Two hot girls flying down in space suits was not something one saw every day but it was already dark, Kara made sure they weren't caught in any cameras and dropped right in front of a lone teen with glasses, she looked him over and dismissed him from her mind but Kori hurriedly floated over.
"Greetings earthling! Please, what is your name, where are we, what are you wearing in your face, do you want to be my friend?" she bombarded the poor guy with her questions while his eyes were glued to her breasts.
"Ahem" Kara had to intervene making the guy snap out of his daze.
"Ahh… I guess we're in the United states, fawcett city, I'm… I'm Ed Baker" he swallowed hard as Kara and forced his eyes away from Kori's exposed skin "I guess we can be friends"
"Joy! You were right friend Kara earthlings are very receptive!"
"I bet he wants to be 'receptive'" she answered narrowing her single eye at the teenager boy before releasing a sight and dropping to her feet on the ground "I suppose you'll do"
"Ahhhh… I have to tell you I'm too thin, very sickly, not at all a good probing candidate" he took a few steps back
"Do not worry friend Ed, I have been told probing is not a traditional alien greeting no matter how many times it is portrayed in your history"
"Sigh, those were fiction Kori, make believe" Kara said while pinching the bridge of her nose "There will be no probing for you boy, do you have any money?"
"You're robbing me?" he asked incredulously, taken this was DC Kara didn't know why he was so surprised.
"No but we need some normal human clothes" Kara took of her backpack and opened it showing him the metal bars inside "We can pay you we just don't have any of the local currency"
The boy lost all color when he saw the amount of gold on her backpack he retreated a few steps and then fell on his ass "I… I don't want anything to do with stolen goods"
"There. was. no. stealing! By Rao we're aliens, we come from space! Why would we steal when we can just go to the asteroid belt and mine some gold!" Kara was starting to regret ever talking with the boy
Ed looked from the two girls to the bag filled with precious metals twice before greed overcame his caution "Look I don't have any money but you both are just about my cousin's size, I can get some of her clothes for one of the bags"
"Ha! I'll give you half a bar of gold"
"Three bars!"
"Half a bar and we get to choose the clothes" Kara countered and then whispered while laying an arm over his shoulders "Next offer will only be a quarter"
"Fine but if you guys want to choose you're gonna have to talk to Amber"
"That is acceptable friend Ed" Kori nodded, eager to meet another earthling "Please, do you think she will be my friend too?"
Seeing the boys suspicious returning kara gave him a break "Don't worry, while we don't want to draw too much attention we aren't really hiding, going into a full mall and paying with gold bars is too much but meeting a few people inside a house isn't a problem"
"Curiosity abounds! Please, what is this mall you speak of?"
"A shopping mall is a big building usually filled with smaller shops where people gather to purchase things, eat or simply to have fun"
Ed took of his hoodie and handed it to Kori so they wouldn't stand out as much and they alternated answering her constant questions as Ed lead them towards his cousin's house, they still got quite a few looks from some of the people on the streets, especially the males but were easily dismissed from their minds since they looked more or less human and weren't doing anything out of the ordinary.
Reaching a medium sized traditional house Ed opened the small gate and lead them inside before pressing the Bell, then he pressed it again when his cousin was taking too long making her shout from inside the house "I'm coming I'm coming!"
Amber Joyce was a young girl of about 18, her hair was held up in a towel and she was already wearing plain white pajamas, she took one look at her cousin and the two girls hanging around him before frowning "Nope, you're not doing this" then she slammed the door on their face.
"Amber… come on amber!" Ed started banging on the door and pressing the bell for a full minute leaving two amused aliens smirking at his desperation until Amber opened the door again.
"Look Ed just because my parents are out of the city doesn't mean you can just bring your cosplay girlfriends to fool around…hey what are you doing!" she shrieked as Ed pushed his way inside the house, Kara decided to make the conversation easier so she floated after him and smiled when Kori did the same "Just… what?"
"Edward Jonathan Backer what's going on here" she shouted and dragged her cousin away from the two floating woman in her living room.
Kara just let herself fall down on the sofa and started searching for something to watch on the TV but Kori floated around the room looking at everything like a curious cat.
"What the hell have you gotten yourself into" Amber whispered in his ear when they finally got to the kitchen.
"Look Amber don't ruin this for me please"
"Ruin what!" her whispering got louder "Are you some kind of… henchman now?"
"What? No! I mean technically…" the boy shook his head "nevermind, look they just arrived on earth and don't want to stand out too much so I thought they could borrow some of your clothes"
"Are they Aliens now? I thought they were just metas, what the hell are you doing with aliens!" then she registered what else he was saying "And who the hell are you to lend my clothes to strangers!"
