Alrighty then, onwards with the first arc within the story: Reunited. This will be somewhat of an introduction for some characters from the comics, such as Kara, into Young Justice. Some characters from the comics will be brought into the story though mainly from the Post-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint eras of DC. Sorry, Pre-Crisis era fans, but I have no knowledge of said era, if but extremely limited as that era started in 1938 and went through 1985. Yeah, lots of stuff to go through along with some very inconsistent power levels, histories, etc. Rather Post-Crisis and other eras ahead have more somewhat stable things mentioned above.

Now for those reviewers that I wasn't able to get to –

Aergaia: I do hope that you don't drop the story simply because the pairing you wanted may or may not show up.

Chunky Funky Monkey: How was this boring for you?

sk: You're welcome, I wanted to go more in depth with Kara's backstory as opposed to doing multiple flashbacks that prolly would've contradicted one another.

Guest007: Thanx, though I hope you don't drop the story due the pairing that may or may not happen.

Greer123: You're welcome, and thanx.

Pedrofaria339: I wanted to try and combine the different continuities of Krypton, along with establishing certain histories, characters, and future arcs, along with Kara's background for Young Justice since she has yet to appear in it.

Guest Chapter 3, April 11: Thanx.

W1362713: Well, you're about to see what Kara does when waking up to such a thing.

Guest Chapter 1, April 12: True on that, though in his mind he did contribute to their deaths to an extent.

dvilleza: There is no detailed background on some of the characters within the show, and DC is usually changing the continuities up with events such as Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Flashpoint, etc. What I tried to do was combine and make things a little unique among the other continuities for the show since it's only been slightly expanded on in the very short comic run it had, and the interviews with the show creators. So even reading the comics, would not have given you the proper background as much as you'd think. Hence the last chapter.

Kir what: Thanx, and more will be on the way :)

Guest Chapter 3, Apr 24: You'll have to be patient.

Guest Chapter 1, May 11: How would that work exactly?

Revanchist21: Thanx dude, and I do plan on writing more chapters in the future.

kyuubi no goku: Uhm… what…? Was there anything that you liked or disliked about the chapters?


Chapter 3 – Reunited Part 1: The Supergirl from Krypton

"LIAR!"

Naruto just watched in shock as Kara laid her fist right into Clark's jaw and sent him flying the other direction with a visible shockwave that pushed back the slowly falling snow along with the sound of clapping thunder! On the one hand, he was impressed that she was able to throw a punch that launched someone miles away, while on the other he was a little intimidated, but also somewhat attracted to that aspect of a woman.

'Why do I always somehow find woman that can kick my ass easily, attractive?'

Why the hell was he thinking about this?! His new sensei just got slugged by a girl barely his age!

"Ow, I wasn't expecting that." Clark had to rub his jaw to ease the pain a bit, "How is she…?" Kara ran straight at him with a cocked fist primed to go straight to his face again while she yelled at him in their native tongue, "Kal-El is a baby! Only a few months old, you can't be—!"

Kara stopped before she hit this Naruto guy in the face as he suddenly appeared in-between the two of them with both arms thrown wide in a protective gesture, "Get out of my way, Naruto!"

Naruto shook his head as he stood resolute being a wall to try and keep things from going any further, "Look, I don't know what the hell you guys were talking about, but you didn't need to punch Supes." Kara got fed up with this not understanding and grabbed Naruto by his coat collar, "Get out of the way! He's lying! I—" Next thing she knew, that weird vision thing was afflicting her again as she saw Naruto's muscles, veins & arteries, some other weird and brightly colored system deeper inside his body, finally leading to his bones being visible.

Letting go of the ninja, Kara closed her eyes as she tried to make the sensation go away, along with the confounding sounds & voices that bombarded her ears. She dropped down into the snow with her passed out not long after that with no chance of having time to adjust to her new gifts.

"Ok, what the hell just happened?" Naruto exclaimed in confusion while he turned to Clark who was checking to see if Kara was alright, "Her senses overloaded her, and she couldn't take it. She shouldn't've been able to hit me that hard, much less make it sting…" rubbing his jaw again in thought, as she packed one hell of a punch, "…it took me years to get that strong, but she just landed here, and now she has strength, heat vision, and some form of sonic scream."

Naruto wasn't exactly sure how their powers worked exactly, "Wait, how did you get your powers?" Clark turned to Naruto to explain a bit, "My powers come from being exposed to the Earth's sun, and the radiation it gives off enables the powers I have. But I didn't start developing my powers until I was nine. She has them, probably all of them and she's only seventeen…" He scratched his head trying to figure out just how his cousin had gotten as strong as he was.

Naruto picked her up and carried her bridal style, "So who is she? I got her name, but nothing else." Clark looked back at the unconscious Kara with a solemn look, "She's my cousin, Kara. My uncle's daughter. But… I don't understand how her pod—" Clark stopped as his attention went back to Kara's pod, "—Her pod. It'll have a flight recorder onboard and a command key meant for her. I'll need you to carry her while I get her pod and follow me." Turning back to Naruto he spoke, "Even though it's still pretty early, I think you should at least know about it."

Clark flew back to grab Kara's pod while he held her, "About what?"

Smirking goodnaturedly back at Naruto, Clark spoke, "It'll be better if I show first before I tell you. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it." Well now his curiosity was peaked. Making sure Kara was still in his arms at a good position, he strode back over to follow Clark.

They were prepared to deal with the Russians that were sent to capture Kara and her pod, but upon arriving back at the site, they saw Batman standing in his winter gear with the Russians knocked out cold and the Batwing parked nearby, "I had a feeling you'd follow us here." Clark spoke up over the incoming snow storm about to hit them.

"We need to get out of here before they send in any more support." Bruce looked over at Naruto carrying Kara and noticed the same symbol that was on Clark's own uniform. Looking back at the bruise Clark was sporting, while it faded away slowly he connected the dots, "Family spat?"

Floating down, Clark placed a hand on the pod, "Just a small misunderstanding from my cousin." Raising an eyebrow, Bruce prodded into the matter while they could as Clark looked inside the pod, "Your cousin?"

Naruto tried to clarify a bit, "Her name's Kara, or at least that's what she told me barely." Raising her a bit, "I played charades with her for a bit to try and make thing easier for her. Then…" Gesturing to Clark, "…she lands a solid punch on his jaw after they talked and tries to go at him again but then I stepped in front of her, then she grabs me and yells some more, but at me this time, and then she passes out from getting everything all at once." Raising her body up again, "And now we're here, and I'm telling you something you probably already know." Naruto more or less was dipping his voice down with each word given that Clark had explained a bit on how Bruce operated as a detective at times.

Bruce did see how things went before they arrived as he had tapped into the satellite feed and saw what happened up until he landed where the others had disappeared leaving the Russians to deal with. They were already out of their mechanized armor suits, allowing him to disable the men while he sent a backup signal to come pick up the unit to not let them freeze to death. Looking back to Clark, he could tell that this was deeply personal to him and had a feeling what he wanted to do next.

