Chapter 1
Damien Darhk approached Laurel Lance and stabbed her with the arrow he just had acquired from Oliver. "Thank you for delivering a message to your father for his treachery," said Damien.
"No," said Thea. The entire vigilante team looked in horror at Laurel, whose stomach was bleeding.
"See you all later," smiled Damien Darhk, releasing his hold over Laurel and throwing her on the ground, while walking away from the room in the prison.
Laurel's vision got blurry, and she could hear voices around her head. She fell quickly to the ground, but the fall seemed to take eternity. She hadn't managed to hit the floor, as her body fell in energy whole, completely disappearing from sight.
"Laurel!" cried Oliver, but the Black Canary was gone.
The Flash arrived one second later. "Oh hey guys, I just learned about this new breach," said Barry, throwing a small canister on the breach, sealing it. Barry then saw various looks the Team Arrow was sending him, mainly confusion and slight annoyance.
"Have I done something wrong?" asked Barry.
"Flash, what have you done?" asked Oliver.
"I just sealed the last breach so that Zoom won't enter our world," said Barry.
"This breach led to another world?" asked Thea.
"Yeah," said Barry.
"Well, we need to get there to save Laurel," said Oliver.
Barry opened his mouth in shock. "Um, guys? I kind of sealed it, and no one can open the breach," said Barry, hearing his teammates in his radio transmitter. "Sorry, but I got to go, I will see you later. Some new meta is causing havoc in Central City," said Barry, zipping away in a flash.
On another Earth, Earth 3, Kara stood next to Cat Grant. She felt horrible after the Red Kryptonite fiasco, and desperately sought comfort. "Can I sit here for a while?" asked Kara.
"Of course," said Cat, standing close to her personal assistant. Kara looked down from the balcony on the ground, ashamed to look her boss in the face after she threw Cat from the window.
Suddenly, Laurel fell from the breach and landed on Cat Grant's desk. Kara immediately saw the masked vigilante lying helplessly on the desk. The two women ran inside and looked at Laurel.
"Tell my dad that I love him," said Laurel, closing her eyes.
Cat just snapped her fingers at Laurel's face. "Nobody's going to die in my office. Kiera, schedule an emergency visit with my personal doctor right now," said Cat.
"Right away Miss Grant," said Kara, rushing to the telephone, only realizing that she confirmed Cat's suspicions after she picked the phone. But she would argue with Cat later, right now she had to save a life.
"Hi," began Kara, quickly telling to the doctor that Cat scheduled an emergency visit. After the phone call, she looked back at her boss.
"Kiera, please help me change this woman into something different, since we don't want anyone to know that she is some kind of vigilante," said Cat Grant.
Kara nodded and immediately flew to her apartment, where she picked a few of her cloths, and returned promptly to the office. She span around Laurel, changing her into civilian clothing.
"Supergirl, we don't have time. Please fly both of us to the medical room," said Cat. Kara nodded, grabbed both Cat and Laurel, and flew to the hospital, where she usually booked Cat's appointments. When the three women arrived in the hospital, Cat's doctor greeted them.
"I found this woman stabbed. I want you to help her, and use any medical procedures necessary to save her life, no matter how costly," said Cat. The doctor nodded. Nurses arrived and brought Laurel into a surgery room.
"Miss Grant, why are you being so kind to a stranger," asked Kara.
"I saw a wounded woman, so of course I had to help. Besides, I have a feeling that she is some sort of superhero just like my assistant," said Cat.
"Miss Grant," said Kara.
"Kiera, drop the pretenses. I know that you are Supergirl. You even confirmed it back at the office," said Cat.
Kara blushed. "I hoped you haven't heard that," said Kara.
"Kiera," said Cat, walking one step towards Kara. "Your secret is safe with me. Don't worry; I realize that something was off. I am not mad at you."
"You are not mad? I threw you off the balcony!"
"You were not yourself, I could tell. I realize now that you had to keep your secrets, but please trust me in future. If you ever need someone to talk to, I will be happy to talk to you," said Cat.
The two women finally sat in the chairs in the waiting area. "Miss Grant, does this mean I am not being fired?" asked Kara.
"No, Kara, you can stay. In fact, I plan to go back to our former relationship we had, before you pushed Adam away and missed work," said Cat.
"You said my name right," said Kara, smiling.
"Yes. I always mispronounce my assistants' names not to get personal with them, but I feel we should not having a strictly professional relationship anymore and be friends," said Cat.
Kara smiled again. "Sorry about Adam. I fought Bizarro and was so worried," said Kara.
"I understand now why you felt you had to do it. I guess it wasn't you who gave me the wrong coffee," said Cat.
"What? Don't say Hank messed up," said Kara.
"I guess Hank is your shape shifting friend? To tell the truth, he was not convincing at being Kara Danvers," said Cat.
Kara then told about the Black Mercy plant and the Red Kryptonite. Kara and Cat talked for a few more hours.
The doctor returned after the two-hour surgery. "Miss Grant, the patient will leave, but she should not engage in any physical activity in the next week or two," said the doctor.
"When can she leave?" asked Cat.
"I prefer is she spent this night at the hospital," said the doctor. Cat nodded.
