"Human enough for the DEO to be absolutely certain I am." Laura smiled.
"But, thanks to something a few years ago I'm a preternatural human.
Possibly the only one. Belief creates power and just as humans tell stories
about animals animals tell stories about humans. Thanks to cats I can open
any tin at any time without trouble. We are walking can openers to some of
them. And thanks to dogs opinion on humans I basically have no sense of
smell." In practice she borrowed Carmilla's.
She shrugged. "My most important ability is that while I am around them I
can use a reflection of the standard abilities of my 'pack'. So if I had a
horse I could run at a comfortable place for that horse although couldn't
match its gallop. When my pack has a Kryptonian? I can fly at what she
would consider a gentle jog."
She let that sink in before continuing "But you're angry at Kara who's as
enthusiastic as a puppy. And you're smart. Can you tell me that if you
hadn't wanted your friend to be a normal person as much as she wanted
someone to treat her as one rather than as Supergirl she wouldn't have
given herself away a dozen times in really obvious ways? A ponytail and
glasses aren't a good disguise."
