The sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over the bustling city below.

Kara Zor-El, yet to be dubbed as Supergirl, floated above the busy city, her senses expanded, listening for any help needed. Her whole body bathing in Sol's warmth, increasing her already strong physique. Today, she was on petrol alone, without Clark, without Superman. He had trusted her to protect the city for today.

Down below, a busy intersection bustled with cars, pedestrians, and the usual chaos of urban life. Drivers were impatiently honked their horns, and the crosswalks were filled with people rushing to their destinations.

In the midst of this chaotic scene, a sudden screech of tires and a cacophony of alarmed shouts signaled a danger. attracting Kara's attention. A car rushed thought the street, its driver struggling to regain control.

The women behind the wheel, panic etched across her face, slammed on the brakes, but the car didn't respond. Its tires screeched against the pavement as it continued to hurtle forward, seemingly out of control. Pedestrians scattered, and nearby drivers braced for impact.

"Help! Somebody, please help!" The panicked driver screamed.

Seeing that her help was needed, Kara moved with lightning speed, creating a sonic boom as she descended. She beelined toward the car's side, her hand firmly gripping the front bumper of the car. She strained against its momentum, her boots digging furrows into the asphalt.

With her incredible strength, Kara slowly brought the reeling vehicle to a halt. The wheels finally ceased their frantic spinning, and the women inside the car, trembling with fear, could hardly believe her her eyes.

She noticed the 'S' on the person who saved her. "Thank you, Super-" but she stopped as she noticed that it was not Superman but a young girl wearing dress similar to superman.

Passersby had gathered, their faces filled with awe and relief. The crisis had been averted, thanks to their new hero. They didn't know who she was but they could clearly see that she wore the same costume as superman, so she has to be a hero.

Snapping out of her stupor, the women staggered out of the car. "Thank you," She said, her face filled with gratitude.

But Kara wasn't focused on her.

-Few minutes into the past-

In the shadowy ally across the street, a group of masked criminals, armed with high-tech weapons and determination, gathered around a black van. Their leader, a ruthless figure known as "The Masked Marauder," outlined their plan with a cold, calculated precision.

"Remember, we have one shot at this. Once we're inside, it is all about speed and intimidation. We'll be in and out before anyone can notice us."

The gang nodded in agreement as they geared up with their newly purchased high-tech weaponry to launch their audacious heist. Inside the bank, oblivious to the impending threat, costumers queued at the counters, and bank employees went about their daily tasks.

Suddenly, the bank's entrance exploded in a shower of glasses and debris. The gang stormed in, guns blazing, and the bank erupted into chaos.

"Everybody down! This is a robbery! Nobody move, and nobody gets hurt!"

Panic spread through the bank as some dove to take cover while some dropped to the ground, trembling. The robbers moved with calculated precision, securing control of the bank and ensuring that no one dared to intervene. Bank guards, armed with only courage and determination, found themselves out matched and outgunned.

The hostages, a mix of bank employees and customers, lay prone on the polished floor, their hearts racing with fear. The Marauder's gang members fanned out, their weapons at the ready while placing explosives around the hostages.

A old women griped the shaking hands of a young girl, and assured, "Stay strong, we'll get through this. We have superman to save us."

The girl nodded in reply.

With the bank's interior plunged into chaos and the robbers now in control, the audacious heist had begun, leaving the fate of the bank and its occupants hanging on balance.

Kara took flight without a word.

Her speed and action shocking the people, but Kara wasn't superman to wait and explain. Kara only moved a block away from the accident. She hovered above the Metropolis National Bank which was in turmoil.

Her X-ray vision showed her what was happening inside the bank and her super hearing allowing her to hear everything.

"Everyone down on the ground! This is a robbery!"

"Hurry it up, or things will get messy!"

"Don't think of acting heroes! Stay still if your don't want to die!"

She saw the hostages laying on the marble floor, trembling with fear. The robbers fanned out around the hostages, placing what looked to be explosives around the hostages. One of the robber was forcing a bank employee to open the vault, while a man who looked like the leader gave orders to the robbers. He was wearing red suit and a hat, his face covered by black mask.

Kara seeing that she would need to intervene, descended from the sky like a comet.

BOOM!!!

***

BOOM!!!

As the tension inside the bank reached its peak, a sudden crash shattered the panicked silence. Dust and debris rained down, creating the cloud of dust that enveloped the startled robbers.

The hostages panicked even more as the cloud also obscured vision. "What?... What's hap-pening?" asked someone, his words stuttering.

The sound of bank's ceiling burst open alerted the robbers of the unwanted presence. The Masked Marauder turned to confront the hero that arrived but the dust cloud obscured his vision. But he go his answer soon enough as two red glowing eyes showed themselves.

The Robbers immediately pointed their weapons at the glowing eyes, clearly nervous due to the person that arrived. The only relatively calm one was the Masked Marauder. He lifted his hands, showing the detonator in his death grip, his thumb hovering over the button that could unleash destruction.

Masked Marauder smile menacingly as he knew that superman would never put civilians lives in danger. "Back off, Superman, or this whole place goes up in smoke!"

