Supergirl Meets Power Girl For The First Time
Gotham metropolis and even the quiet
farmlands of Kansas these are places
that witness Heroes fighting for justice
every day but not all battles are fought
against villains some of the most
challenging conflicts a hero faces come
from within or in this case from a
reflection of themselves the Justice
Society of America is in the midst of a
fierce fight against Solomon Grundy The
Towering Undead Powerhouse smashes his
way through their ring his monstrous
strength overwhelming even the most
seasoned Heroes the battlefield is a
blur of light power and Chaos despite
their efforts the JSA is struggling to
hold their ground away from The Fray
super gou and star girl stand on the
sidelines watching the battle unfold
Cara looks uneasy shifting her weight as
she keeps her eyes on the fight
shouldn't we be helping she asks her
voice tinged with concern Star Girl
offers a confident smile radiating faith
in her team trust me she replies the JSA
has handled worse they've got this under
control Cara hesitates her instincts as
a hero urging her to intervene but star
girl's calm demeanor convinces her to
wait at least for now however the battle
takes a sharp turn Grundy's Relentless
assault begins to overpower the team one
by one members of the JSA falter under
his unyielding yelding strength he looms
over a fallen Green Lantern ready to
deliver a crushing blow the heroes cry
out in desperation but it seems they
might be too late that's when Power Girl
arrives with a resounding crash she
lands directly between Grundy and the
down hero without hesitation she
delivers a powerful strike to the
Behemoth her arrival reignites hope
among the JSA and for a moment it seems
the tide is turning but Grundy is no
ordinary opponent and even power girl
struggles to subdue him each strike she
lands is met with equal ferocity
watching from a distance Cara's unease
grows into action I can't just stand
here anymore she says her voice Resolute
without waiting for a response she
launches herself into the fight super
goal's arrival tips the scales with a
single devastating punch she knocks
Grundy off his feet finally ending the B
after the dust settles the two
kryptonians stand face to face for the
first time Supergirl and Powergirl are
near mirror images of one another
they're striking similarities impossible
to ignore for a moment there's a mutual
respect an unspoken acknowledgment of
their shared strength and Heritage
they're about to shake hands a gesture
of camarad and kinship but then without
warning power girls Powers spiral out of
control her heat vision flares blasting
Supergirl with an intense beam of energy
startled Supergirl raises her arms to
defend herself but power girl doesn't
stop her attacks are Relentless fueled
by a fury she can't seem to control Cara
pleads with her counterpart trying to
break through the haze of Rage what are
you doing stop but Power girl's eyes
Blaze with uncontrollable energy she's
lost in the moment her attacks wild and
unrestrained before things escalate
further Allan Scott the Green Lantern
intervenes his Emerald energy wraps
around both women separating them into
glowing green spheres power girl regains
her senses Breathing heavily as the rage
subsides confusion and alarm wash over
her face what just happened to me she
asks her voice trembling Mr terrific
steps forward his analytical mind
already working on an explanation it's
because you and Supergirl are the same
person just from different universes
your existences conflict with each other
causing this rejection the Revelation
hits both women hard Cara is determined
to find a solution but power girl
clearly frustrated and overwhelmed
shakes her head I'm done with tests and
explanations she snaps with a burst of
speed she takes off leaving Supergirl
behind her question unanswered Days
Later Cara seeks out Power Girl once
more this time they meet at the Statue
of Liberty a symbol of strength and hope
under the glow of the afternoon sun
Supergirl approaches cautiously she
doesn't want to push but she hopes to
mend a riff between them I just want to
talk Cara begins her tone soft and
Earnest but Power Girl is guarded her
body language tense I don't know who I
am anymore she admits her voice heavy
with emotion my past feels like it's
slipping away and now with you here it's
like I've lost something that was mine
Cara shakes her head I'm not here to
take anything from you we're on the same
side Power Girl interrupts her voice
sharp during our fight I felt something
dark inside you I don't know what it was
but it scared me with that she turns and
flies off leaving Cara alone once again
meanwhile in the shadows Lex Luther and
calcul later observe the events
unfolding Luther watches Supergirl on a
monitor a Sinister smile tugging at his
lips she searching for a friend he Muses
and that makes her vulnerable it's clear
he has plans for the young Kryptonian
though their nature remains shrouded in
secrecy feeling isolated and unsure Cara
decides to visit the Kent Farm it's a
place of comfort and familiarity and she
hopes to find solace in her cousin super
boy but as she approaches Super Boy
intercepts her midair his expression is
angry his tone uncharacteristically
harsh turned back he demands his voice
cold now Cara freezes stunned by his
hostility and so carara finds herself
more alone than ever rejected by power
girl misunderstood by super boy and
feeling like a stranger even among
allies Supergirl faces a new kind of
Challenge.
