Chapter 02:

“What the heck do you think you were doing?” Kara screamed as soon as she knew Alex and Maggie were safely away.

“I recognized her from last night. She was at the fight in the alley. She is a cop.”

“So? You decided that was a good reason to molest me? Why the hell are you walking around my apartment in… in… that? And then you put your arm around me? I should snap it off!”

“I had to think of a reason to be here! She would have been suspicious…” Oliver defended.

“Oh yeah, because she isn’t suspicious now. Great job, Mr I don’t get unnerved. Change into clothes, actual clothes, and as soon as Sara gets here and Mick stays in a motel we are going to the DEO.”

“Uh, the agency you work with? I don’t think thats the best idea.”

“You think your ninjas are trying to steal alien weapons. The DEO deals with rogue aliens and alien weapons. We are going there. You are going to explain to my sister that you are a liar! Who the hell skis through a bad neighborhood?”

“I wasn’t expecting an interrogation before I had my morning coffee!”

“Why aren’t you dressed yet? Dress before that towel… falls off. The next time you put an arm around me, I will break it off. Try using a bow with one arm.” Kara warned.

“No problem. Besides I am pretty sure your sister knows I’m a liar. Did you know she had a tracker on you?”

“Duh. I have a tracker on her also.”

“Why?”

“So we know where both of us are! We both get kidnapped pretty often. That sounds so wrong, but its true.” Kara admitted.

“Where does she think you were last week?” the Arrow asked, suspecting deception was at play. He would know.

“I… I may have told her I was at my cousin’s Fortress… why are you still half naked?”

Oliver threw his hands up, grabbed the clothing bag and walked to Kara’s room.

“Don’t sit on my bed!”

Taking a deep breath, she thought of grabbing coffee or heading back to the Alien bar and getting drunk. She doubted it was open this early though. Maybe M’gann, no she was in holding at the DEO for being a White Martian, although J’onn still hadn’t said what crime she actually committed. Thinking about it, J’onn actually attacked her. As she was pouring the cup of coffee her phone buzzed. Kara could guess who the text was from.

/Who the hell is he? WTF?/

/Stop using curse letters in texts. There isn’t a need for that language/

/I find a half naked man who looks like he has been skiing in bad neighborhoods in your apartment WTF is perfectly acceptable. Who is he? I know you have better taste/

/Of course I have better taste! Don’t be mean though. He isn’t a bad guy. Okay he can be rude, but he is a friend of Barry so I have to be nice/

/Barry? How the hell did you meet him? You told me the Allen guy came alone/

/He helped Barry and I fight off an alien invasion on Barry’s Earth last week! /

“Oh no. I shouldn’t have typed that. Can I pull it back? There must be someway to pull it back.” Kara mumbled, wondering why she didn’t think before sending texts.

/You fought off an alien invasion last week in another Universe? I must have read that wrong because you said you were at Clark’s hangout/

/I was/

/not/ Kara admitted.

/DEO, in an hour. Bring Rambo or I am bringing him in with cuffs on/

/Not a good idea. I would probably be best handling him/

Kara had no texts for a minute and a half, enjoying her coffee, and hoping Alex would let it go.

/He is a damn ninja, isn’t he?/

“Ohh, thats not good. Dating a detective has really helped her investigative instincts. How to answer this one?”

/ He is not a ninja /

/That I know of./ she continued. /Ninja’s wear black, right? He dresses in green. He is kind of a jerk but he is a hero on his Earth. He needs our help. Bringing him and his friend and hopefully not another jerk to DEO as soon as his friend and the jerk get here/

/What are his powers?/

“Hmm, honesty or lie? Thats a tough call. On the one hand if I make up a power, Alex is going to want to see it. If I tell her the truth she will tell Eliza.”

/He is really good with a bow and arrow./

A long period of silence, while Kara enjoyed a few more sips and grabbed two crullers out of the box.

/He shoots people with a bow and arrow, doesn’t he? U went to another Earth to fight an alien invasion without me and didn’t say a word. Now you have a half naked Ninja Robin Hood hanging on you this morning. I am so telling Mom/

Kara snorted. “Who does she think she is? I can do what I want. I’m not a child. Tell Eliza, see if I care.”

