Monster Contemplation [Open]
Kara Zor-El sat atop the revolving golden globe that crowned the Daily Planet building, wistfully looking out over a view that looked nothing like the Metropolis that the teenage Kryptonian was used to. She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them close, resting her head on her knees.
Am I a monster? she asked herself. The truth was, she wasn't sure. During the time that Kara had spent in GLaDOS, she hadn't really thought about what consequences - if any - there would be to the savage aggression she'd showed Sofia during her fight with her over Julian Keller. Even after she'd been released, when she'd told Julian that she was turning over a new leaf, she hadn't really thought about the consequences. But just now, with what Sofia had told her....
Kara closed her eyes. Dad sent me down to Earth to kill my cousin. Before that, he had me kill my classmates. Kill my mother, who begged me to kill her, just to get away from him. She opened her eyes. I'm trying so hard not to turn into that monster, but after the incident with Sofia...what if I am turning into her? Without even realizing it? She shook her head. No. No. I'm not letting that happen. Not to me. That S that's on my chest? Kal and Kon have both given it new meaning, and I'm not going to let myself ruin that.
And what Sofia had said about Julian?
Kara wasn't sure that was something she wanted to think about just then.
