I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

My name is Kara Zor-El. 24 years ago, my planet, Krypton was in serious peril. My cousin, Kal-El was sent to a planet called Earth for his own safety and protection. You may know his story, but the story you don't know is that I was sent to protect him. Things didn't exactly go according to my mother's plan. Krypton's destruction sent a shockwave that knocked my pod off course and into the Phantom Zone. A region in space where time doesn't pass. I slept there for 24 years until somehow, I got here. When I arrived, I was still a 13-year-old girl, but in that same time my cousin, Kal-El had grown up and revealed himself to your world, as Superman. The most powerful man in the Universe. My cousin wanted me to have the same safe, human-type childhood he did, so he placed me with my adoptive family, the Danvers, scientists who helped him understand his own super-abilities. They had a daughter, Alex, and despite being born on different planets, we both shared one thing. We knew our lives would never be the same again. My cousin, he didn't need my protection, I didn't have a mission anymore, but even though I had all the same powers that he did, I decided the best thing I could do was to fit in. After all, Earth didn't need another hero.

Kara Zor-El was in a rush. She was brushing her teeth, putting her sweater on and had a brush in her hair. She spat the toothpaste into her sink and washed the toothbrush off, pulled her sweater on properly and brushed and curled her hair as quickly as she could. She put her shoes on, grabbed her bag and yelled goodbye to her mother before running out of the door. Kara was an intern at CatCo Worldwide Media and had to be there at 6:30 each morning with latte a for Ms Grant. She rushed to Noonan's and ordered Ms Grant's coffee. She paid for the coffee and ran to the office building, stepping out of the elevator mere seconds before Ms Grant stepped out of hers.

"Good morning, Ms Grant," Kara said, looking slightly frazzled,

"The only reason I bought this building was because it had a private elevator, that way I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning, get into my office, find out who used it and have them reprimanded or bathed, I don't care which," Ms Grant complained,

"Here's your latte, Ms Grant," Kara said, handing Ms Grant her latte, "hot," she added,

"Huh, that'll be new and different," she muttered, "I have a meeting with the board today at lunch, so cancel sushi with my mother. Oh, and cancel my therapist, I won't be needing it if I'm not having lunch my with mother," she took a sip of her coffee, dropping it in the bin and scowling at the taste,

"Got it," Kara replied, writing everything down,

"Also, I've emailed a list, prepare termination letters for the tribune employees as noted, I realise that there are quite a few, but it would be so nice if you hand wrote them, use the lesser card stock," Ms Grant continued,

"You're downsizing the tribune?" asked Kara, horrified, "but that was your first acquisition!"

"Go see if the new art director has the layout ready," Ms Grant replied, ignoring Kara's horrified look, "It's not that I don't see your frown, I just don't care enough to ask why it's there," Kara took a deep breath before speaking,

"All those people…they're going to lose their jobs. What's going to happen to them? Their families? They don't have to downsize at the Daily Planet," she said

"Metropolis has a person that wears a cape, and flies around performing heroic acts. The planet puts this superlative man on their cover 54% of the time. You want to save the tribune, go find me a hero, Keira," she replied. Kara breathed in, trying not to burst out at Ms Grant at the unfairness of the situation. She decided to go see if the art director had the layouts, so she walked over to the Art Director's office.

"Hello?" she asked, walking in. She immediately noticed an array of assorted camera bodies and lenses.

"I'll be just a minute," a voice replied from out of sight,

"Um…" she started, clearing her throat nervously, "Ms Grant sent me for layouts and she doesn't like to wait," she walked around a corner and saw a bald, dark skinned man unpacking boxes.

"She can wait a minute," the man said,

"Have you met Ms Grant?" she asked, laughing nervously,

"Yeah, and what's she gonna do? Fire me right after hiring me?" he asked, not taking his eyes off his boxes, "Her loss," He looked up and saw Kara standing there. "Hey, I'm the new guy," Kara was dumbstruck at the handsome man standing in front of her, and she stood frozen for a few seconds before finally speaking.

