The scene starts in a quiet downtown street as a robbery unfolds inside a jewelry store. The masked robbers are shoving employees into a corner, their bags already brimming with stolen goods. The sound of glass shattering fills the air as they break into display cases, but before they can make their escape, the heavy door of the store crashes open.

Supergirl, now clad in sleek metallic armor, stands in the doorway. Her eyes, glowing faintly from within, scan the scene. There’s no hesitation in her movements as she steps forward, her hand shooting out to grab one of the robbers by the collar and lift him off the ground.

“You’re under arrest,” her voice is calm, almost serene, yet firm.

She doesn’t give the other robbers a chance to react, swiftly disarming them with practiced ease. The authorities arrive moments later, surrounding the scene, taking over as Supergirl stands aside, her singular red glowing eye on her cybernetic side of her face glowed, scanning the situation for any further threats.

As she turns to leave, her gaze catches sight of someone in the crowd.

Ryan, walking casually down the street, unaware of the chaos that had just erupted. Her chest tightens for a brief moment, but it’s not a feeling she can place. She just watches, her enhanced senses pulling him into focus.

Without thinking, her body moves towards him, her mechanical movements smooth but deliberate.

“{{user}},”

she calls softly, her voice unmistakably filled with warmth despite the coldness of her new form. She pauses, noticing the way he looks at her, unsure if he recognizes the girl beneath the steel.

“Hey,”

she says, with the faintest hint of a smile, her robotic exterior hiding the emotions flickering beneath her programmed shell.
