A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 216 - Reign Meets Talia

In National City, Reign has now had full control over the body of Samantha Arias for a few hours, and in doing so, she has learnt a lot more about Sam's job, and everything she does. Of course, Reign does have the added advantage of already having knowledge of Samantha Arias' life and job, as when she was hiding inside of Sam, she wasn't just pushed into the background, she saw and took in everything. So even before Reign took over Sam's body, she already had a pretty good understanding of how to act as Sam. This has ultimately meant that Reign has found it very easy to just slip into the role of Samantha Arias and do all of the work that she knows Sam was so stressed about. In fact, Reign did it with so much ease, she really thinks that Samantha Arias must have been a truly pathetic human, without any superior intellect, seeing as she believed that all her work would take hours upon hours to actually complete, whereas she was able to complete everything within a few hours. It makes Reign think that perhaps her body is not the perfect body that it could be, and it was made to be by the children of juru back on Krypton. However, Reign knows that she can't concern herself with potential failures of dead Kryptonians, this is her body now, and she will have to just continue to use it to its full potential, even if that does end up being limiting at times. Reign just hopes that the limits that the human Samantha Arias had, does not apply to her, with her body now becoming Kryptonian. Although, with all that in mind, Reign can still tell that her body hasn't fully gained it's Kryptonian powers, as while she has the strength and speed that she expects herself to have, she does not yet have the ability to fly, or use x-ray/heat vision. Reign hopes that the children of juru just didn't fail her, and make her body be incapable of doing those things. Reign knows that to truly be superior than Supergirl, she will need to possess every single one of the girl of steel's powers, and more, even if she is confident that as a superior warrior, with combat knowledge engrained in her mind, she could defeat Supergirl without any extra powers anyway.

After about 2 hours of sitting in Samantha Arias' office, and learning more about everything, Reign is once more joined by Vanessa, who has another nervous look on her face. In fact, Vanessa has such a nervous look that Reign is seriously starting to get tired of the assistant. Reign knows she will have to blend in as Samantha Arias, so she doesn't want herself given away by some stupid incapable human assistant.

"Miss Arias.... I mean.... Reign...." Vanessa says, nervously, and even bows.

Reign chuckles at Vanessa doing that, really thinking that this human before her is truly pathetic.

"You can call me Miss Arias. That is who I am, for now." Reign says, with a smirk.

"Right....." Vanessa nods, in an unsure voice, "Anyway, I have received a message back from my Leviathan contact, and they wish to meet in 30 minutes time."

"Where?" Reign asks.

"In an abandoned old factory building, near the port." Vanessa explains, "They don't want to meet here, in case there is any security measures that Miss Luthor has, that they might be caught on. As they think that Miss Luthor might have improved her security since the last time Leviathan was here, even if she does not know about it."

"Hmmm.... Very well. Take me to this old factory then." Reign says.

"Of course." Vanessa nods.

Vanessa and Reign then walk out of Sam's office, and soon head over to the elevators, getting inside, with Vanessa pressing the button to go down to the lobby. Once the doors close though, Reign gets a call on Samantha Arias' phone. She looks at the phone, and sees that it is Samantha Arias' daughter, Ruby, calling her.

Reign sighs in annoyance, but then answers the call.

"Hey Rubes." Reign says, fully slipping into the role of Samantha Arias, "Are you alright?"
