Reincarnated as Supergirl (YJ / Kara Zor-El (Comics))

Chapter 40

"WHAT!?" Danni yelled. Only Kara pushing her chest plate back down against the bed kept the android from getting up.

"Huh? Oh, I don't mean this world, don't worry about it," Kara dismissed her concerns, finally finishing her adjustments to the connection between the cores and starting to put the finishing touches on the... operation? Giving a quick thought about the possibility, she shook her head. "Well, I probably could take over this world too but, really, taking over the Earth would be such pain. Too much paperwork, too many pesky villains. Heck, this rock isn't even united under a single world governing body yet. Can you imagine how finicky just having to localize all my laws would be?"

Living 16 years in Krypton had changed her view of Earth by quite a bit. Previously, Kara could more or less understand how Earth's worst practices could happen. Now... now they just looked plain stupid, even baffling.

"Kara, the fact that you'd think anything you just said would cause me 'not to worry' would be amusing if it wasn't so concerning," Danni sighed, banging the back of her head against the bed and causing Kara to snicker in amusement.

There was a pause in the conversation as Kara reconnected a few wires, causing Danni's back to bend and she momentarily burst into flames, but they weren't dangerously hot and the gynoid quickly regained control of her power.

"There, that should do it. Can you try using your wind now?" Kara stepped away from the bed and asked.

For a second, Danni frowned as she tried to get a handle on her new power; she imagined it was like trying to lift only a single eyebrow for the first time, not exactly hard, but something she didn't have experience with.

Above one of her hands, a current of wind started forming, twisting around the limb and forming a very slow twister. Immediately, she knew she could empower it to create winds strong enough to uproot trees.

While it was probably only a tenth as powerful as her flames she could already see a lot of uses for this new ability. Closing her fist, she canceled the wind and looked at Kara. "It's a lot weaker than my fire, did you install it correctly?"

"Pretty sure I did, the core is just a lot weaker than Red Tornado's, or yours for that matter," Kara replied, starting to close up Danni's belly. "I suspect Professor Morrow just didn't have access to the same materials as before when he was building it. Plus, your programming just isn't made to work with wind, but it's good enough to adapt with time. In a week or two the core should double in strength as you adapt to it."

Glancing at her phone, Kara saw that Detective Chimp had replied to her, he was too busy today to give lessons, working on a magical murder. She briefly asked if he needed help and, when he said no, sent a message to Kori informing her that the expert wasn't available.

"You know, now that I think of it when people talk about alien invasions, it's usually someone invading us, not the other way around," Danni commented as she pulled down her shirt and got up from the bed, the cable at her back automatically disconnecting. "So, out of morbid curiosity, which poor schmucks were you thinking of conquering?"

"Well, I should probably have said 'liberate'," Kara explained, helping the gynoid up and doing one last diagnosis of her systems. "And, well, the Justice League is probably gonna be helping out, but Tamaran isn't being controlled by a single villain, there's actually an interplanetary army there. Worse, even if the League does free the planet, the entire system is filled with criminals of all kinds, not to mention the not small possibility of re-occupation; they'd still need an army of their own to defend themselves."

"Tamaran?" Danni asked, already attempting to create a twister below her legs so she could fly... it wasn't going very well.

"Kori's home planet. It's been conquered by the strongest power in the Vega System," Kara explained. Avoiding Danni's eyes, Kara couldn't help but feel some guilt as she admitted. "You know, I always wanted to take over a planet... It kinda makes me feel bad, how much I expect I'm gonna enjoy the mess, I mean."