"I would like to talk to her. Also, send the invoice to me," said Cat. Doctor then left the room. Ten minutes later, Cat and Kara sat on the opposite sides of the hospital bed, where Laurel Lance rested.
"Hello, my name is Cat Grant, and this is Supergirl," said Cat. Laurel looked at the two women.
"Hi. My name is Laurel Lance, and I am not sure if I know where I am at right now," said Laurel.
"You are in the National City. We saved you from the stabbing you received. By the way, what was that costume?" asked Kara.
"You saw my costume," said Laurel. "Where is it?"
"Don't worry, I am also a superhero. Do you have any friends? Other heroes?" Kara asked.
"Yes, can you contact the Green Arrow, Spartan, Speedy, or Overwatch?" asked Laurel.
"I am sorry, who? I don't know these people," said Kara.
"Do you know the Flash?"
"Who is the Flash," said Kara. "I am sorry, but I have never heard of your friends. I just saw you appear from nowhere."
Laurel sighed. "I guess I am here to stay for the time being. I miss my family and friends, and my job as ADA. I had great plans to become the District Attorney at Star City," said Laurel.
"You are a lawyer, Miss Lance?" asked Cat.
"Yes," said Laurel.
"Why don't you work at CatCo? I am actually looking for the general counsel position, and you can stay there for a while. Meanwhile, Supergirl and her friends at CatCo could help you get back to your world," said Cat.
"I, I am not sure. I always wanted to become DA, and not work for some greedy corporation," said Laurel.
"Hey Laurel," said Kara. Laurel looked back at Supergirl. "While Miss Grant can be a very demanding boss, she is a good person, who want to truly help other people. You won't regret this offer."
"Thanks. I think I will take it, but only until I figure out how to get back home," said Laurel.
"Great. Supergirl, take a day off," said Cat Grant.
"I can fly you home," said Kara.
"That would be nice, Supergirl," said Cat. Kara took Cat and carried her to the place Cat lived, before flying away to check on Laurel again.
Two days later, Kara and Laurel arrived in CatCo. Kara held the latte in her hand, and gave it to Cat, when her boss emerged from the elevator.
"Thank you Kara. Miss Lance, welcome to CatCo," said Cat, walking in her office. "Kara, call James Olsen and that Computer Droid."
"Right away Miss Grant," said Kara. She found her two friends, while Laurel stood next to Cat's office, slightly confused at what was going on.
Kara soon arrived with two men walking next to her. The group then entered Cat's office. "Boys, this is Miss Laurel Lance. She will be the new general counsel at CatCo. Also, I want you three to figure out where Laurel came from," said Cat.
"Miss Grant?" asked Winn.
"Laurel Lance is not from here, and she is lost. I want you four to use that little room of yours to help her find her home," said Cat.
"Miss Grant?" asked James.
"Are we really going to do this game of pretend? I am not an idiot. I know that Kara is Supergirl. I also know that you use a room full of computers to help track crime in the National City," said Cat.
"You are Supergirl?" asked Laurel. "Thank you for saving my life the other night."
Kara smiled. "Now, boys be gone, girls stay. Kara, call the member of the local bar and ask him that I am collecting a favor. He will schedule the exam for Miss Lance to take in two days. Also tell him that I want the results promptly, and then I want Miss Lance to get admitted to the local bar by the end of the week," said Cat.
"Miss Grant, this is not how it works," said Kara.
"I don't care. I am Cat Grant, Queen of All Media, and I can want to collect on a few favors. Miss Lance will get admitted to the local bar," said Cat. She then looked at Laurel. "Are you sure you can handle this, Miss Lance?"
Laurel nodded. "I was one of the best students at Starling Law," said Laurel.
"Good. I expect you to have the license by the end of the week. It's only Wednesday, so you have plenty of time to take the exam on Friday and get the license on Sunday," said Cat.
Kara shook her head. Cat Grant really liked to make her own rules sometimes.
"In the meantime, please meet Kara's friends, who will help you find your home," said Cat. "Now off you go. I expect you to deliver this list of layouts within the next hour."
Kara nodded. After she gave the list, she showed the computer room to Laurel. "Let's search for Starling or Star City," said Winn. While he did find Star City, he did not manage to find anyone Laurel knew from there.
"Guys, I have a strange idea. Maybe Laurel is not from this universe," said Winn. James laughed.
"Common, Winn, I know that aliens exist and other civilizations, but parallel earths?" said James.
"My friend Barry time travelled. He also visited Earth 2, so I can confirm that multiple universes exist. It actually makes sense that I am in a new universe, since I cannot find any of my family or friends in here," said Laurel.
"I am so sorry Laurel," said Kara.
"I admit, I will miss my home, but I have a feeling that if I stayed, I would have died. Regardless, I need to adjust to life here since I have no idea how long it might take for me to be able to get back to Earth 1," said Laurel.
Next week, Laurel Lance became a full time general counsel at CatCo. A week later, Kara and Laurel stood next to each other, facing a hostile alien, who was robbing a bank.
"Let's do this," said Kara. She flew at the alien, while Laurel first used her Canary Cry, and then joined the fight.
A/N: I did not even plan to write this, but I felt I had to, since I did not like seeing Laurel die. So, I thought it would be interesting that instead, Laurel would join Supergirl team.
