It wasn't easy being a hero. The constant world crisis, that seemed to happen every other week, the new super villain wanting to make a name for themselves, and the pay honestly just plane sucked.

There were so few days where a hero can relax, to some that thought never enters their minds, yet for one girl she was enjoying her off time immensely. Clothed in her blue shirt and red skirt, a red cape billowed in the wind. An iconic red 'S' on her chest that anyone would recognize.

Her name to the world was Supergirl, to those close, Kara Kent. The famed female superhero was enjoying one her off days flying over the clouds with a content smile on her pretty face. Her tan skin and blond hair would make any guy turn their head to see her and a small part of her liked it.

She opened her baby blue eyes and smirked as she rocketed through the sky creating a sonic boom. She flew over the world with a content smile. She loved the feeling of flying, it was a rush, a thrill that she just could never get old off.

Unknown to the heroine she was just flying over a small English town when she picked up on something from her super hearing.

She blinked brightly, then sighed. It sounded like someone was screaming. That meant her time off would have to be cut short. 'Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.' She shrugged and took off down in the direction of the scream.

Inside a decent sized house on Number Four Privet Drive, Vernon Dursley was angry. First he gets yelled at at work. Then he comes home to the freak breaking a vase. And THEN the boy has the audacity to fix it with his freaky stuff in front of him! And he had the nerve to try to invoke his sympathy by looking scared?!

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" He exclaimed.

"Sorry? SORRY?!" Vernon snapped. "SORRY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH, BOY! YOU'VE GONE AND DONE WHAT YOU WERE SPECIFICALLY TOLD NOT TO DO!"

Harry backed away from his uncle scared. He didn't mean too. He just wanted to help, besides he had broken that vase many times and had fixed it with his freaky stuff. He started to tremble as his uncle approached him.

"I think you need a reminder of your place FREAK!" he shouted cracking his knuckles.

Just outside the house the girl of tomorrow lowered herself down to the ground. She gave the town a once over and raised a brow. 'This…is freaky.' She thought unnerved. 'They all look the same…please don't be a cult, please don't be a cult.' She prayed.

She looked around and then heard the sound of someone yelling and her eyes narrowed. She walked over to one of the houses. She covered her head as a wave of nausea washed over her She staggered lightly before righting herself. She looked around with wide eyes. "What was-"

"YOU STUPID FREAK!"

She snapped her head to the house with wide eyes then narrowed them dangerously. She used her x-ray vision and decided to look into the hose to see exactly what was happening. While she did respect others privacy she did not like the sounds she was hearing inside the house and as a hero thought she needed to know what was happening to help save a life.

Her eyes widened as she saw a man punch a little boy. Not a slap, a full on PUNCH SQUARE IN THE NOSE THAT SNAPPED THE BOY'S HEAD BACKWARDS AND CAUSED HIM TO FALL ON HIS BACK!

She knew full-well what was going on in there, and she did NOT approve. Eyes narrowed and hands on her hips, she flew to the door and began to knock, careful not to break it.

"Back in the cupboard, boy, NOW." She heard the man hiss. Her anger grew...But she needed to stay calm. She crossed her arms and glared forward sternly.

The door slowly pulled open, and Vernon glared. "I don't want whatever you're selling." He said bluntly.

"Good, cause I'm not selling anything to you."

His eyes soon widened in shock and he paled instantly as he finally realized who he was talking too. The famed girl of tomorrow had her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes narrowed into an angry glare directed right at the man.

"Oh…uh…it's you…" he mumbled the words getting lodged in his throat. He was not in the dark about the famed heroes of the world, and like a certain balled headed billionaire hated those with powers, thinking they were freaks. Yet he also valued his head and would never say anything in front of them.

"Yeah me. Now please step aside as I check on the person you were hurting." She said with narrowed eyes.

His eyes grew wide and he tried to slam the door shut but was pushed aside by the girl of steel making him stagger to the ground as she walked into the house.

"Now, wait, you can't come in here, I haven't dusted in forever and it's filthy, please come back another day-"

"Stop." She said sternly, turning around with her hands on her hips. "Just stop right now. I don't care what you say. I KNOW what happened. I SAW it with my own two eyes. You punched him in the face. He's a child. A TODDLER!"

"Actually he's five..."

"So you abused him so much he's not even growing anymore?" Vernon said nothing.

The girl huffed and turned away from him and looked around to try and find him. Using her sensitive hearing she heard the sounds of soft sobs coming from…a cupboard under the stairs.

She gave the man a dark glare making him back away. The girl of tomorrow walked over to the cupboard and gently knocked on the door. She heard the quiet gasp of fear. "Little boy it's okay…come out please." She said soothingly to him.

