Supergirl and Deity
By Ross Carlin
I'd just like to note that Deity is a character of my own creation as are several other characters that will appear later on in the story. That said the rights to characters that I didn't create belong to DC and the Supergirl TV show, I have no ownership of them but Deity is mine. (Yeah... I'm a tad possessive of her)
Full Summary
When Deity Ann wakes up from her hibernation on earth after fleeing Krypton, she awakes to meet Kara Zor-El. She is a Kryptonian just like Kara and although she left Krypton decades ago, she is now a young teenager in Kara's care. Together they must fight off Astra and her army of Kryptonians that are trying to reshape the earth in her vision. But Deity has a strange and mysterious past the even she doesn't understand, with gaps in her memory that will fill over time. Can this strange girl from Krypton find a new home on Earth with Kara and her friends? Or will she lose her way as fragments of the past return?
Chapter 1: Deity
Kara was still on a high from defeating Reactron a few days ago and was currently soaring through the skies above Nation City. She loved her early morning flights, right before heading to work to pick up Cat's morning coffee. The crime rates were down and currently there were no screams for help coming from below, Kara knew thanks to her super hearing.
She had a wide grin on her face as she flew past a skyscraper, looking at her reflection in the glass, before it vanished as she flew past the building. Looking down as always the streets of National City were busy, it was really awesome being able to fly plus it cut down on travel time.
"Supergirl do you copy" comes the familiar sound of Hank through the ear piece in her ear.
"I read you Hank" says Kara, taping the ear piece to turn it on before answering.
"We're picking up a signal from the ocean near National City. We're unsure what's causing it but we'd like you to check it out. If you have a moment" says Hank, folding his arms as he looks up at the large monitor ahead of him with several people sitting under them typing away.
"Sure, I have a couple of minutes until I have to get to work" answers Kara as she changes her course of direction and begins heading towards the ocean. Accelerating in speed, Kara went low as she approached the ocean so that she was only a few inches above the water. Zooming across the water she felt it splash in her face as she flew and smiles as she tastes the salt water drips into her mouth. Sticking out her tongue like she used to when she was a kid, she hit a wave that splashed into her face, her mouth filling with the tingling feeling of salt water.
"You're coming up on the signal source now" says Hank and Kara decreases in speed, scanning her surroundings for anything. But there was nothing but ocean and the tiny dot of land in the distance from where she'd come.
"I'm not seeing anything" says Kara aloud so that Hank can hear her.
"It's coming from below the ocean's surface" informs Hank staring at the screen, his eyebrows in the shape of his usual frown.
"What's going on?" asks Alex as she walks into the control room of the D.E.O. and steps up next to Hank. Hands on hips she looks up at the screen with Hank, thinking of her sister in the open ocean.
"Dive down and see what you can find" orders Hank.
"On it" says Kara looking down to the ocean which she was only barely floating above. She takes in a gulp of air and dives into the water, heading down at super speed towards the ocean floor.
"So what is she doing?" asks Alex folding her arms, taking up a similar stance to Hank's.
"We've been picking up an alien signal in the middle of the ocean for the last hour. We have no idea what's generating it, so Supergirl's gone to investigate it" says Hank looking at her before turning back to the monitors ahead.
Meanwhile Kara was nearly at the bottom of the ocean, the pressure starting to tighten on her, it wouldn't kill her but it did make her feel uncomfortable as hell. Then she spotted it, a tiny light in the distance and as she got closer she noticed that it was a pod of some kind. A ship almost, similar in design to the one she'd arrived in when she first got to earth.
Before she can think of anything else, she spots a girl in the pot, through the glass, little up like model in a window. The girl inside is dressed in a white dress similar to the one Kara had wore when she left Krypton and appears to be floating inside her pod, her brunette hair floating around her head. Then Kara notices the large crack at the side of the glass that was letting in the water.
Kara doesn't think twice, she rips off the glass grabs hold of the girl and races for the surface. Fighting against gravity Kara shoots upwards with everything she's got and breaks through the surface water as if smashing through a wall. Catching her breath she looks down at the girl she holds in her hands, waiting for any sign of life.
There was nothing, no sign of life. Then her head flipped up and she was gasping for air, her brown eyes wide and in shock. She looks at her drenched white, see through, dress and then to Kara who's also soaking wet from the water.
"Hi there" says Kara with a cheerful smile as her blue eyes met the girls brown ones.
"Hi" replies the girl, still bewildered and in shock as she stares at Kara, her mouth open and breathing heavily. Thoughts racing through her head as she stared at this stranger that had just saved her.
"What's your name?" asks Kara.
"Deity... Deity Ann" answers the girl, the name catches Kara's attention as she recognises it as Kryptonian.
"You're Kryptonian?" says Kara in disbelief. As far as she'd known it had only been her and Kal El that had been sent to earth prior to Krypton's destruction, and the Fort Rozz escapees were the only other survivors of her home world. But her before her was this teenage girl that must have been older that Kara when she left.
"Are you?" asks Deity, a hint of fear in her voice as she looks up to Kara with the sun behind her so that her face is covered in a shadow.
"I am" says Kara in a reassuring voice with a smile. "I'm Kara Zor-El" says Kara, to which the girl gasps, clearly recognising the name. "Sorry to be a bother, but I've got some friends that like to meet you. And you look like you could use a change of clothes" says Kara looking down at the white dress that looked as if it had merged with Deity's skin.
After waiting for the girl's reply that never came, Kara flew back across the ocean heading up towards the sky as she flew for the D.E.O. base that was located in a desert not too far from National City. It hadn't taken Kara long to reach and when she came into the base she was met by a team of doctors that took Deity from her and lay her down on a gurney.
"What's going on?" asks Deity, fear gripping her voice. Kara knew what the girl was going through, even though her cousin had been the one to find her she had still be scared for a long time when she first arrived.
"These people are just going to make sure you're alright" says Kara, walking beside the gurney as the Doctors move Deity towards the medical room. Kara was staying close by because she wasn't sure if the effects of the yellow sun had taken effect yet, and if they had she didn't want the girl to flip out and start attacking people without truly knowing what she was doing.
Deity looks up to Kara, unsure but remains still and quiet as the doctors take her into the medical room and began their medical checks on her. Kara waits outside by the glass window, looking in as the doctors surround the girl. When the doctors step away from her, Deity looks over to the window at Kara with a still face, but from her eyes Kara can tell she's scared. Kara gives her a small smile and mouths "You'll be alright to her" but the girl doesn't seem reassured by her lips.
"How is she?" asks Alex who had appeared at Kara's side, also looking in at the strange new girl.
"She's like me when I first got her" says Kara with a memorable sigh, thinking back. "She's scared and unsure of what's going on"
"All I want to know is if she's a threat or not" says Hank from a few feet behind the two girls.
"Relax Hank" says Kara turning back to look at him, "I'm sure we can handle a teenage girl" she finishes before looking back at Deity who was now gripping the table as the doctors continued to check her.
"What makes you so sure? She has the same powers as you. She might be able to overpower you" says Hank walking up to Kara and Alex. "What's stopping her from killing everyone in that room right now" he says pointing to the room.