/Please don’t tell Eliza/

/Friend or not, DEO in an hour, or I am telling J’onn/

/Okay. Don’t tell J’onn. About the half naked part at least. That was embarrassing/

/One hour/

Oliver walked back in, wearing the clothes she had gotten him.

“What the hell is this?”

“I think you look nice.” Kara admitted. Okay so maybe he wasn’t dressed in his usual style but the green checkered dress shirt would look a lot better with the bow tie she bought. The Khaki slacks were a nice touch though.

“Nice? Should I wear glasses I don’t need also?”

Kara shrugged her shoulders. “I have an extra pair I got for Mon El, but he didn’t like them. You are more than welcome to wear them if you want.”

A knock on the door cut off any sarcastic remark that Oliver might have let loose. Kara squealed and opened it quickly, grabbing Sara before she had a chance to realize the door was open.

“I am so glad you are here. Can you send Oliver and Mick back… wait, where is Mick? Did he get killed?” Kara asked with a bit too much excitement.

Sara chuckled. “Nope, still alive and excited about seeing you again. He is hiding the car in an alley nearby.” The White Canary tossed a phone to Oliver.

“You look ridiculous.” she told him, enjoying this way too much.

“Thanks, Kara picked my wardrobe.”

“I think he looks professional. Where is your white suit?”

“I left it in the car.” Sara offered. Kara took in her tight jeans and tight black top that showed cleavage Kara wished she had.

“Wait, where did you get phones, and clothes and… a car?”

“Oh, uh… you see… its a funny story.”

“We stole them.” Mick answered, walking in while Sara dropped her head. “How you been skirt? I’ve been thinking about you every night, sometimes during the day.”

“Do not call me skirt! This my Earth. You are a… a… an idiot! From now on you will be called idiot on my Earth!”

“Oh, semi harsh language from Karen. No problem, I like a little fire in a woman. You aren’t using those little peepers of yours on me, are you?”

“Mick!” Sara scolded. “She is being nice enough to help us out. Behave! Sorry Kara. We didn’t steal the clothes and phones and car. We just… borrowed them. Once we have the bitch we came for, we are going to leave them on this Earth, I promise.”

“Oh, well thats okay, I guess. Just don’t… okay…” Kara tried, thinking of some way to justify this in her mind.

“Hey you work with some alien enforcement agency, right?” Sara asked.

“Yeah… at least I did. I may be fired after this, which come to think of it they don’t really pay me. That doesn’t seem right, does it?”

“I was thinking maybe you could take us there, find some info, maybe get some back up to take these guys down?” Sara suggested.

“Sara, I told her we had this.” Oliver argued immediately.

“Yeah, we have it alright. We are outnumbered in a strange universe with no backup, against an unfamiliar opponent who is after alien weapons. What we do have is a bad ass super heroine who happens to have a special ops team that specializes in aliens and their weapons watching her back. You are more than welcome to go after them on your own. I’m sticking with her.”

Kara smirked at the Arrow. “Glad to see Sara has common sense. Plus she is a better fighter than you. Lets go Sara. I do have to bring Oliver. He molested me when he was half naked in front of my sister and inferred that we slept together. Alex is going to get to beat him or she will tell my adoptive Mom. Eliza has serious lecture skills. She can make a saint feel guilty. If I give you money could the two of you take a taxi to the DEO while I fly there? Something tells me parking a stolen car in front of the DEO wouldn’t go over well.”

“What about me?” Heatwave asked.

“There is a bar about five blocks from here. You should check it out, see if you can find any of these ninjas you are looking for.” Kara suggested, knowing there was no bar anywhere near her apartment., especially one open this early. She wouldn’t do that to people who were out to have a good time.

“No deal. We are a team now. Where you go, I go.” he offered with a wicked grin.

“We can go two miles high and I can race you down.” Kara countered. “Show a little respect at the DEO, Just watch Sara and do what she does.”

“Sleep with the hot chicks in the room? I can handle that.”

“Mick! I don’t… always do that.”

“Queen of France.” Mick reminded her.

“She seduced me! Give me the address and we will meet you there, Kara. Thank you so much for your help.”

