Chapter 3: 2.1

Kara watched as the medical robot worked on her missing leg, psions may not have used anesthesia on their victims but they did keep some to use on themselves in case of accidents so she barely felt anything as the robot sliced open her healed knee and started connecting the prosthetic circuitry to her nerves.

The truth was she wasn't really worried about the robot, despite being somewhat backwards psions were still more advanced than humans and even their worst machines made modern hospitals look incompetent, the only reason so many of their test subjects died was because they usually didn't care to keep them alive.

Finding out how much trauma an individual was capable of withstanding before death was just part of the experiment, no she was worried about the piece of kryptonite laying in the medical tray close by, an unfortunate necessity if she wanted the medical instruments to pierce her kryptonian skin.

At least the remaining psions had finally been killed last night, Kara didn’t know how she felt about it, on one hand she still hated them but, on the other, she knew her cousin wouldn’t aprove.

 

The control room may have been a wreck but Kara still managed to send new orders to the security robots on the ship so they had started hunting the monsters down,  it had been na impulsive action made while filled with anger and adrenaline but she couldn’t bring herself to regreat it.

Despite her initial trouble dealing with technology not based on crystals Kara had been raised by scientists genetically engineered to be smart and had her memories as Jace for help so she got familiar with their devices fairly easy.

It had been almost a week since she and Koriand'r had escaped and taken over the ship and they were still in the vega system, their ship was massive but geared heavily towards research and, since they were never supposed to leave the system anyway, had very little in the way of movement.

Turning her head away from the poisonous rock Kara looked at her new leg once more, it wasn't very pretty and wouldn't hold up to the kind of stress her own body could take but it was stronger than steel and would allow her to stand just fine without having to rely on her flight, she had lived two lifetimes being only as strong as a normal human so having a leg be only stronger than steel wasn't all that hard to swallow.

It was also fitted with a hidden plasma weapon and a short range personal shield capable of blocking a few heavy caliber projectiles and a dozen energy shots, it could even withstand half a dozen hits from Koriand'r because if she was gonna have a prosthetic limb its gotta have hidden weapons in it.

Her eye was a little harder, what could she put on a bionic eye that she didn't already have as a Kryptonian? Instead she had just put on an eyepatch and accepted that she wouldn't be getting a new eye anytime soon.

Finishing the operation she tested her new leg moving the individual toes and then the joints before putting it against the floor and getting up without any problems. Flying was awesome but she had already started to miss just walking around.

The leg itself was made from an extremely heavy dark gray metal but no wider than her own leg, all its mechanical parts were hidden behind a metal shield that still granted her 80% of her feet movement, it wasn't perfect and was still far behind kryptonian technology but it would do.

Kara and Koriand'r were alone on the huge spaceship, there had been other prisoners before their escape but when they started flying towards the command room the psions had decided to execute every other test subject least they manage to get reinforcements, Kara refused to blame herself for their actions but it still hurt to know she could have saved some lives if only she had been paying more attention to her vision or hearing.

Walking away from the medical bay Kara couldn't help looking at her new leg from time to time as she made her way to the docking area, she found Koriand'r carrying a giant crate of tools from inside the ship over her head and the girls face opened up into a giant smile "Joy! Congratulations on the new leg my friend!"

Koriand'r smile was contagious and Kara couldn't help but return one of her own "Thanks princess, want some help with that"

"No need, it is just a few gears for the mechanical robots and not very heavy, yes?"

"I suppose" Kara said still unused to the fact a ton of metal wasn't heavy, by Rao a hundred tons may not be heavy for her right now "You're looking better"

And she was, Kara hadn't noticed before but a week of good food and rest coupled with her increased metabolism had caused Koriand'r to recover at a prodigious speed bulking up until she went from looking like a beautiful but anorexic teenager to a very fit young woman with obvious muscles and great curves.

"Thank you" she said and laid the crate down so the maintenance robots could get to it, thankfully while Komand'r had laid waste to the remaining ships when she escaped she hadn't left them completely beyond repair and, by focusing on only one of them they had already managed to get it working, in only a few more hours the robots would be finished with the essential repairs and they could leave this cursed place once and for all "Friend Kara we have gone through battle together, shared the breaking of the feast and lunch for days, please, why have you continued to refer to me by title?"

"I… suppose I just didn't think about it" Kara confessed, a little embarrassed, Krypton didn't have royalty but her previous life had taught her to treat royals with respect "How about I just call you Kori then?"

"That is more than acceptable" she nodded and then floated up "that should be enough to finish the maintenance I believe, I am going to take one last sunbath"

Kori floated away while Kara sat down on another empty crate and continued to play with her new prosthetic deploying the shield or practicing taking out the small handgun hidden inside, when she finally reached earth it would probably be full of people who knew her cousin's weakness so it pays to be ready.

