《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 7
Advertisement
A school bus full of kids was hanging off a bridge that had been damaged in the quake and was quickly starting to slip off, the kids screaming in terror as the bus started falling, only to stop suddenly.
They all grinned when they saw a familiar red cape as the bus was pushed safely back onto the road.
"It's Superman!" one boy said, only for the person responsible to float in front of them.
"Not quite." the woman said.
"Who are you?" one young girl asked and the woman smiled.
"I'm Supergirl." Supergirl said with a smile as she flew off to help the rest of National City through the earthquake.
"Supergirl, there's a fire raging on 7th and Wilson, the NCFD will not get there in time to contain it." Lena's voice said in her ear.
"Lena, I didn't realize we had comms." Kara said, surprised.
"The Q-Wave sensor wasn't the only upgrade I made to your suit. Winn and I rigged up a communication frequency and installed in it both of your suits." Lena said.
"Okay, I'm on my way. I have to admit, it is nice to have you in my ear." Kara said.
"Well, we could've been doing that on the old earth if you'd told me sooner." Lena said.
"Whatever. Anyways, I'm on my way. Focus more on helping Dreamer navigate the city, I can use my senses." Kara said.
"Got it." Lena said as she got off comms.
Dreamer was rushing through National City since she hadn't figured out how to fly yet and now did not seem like the ideal time to learn.
"Dreamer, come in." Lena's voice said in her ear.
"Lena, did you install comms?" Nia asked.
"Yep. Look, Supergirl can handle the damages caused by the earthquake, but it seems like the thugs in this city are trying to take advantage of the chaos it caused, so you're on that, since no offense, but that seems more like something your powers can help with." Lena said, right as Dreamer noticed a bit of debris from the broken bridge fall and was about to crush some civilians.
"Hold that thought." Dreamer said as she summoned her dream energy and harnessed it into a lasso and used it to pull the civilians to safety.
"Whoa. Who are you?" one of the guys she saved asked.
"I'm Dreamer." Dreamer said with a grin as she tossed her dream energy like a grappling hook towards the nearest rooftop and swung away.
"You were saying?" Nia asked, since she knew that Lena had been watching through surveillance cameras.
"I stand corrected. Go, I'll help you prioritize with Supergirl and emergency services." Lena said.
"Copy that." Dreamer said as she got to work.

"Today, after being hit by a brutal earthquake, National City was saved by not one, but two new superheroes. While no one knows where they came from or why they chose now to reveal themselves to the world, we can say for sure that we're glad they did, since authorities have confirmed that the damage and casualties would've been much worse." a news reporter said on TV as Kara, Nia, Winn, Lena, Alex, Kelly and J'onn all gathered in Kara's office for a celebratory toast.
"You heard her. This calls for a toast. To Supergirl and Dreamer." Alex said with a smile as they raised their glasses.
"Listen, there's more." Winn said.
"While both of these women are heroes, the one that's really taken National City by storm is the one wearing the same symbol as the man of steel, using very similar powers to him as well and is even calling herself Supergirl, making all of us wonder, what is her connection to the man of steel." the reporter said.
"Figures you get more credit." Nia said good naturedly.
"Hey, it's not my fault that people pay more attention to the S." Kara said and Nia rolled her eyes.
"Well, since we're all here, there's something Lena and I want to show you what we've been working on." Winn said with a smile as he pressed a button on Kara's desk, revealing a hidden elevator.
"Is that a secret elevator?" Kara asked with a grin.
"Figured that since we can't have people walking upstairs, so Lena and I put this together." Winn said eagerly as they all walked into the elevator.
When the elevator doors opened, Kara and Nia were the first ones out as they looked around what had to be their new lair. The walls were reinforced with blue metal and lighting fixtures were hanging from the ceiling, monitors were mounted on support columns and off to one side was a computer hub, along with a lounge area including a conference table and a couple of couches.
"Okay, this place is cool, and I can't believe how quickly you guys were able to finish it." Kara said.
"Well, we actually used this experimental nano tech that I've been working on for Lord Tech and Lena upgraded it so we used it to build this place cheaply and quickly." Winn said.
"So wait, this entire place is made of nanotech?" Alex asked.
"If we were in the 31st century, yes. But since 21st century technology is more limited, no, this place is not made out of nano tech. We just used it to build the tower. Used the nanobots as unpaid construction workers that don't stop until the job is done." Winn said.
