The Girl Of Stage [English]

3. To The Fortress Of Solitude

James had contacted Clark Kent. He came to National City to visit Winn. ''How did this happen?'' they stood in Kara's apartment. ''We don't know, she was just gone last Thanksgiving'' Winn said. ''Kara wouldn't just leave National City and you alone, just like that. Somethin is wrong'' Clark said. ''By the way, I think it's really cool that you are Superman'' Winn smiled, like he had this huge crush on Clark. ''Thanks?'' Clark said as Alex walked in. ''Alex, you really need to rest'' Winn said. ''I'm fine'' Alex answered, ''so you know where Kara could be?'' 

''If she's still on earth, there is only one place she can be'' Clark said and changed in Superman. ''I'll take you there'' he said and flew Alex and Winn there. ''So, what are we doing in the middle of a snowstorm?'' Winn asked. ''We're here'' Superman kneeled on the ground and whiped some snow away. A huge key appeared with the 'S' on it. ''You literally keep the key under the doormat?'' Winn thought that was really stupid. ''This key is made of dwarf star. This is heavy, like, really heavy. Only Kara and I can lift it'' he said and put the key in the keyhole. A door appeared. ''Kryptonians first'' Winn said and felt intimidated. ''Sure'' Superman laughed. Alex followed Superman as close as she could. ''This feels kinda creepy'' Winn said. ''Shut up'' Alex warned him. 

''Kara?'' Superman yelled. No answer. Alex and Winn tried it too, still no answer. ''This place is amazing'' Alex said while she looked around. ''This is the only place on earth that reminds me of Krypton, even though I don't remember anything'' Superman said. Then Kelex appeared. ''Kelex!'' Superman said happy and ran to him. ''Intruders'' he warned. ''No, they're my friends, don't kill them'' Superman said and Kelex didn't continue his protocol. ''Kal El, I am very happy to see you'' Kelex said. ''He's kinda creepy'' Winn wispered to Alex. ''I can hear that'' Kelex said to Winn. Superman laughed. ''It's so good to see you'' he said. ''I think so too, I haven't seen you in quite a while'' Kelex said. ''I wish it was in better circumstances'' Superman sighed. ''What is the problem, Kal El, I am here to assist you'' 

''I know, you've always been there for me.''

''What is he?'' Alex asked. ''This is Kelex, everyone used to have them on Krypton'' Superman explained. ''How do you know? I mean, you were a baby when you-'' Winn said but didn't finish that sentence because Alex hit him in his stomach. ''I used to come here a lot and Kelex would tell me stories about Krypton'' Superman said and turned back to Kelex. ''Is Kara here, or has she been here?'' 

''I haven't seen Kara Zor-El since she came here with James'' Kelex answered. ''Wait, James has been here?'' Alex asked. ''Yes, he led her here, because she needed something to remind her of where she came from'' Kelex said. ''So, if she's not here, where the hell could she be?'' Superman asked. ''I think she's not on earth anymore'' Kelex said. ''Wait, do you mean, she has left for Argo City?'' Superman asked. ''What is Argo City?'' Alex asked. ''Argo City is the last remnant of Krypton'' Kelex said. ''So, we still don't know if she's on another earth or in Argo City'' Winn sighed. ''This was useless'' Alex said. ''No, it wasn't. Kelex, can I send a message to mom?'' Superman asked. ''Wait, Alura is alive?'' Alex asked. ''She and a few other people were able to escape to Argo City. It's the New Krypton'' Kelex answered. Alex grabbed Superman away from Kelex. ''How long have you known about Argo City and your mom?'' she demanded an answer. ''A few months, I think'' he answered honest. ''And it never occured to you that maybe Kara had the right to know her mother was alive?'' Alex said. ''I was searching for the right moment to tell her, I mean, we just had a crisis'' 

''That was a few months ago!''

''Look, I'm sorry. I really wanted to tell her, but I know how she thought of Alura. She thought she was evil, or something'' Superman said. ''That was also a few months ago, she forgave Alura for her sins'' Alex said. ''You can send your message'' Kelex announched and the conversation ws over.  This is what the message said in English.

Hello Alura

We wanted to know if Kara is with you, in Argo City. 

You don't have to worry about her.

-Kal El

It was sent. ''How long until we can get an answer?'' Winn asked. ''It could be a few seconds, or a few weeks'' Superman said. ''It better not be a few weeks'' Alex sighed. ''Kal El, Alura has sent a message, would you like me to read it out loud?'' Kelex said. ''Yes, please.''

''Clark?'' Alex asked. ''Sorry, Kelex, English please?'' Superman asked. ''Of course, sorry, I am not used to humans'' he said and translated the message to English. 

Greetings, Kal El

We are glad you reached out to us.

Kara is not with us. Is she alright?

Alura Zor-El

''Kara's not there'' Alex sighed and sat down. ''I suggest you send a message back, because they're worried'' Kelex said and Superman sent a message saying that everything was fine. ''She's on another earth?'' Winn said with doubt. ''Let's go back to the DEO'' Superman said and he flew them back to National City. 

''How do we track someone on another earth?'' Winn asked hopeless. ''I don't know, maybe we should ask Cisco to breach us to it'' Alex said. ''But we don't know which one she's on'' Winn said. ''And last crisis the Monitor said there were infinite earths, so she could be anywhere'' Clark said. ''Maybe team Flash has ideas'' Alex guessed. ''Sure, we can call them'' Winn agreed. ''I need to get back to Metropolis. Keep me updated'' Clark said and flew home. ''I'll call Cisco'' Alex said and walked away. Winn sat down and sighed.

''Mar Novu!'' Kara shouted to the air. She got no answer from him. He had really left her alone on a strange earth. And the worst part was, that she wasn't herself anymore. Maybe from the inside, but not from the outside. She just looked like an teenage girl, who was in highschool again. I need to know if I still have my powers, Kara thought. The streets were empty. She checked it three more times and then tried to fly up. She succeeded. She flew a few miles and landed on a spot where no one was. ''So I still have my powers, but I look like a teenager. But I still am a Kryptonian. I just don't understand the point of all of this'' Kara said to herself. She walked to downtown and tried to fit in, because she had no idea what else to do.
