Pink Kryptonite

Get Bent

AN: If anyone found this offensive or any way transphobic, please tell me!

"Are you sure about this?" Kara asked, scooting away as Alex approached her with the Kryptonite needle.

"Absolutely!" Alex replied. "Besides, you did agree that you would, if you didn't win the bet!"

"How could I forget?" Kara asked sarcastically.

"Don't know!" Alex shrugged cheerfully, then without further ado, she jabbed Kara's arm with the needle.

A few minutes later, a buff new superhero could be seen roaming through the DEO HQ.

"Is it Superman?" some of the agents of DEO asked themselves, for the figure amongst them wore the trademark Super outfit and had a very masculine, muscled cut, but there was something off about all of it. For one, this new Super had shaggy blond hair and crystal blue eyes. The Superman they knew, the one that hailed from Metropolis, had black hair and brown eyes. So who was this new guy?

"Don't ask," the mysterious superhero muttered as he shuffled past. Behind him, Alex Danvers was following after and snickering.

"J'onn?" the new superhero shoved open the door to J'onn's office. J'onn looked up at him in surprise.

"Who are you?" he asked. He, like the other DEO agents, saw and recognized the Super suit, but not the wearer. The face was large and sharp, handsome and smooth. There was something vaguely familiar about it, but J'onn wasn't quite sure...

"It's me!" the superhero replied, voice deep and low. "Kara Danvers!" for a moment, there was only silence at J'onn gave his office's intruder a strange look, then he finally was able to formulate one single question:

"Wait, what?"

A few minutes later, J'onn was rubbing his temples.

"You mean to tell me that you stumbled upon a new form of Kryptonite and your first idea was to stab yourself in the arm with it to see what would happen?" he demanded. Why did his "children" have to be so reckless?

"It was Alex's idea!" Kara pointed an accusatory finger at Alex.

"But you must've said yes!" J'onn shot back.

"Ok, I did," Kara grumbled, crossing her arms over her pecs.

"But Alex, may I ask why you thought this was, in any way, a good idea?" J'onn turned his ire on the elder Danvers sister.

"Well, I had read about the Pink Kryptonite and wanted to know if it was true!" Alex replied.

"You mean you already knew what it would do?!" Kara interrupted angrily. "Alex! You said this would be new to both of us!"

"It was!" Alex replied, raising her hands as Kara glared at her.

"You mean you let her inject you with a substance when you didn't know what it would do?!" J'onn interrupted. He narrowed his eyes at Kara again. Realizing what she'd said, Kara suddenly became very interested in the floor of the office.

J'onn turned his exasperated expression back on Alex.

"May I ask how and why?" he demanded.

"I was reading up on the different types of Kryptonite that we knew of and I stumbled across Pink Kryptonite," Alex admitted. "I read that it had the power to cause a Kryptonian to change sexes..." J'onn heaved another sigh, looking back and forth between Alex and her new "brother", who was look quite uncomfortable in a male body.

"Is there any way to cure this?" he demanded and when Alex could only suggest time, both he and Kara buried their faces in their hands.

But, as it turned out, time was indeed the cure. It only took a few days, but once the last of the Pink Kryptonite was flushed out of Kara's system, she was restored to her female body. But for those few days in which Kara had a male body, life got very interesting. For one, nearly every citizen of National City mistook her for her cousin, or some new member of the Super family.
