Taylor Hebert was born and raised in Brockton Bay, or so she thought. Growing up, she began to realize that she could [[SuperSenses see and hear things]] that no one else could, she never grew sick, and she never got so much as a scrape on the knee. Nonetheless, she simply concealed that part of her and enjoyed a relatively normal (if isolated) life...

...until she and Emma are [[ForWantOfANail attacked in an alleyway by ABB thugs]]. To her surprise, she manages to brutally fight off the attackers and save Emma. Terrified, she runs home and reveals what happened to her father, who in turn reveals a secret about her birth...

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11219388/1/The-Last-Daughter The Last Daughter]]'' is a Literature/Worm {{Alternate Universe Fic}} that makes Taylor the last living Kryptonian, named Zara Jor-El at birth, instead of a parahuman. Inspired by a message left by her birth father, she decides to become a hero, bringing her into conflict with the various villains of Brockton Bay.

!This fanfic contains examples of the following:

* AdaptationalBadass: Taylor was already badass in canon, but here she is capable of rolling over just about anyone she winds up fighting, [[spoiler: and actually manages to ''kill Behemoth'']].
* AlienBlood: [[spoiler: After the Behemoth fight, it is noted that Taylor's blood is actually a bright pink]].
* AlternateUniverseFic: Canon is pretty much derailed, starting with Taylor's ''birth''.
** Taylor is with Emma when she is attacked by the ABB two years before the start of canon Worm. As such, she rescues Emma before Shadow Stalker can intervene and prevents the dissolution of their friendship.
** On her first night out, Taylor fights Hookwolf instead of Lung and ends up meeting Miss Milita after the fight.
** The rosters of various teams and gangs are different due to the earlier setting.
* AncientAstronauts: [[spoiler: It turns out that Krypton had sent a failed colony ship to Earth, just like Film/ManOfSteel]].
* BizarreAlienBiology: Kryptonians, as per the comics, but played {{Up to Eleven}}
** It turns out that her insides are ''weird''. [[spoiler: When Amy is attempting to heal Taylor after the Behemoth fight, she notes that her bones are actually crystalline.]]
** {{Human Aliens}} are also subverted in the story. It turns out that Jor-El gave her gene therapies to make her look more human.