Glancing back to Naruto he went ahead and asked, "Where do you want to take the situation to?" Clark turned his gaze from the pod back to Bruce, "Let's head to the Fortress. We'll be able to figure this all out over there…" He looked at Naruto, "…plus we'll need to see just how fast you can go on foot without my help flying around."

Naruto felt a sweatdrop form at the back of his head, 'Couldn't we just ride with the Bat guy in his flying machine?' he thought with no small amount of exasperation.

Naruto shook the thoughts from his mind, "Well, it'll be nice to see just how fast I can go, but, where exactly are we heading?" Bruce looked to him as he spoke next, "Just follow us on the ground." As Clark shut Kara's pod and lifted it off the ground, Bruce went back to the Bating and fired up the engines with the two senior heroes making headway to the north with Naruto following them as fast as he could on foot with Kara in his arms, "I really hope you don't wake up and slug me in the face on the way to… wherever the hell we're going to."

However, they were unaware that they were being watched via Camouflaged Drone.


-Elsewhere in a Secure Facility-

"Ma'am, are you sure we shouldn't have intervened?"

"Superman and from what it looks like his new and very interesting protégé have it under control, along with Batman. The Russians won't do anything else now that they've got two League members on their soil, and act against them, lest they deal with scrutiny from the rest of the UN."

"So now there's two Kryptonians, or maybe three if that whiskered kid is also."

"Keep him monitored. But as far as we can tell, the world has it's very own Supergirl."


-The Heroes-

The Fortress of Solitude. A place that was a remnant of Krypton, built with the technology of one of its most brilliant scientists and given to Clark as a place to help him in his life a hero to the world. But it was also his home away from home, a place to rest, relax and clear his head.

"Holy crap this place is huge!"

And a place that amazed people to no end on just how massive it was. They arrived at the fortress shortly after leaving, having already been well inside the arctic circle, getting them there within a few dozen minutes and all Naruto could really say was just that. Not just the fact that it appeared to be made from giant crystals that came from the ground, but just the size. It had to at least be the size of Konoha but just as tall the mountain that sat in the back of the village with the Hokage faces.

Clark set the pod down as Bruce kept the Batwing hovering above them, "This, Naruto, is the Fortress of Solitude…" Clark pulled out the command key as he placed it over the key slot and it automatically inserted itself into the building. "…it's a home away from home, which hopefully will help Kara not hit either of us when she wakes up."

"Command key accepted. Welcome back, Kal-El and guests." The synthetic voice came over the wind blowing around outside the fortress. The command key sprang back out as Clark pocketed it back in his uniform and took the pod, while the Batwing slowly moved in as the massive hangar door opened up to an area large enough for him to land on.

Stepping inside the fortress, Naruto felt all the cold air from outside recede as the door closed, "Ok, so now I'm standing in a giant fort made of ice, holding a teenage girl who can put me in orbit with a flick to the nose, on a planet that isn't my own or even this whole dimension…yup, I'm pretty sure I'm close to've seen it all."

"Five dollars says you haven't." Bruce said aloud glumly while, the ninja followed the two senior heroes through the large hallways. He saw that there were multiple signs labelled to show where they were headed or passing by, whether it be the 'Weapons Vault', 'Intergalactic Zoo', or something called 'Science Laboratory'; their current destination as it seemed.

The room they entered, was large enough for Kara's pod to be placed in, along with a large supercomputer that looked more advanced than the one back in the Hall of Justice. And just when he felt that this place couldn't get any more awesome, a floating oval like thing came down and spoke in the same synthesized voice that welcomed them outside, "Hello Kal-El. Welcome back Batman, and I am happy to welcome you new guest. What is your designation?" The liquid geo moving in sync with its feminine voice.

Naruto wasn't exactly sure what to say to this…robot…? "Uhm…" Clark came up to the weird thing and introduced them, "Naruto this is Kelex; she's a service android that maintains and helps me around the fortress." Turning to 'Kelex' as it was now called, "Kelex, this is Naruto, he's a friend and he'll be around to help us figure out what happened with Kara here." Gesturing to the girl in the ninja's arms.

Kelex floated down to get a look at her, and then it seemed to flair its panels in excitement if it could be described. "How joyous! Both members of the House of El have reunited, after twenty-six years, two months and eleven days!" Kelex floated off to the computer as it began to wirelessly operate it, bringing up the pod that Kara was in on screen for the heroes to begin working.

A scanning bed raised up next to the pod for Kara, "Place her on the bed. We need to know if she has any abnormalities in her system that could explain her powers manifesting so quickly." Bruce told Naruto as he started typing up on the computer, while Clark placed some safety gloves on as he jumped into the pod's seat inside to see where the navigation logs where.

"Please don't wake up and punch me." Naruto chanted more to himself in a mantra like he'd usually do if something that could blow up in his face came around. Gently laying Kara down on the bed, he stepped back as it began to hum with weird beam scrolling down from head to toe of her body, with the results already showing up on the computer.

Bruce focused on the readings he was getting from the scans, and he was… troubled to say the least. "Clark, have you found anything inside her pod?" He didn't take his eyes off the screen with what he was seeing.

"It looks like her pod was damaged in the launch, but—" A sound very much like the one that followed with a command key springing out of its slot, "—here it is. The command key, now…" He reinserted the command key to bring the navigation logs and systems online, "… let's see what happened to you, Kara." The liquid geo systems sprang up with systems analysis along with the holo-interface on the viewing glass, "Her ship was hit by a… Pulse Rifle, what?" That didn't make any sense to Clark.

Bruce walked over to the pod to get a better view outside. As he walked around, Naruto was staying close to Kara in case she woke up, but he also tried to see where the damage was, "Hmm, would that be the problem?" Bruce narrowed his eyes at the scorch marks and damaged hull, with no doubt fried internal circuitry, "Her pod was likely shot at by someone on Krypton."

Clark was bringing up the system logs and what had occurred during the launch sequence, "Navigation systems says that the pod suffered a failure in its guidance function after taking the hit." He read aloud, "Secondary systems switched over to put her into stasis as the pod began to emit yellow sunlight inside, and then placed her in orbit around Sol's sun for the past 20 years or so for 'prolonged radiation exposure'."

Naruto wasn't sure about what the hell it was even supposed to do, "Soooo… what? Her pod took a hit and then just… froze her or something for twenty-something years, why?" The computer pinged with a chiming sound, signaling that the scans had finished all the way. Bruce walked over to see just what all was with Kara's body. He looked over the final results and his eyes narrowed at what he was looking at, "Clark, you need to see this."

Clark got out of the pod's seat and walked over to Bruce while he looked back to Naruto, "Stay by her side in case she wakes up."