Marauders voice echoed off the Bank's silent interior, but the response he wanted never came. All he got was the read eyes staring at him, seemingly prying at his soul.

The bank's interior was filled with tense anticipation as the standoff continued. Kara's keen eyes scanned the room, and she noticed the fear etched on the faces of the hostages, their lives hanging in the hands of this robber.

But when Kara decided to not follow with aggression, wind blew through the broken broken entrance, clearing the dust that obscured their vision. With the dust cleared, the robbers clearly say who it was they were facing.

"You... You are not superman," Masked Marauder was confused by this revelation, so were his gang.

That slight opening was the biggest mistake the Masked Marauder made that day as Kara's heat vision cut through his hand, separating his wrist from his arm. Then with a swift motion of her eyes, she destroyed the detonator.

A gasp of shock spread through the Bank as Masker Marauder looked at his severed hand, his face twisting with agony and anger.

"What are you waiting for?!!! Kill her!!!" He roared like a wounded beast.

The robbers snapping out of their shock, pulled the trigger. The blasted glowed with power as they shot energy blast at Kara, but she moved with lightning speed, dodging the projectiles effortlessly.

"Surrender, or I won't show mercy," Kara warned her eyes glowing.

The robbers didn't head her warning, knowing that they were already at the deep end. Kara looked at the robbers shooting frantically at her, some of the energy bolts nearly grazing the hostages. Seeing that the situation couldn't continue, Kara lunged forward, her speed on full display as she disarmed the bank robbers one by one. She moved so quickly that they barely had time to react. With each swift motion, she destroyed their weapons and broke their bones.

As the last of criminals found themselves immobilized, the bank's employees and customers looked on with awe and relief, but their was a hint of fear in their eyes as they saw the crushed arms of the robbers.

Kara scanned them all for any injuries, not noticing their fears.

"They won't harm you anymore," Kara tried to comfort them.

But she was clearly not the best in it yet. Kara then rounded up the robbers fro the police. Masked Marauder had his left leg broken to keep him from running. With all of them in place, clearly not tied up due to their broken state, Kara waited until the authorities to arrived before flying off to her patrol.

"Why did I even get all excited to come to Metropolis?"

Zion groaned as he tried to keep his eyes open. He was slouched on a table, distressfully drinking coffee to jump start his brain.

Zion was facing the backlash of acting without thinking. He had rushed to Metropolis without clearly thinking of the time he would arrive at the city, in the middle of the night. Even the "City of Tomorrow" was asleep when he strode in, causing him to wait the whole night in his car for the sun to shine.

Without enough sleep through out night, Zion was feeling groggy, so, he moved into the coffee shop as its first costumer and stayed their until he felt like moving again. He was trying to think of ways to get close to superman, enough for him to scan his DNA, yet his mind keeps wandering to other subject that were not relevant at all.

He had created a clear blueprint to make a walking microwave which is used as a walking microwave, for microwaving food anywhere and anytime. And this was just one of his ideas.

"What should I do to meet Superman?" Zion wondered out loud. 'I can't clearly catch the guy flying around or should I blow shit up to attract his attention. I am pretty sure he would not roast me with his heat vision the moment he sees me. He would probably talk to me first.'

"Excuse me, you want to meet Superman?" A curious feminine voice asked.

Startled, Zion turned to the voice, noticing beautiful women standing behind him. She had her black hair tied in a pony tail, her brown eyes looking at him curiously. She was wearing a white shirt with a back jeans, her dress complementing slender physique.

Zion met her gaze with a bit of surprise, he knew who it was. "Well, I just wanted to meet the big guy, you know, The 'Superman'. I wanted to ask why he does what he does, maybe have a full on conversation on how to improve the world for the better."

The women smiled at his answer. "That's a noble aspiration. Superman's a remarkable figure. If you are looking to connect with him, you might want to consider reaching out through the Daily Planet. I could help you with that."

Zion showed a shocked expression. "That would be incredible! Thank you, Ms. Lane."

'It was incredibly stupid of me!' Zion facepalmed in his mind, 'I could have just met him at Daily planet. That would have saved so much of my time.'

Lois Lane smiled at Zion's shocked expression. She had entered the coffee shop to grab her usual drink before going to her office. As she neared the counter to place her order, she couldn't help but overhear Zion mumbling about meeting superman. Curious as she was, she decided to talk to this young man.

"You are welcome Let's work together to make it happen," Lois replied.

Zion yawned as he mumbled. "Yeah, That's sound...cool."

Lois noticed Zions lack of energy. "Are you feeling alright there? You seem a bit tired."

"Yeah, just a bit tired, you know? long night. I didn't plan my time for coming to Metropolis, casing me to get here in the dead of the night," Zion explained as he rubbed his eyes.

Lois thought that Zion was too enthusiastic about meeting superman and arrived too early. "Well, if you really need a pick-me-up, a good cup of coffee would do wonders."

Zion gave a appreciative nod. "I already had two of those, Ms. Lane. I just need time to reboot."

Lois smiled at his answer. "Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out if you want to meet Superman. He's a great guy to talk to."

"I will, Ms. Lane. I will," Zion gave her a warm smiled.
