Title: We Make It Work
Characters: Cassie, Kara
Rating: PG/NC17-ish
Prompt: DCnU, Cassie Sandsmark/Kara Zor-El, the thief and the alien hero make it work
Cassie Sandsmark just slipped out of the Sandsmark Museum with one of the artifacts.
Why they held a Krypton Exhibit was completely beyond the young thief.
Yet there was this beautiful green Kryptonite Crown among the exhibit.
Remnants of a planet called Krypton.
It also amazed Cassie how that piece was completely intact.
And the way the crown fit on top of her head, like it was made especially for her.
Bypassing the security protocol had been a piece of cake for the young blonde thief, like taking candy from a baby.
She had just almost reached her car to drive off when disaster struck.
"Thief!! That doesn't belong to you!" spoke another blonde female whose boot just connected with Cassie's back.
As soon as those boots reached the ground, the blonde alien floored Cassie to the ground.
She towered over the young blonde thief, ready to pry the crown off her head.
"It's mine!!! It's my right to have that crown!!"
Cassie used both feet to send the blonde alien flying.
"Hands off! I stole it fair and square!" she yelled as she got up to ready herself for another attack.
"You don't understand! My planet exploded! I was about to graduate by accepting that crown! It's all I have left!" Kara shouted as she prevented her body from slamming into a nearby building.
"I don't give stuff to strangers." Cassie replied as she eyed her opponent.
"My name is Kara Zor-El, and who are you meant to be, Wonder Girl?" she asked Cassie.
Cassie grit her teeth. "DON'T. CALL. ME. WONDER GIRL!" she shouted and flew into the air to attack Kara again.
Kara grabbed Cassie and pried the crown off her head before she threw her opponent away like it was just a bubble gum wrapper.
"At last, I finally graduate! Oh mom and dad, Aunt Lara, Uncle Jor-El, if you could see me now!" Kara exclaimed before she placed the artifact on top of her head.
Not like it still matters anyway, Kara thought, but it is nice to actually finish stuff you started. Complete them and feel satisfied.
The screams didn't start until after she removed her hands from the crown.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Kara screamed as she fell to the ground in pain.
Her head and her whole body got a strange reaction from the crown.
"It hurts, it hurts so much!!" she cried out.
Her skin turned all veiny-like.
Her hands moved to the crown, giving it all she got to get it off... but it just would not get off.
If Cassie's head had fit, Kara Zor-El's was a perfect fit. Like it recognized the wearer being Kryptonian.
"Please!!! Wonder Girl!!" Kara was curled up into a ball now, sobbing loudly.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!!! Call me Cassie instead." she said, hovering in the air as she watched what was happening.
"Please help me get it off!" Kara whined.
"If I help you, will you promise not to attack me anymore?"
"I swear! Now please get it off!" she said to the ground.
"What was that, Kara Zor-El"?" Cassie asked with a grin, even though she did feel sorry for the effect that crown was having on this person, no, alien.
Kara whipped her head up, all green glowery and veiny.
"I swear! Now please get it off!"
"Alright." Cassie said as she flew toward Kara to stand in front of her.
She placed her hands on the crown and yanked hard.
The crown was pulled off her head with a loud plop.
Kara's face and body returned to normal.
She sped back a few steps and then unleashed her heat vision on the crown which shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.
"What are you doing?! Do you know how much money this would have made me?!" Cassie asked Kara.
"Nothing. It's a pile of junk. I needed it on my homeworld Krypton to become of age, it was all required in the ceremony."
Kara touched the front of her outfit.
"This outfit, the crown, and it nearly killed me here on Earth! I'll never become of age!" she cried.
Cassie wrapped her arms around the young Kryptonian to reassure her.
"There, there, who needs a stupid ceremony anyway? You'll become of age, right here on Earth."
Kara looked at Cassie.
"Do you mean it?" she whispered.
Cassie nodded.
"Thank you, Cassie. I'm sorry I called you W... you know what before."
"It's okay, Kara." Cassie replied as she hugged her new friend.
"You know what, Kara?" she asked then.
"What, Cassie?" Kara asked her in return.
"I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship."
The End.