Giving a thumbs up to Clark, he stood by Kara's bed while the other two looked at the computer. Although he was momentarily distracted by the other ship inside the room with them. It was large, and had the same architectural style of Kara's, but it was more bulbous with no wings or anything beyond the main shape, "Weird lookin' thing…"

Meanwhile Clark was looking at the scans that Bruce called him over to look at, "You see the abnormalities?" Clark was looking over all of the changes that had been done to Kara. Various gene sequences were inserted along her genetic code, throughout her entire body. Given how advanced Krypton's technology was, it didn't surprise him if he saw maybe one or two different gene sequences, but what he saw was something else entirely.

Her body was riddled with her own genetic code, but there were graft designs that held the alternate ones together, while something else was underneath it altogether. "I see it, but who would've done this to her?"

"It does explain that sonic scream of hers, however, there's no telling what other powers she has that you don't. Not to mention her metabolism is faster than yours." Bringing up a few other scan results, he continued on, "She was exposed to yellow sunlight radiation since the pod received damage and placed her into stasis. Then it was placed in orbit around the sun for the next two decades. She could be strong enough to match you, maybe stronger and faster going by the way she hit you and pounced on you without you having a chance to get your bearings."

Clark could already feel the bits of paranoia in his words, "Bruce, I know what you're thinking…"

Bruce turned to face Clark, "Do you?"

"You think that it's not a coincidence that my cousin came to Earth right around when Naruto and possibly the others did." Clark stated as a fact. Bruce brought up the League files with Obito shown right up, "This man was able to manipulate events for almost twenty years, hiding in the shadows, taking control of key individuals and planning many steps ahead of some of the most intelligent people on this planet, and accomplish what they couldn't do."

"I doubt he would know about Kara at all…"

Naruto started to tune the two older men out as they started arguing on the merits of Kara being used by Obito, as he kept an eye on Kara whom was still out cold from her senses overloading her. "Heh, it's funny. I wake up all confused and start punching people asking where the hell I am, and I'm pretty sure you did the same thing." Somehow, he found it hard to believe that she was meant to outright attack them because the Uchiha found out within a day or so who his, well… associates were, and who could be related to them.

He took the time to examine Kara up close noticing her nicely tanned & smooth skin, the slow breathing in and out of her nostrils, how soft her lips looked, and he reluctantly tried to keep himself from caressing her face… which would be very, very creepy, 'Please tell me I'm not getting hormones over a girl I just met and doesn't understand a word I say and vice versa…'

Naruto didn't even notice that he was only a few inches apart from her face. Well he didn't need to be told twice that she'd probably punch him in the face.

Nope.

What occurred next was more or less what one would expect; Kara's eyes opened groggily and after regaining consciousness, only to be looking up at Naruto with surprise at first to which he waved little and said something, "Hi."

Next thing he knew, she pushed him with the new strength she had into her pod, causing Naruto to accidentally hit something inside to ajar a red crystal encased inside a hollow clear crystal loose and press a weird looking button, "Ow, ok I really should've backed up a bit there." He rubbed the back of his head in pain as Kara looked around frantically, 'Yeah, definitely not all that different from me in the whole not back home anymore situation.'

Clark and Bruce rushed over to see what just happened with Kelex in tow, "You alright?" Bruce extended a hand to help Naruto out of the pod, "Well, my pride's kinda down a bit. Shoulda been able to dodge that."

"It happens." The two 'regular' people in the room turned to the Kryptonians to which Kara was now struggling to get back on the ground since she now discovered she could fly and was frantically trying to get down, while Clark flew up to help her out as he tried to talk to her.

Naruto just stood alongside Bruce while Kelex floated between the two Kryptonians and it's 'face' vibrated as it spoke in the language, that neither he nor Bruce could understand. Scrunching his brows, he kinda wanted to know what they were saying, "You know what they're saying?" Bruce just took an earpiece out of his utility belt and explained, "Put it in your ear and it'll translate what they're saying." Taking the small piece of tech that never really ceased to amaze him and following the Batguy's instructions he listened in on the conversation.

Kara looked at Clark with a fury in her eyes as she pointed to Kelex, "Where am I?! And why do you have a service android?!"

Clark gestured for her to calm down, "You're in the Fortress of Solitude, Kara. And this is Kelex, our house's android." Said android was currently hovering in between them off to the side as it spoke, without fully processing what it said next.

"It truly is a joyous day to see the House of El reunited after so long its destruction." Clark looked to Kelex in stupor. Granted the android did say some things that were a little blunt and quick, but he should've been able to process that Kara had no idea, or rather had the lack of memory on what happened just before she woke up.

Kara's face went from anger to shock and confusion as her voice was laced with fear, "…w-what…?" Her hands shakily went by her side as she felt a chill up her spine.

Clark looked down in regret and sadness as he placed his hands atop Kara's shoulders, "I'm sorry. I wanted to try and tell you this the slow and steady way, but I guess Kelex went ahead and dove straight into it." Taking a deep breath as he gazed at Kara's face; a mixture of worry and fear, not sure if she heard what Kelex said was right as unshed tears began to form beneath her eyes, "Krypton is gone… its core imploded, and the planet was destroyed."

Kara stood, or levitated motionless as he explained the truth further, "Our parents knew what was happening and they made sure that we were sent off world before it was destroyed. I'm truly sorry, Kara."

"H-how…how did it just d-die…?" Kara listened as Clark elaborated more on the details that he was given when he first created the fortress, with Kelex and the programed vids that hif father, Jor-El created for hime in haste before Krypton's death.

After explaining it all, Kara could only look down in sadness and despair of what happened. The unshed tears began to trickle and fall to the floor as the teenage Kryptonian slowly floated down to the ground and the damn broke with tears and sniffles going, coupled with the small cry that began as a whimper followed by one of anguish and despair.

Naruto just looked on as Kara continued to mourn her loss. He wanted to try and comfort her in some way, but he wasn't sure if he could. Sure, he lost his world, just as she did, but he wasn't her family. He didn't know her at all, whereas Clark more than likely had a good idea of what kind of person she was.

Speaking of said relative, Clark had already floated back down to place a comforting hand on her, as she slowly enveloped him in a hug that held on for dear life, for reality to sink into her.

"I-I remember now… Mother, she told me Krypton was going to die. That it was our final hour and they sent us away…" Kara continued to cry into Clark's shoulder as Naruto looked on. Honestly, he felt it best if he were to leave them alone for the time being. He wasn't family like they were; best thing to do was let them talk it all out so he decided to head back to the entrance of the Fortress. Bruce seemed to have the same idea since he strode back to the computer to continue working.

"Man, this place is like nothing I've ever seen before." Naruto came to the atrium to take the appearance in all the better. The walls held an organic appearance with smooth designs that curved with a unique architecture unlike what he saw in Metropolis, and it almost seemed alive in its own way.

