Damon walks around Metropolis, just having left S.T.A.R. Labs after meeting back with Dr. Charles. He knew Checkmate wouldn't like his decision but they could get on with out him. He just wanted a new start and a life of his own. He wanted to also see what else he could learn from what Checkmate hasn't told him, even though he could have got the information from Dr. Charles or the Labs database, but he decided to just venture out and learn what he could before turning back to the Lab.
He was late at night, when he left the lab, and he decided to opt not to camouflage his look. He also didnt really like the way people were looking at or asking him questions so he looked towards the nearest building and jumped to the roof of it. He looked to the starts unaware of where to make a start. He has never been apart of the real world or really knew of the happenings of it. He began to debate whether to turn back and go to the lab and get the answers he seeks there.

Her last attempt at getting answered lead nowhere. In fact, she spent much of her time being run from or dealing with individuals with long black sticks. Though she didn't stay too long for that, flying into the air and leaving. Though as she flew through the night, Tamrad'r began to wonder if this was truly how people saw her? Was she really a monster? Looking down at her orange skinned hand, the young girl felt somewhat heart-broken, yet knew that this wasn't the time for her to feel sorry for herself. It was all just confusion, that was it. She just wished she could understand them.
Landing down within another city, the girl found that this location was quite different than the previous one. It was dark, shady humans moving within alleys and some just stared at her. Finally, people that didn't seem afraid of her. Laughing as she ran up to one of them, she bowed her head, almost losing her helmet in the process and began to introduce herself. Laying her hand upon the breast plate of her black colored while explaining her situation. Though as she did so, she felt a small tingle as someone seemed to be poking something into her back.
As she turned to see one person trying to stab her with a knife, she giggled as she turned around and shook his hand. The young alien had no idea that this was a mugging. |

She wasn't so far away. Supergirl was scanning carefully the streets down below. Her hawkeye vision allowed her to see much better than even the most talented birds. She could see in perfect detail, even though she was almost a mile high in the sky. With that, she was able to see the orange woman down below and the man who was just getting ready to stab her.
Quickly, Supergirl sky-dived toward the crimescene where the criminal was getting ready to hurt the strange girl, but before she got down there, they were already shaking hands. Supergirl stopped in her tracks. She was only a good five meters away from them now.
"I guess... you don't need saving?"

Damon saw a blue and red blur and used his targeting system to get a closer look. Once it slowed down he saw it was a flying girl. He was curious at this and figured that this was a superhero. She was only a couple of blocks over so he began to leap across the roof tops and in a couple of mins was just below her. He hid behind a shed that was placed on the roof. His assassin training still being a force of habit. He had to be sure she was a superhero and not a villain before he confronted her.
He heard her saw something to someone below. He checked his surroundings, to take in the area, again apart of his assassin training. He was curious as to what he other abilities were if they would have to fight. He sent a signal to his hilt to charge his blade and have it prepared for the worse. "Better safe then sorry," He said to himself.

The young girl looked over towards the costumed female, blinking for a moment before smiling and running towards her. This left her attackers rather dumbfounded, yet they weren't exactly going to wait around with Super Girl here. In fact, both of them ran quickly into a nearby alleyway. But Tamrad'r wasn't too concerned about them, after all, they seemed to be the ones in trouble. They had left their knife with her.
Bowing towards Super girl, she began to once again speak, introducing herself in her native tongue as she awaited a response. As long as she wasn't running away, she was quite happy. Someone would actually listen to her. |

Supergirl listened to what the tamaranian had to say, but this was one of the few languages she actually didn't know. Being Supergirl and having Superman's DNA, it didn't take much for her to learn a new language, but being that she didn't recognize it, and she had learned most of Earth's languages fluently, she could deduce that the girl was most likely not speaking a language of Earth.
In any case, she wouldn't just stop to talk yet. She placed one finger up in order to gesticulate to the tamaranian that she should wait a second, and rapidly, Supergirl sped off in the direction of the criminals. In only a matter of seconds, they were tied to a telephone pole by nothing more than a phone cord. Quickly, Supergirl made her way back to Starfire.
"I am, Supergirl," she said with a bow.

Damon watched as the girl flew off and then flew back. A memory came to him when he spent his time at S.T.A.R. Labs. He had seen this girl before but never spoke to her. He then realized that he could approach her without conflict. Now he just had tO figure out who she was talking to. Time to stop hiding in the shadows, can only do so much to run from Checkmate, now it's time to ask for help.
Damon walked to the edge of the building and dropped down and landed with ease near them. He looked between them and they looked just as strange as himself. He was curious about the orange skinned girl caught his attention the most cause she looked far from human. He stood up straight and rested a hand on the hilt of his sword." Don't mean to interrupt but I need help?"