“No problem. Just keep these…”

“Mick will leave you alone. I’m not sure what Oliver did but he has had a rough week. He killed Felicity’s boyfriend.” Sara told her.

“It was an accident! I didn’t mean to kill him! I feel bad enough Sara, do we really have to bring this up?”

“Wait a minute.” Kara stopped his rant. “You were going out with Felicity and now you killed her boyfriend? She is so sweet. What happened?”

“I was chasing this serial killer who has been stalking me for months. He set up her boyfriend in his costume and I shot him. Please can we drop it?”

“So you were going to kill this serial killer?”

“Exactly. I didn’t know…”

“Why didn’t you just wrap him in one of your trick arrows?”

“Because… he had killed a lot of people and I wanted him dead, okay? Is that what you want to hear? I went there with the purpose of killing him and got played. I feel dumb enough so…”

“Did he just stand there? Were there other people? Did he have henchmen? Didn’t they say anything?”

“I… I may have… in my attempt to get to him, it was a fight and I was in a hurry…”

“He killed them all too, Karen. Now I’m not looking so bad, right?” Mick asked, stepping towards her until Sara hit him in the back of the head.

“So whats the address? We will meet you there and I promise these idiots will be on their best behavior. No killing anyone, right guys?”

“Yep, no problem.” Oliver agreed quickly.

“What if someone tries to kill me first?”

“Shut up Mick.”

Thirty two minutes later by Alex’s count, the trio from Earth 1 walked in, led by the skirted heroine, two of them carrying bags. Of course J’onn and Alex were at the end of the long walk, waiting for her, very disapproving faces present.

To make matters worse, every agent in the room stopped and stared at the newcomers.

“This isn’t uncomfortable at all.” Sara whispered.

“Your idea to come here.” Oliver reminded her. Kara sensing the tension, decided to break the ice. It had worked for her cousin.

“Hi everybody! These are my friends… two of them. The other is a friend of theirs. This is Oliver…”

“Green Arrow.” he corrected.

“And Sara…”

“White Canary.” she clarified.

“And this guy is… Mick.”

“Relax, I’m not allowed to kill anybody. Carry on with your business.”

All three glared at him, but the agents did walk away, most to the armory.

“Kara walked slowly towards the glaring Martian and her sister. Oliver decided to make amends, since Sara decided they needed these people.

“Good to see you again, Alex. I am sorry…”

Oliver’s apology was cut short when Alex hit him in the mouth. The Arrow grabbed his face, seeing a bit of blood.

“I probably deserved that.” he admitted.

“Touch my sister again and I will shoot your knee caps.” Alex promised. Oliver threw up his hands.

“Promise, no more touching. You caught me by surprise and I recognized your girlfriend from last night, knew she was a cop and figured…”

“That you would make my sister look like a Ho?”

“That wasn’t my intention. I just wanted…”

“Ollie please shut up before you make it worse.” Sara begged. “I apologize for him, I’ve done it a lot over the years. I’m Captain Sara Lance and this is my crew mate Mick Rory. I suppose you all know Oliver Queen now.”

“What exactly are you the Captain of?” J’onn asked.

“The Wave Rider. Its a time traveling ship…”

“It has a tractor beam. It is so cool.” Supergirl interrupted.

“And we protect the timeline of our Universe from people who are interested in changing it for their own gains.”

“You have a time traveling space ship!? That is so cool!” Winn shouted, having been listening from the sidelines but unable to stay quiet at this turn of events.

“Is there someplace private we can go and I can explain the situation?” Canary begged, wanting to get away from the open area, surrounded by men and women in black.

“Of course, as soon as your friend hands over the flamethrower.” J’onn told her, having read the man’s mind and being very disturbed by what he saw.

“I don’t hand over my…”

Kara had the weapon in J’onns hand before Heatwave could finish the sentence.

“Not nice Karen.”

J’onn morphed into his true form, grabbing the man by his throat. “I have read your mind. Her name is Kara. You will call her Supergirl no matter how stupid you think the name is. She is not Karen, Skirt, or Blondie and is certainly not the other name in your head.”

“There is another name? What is it?” Kara asked, disturbed.

