Different Worlds

“Who are you?”

“Supergirl.”

“Wait who?”

“How do you not-- Oh. Oh boy…” Supergirl sighed as she slowly floated to the ground. This was the second time someone from another earth entered National city. At least she had a bit more experience now.

Supergirl stared at the catsuited woman before moving her hand to what the stranger could guess an earpiece and spoke. “J’onn, do I bring her in?”

“She could be an alien, proceed with caution.”

“Hey lady!” The stranger said to the girl of steel. The stranger knew that Supergirl was contacting someone, she just hoped it wasn’t any government. She can’t deal with more government going after her.

Grabbing the girl of steel’s attention, she took a deep breath and sighed. “Listen, I don’t know what is going on. All I know is that I’m not home. Now if you’ll excuse me, I would like to go back.” The stranger stated, turning around. Though she knew the costume looked ridiculous, the stranger knew never to judge people by how they looked.

The girl of steel zoomed in front of the stranger, startling her to the point where she used her powers. She had quickly raised her hands and fired a shockwave to the girl of steel, sending her tumbling down.

“Jeez, don’t scare people like that! Who are you anyway?”

“As I said,” supergirl started, dusting herself off like it was nothing, “I’m Supergirl. And I need to bring you in.”

“Sorry but I don’t have time to deal with you.” The stranger said, before hearing an engine in the distance. Turning around, she saw black SUV’s coming her way. She cursed internally and began slowly backing away.

“Sorry, don’t think so.” The stranger said coldly, before raising her hands out towards supergirl, sending the same force from before to the girl of steel. Supergirl noted that the second wave of whatever that is was, was stronger than before. ‘The first one seemed like a warning.’ 

Supergirl grunted as her body skidded onto the ground. She lifted her gaze as she heard a whoosh in front of her. The girl of steel smiled slightly as she saw J’onn stand protectively in front of her.

The stranger looked slightly surprised but didn’t let it show. “Who are you?”

“I should be asking you that.” The martian glared, crossing his arms over his chest. His red eyes glowed for a moment as he stared at the stranger before he staggered back.

The stranger held her head in pain as her knees gave out, just as the agents in the black SUVs got out. They surrounded the stranger, their guns aimed at her.

“Don’t move!” Alex Danvers yelled, watching as the stranger tried to stand.

“Something’s not right,” J’onn muttered as he looked back at the stranger.

“Damn it. I thought the withdrawals from Hive were terrible.” The stranger mumbled though Supergirl heard it.

Walking past the martian, the Kryptonian stood in front of the stranger, mentally debating on something. The stranger looked tense, like she had been through something like this before. Not only that, but she could faintly hear vibrations around the stranger like she was causing them.

“Who are you?”

“I’m not--” The stranger began but was cut off by the martian.

“Her name Daisy Johnson. She is on the run from governments around the country on her earth.”

The stranger-- Daisy-- stared at the green alien in shock before she realized one thing he said. “Did you say my earth??”

“We believe you’re from another universe.” J’onn continued, carefully looking at the young Kryptonian.

Alex walked over to Daisy and cuffed her hands, slightly surprised that she wasn’t fighting back. With their guns still aimed at Daisy, she was guided to one of the SUVs with Alex getting in with her.

The ride had been quiet, the tension thick in the air. Once they arrived at the DEO, Daisy was lead to what she already thinks is a cell. Alex held her left arm and another agent held her right arm while other agents aimed their guns. 

She looked around, looking for any exits, computers, and all the agents occupied in their own business. Daisy analyzed each agent, guessing strengths, capacity, and stamina thanks to her powers.

“Ms. Johnson, welcome to the DEO.” J’onn stated calmly, staring at the new prisoner. Daisy’s eyes grew wide before she glared at who she thought was the director. 

“Who are you?” She demanded, staring at the director. She felt the agent to her left tighten her grip slightly.

“Stand down agent Danvers.” J’onn calmly said, looking at the agent. Daisy sighed in relief when Alex loosened her grip.

“My name is J’onn J’onzz, the director of the DEO.”

‘Great, another director of a government.’ Daisy thought as she groaned. “Listen, I love to stay and chat, but I’m supposed to be headed somewhere. That and I don’t like governments. Well, not anymore.” She said calmly, confusing everyone.