"Don't waste your breath." The big man said smugly causing her to scowl at him. "The freak knows you will hurt him. He knows the moment he walks out that door he will get a beating of a lifetime." He said darkly.

Kara just stared at the man dumbfounded. "The hell is wrong with you!" she shouted at him.

"It's true!" He shouted back. "If anything you should be taking him to those jails of yours for the criminals, place him in the one with the clown!" he shouted a dark look passing over his eyes.

The heartbreaking sob from behind the door made the girl of tomorrow tighten her hand into a fist.

"HE'S not going to be the one locked away with Joker." She snarled angrily. "I'll make sure you become his new cellmate...Whatever he does to you isn't my problem." Vernon paled.

"You're bluffing." He said with false bravado. "You can't get me locked up with that...that THING."

"I can...And I WILL." She replied coldly. "Now don't you dare say another word or I might lose my temper. And neither of us want that." Vernon scowled. But knew he was beaten.

Kara carefully grabbed the cupboard door, and as gently as she could, pulled it off. She gazed inside...

The smell was horrible. The combined scent of wastes and urine was enough to make the heroine gag. Siting in the far corner however is what made the heroes heart hurt. A small child was curled up into a ball and was trying to not be noticed.

He looked up when the door opened and Kara gasped at the greenest eyes she had ever seen. She gave him a small smile. "Hey, buddy." She said soothingly. "Do you know who I am?" she asked him.

He did not respond immediately but soon nodded his head slowly.

Kara gave him a soft smile. "That's good buddy. Do you know why I'm here?" she asked him.

Harry again nodded his head slowly.

"Awesome." She extended her hand out to him but to her shock he tried to push himself further back into the cupboard.

"Hey, what's wrong buddy?"

"You…are going to hurt me…heroes hurt bad people…I'm a bad person…" he mumbled softly.

Kara's eyes narrowed as she turned to look at Vernon hatefully. "Have you no shame?" She spat. Vernon said nothing. Kara shook her head and turned back to the boy. "Now listen..." She spoke softly. "What have you ever done that was bad?" The boy sniffled.

"I...I do freaky things a lot...I turned Uncle Vernon's tie orange today..." He whimpered.

"That's not evil. That's an accident." Kara said softly. "Don't be so upset over an honest mistake."

"But I do stuff like it all the time...I'm bad..."

"No. You're NOT."

He flinched back at her tone making her sigh softly. "Listen buddy. You're not bad, I've seen my fair share of bad and you are far from bad." She said softly.

He looked up at her and she smiled softly when she saw the small glimmer of hope in his eyes. "I…am?" his voice was so soft.

She nodded with a soft smile. "Yes. You look like a good boy!" she said cheerfully.

"Good boy…me?" he asked his voice more hopeful.

Kara smiled at him and tried to reach her hand out to him again. This time he did not back away. "Grab my hand buddy." She said softly.

Harry stared at her hand for a moment debating within himself. He looked up at her with hope yet uncertainly. "Promise…to not hurt me…" he mumbled softly.

Kara gazed at him saddened to hear a child ask her that. "I promise." She said with conviction.

He hesitated for a moment...But he trusted her. She made a promise...And so, he timidly, slowly, reached out his tiny little hand towards her. "That's it." She cooed, picking him up gently. The little boy squeaked. She giggled. "Aw..." She cooed at the cute sound. He looked at her with confused eyes.

"Wh-What am I gonna do now...?" He asked. Kara smiled.

"We'll talk about that after I get you out of here." She replied.

"Oh...Okay..."

She stood up with him cradled in her arms. She turned around and placed her finger to the communicator in her ear. "Watchtower this is Supergirl, come in." she spoke out loud.

"This is watchtower, what's the problem Supergirl?" the dull voice of the Martian Manhunter replied back.

"I need a police force at a Number Four Privet Drive." She said rocking the boy in her arms with a content smile.

"Is there a reason?" he asked.

"The abuse of an adorable little boy" she said poking said boys nose making him giggle lightly.

"…Excuse me?"

"They were abusing a child J'onn" she said sternly. "I came in and have him, I just need a police force to take the trash to jail."

J'onn was silent for a moment. "Of course." He finally said. "I will notify the authorities shortly."

"Thanks." Kara replied. "I'm gonna get him medical attention right now."

"That would be best...But be careful flying with him."

"Am I ever not careful?

"Need I remind you of the many, many crashes you've had that resulted in your humiliation and degradation?"

Kara blushed beet red. "Hey! That was when I was starting out! I am way better now!" she defended herself.