“You don’t want to know. Welcome to the DEO, Captain Lance.”

“Sara, please.”

“Of course. I am the director, J’onn and this is Supergirl’s sister Alex. We will give you any help you need while you are here. You seem like an honorable person. You,” he looked at Oliver, ” touch her again and I will give you a lobotomy. Follow me.”

Inside the conference room, Sara explained the situation.

“So that is where we are at. If Lady Shiva gets to…”

“Lady Shiva?” Oliver interrupted. “She has a title now?”

“She has had a title for many years. I ran into her when I was a member of the League of Assassins. She is no joke and neither are her Brotherhood.”

“Did you say League of Assassins?” Alex asked, alarming Kara.

“On their Earth assassins is what they call superheroes. We would say League of Superheroes.” Supergirl told the two, but her attempt at softening the blow by lying poorly was cut short when Mick coughed, sounding like he said a word involving male cows and fecal matter.

“Okay, first we have to figure out where she would get the weapons” Alex told the group. “I doubt she would attack here and Cadmus certainly isn’t volunteering. Who would be the easiest target?”

“Who has been in the news lately for creating weapons to counter the alien weapons?” “J’onn asked, looking at Kara.

“Wait a minute. She probably isn’t happy with me. When I accused her mother of being the head of Cadmus, Lena sort of kicked me out.”

“But you were right and Lena is the one who took her down.” Alex reminded her, doubting in the limited interactions she had seen Lena and Kara in, that the woman would stay mad at her sister. Of course she wasn’t mad at her sister, just Supergirl. “Tell her you want to follow up on her personally taking down Cadmus and her own mother. Play to her ego and warn her that there are rumors her company will be attacked by Alien hating terrorists.”

Kara didn’t feel right about this, not wanting to play Lena. Everyone at the table was looking at her now. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to warn her. That way she could be ready and I could protect her… I mean the company, yeah the company, if the Brotherhood attacked her… I mean the company.”

“I’ll come with you if that is okay. I will recognize anyone casing the place.” Sara offered.

“Great! Just you though… unless Alex, you can come also, just not…”

“I need a workshop, metal fabrication if you have one. I used up quite a few arrows and weapons in our initial battle. I need to make as many as I can, as quickly as I can.”

“Mr. Schott will show you to a suitable area. Your friend Mick Rory however…”

“We could put him in the cell with the White Martian! I bet he would love getting to know a visitor from another planet.” Kara suggested. J’onn sighed while Alex gave it serious thought.

“We have a break room, filled with many agents throughout the day. You are welcome to eat and wait. Just don’t leave the room, until your Captain comes for you.” The Martian told him in no uncertain terms.

“Can I have my flame…

“No!” five voices said at once.

Before Kara could leave, Alex pulled her to the side. The Kryptonian groaned, knowing this had been coming.

“You didn’t think you should mention traveling to another Universe to fight an alien invasion to me, Kara?”

“I owed Barry a favor and knew you would either want to come or try to talk me out of it. If something happened to both of us, Jeremiah would never have a chance of escaping.”

“You could have left a note in your apartment! What if you were killed? Nobody would ever know what happened to you!”

“Sorry? I was kind of in the moment and fighting with Barry is so much fun. He is a great guy, not at all like Oliver. Oliver isn’t bad, just… different. Sara was really cool, you should see her in her white uniform. It fits her so well and is so bad ass. She has throwing stars and this staff that she can really kick butt with, she also piloted the ship and used a tractor beam to stop this alien bomb from hitting the ground, okay Firestorm did turn it to water but she caught it and…”

“Oh my God, another one.” Alex whispered, wondering if Kara would ever realize her fascination with powerful women. Cat Grant, Lena Luthor and now a time traveling assassin.

“Another what?”

“Nothing. What do you really know about her besides the time traveling ship and her past affiliation with a group called the League of Assassins?”

“I got to know her quite a bit at the victory party. She was dead for six months and resurrected, she slept with the Queen of France, she totally kicks ass, she has this awesome suit, did I mention that, it is so hot on her and she hasn’t killed anyone in a couple of centuries.”

“Because she time traveled, right?”