There were several things that were interesting, but it was the statue in the center of the atrium that stood out above all the others. Two people, a man and a woman stood tall with their opposite arms stretched out high above their head with a sphere with markings above them.

Maybe it was a memorial of sorts? Where they Supes parents? The ice sculptures weren't the most useful things to tell him about faces. He was lost in his thoughts when he felt a small tap on his shoulder; turning around to the now present Kara and the robot floating next to her with its 'face' shifting around.

"Hello, Naruto." The liquid geo vibrated as the 'bot spoke, "Lady Kara wished to speak with you while Kal-El and Batman discussed data; I am here to translate for you."

Kara rubbed her arm in slight embarrassment as Naruto did see the tell-tale signs of her tears subsiding with red, puffy eyes "I… I'm sorry for earlier, I didn't mean to… do what I did." Looking down in shame no doubt from her actions in the last hour since crashing down on Earth. "I lashed out when Kal told me who he was, because for me… Krypton was just yesterday, and yesterday he was still a baby." A lone tear fell with sadness as her voice cracked while she continued, "Yesterday, I… I was in the academy like any other day, and I—" Kara was cut off as Naruto brought her into a hug, "Hey, I understand waking up in a place that isn't your own…" Kelex's liquid geo vibrated with his voice translating to Kryptonese for Kara's ears, "…knowing that your home is gone, with your life getting turned upside down and then it crashes on your head." He brought her out of the hug, but he kept his hands on her shoulders. Naruto himself wasn't holding any tears, but his heart did ache from the sadness.

"I mean… I was just as confused and angry like you were…" Naruto let go of her shoulders as continued, "…but, your cousin gave me a hand to help me out with starting over, and I know he wants to help you too. So, what do ya say. We start over? My name's Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you." Naruto held his hand out to Kara for her to shake.

At first, she seemed hesitant due to the fear of her newfound strength, but she lamented and gently clasped his hand with both of hers to be on the safe side, "I-I am Kara Zor-El. Nice to meet you too, Naruto." Naruto felt that while Kara's strength was something not to be screwed around with, he could feel that she was doing her best to be gentle, but he noticed just how soft her skin was, but he could feel the trace bits of sparring sessions from her past.

Kara looked at Naruto a bit more inquisitively, to which she asked him, "Have we met somewhere before? I don't know why but you just look familiar." Now Naruto was the one that looked confused, "Well, the first time we met, you were taking down some dudes in giant metal suits." Kara shook her head, "No, I mean before that… it's so weird…"

A loud bark interrupted Kara's line of thought as a large white blur suddenly slammed into Naruto as Kara jumped back before a big smile graced her face, "Krypto! You're alive!" Naruto stared back up at the large dog that if he had a good guess, was at least a little bigger than Akamaru. "Uhm…hi…?"

Krypto looked at Naruto for a bit, before he started sniffing his face to which Kara knew that he was just seeing if he was friendly. Next thing he knew, he was being slobbered all over by said alien dog as he started to lick his entire face. 'Ugghhh… seriously?' Naruto thought to himself, meanwhile Kara could only look like the giddiest girl in the holidays, "How do you get out of the Phantom Zone, boy?"

Kara remembered when she was younger when her father and uncle were conducting experiments with trying to find a safe way to open and close gateways into the Phantom Zone, but there was an accident one day as she was playing with the family dog out in the garden. Next thing she knew, she was waking up to learn that the experimental gateway that her father and uncle Jor-El had tried to stabilize, collapsed on itself, to which as she and Krypto had been playing near their lab, but the incident took half the building and part of the garden with it. It was the last time she ever saw their family pet.

Krypto cut the licking out before he turned up to see Kara in front of him and rushed to pounce on her, though she took his weight with almost no effort as the dog started licking her, "Oh well, who cares, I'm just glad you're back!" Naruto got back up while he just watched the two enjoy a nice reunion, all the while wiping dog off of his face.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Naruto couldn't help but get that warm feeling seeing Kara smile like that. Sometimes the little things like this could make someone happy in the face of losing everything they've known in their lives.

Kara had to try and pull Krypto off her to get her bearings, "Ok, ok that's enough Krypto! We can play later, alright." The big alien dog obeyed his old friend and dropped back down while he wagged his tail happily. Kara looked back to Naruto, "We probably should get back to Kal and Broody Bat."

Naruto raised an amused brow at Kara's nickname for Bats, "Broody Bat? That the best you got? I can come up with better nicknames." Kara smirked. A smirk he took as 'Challenge Accepted', "Oh, really Whiskers?"

'Huh… she's a natural.' Naruto thought to himself. Guess he'd have some competition after all, "I've been doing this since I was six." The duo walked side-by-side with Krypto and Kellex behind them, with the latter still translating for Kara.

In his mind, he just made another new friend, and probably just helped keep someone out of a dark place.


-Superman & Batman-

Kara left after she had apologized to Clark for trying to beat him down, to which left him and Bruce to analyze the data on Kara herself. The Fortress' computer had compiled her genetic structure and pod logs, though both men were confused as to what they were looking at, mostly the DNA sect of data. So, Batman decided to ask Clark for his 'secret friend' for help that he mentioned to Naruto about his newfound strength, to which Clark was hesitant at first, but he relented and made a call to her as it seemed.

Though while Bruce expected something along the lines of screen sharing, he wasn't expecting a hard-light hologram of the woman who now stood with both men, analyzing Kara's genetics as her synthesized voice spoke, "From what I can tell, she's had gene sequences from four separate species that have been modified heavily, and grafted to her DNA."

Dr. Shay Veritas. One of the most intelligent people on the planet, but also considered in many star systems across the cosmos, had become a close friend of the Man of Steel back in his early days when he started out as Superman and helped him get a better grasp of his power limits. She had established a research facility near the Earth's core, as a way to keep out of prying eyes such as Luthor and those of his kind, but the facility was threatened when a dimensional portal experiment gone haywire was about to suck it into another realm entirely. Fortunately, Superman had arrived just in time to save Shay and her staff, but the price was high.

Shay had been contacted by Clark to help out in a scientific matter, which she also enjoyed quite often and transmitted the data to her lab for simultaneous analysis, "Not only that…" Shay focus and filtered the DNA strands down further beyond what they could have gone to and saw that her genetic code was not only expanded by said grafts, but also billions of DNA strands were inside her, "…judging from the separate and new strands of DNA, she's holding all of them inside her body in each individual cell. She's saturated with it. I can only speculate that someone who had quite a bit of familiarity with your cousin, was able to successfully perform the procedures necessary without compromising her cellular structure." Shay turned to Clark with her hypothesis after looking at Kara's data.

Bruce turned to him as well hoping for an answer, "Is it possible someone in your family did this to her before you were both sent off world, here?" Clark had to think for a moment, though while he didn't know much of Krypton's policies concerning genetic experimentation, he was aware of some things such as the Worldkillers, Cloning, etc. But he wasn't sure who exactly could have done this. "I… I don't know. Maybe her father did this, but I can't imagine why he would experiment on Kara." Speak of the devil…

"Are those real whiskers, or are they body art?"