It was strange, while she had been unable to understand the humans, their gestures with their hands seemed so similar to the ones on Tamaran. In fact for a brief moment, seeing the costumed girl's finger in the air to silence her reminded her greatly of her mother. This was exactly the same way she silenced her back at home, especially when she seemed to be talking too much. Doing as she was instructed, Tamrad'r stopped talking and watched as the human vanished and then reappeared very quickly. It had been so fast that she felt her hair get blown back by her movements.
Watching her gestures, she giggled as she could see that she could trust this human. After all,, she seemed to understand manners at least. She just wished she could understand what she was saying. Though before she could attempt to try and ask, another figure appeared beside her, causing her to jump back slightly and cover her mouth. Who was this person, the human's body was covered mostly in metal. Did it hurt? Was he some kind of metal human? This world was getting stranger by the minute and she still had no idea what was going on. |

X-ray vision was Supergirl's first instinct to use on the Cyborg man. In one quick scan, she could see which parts of him were robot and which parts of him were human. It didn't really matter that much, but come to think of it, he looked rather familiar to her. She had seen his plans before at S.T.A.R. labs. Still, she didn't know much about him. She had simply been being a snoop.
"Who are you?" She asked inquisitively before turning her attention back to the Tamaranian once more. Being that the girl couldn't speak English, she didn't want to leave her completely out of the loop, but she also didn't know what to say.

Damon turned his attention back to the girl in red and blue. He gave her an emotionless look, curious as to why he got an unnerve feeling from her when she looked at him. He looked back to the orange skinned girl and then towards the street corners. He was still trying to stay out of the populace as much as he could. Glancing back at the roof top he just dropped from, the thought came that not having the high ground was making him uncomfortable.
"My names Damon Stone, Checkmate codename Raiden, or former codename. Think we could take this to a different scene, i dont like all these eyes on me." Damon stepped back looking back and forth from red and blue girl and orange skinned, mute girl. He then jumped up into the air, back flipped and landed back on the rooftop.

The sudden departure of the metal man left Tamrad'r more confused than ever. Had she said something wrong? Still she had no clue as to what these people were saying, the only thing really making sense to her was their gestures. But what did his leaving mean? Blinking as she watched him jump on top of a nearby building, her eyes then moved towards the costumed female, wondering whether she was to follow or simply let him be.
I do wish that I understood them....I have not found Princess Korind'r and I can not waste any more time.... |

Supergirl watched as the Cyborg man mysteriously ran away expecting them to follow. It was rather strange. And from the sound of it, he expected her to follow. She wasn't sure why though. She really didn't have any reason to follow him, nor did she have any reason to want to go after him. Still, she found him to be somewhat intriguing. Maybe he wished to talk about something, though he easily could have made that more clear to him.
Without saying another word to the Tamaranian, whom she had deemed by this time to be fine, she decided to take pursuit of the Cyborg man. Though, rather than doing an acrobatic set of moves, she simply flew after him and landed on the roof beside him.
"So what do you want?"

Damon waited for them to follow, he hoped he would be able to confide in them. Not really being to sure about the other girl cause he didn't hear her speak the whole time. Still, getting established was always the beginning. He watched as red and blue girl flew up to join him, she very blunt and to the point but thats how he wanted to be since he didn't really have much time to idly chat. Keeping his eyes on her, he didnt get an odd feeling from her this time, he pushed the thought to the back of his head as she spoke.
"Its not what I want but need. I need information about the lost heroes and I need help." He was curious as to how she would take this. Would she help him and give him the backstory on whats going on? Or will she leave him to fend for himself? He could go with either or, but how long could he go on before they found out about Dr. Charles he knew it would be eventually, so this was why he had to act fast. |

Now it seemed that both people had left, leaving her alone on the sidewalk with a dumbfounded look on her face. It took a lot to turn the Tamarean's mood, and the events of the day had done just that. Ignored, people running from her. There was only so much that she could take. A frown forming over her face, she yanked both her arms firmly to her side, closing her hands into fists. With that, she then yelled out a curse in her native tongue before looking down the street towards a young bystander.
Within moment, the distance between herself and the male human closed. Looking at her with a rather frightened expression, he moved slowly backwards in till his book bag and his body was flat against the side of a brick building. Then, as he reached up to cover his face for protection, he found himself being yanked forwards and then soft lips connecting against his own. Stunned, the teen held his eyes wide as he felt her tongue move around his mouth, than stop as she pulled away.
"Thank you...."
With that, Tamrad'r then took the sky once more, leaving the student mystified. Moving towards the building as to which the two were talking, she had her mind set on getting some answers. After flying a great distance and time to get to this planet, she would complete what she had come here to do.
"Excuse me! I do not wish to be rude, but I had previous begun a conversation without getting any answer. So if you could be so kind as to respond, I would be most grateful and on my way..."
Her eyes glowed green as she floated slowly to the top of the roof, arms crossed as she looked at the costumed girl and the metallic man. |