Kara sighed. “Couldn’t get that past you, could I? Yes her and Vixen may have gotten in a fight with some Samurais and real ninjas a few weeks ago but those guys started it, she just ended it. She is cool, powerful, has a beautiful smile but she can also be really intimidating…”

“At least she is younger than Cat Grant.” Alex mumbled. Of course Kara heard.

“What does Miss Grant have to do with anything?”

“Nothing. Go check in with Lena. I’m going to see if Winn has gotten anywhere with searching the city for strange clusters of energy spikes in the city. If we can find a large stockpile, maybe we can hit Cadmus and take this Lady Shiva out. Be careful huh? Call me if you see any ninjas with alien weapons. Promise?”

“Yes.”

“And do not travel dimensions without me again, or… or… or I’m telling Mom.”

“I will tell you first, I promise. I have to go, Sara is probably waiting and I really need to smooth things over with Lena, at least between Lena and Supergirl. I don’t like her being mad at me. She is so smart and the way she looks at me, her eyes are beautiful and strong, and we have so much in common with her trying to make a name for herself outside of Lex and me and Kal…”

“Go!”

“No reason to be snippy. Want anything to eat while I am out?”

“Orange Chicken and fried rice. Thanks, love you.”

“Love you.”

A few minutes later Kara and Sara landed in an alley next to the L Corp building. Kara changed quickly back to her civilian persona and clothes.

“I never would have thought a pony tail and some glasses would be a good disguise but you pull off the hot superhero and the hot secretary look well. Sorry, reporter.”

“Thank you! Did you like flying?”

“Yeah, I’ve never really done it before, even with the people I have known who can fly. It was… interesting. Do you always hold yourself around your passenger like that? Not that I am complaining. I am definitely not complaining.”

“No, I usually just grab whoever by the shoulders but I wanted to make sure I didn’t drop you. I wasn’t holding you too tight, was I?”

“Definitely not. Okay, so how do we get up to see this Lena Luthor? I would imagine being a CEO she probably has a lot of appointments.”

“Oh its no problem. She told her receptionist that I can come see her anytime I want, no appointment needed. All access pass.” Kara told her proudly. Sara was surprised.

“You are a reporter. She knows you are a reporter. She is a CEO of a billion dollar corporation. She gave you all access, just like that?”

“Yep. I was surprised too but I think we share a connection. Its weird I know but… why are you looking at me like that?”

“No reason. I realize we didn’t get a lot of time to really know each other and we are kind of on a clock here, but could I ask you some questions… some personal questions?”

Kara was confused, thinking Sara would want to catch the bad guys and protect Lena as quickly as possible but the look on her face made her hard to turn down.

“Of course.”

“Have you ever had… a boyfriend?”

“Oh,” Kara started, taken off guard by the question. “I… there was this guy I liked last year, I was crazy about him, but he had this girlfriend. She was gorgeous. She had these amazing eyes and her lips, wow, I wish I had her lips. Anyway they broke up and we finally got together. I kissed him, twice, of course they were separated because of end of the world stuff, but after everything calmed down… I just, I don’t know. We could be together, there was nothing holding us back, he wanted to be with me but… it didn’t feel right? I guess I think, no I know, I needed some time to find myself. But yeah, other than that… there is kind of a guy now. He drove me crazy at first, we come from rival planets, our planets hated each other but together we don’t feel so alone, you know? I love Alex but having someone who remembers their planet and losing it, he can kind of understand me. We actually… he was dying from this alien virus that my father created, my dead father, and I felt horrible but… we kind of kissed each other when he woke up.”

“Okay…”

“But then he said he didn’t remember it. It was kind of a relief and kind of made me a little hurt. He told me I was absolutely beautiful. Can you believe that?”

“Absolutely.” Sara agreed, eyes running over the blonde, now in fairly tight slacks and a form fitting sweater.

“Anyway, I thought he might want to mate with me but…”

“Hold up. Mate?”

“Oh no. Thats what we would call dating on our planets. I guess mate is the closest translation. We had arranged marriages or mates and I think he likes me but he said he didn’t like, like me. You know what I mean?”

“You are killing me with your innocence.” Sara grumbled. If only the girl wasn’t so sweet, Shiva could wait.

