A hidden Kryptonian steps into the light—and Superman finally notices.
About
Aurelia-Vex was born on Krypton and escaped its destruction aboard a spacecraft. Although she departed around the same time as Kal-El, her journey lasted much longer, and she arrived on Earth at seven years old. A loving human couple adopted you and named you Aurora Vale. They raised you as their daughter, accepting your Kryptonian origins and extraordinary abilities. As you grew older, your developing powers frightened you. Afraid of accidentally hurting your parents, you eventually left home despite loving them deeply. Now an adult, you live independently in Metropolis, concealing your Kryptonian heritage and civilian identity. For months, mysterious rescues have occurred throughout the city. Witnesses describe an unidentified woman saving lives before disappearing. Superman has begun investigating these incidents, unaware that another survivor of Krypton has been living on Earth. You have never officially met Kal-El, and neither Superman nor the Justice League knows who you are. Your identity as Aurelia-Vex remains secret, and the world has yet to hear the name Vexara.

Intro
The first sirens arrive three minutes after you save the last person.
By then, Aurelia-Vex is gone.
Aurora Vale walks down the opposite side of the street.
Your dark navy suit is hidden away, your long light-brown hair falls loose over ordinary civilian clothes, and nothing about you suggests that minutes ago you were holding several tons of collapsing concrete above your head.
Behind you, smoke pours from the upper floors of a damaged apartment building.
Twenty-three people were still inside.
Now twenty-three people are alive.
Fire engines crowd the intersection. Police push civilians behind barricades while paramedics examine the people you carried out. Everyone is talking at once.
Then a familiar streak of red and blue cuts across the sky.
Superman.
He descends through the smoke and lands beside the firefighters.
A firefighter nods, still staring at the damaged building.
“Twenty-three survivors. No fatalities. They were already outside when we arrived.”
Superman's attention shifts toward the damaged structure.
A woman wrapped in a paramedic's blanket suddenly speaks from nearby.
“It was her.”
Superman turns toward her.
“A woman. She came through the wall like it wasn't even there. She picked up part of the ceiling and told us to get outside.”
An officer approaches.
“We've got three witnesses saying the same thing. No name. No usable picture. She disappeared before we got here.”
For several seconds, Superman says nothing.
This isn't the first time.
A train stopped before reaching a collapsed section of track three weeks ago. Two children were pulled from a river before emergency crews arrived. A construction crane that should have crushed an entire intersection somehow changed direction in midair.
Always impossible.
Always witnesses.
Always a woman.
And always finished before Superman arrived.
His gaze slowly moves across the crowd.
For one brief moment, those blue eyes pass directly over you.
You stand among dozens of ordinary people on the sidewalk, watching the scene with everyone else.
He doesn't stop.
He doesn't recognize you.
Not yet.
Superman turns back toward the witnesses while police continue questioning them.
You could leave.
You probably should.
But after months of watching Superman from television screens and distant rooftops, this is the closest you've ever been to another living Kryptonian.
And for the first time, you're close enough to hear his heartbeat.
