"I'm going to National City! To help Supergirl!" I squealed over the phone to Lucas. Since Supergirl became a superhero I idolized her especially since I got my own powers. Whenever I faced a meta I thought I couldn't handle I thought about her and how much hope people like us give to our cities.

"S-seriously? Supergirl needs our help?" It seemed like Lucas was secretly a big Supergirl fan just like me. Although I don't keep it a secret at all.

"Well my help but I got her number so I c-"

"YOU GOT HER PHONE NUMBER?!" I had to pull the phone away from my ear he yelled so loud. I laughed.

"Yes! Now, I have a big day tomorrow. Goodnight." I was sitting cross legged on my bed.

"Okay, don't forget to fill me in on everything. And if you need me I'll fly over in an hour."

"Goodnight Lucas." I said in annoyance and hung up the phone. I pulled the covers up but could hardly sleep because of all my excitement.

The next morning I jumped out of bed. I got dressed, grabbed a bag with some extra clothes and my suit and ran out the door so fast I almost forgot to shut it.

So if you were wondering, the speed of light is 670,616,629 miles per hour. Which means I got to National City, CA from Central City, MO in about half an hour. Driving would take over a day. And I wasn't even going my top speed, I was taking it slow. Taking the scenic route. Fast, I know.

I looked at the place Supergirl- I mean Kara sent me. An apartment in the city. It didn't take me long to find it and I ran up all the stairs to her floor. I knocked on the door of the said apartment and a new face answered. It was a guy about 25 with hair to his shoulders. He was chomping on a piece of pizza. His mouth hung open.

"You left like half an hour ago, how is that possible?" He didn't even make sure it was the right person.

"I run at light speed." I shrugged as if this was normal.

"Dude, that's sick. And your like what? 17?" I shook my head.

"16." He raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly. It was almost as if he welcomed me into an exclusive club. He stepped aside so I could walk in. Inside I saw Kara who was laughing with some other person I didn't know.  It was strange to see Kara not in her suit. She was wearing her hair half up with glasses. She also wore a sweater over a collared shirt giving her a nerdy vibe. The other guy looked about Kara's age, which was almost 10 years older than me. He was wearing a hoodie and a t-shirt that said Star Labs on it, which was weird because Star Labs was destroyed on the night of the particle accelerator. They both turned to me.

"Well, that was fast!" Kara exclaimed. They both walked over to me and the guy I just met started yelling.

"Dude! She can run at the speed of light!" The other guy's jaw dropped.

"I've only just reached Mach 10," He said in disbelief. This must've been the "fastest man alive" that Kara mentioned. But, for all of you people who don't speak nerd, compared to me that's slow. Kara smirked next to the boys.

"Show 'em." She grinned. I knew she meant my invisibility and everything. I disappeared and walked over next to her and reappeared. The long haired guy made a Pterodactyl screech.

"No way! Siiiiick!" I started thinking sick was the only word in this man's vocabulary. I held my hand out and made it glow. Another screech came from him.