"Calm down Hank" says Alex and Hank walks off, having made his point to Kara who was now admittedly a little worried. "If something happens we'll handle it" says Alex to Hank who ignores her as he continues to the control room.
Then suddenly a loud thud and Alex snaps back to see a doctor sliding down the wall and then another being sent flying across the room. The two girls watch for a moment as third doctor tries to sedate Deity, but only ends up being kicked into the wall by her feet knocking him out cold.
"Oh no!" says Kara as she runs in and pins down Deity who is struggling trying to get up.
"Let me go!" shouts Deity as she squirms, but Kara's got a strong grip on her and has her pinned to the table.
"Calm down!" shouts Kara over the girl's screaming, "We're trying to help you"
"I don't need your help!" snaps back Deity as she breaks free and knocks Kara aside.
"STOP!" shouts Alex drawing her gun and aiming it at Deity's head. Deity freezes and remains still while Kara gets up, rubbing her head.
"Ow... that hurt" says Kara.
"You ok?" asks Alex her eyes flicking over Kara and then back to Deity, not wanting to give the girl an opening to attack or over power her.
"Fine thanks" says Kara as she walks over and sits on the table that Deity is still sat up on. Kara takes the end of the table where Deity's feet are at, leaving the two girl plenty of room to sit on. She looks at Deity and their eyes meet. The fear is still in her eyes but not as much as it was before, Kara knows she won't attack again unless provoked. "Alex can you give us the room?" asks Kara turning back to her sister. Alex raises her eyebrows in surprise, not keen on the idea, but when Kara raises her eyebrows and gives a subtle nod towards the door she knows her sister will be fine.
With a sigh Alex holsters her gun and assists the doctors in leaving, one having to lean on her for help. Once out Kara turns back to Deity, ignoring the yelling going on outside form Hank as he complains to Alex who in return shouts back to defend Kara's actions. "Sorry if they scared you" says Kara rubbing the girl's leg, but at the touch Deity pulls her legs up to her chest curling into a ball at the other end of the table. "We just want to make sure you're ok" says Kara trying to reassure her.
"Then what?" says Deity in a blunt tone, taking Kara aback.
"Then... we'll see what happens next" answers Kara, jaw clenching as she didn't know the answer.
"The man out there-" Deity nods towards Hank through the window, "-wants to throw me in a cell" says Deity.
"How'd you..." Kara starts but then remembers the girls Kryptonian, meaning she has super hearing as well as all of Kara's other abilities. "On second thought never mind" says Kara smiling to the girl, but her response was the same still face. "Don't worry, I won't let him throw you in a cell" says Kara leaning over towards the girl. Again the Deity is quiet and looks down at the floor, lowering her head.
Then comes a knock at the door and Kara looks over to see Alex at the door and Hank stood behind her, with his usual frowning face. Alex raises her eyebrows and nudges her head back to indicate towards Hank, the problem. "I'll be right back" says Kara looking back at Deity with a cheery smile and pat on the knee before heading over to the door to speak with Hank and Alex. "What's the matter?" asks Kara folding her arms across her chest and looking up at Hank.
"She's a problem" says Hank with an obvious nod towards Deity, "I'm not having her here unless she's in a cell, am I clear"
"But she's just a girl. She's done nothing wrong" protests Kara in her naive tone as she unfolds her arms.
"She did just throw three doctors and you into a wall. One of them has a broken arm" says Alex, cringing as she delivers the bad news to Kara, who rubs her head and looks over to Deity who was still curled up on the table.
"So what's going to happen to her?" asks Kara turning back to Hank, who sighs heavily.
"We'll run some more tests to find out what we're dealing with and then determine the best course of action. Kara looks back at the girl, who had now unrolled and was dangling her legs of the side of the table, hands gripping the side as she looks down at the floor.
"She can stay with me" Kara says suddenly, feeling pity for the girl.
"What!" exclaims Hank.
"Kara I don't think that's a good idea" says Alex, stepping between Kara and Hank before he unleashed his rage on her. "What about her powers?"
"I'll help her to control them" says Kara.
"And if she exposes your secret?" asks Alex, pocking at the S on Kara's chest.
"She needs me Alex. I'll just have to take that risk" says Kara with a shrug as she walks back over to Deity. As she approaches Deity she kneels down so that she's now looking up slightly at the girl, trying to make her feel safe.
"Did you hear any of that?" asks Kara.
"Enough" responds Deity as her eyes catch Kara's. "Thanks for not throwing me in a cell" a small smile forming on her face, which makes Kara smile back.
"Hank's not so bad. He's just trying to protect people" says Kara looking back at her boss, who was still brooding over Kara's rash decision.
"So am I coming with you?" asks Deity, Kara turning back to face her.
"If you want to, but it's your choice. You don't have to if you don't want to" says Kara, trying not to pressure the girl into anything, as she rubs Deity's shoulder.
"Better than a cell I guess" says Deity with another small smile, again Kara smiles widely back at her.
"Ok. So the doctor's will run a few more tests and then I'll take you home" says Kara standing up, Deity nods and watches Kara walk out with Alex and Hank as another set of doctors come in. Taking a deep breath Deity tries to relax and leans back on the table, reviling the hand prints she'd left in the side of the table from her strong grip.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asks Alex as the three walk back into the control room.
"Come on Alex, don't take Hank's side" says Kara turning to her sister.
"We are only looking out for everyone's best interest. And personally I think it's a bad idea letting that girl loose in National City" says Hank in his stern voice, hands on his hips, as he stands with the large monitors behind him.
"Guys, I can handle this" says Kara confidently, before turning to Alex. "I can do what Mom and Dad did for me when I got here" says Kara stepping closer to Alex. "Just let me help her, please" begs Kara, her blue eyes shining into Alex's, almost changing her whole mind. Looking over to Hank, she thinks she sees a twitch over his mouth that might have been a smile but looks at his eyes for the answer. He signs heavily and then nods turning to the monitors behind him.
"Fine. You may take the girl in and care for her" says Hank leaving it at that, while Kara beams at him. Suddenly Hank is wrapped in Kara's arms as she hugs him.
"Thankyou-thankyou-thankyou" says Kara before quickly realising him.
"Please. Try and at least act professionally" Hank says with a roll of the eyes as he looks back to the monitors.
"Sorry" says Kara with a bow of the head before stepping back to Alex.
"Want me to come back with you?" asks Alex grinning at her sister.
"No I think I can handle it" says Kara, more serious now.
"In any case I'm giving you a D.E.O. escort, Alex" says Hank and Alex knows what he's saying. He's giving her permission to go with Kara and help Deity settle in, but also to keep an eye on the situation.
"Thank you sir" says Alex in her formal working tone, before walking back to the medical room with Kara. Walking in they see that Deity is more relaxed now, her shoulders slacking and no longer tensed up, she's chatting with the doctors too.
"How you doing?" asks Kara walking up, leaving Alex at the door, while she stops in front of Deity.
"Better thanks" says Deity, before groaning as one of the doctors sticks a needle in her and draws blood. Then a shooting pain through her arm and she moans out in pain. Then it's gone in an instant as the doctor pulls the needle from her arm, Deity now noticing that the tip of the needle has a dim green glow to it.
