Charlene was brushing her hair, as she peered at her reflection in the mirror, her skin was flush from excitement and nervousness, Superwoman has not been out on a date for a long while. The woman pulled her hair back, moving it behind her shoulders before she lifted up the make-up kit, putting a bit of lipstick on her lips - 'wild rose', and a touch of eye shadow.

And that was about it for make-up, she wanted to look nice, but not too formal. She checked time, good, she wouldn't be late.

Charl swayed to the music playing on the radio, as she made a last-minute inspection over herself, before jumping into the Nexus portal to meet up with Hawkeye.

I... I think I might be in love with Clint.

I really enjoy his company, I felt so comfortable around him.

...NOW what am I suppose to do?

She returned back to the apartment, stretching out of habit after another day in LOL'd land as she was starting to refer to it. Her boots were thrown into the shoebox in the corner.

These Nexus-apartments weren't that bad, they seem to shape themselves to the tenants' needs, including that portal to her universe in the closet. So much for grand, epic journeys far away from home! She laughed as she ducked into said portal, slipping back into her Apartment at Earth-13. Sliding out of her unitard, she started to pull at clothing, dressing herself in loose, gray jeans, and a white sweater.

Charlene paused, glancing over the various photographs on her walls, her Graduation ceremonies, Family, her friends (including a Halloween picture of her as Carmen Sandiego, James Olsen as Turtleboy, and Lois as a She-devil - clinging onto a somewhat embarrassed Bruce in a Lancelot costume - including the three lions tabard). She reached over to the side table, and flicked on the radio after getting dressed.

The Woman of Steel hummed as she manuvered into the kitchen, and started to make coffee, rather glad she had the week off during the body switch.

((Open to anyone who wishes to slip in))

My Superhero Name is Queen Vixen.
Take The Superhero Name Generator today!
Created with Rum and Monkey's Name Generator Generator.

-Queen Vixen? But I'm not that showy and all.

And this man, This CORNEO man would NOT leave me alone. I'd be glad to take a cut in my pay if I can write his obituary!

I'd never though I'd see so many... alternatives of myself, and those I know.

And also, a Mxyzptlk has been spotted here, just absolutely dandy.

Cinnia aka Serpentine has found her way here, it's wonderful to have someone I know to talk to, but she can be a bit of a drunk, but I think Angel is a good influence on her.

I'm back in my body, and it feels good. I really should go out and fly!

Charlene sat down, and made a list, trying ot get a sense of self.

Charlene slipped into her room, with clothing Belial had given her to fit this body. It was difficult to get use to shapeshifting into something other then Mad Hatter Motifs, but it did provide her a sort of anomoyous face to hide behind, to ask things that she wouldn't normally dare.

And it'll be nice to wash up without creating a fog of smoke and setting off every fire alarm in the area. Now to do it without removing the makeup - if it is of the water soluable kind, that would be the tricky part.

As was reaching things, this form seemed shorter then her normal 6' frame, she pondered if she can fix that with concentrating - changing clothes is one thing, but a body is another! She was humming, running a hand through her hair. So many changes! Superwoman pondered, then noted, the more she change, the more things she found out about herself...

Like the quirky humor that cropped up out of nowhere, she laughed as she pictured Oliver's face, red with shock and horror when she brought up those... spanky pants he called them?

Though in ways, she still rather be in her original body - even if it means being called a Big Blue Boyscout again.

Whaaaaaa?! Sticking Ostriches in me?

...I'm in a Demon's body.

A very flexible, shape-shifting body, but it's a demon's. How is this going to work out?

Belial seems nice, but kind of sneaky. Well - I've been inversed, and body-swapped, and it's only about... what? A week I've been in this Nexus.

I'm in for a long ride, aren't I?

I'm been feeling oddly Sexy, and I like this outfit much better - Vinyl and skirts do show off my figure much better then that drab Unitard!

Wonder if Hawkeye would like this?

And my powers? Why was I to worry? I got a mixture of the good of my original Superpowers, and Heat/Fire manipluations!

All I'm saying is that I'm starting to feel like I'm in a hall full of those whacky mirrors. Did I mention I don't like those mirrors? They're kind of creepy, and Mirror Master made it worst.

And I'm starting to like Hawkeye, he's kind of good-looking really, and very kind - can't believe I'm saying that already.

I could really go for a taco.

Well... there are some leads.

Not really - actually, mostly I got answers to what this thing isn't, but not a clue as to the IS.

I wonder if I can find the origin of it I can use it to change back to who I was. Some of these powers are somewhat useful, but in a way they're quite limiting - making me quite useless on a rainy day. In trade for my fire, I lost my vision powers, and a portion of my strength was lost.

Where do I begin?

Oh yes - I am Superwoman - I am not from the Earth that most people tend to think of (there is a Superman there, but no Superwoman, far as I know). I am a month away from my 28th birthday, and had been a Superhero since I was 19.

Why did I become one? It's seems rather simple, I have... this power, this strength in me that being the Last Child of Krypton allows me, and I just can't simply let people suffer without trying to alleviate it. That's what I've been doing, saving the world, defeating great and terrible evil, I met so many people for good and ill, and made so many friends and allies - like Batman, The Martian Manhunter, Spartan and Wonder Woman (though the last two would be sworn enemies if no one intervenes in their arguments!). There's also Kid Metropolis - supposedly my clone, but I doubt it. Great kid, just a bit too quick on the trigger.

So why am I here in this nexus if it means I'm leaving my world?

It's a matter about my awakening from my death.

I died, or had fallen into a "mammalian diving reflex" coma, I'm not certain, no one is really - not even J'onn is quite sure. However, I woke up - don't ask me how, by some sort of embodiment of fire.

First I notice was some... changes to my physical form, I know I'm still the same person, but I had looked different - one thing, my hair was so much longer (and It refuses to be cut - even with scissors Emil made from refuse of my birthing matrix my biological parents sent me to earth in!) And secondly - I was on fire, or rather - my funeral clothes were, these firey wings were floating behind my back, and my sarcophagus melted from my touch!

Basically - long story short, I defeated some of the troubles that arised from my absence, reclaimed my name - somewhat, and tried to live life as usual - despite these changes in my powers. That's until those dreams came, they were vague, but omnious - like someone's trying to tell me something.

No, tell me to do something. And from evidence we had gathered over the six months since my resurrection and transformation as a more firy 'metahuman', we know at least the thing that did this was not of our world, or of our Universe - but why did it revive me, and these dreams - I decided to follow this trail to the 'Nexus' and find answers.

And hope I don't end up like Donna.