“Anyway, I’m not pursuing it. If he wants me he can admit it to me. But yeah, other than that, nobody in my life.”

“No… no girls?”

Kara’s eyebrows rose and she adjusted her glasses. “You are thinking of Alex. She just realized she was gay. Its so great that she has discovered this and is open to romance, but no, not me.”

“So you have never found any girls… beautiful?”

“Besides, you and Lena and Miss Grant, and Vixen and Lucy Lane? No never… okay Felicity was kind of cute. I love her glasses. It is so sad Oliver killed her boyfriend. But no, besides the ones I mentioned… there was this cheerleader in high school, Rao, I wish I had her legs…”

“I bet you did.”

“What? Oh, okay, we should really talk to Lena. I don’t like the idea of ninjas out to get her. I have already had to save her a few times in the past couple months. I just want her safe. She has saved me and my friends a couple times, even gunned down this… why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something in my teeth?”

Sara shook her head. “Lets go check on your good friend, you poor confused child.”

In the lobby to Sara’s shock, Kara was instantly recognized by the security guard at the front desk.

“Good morning Miss Danvers.”

“You know me?”

“Miss Luthor has given your picture to every employee here with instructions that you are to be brought to her immediately. Apparently she hasn’t seen you in a week and was worried. She is in a board meeting but we have instructions to alert her immediately. Do you know the way to her office?”

“Something tells me she does.” Sara mumbled.

Within seconds Kara was ushered to a private elevator and walked confidently to Lena’s huge office.

“Nice view.” Sara admitted.

“I know. I love to come hang out on the balcony. I miss hanging out on the balcony with Miss Grant but here, it feels good to.”

“Hanging out on the balcony. So that is what it is called in this Universe.”

“Kara!”

Both women turned to find what Sara could only think of as a sex on legs. The dark black dress, the cut out stiletto heels,the dark blood red lipstick, her midnight black hair hanging in a simple pony tail down the whole of her back, her smoky eyes… and those eyes were looking at Kara like Mick looked at matches.

“Hi Lena! I hope you don’t mind me dropping in…”

“I’ve been worried about you. I haven’t seen you in a week, I stopped by your apartment but no one answered, I called your work and when you hadn’t been in that acting CEO Olsen said you had taken a few days off and wasn’t sure where you were. I hoped Supergirl might drop by and give me a hint but…”

“You did all this because you hadn’t seen her in a week?” the Canary asked. Surely Kara couldn’t be this oblivious… right?

“I’m sorry, who are you? Are you with Kara?”

Sara had an idea Lena wasn’t asking about how she got up here when she said with.

“Sara Lance, Homeland Security. I’m afraid I don’t have a badge, Kara sort of rushed me here. I work with her sister.”

“The FBI agent? You said…”

“Yes, I work in conjunction with the FBI. I am not supposed to tell you my real name or what it is I do exactly. Kara has some information and insisted that you be told immediately, so I am breaking protocol this once.”

“I see. Kara have a seat. Your friend also. Is this information you want to tell me alone? I can have a tour of the building arranged for her while we talk.”

“No, actually, I am here for two reasons. One, I wanted to tell you how amazing it was, saving all those people like you did, the aliens, turning in your mother… Supergirl thinks so too. You really helped her out.”

Lena waved it away. “I actually kicked her out of my office when she told me her suspicions about my mother. I thought she might be trying to frame a Luthor, but she told me that I was… she said some really inspiring things to me and… honestly, I think I just didn’t want to admit my mother was capable of such a thing, not to her, or you. This world thinks the worst of my family and now with my brother and mother in prison… I hope this doesn’t change how you perceive me, Kara?”

“Of course not! What you did was so amazing. I would like to write a story about it, giving you a lot more credit than you received in the initial coverage. You were a real hero.”

So much for sleeping with Supergirl, was Sara’s primary thought, watching the two fan girling over each other. Not that she had planned to. Okay, the thought may have crossed her mind.

“Speaking of heroes, have you spoken to Supergirl? I couldn’t help but notice she was not seen the entire time you took your little vacation. I was wondering…”

“Total coincidence!” Kara nearly shouted, forcing Sara to hold back another eye roll.

