You Were Expecting A Hero?

There, up in the sky! It's a bird? It's a plane? No, it's Supergirl~! She's fighting a small fleet of military aircraft.

With her superpowered strength, speed, freeze breath, heat vision, and her genius intellect, they are no match for her.

You feel relieved. Supergirl has beaten what must be minions of evil.

Supergirl stands for hope, help, and compassion for all. Knowing this, you call for her to help you.

In the blink of an eye, she hovers before you.

The bright primary colors she is known for are gone, clad in black from head to toe instead. The emblem on her chest is dull grey.

She looks at you with disgust. She holds her arms over her chest, intimidating you.

This is not the Supergirl you know.

She gestures with one finger, and robot drones pick you up and take you away.

You wish the airplanes had been armed with Kryptonite.

You hope - in vain - that your death will be quick.

Hope fell before Supergirl long ago.

Just like everything else.
