The Power Within

Promise

"No it's not." I said with my arms crossed and an emotionless face. "And it doesn't have to be a weakness."

"What are you talking about My Queen?"

"Come. Sit with me." I said moving off to one of the conference rooms.

Berry and Anderson sat down. Then Alex, Lena and Kara had joined us.

"Woah where did you guys come from?" I asked as they all sat down.

I was only planning on tell Anderson this information but I guess the more the merrier.

"This seemed important. Talking about weaknesses?" Kara said.

Something felt off with Kara. She seemed irritated and mad. I wanted to ask if she was ok but didn't. I just brushed it aside. Instead, another question popped into my head. "How did you hear us? We weren't even in the same room." Then it dawned on me, "Right. I forgot. You have super ears."

Kara's face didn't change. I can see her anger was written all over. Or maybe I'm just seeing things. No one else seemed to notice Miss sunshine and rainbows, now seems like a brewing storm. Lena also seemed slightly off and Alex, she was a little harder to read. Her poker face is becoming as fantastic as J'onn's.

"My Queen. How did you overcome this weakness?" Anderson asked. You can hear the eagerness in his voice.

My focus from Kara was brought back to the others.

"Right, weaknesses. Tails. Yes, it's true that's our biggest weakness. But it doesn't have to be."

"What does it feel like?" Alex asked.

"Honestly, I don't remember. I was young when I lost that weakness." I answered.

"It's a pain so excruciating it paralyzes you. One second your all high and mighty and the next your on the ground. Fighting with every inch of your body to move so you can get your tail free. The worst part about it is the fact that you literally can't do anything to save yourself. Your paralyzed. You just watch as your opponent gets closer and closer for the kill." Anderson said all of this as he stared off in space. His tone of voice, it's like he's speaking from experience. "This is why we never go on a mission alone and why 99% of the time our tails are wrapped around our waist." Anderson snapped out of his flashbacks. "How did you do it? How do you not feel pain?"

I took a deep breath and sat at the head of the table. Across from Kara. "So a little biology for those who don't know, are tails are one of the keys to unlocking Oozaru."

"What's an Oozaru?" Alex asked.

"A Great Ape." Barry answered. "A big ape."

It's creepy that all of this info is in a book in another universe. I don't know how I feel about it.

"What's the second key?" Alex also asked.

"The moon." I answered this time. "On a full moon, it creates what we call a Blutz Wave. That wave causes a reaction in our tails if we look at the moon for to long. That reaction causes us to transform. But there is a slight flaw. Unless you have complete control over Oozaru you'll become a wild Saiyan. Distorting everything in our way."

"Do you have full control over yours?" Kara said with slight attitude.

Barry noticed her attitude. So did Anderson. They both looked at Kara slightly confused. Lena shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

"Yes. But I lost my connection with Oozaru along time ago. But that's another story. Anyway if you cut the tail off, Oozaru is gone and you'll shrink back down to size. Our tails will grow back but after the 3rd time it gets cut off, no more. Your tail is gone for good. Our tails are our strength and weakness. It is up to you to make it only a strength. To do that you have to endure the pain." I paused. "Layla helped me with that. She was born without a tail so she was always fascinated with mine so she would always play with it."
