Lots going on in this part. Yes, those ice cream cones have finally calmed down and figured out a solution, but to have her come upon all her abilities at once? Yikes! What a confusing and horrible day it must be for Kara, even though, I must say, she's handling it very well. And without her father there to guide her through it. I wouldn't be surprised if she's flying long before her 18th birthday. Should she go back, now, to her home dimension would those nanobots revert her back into an ordinary little girl who would slowly ease into her abilities, or would she keep her powers? If the latter, I'd love to see her stand up to that bully who had been bothering her.
I do find it interesting that Kara claims that THIS is the worst day of her life. She discovers that these things are happening to her and, not only does she do well to cover what's really going on up, she also KNOWS what's happening to her (unlike Clark when his powers turned on). Yet, she considers this a worse day than the one when she awoke abandoned and alone in this strange universe and everyone told her that not only did her parents and everyone she knew didn't exist, her city doesn't exist, and that her folks have been lying to her. AND, worst yet, that Superman -- a man whom she admires, whom she has studied in school, whom she knows holds truth above all else -- has been lying to her for 11 years. I would say THAT was the worse day. But, then again, pre-teen girls are prone to exaggeration.
Oh, Kevin. USE your head! YOU think she's Superman's daughter (or at least, YOU think she thinks that and you hope so), and you decide to show her Superman Returns? Are you daft?! She's going to see her parents separate and arguing. She's going to witness her mother shacked up with another man whom she's letting raise Kara's elder brother. She's going to think that her father abandoned her mother and her brother for no good reason. That movie would traumatize for life.
Of course, watching Superman 2, she'd see her father erasing her mother's memory after they slept together and THAT can't be any better. Man Of Steel, well, she'd see her father murdering someone, so yes, that too would be bad, but I could see her standing up and saying that Superman would NEVER do that and march out, claiming loudly that the film was a fraud, or at least a poor representation of Superman. Really, Lois and Clark is the only thing Kara should watch.
And, only a 12 y.o. boy would choose SR over Superman: The Movie because of the special FX instead of the plot. /roll eyes/ He really isn't going to endear himself to Kara with this plan.
In an office somewhere in Washington, D.C., Kara’s photograph, fingerprints, and case report were scanned into a computer database. From that point automated systems took over.
The information was cross-indexed; no matches were found among birth or other records. This person seemed not to exist.
That caused the file to be flagged. The information was transferred to other computer systems, including those used by the national intelligence agencies.
Umm... So, it's going to be determined that Kara was kidnapped from another country? Canada, maybe (for the American accent alone, and even with that I'm stretching). How and why would Kara's case file end up in Washington DC? That doesn't make any sense. Do they have a fingerprint record of everyone in the US? I guarantee you that they do not. (Hospitals *might* have a footprint record of a birth, but never fingerprints of a newborn.) Nor would they be able to determine that Kara "did not exist" from so little information. We too often hear of people who gave birth and never had the child's birth recorded legally. What if she and her parents were on the run from the law? Or her parents had a natural child birth at home? Then, her parents fed her this history and she bought it. Trust me, the government contracts with the lowest bidder. The computer systems that our government uses aren't anywhere near that good for that kind of exhaustive analysis.
Unless her file included a sample of her blood and her DNA claimed she *shouldn't* exist, then maybe I might believe that the Federal Government might be interested. Really, they are too busy filing every useless thing in triplicate to care about a lost little girl, who claims to be Clark Kent's daughter. (But, don't worry, they'd never admit to that.) UNLESS they have some other reason to think it could be a possibility. Oh, I do hope that Kara doesn't end up in a lab being studied like a frog, because then Clark Kent really *would* kill someone. Heaven forbid Kara comes across a Jason Trask.

Oh, dear. That would be bad.
Keeping my mind buzzing and me on the edge of my seat, as always. I'm curious to see what will happen next. /I'm almost hoping Trask will show up before she gets a chance to see Superman Returns, that's how badly I think that film would affect her. Personally, I'm kind of hoping she'll mention the movie to Emily who will put a kibosh on the whole evening, instead./
