She sees a hand reaching out for her and blonde hair like her own, but the face looks different.  She sees along side her a man in red and blue, full of determination.  Carrie has no idea what this means.

She sees it all in a matter of only a second.  She sees it all in a flash of the lightning.  The lights go out.  The power is knocked out.  Carrie Allen finds herself in shock on the floor.  She is on her back, but her body is not still.  It may never be still again.

Metropolis.

The Daily Planet is all abuzz over Superwoman being joined in the skies by two other ladies, known publicly as Supergirl and Powergirl.  For Lois Lane, being able to finally track down the elusive Superwoman for an interview has been curtailed by an assignment in Gotham City, covering a live performance later in the evening.  She is not fond of it.

Clara “That’s a pretty big deal, Lois.”

Lois “Oh, shut up Kent.  One quote from Luthor about the presence of Superwoman and all of a sudden you think you can spot what ‘big deal’ assignments are.”

Clara “Yeah, but…this isn’t bad.  I mean…I mean it’s that…thing with the Grayson Family.  They do it every year.  I think without a safety net, too.”

Lois “We have super women flying around now, Kent.  We have three capes here in Metropolis.  We’ve got that Mary Marvel lady over in Indiana.  In California, there are a couple of girls named Green Lantern and Star Sapphire flying around with those crazy rings stopping bad guys.  And don‘t even get me started on whatever the hell that‘s supposed to be in Gotham.”

Clara “Yeah, but…the Graysons don’t have flying ability.  And they still put on a good show.  And you get a media pass to that.  On Live television, too.”

Lois “Apex Network’s still carrying it this year?”

Clara “I think so.”

Lois “Ugh.  Miller will probably be there.  She likes to stir things up.  People were looking at me like I did something after the appearance with Vale…and Vale going missing.  All because Irene wanted us on there together.”

Clara “Hey, at least Vicki’s okay.”

Lois “Yeah.  I’m glad she is, too.  You did read her report for the Gazette didn’t you?  A war?  A war in Gotham City? That place already feels like something akin to a war zone as it is.”
