DC Universe Superboy/Supergirl - 2.14 - Visiting Hours
Being Kryptonian, I don't actually need to sleep. But there are some nights, like tonight, where closing my eyes and relaxing brings a sense of peace and serenity to myself. I don't want to think about everything that's going on right now. I haven't seen Chris in what seems like forever, even though he's only been missing for a couple of days. No ones seen him at school, and Clark hasn't seen him at the Fortress either. I'm getting a strange sense of déjà vu. Just one more thing to add unnecessary stress into my life. Exams are coming up soon, and my job has been pretty stressful recently with the increase of customers, but the lack of employees to take their orders. The moment that I do finally close my eyes, I'm brought back to the days before Krypton's destruction, when I was only a child. I was supposed to join the Science Guild, like my mother and father before me. Tali Zar, my best friend at the time, was destined to join the Military Guild. Everything planned out for us, like all other Kryptonians, since birth in the Genesis Chamber. What it didn't account for however, was me meeting Tan-On for the first time. A boy who was my age, born into a Rankless family, who was often ostracized by others due to his families status. The Rankless are those not part of a guild, and as such, are treated poorly by those in the guilds. But they have dreams, just like everyone else. It isn't fair to judge them for not joining a certain guild. Some of the best days of my life were spent with Tan-On. My feelings for him developed as time went on, wanting to be more than just friends, even though I was bound to someone else. I remember this night.. The night we took a Skimmer for a joyride throughout Astro City, seeing all the sights this beautiful city had to offer. I can't stop myself from smiling, and giggling at all of his corny jokes. I could stay in this moment forever, but it isn't long before I'm pulled out of this deep sleep by the ringing of my alarm going off.
After getting dressed, I can't help but check inside Chris' room hoping that something's changed. Nothing has though, as his room is still the same mess as it was yesterday. Simon's tried tracking Serling Roquette down, but so far, no luck. Alicia's taking to the streets as Flux, hoping that someone will know something we don't, but even after the broken bones, and bruised bodies, she's no closer to finding answers. So that leads me to the one person I really didn't want to ever see again, after all the pain he's caused. Harvest. While Clark was initially hesitant to tell me where Harvest's being held, mostly out of fear for me, he eventually gave in, texting me the address of the facility, in Midvale of all places. I'll stop by there, before going to school today. I notice that dad's already gone, as his shoes aren't on the shoerack while I'm walking down the stairs, into the living room. Guess he made me omelets today, going by the smell emanating from the microwave. Taking it out of the microwave, I sit down at the kitchen table, gobbling it down as fast as I can, since I'm kind of in a rush today. It isn't long before I'm in costume, and out the door, locking it behind me, as I make my way to the facility.
-------------------------
Unknown Detention Facility, Midvale
Upon landing, the guard outside greets leading me inside moments later. From there, the security chief leads me to where they're holding him. It's strange, seeing him without his hood and mask on. As he's still Simon, only older and evil, from an alternate future. Yeah, multiple timelines.. Still a weird concept to wrap my head around. The chief leaves, along with
"When they said I'd be receiving a visitor, I wasn't expecting it to be you, Kara Zor-El. Chris maybe, but you? Not likely." He laughs, clearly amused by me coming here.
"Chris is gone. But from that smirk you're giving me, you already know that, don't you?" I question.
"Ah, so the Pirate's got him. January already huh... You lose all sense of time in this place. What seems like hours, is days. Anyways, why would I tell you anything? Since after all, he murdered Feyris, amongst thousands of other people." He sneers in response.
"He would never do such a thing. Besides, that was your timeline, Simon. Your future, not ours. But if you don't give me something, maybe this city will turn out just as bad, with evil clones running rampant and all. While you may not care for metahumans, aliens, and gods, you still clearly care for Feyris. So please, tell me where Chris is, so that we can protect Feyris from what's coming." I insist, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.
"I'm the only one who can protect her!" He yells, his voice booming through the bars of his cell. After that sudden outburst, he calms himself back down, and speaks up once more.
"Now, getting to the point. I honestly don't believe you can protect her. Like I'm sure you've heard recently, everything the two of you touch dies. So with that being said, I will surprisingly tell you where your deadbeat brother is. On one condition." He says mockingly.
"And that is?"
"Feyris comes by for a visit! You see, it's been soo lonely this past month, and it would be nice to see her again." He responds, with a devilish grin forming.
"After what you've done? There's no way she'll come here!"
"Well I guess you're out of luck then! Your brother, stuck in a groundhog day of hell, watching everyone he cares about die over and over, until there's nothing left of his emotions. Just a husk of his former self. But what do I know, right? I'm just from some alternate future! Tick, tock, the clock's ticking! Better hurry up!"
"Tell me what I need to know, and I'll do my best to bring her here."
"Nope! That's not how this is going to work. You bring her here and we'll talk for a long while, and then, once I've said what I needed to say, and only then, I'll tell you where he is. Until that happens, my lips are sealed!" He taunts, knowing he has the upper hand.
"Fine. But you better stay true to that. Otherwise--"
"You'll beat me to a blood pulp, thereby almost killing me? Sounding more like your brother every day. It's a wonder why I ever had a crush on you.. Besides, you wouldn't dare do that. That would be tarnishing the hope the House of El represents. Also, it would prove that I was right all along. Bye for now, Supergirl!" He responds, interrupting me before I can finish my train of thought, as I start walking away from his cell, signaling the guards to come back. Just great.. To find my brother, I somehow have to convince Feyris to talk to this monster. Though, this could've gone a lot worse, I guess. Better get going to school, because otherwise, I'll be late.