"Oh…wow! It's him!" she exclaimed, walking over a photo of Superman she saw in one the boxes, "I've seen this picture before like a million times. It won an award!"

"Yeah, only because it was the first real shot of him," the man said, "Little secret, he actually posed for that. Guess he liked me," Kara spun around quickly,

"Oh…my God. You're Jimmy Olsen! The photographer from the daily planet," she exclaimed.

"James Olsen, actually. Jimmy is reserved for my mom and the big guy, he's kind of stuck in his ways,"

"Well, I know what I've read but…what's he like in real life?" Kara asked James,

"He is…everything you want him to be and more. I mean, I was scared to move out here, but he told me the biggest risk is never taking any," he told her, "Take it," he said, referring to the photo of Superman.

"Huh?" she asked,

"Take it," he repeated,

"T-This? Oh God no, I can't," she stuttered,

"It's just a print. Please, take it," he offered, "But first…you have to tell me who you are,"

"Oh…uh, right-I'm Kara. Kara Danvers," she told him,

"Huh, right well, Kara. Did anyone ever tell you that you look a little like him,"

"Uh…no, no. You're the first. Thank you…very much for the photo," she thanked him, turning to leave James' office, still slightly thrown off with how attractive he was.

"Uh…Kara," he said, causing her to turn around, "Layouts,"

"Oh…right," she laughed nervously, "Almost forgot. Thank you," she turned and walked out of James' office. She went back to her desk and quickly began completing the tasks Ms Grant asked of her. After about 45 minutes, Kara had written out termination letters for the tribune employees, cancelled Ms Grant's lunch with her mother and cancelled Ms Grant's therapist. She picked up her bag and walked into Ms Grant's office.

"I finished everything you asked of me, Ms Grant. Can I get going to school now?" she asked, realising she wouldn't have much time to get to school before it started.

"Yes, go ahead Keira, run along to school," Ms Grant replied, not taking her eyes off her laptop,

"Thank you!" Kara replied, already halfway out of the office. She ran to the elevator, impatiently tapping her foot on the way down, getting annoyed glares from the other people in the elevator. She ran out of the elevator, needing to get to school in less than five minutes.

Deciding what she was going to do she sprinted into an alleyway, free from the eyes of the public. She looked around a few times, making sure there were no onlookers. She tightened the straps on her bag and got into a running stance. She breathed in and looked around once more before sliding her right foot back a little and she began running…at 224 mph. She ran all the way to an alley not too far from the school in under 10 seconds. She readjusted her clothes and glasses and loosened her bag straps. She calmly walked out of the alley and into the school gates, and just seconds later the bell rang, and she made her way to the classroom. Her heart was thumping from the thrill of having used her powers again. She hadn't run like that for years and she felt good. The feeling of the wind rushing past her face

However, what she didn't know was that she had been seen. Not by any ordinary person, but by someone else. Batman had been perched on top of a building of a city that was not like his own. This city was light and wasn't constantly plagued by darkness. He wasn't here to protect people, though, he was here to scout. Scout for candidates to be a part of his program to help this country, and with the revelation that there was more than one person in this city that he could recruit, things with looking up for him and he was going to need to speak with Superman again. After watching the mystery girl speed off in a rush of wind, he turned from his vantage point on the top of a building overlooking the alleyway and ran off towards the Batmobile.

The day had gone smoothly for Kara, her classes were mildly interesting, except for maths where the only interesting aspect of it was when she had met a cute boy called Barry Allen. She was quite surprised when Barry had beaten her in the obstacle course that the class that participated in during their PE session. The thing that had her most suspicious of Barry was that she could have sworn she saw a tiny little bolt of lightning form on his body and then disappear. Nobody else could have seen it, it had lasted less than half a second and even Kara had not been sure it was really there. However, she put the issue from her mind for the rest of the day. She had found out that James Olsen actually went to school with her, the same class in fact. The only reason he had been allowed to work at CatCo was because Ms Grant couldn't afford to have another media company to hire the James Olsen.

