Hey guys, this is issue one of my first Supergirl Fanfic. I'm planning to do a couple of issues here and if you and I like it there will be a Volume #2. The next ones will be a bit longer and please leave a review of how you guys like my writings. In theory this could all have taken place during season one of Supergirl for your personal headcanon ;) There are spoilers for about the first half of the season. Thank's for giving this a shot.

Issue #1: "We have an emergency!"

Kara Danvers sat on her couch at home, watching TV, eating pizza, and enjoying the Tuesday evening. It was getting late and she decided to go to bed soon ('cause she had to go to work tomorrow) but before she could finish the last slice of pepperoni pizza her phone started to ring and showed a picture of Kara's sister, Alex. Frowning, Kara picked it up and answered.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Sorry to have to call you over so late but we have an emergency! We need Supergirl", her sister told her. Kara thought that Alex sounded very tense. And she was breathing hard like she'd been running.

"Wait, are you still at the DEO? What's going on?" Kara asked, quickly getting up from the couch and heading towards her closet with the Supergirl-Suit in it.

"We've had a security breach", her sister explained. It sounded like she had started running again and in the background Kara could make out a sound like a growling dog, but a big one.

"An alien from our cells has escaped and is now loose in the facility. Just hurry!"

Following that came a couple of gunshots from a pistol and somebody shouted: "There it is!" before Alex hung up.

Kara, already halfway in her suit, threw the phone back on the couch and finished gearing up. Within seconds she was ready and flew out of the window. Usually she preferred not to fly out of her own bedroom window but to get to the top of the building first, as not to risk anyone seeing Supergirl flying out of her apartment window. The whole secret-identity thing could crumble under a simple mistake like that.

But at her current speed it was difficult enough for the human eye to even register the red-and-blue blur passing by in the sky. Someone might think it was just a trick of the light or they just imagined it.

But it was not a trick of the light, nor was it a bird or a plane. It was Supergirl, coming to the rescue! With her intercom from the DEO she tried to call Director Hank Henshaw, whose real name and identity she had learned only a couple of weeks ago, but didn't get an answer. Kara had half expected that, though. He's probably too busy fighting that alien.

Supergirl arrived at headquarters and found the command center completely deserted. There were noises on the upper levels so she followed them. On her way she passed some solders lying on the floor. All had big wounds in their chests, backs, or heads. Not even Supergirl could help them now. As she got closer, she used her x-ray vision to assess the situation. There was an alien around the corner, all right. Larger than humans: Kara thought it was around 9 or 10 feet tall but it was hard to estimate because the creature had to crouch – it was definitely taller than the hallway it was standing in. Just now it was throwing itself against a locked door, trying to smash it open. Its big, black colored body hit the door and shook it, but it held. The alien let out a growl of frustration that reminded Kara of Godzilla's cry. Not as loud but still ...impressive. She adjusted her x-ray to look inside the room. A couple of DEO solders were there, one of them being Alex. They were all checking the ammunition of their guns and getting ready to fire. Kara noticed that the room in which they had locked themselves in in was a storage room for weapons and ammunition. 'Clever', she thought. 'Regrouping in room full of weapons is perfect to get ready to face their opponent again'. But this alien seemed to be impervious to bullets, otherwise the DEO would have taken care of the creature long ago.

"I just wish that once in my life I could fight an alien that is not bulletproof", Kara sighted and stepped out into the hallway where the alien was trying to force open that door. It was now carefully laying a hand (or better 'claw') at the upper left corner of the door, that part where one of the doors hinges were. Supergirl didn't know what it was about to do but she wasn't going to just stand there and find out.

"Hey!" she yelled. "Let's handle this like grown-ups. I don't wanna have to fight you."

The alien let out another growl, turned around, and jerked it's head. It had a horn at each side of its head, facing backwards. One of them hit a metal pipe at the ceiling that made a 'clunk' noise.

Then without warning it jumped towards Supergirl, charging at her. Supergirl retreated, unsure how to best fight her adversary. She had never seen this species before, with its pitch-black, leathery, thick skin and reptile-like movements. She knew nothing of its strengths and weaknesses. She reached the command center two floors above the ground with all the screens and her escape pod from Krypton next to them. A staircase lead down to that level but Supergirl simply jumped down. She looked back up and saw the alien arrive at the top of the staircase. For a moment it met her eyes. His, dark as the night - hers, blue as a sunny afternoon sky.