Before they could think about what she said, Daisy used her powers to free herself from the 2 agents' grips. She punched the agent on her right in the gut quickly before kicking under their feet.

“Hold your fire!” Daisy heard J’onn yell as she ran up the stairs. Alex appeared in front of her, glaring at the woman before launching forward. They fought each other, punches and kicks blocked from each other, a few other agents jumping in before being knocked out by Daisy.

‘She’s good.’ Supergirl thought as she entered the main room. From a distance, she could see her sister get frustrated. She decided to step in and help out her sister. Supergirl zoomed in front of the two fighting and Alex quickly stepped back before her fist broke against her sister’s back.

Daisy didn’t stop fast enough, so she used her powers to enhance the punch, hoping that it knocked her down. When her fist came into contact with Supergirl, Daisy felt her bones hurting in the same way as before. When her powers were starting to fracture her bones. Supergirl fell back but quickly caught herself as she was about to crash into her sister. Her face hurt a lot, but feeling the sun radiating to her body made it feel better already.

“Shit, ow ow ow.” Daisy cursed and moved her hand around, trying to get the feeling back in her hand. When she realized that it was dislocated, she used her powers to pop back into place. Gritting her teeth when she heard the pop, Daisy looked back to see the same green alien from before in front of her. “Simmons is gonna end up mothering me again when I find her.” She muttered.

“Ms. Johnson, you need to calm down.” J’onn stated calmly.

“What I need to do is get out of here, not calm down.” Daisy sneered at him. Before she could say or do anything else, Daisy felt the back of a gun hit the back of her head. The force of the hit caused her to stumble forward before her eyes rolled back. Supergirl caught Daisy quickly and looked up to see her friend Winn holding a gun in his shaking hands.

“I swear I wasn’t hiding.” He said quickly.

Everyone smiled at Winn’s awkwardness and went back to work. “Supergirl, take Ms. Johnson to a cell. Agent Danvers will accompany you.” J’onn said as he shapeshifted into Hank Henshaw once more.

Supergirl carried the unconscious woman in her arms silently, not paying attention to her sister. Even though this woman was obviously dangerous, she was pretty cute. Her short brown locks bounced with each step the Kryptonian took. ‘Wait what?’

“Kara, you ok? You seem kinda spaced out.” Alex called to her sister, bringing the Kryptonian back to reality.

“Uh, yeah, I’m- I’m fine.” Kara stuttered as she continued walking. Once they reached the cell, Kara gently set Daisy down and walked out of the cell while Alex locked the door.

“Kara, are you really ok?” The agent said, turning towards her alien sister.

‘Quick, come up with something.’ “I- um-- it's just that she managed to hit me with a shockwave or something. A-and the first time I fought her, it felt like she gave me a warning.” ‘Not a total lie.’

Alex thought for a moment before nodding to her sister and glanced at the unconscious woman. The woman reminded Alex of herself before letting Kara join the DEO. Always on edge and running from something. But this woman looked like she had a lot more demons hiding in her closet. The way she fought, how tensed she was when they were fighting, how she knew how to defend herself against Kara. What stood out most to Alex, were her haunted eyes. The haunted eyes that she sees in J’onns eyes, the ones she saw after Kara was infected with RedK and lost the people’s trust, the ones that she sees in Maggie’s eyes when something from her past appears.

“I’m gonna talk to J’onn about what to do with her. And stay here, and when she wakes up, call us.” Alex said, turning back to her sister. The Kryptonian nodded absentmindedly and sat on the floor, crossing her arms as she stared at the woman.

********

When Daisy woke up, the first thing she notices is that she’s in a spacious cell. The second thing she noticed, was Supergirl sitting just outside of her cell, lazily looking down at her phone. The last thing she notices is that she doesn’t have any inhibitor gloves. ‘They either don’t know about Inhumans or they’re stupid enough to not think I wouldn’t use my powers.’

She sat up quietly, but Supergirl somehow managed to hear her moving, because she was up in a second. Supergirl put her hands on her hips, looking intimidating. Although it didn’t work on Daisy--because she was used to being around May-- she had to admit it was cute. ‘Snap out of it.’ 

