Getting an appetite

To say Karen had a busy night was an understatement.

For several hours all onto the still dark hours of the morning, Power Girl had been almost nonstop in her patrols across the entire planet, let alone the city of Metropolis. She just had so much energy! Not once did she feel tired or spent in her little ventures, even when she was putting out fires in Brazil, stopping natural disasters in South Africa or stopping robberies in at least 5 neighboring countries in Europe before finally calling it a night. Even then she was still full of energy, but by then she had nothing else to do.

Heading back to her high-rise apartment back in Metropolis, Power Girl landed at her balcony and stepped into her living room.

"Phew... What a day. Who would have though so much goes on around the world." She mused, taking off her costume and heading into the washroom to step into the shower. For several minutes she rinsed out the smoke and soot that was in her hair and cleaned herself off.

Stepping out of the shower and wiping the steam off the mirror, Karen gave herself a look over and posed, flexing her arm. It was subtle, she knew Clark noticed when he diverted his eyes when they were talking, but she was certainly effected by the overcharge. For one she was bigger all over. Her chest looked like it was a cup size bigger, her muscles looked more toned and firm, her hips seemed a bit wider, and turning to the side, she found her rear more firm and round as well. It's as if she had done nothing but work out all this time. For a human this would have been impressive, for a Kryptonian it would have led to many wondering what she was lifting to give her the workout.

Wrapping a towel around her body, Karen stepped out of the washroom and made her way to the kitchen, opening the fridge to check on what she had to eat. Pulling out a plate of left overs, Karen narrowed her eyes and heated it up with her heat vision, pulling out a fork from the nearby drawer and plucking a bite of her chicken pot pie. Chewing her food and swallowing, Karen felt something was... Off. Taking another bite and another, she ate her dinner... Or in this late at night early breakfast like she was starving, and she was, but the food just didn't do it for her. It seemed bland and empty to her. Even after she picked her plate clean, she felt like she didn't eat anything substantial.

Going back to the fridge, she looked for something else to eat to help calm her stomach. Eating a ham sandwich, drinking several glasses of orange juice, even finishing up an entire bag of chips all by herself. But none of it made a dent.

Sitting herself back heavily on her couch and letting the towel slip, Karen stared up at the ceiling in annoyance. She felt hungry, but she already emptied half of her fridge. She should be tired but she just felt so restless.

"THIS never happened before... Maybe Clark was right about flying too close to the sun. Got so much energy I don't know what to do with. Will I even get to sleep?"

Thinking back to what happened the other day, Karen swooned to the memory of just sunbathing next to the corona of the sun, letting its energies seep into her and energize her. The sensation was so pleasant she thought she was already there, lolling her head back and forth as she felt the warmth bask over her. It wasn't until she fluttered her eyes open to discover it was already morning and day break had reached her window, shining morning sunlight over her nude body.

Getting to her feet and breathing in sharply, Power Girl stared at the sun, and licked her lips.

"Maybe I can go up for a recharge, just a top up. Clark will understand."
