[color=silver][indent][indent]The Summer had, indeed, been a long one.

What she had learned in the weeks since reading everything and anything was hard to summarize. But the most important information she had gathered was one thing in particular. 

Where and why her powers came from. Apparently, Kryptonian physiology was so weird and strange that the yellow sun that the Earth orbited had some weird metabiological effect that granted her the powers of a demigod. As fascinating as it may have been – and it was – Kara found it a bit concerning that she didn’t know [i]everything[/i]. Growing up in Delaware, she had always been one to bury herself in facts and figures; and that wasn’t just limited to biology, chemistry, tinkering, or math. Her best friend always told her that she cared too much about knowing everything before making a decision. Finding the answers she wanted had emboldened her and as far as she could figure, if she had the tools why shouldn’t she do as much research as humanly possible?

However, if there was one thing Kara disliked the most was being uncomfortable; and given what she was wearing and where she was, Kara did have more than a few doubts.

Kara took a deep breath and nervously held out her hands. She was floating, controlling (and defying) gravity like she had never thought possible. Gliding out of her bedroom window at two in the morning to break curfew was one thing, but she never imagined she’d be floating in the troposphere after a little trial and error. She still wasn’t sure about it, but the signs had been there her whole life. But after hiding it for almost eleven years, she always wondered about the lengths she could go if she really pushed herself. If she allowed herself to. No longer did she have to hear the lectures of keeping her powers to herself, hiding, and wondering. Her dad might’ve had good intentions, but she always doubted it being the right thing to do – keeping quiet out of some fear that the government would take her away or the people she loved turning against her. 

This is what she was. Hiding it never changed that.

Besides, what harm could there be in finally realizing herself? Learning what she could do beyond her heightened senses, raw speed, and super strength?

[COLOR=81CFFF]“I always knew I could fly, but this is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as this suit. But hey, I guess if you got it you should flaunt it. That's what they say, right? Boy howdy... if only the boys in AP Chemistry could see me now. No more dorky sweater and baggy pants for me.”[/color] She muttered as she surveyed the land below, the land where she could go ‘splat’ really quickly if she lost concentration. 

She supposed all those years concentrating her senses and secretly using her powers came in handy. She was pretty sure she wouldn't be a fan of falling over ten thousand feet, even if her body could “take it”.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“Alright. Rule number one for today. Stay near the fortress. Err... above the fortress? Yeah. Cool.”[/color]

The blonde nodded to herself, agreeing with the boundaries she had set for herself.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“I can do that.”[/color]

Her eyes shifted, pinpointing from voice-to-voice, or really scream-to-scream. Voices she had never heard, and some that she had. People in peril, while others who couldn’t be any safer. There was an urge in her to ignore her rule and go investigate each and every single thing she heard. It all sounded terrible, but it always did. She had heard similar cries ever since she landed on Earth. All this power in her body and she wasn’t thinking how it benefited her; only how she could use it to help. Her biggest burden was that she had this alien intelligence but a human heart. As she closed her eyes, she listened closer and closer.

As she listened to the world's “whispers” she moved herself in the sky, through the clouds, and further up. There wasn't much summer left -- but she wasn't ready to head back to Delaware yet. But she knew that hunkering down in an alien hole in the ground for the rest of her life wasn't something she wanted to do either. She had dreams well beyond understanding herself and finding the lost kryptonians. But how was she going to be able to balance her alien goals and her human dreams when she was in college? What was she going to do for money? Her scholarship options were limited and finding a job that allowed her the kind of time off she would need just seemed impossible.

She groaned as she twirled around a cloud, floating upside-down as she thought about the idea of her responsibilities going forward.

[COLOR=81CFFF]“All the power in the world and my biggest problem is something so dumb. Augh. This sucks.”[/color]

Between her missing cousin, a internship hanging in the air, and a science scholarship to Metro Tech, there was a lot to think about and she didn't have much more time to do so. But as all things... she would learn being super was a lot more work than she thought it'd be as a kid.

And it was just the beginning.
