Supergirl Read Online Free PDF

fly her way through the days, mindless as a bird. And just then, as if to remind her of the seriousness of her quest, on her wrist Zaltar's berry bracelet flickered to life. Supergirl's heart quickened. That meant only one thing. The Omegahedron was nearby.
    Using her super-vision, she scanned the buildings in the area and then along the side streets. But the bracelet dimmed and she saw nothing useful. Disappointed, she leaned against a wall, only to have her super-hearing pick up a faint, thin sound, an unearthly music, inaudible to human ears, but which could only be the Omegahedron. She felt that it was calling her, beseeching her. Again, she scanned the buildings, racing through the rooms with her super-vision, searching for the precious Power Source. Nothing. And the sound, like the dim glow in the berry bracelet, had disappeared . . . to be replaced by the heavy beat of footsteps.
    Two men swaggered toward her. "This, I like," the taller one said.
    "Hello," Supergirl said. The Sixth Guardian Commandment. Thou shall be polite to strangers.
    The taller of the two men elbowed his friend. " 'Hello,' she says"
    Supergirl was glad to see them. In Argo City, the rare stranger was a welcome treat. "Could you please tell me where I am?"
    "Why not?" the tall one said. "What do they call this place, Eddie? Lovers Lane?"
    "Yeah, yeah," Eddie said intelligently.
    They circled around her.
    "I was wondering, what are all those lights down there—" Supergirl began.
    The tall one flipped up her cape. "Eddie. Check out the view from back here."
    Supergirl pulled away. "Please, stop that:'
    "Hey, Ron, she thinks she's Superman's little sister."
    Supergirl, who had started to feel the tiniest bit uncomfortable, said earnestly, "No, I'm his cousin. I've come here to search for the Omegahedron." She turned, as they continued to circle her. "It's a Power Source vital to Argo City, where I live."
    "Noooo kidding." Ron winked at Eddie. "Me and Eddie, here, we're out on a secret mission, too" Eddie nodded agreement. "We're out looking for a good time." He wrapped his hand in her hair.
    Supergirl backed away, straight into Eddie, who wound his arms around her. "Gotcha!"
    "Hey, mine," Ron said.
    "Saw her first!"
    Oh, now, this was not very nice of them. Supergirl snapped out her arms, breaking Eddie's hold. He staggered back, flailing for balance.
    "Oh, ho, ho, ho, she works out," Ron said. "I love a challenge."
    "Why are you doing this?" Supergirl said.
    "We like to play, don't you?" Eddie moved toward her, grinning, saliva in the corners of his mouth. Supergirl drew in an irritated breath and released it. Super-breath! Eddie tumbled backward, slamming into a wall.
    Ron shook his head at Eddie's incompetence, then clicked open a switchblade knife. Holding it delicately in the palm of his hand, he danced around Supergirl. "Now, now, now," he said, "enough of this . . . you gotta be good!"
    Supergirl definitely did not like these two men. Are all the men around here like this? Couldn't be. These two just needed a little lesson in manners. She concentrated . . . focused her heat vision on the narrow shining blade of the knife. The metal softened . . . bent . . . and melted into a puddle at Ron's feet. He stared at the puddle, his mouth open, then at his empty hand, and again at the puddle of metal.
    Eddie was on his feet again, mad as a dog. Some girl slamming him into a wall? Noooo way, José! He snarled and charged Supergirl. Her foot flashed up faster than the speed of light. A tremendous kick—and this time Eddie went flying up to crash-land in a tree.
    Supergirl turned back to Ron.
    He backed away, trying for a sincere, friendly smile. "It was all Eddie's idea."
    Eddie decided to join the conversation and fell out of the tree.
    Supergirl stepped over him. It was getting dull here. Up she went, skyward, dust and papers swirling in her wake, a slender, red-caped figure disappearing into the dark night sky.
    Ron stood looking after her for a long