At the end of the day she walked back home where she and Alex picked out an outfit for her date later that night. After picking out her outfit and laying it on her bed, Kara, Alex and Eliza all left to the airport where Alex would be leaving to head off to college in Geneva because Alex was part of an exchange program with a Swiss college. They went to the terminal and said goodbye to Alex, who boarded Flight 237 to Geneva. Kara and Eliza went home, and Kara got dressed for her date. She left at 8:00 and met the guy at a bar in the middle of the city.

"So, where you from originally?" asked Scott, Kara's date,

"Like, where was I born?" she asked, "Um…uh-north," Suddenly, Scott's phone began to vibrate, and he picked it up, laughing at the text he got,

"I gotta hit this back real quick," he said, standing up and walking towards the exit of the bar. Kara turned her head slightly and focused her hearing on Scott,

"Check, please!" he called to one of the waitresses, "Make sure your number's on it," he looked back at Kara one last time before paying and walking out of the bar. Kara sighed gloomily. To be honest, she hadn't really liked Scott, but it was sad that the date had been a complete failure. Kara turned her head around and watched the news for a moment before her heart skipped a beat,

"National Airlines flight 237 bound for Geneva, is experiencing a loss of altitude. The pilot seems to be circling the city after apparent engine failure-"

"Did he say Geneva?" Kara yelled. Quickly, she got up and ran out of the bar, looking up into the sky, immediately spotting the aircraft flying through the air, one of the engines on fire. She took her glasses off and activated her X-Ray vision, looking through a building and into the fuselage of the aircraft. She quickly spotted Alex, who was trying to calm down the passenger next to her. Kara's eyes widened as she turned and ran down the street and into an alleyway, not thinking about what she was going to do. She had only one thought: she had to save Alex. She sprinted down the alley, throwing her jacket to the side as she went. She leapt up once, attempting to get into the air where she floated forwards for a few seconds before dropping back down to the ground. Undeterred, she jumped up again with all her strength and she began to fly through the air.

Now that she was airborne, she turned around and flew towards the damaged aircraft, weaving between buildings. Once she was directly behind the plane, she sped up as fast as she could, zooming behind the plane, determined to grab hold of it. Without warning, another engine exploded, and Kara nearly fell back down to earth. She quickly stabilised her flight and streaked towards the plane with renewed vigour. One of the faulty engines suddenly became loose and it flew directly at Kara, who crossed her arms in front of her face and braced for impact. Upon contact with her body, the engine disintegrated, already greatly weakened from the fire that was ravaging its outer shell. Kara sped up and grabbed onto the trailing edge of the starboard wing and Kara looked up at the window of the plane and saw Alex gaping at her. Kara attempted to level out the plane, but her attempts were fruitless. She let go of the wing and drifted sideways and pressed herself up against the bottom of the plane, but closer to the nose than to the tail. She pushed upwards with all her might and the plane slowly levelled out. Kara looked forward and, to her dismay noticed a bridge up ahead.

"Oh, come on!" she yelled over the wind roaring in her ears.

Barry was lying on the couch in the West household living room, beer in one hand and the other clutching the TV remote. Since there was no one else in the room, Barry was flicking through the channels at superspeed, not particularly interested in any of the shows currently being broadcast. He decided to just watch the news, flicking to channel 52 where they were showing footage of an airplane with engine trouble circling low of the city. The plane had levelled out but was flying directly at a bridge with hundreds of people either driving or walking across it's surface. Barry blanched, thinking about what would happen to the people on the bridge if they were on it when the plane crashed into it.

Without thinking, Barry grabbed his phone and dialled Cisco's number, pressing the phone to his ear. There were three beeps before Cisco picked up the phone.

"Cisco, are you watching the news right now?" Barry asked, his voice concerned,

"Yeah, that plane's gonna hit the bridge in under two minutes unless the flying lady on it does something," Cisco replied,

"Flying girl?" asked Barry, not sure what he was talking about,

"Look at the bottom of the plane, there's a lady flying under the plane, levelling it out," he explained. Barry squinted at the TV for a second before his eyes widened.

"Oh yeah, you're right!" Barry replied, "But what's going to happen to the people on the bridge?"

