Author's note: Hello again everyone! First off, thanks again for the support shown in my previous stories, it means a boat load to me! This next beginning of my Supergirl archive will be a lot longer than my previous work, I plan to make it at least 9-10 chapters. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this and I'll see you on the other side!
Chapter 1
'What the..?'
Yelling. Anger. Ice cream. That's all Kara can remember. The blonde wakes to find her head resting on her coffee table.
Lifting her head, Kara observes the room around her. She notices her apartment is trashed. The couch is flipped over, there are pictures on the ground, and there about three empty cartons of ice cream laying on the floor.
Looking down Kara notices she is in her Supergirl uniform. Her sleeves is torn and half of her cape is hanging off her shoulder.
'What happened?' she thinks. Reaching for her phone she checks the time. Crap! It 11:00 in the morning! Scrolling through her phone, Kara sees that there are 12 missed texts and about 20 missed calls, a few from Winn, but most are from Alex and J'onn.
After hitting the brunettes smiling face on her screen, Kara expects to wait a few seconds before she answers, but it's almost immediate.
"Kara?" a worried voice answers.
"Alex it's me. Is something wrong?" The alien asks, only to be answered with a scoff.
"I should be asking you that. Where did you fly off to yesterday?" Kara rubs her eyes, trying to remember the events from yesterday yet she draws a blank.
"I don't remember Alex. What happened?"
"Okay you should come to the DEO." the brunette says, not answering Kara's question.
"Alex-" she starts but is cut off.
"Kara, just get here." Alex doesn't wait for a response and hangs up the phone. Kara looks dumbfounded and tosses her phone on the couch.
She quickly changes into a spare uniform and picks up her living room before zooming out her window.
The whole flight to the DEO, Kara tries her best to think about what happened the day before, but she still can't remember.
She lands with a thud in front of the base, and faces an anxious looking brunette with her foot tapping the ground with her arms folded. Kara stumbles over to Alex expecting a lecture or a scowl, but instead she finds herself in an extremely tight hug.
"Come into my lab." she states briskly. Taking Kara's hand, Alex drags the alien through the base and tosses her into the room. Ignoring Kara's questions, the agent motions for Kara to sit down and she pulls out a tiny flash light.
"Look away from me." she orders. Kara complies and looks at the wall and Alex waves the light around the alien's eyes.
"Okay everything seems fine, nothing has changed since yesterday-"
"Alex, what the heck is going on!" Kara bursts. Alex relaxes her frantic state and sits on the desk, facing Kara.
"Do you really not remember what happened yesterday?" she asks simply. When Kara shakes her head, Alex sighs.
"Well yesterday around 5:00 p.m, a prisoner escaped and you came to help out. You two fought it out at first but then he sprayed some sort of dust in your face and you passed out. We managed to sedate the prisoner, but he wouldn't tell us what he did to you."
Kara took in this information nodding, vaguely remembering the large, blue, and very ugly alien.
"You woke up about five minutes later and I couldn't find anything wrong with you. You said you felt fine and you just flew off. I tried to call you last night but there was no answer so I assumed you were asleep. This morning though, Winn called me and told me you didn't show up for work and he couldn't get a hold of you. I tried calling but you still didn't answer. You really had me worried Kara, where were you?"
'Really worried' wasn't even close to how Alex was feeling. She was scared. Kara always answered her phone, day or night.
"I woke up in my apartment. The place was a mess and I was sleeping on my coffee table."
Alex tried to suppress a giggle, but she just couldn't do it.
Kara blushed and kept sharing her hazy memories, "I remember yelling. That, and being really mad. I didn't go 'Red Kryptonite' crazy did I?" the blonde asks fearfully.
"No, there would have been some sort of alert last night if you had. Whatever happened to you last night obviously wasn't crazy."
Kara breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the brunette. "That prisoner didn't hurt you did he?"
Alex returned the smile and boasted, "He didn't even have a chance to hit me." The two shared a good laugh and Kara's chest bubbled with emotion.
She was grateful she didn't forget Alex. Kara would rather chop off an arm than forget about the brunette. Kara could never forget her warm smile, her soft hair, and her entrancing hazel eyes.
"So, do you want to get some lunch?" the agent asked, grasping Kara's attention. The alien nodded and remarked about how hungry she was, to which Alex rolled her eyes.
Alex grabbed her coat and turned for the door with Kara closely at her heels. Alex expected to leave her lab and see agents busy at work, but she was greeted with a different sight.
All the agents had their backs to Kara and Alex with their heads down low. In front of them stood J'onn with a troubled look. He saw his top agent and he motioned her to meet him away from the crowd. One young agent looked back and when she saw Supergirl, she whipped her head back to her solemn stance.
"J'onn is something up?" the elder Danvers asked. Before answering, J'onn brought Kara and Alex further away from the bundle of ears.
"The Mayor was just found murdered outside of the town hall." he said in a hushed voice. Kara and Alex's eyes widened at this news and the blonde let out a small gasp.
"Who killed her?" she asked and J'onn sighed.
"That's just the thing. We don't know, but there is one thing about her body…" J'onn's pause made Alex impatient.
"J'onn what is it?"
