Chapter 1
Kara sat in her chair, distraught at her newly formal relationship with her boss Cat Grant. To make things worse, Cat hired another assistant who was now given Kara's previous work, while Kara sometimes was reduced to helping the new assistant.
"Assistant Number Two, stay on the phone. Miss Smythe, prepare my office, I have an important meeting with Palmer Tech CEO in twenty minutes," said Cat Grant, walking past her two assistants.
Kara put her head on the desk. She so wanted to have a normal life, since working at DEO full time would have exhausted the young woman. And while Cat Grant was always a difficult person, Kara knew that Cat had admirable qualities. But lately, even working at CatCo became hell, since unlike her former years as an assistant, Cat never acted so emotionally detached.
Twenty minutes passed, and Kara heard a helicopter landing on the roof. She went upstairs to greet the guests. When she arrived on the roof, she saw two women. The first one sat in a wheelchair. She was blonde, and wore glasses. The other woman had darker hair, and she helped the first woman to exit the helicopter.
"Welcome to CatCo, Miss Smoak," said Kara. She smiled.
"Thank you. I am here to meet Cat Grant. My name is Felicity, and this is Laurel," said Felicity.
"Kara Danvers," said Kara. "Please follow me."
Kara led the two women in the building. After a brief trip down the elevator, they finally arrived at the main floor.
"Miss Grant's office is over there," said Kara.
"Thank you Kara," said Felicity. Laurel helped her to move forward towards the office.
"Olsen, get me those photos," said Cat Grant. The CatCo CEO then noticed the newly arrived women.
"My name is Cat Grant," said Cat, walking towards them, and shaking their hands.
"Felicity Smoak, and this is my friend Laurel Lance," said Felicity.
Cat then looked at Kara. "Assistant Number Two, bring me coffee."
"Assistant Number Two?" wondered Felicity.
"That's Kiera's title. We reached a mutual understanding to keep our relationship strictly professional," said Cat.
Felicity looked at Laurel. "I can get to the office," said Felicity. Laurel nodded and left.
"Lane!" said Laurel, noticing her law school classmate.
"Lance!" said Lucy. Laurel went to speak to Lucy, leaving the two CEOs alone.
"That is such a small world we share," joked Felicity.
"You are right. It only got smaller with the arrival of these aliens, including Supergirl," said Cat.
"I am surprised Supergirl hasn't met any other superheroes. I know that Green Arrow and Flash met," said Felicity.
"Ah, the world of the male superheroes! The world need to have some female role models as well," said Cat as they entered her office.
"I agree with that, but there is nothing wrong with male superheroes. Green Arrow is my favorite," said Felicity. She then looked at Siobhan.
"Can we talk in private?" Felicity asked Cat.
Cat sighed. "Miss Smythe, please make sure that Assistant Number Two is doing her job," said Cat Grant. Siobhan left.
"Tell me Miss Smoak, how did you manage to become the CEO of a multi billion dollar company so fast? You are barely older than Kiera," said Cat Grant, trying to get all the information from Felicity she could.
"It's funny actually. I first joined Queen Consolidated in IT department. I later met Oliver Queen, and he promoted me as his executive assistance. And before you say anything, we were not dating back then," said Felicity.
Cat smirked. "I am not saying you were," said Cat.
"So, when Oliver became copartner with Isabitch, sorry Isabel Rochev, I became the executive assistant. Later, Isabel took over Oliver's shares but died during the attack on the city by super strong soldiers. Ray Palmer became the CEO, changed the name to Palmer Tech, and promoted me to his Vice President. Before he died, he gave the company to me, and so I am the CEO of Palmer Tech,"
"Change it to Smoak. It would sound better," suggested Cat. "Regardless, you had an interesting life. I know Green Arrow saved your life."
"Saved me? No, I just saw him. Besides, the Green Arrow is a new hero, his predecessor Arrow was Roy Harper, and he died," said Felicity.
"Miss Smoak, I may be many things, but I am not a fool. I know that the Green Arrow is the Arrow. I also have suspicions that the Green Arrow is Oliver Queen, although I would never publish such a story, you see. First, the media will crucify me, since in the public's mind, they saw Oliver Queen and the Arrow at the same time, and more importantly I would never disclose a superhero identity, since that would make their job of saving people much harder," said Cat Grant.
"You are right, but the media will be the least of your worries. If you reveal his secret, I will show why they call me Bitch with Wi-Fi," said Felicity.
"My, my, you know how to keep people in line. I like it. I would never do such a thing as reveal his secret, but let's talk about you, and about your life," said Cat. The two women continued talking, with Felicity giving the exclusive interview to the Queen of All Media.
After Laurel finished talking to Lucy, she left to find Kara. She saw the young woman walking quickly with a latte.
"Kiera, I can bring the coffee myself," said Siobhan, taking the latte from Kara, and walking to the office.
"Miss Grant, here is your coffee," said Siobhan, when she opened the door to Cat's office, where Cat and Felicity were talking about Felicity's educational background.
"Thank you Miss Smythe," said Cat, continuing her discussion with Felicity.
Laurel approached Kara. "Hey, it's okay. You will have a whole new life ahead of you, where you won't be working for someone like Cat Grant," said Laurel.
"But Miss Grant is great! She is just mad at me for breaking up with her son," said Kara.
Laurel paused. "She still shouldn't treat you like this. Anyway, I have something for you," said Laurel, taking the envelope from her pocket, and giving it to Kara.
"Thanks," said Kara, opening the letter. She read the letter and dropped it on the ground. "What? Why?"