"They're birthmarks, I'll have you know!"

"Hah! They're so cute; can I pinch your cheek or rub them?"

"Absolutely not! My whiskers are off limits-tebayo! Ugh, dammit, not again!"

"Aww… come on, it's just a little touch."

"No!"

The adults turned around to see the teens with extra company falling in behind them. Naruto was clasping his cheeks while Kara wiggled her index finger near his face, amused by the reaction she got from him. Clark was glad that the two of them were already bonding, and it looked like he'd more than likely have two heroes in the making, "I see you both are getting along just fine." Both teens looked back to see the new addition in front of them in which they looked confused, "Uhm… who's she?" Naruto pointed out.

"This is Dr. Shay Veritas." Clark began the introductions, "She's a friend of mine that's helped me out on several occasions, and someone who can help you and Kara both with your abilities, like she helped out with my own for a time." Naruto gave a wave, "Yo, cool to meet ya." Though he wasn't sure how she got in here. But Kara seemed to take note, "You're here in hard-light form? Where are you exactly?"

"Unfortunately, I'm stuck in my lab due to a temporal space anomaly keeping my lab assitants and myself stuck near the Earth's Core. But I do have my ways of keeping in contact with my friends." Kara's eyes widened in the fact that someone else, a human a that spoke to her in native tongue, "You speak Kryptonian…?" She spoke in slight awe.

"I know a few languages outside Earth's own." Shay finished before transitioning back to English, "Although it's good to meet you, both of you." Shay turned back to Kara's data and explained to them a bit of what she found inside her body. The teen Kryptonian was a little shaken to say the least by the news of having her DNA altered and then billions of other people's DNA in her entire body. Clark brought her command key from the table and gave it to Kara since it belonged to her.

"Your command key should lead you to where your place of Solitude is in the world, like my own did." Batman brought forth a red sunstone encased within a clear hollowed out sunstone with the ends cut off in perfect symmetry, "This was inside the pod, but we haven't been able to separate the sunstone from the container. It might respond to your touch, however." Kelex translated.

Kara recognized the sunstone when she was back at the academy; everyone was taught about it, on its function and appearance, "The Historical Codex… but how…" Clark was just as shocked when Kara clarified what it was. The entire history of Krypton was inside that sunstone. Jor-El's recordings had told him much of the history of Krypton and his own work, but never did he tell him that Kara was given the whole of Krypton's history from the time of its civilization rising to its end.

"Your command key…" Clark pointed to said object, "…that will give the answers." He strode over to Kara as he explained things, "Just hold the key out, and it'll show you where to go." Going through what her cousin said, she held the command key with an open palm and waited for it to start. At first there was nothing, but it twitched ever so slightly, to most eyes there wasn't a shred of movement, to which the command key twitched some more to where it started to spin around. Much to Naruto's own wide eyes in disbelief, although…

He also remembered what Batman said; getting his wallet out he pulled out a $5 bill out and handed it to the black clad man while still watching the alien tech do a jig.

Bruce could only be curios but then he recalled what he said earlier and just tucked the bill away.

Kara's command key stopped spinning and settled on a direction, "It stopped… so what does that mean?" She looked to Clark for answers, "Now we find where your own piece of Krypton will be built. We should take the Historic Codex with us." Batman's wrist comm beeped for his attention with an incoming message from Alfred, "I'm needed back in Gotham. Let me know what happens back at the Hall." Clark knew that he meant the Watchtower as opposed to the Hall of Justice instead, but he didn't say it due to being a secret, even among their protégés.

Batman headed back to the atrium and took the Batwing out of the Fortress, while Naruto was engrossed with the alien tech, "So this thing has your whole planet's history?" Kara nodded as she explained it to him, while Clark turned back to Shay, "There is something else that I'm hoping you can help with if you've got the time."

"You know, Clark, there was a time when you at least brought flowers and try to take me out to dinner for my generosity…"

"And you know that I was just being the gentleman that my parents raised me to be."

Shay stifled a chuckled, "And you've learned to have an excuse at times." Clark knew that Shay was just pressing his buttons at times. Although he did admit before he and Lois ended up together he did have something for Shay, but they both decided to best remain friends.

"Either way…" Clark punched up some data for Shay to look over, "…Naruto right there, is just one of a few new people that could be on this Earth now." Shay raised a brow while she glanced back to the whiskered teen next to Kara, now holding the Historic Codex, "You mentioned 'this' Earth. Are you implying that he's from another?"

Clark shook his head to give her a brief explanation, "Not implying, but saying as a fact. He along with potentially five others came with him from an accident in a battle that flung them from their Earth, to our Earth. And I was hoping that maybe you could help track them down."

Well if Clark didn't have Shay's attention then, she certainly did now, "Oh, the multiverse, how you never cease to amaze me in your infinite possibilities. Send me what information and data you can on him…" gesturing to Naruto, "…and I'll see if I can build something to help you track them." Shay raised a finger before Clark left, "However, I do want to know when you and Lois will be tying the knot." That ever so teasing smirk made Clark blush slightly, "Well, there's… I'll get back to you on that." Clark quickly ended the hardlight transmission with Shay before she went any further, and sent her the data that they had collected when they first met Naruto.

Clark turned away from the computer to face Kara and Naruto, "Alright, Kara. Let's see just where your super-secret place to relax will be at."


-Sometime Later-

"He can run on water?!"

"It's just one of his abilities that he described, but to see it in action, well… another thing entirely."

Kara was given the overall basics of what she could do now, and her cousin had helped her block out all of the unnecessary noise and whatnot to help her keep her senses from skyrocketing and knocking her unconscious again.

'Just focus on my voice. Block everything else out. Make the world smaller, and keep it small.' The old words of Ma that she told Clark when his powers began manifesting in the middle of school.

Clark had given Kara a quick overview of flying for their bodies, to which she quickly grasped the hang of it, though she did have some trouble with staying in air for a bit or veering off course. While Naruto was quick to put those long-lasting water walking training sessions to good use. "I can't believe that I'm doing this on the ocean, hell I'm hoping a damn shark doesn't pop out of nowhere to try and eat me."

Naruto had to run while Clark and Kara flew, though while Clark did offer to help him out, he declined wanting to get a better hang on his speed and newfound limits. Trying to stop took a bit of extra strength to stop from skidding and losing his footing, while keeping his chakra applied to his feet.

"Just bopping them on the nose will scare them away." Clark gestured with his hand.

They stopped somewhere off the coast of Iceland, as Kara's command key was now spinning around in circles like crazy, "Kal, I think this is where it wanted us to go." Clark looked back to see that it acted just like his own years ago when he established the Fortress, "Your command key, drop it in the ocean, it'll act like a homing beacon and hit the seabed and begin building what your parents made for you."

