Kara Danvers was perfectly ordinary, nothing special about her at all. She lived in National City, she shared an apartment with her sister and she was a reporter at Cat Co worldwide media. It was a job she had always aspired too for some reason.

Today was her first day as a reporter and boy was she nervous.

"Alex should I go with the blue or the white dress?" Kara called out to her sister who was currently making them breakfast figuring if she didn't make something for Kara to eat she would forget then faint at work due to lack of caloric intake. She had taken to doing it on stressful days after an exam week at school where Kara had collapsed and the nurse had diagnosed her as not eating enough even though everyone that knew her knew she sometimes ate enough to feed four horses. There was a rumour for a long time about her sister being bulimic, it had been a bad time for Kara and Alex was determined to never let stuff like that happen again

"The blue one!" Called back Alex from where she was stacking pancakes, "It's your colour plus the office walls will be covered in whiteboards and you will want to be seen today!" she added, previously Kara had just been an assistant to the head of the company and was very much seen and not heard.

"Okay!" Kara called back and then in the next second there her sister seated behind the pancake stack with her makeup done perfectly her hair done up in a high ponytail and curled complete with the blue dress and her best sisters forever necklace that she refused to take off.

"When your done eating please can you do my makeup" Alex pleaded, she was running a little late and she didn't normally bother but today she was meeting with an important rep and she didn't want to look like she had only gotten two hours of sleep.

Kara nodded affirmative as she stuffed her face with Pancakes like a proper lady before dashing off and Alex felt a gush of air over her face before Kara appeared back in front of her, "Done!" she proclaimed and handed Alex a mirror she gave it a quick glance and was happy with what she saw

"Thank you Kara" she said as she grabbed her handbag and car keys, "I will see you later after your big day we will get pizza yeah?" she finished and Kara put her thumbs up in the affirmative as she turned to close the door behind her.

Kara was not far behind. She didn't drive there was little point, she flew to work since the apartment she shared with Alex was pretty far out of the city which was better for the work Alex did at the research lab and Kara didn't mind the extra 3 minute flight time to work.

Kara entered the building at cat co for once with just her own coffee, no special one for Ms. Grant and entered the lift to head up to a different floor than the one she was used too. She was going to miss her desk mate Winn but she was so excited to finally begin work as a reporter.

Her new boss was nothing like Cat, well in some ways he was but he was a very surly man and he didn't react well to Kara's natural peppy nature. She was one of three new interns and he apparently had picked her to get the worst city assignment,

"Now you each have a city your focus is that city, what's going on in the city head out there to interview people that area is your main focus and I will be reviewing your work to see who gets to move up to bigger and better things" he monologues,

After the briefing was over Kara asked one of the reporters she knew vaguely well why it was so bad to get Central City, it was a pretty interesting place especially with all the hype about STAR labs in the news recently getting ready to turn on the particle accelerator.

The journalist looked at her with narrow eyes before blinking a few times, "Oh you're not joking, have you never been to Central City?" she asked and Kara shook her head, if she was honest she had barely left her home state.

"Well it's a nightmare to get to, even by car so every intern he assigns is pretty much burnt out from all the travel no mind then researching, writing and investigating and finding time for interviews, he could just hire a freelancer their permanently but he just likes to weed out the intern he likes the least" he explained

"Oh" Kara said feeling a little small as the journalist left patting her on the shoulder. But then she thought about it, this would be the best chance to prove herself, after all who else could juggle all that but her? She would have to be careful not to reveal her identity with all the zooming between cities but this was totally do-able, this might have been the best thing to fall into her lap.

Kara smiled with renewed energy and hopped onto her assigned laptop on the counter, without a chair, chairs are not for interns apparently and got to work.

By the end of the day she had leads on a few interesting crimes that had been happening in the city and other small happier stories that suited the cat co magazine theme and she wrote them all down to go and investigate them during the rest of the week.

She was bursting with energy by the time she got back to the flat her and Alex shared, she had beaten her sister home. Normally she had used up at least some of her energy running around for things for Cat all day but today she had pretty much been still all day.

Deciding to investigate how long it would actually take her to get to Central City she got changed out of her work clothes into a more comfortable set of jeans and a jumper and headed off into the sky.

She got back just as her sister was coming in the door with Pizza and Pot stickers, it had only taken her a round trip of forty minutes so that really wasn't bad.

"Been anywhere nice?" Alex asked as she popped the pizza on the side and put away her coat and handbag,

"Just checking out flight times to my assigned city" Kara beamed, "I got the most challenging assignment so I can really prove myself with this" she opened one of the boxes and pulled away a slice of pizza

"Hey you don't look so happy, did you have a bad day?" Kara asked catching a look in her sister's eye

"No it's just" Alex looked up and caught her sister's eyes, "Honestly it's just a small set back in my research but it's so frustrating because we had gotten so far!"

Kara quickly swept Alex into a hug, "A setback is a setback good thing we already have pizza and potstickers to cheer you up"

Alex sighed, "Yeah but we're meant to be celebrating your first day" she reasoned with her sister

"Then it's a pity party" Kara reasoned and grabbed another slice of pizza which Alex did too before it was all gone,

"That's not quite the meaning of pity party but alright, tell me about this assignment then"

Kara filled her in on it all and explained why it was the hated assignment but figured the reason it was so hated would only play to her strengths over what she had learnt over the past few years as Cats assistant and through use of her powers.

Alex just reminded her to be careful before they flipped on Netflix argued a little over what to watch before deciding on the same film at the same time,

"You remember when I first convinced you to watch this?" Alex asked Kara as the titles for 'The Little Mermaid' started up

"Yes, you were just getting over me as an addition to the house when you realised my being new to earth meant I had never ever seen disney before and I don't think you looked back after that"

Alex laughed, "I made mum and dad buy nearly every video so I could show them to you after school" then she looked a little sad at the mention of her dad before shoving another slice of pizza in her mouth

"This first one is still my favourite" Kara sighed and they settled back to watch the film, sharing the blanket that Alex's grandmother had made them.

Alex hadn't really had a research setback. She had prepared for months for this briefing to get permission for a covert operation and she had been granted permission for the operation and funding but not the lead. She was currently furious at her boss Hank Henshaw for taking her off the case she had worked so hard on she had stayed late to try and confront him when he was leaving but the man didn't seem to leave the building! So she gave up and drove home getting the usual order form the pizza place on the way. They knew her by name and I bet they probably had a pool going as to how long it was before she was too large to fit through the restaurant doors with the amount she bought.

Alex looked to her little sister who had fallen asleep before the end of The Little Mermaid, one day maybe she could be truthful about her work at the department of extranormal operations. There was all kinds of stuff there they had recovered from her pod when it had crashed landed but Kara had never been interested in the Kryptonian side of her for as long as Alex could remember. She used her powers minimally always keeping the lead lined glasses on her nose which Alex was now carefully removing from Kara's face with both hands as they were really heavy.

She tucked the blanket they had been sharing around her, switched off the TV and headed for her own bed wondering how Kara's new position would affect the social life they shared.