"…That was last week."

Kara pouted. "…Shut up and call the police please!" she wined.

She knew he was smirking when he replied back. "They're on their way."

Kara nodded and turned around to glare at the fat man who was trying to sneak out the door. He was lifted off the ground with a yelp and tried to struggle away but was useless.

"Super hearing remember? You aren't the quietest person in the world." She said sarcastically.

She carried the fat man with one hand while cradling the child in the other. She gave the man a glare and tossed him onto a chair. He landed with a huff and glared up at her.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"

Kara scoffed. "No right to what? Make sure you get what you deserve for your blatant abuse?" She said sternly. "Because you know what? I think I have EVERY right." Vernon gritted his teeth.

"YOU'RE A B***!" He roared.

"Now you watch your mouth!" Kara exclaimed, covering Harry's ears.

"IT'S MY HOUSE, I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT!"

"Vernon? What's going on?" A woman's voice said.

Jun 8Kara looked over at the stairs and she raised a brow at the walking horse that walked down the steps. The woman's eyes widened when she saw the caped hero then narrowed into a glare when she saw who she was holding.

"So the freak has been found huh?" she asked darkly.

Kara narrowed her eyes at the woman and held the trembling child closer. "That's right." She said sternly. "And you two are going away for a long time!"

The woman only scoffed. "We will be just find. After all we were doing the world a civic duty."

"Civic duty? You were beating him!"

"Exactly. A freak like him needs to learn his place in the world. Below us normal people." She said darkly. "He knows this, he understands this. That is his world. He will never raise his…freakish powers against us normal people ever again." She smirked darkly. "We win."

Kara's eye twitched in anger. The little boy whimpered and teared up, closing his eyes.

Seeing this, Kara felt a powerful feeling build up inside her chest.

Anger.

And so, she slapped Petunia across the face. HARD.

The woman was sent flying through the wall of the house and into the back yard. Kara was breathing hard her eyes glowing red.

"YOU-"

Her head snapped over to the fat man and he took a step back at the angry glowing red eyes staring right into his own. She hovered over to the fat man making him stagger back but he soon walked back into a wall.

Kara griped his neck and lifted him up with ease. Her eyes giving off steam. "Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't burn your brain to ash." She whispered in a tone so cold that it sent shivers down the man's spine.

Harry stared up at her with wide scared eyes. He did not want to see his family hurt! He also did not want to see his savor mad! He reached up and tugged her cape slightly. Her head snapped down and he flinched back at her burning red eyes.

He took a deep gulp. "Please stop…"

"What?" she asked.

"Stop…heroes don't hurt normal people…" he whispered.

Her grip on the man's throat tightened making him try and grasp for air. "You don't understand. He needs…"

"Please…please…don't become them…please don't be them!" He begged her.

Kara snapped out of it, eyes wide. She stood on the ground and tightened her hold on the child.

She had almost completely lost control of herself...And lost her morality...

Shaking her head, she flew up, the child in her arms, not looking back as she flew away from the house.

She just needed to get out.

Harry looked back at his pail uncle gasping for air and the many cars pulling up to the house. He looked up and saw the sad look on her face and reached up placing his hand on her cheek.

She blinked her eyes open and looked down at him to see him staring up at her concern. She gave him a small smile and leaned into his touch making him smile up at her. She tightened her hold on him and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead. "Thank you." She whispered.

Harry was confused. "What for?" he asked confused.

She gave him a tender smile. "For reminding me to be human." She said softly.

Harry tilted his head confused.

She giggled at his cute act and kissed him again. "You're so adorable!"

He blushed and let out a squeak. She just giggled again. "And that proves my point." He covered his eyes.

"Where're we going...?" He mumbled. Kara looked thoughtful.

"They're not your only family, are they?" She asked, praying for the answer to be no.

"Y-Yes..."

Kara let out a sad sigh and shook her head. She tightened her hold on him and bit her lip. 'What do I do?' she thought before shaking her head and placing her hand on the earpiece. "This is Supergirl with guest beam us up please." She said softly.

Harry blinked at her with wide eyes. "Whats…?"

"Shhh." She cooed at him softly and rocked him. She gave him a soft smile. "I'm getting you checked on by the best."

"The best…?"

She nodded as the two started to glow. "Yup! He will take extra care of you!"

"Will…will you be there?"

Kara smiled at him and held him tighter. "Of course. I ant letting you go till I have too" she said possessively.

'She's nice…' he thought with a small smile as ne nuzzled into her as the light finally sounded them and beamed them straight up. Up to a brighter and better future.
