It was a lukewarm Spring when Kara landed in rural Delaware. She didn’t remember the crash – or even entering the Earth’s atmosphere. She supposed she was lucky that she didn’t remember anything at first; that all she knew was what she felt. She was an alien from outer space and these two people in the middle of nowhere didn’t care. Didn’t tell the government. Hid the evidence. Treated her like she was their very own. A fairy princess sent for them to care for. When her memories and powers started coming to her, she had questions. Of course, she did. But she was never scared for her life. She was happy being Linda Lee-Anne Danvers. 

As she touched the holographic terminal in the Kryptonian facility she smiled widely, not because she was learning where she was from and about her biological parents, but because she found that missing piece she had been looking for ever since her nightmares began to taunt her about her past. It was weird being a daughter of two worlds, but that's the hand the universe dealt her and she was going to have to accept that. Because, well, what was her alternative? Reject the family that had supported and nourished her for eleven years? Reject her alien upbringing that gave her amazing powers and had faith that she would survive? 

Kara Danvers was strong enough to bear it. Strong enough to take responsibility.

The blonde-haired Kryptonian swiped her hand across the holographic panel. More information about Krypton. About how it once fashioned itself as an Empire of science, democracy, and egalitarian efforts across the universe; but just like all empires, it eventually grew too big to sustain itself, too ambitious. It drew itself back and ended up crumbling into nothing. Now that her memories started to make more sense, pieces of things reminded her of a time she had once thought lost to the childhood trauma of ending up on Earth in the first place. How her father, Zor-El, was arguing with his brother Jor-El about the government of Krypton; about their decisions and how the world was becoming more-and-more unstable. How the government refused to admit a great environmental calamity was on the horizon. How there was no use talking to them at all. Admittedly, the context was something she could barely understand. She was eight years old at the time and a lot of the memory was repressed in her nightmares. 

It was an odd realization. An empire founded on science was done in by their government officials denying an impending environmental disaster. But she supposed both Earth and Krypton had the same problem with electing people who liked to play pretend.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“This is a lot. I don’t know how long it’ll take me to process everything. But its all here. Everything I've always wanted. Mostly. Where I come from, who my family is. I am so geeked right now.”[/color]

[color=white][b]“That terminology is not in my database.”[/b][/color]

Kara giggled again. [COLOR=81CFFF]“It’s… uh… don’t worry about it, Kelex. It’s just slang.”[/color]

[color=white][b]“Understood. If there is anything you need from me, do let me know.”[/b][/color]

[COLOR=81CFFF]“Actually, there is one thing.”[/color] The blonde turned to look at the drone, thinking about something that had been on her mind since she woke up in the facility in the first place. [COLOR=81CFFF]“Could you turn the heat up? It's really frickin' cold.”[/color]

[color=white][b]“Yes. I believe I can optimize the thermal temperature to be less than freezing. My apologies if you were most uncomfortable. I did not know.”[/b][/color]

[COLOR=81CFFF]“It's no big deal, Kelex. I appreciate it.”[/color]

As the frost on the floor began to evaporate, Kara leaned back on a metal railing. For all of the tech the facility had it had a distinct lack of chairs. She couldn’t imagine who would want to stand for all of eternity while they went over reports about ancient humans going about their daily lives. Maybe they took all the chairs with them when they left the planet? She shook her head at that thought. She hadn't explored the whole facility yet; only a few corridors and rooms. Honestly she didn't know how long it would take her to explore everything in the facility. The place was built like a maze or a fortress. It seemed easy to get lost unless you knew where you were going.

And Kara was really easy at getting lost. If she didn't already have superpowers she probably would say getting lost was her superpower.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“So Kelex. Now that I have full access, what exactly can I do?”[/color] Karas uttered as she cracked her neck, her muscles still sore.

[color=white][b]“Everything.”[/b][/color]

[COLOR=81CFFF]“Everything?”[/color]

[color=white][b]“Indeed. You have no restricted permissions, so you will have no issue operating this facility.”[/b][/color]

Kara thought for a moment, trying to rephrase what she said so she could understand the Kryptonian facility a little better. What main rooms it had, what said rooms could do, and maybe where those rooms were located. If she was to be the new keeper of this fortress, she needed more information.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“Right. And what does that all... uh... mean?”[/color] She asked, hoping Kelex would understand what she meant.

[color=white][b]“You have access to all capabilities of this facility, including the observational radar, information bank, codex, vault, armory, control room, and research laboratory. I believe you are already aware of what the codex archives and stores.”[/b][/color]

Kara raised a brow as she looked in Kelex’s direction – or at least the drone that had orbited her since she entered the facility. 

She didn’t know what kind of group the Kryptonian Science Guild was. But an armory for a scientific envoy seemed very out of place to her. Were they planning on weaponizing this place in case the need called for it? Were her people expecting a fight? From pre-modern humans? Was there something she didn’t know or was Earth the subject of another, different alien threat? or were here people intergalactic conquerors? She didn’t even want to think about what the most likely scenario was.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“The more you know.”[/color] She uttered as she closed her eyes for a moment.

This was going to be a long summer.
