We Fly high (open)

[carrie]

Carrie soared above metropolis as Super Girl she was content. A small smile on her face as she flew, she wasn't really looking for any signs of trouble but she kept her ears open hoping to see how far she fly today.
Maybe I can see how fast I can fly to the other side of the country and back. She thought she knew her dad can fly around the world in record time so she wondered if she could try that too.

Looking down at the city below her she couldn't see any signs of distress. It was just a slow day she figured and looked for somewhere to land. She could probably just land and change into regular clothes maybe she could go to the mall before she went home too.

Fierce joy hummed through every hyper-dense molecule of the abominable behemoth as it hurtled through the sky, leaving a swath of clouds twisted and whorled by the air currents its passage created. The day had finally come; father had released it. A deep, instinctual part of it had always known of the greater world beyond, but father had always kept it contained. It had had prey brought to it, easily chased down in such confinement. But now the whole planet had opened up to be its hunting grounds, at long last, and Doom knew what to look for in its first victim.

The shield. Often had it been the only visual focus offered to the beast whilst going through the horrific, and sometimes fatal, tortures Lex had subjected it to its entire life. That S that gleamed bright red even when its entire vision had been clouded in crimson fury and pain. Doom knew its greatest enemy, knew it also even on some instinctual level of borrowed DNA, and searched with singular focus. And that determination was rewarded when it came into view, emblazoned across the tunic of a girl who traversed the sky as easily as Doom itself.

The monster opened its jaggedly-fanged maw and loosed a feral roar, more horrific than any sound that could come from a natural creature, rending the sky with the reverberations of its rage. At the same time, the scarlet of its irises glowed to a bright and fiery red as they released an arcing wave of rippling heat, dispersing the final cloud between it and its prey into boiling raindrops. Simultaneously, a sonic boom echoed behind Doom as its speed increased dramatically, charging its foe with its two enormous bony fists aimed for her sternum.

Carrie looked around at surprise as what she could only describe as a monster launching itself at her. Carrie began to change course flying higher into the air to get away from the citizens of Metropolis. Also this way she could use her heat vision without destroying buildings or hitting people with it.

Carrie flew away from the beast but watching it carefully as she did. She felt it was obvious she was it's target since it launched itself at her the moment it's eyes saw the S on her chest. Feeling she had gone high enough Carrie closed her eyes for a second or two opening them to fire a combined heat almost laser like rays at the monster aiming directly at it.

Fast though it might be, the lack of agility to couple with it worked against Doom. When its target swiftly rose out of its way, the creature's trajectory continued. It smashed headlong into a tall skyscraper, debris hurtling away explosively as screams of terrified employees rose above its own frustrated growl. Though their fear was intoxicating, they were lucky; Doom's hatred for the flying girl was stronger than its lust for inducing panic and death.

It kicked off the floor of the office it had crashed into, the floor giving way from the force of doing so and dropping several workers on top of the cubicles of their peers one level down, and shot back up towards its prey. Due to missing her the first time, Doom's speed increased dramatically and it approached this time in a blur of motion, closing the significant distance up to her altitude in mere seconds. Still, as it came, the monster witnessed her eyes glow crimson and release twin tight optic beams towards it.

"Lexi, did you finish reading the portions of The Art of War that I bookmarked for you?"

"I finished the book, daddy!

"Excellent, that's my girl." Lex reached down and gently stroked his daughter's grinning cheek with a proud smile. Taking her small hand in his calloused, larger, one; he led her through the reinforced automatic doors to the lab chamber adjoining her study room. As they whooshed mechanically shut behind the two, he gazed back down at her.

"Ready for your reward?"

Lexi's head hadn't even finished bobbing in an excited nod when it was whipped harshly to the side by her father's backhanded strike. As the welt rose on her cheek, tears brimmed in her wide eyes, staring up at Lex with shock. This wasn't the firs time this had happened, not by a long shot, but the initial several minutes prior to transformation were always washed away as part of her blackouts; to Lexi, this was all the more frightening because of how confusing it was.

But she was a Luthor. Even as her father's other fist came arcing down, splitting her lip and knocking her to the ground, Lexi practiced her yoga breathing exercises. Though she didn't see it, curled into a fetal position and focused on her own inhalations, that proud smile was on her father's face once more... even as he savagely kicked her in the gut. His girl was learning swiftly; a year ago, that first strike would have triggered the transformation.

However, she was still only a six year old girl. A couple kicks later, hard enough to snap ribs, and the very bones he was breaking began to fight back by growing into spiky protrusions through her skin. Eyes previously squeezed shut in pain snapped open to reveal bright red irises. As the transformation swiftly neared completion, Lex sprinted over and mounted the enormous state-of-the-art laser canon he'd set up specifically for this occasion. That damnable heat vision was, after all, one of the cursed aliens' greatest strengths.

He barely powered it up in time. The beast, though at this time a mere six feet tall, had not yet been fully trained either. It was almost upon him when he fired. The high-concentration beam seared at the skin level for a brief moment, the enormous generator it sat atop rumbling as it provided more power, before slicing through Doom's flesh. A moment later, the beast fell, eyes dull with death and nearly-severed head hanging on by a mere handful of tendons.

But, even as Lex knelt over its felled form, the muscles were slowly reaching out to each other like grasping fingers, knitting back together. Pulling on an advanced set of goggles he used for observing minute details of experiments, he watched as the chemical makeup of his child's tissues began to shift into a light and heat repellent form, taking notes to use the compound artificially at some point. Doom would rise again in roughly an hour and be impervious to ever being slain by that method again. With a wickedly victorious grin, Lex stalked out and left it there to regenerate.[/i]

The heat vision rippled against and off of Doom's flesh ineffectually, ignored by the creature itself and not so much as briefly minimizing the rapidity of its approach. As it came into range of its target at superhuman speeds, it unleashed a volley of lightning-quick attacks. One fist snapped out in a backhanded strike at the girl's face while the other, a millisecond behind, arced down to pound the top of her head. In tandem with these assaults, it also brought one bone-spiked knee up hard to drive towards her abdomen, with a satanic snarl.[/blockquote]

Carrie groaned at the speedy assault on her. She flipped downward in the air a few times before she steadied herself shocked for a moment or two. So the beast was fast and strong,as well as being able to be unharmed to her heat vision. Well if the monster wanted to play like that then so was she, Carrie flow at it with incredible speed punching it square in the jaw then grabbing it by the shoulders spinning it around with her and super speed before she let it go. The beast went flying into the air before Carrie caught up with it grabbing it once again and diving throwing it down onto the ground.

Carrie flew back up into the air knowing people were watching the fight staring down into the crater she and the monster had made. She watched it intently almost daring the monster to come back up. But how long could she last against a foe she knew nothing about? This was something she had never seen or faced as Super girl.
