A/N: Hi guys sorry its taken a while, literally had no idea what to write... had this amazing idea and then everyday life got in the way, i will try to update more often. so comments are welcome let me know what you think :) This will be a Kara/Lucy end game it will just take a bit to get into it as i want to put my take on the show so bare with me :)
The next day at Cat Co was manic all hands on deck, Miss Grant wanted to know who she was, what she was, how she got here. She just wanted to know everything about me, for once people are actually interested in me, well not me but she is me so that still counts right? After Alex's "lecture" last night, I took what she said on board very seriously and it made me realise that maybe nobody has to find out, I can do both… right? After all I'm just Kara Danvers…
"Kiera my office now" Miss Grant summons me, pulling me from my train of thought.
"What can I do for you Miss Grant" I offer walking into her office securing my glasses on my face to think this is the only thing thats hiding my identity, she's looking at me curiously before asking me to round everyone up for a meeting in 5 minutes, she waves me off as I walk out to go track down everyone on the list.
"Okay people I want to know who she is, what she is, where she came from, this is the most incredible event in the history of national city and we still have no exclusive… " Miss grant pauses looking around the room for answers as few voice their opinions they might have well just stayed quiet, keeping my self quiet to the insults i was hearing was a little harder.
"Whats the best sighting we have of her… " Miss grant asks
"We don't have much to go on the image we're working off is low res…" while another pipes in about my height and another with the colour of my hair, I clearly do not have black hair!
"Maybe her hair is just dirty from the soot of the plane engines?" James offers Miss grants nods her head in exception of all the answers turning to James
"James, do you think theres any connection between this hero and your friend…"
"To the big man… well I dunno he's never mentioned anything, as far as we know he's the last of his kind… but if she's anything like him then, that makes her a hero, saving people is what they were born to do… she'll be back, sooner or later." James says waiting to see if it was the right thing to say…
"Thats a very well made point Mr Olsen, This girl is going to take the world by storm we are going to feature her online and in the papers but we need everything we can get on her, we need exclusives people, we need images, we need video, so go, go get me what we need people we have a deadline to make… oh and Kiera" Miss grant pauses as she walks back around her desk as everyone files out of her office " Go get me my lunch" Miss grant orders and I just nod, everything was getting exciting and everything is just buzzing right now and I need to tell someone as I walk out the office I spot my best friend Winn, as James walks past me i could hear him talking
"Its funny, thats the first thing he did… saving a plane" I pick up my speed towards Winn telling him to meet me on the roof
"Kara, i dont really like being this high up so can you please make this quick" he says nervously looking around looking like he was trying to balance him self as we stood on the helipad,
"Okay Winn, I want to tell you something that only 3 other people in my life know and its big and i know i can trust you right ?" I pause waiting for him to confirm
"Yeah of course you know you can whats up"
"It's just i really want someone to be excited for me, like I am…. Erm I dunno how to say this or show you … " I pause getting frustrated with my self turning to look out over the city before turning back to him "Theres something about me… that most people can't do I've run from it for most of my life keeping it a secret…. But last night I embraced who I am and I really don't want to stop.." as i look at Winn its like lightbulb just went off in his head and he lets out a breath
"Oh my god you're a lesbian, ahh Kara this is great news thats why you're not into me…." I stopped him right there as this was going off track thats for another conversation so I shook my head at him holding his shoulders "Im her" I say as he just looks confused as he tilts his head waiting for me to continue "Im her Winn the woman that saved the plane" I get out and it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders I laugh nervously as he does to and I just stare at him he doesn't believe me.
"Ahaha… yeah… righhhtttttt….okay then." he says as he starts to turn round but I start walking to the edge looking back at him
"Hey, Kara…" I just stare back at him "Kara… what are you doing" I stop at the edge turning to face him as he reaches out his arm looking scared,
"Kara get away from the edge your gonna get hurt" I spread out my arms smiling at him as I let my self fall back hearing him scream my name as I fly right back over him as he looks at me in disbelief "You… You're…her" he says shocked at what he just witnessed.
" I told you" I said coming back down to stand in front of him crossing my arms over my chest I reached my hand out underneath his chin and pushed it up wards as he looked around he spun around trying to figure out what just happened as I laughed at him he was speechless.
I pulled him back towards the building and told him to come over to mine later and that I would explain everything but for now it felt good knowing I had someone other than Alex that I could talk too.
As the day went on it seemed to drag seconds felt like hours, minutes felt like days and well you get the gist. Ms Grant had everyone doing back flips for her to make this dead line she wanted the first to have that exclusive with super girl, the first to run the top stories as they came in, and boy if she didn't get that then everyone had to duck for cover or hide from her wrath.
I was just putting on my coat about to walk into the elevator, when I heard Miss Grant call me, the people that were still trying to scurry out of the office with hopes off actually being able to go home on time were moving as if the building was on fire, the sympathetic looks that i was receiving just seemed to make my day feel that little bit longer i was so close to making my escape. I actually chastised my self for being the hero, after all i had no one to blame but myself for sending Miss Grant into this demonic slave running woman that she has been today. "Yes, Miss Grant" i said but it came out more of a sigh.