A few hours later the mechanical bots beeped and started entering the repaired ship, it looked terrible with patches of different colors all over the hull, some of its guns missing and propellers from two different models but it would work and keep those inside safe while the robots continued to repair the non-vital parts inside so Kara sent Kori a message and started gathering her things.

They had managed to find what remained of kryptonian technology on the ship as well as all kryptonite which they kept in a lead box Kara had created by soldering loose pieces of lead gathered from around the ship with her heat vision, soon they were both comfortably inside the ship and watching the research center from a few million kilometers away.

Kara took a strange sense of pleasure as she watched the reactor of the large research station overload and explode causing the ship to break in at least a dozen pieces while destroying all psion research and everything they had achieved at that place.

"In Tamaran we do not like to live in the past or hold grudges but I must confess I am glad to see that place gone" Kori said as she hugged Kara's neck from behind, finding and giving support.

They watched quietly while their ship picked up speed away from the station until even Kara's enhanced vision couldn't make up the pieces anymore, then she tapped Kori's arm to be released and turned towards her "Are you sure you don't want to be left in Tamaran?"

"Correct, the citadel is still in control of my home, to return now would only make my parents have to turn me away once again" she started to float away slowly but Kara grabbed her by the arm.

"Come with me to earth then" she told her and dragged the orange girl away from the window "I'm sure we can get some help for your people there"

"Truly? Earthlings must be mighty warriors if they are willing to face the citadel just because someone asked"

"Ah… well you'd be surprised what people would do for a hot girl" Kara laughed, kryptonians didn't really have romance but she had been a teenage male in her previous life, she still remembered how horny she had been "As for being great warriors… they have some but the majority is very far from a tamaranean"

"Then please, how can they help me fight"

"Well let me explain a little about their heroes…"

It took nearly a week for the ship to leave the Vega system but after that the maintenance droids inside the ship finally finished fixing the ship's drive causing them to travel much faster arriving in the solar system in only another two weeks despite the huge distance between them.

Kara and Kori spent some of the time sparring between each other with the golden princess teaching Kara how to fight while flying and how leverage worked when you had no need to keep your feet on the ground, Kara didn't become an expert in less than a month but at least she was no longer restricted to ramming things at fast speeds and managed to get her strength under control so she didn't kill everyone she touched.

Kara also spent at least an hour every day teaching the girl about earth culture and what to expect when they arrived, trying to have her remember most humans were too fragile for her bear hugs and frowned at too much exposed skin.

It took only a moment for their ship to land on the dark side of the moon, Kara didn't want to risk getting detected by any villain like Luthor or Vandal savage, and she supposed she wasn't ready to meet her cousin yet, not without knowing which version of him she would find, Kal El hardly ever went bad on the comics she had read but when he did it was always bad, Injustice and justice lords bad.

Grabbing a bag filled with gold and platinum she had found while passing through the asteroid belt she put the ship under camouflage and took a small tank of oxygen, ordinarily she thought she could hold her breath to make the travel between earth and the moon but while her lung had healed from being harvested by psions it wasn't working at full capacity and she didn't want to risk it, Kori herself didn't even need to breath.

"We're here" Kara said to her companion holding her own bag of precious metals.

"Excitement! Eagerness! I can not wait to finally meet an earthling, do you think they will like me?"

"Nobody could dislike you Kori, it's impossible" Kara laughed and took a deep breath before holding it in and flying away from the ship, Kori quickly followed her.

She took some distance from the hidden ship and then really let her power flow. For the first time she started flying as fast as she could quickly gaining speed, in less than a minute she had left the moon's atmosphere and had to stop for a half a minute so Kori could catch up to her again, pulling out her computer she tipped "Will I have to wait for you?"

A few seconds latter Kori tipped back "No, outside an atmosphere I will be able to follow you much easier"

Giving her a nod Kara flew away, accelerating from zero to a hundred percent in a single instant, the cold of space didn't really affect her and she was holding her breath fairly easily when Kori flew besides her and bumped her shoulders making her lose control and tumble through space for a second, regaining her orientation Kara saw her friend waiting for her and laughing quietly before she flew away leaving a trail of light from her hair.

"Oh she didn't" Kara thought and narrowed her eyes as her figure quickly gained distance, it took her less than a second to take out her communicator at super speed and time again "It's ON!" then she started giving it her all flying faster than a bullet, much faster, the planet itself seemed to become bigger after each blink of her eye, soon filling her entire vision, then she tackled Kori and started tickling her, Princess Koriand'r of tamaran was Very Ticklish.

Kara took her victory with grace leaving the squirming golden girl laying in the air she took out her oxygen tank and took a few breaths before putting it away, then she lifted her nose at the recovered princess and smirked, Kori pouted then they returned to their journey quickly entering the atmosphere making sure they weren't flying fast enough to gather visible heat.

Kara may have lost Krypton but she had been an earthling in her previous life and still had fond memories of the planet, in a way, she was finally home.