"What was that?" asks Deity rubbing her arm as the needle hole instantly heals over.
"Kryptonite, it weakens us and can take away our abilities" explains Kara, shivering at the sight of the green glow. "But don't worry, they won't use it to hurt us"
"That's us all done for now" says one of the doctors and Kara nods in thanks to him.
"You want to come with me now?" asks Kara holding out her hand for Deity to take.
"I'm not a little girl" Deity sliding off the table as she speaks, "Just lead the way and I'll follow" she says head held high. Kara new it was just an act, the girl was still scared underneath it all but with Kara around she seemed more confident and brave.
"You sure you don't want some cloths first?" asks Kara looking down at her naked body before her eyes shot back up to meet Deity's.
"Oh... Yes please" says Deity with another small smile, but bigger than the last two.
"This way" says Alex waving for the two girls to follow her.
After a quick change into some spare old worn out jeans and a size to big top that reached down past her waist, Kara and Alex escorted Deity to Kara's apartment. Kara had changed out of her Supergirl suit and into her normal attire with her glasses on and Alex had drove them back to National City.
"Home sweet home" says Kara as she unlocks the door to her apartment and walks in, followed by Deity with Alex close behind. Deity looks around the room, not really knowing how to feel. "Want something to drink?" asks Kara as opens the fridge and pulls out a carton of orange juice.
"I'm good thanks" says Deity still looking around the apartment. Kara allows her to roam around while she pours herself a glass of orange juice and then drinks half of it, before she notices Alex leaning down on the counter in front of her.
"What?" asks Kara as she puts away the orange juice in the fridge.
"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" asks Alex, sounding like she already knows the answer to her own question.
"No" says Kara unsure of her answer. Then her phone goes off and one look at the screen reminds her. Across the screen it reads "Cat Grant" and Kara looks to Alex in a panic.
"Oh dear!" says Kara before answering the phone. "Miss Grant how are you?" asks Kara turning away from Alex and Deity who had wondered into Kara's bedroom.
"How am I Kira? Well ever since I got into work today I've been running around because you're not her to do that for me. And while we're on the subject care to explain as to why you're not here?" asks Cat as she paces back and forth in her office.
"Eh-well... It's a long story" says Kara scratching the back of her neck.
"Well you'll have plenty of time to tell me about it when you get here. And Kira, it better be a good story" Cat says as she ends the call.
"Great" Kara pocketing the phone as she turns to Alex. "Can you do me a favour?"
"No way. You're the one who wanted to look after her" says Alex shaking her head back and forth with a smirk on her face.
"But I've got work" complains Kara leaning on the counter top
"Take her with you" suggests Alex nodding towards Kara's bedroom where Deity was. "Plus I've got work to do and My work doesn't involve her" says Alex getting up to leave.
"Actually-" starts Kara but is quickly cut off by Alex raising a finger to her.
"Don't even say it" says Alex with a grin before leaving, after which Deity walks back into the room wearing a pair of Kara's glasses. For a moment Kara wasn't sure that it was Deity but after a second she realised it was her, funny how any Kryptonian that wore glasses always seemed to look like a completely different person.
"Deity why are you wearing my glasses?" asks Kara putting one hand on her hip while the other rests on the counter. A light grin on her face as she spotted her younger self in Deity, remembering when she first put on her glasses.
"Why do you wear these?" asks Deity straightening the glasses in the mirror as she looks at herself. Kara then comes up behind her and looks over her shoulder into the mirror, looking at the young teen.
"I wear them to hide my identity. Only a few people know I'm Supergirl" explains Kara taking her glasses off and looking at her true self while Deity looked at the new identity she was about to create.
"So should I do the same then?" asks Deity turning around to face Kara.
"It's up to you. But if you want to use your powers in public then it's not a bad idea to have two identities" says Kara putting her glasses back on and then tying back her hair in a ponytail.
"So you use your powers as Supergirl" says Deity realising, "But why not just use them all the time? Why the secret?"
"Because if people knew who I really was they might come after the people I care about and use them against me" says Kara straightening her glasses on her fight. "But as for using my powers, I use them to help people" says Kara with a smile on her face. "Does that answer your question?"
"I guess" agrees Deity tilting her head and looking up to the ceiling in thought.
"Listen Deity" says Kara interrupting Deity's daydreaming, "I need to go to work, and you're coming with me. But while we're there I need you to not use you're powers"
"Sure" Deity smiling softly up at the blonde woman.
"Right then let's go" Kara leading Deity out and then up the stairs to the roof of her apartment building. Once their she stops in the centre of the roof and Deity looks at her confused, as Kara began to strip down to her Supergirl costume putting her cloths and glasses away while untying her hair.
"You ready to fly?" asks Kara once she was ready, but Deity just looks at her as if she was mad. True Deity had seen Kara fly, but she wasn't sure if she was capable of doing it.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea" Deity says looking shamefully at the ground, "Remember the D.E.O. I didn't really have it under control did I" says Deity annoyed with herself.
"Don't be silly, you know how to. You just need practise" says Kara taking both of Deity's hands in hers. "Let me help you" Kara says smiling down at Deity. "Just relax and take a deep breath. Close your eyes, and concentrate" says Kara, who leads by closing her eyes, Deity then copying her. After a moment Kara opens her eyes and smiles, as they two slowly lifted off the ground, going up at a steady peace. It didn't take long for Deity to realise that she was off the ground and opened her eyes, looking down to see that she was now several meters above the roof of Kara's apartment building.
"Wow!" says Deity letting go of Kara's hands and floating in the air. "This is amazing" she says twirling around slowly in the air, giggling as she does. Kara just watches and smiles, her arms folded as she watches.
"Now let's see who you fly in a race" says Kara raising her eyebrows as she grins.
"To where?" asks Deity as she stops spinning and glares at Kara, a hint of competitiveness in her eye.
"Cat Co's roof?" suggests Kara and Deity nods in agreement, having a vague idea of where it was. "Go!" shouted Kara suddenly and shot off at super speed leaving a red trail behind her.
"Hey!" shouts Deity before chasing after Kara, leaving a golden streak behind her. Kara looks back to see that Deity had quickly caught up to her, and decided to take her on a goose chase around the city. Veering in and out of buildings Deity follows unaware of the fact that she's heading the wrong way, streaks of red and yellow appearing and fading throughout the city. Kara ended the race with a quick lap around and the Cat Co building before racing up to the roof, following the side of the building up. She went up past the roof and dropped down, bent over and then looks up to see Deity there with arms crossed and a smile on her face.
"What took you" says Deity with a smile on her face, Kara smiling back at her as she stood up straight. She was happy to lose the race especially at the sight of Deity's smile, indicating that the two were getting alone.
"Well I think you've improved on you're flying" says Kara patting Deity on the shoulder, the young girl looking up to her with a beaming smile. "Just let me get changed and then we'll head inside" says Kara, straightening Deity's glasses before walking over to get changed into her casual clothes. It only took her a moment and with her hair back in a ponytail and glasses on, she lead Deity down to the main floor of Cat Co.