I walked into Miss Grants office to find her watching me, just sat at her desk holding her glasses to her mouth chewing the end of the arm as she just stared at me her eyes squinting every now and again, behind her on the screens was all the different angles they had of me on so many different layouts for the head line " Supergirl" one read, "new alien on the block" "Rivalry for superman?" I looked at the screens quizzically tilting my head looking at myself in a different light than I had seen before
"Kiera" Miss Grant said as she stood from behind her desk finally breaking this awkward silence.
"Yes, Miss Grant?" i stood a little straighter as it felt as if i had been put underneath a spotlight i readjusted my glasses securing them to my face, as miss grant turned to her screens then looked back at me as she went to say something but stopped as she put her glasses down on her desk as she picked up her jacket putting it on she picked up her hand bag and walked passed me, she stopped just as she was about to pass me, giving the screens one last look , "Rather odd isn't it" was all she said as she walked out of her office leaving me dumbfounded at the whole scenario that just played out as my eyes grew a little wider, she couldn't know right, pfft no theres no way, i looked back to the screens my self as i walked to her desk to see a piece of paper with bullet points titled "Supergirl" but thats not what caught my eye on a little post it note attached to the piece of paper was my name circled with a question mark against it. Could she really think… no I rushed out of the office hoping to see miss grant, but I saw her smiling at me just as the elevator doors closed…
When i got home that night, I found Winn waiting outside my door, we stayed up all night as i explained everything about me and what i went through how i ended up here, how i was the one that was meant to protect superman not the other way round, and what happened with Miss Grant before i left, he assured me she couldn't know because he would have seen it swell which he had a point… it just felt good to be able to get this off of my chest and just as my luck would have it Alex walked in to apologise about her rant last night but looked even more pissed as she overheard me telling Winn everything.
"Kara, did you not listen to a word i said last night" i saw Winn flinch from her tone as he stood up
"I think that i'll leave you two to it" he turned to my sister as serious as he could without looking like he would pee his pants and run out crying like a little girl that had her cookies stolen.
"Im not going to tell anyone about this you have my word, Kara is my best friend practically my only friend since kindergarten so I wouldn't sell her under the bus for anything, she's like family to me now more than ever i'd do anything to protect her" he said looking back to me giving me a small smile as I looked at Alex she had visibly softened at his words I guess she's just scared.
"Okay" Alex conceded
"ookkay?…" i asked just checking that were all on the same page she looked at me bowing her head a little as she started to play with her hands, "yes i said okay, I just got scared Kara, I promised mum that i would protect you and now everything is out in the open, you still need to be really careful with everything, you cant just take off in the middle of the street to save a kitten or something… you still need to be Kara Danvers… Okay, Promise me?" i guess she's got a point,
"I wont, you have my word Alex, I will be careful I promise, come on I'm indestructible" at that i heard Winn sound something like an eke but ignored his girly antics and carried on "And just to be clear what if the kitten is really cute and the tree is really hi….. okay thats a no" i stopped what i was saying as Alex started to scowl at me i just took what little leeway she gave me and ran with it, she brought me into a hug as we heard a massive shriek from Winn"
THIS is going to be so COOL !" he exclaimed as we both just stared at him, he stopped dead in his tracks looking at us if we just grew two heads each "Why aren't you excited, My best friend is going to be a superhero… do you know how much i dreamed of that when i was a kid!" he jumped up and down and clapped his hands together like a little excitable sea lion, as we both turned our backs on him and walked to the kitchen… "oohhh … ooohhh what about names" he shrieked he started to list off names quicker than a person that commentates a horse race.
while he was listing off names we tuned out as the phone rang i answered it as a voice almost took my ear off i just looked at Alex as her face paled "Hi Mom... no i haven't... no mom i haven't seen her since last nig... yes mom she was here last night... she's oka...im okay too, please don't be too mad at Alex she couldn't stop what was going to happen... i know mom i will let here know you called... yeah i love you too bye..." i blew out a breath i didn't even know i was holding.
I put the phone down and turned to Alex she looked so nervous "mom said she's tried ringing you all day she saw what happened on the news... she just wants to know if we're okay" i said gently as she shook her head with a little laugh "No.. no, no Kara she wants to know your okay and why I" she poked her self in the chest for the emphasis on the I "let this happen" she finished running her hand through her hair looking a little stressed.
"So which one did you like" Winn said a little out of breath, we both looked at him questioningly as he started to list off some of the names he came up with again...
"unfortunately, Winn that has already been decided" i said as his face just dropped the excitement gone, i felt a little bad but he will get over it eventually he started to mumble under his breath "whats better that Supersteel anyway…is it a bird, a plane no its supersteel" he mumbled as he trudged over to the sofa heaving his arms across his chest like a two year old being told no to a cookie or that toy they really need to have but wont play with.
"it has?" Alex asked quizzically.
"Yeah… Miss Grant chose it earlier, she's running with it on tomorrows headline…. Supergirl" i looked over to Winn to see him huff and mutter something under his breath 'supergirl, please what happens when you're no longer a girl… unbelievable some people have no brains' i shook my head at his antics and turned back to Alex, as she sat there contemplating it for a minute.
She seemed to like it she nodded her head in approval saying it over and over again now it just sounded weird, as the night went on Winn eventually warmed up to the idea of the name and stopped mopping as we put our brains together to figure out how i could do this and still be me and have my life as Kara Danvers…