"Have I told you they have two bags full of gold and are willing to share" then he poured himself a cup of water "Look they just dropped down from the sky right in front of me what was I supposed to do?"
"Call the police?"
"But… Come on!" Ed pouted at her and Amber sighed, stealing his cup of water she drained it and massaged her temples.
"Sigh… but they were two hot girls so you didn't want to, fine how much did they promise you?"
"Half a bar of gold"
"Where the hell did they find gold anyway"
"they said it was the asteroid belt" He replied now with some hope in his voice.
"Haaa, fine but I get 80%, they are my clothes after all"
"What! No way, 50/50!"
"80% and I don't tell your parents what you have been doing after school" she told him and Kara smilled, yeah it would work out.
"Fine" he whined then his phone started ringing "shit its mom, Hi mom! ah… I kind of forgot, at Amber's place, No! I mean I can just walk it's not too late, alright"
Ed was forced to hand the phone over to Amber and she smirked at him not moving for a second making him think she wasn't gonna say anything, then she took the phone "Hi aunty, yeah he's here, don't worry he's not that annoying, love you too, bye"
"Look, can you stay with them?" he asked her giving a few glances where Kori was floating up at the ceiling and poking the lamp.
"Yeah I can deal with them" seeing her cousin's reluctance she punched him in the shoulder "What were you gonna do anyway, flail your arms at the flying aliens like you did Carlos? Don't worry anything happen and I am running away while screaming for Captain Marvel"
"Thanks Amber" he kissed her in the cheek and them gathered his own backpack before finally drinking his cup of water.
When they reached the living room again Kara turned off the TV "Hey, in the interest of being honest I kind of heard everything you guys said" they both swallowed but Kara waved their fear away "So this is Captain Marvel's city huh, cool"
"Ah, I'm just gonna… go then" Ed said and made the way towards the door but Kori intercepted him, giving him a back crushing hug which left the teenage boy equal parts happy and in pain.
"Good bye Friend Ed, we must meet again!" Kori released the boy and he was left breathing hard and cradling his back in pain when he left for the door, Amber just stopped at the kitchen door with a hand on her hips as she looked at her two guests.
"Aren't you awfully comfortable here?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow as she saw Kara's laid back posture.
"Comes with no one trying to kill or experiment on me" she answered with a smug smile on her face just to see her reaction while Kori nodded beside her equally happy.
"Yes, earthlings seem much better than psions, I am glad we came here!"
"Alright I'm gonna pretend I didn't just hear that" Amber shook her head not knowing how to deal with them "So… you want some clothes them?"
"I did hear your parents aren't home right?"
"Riiight…" Amber answered warily
"So how about another deal, you lent us some clothes now, let us sleep here today and then help us for a day or two and I'll pay you a full gold bar…" Kara opened her backpack and pulled out a small and rough bar of gold from inside "I didn't really weight the thing when I made it but it had about 10 kilos of pure gold, should make for a quarter million at least"
"Holy shit!" Amber stumbled then started from the gold bar to Kara's backpack "holy shit that's a lot of money, why the hell are you paying me so much money?"
"Convenience mostly, we got a lot more in the bags and it isn't exactly hard to mine some more if we need it" she confessed and Kori nodded by her side, without knowing a lot about earth's culture she was letting her make most of the decisions for now "We're from another planet amber, we don't have to value gold the same way Earth does"
Ambers eyes kept glancing towards the gold but she seemed to steel herself, lifting her eyes she asked "And why have you come to Earth?"
"We're an advanced scouting party, we'll study your heroes so our army will have it easier when they arrive" Kori gave her a mean look but Kara let silence fill the room before laughing "Just kidding we're refugees, Kori's people were subjugated by assholes and she can't go back while my planet exploded"
It still hurt to talk about Krypton like that despite the time that had passed and her new memories of another life so Kara let herself fall back on the sofa and covered her eye with an arm just waiting for an answer "Fine you guys can stay, but only for today"
"Great"
Kara couldn't help but appreciate Kori's new clothes, Amber had been smaller than her so the clothes were very tight and showed her every curve, it didn't help that she prefers clothes which left a lot of her skin exposed to the sun.
Contrary to Kara the Tamaranean princess had healed and recovered very well and even her finger was reattached easily
Kara herself chose some baggy clothes which hid her features.
No longer looking like supervillains or aliens they sat on the sofa and Kara asked for Amber's phone so she could do something she had been eager for since recovering her memories.
She ordered a pizza.