"Barry, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cisco asked, a touch of excitement in his voice,

"If you're thinking those people need to get off that bridge soon or they're going to get hurt and the only person who can get them all off in time is me, then yeah. Are you at STAR Labs right now?" Barry asked,

"Yep," Cisco replied, "Now get your ass over here and get the suit on," Barry hung up without another word, and sped out of the West house and towards STAR Labs. He ran into the facility and put the suit on, only stopping to talk to Cisco,

"Are you ready?" Cisco asked him, "You haven't done much heroing before,"

"I'm ready, Cisco, and besides, those people need the Flash," he replied. Cisco gave him a quick grin before gesturing towards the door,

"Well get going," he said. Barry returned the grin and sprinted out of STAR Labs and towards the city at 500mph. As he reached the bridge, Flash stopped for a moment and looked at the plane hurtling towards the bridge. Flash estimated he had only about 30 seconds to get everyone off the bridge and out of harm's way. Barry quickly started running again, grabbing the first person he saw and running them off the bridge. 10 seconds later, Barry had moved 57 people to safety and was doing his 58th before he heard Cisco's voice coming from his earpiece.

"You're not going to be able to get them all out of there by grabbing them one by one!" he exclaimed,

"I'm not strong enough to carry more than one, though!" he yelled back. There was a moment of silence before Cisco replied,

"At the speed you're going, you could easily carry two people at once because of your momentum which makes their weight irrelevant," he yelled back. Without waiting another second, Barry began running again, grabbing a person in each arm. He was surprised to see that Cisco was right; he barely felt that anyone was there. Barry decided to put on another burst of speed and grabbed more and more people, rushing them to safety.

"10 seconds to impact!" Cisco yelled, "There are still 12 people on the bridge!". Barry, yet again, put on a burst of speed and managed to get the remaining people off the bridge just as the woman underneath the plane turned the plane onto its side.

As the plane approached the bridge, Kara dug her hands into the bottom of the plane, making hand holds for herself so she could have a better grip on the plane. She looked at the bridge where a red streak of lightning was zipping around, taking people to safety, which Kara was thankful for. Using all her strength, Kara rotated the entire plane so that one wing was facing the water and the other was facing the sky. She pulled the upwards a little more and the plane passed through the centre of bridge, the wing scraping the road a little, causing sparks to dance on the surface of the bridge. When the plane had fully made it through the bridge, Kara reangled it so that it was in it's regular flying position and brought the plane down into the water relatively softly.

Kara climbed out of the water and onto the wing on the plane, standing proudly. She felt several different things, the most prominent of which was excited. She had just saved a plane full of people from crashing. She felt very exited about what would happen next. Would she become a superhero like her cousin? The other thing she felt though, was cold. And wet. She was freezing cold, the river water dripping off her body. She looked at Alex through the plane window and saw that Alex had the smallest of smiles on her face. Kara smiled back and then looked up at the sky. She bent her knees and jumped up into the air, flying off into the distance.

Flash watched as the mystery lady dressed in black clambered up onto the side of the wing and after a minute, flew off into the distance. Immediately, Flash began to run after her so that he might be able to ask her some questions. He ran along the river bank, following her flight path into the city. As she flew close to buildings, Barry ran up the side of one, onto the roof. He jumped from building to building until he got in front of the flying woman. He stopped a few buildings ahead of her and began to gesture with his hands, attempting to catch the lady's attention. When she didn't notice him, he ran forward again, getting significantly ahead of her. He stopped on top of a building and moved his hands around at superspeed, causing lightning to dance atop his hands and arms. She looked down at him, the red lightning a stark contrast to the black tops of buildings. She flew down onto the building where a man in a red suit was standing. She landed a few feet away from him, slightly wary of the stranger. She tried to see if she recognised him by looking at his face, but it was vibrating, almost like it was constantly shifting. A moment later, she realised who it was.

"You're the Streak!" she exclaimed. She couldn't see the man's face properly, but she could almost see the man grimace.

"Don't call me that," he said in a disguised voice, "It's a bad name. I'm the Flash," She smirked at him.