“Where am I?” Daisy asked, glaring at Supergirl. The girl of steel tilted her head slightly, looking more curious than intimidating. Daisy ignored the fact that it was adorable and continued to glare at her.

“You’re at one of the DEOs cells. I suggest you cooperate with us. We don’t want to use force against you.” The heroine stated as she stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“I was told that if you wake up, I have to report it in.”

“So what, you guys gonna interrogate me? No offense skirt, but you aren’t intimidating.” Daisy said smugly and smirked when the girl of steel blush slightly.

‘Oh Rao, even Mick called me that, but it’s different when she says it.’ Supergirl shook her head and turned around, swiftly walking out.

“Well, that was interesting,” Daisy mumbled as she sat down on the floor. Maybe if she cooperated a little, she could be out sooner and she could go home. Daisy decided to wait, crossing her legs as she sat on the floor.

Supergirl returned, with the agent Daisy attacked earlier and the director of the organization. The girl in the cell remained seated, staring calmly at the people in front of her.

“The only thing we know about you is your name and the fact that you aren’t on your own earth,” J’onn spoke first, grabbing Daisy’s attention.

“Didn’t that alien read my mind?”

“I only saw a few things, something is blocking me.” J’onn stated calmly, not reacting to Daisy's sudden movement.

“You're that alien?!” Kara struggled to keep a straight face while watching Daisy. ‘She looks so adorable-- wait, what am I thinking?!’ The young heroine shook her head and refocused on the task at hand.

“I am. And I would like to know why you are on this earth.” J’onn stated seriously, crossing his arms, staring at the inhuman. Daisy furrowed her brows, crossing her arms as she stared ahead. Kara had to resist the urge to just engulf her in a hug and just hold her. ‘I need to calm down.’

“I was running a lead on a group who hunt people like me. The last thing I remember was being engulfed by something that hit me from behind. You can figure out the rest.” Daisy leaned back on the wall, her arms still crossed.

“So you are a metahuman? Do you know the Flash?” Kara couldn’t help but ask. She knew there were metahumans out there, some of them not met the flash but heard the name.

“A what? What’s a metahuman? Who’s the flash??” Daisy moved forward, looking at all 3 of them. When none of them spoke again--since they were shocked-- Daisy growled and banged her fist on the glass. Kara flinched slightly while Alex and J’onn stood unfazed.

“I want to leave. Let me go.” Glaring at them, the room began shaking, and they looked around, then back at Daisy. The imprisoned woman still glared at them, her fist still on the glass. ‘They’ll continue to see me as a threat if I destroy their base and escape.’ Deflating, Daisy returned back to the wall and slid down, her arms coming around her knees. The shaking stopped, and the 3 looked back at the girl who sat down.

“Look, I know there’s a protocol for an enhanced like me, but I don’t have time to deal with you guys. I have to go back to--” Daisy cut herself off and looked away quickly. Kara looked at Daisy sadly. No longer denying it, Kara wanted to hug the catsuited woman.

“J’onn was it?” Daisy spoke and the 3 stared at her, waiting for her to speak. “Since I don’t know when I’m returning to my earth, can I get a job here?”

“And what makes you think you can get a job here?” J’onn spoke calmly, crossing his arms as Alex and Kara stood next to him.

“I’ve been in the field before. I know how secret organizations work because I’ve on the radar before being apart of them.” Kara noted there was a hint of sadness in her voice, and judging from the looks she saw in her peripheral vision, J’onn and Alex also noticed.

After a couple of moments with J’onn staring at Daisy, the martian sighed and closed his eyes. “I’ll consider it Ms. Johnson. As of right now, you are a prisoner. If you have a problem with it, you can deal with me.” And with that, J’onn walked out, with Alex close by. They both stopped at the door when they noticed Supergirl was still standing there.

“Supergirl?” Alex called out to her sister. Alex knew there was something on her mind, and usually, they talk about it, but this time it was different.

“I’ll be fine.” Knowing her sister was concerned, Kara turned around them her signature smile. Nodding hesitantly, they both left, closing the metal door against them.

