Reincarnated as Supergirl (YJ / DC)

Chapter 42.1



So, I have started playing with several other stories right now, the main ones being a SW/WORM fanfic called "Will of The Force" that will be SFW and a Naruto fanfic called "Rise of The Senju" that's NSFW, they're still early, with only a few chapters and I'm not posting them here in SH yet.

I'm not absolutely certain I'm gonna continue them, but they did get some attention in SB and QQ where I have snippets threads.

This story won't stop, far from it, but I'm trying to get some order on things, so I'll be getting a schedule.

There will be a chapter a week. with the first part coming Tuesday and the second at Thursday, when I'll also be posting it everywhere else.

Before, I had posted more than one chapter a week, but I'm cutting back on that a little in order to build a backlog.

I know people want chapter's eariler, but a proper backlog of at least a few chapters will allow me to improve the fic's quality and make better use of feedback.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

 

"Here, hold this," Kara commanded, throwing Captain Marvel a spare command chip in case the ones she was using failed. He was far enough away that the device’s energy field shouldn’t affect it but one could never be too careful in DC, the universe half built on scientific mishaps.

Carefully settling things in place, she stepped back and activated her teleportation platform. With a flash of light, the stuffed toy teleported from one location to the other, appearing intact on the other side.

Kara was still trying to create a cheap teleport device for commercial use with just Earth materials. It was proving far more challenging than expected.

"Did it succeed?" Marvel asked, observing the teddy bear for any damage.

"Don't know, it's the insides that are getting messed up at the moment," she answered, deactivating the devices and grabbing the bear.

Unzipping its back, she checked and saw the cheap electronics she had stuffed it with were half melted and sparkling. She could only imagine what it would do to a human.

"Maybe you could slow the teleport down?" Marvel offered, eyeing Dexter suspiciously, but the cat had learned to just ignore him when he was in his older, invulnerable form. “From what I can understand, you’re actually moving the object through a different dimension when it teleports. It's probably the re-entry into normal space that's causing the damage."

"Hmmm… you're probably right, but then I'd have to find a way of keeping someone from dying while their cells reform one by one," Kara scratched at her chin, checking the platform's batteries to see if they weren't fried in this attempt.

Wearing her heroic costume, Kori came out from the bathroom and threw herself onto the sofa in a lounging position. "Greetings, Friend Billy."

"Hi, Miss Koriand'r," Marvel waved back at her, squinting at the device and trying to think of a way.

Looking at him, Kara considered the young boy. "Say, how does that work anyways? The whole 'Wisdom of Solomon' thing. How come you don't retain the understanding when you transform back?"

"What? Ah, well," Marvel leaned his head back, trying to think about the best way of explaining things. "Right, do you know how your brain can't comprehend large numbers?"

Kara tried to imagine a large number, picturing a hundred people in her mind, she managed it, fairly easy at that, so she increased it and changed the target, and picturing thousands of little dots instead… it wasn't that much harder.

Then she tried to remember how it was when she had been human, but she just couldn't.

"No, can't say that I do," Kara shrugged.

"I do not, Friend Billy," Kori said from the sofa, trying to be useful. "It is fairly easy."

"Right, aliens, forgot that," Marvel sighed, coming up with a new example. "Well, when I transform, I just understand the meaning of things, it's kind of a tacit knowledge, I know what's going on, even if I can't exactly explain it in words. Like, when someone thinks about a car, they don’t think about the mechanics of it, how it works, the materials, they just know what a car is.

"When I'm not transformed, I lose that tacit knowledge, and all this just becomes words without meaning again," he replied, shrugging as if it didn’t matter. “Well, the ‘Wisdom of Solomon’ gives me more than that, but only if I actively use it.”

“Like what?” Kara asked, now genuinely curious, she didn’t know all that much about Captain Marvel’s powers.

“Well, I can see a little into the future, speak all languages,” he started listing on his fingers, revealing just how bullshit his powers were, and that was only a single letter of his name. “I can get Solomon’s advice about things if I focus and I can hypnotize people.”

Huh, and Kara thought Kryptonians were versatile.

Focusing back on her project and a few adjustments later, Kara was ready for another test, the last one before they’d have to go. The platform had survived the first test, so she didn’t need to use the spare chip.

This time, the flash of light was much longer. Focusing her vision, Kara saw the new stuffed bear teleporting from one side to the other, its body gradually disappearing to reappear at the other side.

Two seconds later, the process had finished. Kara grabbed the toy, but it crumbled in her hand, the cloth no longer connected. Rummaging through the remains, she pulled out the electronics.

They were separated into tiny little pieces, but they weren’t melted or damaged in any other way… Hmmm, maybe she could put in a space lock while the teleport was happening? No, that would make things too expensive again.

“Well, it’s about time we go,” with a tap of her fingers, Kara’s outfit changed into casual wear and the hologram hid her eyepatch. She couldn’t wait to get rid of the thing.

Kori activated her own device, hiding her exotic skin and outfit to appear like a normal, if extremely hot, young human woman.

Getting up, Marvel settled the spare chip on top of the table and whispered. “Shazam.”

A small bolt of lightning hit his chest, coming completely out of nowhere and not damaging anything, after which, left Billy Batson standing in Marvel’s place.