Once inside the two were met by Winn and James who were waiting at the stairs, just before the door that led to the bright main floor, unlike the dark dim light stair case. Upon seeing Deity the two men look at Kara with confusion, eyes darting back and forth between Kara and Deity.
"Deity, these are two of my closest friends. James Olsen and Winn Schott" says Kara pointing to the two individually as she said their names. "James, Winn, this is Deity Ann" says Kara stepping aside to present the teenage girl to her friends.
"Deity, interesting name" says Winn shaking her hand.
"It's Kryptonian" says Deity and instantly Winn and James' jaws drop at the statement, realising she must to be Kryptonian.
"Kryptonian... she's Kryptonian... she's Kryptonian" says Winn, in a star struck state as she points and stares before drifting over to Kara. "She's Kryptonian" says Winn again.
"Yes Winn, she's Kryptonian" says Kara folding her arms and glaring at the rude Winn.
"Sorry... It's just... you said you and Clark were the last Kryptonians" says Winn baffled by the girl in front of him.
"Apparently not" replies Kara.
"Kara, not to put a damper on things but Cat's waiting" points out James who also had his arms folded in the corner of the staircase. Kara groans and slaps herself on the forehead, having forgot again about her day job.
"I keep forgetting" says Kara irritated as she opens the door to the main floor and leads the other in after her, Deity in between James and Winn. "What should I say to her?" asks Kara as she looks back to her friends.
"I don't know but you better come up with it fast. She's been yelling all morning" says Winn as they approach Cat's office, people hurrying out after a meeting with Cat. As they walk past the crowd of people, they pick up mutters from the business men and women about "how Cat is in raged" and "I'd hate to be her assistant". Kara cringing with each word she heard about the angry Cat and how she was going to "Kill her assistant".
"Maybe I should just go home" says Kara with an awkward smile as she turns to face her friends, unfortunately stopping in front of Cat's office. And at that moment Cat looked up from her desk and spotted Kara in front of her doorway with James, Winn and Deity.
"Kira!" shouts Cat, Kara jumping in the air at the sound of Cat's voice. Turning to face Cat, Winn and James took a step back from Kara and Deity, who was still at Kara's side.
"Ye-ye-yes Miss Grant" stutters Kara as she clasps her hands in each other, trying not to cry as she looks into Cat's burning eyes. She can feel the sweat on her forehead as Cat's eyes glare at her, if she hadn't known better then she'd suspect that she'd shot out balls of fire.
"Get in here, now" says Cat slowly, sounding out each syllable as she speaks, trying to hold in her rage. Kara nods frantically as she walks in, forgetting about Deity who followed her in unnoticed by Cat. "Kira, can you explain to me why you're late for work?" asks Cat leaning on her desk, eyes locked with Kara's. Kara instantly starts to panic and her eyes dart around the room, looking everywhere else but at Cat's eyes.
"Well...I...You see... It's a funny story" says Kara starting to laugh at the story she was yet to come up with. Deity now emerging from behind Kara catches eyes with Cat, who's eyes narrow at the sight of Deity.
"Kira, who's this?" asks Cat looking towards Deity, Kara looking to her side only now noticing Deity had followed her into the room.
"This is..." started Kara but couldn't think how to finish the sentence.
"I'm her daughter" answers Deity with a smile and Cat's eyes widen as does Kara's.
"WHAT?" says both adults at the same time, glaring at Deity with wide open eyes.
"Kira" Cat says turning her gaze back on Kara, Deity still in the corner of her eye. "I didn't know you had a daughter"
"I-I-I-I guess it must have slipped my mind" says Kara looking down to Deity, who still had a soft smile on her face, looking up at Kara's wide horrified eyes.
"What's her name?" asks Cat looking to Deity.
"Debby" answers Kara, to which Deity looks at Kara with a disgusted look, clearly not happy with her new name. Kara smiles at her and then the two look back to Cat, hiding their smiles as they look at her. Cat glaring back with questioning eyes.
"So why were you late for work?" asks Cat eyes shifting slightly towards Kara.
"Well... as you might have guessed I had... Debby, when I was young and my mother thought it would be a good idea for her to raise Debby. But now I've grown and I'm ready to look after my daughter" explains Kara putting a hand on Deity's far shoulder and pulling her inwards so they looked like they were hugging. "She got here early this morning and I've been rushing around trying to get things ready. That's why I was late, sorry" Kara praying that Cat bought her story. Cat's eyes dart back and forth for a moment before fixing on both of them, Kara could almost see the gears in her head rotating in her head.
"Very well" says Cat with a sigh realising that Kara had a good excuse. "You can have the day off, but you'd better be here early tomorrow morning" warns Cat eyes narrow at Kara as she spoke.
"Of course Miss Grant" answers Kara with a respective bow of the head before leading Deity out of the office.
"Debby" mutters Deity looking up to Kara with an irritated look.
"Sorry honey" says Kara in between her gritted teeth.
"How'd it go?" asks James who was standing next to Winn's desk where Winn was sitting.
"Great" answer both Kara and Deity as they walk past heading for the stairs.
"Where are you going?" asks Winn watching the two walk away.
"Ed Flaherty's office" answers Kara not looking back as she pushes open the door to the stairs and heads down. It takes Winn and James a moment to realise that she was talking about their secret base in Cat Co.
"Oh!" they both say on realisation and jump up chasing after Kara and Deity.
All four entering the office and closing the door behind them.
"So what happened?" asks James again, once the door was closed.
"I'm now a mom" Kara says giving Deity a look as the teenager slumped down on the sofa.
"What? When did that happen?" asks Winn in disbelief.
"And I'm her daughter, 'Debby'" says Deity with a groan and roll of the eyes.
"Hey. That's your own fault" says Kara with a accusing finger point at Deity.
"So what are you two going to do now?" asks Winn as he and James look back and forth between Kara and Deity. There's a moment of silence before Kara slumps down in the spiny chair sighing and rubbing her forehead.
"I don't know" says Kara sounding defeated.
"You want me to make you a costume?" asks Winn suddenly looking to Deity who looked at him with confusion. Unaware that Winn had been the one that made Kara's Supergirl costume. "Why would you ask that?" asks James turning to Winn.
"I want to make another suit" says Winn with a shrug, looking to Deity who shakes her head. Then Kara's phone went off, looking at the caller Kara groans at the sight of Alex's name knowing it was trouble.
"Hello" says Kara into the phone as she answers.
"Kara we need you to come in" says Alex in her serious voice, "Something's come up"
"On my way" says Kara in a depressive tone as she hangs up. "I've got to go to the D.E.O." says Kara pocketing her phone.
"Want me to come with?" asks Deity sitting up.
"Sure, unleash you want to stay her and help Winn design your costume" says Kara to which Winn grins at Deity.
"I'm coming with you" says Deity getting up and leading the way out.
"Sorry Winn" says Kara patting Winn on the shoulder as she follows Deity out, the two heading up to the roof before the two flew to the D.E.O, taking longer than usual as Deity wasn't sure of the way and her flying was still shaky.
Arriving at the D.E.O. Kara walks into the control room with Deity at her side, stopping next to Alex and Hank who had turned away from the large monitors to face them.
