25 Who are you?

After I'd changed back into the regular uniform and we were free to go, I tracked down Supergirl from earlier. She was just leaving the entrance as I rounded the corner- "Hey, wait up!" I said while running after her.

She turned to stare at me- "Can I help you?"

Now, let's see if I can figure out whether she's a character from the story I don't know about, a transmigrator like me or if me being Doomsday necessitated this world making a version of superman as a middle finger to my existence.

"Hello! We didn't have many opportunities to talk earlier so I was hoping you'd be willing to have a chat with me? It's not often I meet others with abilities similar to mine and I wanted to compare if it's not too much hassle?" I mean it was true but it still sounded like a rather flimsy reason.

It seems it was good enough since she mostly agreed- "Hmmm… Okay, however our abilities are rather destructive so if we'll be comparing them we'll need permission to use one of the training grounds."

Shouldn't be an issue… I hope- "Hold on, I'll ask one of the teachers." I ran back inside and found Aizawa walking deeper into the school- perfect! "Aizawa!" He flinched when I called him… probably just got scolded for allowing us to break some equipment, poor guy.

He turned to me- "What?"

Well he's certainly not in the best mood… though I don't think I'd recognize him if he was happy. "Hey! Is it alright if myself and… " what's her name again? Uhhhh- "Flying girl" close enough- "use one of the training fields?"

He arched an eyebrow at me- "flying girl?"

"Yeah look, I'm not good with names, can we use the field?" Now that brought a small smile to his face… and of course it looked sadistic- "what for?"

"We have some similar abilities and wanted to compare notes" Some notes too destructive to really be shared elsewhere.

He deflated a bit at my answer… What were you expecting? He still helped me out though- "Go ask Cementoss. He'll be the one fixing things once you both inevitably destroy them, he should still be in the cafeteria if you're lucky."

"Thanks Aizawa! Next time Rumi tries to fight you, tell her the peacock's come to collect- she'll know what it means and leave you alone." I yelled while running to the heavenly food hall- feels almost disrespectful to call a place with such good food a cafeteria.

The peacock thing was from a while ago when I was still learning the language and asked her for a translation- instead of telling me about a bird she thought I was asking about the birds and the bees, long story short it turned into an inside joke and she'd be wheezing laughing at the memory of my reaction so hard she'd forget to fight.

And cafet- beautiful food hall reached! Cementoss was halfway through a sandwich when I slid to a stop next to him- "Hey Cementoss! Can I use the training ground?" He was startled enough to nearly fumble his meal.

He made sure to grab it and give me the stink-eye… before sighing and saying- "Fine, sure… but next time, just a tap on the shoulder would be better." He told me about a vacant area we could use. Awesome!

"Thanks!" I ran back to the entrance to get whats-her-face and figure out whether I'd screwed the timeline. She was still standing where I left her, after telling her to follow me we went to the empty training field.

"So which shall we compare first?" She said as we entered.

"How about I show you some of what I can do and you tell me to stop whenever you have something similar?" I figure she's like me and still has a lot she hasn't used yet, I can also check if she fits all the criteria to be a kryptonian.

"Okay I know I don't look any different but I'm currently using x-ray vision to see your organs (and check for anything majorly different from human biology), can you do this?" A major superman power to start. Everyone seems to think it's perverted, I'd pay to see someone get the power thinking they'd be able to see through clothes only to see a bunch of organs and muscle!

"I cannot" Plus 1 point toward her possibly being from this world.

"Okay, how about this?" I looked to the side and fired lasers from my eyes toward the ground, it only lasted a second but I could see it went pretty damn far into the concrete.

She considered for a moment before saying- "I am capable of this- though mine appear quite different from your own" Aaaand the points right back towards kryptonian.

"Different how? Can you demonstrate?" If she's got supes red beams then she's either living up to her nickname of Supergirl or she's a knockoff like homelander… I mean she could still be from further in the manga but I'd doubt something that close to another established character would fly… unless I somehow caused it?

Without facing away from me she fired the beams, I thought she may have wanted to kill me before I saw them veer off at a sharp right angle away from me… and then again before hitting the floor.

Veering beams… Are you fucking serious? Welp, now I REALLY wish she was just a kryptonian ripoff. Seems like instead whatever got me here only gave out villain power-sets. Those were Darkseid beams if I've ever seen em.

"Tell me, did you hold back during the quirk assessment?" If she had the powers of Darkseid, even an avatar of him would absolutely crush my current self. If she was Darkseid then did she have his true body in another dimension or something? The one that could destroy all of reality simply by existing?!

"I didn't, I put my all into the tests." I had a strong suspicion she was telling me bullshit… lets just see if my next words prompt any reaction.

"Have you heard of a character called Darkseid?" I asked this question while mentally preparing myself to battle her until the point I could match her strength and beat her; enjoying my time at a hero school is fine and dandy… but if she's from my world and freaks out at being discovered...

"I'm not overly familiar with the character you're referring to… however I believe I understand our situation now." Our situation she says… she's not making any aggressive moves but that line sounds ominous as hell and I'd raised my guard even more upon hearing it.

"Ours?" I asked. Has she pieced together that we were both from a different world?

"Yes… ours. Hello… Adrian." As she said my old name, her skin changed into a reflective silver sheen, which then morphed her head into that of an ant… one with 3 spikes coming from its head… the Queen.

My breath hitched and I felt a fear I thought I'd suppressed years ago arise once again. I froze while looking at her, the memories of her raw strength… of her intelligence… of her voice. In this new world I'd felt fear, sure… but nothing like this.

I stood petrified for a bit, I think she was expecting a response and got annoyed when I didn't say anything- "Adrian? Are you alright?" Fuck no I wasn't! And what's with the silver body and shapeshifting?! It's official! My mind broke upon seeing the blackhole and hearing the Queen speak, everything in this world has simply been my mind struggling to create a last happy memory and-

*THWACK*

Before I fell deeper into my own depressing thoughts she'd walked up to me and slapped my forehead! With an Antenna! It didn't hurt but it did succeed in distracting me for a moment.

"What was that for!" I indignantly said, momentarily forgetting who I was talking to before remembering and promptly shitting a brick.

"You seemed distracted, I remember this always working on the drones." I mean I can't argue with the result but I'm still scared as hell of her- less fear of physical violence or anything… much worse kind of fear than that.

If breathing was mandatory I'm sure I'd be having trouble getting enough air, it took me a bit but I eventually gathered my composure to speak- "H-How did you end up in this world? Why can you turn silver and change shape? Do you even know anything about this world?"

She collected her thoughts before- "I have no idea Adrian."

"…Are you serious?" Well there goes the dramatic tension… "The names Alex now, Alex Usagiyama." I guess it's better to have the evil you know instead of the one you don't.
