No one ever talked about the end of Krypton except in science class, as some event that was bound to happen at some future time so far ahead in time it was difficult to fathom. It took Kara's father an hour to convince her that he was serious, that he wasn't making some cruel jape: the end of her home, the end of her life, the end of everything and everyone she held dear. The doom of Krypton. <br/><br/>When she refused to get into some space ship, to leave her family and her friends, her father painlessly slipped her into unconciousness and locked her into the capsule himself. Sometimes Kara dreams about her mother crying, and sometimes Kara isn't so sure it's a dream, but a memory. Instead of immediately reaching it's destination like her cousin's space ship, Kara's is thrown off course by the explosion of Krypton--40 years off course. When she lands outside of Gotham City she finds herself an alien to a strange world.<br/><br/>Kara is quickly recovered and taken in by her cousin, Kal-El, and his wife, Diana. On this alien planet her cousin is a God, a monarch ruling over a vast empire. Though Kara finds a high standard of living, justice is swift and immediate in Superman's reign, treason rooted out and extinguished at it's source. With his House of Steel, Superman begins the long process of assimilating Kara Zor-El into Kara Kent, of Earth. Though he uses Kryptonian technology to aid in Kara's Terran education, her cousin forbids Kara from calling herself 'Zor-El', or calling him 'Kal-El'. Aliens are banned by the Great Houses, he explains, and they are simple folk from Kansas. Her crashlanding on the planet is quickly covered up, and though it feels wrong, Kara plays along.<br/><br/>It's only when Kara begins to show flashes of equaling her baby cousin in raw power does Superman decide to isolate Kara, explaining she wasn't ready to go out on her own with villains like the Batman ready to strike. If Superman knew Bruce Wayne, Superman knew the man would try to twist Kara to his own fanatical goals. Inside Metropolis, Kara would be safe from manipulation.<br/><br/>Batman never came for Supergirl, though her cousin's paranoia about the man had launched Kara into a mission to discover what she could on him. More importantly, Kara's isolation had unintended consequences: Diana's seduction of Kara, and their plot to overthrow Superman. When suddenly one day Superman vanished, Kara was as concerned and upset as any in the House of Steel. Though the agents of House Steel continue their search, nearly a year later and no sign of Superman has yet to turn up. <br/><br/>Supergirl has recently become a public figure, a member of House Steel, and some have rumored the lover taken by the new Head of House Steel, Princess Diana. And unknown to to those within the House of Steel, Kara has begun to talk, quietly, to select members of the other Houses.<br/><br/> <br/><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><br/><br/>Takes Superman's place as 'biggest cape on the block' following Kal-El's dissapearance/death.<br/><br/></div></div>
