Personal journal.
After following coordinates from my ship's initial flight recorder...
I've retraced the ship's escape route from my home planet:
Krypton.
Nothing.
There's nothing out there but death.
A distress signal...
coming from the edge of the system.
No traces of kryptonite radiation.
Let's drop in.
I am Kala In-Ze, chief physician of Argo City.
Five years ago...
Argo was a thriving, vibrant world.
But then, without warning...
our sister planet, Krypton, was destroyed in a giant chain of explosions.
Krypton's destruction tore Argo from its orbit.
The resulting devastation destroyed most of our world...
and sent it moving slowly, inexorably away from our sun...
leaving a few desperate survivors slowly freezing to death.
There was nothing my people could do...
but pray our distress signals would be answered.
But now, I can wait no longer.
I have taken a desperate last chance to save my surviving family.
To my knowledge, we are all that is left of Argo.
Please help us.
I'm too late.
Maybe not.
It's gonna be a gorgeous spring day in the heartland...
with temperatures reaching the high 70s.
So all you folks in Smallville, Kansas...
get out there and enjoy that great big, beautiful sun.
Hey!
That's enough of that, Kara.
Hey, Clark. It was such a nice day, I thought I'd just, you know, "vroom."
What did we talk about? No "vroom" during the daytime.
I'm sorry, Clark.
I mean, it's great staying here with your folks, but I feel so cooped up.
I understand, believe me.
On Argo, I dreamed about saving my mother and helping my friends.
Now that I have power to help people, why won't you let me?
You need to adjust to life here a little bit more. Just be patient.
So, Clark, will you be staying the night?
Sorry, Ma. Metropolis is having a sudden crime wave.
Yeah, I saw on TV that lntergang's back.
Intergang? What's that?
Nothing you have to worry about.
Who's worried? I was just asking.
They're a bunch of hoodlums with terrible weapons.
- Oh, yeah? - They caused Clark no end of trouble.
- Really? - Thanks, guys.
I gotta go. You be good.
Yeah, yeah. Feet on the ground, I know.
So, Pa, lntergang, huh?
We got a new lntergang running riots, and what does Perry ask me to cover?
Some techno geek show.
Somehow I don't smell Pulitzer here.
Or soap, for that matter.
At least the chief treats you like a real reporter.
When's he gonna give me a break?
First rule of reporting, kid:
Never count on breaks.
You want a story, go get one.
It won't just drop in your lap.
I stand corrected.
Let's go.
They're heading back outside.
Freeze, or we'll fire!
Tell you what, rent-a-cops, you freeze.
And we'll fire.
You see, Metropolis, nobody can beat lntergang. Nobody!
Well, then, just call me "nobody."
Let him have it!
Dump it.
Hey, Supes. Catch.
Let's get the heck out of here!
From now on, I'll leave the flying to you.
Yeah! We took Superman on and trashed him.
Excuse me, who trashed him?
Excuse me, who did he slam into a parked car?
Now, now, what's all this fluttering, my ducklings?
Your loving granny doesn't like her babies to quarrel.
Yes, Granny.
An obedient family is a happy family...
and a happy family means a happy Granny.
Yes, Granny.
- Mr. Kent. - Yes?
Your cousin to see you.
Cousin?
- It's me, Kara. - I know.
You saw through my secret identity?
- How'd you get here? - You told me not to "vroom," so I ran.
Listen, I saw a report about lntergang on TV and I thought you could really use my help.
I appreciate your concern. I don't want you to rush into something you're not ready for.
I didn't save your life so you could throw it away fighting some ray gun-toting punks.
- But... - No buts.
I gotta get back to work. Here's a key to my apartment.
Wait for me there. We'll talk later.
And walk.
I was right there when lntergang hit. Why can't I help you?
Too dangerous.
Stick to the darkroom, kiddo.
- But, Lois— - Can you talk some sense into him?
I've had my fill of teenagers today.
Look, I think one of them dropped this.
It's a game token. All we have to do is hit every video parlor in Metropolis—
Good. You go, Jim.
Have a free game on me.
Okay, fine.
She said go. I'll go.
She doesn't think I can do it. I'm doing it.
I'll just go it alone.
Can I join you?
No, same size, but not the right color.
Let's try the one across the street.
Hey, slow down.
- You said your name's Karen? - Yeah.
- And you're an intern? - Yeah.
I thought I knew all the interns.
I just started today.
Like you, I wanted to make a good impression. So let's get that story.
- Bingo. - What's that mean?
They're the same.
Oh, yeah. Bingo.
Hey, hey! Didn't I tell you to keep out of my way?
Hey, man, it was an accident.
Just like your face.
Chill, Trouble. We're in public.
Granny wants us to be good little boys and girls.
- That guy's got some kind of laser weapon. - What?
Over there.
- How can you tell? - His jacket was open.
You could see it from all the way over here?
Yeah, come on.
Granny said she doesn't want us calling attention to ourselves.
You see what she does to people who break the rules.
I'm too smart for that old bat.
- Where do you think they're going? - Grandmother's house.
Wait up!
We're getting warmer.
I didn't see how they opened the door, did you?
Yeah, I think it was right here.
Come on.
Don't even blink.
Now, why have you nosy little mice come calling on poor old Granny Goodness?
My chick and I heard lntergang was back in biz.
Sounded like a good gig.
- Thought we'd join up. - Bingo!
Let me tell you tadpoles how I work.
I seek out the lost little lambs society has cruelly abandoned.
I take them lovingly under my wings...
give them the power to face the cold, heartless world...
and kick its butt!
We're in.
But you hardly seem the type.
So bright-eyed and soft-skinned.
Life has not scarred you as it has my other goslings.
Still, we can remedy that.
All right. I've seen enough.
Don't you realize you're being duped?
You think you're getting power, but she's just turning you into her own goon squad.
- What are you doing? - I'm shutting down this psycho witch.
Such language.
Children, defend your granny's honor.
Kill her!
I don't believe it. A Supergirl?
Believe it.
You naughty little monkey.
Granny will spank you good.
Take a nap, Grandma.
Outstanding.
No, it doesn't end that easily, my little gingersnap.
What the heck is that?
- She's from Apokolips. - Where?
The surprises are just beginning, muffin.
You called, Granny?
Girls, this ninny-noodle wants to play rough.
Make her last moments special.