"Welcome back Deity" says Hank, slight sarcasm in his voice as his eyes narrowing at the girl before turning to Kara. "We've found another escapee of Fort Rozz. A team went in over an hour ago and we having heard from them since" explains Hank.
"You want me to go in?" asks Kara folding her arms, her voice serious.
"You and Alex take a team and head in. Priority is survivors, secondary is bring in the alien responsible" explains Hank.
"Which would be?" asks Kara looking to Alex who points to the largest monitor. Then using her tablet Alex changes the screen by swiping across, the monitor changing to that of a profile from the Fort Rozz records.
"Phasy Scallm" says Alex as the four examine the profile photo of the alien from the shoulders up. He has orange scaly skin with pointy head that has three eyes on each side and a thin black line of hair in between heading from his nose down his back.
"Is it a girl?" asks Deity cringing at the sight of the alien. Kara and Alex smirk and snigger but Hank shots a stern look at Deity and she shuts up, looking down in shame.
"It's a boy" answers Alex, "And it's a Tailnoid, an unfriendly race of aliens that like to eat flash of their prey. It strips them down with its three razor sharp claws, and the long tail make it fast and deadly" explains Alex as the screen changes once again to a body scan of the alien species.
"It may have already killed ten men. Alex, you take point with a team of fifteen and Supergirl you head in with her" orders Hank.
"What about me?" asks Deity speaking up, her arms folded as she had been listening tensely.
"You? You shouldn't even be here, and if I had my way you'd be locked in a cell. But lucky for you Supergirl decided to take you in. But you're not going out there and risking my men lives just to play with your new friend" says Hank sternly and Deity looks away shamefully, feeling awful for asking.
"Hank!" Alex protests defensively and Hank looks to her scowling face, to which he stops.
"Get your team ready Alex and then move out" orders Hank walking off with Alex heading in the opposite direction to get her team assembled. Meanwhile Kara and Deity wait in the control room Deity still looking shamefully at the ground, after a moment Kara bends down on one knee and looks up at Deity, moving her chin so that the young teen was looking into her blue eyes.
"Sorry about Hank Deity" says Kara with a soft smile, to which the girl replies with a tiny one.
"Why's he so mean?" asks Deity looking off in the direction that Hank had walked.
"He's not a fan of aliens" answers Kara with a small laugh, which made Deity smile back at her.
"What do you want me to do?" asks Deity straightening up trying to act mature, to which Kara smiles. She was proud of the girl for stepping up and trying to help, but knew Hank would never allow it.
"It looks like you can't help now. So you can either head back to my place or stay here until I come back?"
"I'll head to your home" says Deity with a nod, her glasses shifting forwards. Kara grinned at the girl and pushes the glasses back up Deity's nose, fixing them for her.
"If you get lost, head to Cat Co and get James or Winn to take you there. Understand?" asks Kara making sure the girl understood.
"Yes" says Deity as Kara stood up, looking down on the girl.
"And please, try not to let anyone see you" Kara says in a mother like tone of voice.
"I'll try" says Deity with a smile and Kara smiles back, before heading off to met Alex and the team.
"You ready Kara?" asks Alex who was on the ground, lying flat with two men on either side of her. The one on her left with binoculars in hand is looking out towards an old run down factory on the edge of National City. The one on her other side has a machinegun lying next to him, just like Alex who has one hand pressed against her ear so she can hear Kara clearly.
"I'm in position" confirms Kara who was floating high above the building, ready to smash down through the roof and take on the alien threat. The D.E.O. agents had surrounded the building and were ready to attack on Alex's signal, Kara was to wait back until Alex ordered her to entre. She was the D.E.O.'s secret weapon against alien threats, fight fire with fire.
"Kara, tell me where he is" orders Alex and Kara begins to use her x-ray vision, searching through the building for the Tailnoid. She spots him along with several other bodies on the second floor near the window facing National City.
"He's on the second floor, North-West side" says Kara, remaining in her position above the factory.
"Got. Everyone ready?" asks Alex and the two soldiers beside her nod and the others all respond with "Yes" over the comms. "Right let's move" orders Alex as she and the two soldiers next to her get up, grabbing their guns.
All around the building the teams of three begin to move in guns poised and ready to fire at the threat inside. Taking point Alex was the first to reach the door, kicking it down and charging in with the other two soldiers behind her.
Up stairs the alien hears the sound of the door being kicked in, followed by a similar sound all around the building as the other agents entered. Hissing the alien drops the fleshless body on the ground and dashes out the room like a wildcat. Seconds later Alex enters the room with her gun raised, three other soldiers entering from the other door. Alex signals for them to sweep the room and the five others search while Alex moves into the centre of the room. Then suddenly a scream from the shadows and everyone snapped around, their guns aimed ready to fire. But there's nothing there.
"Kara" clear fear and worry in her voice. Alex waited for Kara to scan the building with her x-ray vision.
"He's in there Alex" says Kara watching the Tailnoid crawling about the roof, positioning himself over Alex. Once Kara realised she shouts "Alex above you!".
Looking up to see the orange scale creature looking back at her with its six yellow eyes, it snarls at Alex before it dives down pouncing on her. Luckily Alex was saved by her fellow soldier who knocked her aside. The creature lands in the centre of the room, four guns now aimed at him. As they fire, the alien flips elegantly through the air avoiding all the bullets. It lands next to two of the soldiers and smashes their heads together knocking them out, before jumping back across the room and kicking a third man into the wall. The fourth soldier aims the gun at back of the Tailnoid's head, but before he can fire its tail lashes out and knocks the gun aside, sending stray bullets flying. It then flips back landing on the soldier's shoulders before gripping his head and snapping his neck. After watching three of her men getting knocked aside and a fourth killed, Alex decided to call for help.
"Kara!" shouted Alex, and in seconds Kara has smashed through the roof and lands in between Alex and the Tailnoid. The alien hisses at Kara, it's eyes locking with the 'S' on her chest. Kara narrows her eyes at the alien before swing at it with a left hook, which the alien easily dodges and kicks her aside. It then pounces on her, pinning her against the wall before slashing her arm with its sharp three fingered claw and ripping not only Kara's suit but her skin. Groaning in pain Kara's eyes catch the sight of red blood dripping out the cut, shocked by how the alien had managed to break her skin. The alien hisses in her face and Kara responds with her heat vision, blue fire shooting out her eyes and sending the Tailnoid through the wall into the next room.
"You ok?" asks Alex who has appeared at Kara's side, examining the red blood on her arm. "You're bleeding" she says in shock as she runs her finger over the cut on Kara's arm. Kara holds her other hand over the wound, the same shocked expression on her face as Alex's. She looks into the hole she'd sent the Tailnoid through, but there was no sign of the alien. He'd escaped.
Back at the D.E.O. base, Kara was sat upon a table in the medical room getting examined by Alex, her cut having healed over now thanks to her accelerated healing abilities. Alex had just finished her examination when Hank walked in with his usual frown.
"What happened out there?" demands Hank with his hands on his hips, clearly irritated.
"The alien got the drop on me" says Kara with disappointment in her voice as she looks down shamefully. Alex patting her on the back to try and make her feel better.