At first Kara wasn't to sure on the idea. While they were out in the middle of nowhere and that was all fine and well; less eyes the better. But it was the fact that it was in the ocean as opposed to the icy tundra that her cousins had been placed in.

"Nothing ventures, nothing gained." The mantra she would sometimes chant outloud or in her head when something daunting or odd came her way. Dropping the command key, it corrected itself and dove down into the ocean floor, while Clark kept an eye on it, Kara looked back to Naruto who held the Historic Codex in his hand, while looking around for something as if it were a predator lurking about.

He was an odd person, almost happy-go-lucky in a sense from what little she could tell about him. When she first met him, and her x-ray vision kicked in, she saw a strange third circulatory system in his body that interweaved with literally every organ there was. Then as Clark helped her focus on her senses, he told her to focus one on thing at a time, and to block everything else out. But she focused on Naruto's heartbeat, and it was…soothing to hear, a comfort of sorts. She would ask him later when she could speak the language properly about what made him so different than Batman, as she didn't see anything out of the ordinary about him at all, compared to the younger man.

"Kara, it's done forming." Clark's voice brought her attention back to real time and looked down. "I don't see any—" Suddenly, her command key shot back up out of the water and hovered right in front of her to grasp and take back, "What now?"

Clark took something out from his belt and tossed it to Naruto who took it quickly, "Now, we head down there and see just what all you were given, and what message your parents had for you." He looked towards Naruto, "Take that rebreather and place it on your mouth, you can handle the pressure, but you won't be able to breath for long."

Naruto looked at it for a second before quickly figuring it out, "So this goes… Oh! Ok then, got it." Giving a thumbs up, the rebreather fit onto the lower half of his face.

Clark looked to both teens for confirmation, "Ready?"

"Ready/Ready." They replied in unison.

Clark dove into the water first followed by Kara, and Naruto as he stopped channeling chakra to his feet. Kara took his arm with one of her own while she held the command key in the other. Clark stayed in the front to guide them down, until they reached the bottom as multiple fish of varying species got out of the way.

If there was one thing that Naruto could draw from this experience, it was that his life just got a lot more interesting. As they kept going deeper, and deeper, the water got darker, with only limited light from the bioluminescence of fish and other things in the ocean, but a light began to shine, or rather radiate from Kara, which left Naruto just gaping at her "Wow…", as she herself could only look at herself. Clark had to stop to look as well but could only guess that this was one of the gene grafts that was implemented into Kara's DNA.

Kara glanced to the boys for a brief moment before she turned back to Clark to nod for them to keep going.

They continued on until a light began to show below them. As the ventured closer, the light began to grow more so, and almost shine like the Fortress above in the arctic; they came to the seabed and could only be amazed at the sight. A small doorway surrounded by crystals like the Fortress, as the doorway almost seemed like a cloudy mirror of sorts that looked like it was in constant change.

The trio looked to one another and ventured inside, as the sensation of touching fresh air and the wet feeling they got from the ocean disappeared all of a sudden. Naruto having his mouth in action as usual was just astonished, "Holy crap! That little thing made this in almost no time a tall!" Clark having first-hand experience with this subject could only nod, "My own command key led me to the tundra up north and it built my Fortress similarly, though given that one place took up an isolated part of the world, it only makes sense for another to choose the ocean floor."

Kara looked at the architecture and felt almost at home, like she never left and was back at her house. "This place… it's so… so… quiet!" Kara closed her eyes as she breathed in the air that had been established for her. A pedestal rose up from the floor meant for a command key, "For me I guess." Kara took her command key and held it over for her to slid it as the key slid into the pedestal with the AI voice speaking, "Welcome, Kara Zor-El and guests." The atrium they were had its lights down low before, but now they peaked up to high setting if one were to guess. The air seemed to change ever so slightly as Naruto took his rebreather off to take in a breath of fresh air, "Huh, guess it changed things up with me in here."

Clark saw that the overall looked was similar to his own Fortress, "If the design of this place is similar to my own then—"

"Wait, what was that?" Kara interrupted. Clark looked to her for some clarification, "What was what?"

"I could have sworn there was a woman walking down that way." Kara followed down said hallway to where the woman was while Naruto could only shrug, "I got a feeling I'm gonna be doing this for a good while."

They followed Kara down to where she stopped in front of a series of liquid geo monitors and holographic interfaces with monitors of the place, and saw that some pedestals behind them had sunstones within them, "Uhm, what's this?"

"It's a crystal font…" Clark cleared up for him while Kara could only try to figure out the method of working it, "…it's mostly used as a Kryptonian database, but it also maintains control over Kryptonian buildings, though this one was meant for Kara." Naruto looked down to the Historic Codex he still hung onto with a thought.

He nudged Kara to grab her attention and gave her the Codex. Taking it from the ninja, she looked to the font to see that there was an empty slot meant for a sunstone and placed it inside. Suddenly the monitors and interfaces all shifted to that of the planet Krypton with what one would assume trillions of lines of data surged through the systems.

Naruto turned around as he felt that someone was watching them, well he wasn't wrong. "Who the hell are you?" She definitely looked like an older version of Kara to him. Clark and Kara turned around to see the woman that was behind them. Clark was surprised at first, but it quickly settled down as he knew what it was. Kara on the other hand, for her, it was something she needed to know if what she was seeing was real.

Carefully pushing her way towards the woman to which she shakily reached out to touch her. She felt real, but she could tell what a hardlight construct felt like. The woman spoke before Kara could, "To see you standing here standing here in this, Sanctuary safe from harm, brings comfort to me."

"M-Mother…?"

Now Naruto knew who she was, "Wait so, she's Kara's mom…?" Guess he knew where she got her looks from in that part of her. Clark nodded, "Yes, he name's Alura In-Ze." A service android floated into the room next to 'Alura', "Hello, Lady Kara." The different feminine voice spoke through its vibrating liquid geo 'face', "Keru. You're here too, but…"

Kara shed silent tears as she never thought she would ever look upon her mother's face again, "…but if you're a hardlight program from this place, then that means…" The Alura construct clasped her hands in comfort, "I am sorry, my sweet little Karanizu. But after all these years, it is most likely that I along with your father and those of Argo City have passed on."

Those last words had an affect on both Kara and Clark, though Naruto was confused, "Ok, wait what did she mean by that…?" The silence was deafening, "Guys?"

'Alura' looked to the three of them, "I will explain as best that I can, and fill in the gaps that Jor-El was unable to do so, Kal." Alura motioned with her hands as liquid geo monitors shifted around the room, as holographic interfaces changed to meld with them.

"Kara and Kal know much of our history, but you will need to understand our history to know of the events that took place within our people's final hours." 'Alura' spoke to Naruto.