"The Flash, huh? It sounds like your only superpower is jumping out of dark alleys dressed in only a trench coat," she said. The Flash snorted,

"Not like that!" he defended, "As in like, I'm gone in a flash of lightning,"

"Riiiiight," she replied, smirking.

"Right…well, uh. Who are you?" he asked. She paused for a moment before replying,

"Someone who wants to help the people of this city. You can consider me a friend, Flash," she replied,

"Will I be seeing more of you?" he asked her,

"Maybe,"

"Huh, okay then. Well, if you want to, come down to STAR Labs some time, and we can talk some more," he suggested,

"I'll think about it," she replied, flashing him a smile, "Do you think we could work together?"

"Get yourself a code name and a suit and I'll consider it," he replied, "Actually, don't get a name, Cisco would kill me if I invited a superhero with a name to STAR Labs," the idea of having an ally or a sidekick was interesting. It would be fun to have someone else out there with him.

"Consider it done," she replied, excited at the prospect of possibly saving lives and fighting crime with the Flash, "I'll see you around then, Flash," She hopped off the ground and hovered in mid-air for a moment before winking and flying off.

"That was interesting," Flash muttered to himself, processing the events of the past couple of minutes through his head.

"Crap!" he yelled, Joe was probably wondering where he was, unless he saw him on the TV. Without another thought, he rushed off towards his house, the wind whipping his face and lightning crackling on his skin.

Bruce Wayne sat in his mansion living room, watching the news which was currently detailing an event in Starling City involving a plane, a flying girl and a blur of lightning saving the day. He smiled to himself, Starling City had a hell of a lot of superpowered people in it. These individuals would certainly be suitable candidates for his group.

"Alfred!" called Bruce Wayne, over his shoulder.

"Yes, Mr Wayne?" asked an old man, who had strolled into the room,

"Could you get Clark Kent on the phone, please?" he asked,

"Of course, sir, but what would Batman want with Superman at this hour?" Alfred asked,

"He and I have much to discuss," Bruce replied. Without another word, Alfred had strolled from the room and returned a moment later, dialling in a number.

"Here you are, sir," Alfred said, handing Bruce the phone, which had already been picked up on the other end.

"Bruce! How are you?" asked Clark Kent, wondering what Bruce wanted to talk to him about,

"I'm fine, Clark, but meet me at the Batcave in half an hour. We have something to discuss," Bruce replied,

"Sure, I'll be there soon," Clark said,

"Thanks, Clark. I'll see you soon," Bruce replied with a smirk. Bruce took the phone away from his ear and hung up.

"I'm heading to the Batcave!" Bruce called to Alfred, "Don't expect me back anytime soon,"

"Enjoy yourself, Mr Wayne," Alfred replied, watching as Bruce walked out the front door, getting in his car and driving off.

Almost half an hour later, Bruce arrived at the Batcave. Stepping out of his car, Bruce walked over to his computer and brought up three different photos, just as he heard a gust of wind and a voice address him.

"You wanted to speak in person?" asked Superman,

"Yes, I did. Do you remember my proposition to form a group comprised of individuals tasked with protecting the country?" asked Batman,

"How could I forget?" Superman replied, a grin forming on his face, "It was a flawless plan except for the fact that there weren't more than two other people that you could think of to join this extraordinary group,"

"Yes well, this is about that and I think we have a few people who would be good enough for our group," Superman raised an eyebrow, interested in where this conversation was going.

"Go on," Superman said,

"Well, recently in Starling City there have been a number of interesting events going on. The first of these events to occur was the discovery of a vigilante of sorts. This vigilante is a man who's weapon of choice is a bow and arrow. Now, this man hasn't done anything to help the public directly, aside from putting away a corrupt businessman and killing another as well as being involved in the murder of another. His skillset is what I find most interesting about him. He is extremely well versed in archery and hand to hand combat and is extremely stealthy. In Starling City, he is known as 'The Hood' because he conceals his identity by wearing a green hood," Batman points at the photo of 'The Hood' on his computer monitor.

