The New Age Justice League

Episode 1 "A New Age"

Kara Zor El flies into the Daily Planet in distress as the ground shakes slowly, Lois Lane was sitting in a room with Harley Quinn beside her. Harley didn't know what to do since she was bad with these things and was only there on a mission with the Suicide Squad. Kara walked up to Quinn who looked really shocked and almost scared, "it happened skirt... He's gone..." Kara walked up to the computer and looked at it to see Lex Luthor standing over Superman's body on the ground in his Kryptonite suit. Lois couldn't speak, she was broken in that moment, Kara turned to Harley and took a deep breath to get herself together, "Harley I need to to get Lois and anyone else out of the area, the League is MIA, I don't know what's happening but the Legion of Doom is up to something." Harley began to show a side to her she never showed, her old self, "you got it Kara... Don't die out there, you may just be the last hope..." Kara heard their hearts beating fast, she heard the hearts of thousands beating in fear as she flew away quickly.

Kara broke the sound barrier as she fought back her emotions as she flew into downtown Metropolis and landed. Once the dust finally settled she saw Thawne, Heatwave, The Trickster and Sinestro all standing around a beaten Justice League, bodies filled the streets around them, the League failed and the Suicide Squad was hard at work evacuating people. "Why are you doing this?! Killing innocent people just to get one man." Luthor looked at Kara with a smile and said, "oh I'm not the one who killed those people, your friends here did when they just went around destroying things to get us, we just put them down!" Thawne threw Barry's body to the ground as he sped over to Kara, "we should kill the rest of them to tie up loose ends but if the world sees them for who they are... no worse than us then that's a fate worse than death... When nobody trusts their heroes anymore, when they are hunted... I like to see where this'll go." Luthor looked at the others as the sounds of ships filled the air, "they're coming, quickly leave the area, our work here is done..." Kara didn't even make an effort to chase them down as she dropped down to her knees beside Clark.

"I'm sorry.... I was supposed to protect you and I failed..." Kara felt the anger rush through her as she tried hard to fight it back. Kara saw the ships fly above as armored soldiers flew to the ground, Kara looked at the clouds above as she took off into the sky. Kara hovered over Earth and looked down at the smoke coming from Metropolis, Kara tightened her fists and after a brief second she let all of her anger out at once. The scream heard around the world, enough power was released to cause blackouts across the globe. Kara was broken, in pain, she didn't know what to do, everything was falling apart. Kara slowly calmed a bit as she looked down on Earth, she slowly closed her eyes and listened to the peaceful sounds of the endless void called space. Kara would spend most of her days there trying to clear her mind, waiting for something to happen...

2 Years Later:

Kara opened her eyes slowly, her suit having slightly more armor and her crest resembling Superman's more. Kara knew she had to change to fill the shoes left behind by Clark, she let out a deep breath as she dashed down to Smallville, Kansas. Supergirl flew past the streets of Superman's hometown, past the Superman statue in the center. Supergirl stopped by the Kent farm and landed in the field where she felt the wheat with her hands as she slowly strolled through to the house. Martha opened the door to see Kara and had a big smile as she went in to hug Supergirl, "Kara... Hey it's been so long... how have you been holding up?" Supergirl looked at Martha, then at the floor at the tiny hand print from a young Clark and said, "I don't know if I can keep this up, Superman was a symbol of hope, a beacon of light for people, I've never felt this much pressure, all this rage and anger inside I don't know what to do... " Martha looked at kara in the eyes and said, "you know it wasn't Clark who was the symbol of hope..." She placed her hand on the crest and said, "it's that symbol... It means something, it stands for hope, it's up to the person wearing it to continue that. The people aren't going to reject you, if anything you brought a small glimmer of hope for the future in this broken world. Clark would be proud of you, after all of this, you never lost hope in anything, spread that courage and strength, there are countless people out there dying to make a change in the world, people like you. Go out there and find them, Clark would never have given up so easily if he didn't know you couldn't fix things, he knew he lost but he knew you still had a fighting chance, that's why he didn't want you to come flying in..." Kara smiled a tiny bit and then reversed the smile as she said calmly, "you're heartbeat, it's... it's not normal..."