"Really, that's impressive." Nia said.

"Yeah, remind me of why you decided to settle for being an IT person at Catco?" Kara asked.
"Lapse of judgement." Winn said simply.
"What's this?" Nia asked as she referred to a few other doors in the Tower.
"That door leads to the armory, since while you, Kara and J'onn all have powers, but Alex, Lena and I, we need weapons." Winn said.
"What else is here?" Kara asked and Lena smiled.
"There's also a small R&D lab so that Winn and I can continue to make gadgets to help you guys out, a fully stocked medbay, completely equipped with yellow sun lamps, along with a prison cell designed with Lex's power dampening technology so that you can hold criminals here without having to give them to the DEO first. No offense." Lena said.
"None taken, there are certain prisoners that we don't want in the DEO. Like Kara's aunt." Alex said.
"What?" Nia asked.
"Long story, though I'm sure we'll be hearing from her soon now that I've made my presence on this earth known." Kara said.
"I promise not to put a sword through her chest again, especially if J'onn restores her memories." Alex said and J'onn nodded.
"And what's in there?" Kara asked, nodding towards the last room.
"Oh, that's the one I'm really proud of. That's the training room. It's reinforced with Nth metal so that no matter how crazy things get, nothing gets damaged. We also designed with power dampeners so that you guys can practice fighting without your powers." Winn said.
"I'm also working on less lethal version of lexosuit technology to use as training bots." Lena said and Kara and Nia both nodded.
"This place is incredible. Man, Barry and Oliver are going to be so jealous when they see it." Kara said, since it was clear that her clubhouse was way cooler than either of theirs.
"I think Oliver may fire Cisco as his base designer and give the job to you." Alex said to Winn.
"Cool." Winn said eagerly.
"Is there anything else we need to know about?" Kara asked.
"Oh this." Winn said as he tapped a button on the computers, causing a wall panel to slide away, revealing a row of mannequins.
"What are these for?" Nia asked.
"Your suits. I know that you'll keep them in those rings when you're not here, at the same time, I think that after each mission you guys should put your suits here so that we can scan them for damages. Plus, it'll look cool." Winn said and Kara and Nia both as they looked above the mannequins to see symbols above them.
"To indicate who gets each mannequin. Kara's is the one in the middle, Nia, your's is the one with the swirl above it, since I always thought that it would represent your dream blasts." Winn explained and Kara and Nia both nodded.
"The other symbols, well the one with the DEO symbol over it is for Alex's suit, since I think it's a good idea if your suit is not government property." Winn said and Alex nodded in agreement.
"That one is for James, since I've already sent him his Guardian armor." Winn said, nodding towards the one with the shield over it.
"Or maybe it could be for me." Kelly said, causing all eyes to turn to her.
"Wait what?" Alex asked.
"Alex, I have actual combat training from my time in the military and I know how to work that shield. I got so nervous about losing you in the field, but maybe the best way to make sure I don't is if I have your back in it." Kelly said.
"James will kill me if I make you a suit." Winn said.
"I'll protect you, since I have to admit, I've missed having an Olsen have my back in the field." Kara said and Winn nodded.
"Okay." Winn said.
"But you're not going out in the field until you've put in some serious hours in the training room. One of the reasons why I was so against James being Guardian is because of how untrained he was. If you're going out there Kelly, I need to know you can handle yourself." Kara said and Kelly nodded in understanding.
"What about the other mannequins?" J'onn asked.
"Those are for when visiting heroes from other cities come to play. The other S is for Superman obviously, the lighting bolt is for Flash, the Arrow is for the Green Arrow, since I heard about him in the future, the bat is for Batwoman, since no one knows what happened to Batman." Winn said.
"I need to talk to Kate about that next time I see her." Kara said briefly.
"And the others are just extra for now, likely for their teammates." Winn said.
"Okay then. We've got our suits, our names and the Tower, I think we're ready to be heroes." Kara said with a grin.
"First, shouldn't you start writing the exclusives that will make Danvers Daily News a legitimate media firm?" Nia asked.
"She's got a point. But maybe this should all wait until tomorrow, since I think we could all use a good night's sleep." Alex said and Kara nodded.
"You heard her. We'll regroup tomorrow, but for now, let's try to relax and have a goodnight's sleep and start fresh in the morning." Kara said and they all nodded.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
