Silence filled the classroom. Kara stared in stunned shock as Crystal's eyes changed from brown to an icy grey color. Crystal was not a normal girl, but then... neither was Kara.

But Kara had promised not to reveal her powers to anybody, she wondered if that same rule applied when it came to protecting herself. On the floor by the desk lay the unconscious boy. But Kara could hear his breathing slowly returning. He was certainly resilient. But he was still in danger just for being there. Kara needed to act... and fast.

Crystal raised her hand, turning her palm toward the ceiling. "Would you like to see something cool, Kara?" Slowly, a snowball formed in the palm of her hand.

"No thank you. Just let me help him and I won't tell anybody your secret... please."

"Not gonna happen, Kara. Even if Jaime is okay... I can't trust him to keep his big mouth shut."

"He'll keep quiet, I know he..." Before Kara could finish her sentence, she found herself diving under a nearby desk and out of the direction of the ice blast that Crystal had thrown her way. The frozen projectile streamed through the air, smashing one of the windows instantly.

Kara landed under the desk three rows from the front and sat curled up in a ball. She could see Crystal's feet walking past Jaime's unconscious body. "Wow, Danvers, your fast!" Crystal said, pacing the room to get a better view of Kara.

She inched closer, just as Kara heard the murmurs of Jaime from beside the teacher's desk. He was waking up and he also seemed to be shivering. Crystal chuckled under her breath, as she stood beside the desk which was nothing more than a barrier between she and Kara. "It looks like my friend is waking up. Maybe I should finish what I started."

Kara's breath hitched in her throat. Any second now and Crystal would shoot another blast, either at her or Jaime. Kara had to do something.

Mere seconds passed, and Crystal readied herself to attack. She stared down at the white desk. "Come out Kara, make it easier on yourself." Kara didn't respond. Nevertheless, Crystal acted fast. Without even peering under the desk, she shot a blast underneath. The stream of ice went right through hitting nothing whatsoever. Confused, Crystal peered under the desk. Kara was gone.

Nearby, the door to the classroom slammed shut. Crystal looked up. Kara had escaped, and she had taken Jaime with her. Crystal was alone in the classroom.

Kara brought the barely conscious Jaime outside under the warm sun. He was shivering, and she needed to find away to help him. Not only did his life hang in the balance, but Crystal was on the loose in the schoolgrounds. One thing was certain, Kara needed help.

Just as she thought those words, her phone buzzed from in her pocket. It was her stepdad Jeremiah. Without hesitation, Kara pressed the answer button and Jeremiah's voice was music to her ears.

"Kara, where are you? Alex called. She said she was concerned for you, is everything okay?"

Kara sighed. "Something... something's wrong. I..." Kara's eyes opened wide as she saw Jeremiah running toward her from the street. He was followed by men dressed in black. There was an urgency in his face, telling Kara that Jaime would be okay. But the question was, what about Crystal?