"Not good enough Supergirl" says Hank shaking his head as he walks out, Kara hopping off the table and following Alex out after Hank.
"I'm sorry. When the Tailnoid cut me I lost focus" explains Kara in her defensive tone.
"That's no excuse. You should be ready for anything. You should have been more focused on the mission" scolds Hank angrily.
"Sorry" says Kara quietly as she looks down Hank now leaving the two girls along in the corridor. With Hank now out of ear shot, Kara figured it was safe to bring up the topic of Deity to her sister. "I've got to go and check up on Deity"
"I'll come by later and we can help her get settled in" says Alex with a smile and reassuring hand on Kara's shoulder.
"Thanks" Kara smiles to her sister before heading out the D.E.O. base and flying off home.
Flying into her apartment through the open she finds the place in a wreck, food littered all over the place, used cloths lying all over her furniture. The fridge left open and water leaking out the doorway with her food defrosting.
"Deity!" calls out Kara angrily, to which the teenager walks in to the room from Kara's bedroom. She was now dressed in a different attire, a yellow top covered in glitter that reached just past her waist and slouched down exposing one of her shoulders. Around her legs she wore black tight jeans and boots, with the same glasses still on.
"Hi Kara, how's it going?" asks Deity with a smile, oblivious to Kara's tone.
"What's up? What have you done to my home?" asks Kara spreading her arms out, indicating to the messy room as she took a step closer to Deity.
"I just had a snack" Kara looks at her astonished before looking down and spreading her arms out again.
"You think this is a 'small' snack, you've completely..." Kara stops as she notices what Deity is wearing. Upon a proper look at Deity's jeans and top Kara realises that they were actually her top and jeans. "Are those my clothes?" demands Kara pointing an accusing finger at Deity's top.
"I found it in the back of the closet" says Deity tugging at the top. "I didn't think it would be a big deal" she adds shrugging. At this point Kara is gritting her teeth, clenching her jaw and trying to hold back the scream inside her. Clenching her fists and closing her eyes, Kara took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Alright Deity... could you please... clean up this mess?" asks Kara in a slow and uncalm voice.
"Why should I?" asks Deity, defiance in her voice as she speaks to Kara.
"Because I'm telling you too" replies Kara, her anger now coming out.
"And since when do you get to tell me what to do" pointed out Deity, attitude clear in her voice.
"I get to tell you what to do because I'm in charge of you" still holding back her anger.
"Why?!" snaps Deity in a shout, surprising Kara who leans back. "Who put you in charge of me? Not your boss, because all he wants to do is lock me away as he made so clear. You appointed yourself in charge of me, like an animal without even talking to me"
"You're not an animal" says Kara, suddenly feeling very shameful. "But there are-"
"Really, cause it sure feels like it!" interrupts Deity, not listening to Kara's explanation. "All day, since I got out that pod, I've been dragged from one place to the other by you. Only too then be dropped when you're too busy to deal with me"
"Deity I was only trying to protect you" Kara tries to explain.
"Shut up! You're not my Mom, you're not in charge of me in any way. You're just some woman that thinks she's got to take me in because I'm the same race as her. Well guess what, you don't have to worry about me anymore. I'm out of here" says Deity storming past Kara and towards the open window.
"Deity wait-" Kara pleads as she turns to the girl at the window, but before she could say another word she was gone. She flew out the window leaving a trail of yellow behind her that quickly faded. "...I'm sorry" finishes Kara, alone in her apartment. Looking shamefully at the messy floor Kara could help but feel stupid for not have doing a better job. She should have known better, after all she had been in the exact same situation not that long ago when the Danvers had taken her in. When they took her in they looked after her, made sure she felt welcomed. They didn't drag her around the place trying to get on with their lives, as if she had never existed.
Sighing to herself Kara, still in her Supergirl costume, beings to clean up her apartment without the aid of her powers.
As for Deity, she was shooting across the city at super speed, leaving a golden yellow trail behind her that quickly faded away. She was so mad. But she wasn't entirely sure why. She was mad at Kara for how she had been treating her, but she was a superhero and had responsibilities because of that. She had to protect everyone, not just her.
Inside her, Deity could feel her insides spinning, rampaging around like a storm. Her vision beginning to blur as she feels tears well up in her eyes. She was losing control of her flying and beginning to fall. Looking away from her flight path to rub her eyes clear of the tears, Deity looked back to see a fast approaching rooftop that seemed to have come out of nowhere.
Before she could react Deity hit the roof with a thud and rolled across the roof hitting the edge before coming to a stop. Groaning in pain, Deity sat herself up as she rubbed the shoulder she had landed on. It hurt for a second on impact, but thanks to her powers from the yellow sun above, the pain had faded quickly. But she rubs her shoulder anyway as a natural habit.
Rolling her head from side to side as she thoughts whirled around in her head, Deity tried to think of anything other than the events that had taken place today. But thinking back she couldn't remember anything before Kara pulled her out of the water, everything was all blurry in her mind and she couldn't quiet remember. Closing her eyes Deity tries to focus, her face tightening as she thought back.
An image appears in her mind, blurry but there, Krypton. A lab on Krypton. She's on a lab table, a bright yellow light shining down on her. It's warming her body, filling her with power. Yellow sun light. Then... no... the sun light isn't shining down on her. The sun light is coming from her, her body glowing brightly as she lies in the quite lab of Krypton.
And then it's gone, the memory stops and her eyes burst open, yellow energy bursting from her eyes and hitting the floor in front of her. She blinks and the yellow laser energy coming from her eyes stops.
Suddenly she realises the warm tear sliding down her face, resting on her cheek a moment before continuing. She had been crying, her eyes damp and hard, her cheeks red and hurt to the touch, lips apart letting out the quietists of gasps. With the back of her hand she wipes away the tear and blinks away the water forming in her eyes. She then shakes her head trying to think clearly and remember something else, but nothing else comes to her head.
She had forgotten her life, all she had was her name and a general knowledge of Krypton and the Kryptonian biology. She knew nothing of her own life before waking up in Kara's arms, and the single blurry vision of her in a Kryptonian lab. Pulling her knees up to her body and dropping her head in her hands she tried to remember, but nothing came. The only thing in her mind now was Kara and her smiling face, plus the thought of her worrying. She was beginning to feel guilty for having run away from Kara, she had made a mess and it wasn't unreasonable for her to have cleaned it up. Wallowing in self pity, Deity sat at the edge of the roof curled up in a ball trying to figure out what to do next.
Meanwhile Kara had been called back into the D.E.O. by Hank, after having cleaned up her apartment at normal human speed. Walking into the D.E.O. Kara was met with Hank's harsh glare while Alex had a soft frown of concern, her eyes avoiding Kara's as she walked over to join the two D.E.O. agents.
"What is it?" asks Kara folding her arms and frowning back at Hank who had on his hips.
"Where's Deity?" demands Hank, his voice harsh and angry as he glares a Kara who's taken aback by the question. Giving away her thoughts with her face, gasping slightly and looking at the floor, Kara tried to think of answer to Hank's question. "You don't know" states Hank, like he already knew.
"I... she... she ran away" says Kara finally, her eyes drifting down from Hank's and towards the floor again.