Kara and Clark stayed silent she went over the history of Krypton to Naruto. On their civilization's history with expanding to the stars, how scout ships were sent into the void to search for colonizable planets, world engines capable of changing planets to suit their environmental needs, etc. It was until the final days of what truly happened to their family.

Jor-El had tried to warn other that their planet was going to die, only for people to wave him off, while his brother, Kara's father, tried to back his findings up, but no one listened to him either. It was until the last hour that they stole the Historic and Genetic Codex's from their places and placed them in Kara's pod. Zor not only had augmented Kara's own natural abilities with his work on previous genetic works, but also…

"I… I have the Genetic Codex… inside me…?" Kara could only stare at 'Alura' in shock & disbelief. Clark could only wonder as to the reason, "But, aunt Alura. Why do that to Kara? Why place so much on her shoulders? Why didn't you give me on of the Codex, I could've taken some of that burden away from, Kara."

Naruto felt it best to stay out of the conversation for now. No telling what would be said, but given how quiet Kara was being, he was sure that there would be an outburst somewhere.

'Alura' looked back to Clark, or 'Kal' as she called him, "This was not something that we anticipated when we made the preparations to send you and Kara to safety on Earth. Her father wanted to make her strong. Strong to the point where no one could hurt her ever again. That's why he made careful sequence insertions to her DNA to grant her new gifts to help should she ever come to harm." On one hand Clark could somewhat understand where they were coming from. Parents would do anything and everything to protect their families, and their children even more so. He wasn't so sure if he could take such drastic steps to protect his future child. 'Did Pa ever feel this way?' Clark thought to himself.

Naruto on the other hand, "I think I understand where you're coming from. I mean… my own dad did something similar to me when he and my mom died, the night I was born, so… I guess what I'm trying to say, is that…" Taking a breath to try and simplify things, "Parents always care about their kids, and they'll worry a lot when they're gone. They do what they can to try and make their kids safe and sound when they're alone. So… yeah I guess that's about what I'm trying to say." Clark could tell while the subject of parents helping their child through whatever means necessary, Naruto wasn't too sure what to make of it, but he also accepted it. He wasn't so sure that the world he came from was a very good one if kids like Naruto were forced to grow up so quickly and miss so much of their childhood.

Kara walked back over to the crystal font and leaned on it, as she digested all of the information. She shook her head as something appeared to be missing, "But mother, if you had given me the Codex's, and the Historic is now in the crystal font here…" Turning back to face her 'mother', "…then where is the Genetic Codex?" She had seen what it looked like before back during class in the academy, and she would've seen it if it was sent with her.

'Alura' shifted the liquid geo monitors into the form of Kara's body as she explained, "The Genetic Codex was a fragile object, and we could not be certain that it would make the journey to Earth. We believed that it would be best to place it in the safest place we could think of: you." Kara's breathe hitched as she saw the monitors focus on her cells, "We broke it down, the DNA strands of a billion people, and we bonded it to your cells. Krypton's future, living inside you."

Kara looked down as he bangs covered her face, "So… was that it? Was that all you did to me?"

Clark tried to place his hand on her shoulder, "Kara…" But she backed away, "Was I ever your daughter when you did this to me? Or was I a brood mare for our people's future?!" Kara shouted right at 'Alura' whom despite being an echo of who she was, Naruto could tell that she was genuinely hurt by Kara's words.

Naruto decided that maybe it was best to step in at this point, He looked to the service android and asked, "Can you translate for me?"

"Of course."

He turned his head back to Kara to try and help out a bit, "Look, Kara. I get what you're feeling right now." Kara turned to the ninja slightly angered at him. He was the first friend she made here on Earth, so she couldn't be completely pissed off at him, "How? How can you understand what I'm feeling like right now?! To carry something this big, that you never asked for!" Naruto felt it best to shift over to try and do this just as she was.

"I understand a lot more than you think, Kara! For years, I dealt with something that I didn't want or ask for. It took so many years away from me, it took my family from me, it made me a loser, or a monster in some people's eyes!"

Naruto felt that sometimes it was better to yell at someone that could be just as hotheaded as he was, which seemed to work on Kara as she stepped back, with a confused and apologetic expression. He put his hands on his hips to think over what he'd say next, "I… I never knew my parents. I was treated like a freak, a loser, a monster, or something else not even human. But… I learned later on that, I couldn't let that drag me down." Clark looked on as Naruto's maturity rose up once more, while Kara stayed silent while she listened to him, "I just decided to stop crying about it, and start laughing about. So, I just ignored it all, and kept moving forward. Eventually I managed to start getting people's respect, and they started payin' attention to me. That stopped making fun of me and cheered me on when I put myself out on the line for 'em. And you know? I turned it all around. I made it into a good thing and I managed make it work with me, which I'll tell you about that later…" Naruto wasn't about to start telling people he was host to a giant fox that could wipe the floor with 'em as far as he knew.

"…but you can make this thing into something cool, something that you can deal with and use." Naruto stepped up to Kara and brought her into a hug, "I can help you. Your cousin can help you. We hold our hands out, we show you the way you can go. But you..." Pointing to her, "… you're the one that has to figure things out if you're gonna go that path. But just to let you know, I'm not letting you go down I the dumps. We're friends from now on and so Kami help me, I'm gonna make damn sure you're a happy girl-tebayo!" Naruto stepped back to give the girl some space. All the while ignoring his verbal tic. It'd be bad if he interrupted such a moment.

Kara's mind was racing with everything laid bare before her. Krypton was gone. Her family sent her and Kal to live and try to give their people a future. She held the past, present and future in her hands and body. But now Kal was an adult and all grown up without her. She missed much of his life and now things were reversed. Naruto, the first human that showed her kindness, sympathy and understanding basically said to her face that he was her friend and he wasn't abandoning her. Kal was going to be there for her, and now she had power. Power, strength and people to help her to build a new life here on Earth. She couldn't do anything to save Krypton, but damned if she was going to let her new home Earth die.

Kara looked to Clark and Naruto, "Thank you. I… I wasn't sure or even know how to deal with all of this, but… thank you." Turning back to 'Alura', she continued, "And mother. Even though what you, father and uncle Jor-El did was… unexpected…" She didn't want to say 'wrong', "But, thank you, for giving me a new chance to build a life for myself. Now…" Turnign to the holographic screens and liquid geo monitors, she looked to see some of what was going on in Earth, "…now I can make a difference, I can do something for Earth. My new home."

Clark couldn't help but smile at what Kara said, "If you want to Kara, I can help show you the ropes of what it means to be a symbol to the people of Earth, to make a difference." Naruto quickly brought her into a one-armed hug which made her blush a bit, "Hey, we're gonna be partners with your cous! Isn't that awesome!"

