Supergirl - Unconscious

When the morning Sun shines on the city, the Girl of Steel is already up and ready for what she considers as her duty. Clark is unfortunately away for some important work, meaning for the time being, the Girl of Steel is on her own. Does it changes things a bit? Definitely. Having literally the Superman in your corner makes things a lot more easier. But is Krypton's last daughter ready to take on the challenge? You bet it.

Still, Kara has absolutely no idea what is coming her way. Sensing Superman's unavailability, an Alien force has chosen to cleverly exploit the clear weakness, looking to do what they have always wanted to do when the planet's greatest force is away.

Excellent strategy. But not so much when Supergirl is still around. She stands tall like an impenetrable wall protecting the Earth. She's alone and short-handed, but she won't be going down without a fight, and she won't be going down before taking all her foes down to the pits of the hell.

The battle begins, and as expected, it's fierce and destructive. Sensing the potential destruction, Kara smartly takes the fight to space, and it is, in every manner, brutal for both sides. Times come when it seems as if the villain will prevail, but Supergirl doesn't falter. She's the symbol of hope, after all. She buckles down, falls hard at times, but every time, she manages to rise again, her eyes burning with determination. She won't fail this home. Finally, her resilience prevails, and she sends her foes packing, crushed and vanquished in convincing manner, making sure they won't dare to turn their evil eye towards her beloved Earth anytime soon.

But the moment she turns to return back to Earth and as the adrenaline of the battle wears off, the cost of the victory shows itself. Kara has won, but... the cost is great. She has taken just too many hits on her own, and even the Girl of Steel has her limits. And now, she's completely exhausted herself and her incredible abilities.

Supergirl tries to rush, tries to reach home before her body fails her, but it's too late. She's spent, and now, her body is in no shape or condition to obey even her most basic demands. In a matter of seconds, Kara's eyes flutter close, and her senses desert her. Kara falls down all the way from outer space to the streets like a meteoroid, causing a massive crash and forming a large crater around her.

And at the center of all the rubble and debris lies the girl who's given it all, given her body and her heart and her soul, everything to protect the Earth and its people. Her body is riddled with numerous injuries, scars and bruises, many of them still fresh and bleeding. The unnatural, ugly manner in which she's lying indicates serious damage to multiple joints and bones. Her hair is a mess, fanning around her face in chaotic way and veiling her beautiful face at spots, along with the scars on it. Her chest rises and falls with each steady, if not labored breath, the only tangible sign that there is still life in her. She's been, truly, pushed to her limits, and almost lost her life in the process.

But that's what Kara has always been ready to. Put everything on line, risk losing everything to protect this planet she's no real connection to. Because now, this is her home, and these are her people. And now, in her state of unconsciousness, the young heroine hopes desperately that the Earth won't fail her. That the humans won't fail her now. Not only because she needs their help more than ever, but also because that's the true test of her faith on them, the litmus test which will prove if Earth can ever actually be Kara Zor El's true home, or not.

And while she may be out of her senses at the moment, Kara would desperately hope that the answer would be affirmative. Will her trust be proven right though? Only time will tell.