"You let her escape" snaps Hank angrily.
"Escape?" says Kara in surprise, "What do you mean escape. She wasn't a prisoner. She's just a scared girl and I pushed her away" says Kara, her voice shaking as she got the last of her words out.
"What happened?" asks Alex stepping forwards and putting her hands on Kara's shoulders.
"She messed up my apartment and... and... and I... I yelled at her" says Kara in between quivering breaths, with tears forming in her eyes as Alex pulls her into a hug. "I scared her off. I made her feel horrible and... and..." Kara breaks down into tears with Alex holding her close.
"It's ok. We'll get her back" says Alex as she rubs her sisters back.
"Let's get this task force ready!" announces Hank and Alex pulls away from Kara, who rubs her eyes clean. She looks at Hank puzzled and then turns to Alex who avoids her eyes.
"What task force?" asks Kara stepping forwards towards Hank with Alex holding back behind her.
"The task force that's going to bring in your little friend" answers Hank bluntly, a sharp glare at Kara.
"She's done nothing wrong" protests Kara stepping closer, sounding more confident and less shaky.
"Maybe not but I'm not going to give her a chance too. She's just as dangerous as you or that cousin of yours. I can't leave her out there were she could potentially kill someone" says Hank returning his gaze to the large monitor that suddenly lit up with a red flashing 'Warning' sign across the screen. "What now?" groans Alex stepping up to Hank's side while Kara stays still and watches the screen's live footage of the Tailnoid attacking down town National City.
"Looks like the Tailnoid is back" Hank says looking at the footage. "Hold off on that task force agent Danvers. We'd better deal with this first. Supergirl you head down and-" but when Hank looks back Kara was gone. He turns back to a grinning Alex and shakes his head as they watch the alien's rampage, waiting for Supergirl to arrive on the scene.
In the city the Tailnoid had jumped atop a car and was screeching, green saliva shooting form its mouth as civilians run for cover from the menacing alien. Out of one of its eyes the Tailnoid spots a young woman crawling on the floor, looking over her shoulder to see the Tailnoid looking down at her. Its head turns to the woman before screeching and jumping up ready to pounce on the defenceless woman. But just before he lands on her, Kara swoops in and tackles him into the side of a building.
"Remember me?" snaps Kara, bearing her teeth at the alien who snarls back at her. It knocks aside Kara's arms and kicks her off him, dropping to the ground on all fours, looking up at the girl hovering in the air above him.
Narrowing her eyes, Kara shot out her heat vision in a blue stream of heat, which the Tailnoid easily avoids by rolling aside and diving behind a car. Once Kara stops her heat vision, the Tailnoid bobs up onto the car before lunging himself into the air and slamming himself into Kara. She lands on the ground with a hard thud before being slashed across her arm again, reopening the wound from before. She groans out in pain, biting down she holds in the scream and kicks the Tailnoid off of her before lifting herself up into the air. She lunches herself forwards, arms held out ahead of her, diving into the alien like a torpedo. The alien takes the hit but as he's sent flying into the side of a building, it's claw digs into Kara tearing through her skin.
Looking at the three large scratches across her left side, Kara groans out in pain, unable to hold it in. Watching the alien crawl out of the impact creator it had created in the side of the building, she tries to fly up in the air but it hurt too much and she dropped back down on the ground. Clutching to her side, blood oozing out, she watches as the alien crawls towards her, hissing at her with its six eyes fixed on Kara.
The alien pounces as if it was a velociraptor and Kara quickly finds herself pinned to the ground. The Tailnoid's claws digging through Kara's chest and sticking out her back. She was trapped and couldn't hold back the screams of agonizing pain, the screams echoing through the streets as the civilians cower in fear.
On the roof top, Deity is still crawled up on the edge when her super hearing catches Kara's screams of pain. Her eyes snap open and she sits up, searching for the source of the screams. They come again, this time Deity turns to the direction the screams are coming from. She waits and when it comes a third time she gets up and jumps from the roof, flying off towards the screams leaving a golden trail. Flying towards the sound she takes off her glasses and throws them aside as she approaches the source of the scream. She slows down and spots Kara on the road, pinned down by the alien she'd seen on the monitor at the D.E.O. and doesn't think twice. She aims herself and shoots forwards at super speed and slams into the Tailnoid sending the creature flying, its claws ripping out of Kara's chest. As the Tailnoid hit the floor, Deity helped Kara to her feet you.
"Deity" says Kara overjoyed as she holds onto Deity, who balanced Kara on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry I ran away" apologises Deity instantly as she looks up at Kara with her soft innocent eyes. Kara smiles back at the young Kryptonian and pulls her into a hug, ignoring the pain as her wounds heal.
"I'm just glad you're safe" admits Kara breaking off and smiling down at her.
"Need some help?" asks Deity looking over towards the Tailnoid that had gotten back up to its feet.
"Couldn't hurt" answers Kara as she wipes away some of the blood on her left hand side, her wounds still healing. The two girls turn to face the alien as it squares up to them, ready to charge while Kara and Deity take up fighting stances with their fists raised.
The Tailnoid lunges forwards and the two girls fly backwards avoiding the attack. It then follows through with a bounce of its feet and jumps into the air slashing at Kara, but before it can get close enough Deity shoots it aside with her energy vision. Kara looks to Deity with an impressed smile as the two swoop down and each take a punch at Tailnoid. But he's too fast and easily ducks under Kara's punch before front flipping over Deity's, only to then land on its hands upside down. Deity tries again with her energy vision, yellow streams shooting from her eyes, but again the Tailnoid dodges and jumps up towards her knocking her down. It lands on the ground, pinning Deity, before trying to stab her with its claws. Deity narrowly rolls her head aside, avoiding the claws that pierce into the ground only millimetres from her face. The Tailnoid pulls out its claws and gets ready to strike again, but doesn't get the chance as Supergirl swoops in and knocks the Tailnoid aside before helping Deity up to her feet.
"Thanks" says Deity, accepting Kara's hand and pulling herself up.
"No problem" Kara grimacing as she holds her chest, the wounds not having fully healed and still bleeding. She presses down on the wounds, wishing they would heal faster. Looking up and searching for where the Tailnoid had gotten to, it had vanished from sight. "Where'd he go?" asks Kara as the two look around for the alien.
Before either of them knew what's happening the Tailnoid had snuck up behind them and stabbed them both in the back. The two scream in pain as they drop to their knees, the Tailnoid pulling out its claws and grabbing both the girls by the neck, ready to rip them apart. Kara doesn't give him a chance though and elbows the alien in the chest, the Tailnoid realising its grip on their necks. Spinning quickly Kara nails the Tailnoid in the chest with a hard punch sending it backwards, only to then be shot further away by Deity's energy vision. The Tailnoid hits the side of a car body and groans out in pain. It looks up to see that Supergirl had flown over above him, spraying him with her freeze breath the alien freezes to the side of the car encased in thick ice. It was over, they'd beaten him.
After dragging the Tailnoid to the D.E.O., Deity and Kara sit in the medical room with Alex examining them both and their near completely healed scratches. They look up to watch as two D.E.O. agents drag the Tailnoid away to the cells with hug metal cuffs around its hands, preventing its claws from hurting anyone.