Siobhan saw Kara's reaction to the envelope and promptly lifted the letter. She then brought it to her boss.
"Kiera!" screamed Cat Grant.
"I am so dead," said Kara, walking quickly to the office. "Yes, Miss Grant?"
"Is that a job offer?" asked Cat.
"Yes?"
"When did you apply? How did you even get this? And why the hell does it list among the people who gave you recommendations Alex Danvers and Clark Kent? Who are these people?"
"Well, Alex is my sister, and Clark is my cousin," said Kara.
"You still haven't answered my question, Assistant Number Two, how did you even get this? How are your family connected to Palmer Tech?"
"Well, uh—"
"Kara didn't apply. I have friends in the government, who have connections with the other government agency, who know Alex, and Alex knows Kara," said Felicity.
"What?"
"Argus," said Felicity.
"Oh, I see, this is an actual job offer, not Kara's application. Why are you even offering it to her?" asked Cat.
"I heard that Kara was distraught at her current job from John, who heard from his wife Lyla, who heard from Hank Henshaw, who heard from Alex Danvers, who observed Kara's latest behavior at CatCo. Since I currently cannot walk, and the only friend I have at Palmer Tech works in IT, I thought I would accomplish two goals at once. I would give a job to Kara, while I get an assistant," said Felicity.
"You cannot do this. I need notice, I," Cat Grant panicked. Laurel entered the office.
"This is a record that Palmer Tech just transferred one million dollars to CatCo. Since you already have an assistant, and you actually promoted her over Kara, I don't think that Kara needs to give you any notice, since you already found her replacement," said Laurel.
"I, yes I know this, but Kara, do you really want to go? I—"
"Yes, Miss Grant. I liked working with you, even when you were difficult, but now you are making my life hell. I don't deserve this! My Aunt recently died, my Uncle tried to kill me, and you hired a replacement, while openly mocking me, and only now you pronounced my name correctly!"
"Kara,"
"No, I would have never even considered leaving CatCo, leaving you, but now I see it clearly. You are a cold-hearted monster, who will always like to make me miserable. Bye Miss Grant, I hope you are happy now," Kara then looked at Felicity. "I will accept this offer."
"See you on the roof," said Felicity. "We will wait for you to pack your belongings."
"It won't be long," said Kara. Felicity and Laurel left the office, with Siobhan also returning to her desk.
Cat clapped. "My, my, Kiera, you just showed your true colors. Again. And thanks to bringing me whole milk during your extreme short day at work recently," said Cat.
"I never brought you latte with whole milk in my life!" said Kara, lightly stomping on the ground.
"Someone has a lot of repressed anger," said Winn to James, pointing at Kara.
A large vase that stood on a nearby shelf shook, and began to fall. Kara instinctively grabbed it with one arm, and put it back up. She left the office, quickly packed her belongings, and then walked to the elevator.
"Never brought me a latte with whole milk? But you did during that day! Kiera, how did you manage to grab the vase with one hand? Wait a second," Cat remembered the discussion she had with Felicity about Green Arrow's identity. She had an epiphany. "Damn you Supergirl."
Cat dropped on her chair, and grabbed a bottle, filling a cup full of strong alcohol.
"Do you need anything, Miss Grant?" asked Siobhan.
"I am fine. Get to your table, Sharon," said Cat Grant, drinking the alcohol.
"Why have you lied to me, Kara? Why? If I only knew, I would have been nicer and more forgiving to you," thought Cat, drinking more alcohol.
Meanwhile, Kara entered the helicopter.
"How do you know Hank and Alex?" asked Kara.
"My friends John Diggle's wife Lyla is the head of Argus, and as such knows about DEO. Naturally, she met with Henshaw, who told us about your problems," said Felicity.
"DEO? What's that?" asked Kara, trying to look innocent.
"Kara, I know that you are Supergirl, and Oliver is the Green Arrow," smirked Laurel.
"What? How?" asked Kara.
"Because I am the Black Canary," said Laurel.
"Overwatch," said Felicity.
"Watch what?"
"No, I mean, I am Overwatch. That's my Superhero name, and I specialize in IT work and information gathering," said Felicity.
"I," said Kara
"Look, we know that you are Supergirl, and we had to give some excuse to get you out of CatCo. My offer was genuine, since I seriously need to have an assistant. All I want for you to provide you a safer environment," said Felicity.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Kara.
"People like us should stick together," said Felicity.
"I've seen you fly super fast. I think you should race with Barry sometime to see who is faster," said Laurel.
"Barry?"
"Barry is the Flash. Welcome to the Superhero world, Kara Danvers. We help each other in the time of need," said Felicity.
Kara looked at the window, looking at the disappearing CatCo building. She saw that Cat was standing by the window, looking at the horizon, and the small dot that was really the departing helicopter.
In a large mansion outside Star City, Damian Darhk stood in his office next to a TV. He then turned it off and looked at a coffin with a body of a brunette woman. "General Astra, I will resurrect you, and you will help me deal with some nuisances," said Damian. "Your newly formed bloodlust will help me deal with this Supergirl and other so called superheroes."
A/N: after reading a lot of Supergirl fanfics, and watching the show, got inspired to write this crossover. Don't worry, I plan to have SuperCat, but it will be a slow burn very angst filled journey. And Astra will return to life. I think I have a minority view here, but I plan to write Alex becoming a second niece to Astra, not Alex/Astra pairing. Anyhow, with resurection Astra will have blood lust, specifically geared towards Alex.
