My name is Kara Zor-El. When I was a child my planet Krypton was dying. I was sent to Earth to protect my cousin, but my pod got knocked off course and by the time I got here my cousin had grown up and become Superman. And so, I hid my powers and lived among humans working as an assistant to Cat Grant, a media mogul, at CatCo World Wide Media. Until not long ago when an accident forced me to reveal myself to the world. After that event, I became National City's hero. Just recently I had saved the city and the world from domination by a scheme called Myriad. Now, I work with my adoptive sister for the DEO to protect my city from alien life or anyone else that means to cause it harm. I am Supergirl.

I landed in my apartment and sunk to my couch. I groaned and closed my eyes. "Long day?" My head suddenly snapped up and I scanned my apartment. Alex was standing in the kitchen with a few boxes of pizza. I pulled myself off the couch slowly and grabbed a slice. "You have no clue. 3 building fires, 6 robberies, 2 car chases, and 1 extremely feisty cat in a tree." She laughed. "Sounds rough." She walked over to the couch and took a bite of her pizza. "Wait, where were you today?" She sat down. "Huh?"

"Usually you're at the DEO too. Where were you?"

"Oh, J'onn had me and Alpha team investigate suspected activity near the warehouses by the docks."

"He didn't tell me."

"It wasn't anything big. Just some robbers. Besides, you said yourself you were busy."

"Yeah I guess."

I sat down on a seat across from her and chewed my pizza methodically. "So how has the promotion at CatCo been?" I was still thinking about her mission. "Why didn't he at least tell me? I mean, I probably could've helped more if I knew and if something went wrong." She shook her head. "Don't worry about it Kara. You know that J'onn would've told you if he thought we were in danger in any way." I sighed and continued to eat my pizza.

Alex was staring at me. "Do I have something on my face?" She smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm just thinking about these past few months." I looked down at the 3rd box pizza. It was no longer calling my name. "Oh." Thoughts raced through my mind. Red Kryptonite? Myriad? Suddenly, my mind flashed back to the last few seconds I was conscious in space. The feeling of being stuck in an endless void sickened me and I felt uneasy. I caught my breath and pushed the pizza box away. "Kara?" She broke me out of my thoughts.

I looked back up at her. She was leaning closer and her eyebrow was raised. "You okay?" I nodded. "Yeah." I breathed softly. She leaned back and crossed her arms.

"I don't believe that. By now, that pizza would be gone." I glanced back at the box for a second. "It's just a lot to think about. I still can't believe all that happened just recently." I hugged myself tightly. Alex got up and sat next to me.

She wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "I know it is. Even I'm still trying to process it. If you ever want to talk about anything at all, Kara, you know that I will listen. I love you." I smiled. "I will. I love you too Alex."

The next morning, I made my way to CatCo. I entered my office and sat down. I still couldn't believe that Cat Grant had given me my own office. There was a knock on the door. I glanced up over my glasses and used my x-ray vision. It was Winn and he was carrying donuts. "Come in Winn." The door opened and Winn came in smiling. "Hi Kara. I'm really liking the new office." He placed the donuts down on my desk. "I know, it's great. I am still having a hard time believing this." He sat down on my chair. "Do you think this could mean a possible promotion for your favorite IT guy?" He wagged his eyebrows.

I glanced over at the donuts. "I could put in a good word, but it depends on what is in that box." He opened the top slowly. It was an assorted arrangement of donuts.

"I take it you're hungry?" I nodded. "Yeah, I left late today. Alex and I were up almost all night. I didn't have time to eat anything." He pushed the box to me. "YES!" I grabbed a glazed donut. "So." Winn glanced around and peered out the door. "Super friend talk?" I shook my head. "We are not calling ourselves that. Besides, James isn't-" At that moment, James strolled through the door. "Hey Kara." He smiled as he sat down.

He reached out for a donut, but Winn stopped him. "I wouldn't." He gestured to me. "Late night and no breakfast." He started to retract his hand. "No, its fine. You both can have some." They both smiled and took a donut. "So, super friends?" Winn asked. "We are not calling ourselves that." James stated. "I told you Winn. But sure." I quickly scanned the floor and it seemed that everyone was preoccupied. "There's been nothing out of the ordinary lately. No aliens. But something strange that I did notice is that there are more events going on than usual. Last night alone I was out until almost midnight."

James and Winn both exchanged glances. "What?" They both looked away quickly. "What's happening?" James avoided my eyes, but Winn wasn't as lucky. I stared him down and he quickly crumbled. "Rumor is that there is a new villain in town." I rolled my eyes. "Of course, there is. Who?"

"People said that his name is Simon Tycho."

"And?"

"That's it. He's got some deep roots in the Russian mafia, he's a bit violent and extremely intelligent, but that's it."

"Really? He doesn't sound that bad."

"I'm actually surprised that you didn't know. You do work at a media company and for the DEO." I sighed. "I know that. I've just been- a little preoccupied now."

Suddenly, there was a loud boom and the building rattled. The three of us stood up quickly. "What the hell was that?" James questioned. "Cover for me." I stated and ran off. There was only one thing that I knew that could've done that. I quickly changed and took to the skies.

As I flew over National City, I scanned the streets. Finally, I found what I was looking for; a streak of red and yellow. When I got closer, I noticed that there were 4 streaks speeding down Main Street.

I flew directly above the streak until we met outside the city's limits. Once it stopped, I saw four people collapse on the ground and the 4 streaks turned into one. I stared at his figure in disbelief. "Flash?"