"That's one nasty alien" Deity cringing at the sight of the alien before it vanishes out of sight.
"Tell me about it" agrees Kara, before grimacing as Alex rubbed some ointment on her cuts.
"Sorry" says Alex as she puts the ointments away. "But we don't want you getting some kind of alien infection from that thing's claws" points out Alex turning back to Kara and Deity who sat on the same table, side by side.
"It's no problem" says Kara as she looks at her ripped costume. "But I think Winn might cry when he sees the suit" Kara looking back to Deity with a grin as the three laugh. The two girls hop of the table only to groan at the sudden pain, reaching for their backs to find the source of their pain.
"When does the pain stop?" asks Deity as she stretches out her back.
"A few hours perhaps" says Kara with a smile as she pats Deity softly on the shoulder.
"Glad to see you two are getting along again" comes Hanks voice from the door. The three girls turn to the doorway to see Hank standing with his arms folded his frowning face more soft than usual. There's an awkward moment of silence as the three stare back at Hank, Kara glaring angrily at him, still annoyed from before. She was annoyed that he had even suggested sending people after Deity and was fighting the urge to attack him right there.
"Sorry" says Deity suddenly taking everyone aback. "For running away" she adds looking Hank straight in the eye as he frowns back at her. Kara and Alex both speechless by the turn of events.
"Apology accepted" says Hank, before indicating for the three girls to follow him into the control room. They follow him out, Alex taking the lead and quickly catching up to Hank while Kara and Deity walk at a steady pace behind.
"Why'd you apologise to Hank?" asks Kara pulling Deity to a holt by her shoulder.
"Because I did something wrong" replies Deity honestly.
"But it wasn't your fault. It was mine" says Kara looking down shamefully, Deity looking back at her confused.
"How's it your fault. I was the one that ran away" protests Deity, trying to take the blame.
"Only because I yelled at you. You've been here a day, this is all new to you. I wasn't fair" explains Kara both realising that they were trying to take a pointless blame. They look to each other and laugh realising their mistake.
"How about we agree to share the blame" suggests Kara with a warm smile.
"I guess we could do that" says Deity smiling as she hugs Kara, before the two walk over to join Hank and Alex.
"Congratulations are in order I believe. Even though it was a complete shambles" says Hank with normal scowl returning as he looks to the monitor that was showing a replay of Kara and Deity's fight against the Tailnoid. "Look at this-" says Hank indicating to the monitor, the girls all looking up to it. "An absolute joke. You need training" says Hank pointing towards Deity.
"Kara can take care of that" says Alex grinning at Hank.
"Good, and I'll be expecting weekly updates from you personally" says Hank, nodding towards Deity.
"What's he talking about?" Deity asks looking to Alex, who knew exactly what Hank was getting at.
"He wants to keep an eye on you" explains Alex.
"Ahh... ok" Deity looking to Kara who was smiling back at her, proud for her compromising.
"Now that that's done, you two can get out of here" says Hank turning back to the monitors, away from Kara and Deity. Alex smiles to the two before turning to the monitor also, watching out the corner of her eye as the two walk out.
Returning to Kara's apartment the two girls walked in through the front door, both instantly dropping down on the sofa. They both sigh at the same time and look to each other, both feeling breathless and tired from the long day.
"Now what?" asks Deity looking to Kara who had changed out of her Supergirl suit and into her causal cloths. Kara rolled her head to the side, her glasses shifting down her face as she does.
"Sleep" answers Kara with a relaxing sigh as she closes her eyes.
"Where will I sleep?" asks Deity, Kara opening her eyes at the question.
"You can sleep in my bed tonight. I'll sleep here" says Kara patting the sofa.
"Are you sure?" asks Deity not putting up much of an argument.
"Yes. You've earned it after today, and it would be rude of me to make you sleep on the sofa. Tomorrow we'll go searching for your bed" says Kara getting up reluctantly to get her extra blankets and pillow for the sofa. A moment later Kara returns with pillow and blankets under her arms, dropping them on the floor beside the sofa before slumping back down next to Deity.
"So other than our fight, the Tailnoid and waking up after three decades at the bottom of the ocean, how was your first day on earth?"
"Long" says Deity, stretching out the word as she says it with a 'huff' at the end, to which Kara smiles at her. But she notices something in Deity's eye, something that she's not telling her.
"Everything alright?" asks Kara with a frown.
"When I ran away... I was trying to remember, before I woke up in your arms... but I couldn't... remember. Anything" says Deity looking to Kara with a worried look. "The only thing I remember is a lab, of sorts, on Krypton and me on a lab table. But the memory is all... fuzzy" says Deity squinting her face as she thinks of the right words.
"I know who you feel" says Kara meeting Deity's eyes. "I felt the same way when my cousin first brought me out of my pod. It makes your head feel weird and makes it hard to remember anything, but don't worry. Your memories will come back eventually, it just might take a while" says Kara rubbing Deity on the shoulder.
"Thanks Mom" says Deity with a smile, taking Kara by surprise. Deity's smile then turns into a mischievous grin, Kara returning the look with that of a serious motherly stare. "What? I'm Debby-" she says pointing to herself with batting eyelashes, "- and your my Mom" she reminds Kara.
"Oh god" groans Kara tilting her head back as she remembered Deity's other identity. "Something else I'll need to sort out tomorrow. The paper work for you, too answer where you've been all this time, Debby Danvers" finishes Kara with a grin back at Deity who smiles back. "Now off to bed" orders Kara pointing to her bed room, Deity looking at her with an astonished smile. "I'm your Mother remember" teases Kara with a smile as Deity hops of the sofa and heads for the bed room.
"Night Kar... Mom" says Deity with a soft smile as she closes the door and hops into her bed.
Back at the D.E.O. Alex was putting together her things, ready to leave after another long hard day of work. She walks out of her office and heads for the exit, heading through the control room spotting Hank standing in the corner of the room.
"Hank" says Alex, but he doesn't seem to hear her. "Hank!" says Alex louder stepping towards Hank and tapping him on the shoulder. He turns to face her with a glare.
"What is it agent Danvers?" asks Hank with a hint of anger in his voice, unlike his usual calm tone.
"I was just going to say good night" says Alex stepping back, with a frown at his attitude.
"Thank you, agent Danvers. Good night" he says, sounding more friendly, he turns back to the corner. Alex lingering for a moment before leaving Hank alone in the control room. Looking back over his shoulder, Hank made sure he was truly alone before looking back at the corner, his eyes glowing red as he thought.
Message for you
Really hope you guys enjoyed this Pilot Chapter. I've still got the other chapters to finish before I publish the rest, but with Supergirl having ended I just really felt like getting this up to fill the gap. I'm really excited to get this story out there as I've been thinking about writing it for a while now, so please leave reviews to let me know how you feel.
Could be a while until the next chapter though as I want to realise them on a weekly basis, meaning it might be June or July time before this story is updated. But feel free to come back then to check in on the story, and for the time being just think of this chapter as a 'leaked' pilot. Really hope you all like Deity and I look forwards to hearing from you over the course of her journey.
See you soon RC.
