Chapter 22
It was coming up on three weeks so far, up here high in orbit above the Earth below, not her Earth, the Earth. Manhunter had taken her under his wing so to speak that first day, to show her around, assign quarters, etc.. Of course they had a little chat concerning her white lie to the Kents, which of course was shared with the rest of the senior members of the JLA. They were surprised as well as shocked, except Batman, he knew there was something off that first meeting and was glad that Jill had come clean.
Only ten, that was all she could copy, of course teleportation was one, which she did ASAP, far easier to get around when you could teleport. But the other nine, she had to go slow here and was working on a list, she was limit to a person one power not all, like with the Manhunter, he could shape shift, turn invisible, phase through any object fly, she would not be able to copy all of his powers specially if she wanted to get more seriously stronger powers such as Super strength, speed, flight. The list of heroes had been long and she was working on lower it more and more each day. Of course she had her own powers as well, invulnerability, above average strength, and the ability to influence gravity, and her Dragon Bracelet was for her Force Shield. It was like her Necklace and Earrings, only she could remove it, and did so very rarely.
So far she had on her list, The Flash's Super speed, Superman's super strength, Flight, she was going to ask Kara for that, besides she had promised to see her again. That would leave six more she could aquire, and there was the trip to the 30th Century she was planning after confirming with the JLA members that the Legion of Super-Heroes did exist, but first she needed to finish up here. She been down to the Earth a few times, mostly in Gotham City at Wayne Enterprises where she had met Lucius Fox. So far all was going well there, her drone was a BIG hit with him, seems there were features it had that the current drones of this world did not and had been promised a HUGE shipment of items that she would be able to take back to her Earth. Still her attempts to reach the owner of LexCorp in Metropolis, a Mr. Lex Luthor were being stonewall, by a Ms Lana Lang, the current CEO of LexCorp, so she was concern that she would not be able to get the technology she was seeking. Rumors had it that Lex Luthor had mastered seemingly every known form of science, including space travel, extra-dimensional travel, biochemistry, robotics, computers, synthetic polymers, communications, mutations, transportation, holography, energy generation, spectral analysis, and more. His current whereabout were Top Secret, but word was he was piloting a prototype jet on a proposed trip around the world.

Chapter 23
Oh man was she glad she was only doing one power at a time, that first day when she copied The Flash's power was an eye opener. Manhunter had suggested they do it off the Watch Tower, someplace large, empty, flat. Nevada desert was picked. That first day was so bad with her tripping over her feet so many times, had it not been for her teleporting powers she would have ate a lot of sand. The Flash was there with her, more or less a coach, he to remembers the problems he had the first time he ran. By the end of day five he was full of praise, "That good, you are doing great, now try the phasing through the rock once more". Doing that only took mere seconds and on the other side he again congrats her. "Excellent, I think you got it, race you to the LA transport station".
Jill, "OK, on your mark, get set, GO"!
Manhunter looks down at the dogs, "Guess we will meet them on the station, come on you three". Up and away they were.
The next day she met Manhunter and Superman in the kitchen of the station. They were in one of the prep rooms. There on a huge table were cases of eggs, a huge empty bowl and empty egg cases.
Superman, "Manhunter came up with this training aid, its something I have to be concern about all my life, and my Pa did just this trick with sending me to the hen house to get eggs for breakfast every morning".
Manhunter, "After you copy his power of Super strength you are to remove those eggs from the cases to the empty cases, any eggs you break drop in the bowl, the shells can be fish out and the eggs can be used for breakfast tomorrow. Here you might need this", hands her an apron and hair net.
Putting the apron and hair net on, she turns towards Superman, who puts his hand out, she places her hand in his and presses the stone on her bracelet. Superman, "Done"?
Jill, "Yes".
Manhunter, "OK, then we will see you later".
Superman, Good luck, you'll need it".
Jill, "Thanks".
That first day she had to ask for more eggs and another huge bowl, moving eggs by finger from case to case seem easy, but not with super strength. By day two she manage to get a case filled, but broken them trying to repeat the process going the other way. Day three far more make it, day four again far more made it. By day five all the eggs made it and she was asked to break eggs in the bowl, minus the shells this time. For another five days every morning she reported to the kitchen and broken eggs for breakfast. On the last day she was a moving blur using not only her speed but her control on getting and breaking eggs for breakfast.

Chapter 24
Shipments of items were being delivered daily to an empty ware house own by Wayne Enterprises, here she would take delivery of these items places all in storage. The aid she was getting from them was without question inspiring. When she told Mr Fox this he just said, "Little lady the tech you gave us has double our profit this quarter, and we expect to triple it next quarter, all thanks to you and your toys".
Jill, "Glad I was able to help. I wish I been able to talk to Mr Luther about some of his tech or ideas".
Mr Fox, "Well reports have that his plane crashed in the Andes, no body was recovered so no one knows if he dead or alive. I did try to talk to that Ms Lang for you, but she refused to talk to me and I am sure she is busy with trying to save LexCorp".
Jill, "Save LexCorp"?
Mr Fox, LexCorp's Board of Directors are seeking full control of the company, no doubt to oust Ms Lang from the CEO position".
Jill, "oh well, I guess I can just give up on speaking to him then, and continue on with the training".
Mr Fox, "What is next"?
Jill, "Flight, I'm to meet Kara today at the Watch tower, then off to train for a few days".
Mr Fox, "We will be sure to have another load here soon".
Jill, "Thank you sir, I will see you then in a few days"?
