Girls of Steel

Attack on Star Labs

Cora and Jace were walking down a street after a picnic in the park. They walked hand in hand until Jace needed to go to the bathroom. Cora stood, waiting for him in front of the fast food place he went into.

After a few seconds she heard a noise in the alleyway and followed it. She turned a corner and found a woman being harassed by a bunch of men. She turned to get help, before remembering that she had powers.

She walked up to one of the men while their attention was on the woman, using the shadows around her to make herself invisible. She tapped him on the shoulder and punched him in face when turned around.

He fell to the ground in pain. The other men whipped around to face her, but she had already vanished into the shadows. When she emerged again she was behind them and hit two of them on the back of the head, both falling to the ground.

One of the men reached for her, but she moved fast, knocking him and the last two out easily. She turned to the woman, who was backing away from her.

"Its OK. Get out of here," she said and the woman gave a small thank you before running away. Cora found some rope and tied the group of men together. She then used her superspeed to get them to the police office. In a few seconds, she was walking out of the alleyway to the the fast food place where Jace was waiting.

"Sorry, duty calls," she said.

"You know, if you're gonna keep doing this, you need a super suit," Jace said quietly as they kept walking.

Cora sighed. "I know." She felt her phone buzz in her pocket. It was a text from William.

Star Labs. Now!

"I gotta go. I need to be in Central City. See you when I get back?"

"Of course. Stay safe. Love you."

"I love you too. Bye," she said, giving him a peck on the cheek before disappearing into an alleyway.

When Cora landed in front of Star Labs, she could see that a good part of it was destroyed. Clark was there, helping out since Supergirl was MIA for a couple of months.

"What happened?" she asked. Clark turned to look at her.

"Someone attacked and as you can see, they did some bad damage," he said as Cisco, Caitlyn, Barry and Nora approached them.

"They were asking about a girl... Her name... I can't remember," Cisco said, holding an ice pack on his head.

"Damn, Barry. You really need to update your security," Oliver said as he walked up to them from his car.

"I know. You only say it every time we team up," Barry said sarcastically.

"So, Kara's MIA and we need some extra muscle. Cora?" Cisco said.

"I'm in. Though I could really use a suit," she said, looking at the purplish pink shirt and jeans she was wearing.

"I thought you'd never ask!" he said, and picked up a case that they hadn't notice til now. "I've been working on it since you first came to Earth."

He opened the case to reveal a light blue two piece suit. She used her superspeed to change in the empty lab and came back wearing the suit. The top was cropped, showing off her abs. The skirt stopped just above the knee and had a gold belt. She had red boots with gold details. Her cape was red with Kryptonian symbols going around the edges.

(Basically the Supergirl suit from the comics just add the symbols above the gold)



She did a little twirl. "I love it! Thanks Cisco!" she said, giving him a strong hug. And by strong, I mean strong so she basically lifted him off the ground.

"Can't... Breathe!"

"Oh, sorry," she said, pitting him down. She brushed off her skirt and turned to Barry. "Did they say where they were heading?"

"Metropolis. Looking for this 'girl'" he said.

"Then that's where we go, Kal?"

"Lois is visiting her dad with Johnny, you're all welcome to stay," he said.

"I gotta be in National with Kara and Will. I'll see how I can help from there," Oliver said.

"And Central needs the Flash. And Cisco is in no condition to fight," Caitlyn said.

"So the Super-cousins are on the case," Cora said cheerfully, getting a smile from her cousin.

"I'll see what we can find on them from here. Here are some coms," Cisco said, handing them the devices.

"See you guys later," Clark said and with that, the two Kryptonians were off.

*************************************

Clark and Cora had gone shopping for dinner, already back in their civilian clothes. It was dark out as they walked in Krypton Park. Cora looked up from their conversation when they came to a statue of Superman.

"They really see you as their hero, don't they?" she said, coming to a stop in front of it.

"They do, I suppose," he chuckled.

"Don't these powers ever scare you? I mean, if we just lose control we can wipe out a large chunk of the city."

"They did, at first. But you can't always think of how many people you could hurt. It helps to think of how may people you can save. There's a hero in us all, Cora," he said with a smile before tensing as hears something rattling in a bush.

"Kal?" Cora asked as he dropped the bags of food.

"Stay there, Cora," he said moving closer it, before he was blasted away by a surge of light.

"Cora!" Cisco's voice yelled in her ear through her coms. "If you find the women, don't engage, I repeat don't engage!"

"Too late!" She ran to her cousin's side, but a rope got caught on on her ankle, making her take off to try to get rid of it. The person at the other end of it gave a tug, making it tighten around her ankle. She looked down for the person, but they pulled it stronger, bringing her down. The rope dragged her around, pulling her to a bush. Her heat vision flared up and hit the person who was pulling her. She tried to close her eyes, but she couldn't, her eyes setting trees and shrubs on fire, slicing the Superman statue in half.

Clark, having finally woken up, returned in his Superman suit and covered her eyes with his hands, grunting as his hands burnt. When her heat vision finally stopped, Clark put out the fires with his freeze breath. Hooded figures emerged from all around them, one grabbing Cora in a firm hold.

"Who are you?!" Clark yelled at her, still exhausted from the blast and having to blow out the fiery park. Cora struggled to get out of the person's grasp, shocked at how strong they were. The figure pulled back their hood.

"Hello, Clark," the woman asked.

"You?!"

Who recognised that end scene? I just loved the movie so much, I had to put it in there.

If you don't recognise it, its from Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. Its the story of how Kara crashed on Earth and became Supergirl. A couple chapters will be based off of it, like the big fight that may or may not happen soon.

Most of the chapters will be completely original like the SuperArrow and Ruby x William interactions as well as the end of the story.

Anyway,bye
