Sam and Ruby pulled into the junkyard, at 4:15p.m. For the past three months Sam used the junkyard to keep her superpowers in check. It also helped Ruby hone hers. The junkyard was owned by Lena Luther, who bought it for Sam and Ruby.
Sam got a box of clay pigeons out of the back of the SUV. She turned on an old handheld a.m./f.m. radio tuned to her favorite station.
"Alright kid let's see what you've got." She said as Ruby got out of the SUV. Frist was the physical workout. Which involved jumping jacks, pushups, V-sits, crunches, burpees, pullups, chin-ups, and mountain climbers. Then came the superpower honing part. This was Ruby's favorite part.
Flash back to the night Reign fell. Ruby was brought to the Fortress of Sanctuary by Reign for an unholy ritual. Purity and Pestilence each brought someone for the ritual. Those two other hostages proved useless in the deliverance which Ruby wrought that night.
For the first time since discovering she had superpowers, Ruby Arias did not fear them. She had them to save the world, save her mother, and be a hero. This was her time to fight, her time to stand.
Present day. Lena Luther gave Kara the task of write an article in memory of Supergirl. Snapper tried to give it to someone else, Lena gave him a harsh look and he saw things her way. Kara would use Ruby to bounce ideas off, of.
Alex was a nervous wreck. The night of her date with Sam was finally here. Lena got them reservations at the Aphrodite Room, the newest, fanciest, and most romantic restaurant in National City. If Alex was honest with herself she fell for Sam when they first meet at the Water Front. Ever since the night Supergirl brought Ruby to DEO, she felt that Water Front, was ordained by providence.
Sam and Ruby left the junkyard, Sam had a date with Alex, and Ruby had homework. Ruby was surprised, when her mom told her Kara would be watching her.
"She is alive?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, why?" Sam replied.
"She's Supergirl." Ruby said.
"She is? oh shit, oh shit." Sam said.
Flash back to the night Reign fell. Ruby used her heat vision, to free herself. Purity saw and attacked. Ruby lost five minutes' in that fight. It ended in Purity, laying on the ground unconscious. Then she flew the two other hostages to safety. Then made both of them forget the past 14 hours. Then she went back Fortress of Sanctuary, she still had to take care of Pestilence, and Reign.