Kara frowned, she’d have to find a way of blocking that. Not that she had anything against Billy, but he called upon the power of Zeus to transform and Kara didn’t like the idea that a god could reach her inside her home, not at all.

But, maybe, it was just because Billy was already a conduit?

With a snarl, Dexter attacked, pouncing on the kid, his claws extended as he aimed for Billy’s face with irrepressible rage. Billy released a girlish scream, clearly having forgotten the reason he was always transformed while in the apartment.

Snatching the cat out of the air mid-pounce, Kara cradled him between her arms and scratched at his head. Dexter hissed a little longer, but calmed down as Kara held him, enjoying sharing her heat.

Glaring at the cat, Billy put a table between himself and the feline menace, giving it a wide berth before hurrying towards the door. “Miss Kara, you really should start socializing your attack cat.”

“Yeah, I’ll probably start introducing him to the Titans… or take him to Kal’s farm. Anyways, good kitty, that’s right, protect home!” Kara said in a childish voice, then realized what she was doing and corrected herself. “Stay safe Dex, and try not to destroy the house too much.”

The cat wiggled in her grasp until she released him on the sofa where he promptly turned his back to her, his tail held high as he gave a meow towards Kori, clearly complaining about the way Kara had prevented him from attacking. For her part, Kori only gave a warm smile to her friends' antics.

Leaving the building with Billy in tow, Kori waved goodbye to the doorman. Kara just gave the man a nod before focusing back on her companions. “By the way, kid, about your girlfriends.”

“They’re not my girlfriends!” Billy answered automatically, only blushing a little bit.

Kara snorted, messing up his hair. “Yeah, right. So, are they out of Star Labs already?”

“No, the doctors have cleared them to leave if they’re under watch, but they don’t really have a guardian,” he answered, his face frowning as he thought about both girls… or was it only one? Kara wasn’t certain they could still reconnect after so long. “It’s hard; people don’t like meta-humans.”

“Friend Billy, have you tried asking the League for help?”

“Batman is setting up something; a group home for meta-humans using the League’s funding, but that’s gonna take time.”

Kara wanted to help and, if it came to it, she could take the girl in, but she wasn’t really in a good situation right this moment, what with changing houses, and everything she had on her plate.

“Well, if you need help, just ask,” she offered anyway before asking what she really wanted to know. “Do you know if she can still absorb your powers?”

“We haven’t really tested that… why?” Billy asked, squinting his eyes at her and feeling protective.

“Oh, don’t worry about it, just an idle thought,” she dismissed his question.

It truly had been an idle thought, a way of getting something she wanted without too much trouble, but it would probably be too dangerous for the girl. No, it would definitely be too dangerous for the girl.

Leaving Billy at school, Kara kissed Kori goodbye and let her take the Zeta-Tube towards the mountain. Kara herself took the long way around, having to fetch Detective Chimp before meeting the Titans there.

The chimpanzee was dressed in his full detective gear, but he lacked the usual smell of booze or the lit cigarette, clearly at least trying to be presentable to the team.

“Ready to give some lessons to the incorrigible youths of today?” Kara asked as she dropped beside him and the both of them started walking towards the nearest Zeta-Tube.

“No, I really should have gone to Japan on that demon-hunting job,” the chimp sighed, reaching for his pocket before hesitating and dropping his arm. “With Sangaku there, I probably wouldn’t be needed, but it beats playing babysitter.”

“Well, you get to mess with the boy wonder.”

“Hmmm, that is a perk,” he admitted, scratching at his face. “Maybe I can teach him a few tricks the Bat lack’s”

“Any luck with Ivy?” Kara had to ask.

“Some. Are you free tomorrow?” Bobo asked, adjusting his cap. “I arranged a meeting and it would be better to have company for it.”

“Someone dangerous?” Kara asked with caution. Bobo messed with the more magical side of superhero life so she’d have to be ready for it.

“The meeting is on neutral ground, but villains are never the most stable individuals and I’d like to have protection when leaving,” the chimp confessed, showing her his large fangs as he smiled. “Contrary to some, I don’t have any of the flashy powers to escape or to fight my way out.”

Putting a hand on her pocket, Kara took out a small box, throwing it to the hero. “Well, I’m glad you asked.”

Poking the box, Bobo carefully opened the lid and looked inside. A few seconds of thought later and he closed it, putting it in a pocket. “Hmmm, you’re spreading them around instead of curtailing their use. Good choice, should muddle The Light’s searches a little. I take it you gave a box to the big boys up there too?”

“Of course,” Kara nodded, smiling at the chimp. “Handed an entire crate to my cousin yesterday.”

“Hmmm… bring more of these boxes with you tomorrow,” Bobo said, tapping the box in his pocket absentmindedly. “We’ll probably meet some folks that deserve one of those where we’re going.”

“Some heroes that deserve the support or villains you think I’d like to monitor?” Kara asked, trying to figure out where they were going.

“Both, but mostly the heroes,” Bobo answered, glancing up at her before clarifying his statement. “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t secretly spread them while INSIDE the place, but I won’t stop you if they accept it themselves.”

A moment later, the both of them used the Zeta-Tube to appear inside the mountain. Bobo lifted an eyebrow as the security features took a few seconds to recognize him and gave Kara an annoyed look, but she just shrugged.

Time for the Chimp to meet the Titans.