“Oh, okay. I’ll admit for a second I thought you two might be…”

“Might be what?” the blonde asked nervously.

“Together? Off somewhere alone? You never did tell me how you two became close. You are close to her obviously. Is there perhaps more than friendship?”

“No, I’m not sure what you mean but we are just friends.” Kara told her, relieved that Lena hadn’t suspected they were the same person but not sure what exactly she was inferring.

“But you know who she is,” Lena continued, “You know who she really is. You must be very close to be trusted with that knowledge. Has she ever let you wear her cape?” the woman teased.

“No, gosh no. I would look ridiculous in a cape. Just silly. I couldn’t pull it off, not the way she can.”

“I have an idea you would look great in a cape. Maybe you can dress like her at our upcoming Halloween party? I was wanting to ask you to be my guest but of course you had disappeared.”

“What? You want me to dress like… Supergirl?”

“And this gets kinkier and kinkier.” Sara mumbled. “Maybe we should get to the point. Miss Luthor, there is a terrorist organization in National City and we believe their goal is to steal alien weapons. Since your company and more to the point you, have been in the news with recent victories over rogue aliens we are concerned that your company may be a target. Do you have any weapons that could be considered, developmental perhaps? Something a terrorist would like to have?”

“I have quite a few armaments being developed in our R&D division, on the outskirts of the City. Should anyone want weapons of the nature of which you are speaking, we have quite a few prototypes. Not alien weapons but weapons to assist the law enforcement community should Supergirl ever need assistance protecting citizens.”

“You are developing weapons to help Supergirl?” Sara asked, trying not to roll her eyes.

“She is important to Kara and has saved my life more than once. She believes in me like Kara, and I do not have many people in my life who do.”

“You should. You are amazing. I bet Supergirl thinks the same thing. She was really upset after the last talk you had.”

“Yes, I almost thought that you were staying away because she had told you… and with the two of you being close…”

“For God’s sake, Kara isn’t doing Supergirl! Can we focus?” Sara begged. “With your permission we would like to set up a sting operation tonight, in the event that the group attempts to rob the R&D division. If you could ask your employees to stay away and allow us to enter and protect…”

“Of course. I will be there as well. If someone is going to try and steal my toys I plan to watch them fail.”

“Lena, it could be dangerous. Why don’t you stay home, where it is safe?”

“Would you like to come over Kara? Perhaps we could watch a movie? I’ve been binge watching Homeland on Netflix. I saw your Facebook page. You are quite the fan, aren’t you? We can order some of your favorites. I saw several restaurant reviews on your page, maybe we can order…”

“You stalk her on Facebook?” the Canary interrupted. “Kara will be there because she needs to cover the story or something. Make up whatever reason you want. We really need you safe somewhere else. There could be violence and no innocents need to be around.”

“But Kara is going to be there? I appreciate you giving her a scoop but they don’t come much more innocent than Kara. If she is there I will be as well. So tonight? There is a control room in the middle of the complex, completely safe, bullet proof glass and impossible to breach from the outside. We can watch the possible gunfight together, alone, safely. Can we call it a date Kara?”

“Yeah… yes, sure. I guess. I can’t think of a good reason why I shouldn’t be there.” Kara admitted, wishing she could. This would complicate things so much.

“Then I will see you tonight, say 6? Meet me here and my driver will take us there early so we can get, settled in. I’ll bring the wine.”

“Okay, its a date… not a date… you know what I mean… okay, bye.” Kara finished, flustered as she often was in Lena’s presence.

The two superheroes walked out of the building towards the alley they had landed. Before Kara could change Sara grabbed her arm.

“Are you serious?”

“About what?”

“At the victory party, when Jax brought all those pizzas and lined them out on the table. You looked like you wanted to inhale them all. Consume them, eat every bite.”

“Flying burns a lot of calories.” Kara weakly defended.

“I have great eyesight. You know that.”

“Kara, honey, you probably don’t know this but I am what is called bi sexual. Do you know what that means?”

Kara snorted. “Of course I do. You like girls and guys. Big deal, Alex is into girls, I don’t care.”

“Sweetie you are bisexual. Possibly just gay and in denial but definitely at least bi sexual.”