"The next person of interest is someone knows as 'The Streak'. He is a man with the power of superspeed. He is so fast that when running only a streak of lightning is visible. I believe that he gained his powers from the STAR Labs Particle Accelerator explosion a few years ago. Just this evening, the Streak was seen running people off the bridge that the crashing plane was heading towards," Batman indicated the photo of the Streak, or more accurately, the Streak's lightning.

"Wait, what crashing plane?" asked Superman. Batman looked at him in confusion,

"Did you watch tonight's news?" he asked Superman, who shook his.

"No, I was working late at the Daily Planet and didn't get a chance," he replied,

"Huh, okay. Well, just an hour or two ago Flight 237 headed to Geneva experienced engine failure and was circling Starling City until a woman flew into the sky and flew it to safety…through a bridge," Batman told him. Superman's eyes flew open,

"Can you show me a picture of the woman?" he asked Batman, who started to type on his computer. A minute later, Batman pointed to a picture on his monitor and Superman gasped.

"I know who it is!" he cried,

"Who is it?" asked Batman, knowing the identity of the people he was recruiting would certainly help.

"The photo is bad quality, but I can tell it's her. The flying woman is my cousin: Kara Zor-El, or as she's known on Earth, Kara Danvers,"

"You have a cousin?" Batman asked, intrigued. He had never heard of any sort of blood relative of Superman's.

"Yeah, she's actually 13 years older than me, but her pod was knocked off course and into the Phantom Zone for 24 years," Superman explained,

"What's the Phantom Zone?" asked Batman,

"The Phantom Zone is a region in space where time doesn't pass," Superman replied, and Batman took a step back in shock.

"Where time doesn't-oh my God," Batman replied, "For time to not pass there must be an object with the same amount of pull as dark matter but inversed so that the pull is equal to zero and time can't pass as a resu-"

"Batman," Superman said, "Calm down,"

"Alright, yep…"

"I'm going to visit Kara in Starling City," Superman decided, "You can come if you want,"

"I'm definitely coming," Batman said, "Just let me get into my gear," Batman walked out of the room, returning a minute later dressed in his dark, skin-tight bat suit, fully equipped with cape, utility belt and cowl.

"You want a lift?" Superman asked Batman,

"No, thanks. I'm testing out some new tech," he replied, strapping what looked like a white oxygen tank onto his back. The two of them walked outside, the difference in temperature apparent as their breath began to fog. Superman hopped into the air and hovered a few feet off the ground. Following Superman's lead, Batman placed a device behind his ear and activated it, a blue LED lighting up. Batman pressed a button on the object on his back and it made a noise like an airplane starting up. Two wings popped out of the side of the device and then it roared to life, making a sound like a jet taking off.

"What's the thingy behind your ear for?" asked Superman,

"Neural Control Interface," Batman replied, "Let's me control things like thrust and trim, among other things," The device got louder and louder until Batman started to take off from the ground.

"It's basically a very high-tech jetpack!" Batman yelled at Superman over the noise, before he rose even higher in the air. Superman turned around in mid-air and began to fly quickly off into the distance. Batman began to speedup and increase in altitude as he followed Superman to Starling City. Batman sped up so that he was level with Superman in both speed and altitude, going over 1500 mph.

The two of them landed on top of Kara's apartment building and hour later and Batman powered down his Jetpack, taking the Neural Control Interface off and placing it in his utility belt. Superman jumped off the side of the building and came to a stop in mid-air outside a window which was open and flew inside quietly. Batman looked down and jumped off the building, throwing a grappling Batarang inside the open window. The Dark Knight continued to fall for a few seconds until the rope tensed and Batman landed on the side of the building. Using the rope as an anchor, Batman walked up the side of building, entering through the window. However, he had less than a second to react when twin laser beams zoomed towards him. He rolled to the side and grabbed another Batarang, this one infused with Kryptonite. He was about to throw it when Superman called out.

"Hey! Everyone, stop!" he yelled. Batman looked up and saw a young woman, around 17 or 18, power down her eyes so that they were a crystal blue instead of red. Batman put away his Batarang.

"Who are you?" asked the girl.

"I'm Batman," he replied, quickly.

"You're who now?" she asked.