Once they were gone, Kara’s smile faded and she turned back to Daisy, who decided to ignore her. Her face was hiding her arms, the catsuit stretching and showing her muscles. Supergirl walked quietly till she was right in front of the glass prison door. Sitting down, Kara crossed her legs and patiently waited. For a while, the 2 stayed quiet, though it wasn’t an uncomfortable one. Kara hummed quietly as she fumbled with her cape, her blue eyes closed.

After some time, Daisy peeked up from her arms and saw Supergirl with her eyes closed, humming lightly. ‘Why do I want to be around her?’ The prisoner shook her head and stood up, deciding that some tai chi would help her clear her mind. Sighing slowly, Daisy let her body move on its own accord. ‘Even though I left the team, I can still sense May’s presence around me.’ She let out a small sigh and continued, not realizing Supergirl was watching her in amazement.

The only other person she had seen move so gracefully, and that was J’onn. He had a monk train him a long time ago. Daisy mostly likely had a mentor or something teach her for a couple of years. ‘Old habits don’t die hard, I guess.’ she continued watching, both unaware that J’onn and Alex were watching through the security cameras.

“J’onn, I don’t like this. You seriously can’t consider giving her a job, right?” The agent looked at her father figure, watching the alien closely. He had his arms crossed as he quietly stared at the screen.

“Agent Schott, see if you can find any kind of information on her. Any little detail. Agent Danvers, come with me.” He said, before turning around and walking to his office. Winn and Alex followed his orders, the tech genius hacking his way through any and every database, looking for any information on Daisy.

Alex entered J'onn's office and patiently waited. “Alex, I understand your concern about Ms. Johnson. Which is why I want you to watch her. She clearly has field agent experience.”

“J’onn--”

“Let me finish.” he cut her off, causing her to be silent. “We need to keep an eye on her. For all we know, she could have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, which caused her to come here. If it was you going to another earth and a government detained you, wouldn’t you have done the same?”

That really made Alex think about it. As much as she hated it, J’onn was right. Sighing, she crossed her arms and nodded slightly. “Alright. But what if she doesn’t listen to what I say?”

“You just have to make sure you are the one in charge. On occasions, I will observe you both spar. Am I clear, Agent Danvers?”

Sighing, Alex straighten her posture and nodded. “Yes, sir.” She turned and walked out, leaving J’onn to his thoughts.

“Ms. Johnson, what are you hiding?”

‘~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’~’

Daisy had continued doing tai chi for a while, very aware that Supergirl was watching her. She didn’t care, but it was kind of exhilarating for her. Ridding of the thought instantly, she continued her tai chi, her mind going back to her family-- ‘no. I left to protect them. It’s better for them.’ Her dark thoughts continued to cloud her until a voice brought her back to reality. A sweet voice at that.

“Are you ok?” Supergirl asked, her hands close to her chest as she stared at Daisy with nothing but concern. The Kryptonian had noticed her stance had changed and a stray tear had escaped without Daisy realizing. 

“I’m fine, skirt. Just remembering something.” Daisy sighed and stopped doing her tai chi. Supergirl stared at her, her blue eyes holding nothing but concerned, which was relieving to Daisy. All she had ever gotten were hard looks, pity, distrust, until the team.

Alex had watched the interaction through the cameras, watching closely as her adoptive sister stared at the prisoner. She could tell there was already something between them, just by the fact that she knew her sister. Sighing, she walked towards where they are, her stoic face in place. Entered where they were, she saw Daisy stop stretching and straightened her posture.

“Ms. Johnson.”

“Agent Danvers,” Daisy smirked as Alex glared at her. “You really think I wouldn’t pay attention to what your boss says? I  watch a lot of things. The smallest thing gives the most information.” 

“Trained well I see.”

“Survived well, you mean. Agent Danvers, I get the hostility, but based on the fact that I’m considered an unknown variable to you all, I will cooperate. It’s not like my people can find me here anyways.” Daisy shrugged and leaned against the wall, crossing her arms.

‘Survived well.’ Supergirl knew what she meant, and judging from Alex’s calculated face, she knew as well. Daisy had a rough childhood. Most likely abusive parents, sudden family deaths, there were so many scenarios, but they didn’t think they were wrong. “Being an orphan teaches you a lot of things.”

So, so wrong.
