A/N: This is my first fanfic, so please be kind. I apologize if there are any spelling errors, I try not to, but nobody's perfect. Also I was writing this with a broken ring finger, so...

Please enjoy, review, leave suggestions, and spread the word. Thank you.

(Kara's POV)

"Be strong, Kara." My mother said, as her and my father got the ship ready, for me to venture off to earth.

"The journey to Earth isn't that far. You will sleep most of the way." My father said, standing over by my mother, as they leaned over to talk level with my 12 year old state.

"Take care of your cousin, Kal-el. He will need you in this new world," she said, as Kal-el's parents launched him off the planet, "I love you, Kara. You must aboard the ship now." She said, and I started walking towards the ship, before running back, and jumping into my mother's arms, and crying softly, into her shoulder, certain it was the last time I would be doing so.

I released, and sat down inside the ship. The shuttle closed, and I was stuck, looking at the pained expressions on my parents' faces. Their look of gloom and distain. I was launched so fast, that I didn't have to continue to look at the destruction of my dying planet. I would never see the city towers again, I would never watch as the ships went by, and I certainly would never see any of my friends again. I wept, for all that it was worth.

I peered down at the necklace my mother had given me, just moments before, and I regretted every time that I had disobeyed, or neglected to tell her how much I loved her. I would never see her again. Aunt Astra always told me, that she couldn't love a daughter more, if Rao had granted her one of her own. I wondered what would become of her and her husband, Non. Would I ever see her again? Only time would tell. The huge explosion of my planet, sent the shuttle flying, and instead of heading for the fourth galactic quadrant, I headed for the jump in space known as the Phantom Zone, where time doesn't pass. I started to feel drowsy, and eventually fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I was well aware of the speed I was going, as my pod ripped through space, speeding through the Earth's atmosphere. I crash-landed in the middle of nowhere. I was afraid, I didn't have my mother here to guide me. I saw a man in a blue suit and red cape, fly down, and he ripped the top of the pod off, so I could get out.

As I looked closer, I saw our family's symbol, the house of el, plastered on his chest.

"Kal-el?" I asked, and he held his hand out to me, which I took.

As I held my cousin's hand, he led me to a house in Midvale, over by the coast. I was greeted there, by a tall, muscle-filled man, with dark hair and kind eyes, and a woman with the same kind of domineer. She walked over to me, and rested her hands on my shoulders.

"I know I'm not your mom, sweetheart," she said, "But you're safe here." She said, looking back to the man.

I hugged Kal-el and he flew off.

I looked up at the window, and saw a teenage girl with long brown hair. She peered out the window, and looked at me. She looked as curious about me, as I was about her, and this planet.

Years later...

As I sat by the phone in Catco, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to pick up Miss Grant's lunch order. I was so dead. If she didn't have her lunch, she would probably eat me. I think I would taste delicious, though.

I rushed down by the elevator, not before receiving weird looks from Winn, and waited for the elevator doors to open. Once they did, I ran in, and hit the button for the first floor. When the elevator landed on it's destination, and the double doors opened, I came out, and walked out of Catco so fast, you couldn't have even said Catco.

I made it to the cafe before the lunch rush, and picked up Miss Grant's order. I payed, and walked out, but as I was walking down the street, someone ran into me, making my heel snap. I started to fall over, but the person caught me.

I looked up, into a pair of topaz blue eyes, and stubble. The man wore a fancy button up, underneath a fancy suit jacket. I recognized the man from tv. Maxwell Lord.

"Thank you." I said embarrassed.

"Well, you can't rely on Supergirl to catch you when you fall." he said, stubbornly. He chuckled to himself, before I started to walk away.

"Hey." He said, before I managed to get too far.

"Yes?" I asked turning back around to face him. He looked tired, as if he didn't sleep much. But you know, with all that time spent inventing things, I guess he doesn't really get the chance.

"I'm kinda thirsty. Wanna grab a coffee later?" He asked. I nearly laughed. Maxwell Lord, asking cardigan...button up wearing, boring, old Kara Danvers on a date? I couldn't be hearing this right.

"Oh. Uh..." I stuttered. I was kinda flattered at the invitation, and I didn't want to say 'no.'

"I understand if you're not interested. I get turned down a lot." he frowned, and he started to leave.

"Wait, I'd love to. When would you like to meet?" I asked, and he looked excited.

"I'll call you. We'll plan something." He said, with a dashing smile, that made my insides melt.

"Sound's like a date," I said before checking the time, "Okay, I gotta go. Miss Grant's already gonna kill me for forgetting her lunch." I said, remembering the more important things.

"Well, if she gives you a hard time, tell mean old Miss Grant that Maxwell Lord said it was okay. Or, just blame it on me. Either way is good." he said, and I chuckled.

"Thank you." I said, and he smiled, before walking away. I was going on a date-with Maxwell Lord. What could go wrong?

A/N: Thank you for reading! That was probably the best thing I've ever written in my life. Please review, and more reviews will get another chapter. Thank you!
