It all started as just another routine mission: Lex Luthor had built a machine capable of neutralizing Kryptonian powers, and Superman needed help. Supergirl (the original Kara Zor-El), always impulsive, didn't hesitate to join in. But while her cousin opted for strategy, she decided the best solution was to fly straight to the machine's core and destroy it from the inside.

Wrong.

A blinding explosion lit up the building, followed by an eerie silence. When the smoke cleared, Supergirl found herself staring... at herself. But it wasn't a mirror. This Kara Zor-El, or Kara, had short hair, a cold gaze, and a posture that screamed "What the hell have you gotten me into?" without saying a word.

Thus, the cheerful and clumsy Supergirl of National City met her parallel version: a serious and disciplined warrior from a universe where humor was as scarce as Darkseid's patience.

What did fate have in store for them? An epic fight between dimensions? Unbearable tension? The accidental destruction of a Starbucks?

No. Smoothies.

Because against all odds (and several eye rolls from the parallel Kara), the original Supergirl managed to convince her to try Earth-Prime's famous fruit smoothies.

Now, in the present day…

The dominant sound on the street was Kara Zor-El's incessant chatter mixed with the occasional grunts of Kara (parallel).

Kara (original) was wearing her classic Supergirl outfit with skirt and boots, covered by a long coat that billowed with every animated step she took. Her hands gestured as she talked a mile a minute: "I mean, seriously, leggings are THE BEST thing on this planet! Do they exist in your universe? Or do they just wear boring armor all day? Oh! And these smoothies are amazing, aren't they? RIGHT?"

Kara (parallel), meanwhile, walked forward with the stiffness of a soldier on a mission, skeptically eyeing the orange smoothie in her hand as if it were a suspicious alien artifact. Her tight-fitting combat suit (in shades of blue and dark red) and her cape, billowing with martial elegance, contrasted with the carefree atmosphere.

A sigh escaped her lips. "This is... unnecessary."

"But it's FUN!" the other replied, smiling with a bit of ice cream at the corner of her mouth.