'Alura' could only smile with the programming of the mental imprint given to her of the real Alura. What emotion she could emulate would, happiness. She walked over to Kara and spoke, "This was also another reason why we sent you and Kal to Earth. You remember all of the stories I told you about Humanity? They can be a great people, but they need someone to help show them the way." 'Alura' placed a hand on the 'S' symbol on Kara's outfit, "The symbol of our house is Hope. You can bring that to the people of Earth; an ideal to strive for. Show them that they can be better than what they are, and to help build a better world than what became of ours."

Kara felt a sense of pride, but also a daunting feeling of being overwhelmed by such a thing, but she remembered that Kal and Naruto would be with her every step of the way. She looked to Kal and wondered what humanity came to call him, "Kal, when you wear that outfit, and help people, what do they call you?"

Clark rubbed the back of his head in a slight bit of embarrassment at the name that Lois tagged him with ever since the first day he started out with saving the plane that she was on, "On Earth, they call me Superman."

"Well than I guess, the world now has a Supergirl." Kara spoke confidently. She glanced at Naruto wondering about his name, "What name do you go by?" He rubbed the back of his head in thought, "Well~ I don't really have a name yet… I'm still thinking on it."

"I think you've got one already."

"Wait, really?"

"Yup."

"What is it?"

"Super Whiskers."

Clark could only laugh a little at the name Kara tagged Naruto with, while he just deadpanned at her, "Really? No, I am so not going with that. That's a stupid name." Kara snickered at his reaction, "Why not? It fits you so well. I mean you're with Kal who goes by Superman. I'll be going by Supergirl, and we'll be working alongside each other, so it makes sense since you have some 'Super' in your name too, and those whiskers stand out a lot."

Kara decided to try and rub Naruto's whiskers while she kept her arm around his shoulder to hold him in place, meanwhile Clark got a comm ping from Shay. Turning away to answer it he responded, "Shay, I wasn't expecting a call from you so soon."

"You know how fast I work, Clark. Either way, since you're off Iceland's coast with Kara and little ninja whiskers there." Guess the nickname was becoming infectious in Clark's mind, "I was able to locate two additional similar energy signatures. One over in the Mediterranean near Greece to, while the other is in the Himalayas. And in places I'm quite sure you're familiar with as one of them is the home to a member of your little League."

"Thank you, Shay. I owe one for this."

"Think nothing of it, but a bit of warning. You mentioned that there were five others, but I was only able to locate two of them. So, wherever the other three are at, and can hide from me. They've managed to find someone to help them. Be careful, Clark."

Clark now had a bad feeling in his stomach at that, a chill seemed to work up his spin. If Obito and the plant people found a way to avoid Shay's instruments, then only someone of equal or greater intelligence could hide them. And he had a feeling who one of them could be but didn't want to say it out loud… "Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to brief Batman."

He turned back to the teens with Kara trying to rub Naruto's cheek, while he was struggling to keep out of her range, "Naruto, Kara." Grabbing their attention, "How would you both like a trip to a homeland of a good friend of mine?"


-NEXT - REUNITED PART 2: FRIENDS IN THEMYSCRIA-


And done. So, now we have introduced Shay Veritas into the story from the New 52 comics. She has helped the Supers out on several occasions, such as with dealing with H'el, Doomsday, helping Kara with her Kryptonite poisoning, etc. She'll be a bit more prominent later in future arcs.

Kara has just learned that she was given this huge responsibility of carrying on the legacy of Krypton, which she isn't too big on, and she now has her own Sanctuary of Solitude, though it won't be stupid and turn on her like it did when Power Girl came into the picture. Now remember this iteration of Kara is a combination of her New 52/Post-Flashpoint and Injustice 2 selves, so she'll be a little different than what you may think.

So, next chapter we'll see Wonder Woman, Hippolyta, Artemis, a younger Amazon from the comics that never made it into the show, although the series producers have stated she was in the universe but never seen, which I personally found odd.

Now I do plan to also do some world building for this story, so some things that were in the comics will be altered a bit to fit the Young Justice universe, including other alternate Earths seen in the different eras of DC's publishing time.

One of which will be some short segments like the one below. Either way, continue to read, review, favorite and follow this story as well as the others on my profile, and please tell me what you guys think about the chapters, what you liked, disliked, etc. If you're going to flame or trash on the story, then you will ultimately be ignored.

Anyways, so now please enjoy this short segment:


-Visitors from Earth 2 – Part 1: Stranded-

For an instance, they were traveling through a tunnel of light. The next thing they knew, they were shot out over open water near a beach. Robin quickly dove down to the water while her two friends were unconscious thanks to the affect that the Boom Tube had on them.

"Kara, Donna!"

Robin had to struggle with both girls in her arms to try and get them to shore, as thoughts raced through her head, "Come on Helena, you can do this. Remember what daddy taught you: Breathe… Assess… Investigate." Robin brought both her friends to shore and looked around for anything of use. Something that could tell her about where they were.

A beach side shack, "Ok, let's see what you've got for me."

Helena glanced back to her friends to check out their condition. Both of whom were better suited for taking dives like they just died. Kara Zor-El and Donna of Amazon Island. Both of whom after witnessing the deaths of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman at the hands of Steppenwolf and his armies, were all but left of their race. Kara still in her Supergirl outfit, while Donna was in the armor of her sisters and mother, Diana in their honor after she learned the truth of what her father really was after, and his motivations.

Helena Wayne was the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. Batman and Catwoman, respectively. She was Robin, the Girl Wonder, and partner in justice to her parents. Now though she guessed that she'd more than likely be the one to take up the next 'Bat' in her father's honor.

She broke into the shack and grabbed whatever clothes they could use and slipped out of her Robin outfit and continued looking around for any info, until she came across a newspaper with the big front-page title on it.

A short while later, Kara woke up groggily before her memory came back, "Where is he—did we get him—oh…" Kara noticed that Donna was still out, but Helena covered them up with beach towels to keep them warm, while she had a fire going. Helena had a feeling that Kara wanted to know where they were at, "—something blew Dad's fail-safe bomb, some Apokolips trap, something… I've been licking my wounds while you and Donna lay down."

Kara recalled the last moments she saw of what happened in the final battle, clenching her head and closing her eyes, she tried to forget what just occurred, "Then it wasn't just a nightmare. They're really dead… the world lost Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman…"

"Our world did…" Helena reached into the bag that she used to grab what she needed and pulled a newspaper out with a picture of Superman, but there was something off about the way he looked, "And I think we lost our world—look." Kara could only stare at the photograph of Superman, but not her Superman… not her Clark, Kal, cousin, adopted dad… not hers… The front-page title told her a lot along with the picture –

"Man of Steel stops Intergang terrorist plan for Metropolis, by Lois Lane… T-That's not Kal—H-He's so young." She shakily replied.

Helena nodded, "And not only that…" Pulling out a special booklet titled, 'Heroes of Our Time', and brought up to pages with very different, and very young Batman and Wonder Woman, "…this world still has it's heroes, and a lot more than ours ever did."


Hope you guys liked that, because more will be coming in future chapters :)