The martian looked over their heads at the agents and back down to them. "She was found with two holes in her abdomen. Around the holes were burn marks. The detectives on the case are thinking the Mayor was killed with heat vision." with that last remark he looked at Kara sadly.
Kara's eyes grew with surprise and fear. "Wait are you saying they think I did it?" J'onn only looked more ashamed, not of Kara but himself.
"Kara... you disappeared yesterday without a single word. No one could find you, and the entry wounds are close enough to look like they came from a set of eyes." J'onn saw Kara's horrified expression and he quickly added, "I'm not saying I think it was you, but you need to tell me, where did you go last night?"
Kara grasped her head, trying to force her memory to return to her, but still nothing came back.
"I… I can't remember, I already told Alex, I barely remember anything from yesterday, I just woke up this morning in my apartment with fricking ice cream everywhere!" Kara was raising her voice and she froze, "Oh God.. did I kill the Mayor?" her voice trembled and she looked frantically back from Alex to J'onn, desperately wishing for an answer.
"That is not possible, when you left, you were fine. The Kara we know would never hurt someone who's innocent." Alex reassured her and J'onn nodded in agreement.
"Guys that doesn't mean anything. I can't remember what I did, and it wouldn't be the first time I've gone AWOL." Kara bursts.
"It'll be okay, we can fix this. Besides the acting detectives won't be able to investigate Supergirl fully. They have no idea who she is!" Alex remarks. She looks at J'onn for another nod but he only winces and sighs.
"Alex… the president has passed the investigation over to the military." Alex's jaw drops and she stammered, "W-why would she do that!? It's not like this was-"
"Somehow she was convinced to pass it on. I assume she decided to give it to the military because she doesn't want any DEO agents who are too close with Supergirl to ruin the investigation."
Alex only kept adding on, "But no one here even knows her real identity!"
"The President doesn't know that."
"Bu-"
"Guys, just stop arguing!" Kara shouts. "Listen I don't care who is investigating, I just want someone to figure out what the hell happened last night!"
J'onn patted her shoulder and calmed down. Alex on the other hand, still wanted to scream about how stupid this situation was, but instead she held her tongue. For a moment.
"Wait, what about the prisoner from yesterday, you know the one that knocked Kara out? Maybe he has a way of getting her memory back." Alex remarked.
J'onn didn't look convinced, but he was willing to try anything. "Okay, we'll go ask him."
The Martian led the girls to the cell's and Kara could feel the fear coming from the other agents as they passed them. They obviously were too worried to remember the Supergirl has super hearing. Kara heard things like, 'Do you think she did it?' and 'I can't believe Supergirl would kill the Mayor.'
Kara flinched at their words, and did her best to ignore the accusations.
The three entered the room that held the grotesque blue alien. He was sitting down and was tossing a ball up into the air. Glaring as he noticed them entering he asked in a gravely voice, "Ah Zor-El's daughter is still alive. What a pity."
"Shut up" Alex snapped. Kara gently put a hand on Alex's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.
"That toxin you through in my face, what does it do?" Kara asked calmly.
The alien only huffed and stood up. "Why would I tell you?" he said in a mocking voice.
"Because you're in a cell." J'onn said briskly. The alien glared again and sat back down.
"Yeah, thanks for that." Alex was losing her patience. "Listen you ugly son of a bitch, unless you want your ass kicked, again, you'll tell us what your toxin does to people or else." she threatened. The alien flinched. He wouldn't admit it, but the woman scared him a little bit.
"I don't know what it did to YOU. It affects everyone differently. For all I know it could have made you go cry in a corner. The only sure thing that happens, is that you eventually pass out and forget about the last couple of hours."
"How can you not know what your own body does?" Alex countered. The alien only glared at her and scoffed.
Kara's heart sank. That isn't what she wanted to hear right now.
"Is there anyway I can get my memory back?" she asks hopefully. The atrocious alien just shrugs and folds his arms.
"I have no idea, maybe it'll just come back to you. You're just lucky I didn't snap your neck when you passed out." He hissed.
With that, Kara frowned and stormed out of the room. Alex quickly followed her out with J'onn right behind her, ignoring the alien's voice.
"I'll get out of here one way or another, don't you forget that!"
Outside of the room, the three huddled up.
"I knew he wouldn't be of any help to us." J'onn starts.
Kara just shakes her head and says, "Guys I don't know what to do. I don't think my memory is coming back anytime soon, and we can't wait around. I think we should just let whoever is in charge of the inves-"
"Oh shit." J'onn interrupts. Both girls look at him in surprise.
"What is it J'onn?" Alex asks.
"I know who's leading the investigation." He whispers. Noticing their confused looks, J'onn points past Kara and Alex and they turn around.
"Oh shit." they say in sync, because standing at the entrance of the base, along with a dozen troops, is General Lane. The old man scans the area like a hawk, inspecting everyone as if they were a piece of meat. Kara's blood ran cold when his gaze shifted over to her and he glared.
"Supergirl!" he barked.
Kara gave him a frown in return and walked to him, but Alex quickly ran in front of her.
"What do you want Lane?" she started coldly. He may be a General, but Alex was in no mood to show any respect for that jack-ass.
"That's General Lane to you Agent Danvers, and I am here to arrest Supergirl for the murder of Mayor Caine!"
To be continued.
