Chapter 107
"I still can't believe you convinced me to come here." Karen said to her girlfriend and best friend as they walked into the backyard of their classmate and Karen's school rival, Leslie Willis, who was throwing her annual end of school party. And even though Leslie was the classic queen bee bitch, this party was the one event she threw that was open to the whole school. Regardless of grade, clique, popularity, or anything else. If only so Leslie could show off how rich and successful her family was. Which was one of the main reasons she and Karen were rivals, since it drove Leslie mad that technically, Karen's family was even richer than hers thanks to her big sister, but Karen never displayed that wealth. She came to school wearing simple clothes and never tried to act like she was superior. Plus, Karen was ahead of Leslie in the school's popularity ladder, since in addition to being a reporter for the school paper, Karen was also a member of their school's cheerleading team and rumor was that she was a shoo in for captain starting next year, since Karen could do stunts no one else could and she never seemed to tire out, much to her coach's astonishment.
"Come on Karen, I know Leslie's a bitch, considering how tough finals were, we deserve to celebrate with the rest of the school." Donna said, since she knew how her girlfriend felt about Leslie and honestly, Donna was no fan herself, since Leslie was also a homophobic bigot who seemed to go out of her way to taunt their relationship on her radio show, since the school did have its own broadcasting network, along radio network. Karen was a member of the paper and tv station while Leslie ran its radio show and there was a rivalry there between them.
"Maybe for you. For me those tests were easy." Karen said smugly due to her super brain.
"No need to rub it in. But still, we deserve a nice night. Especially since we're celebrating the fact that we're now seniors and we should enjoy the time we have together until we all leave for our summer plans." M'gann said, since all three of them were spending the summer away from National City for their respective extracurriculars. Karen was going to be attending a top of the line cheer camp in New York to help cement her role as cheer captain during her senior year, since both would look good on her college applications, along with being named editor-in-chief of the school paper by her journalism teacher.
Donna, who was on the school's girl's volleyball team, would be attending volleyball sports camp in Dallas this summer and M'gann, who was on the school's dance team, would be at a summer dance academy in Metropolis, where Clark and Lois had promised J'onn that they'd keep an eye on her.
"True. But still, I think it was a bad idea for Leslie to host the party outdoors tonight. I mean look at the sky." Karen said, since a storm was clearly coming.
"We'll be fine. Seriously, turn off Powergirl for one hour and just let yourself be a teenager." Donna said.
"Easier said than done." Karen said, since she could see lightning in the clouds.
"Look, I'm the daughter of Zeus, I can control lightning and you're both invulnerable aliens. If things get bad, we can suit up and save the day." Donna said.
"Fine. If only because I want to see how many jocks I can drink under the table before they give up." Karen said, since they knew that alcohol would be present.
"Works for me. Let's go party." Donna said, though all three of them were keeping an eye on the skies.
Despite the weather, Karen did manage to allow herself to have a good time with her friends until she couldn't help overhearing something with her super ears. And while she normally was above using her superhearing for gossip, but considering it was Leslie, she couldn't resist, since she was still a teenager, which meant that she was still petty, even though she was a superhero.
"Mom, it's not a big deal." she heard Leslie telling her mom over the phone.
"This is my biggest listing ever and you're using it to throw a party that you can't honestly afford to trash it." Karen heard Leslie's mom say over the phone.
"Mom, this is my chance to finally take down Karen Danvers. Finally put her in her place." Leslie said.
"I am sick of your obsession with that girl. She's done nothing to earn it and from what I hear, you would do to take a few pages out of her book, since she's a nice girl, a model student and she doesn't waste money on things she can't afford." her mother said.
"Karen acts like she's so much better than everyone else, just because she has a rich sister." Leslie insisted and Karen couldn't resist scoffing at that, since while yes, Kara did help out financially, like buying her a car after she got her license, since Karen couldn't fly to school without drawing suspicion, but otherwise, Karen lived pretty modestly, since Kara refused to spoil her, something that Jeremiah and Eliza approved of and Karen did too, since she didn't want to be a rich brat like Leslie. Even if it turned out that Leslie wasn't that rich after all and was actually trying to victimize herself. Just like Lex Luthor did and just like Lex, no one bought it with her.
"Enough. They just issued a weather alert, I want that party shut down now and you're grounded until you stop pulling stunts like this." Leslie's mom said.
"Mom." Leslie whined and Karen couldn't help but chuckle, but after hearing what Leslie's mom said about the weather alert, she moved to find Donna and M'gann, since it looked like it might take some super persuasion to get the party to disband.
