Chapter 3
A week has passed. Kara began to adjust working at Palmer Tech, although she still frequently visited the National City as Supergirl, and fought crime. As Kara ended a telephone conversation, Felicity called.
"Felicity," said Kara. She entered the CEO's office.
"Kara, I just learned that our Chief Art Designer has quit. If you would like, I can offer you this job in addition to your current duties," said Felicity.
"But I don't have any experience necessary to have a manager level position," said Kara.
"I saw some of your paintings. You are a natural. So, would you like to also work in the art department?" asked Felicity.
"I, yes, I would love to," said Kara.
"Thanks. I have a presentation tomorrow about the new tech we developed, and while the tech is ready, I need some help to create a presentation," said Felicity.
"Of course Felicity, I will get to it right away," said Kara.
"And Kara?"
"Yes, Felicity?"
"Don't worry about your former job. I can see that you have a great talent and that you will accomplish much. In fact, I am contemplating of buying the local news station to help us get more media coverage about the condition of this city," said Felicity.
Kara smiled. "I think I need to get back to work. The presentation awaits," said Kara. She walked to her table, and began designing the presentation of the new Palmer Tech battery.
"Felicity, we have a situation," said Oliver Queen via radio to his girlfriend.
"Copy that. What is going on?" asked Felicity.
"We are chasing some masked man. Please track his location," said Oliver's voice.
"Got it. Let me check the cameras. I see him Oliver, he is heading north," said Felicity. She then looked at her assistant's desk, but Kara was gone.
"Kara, please follow these directions," said Felicity, telling Kara where her teammates were. Kara flew towards the group, and after she saw the masked man, she accelearated, and grabbed the man.
The team Arrow minus Felicity ran towards Kara, who was holding the masked man in the air. "Well, that was easy," said Thea. Oliver glared at his sister.
"What? Supergirl just saved us so much time," said Thea. Oliver glared again.
"Thank you Supergirl, but I can take it from here," said Oliver. Kara nodded and put the masked man on the ground, still holding the man, while Oliver unmasked their captive. The group saw Roy Harper.
"It's Roy!" said Thea.
Roy tried to fight but Oliver shot a tranquilizer arrow in Roy's arm. Roy lost consciousness. "Overwatch, we need to meet at the base. Green Arrow is out," said Oliver.
"Do you know this guy?" asked Kara.
"Yes, he was a member of my team, but he sacrificed his life, and went into hiding," said Oliver.
"He gave me his costume," said Thea.
"Then why would he run from you?" asked Kara.
"I don't know. We need to speak with him at the lair," said Oliver. Kara nodded and flew away.
"Man, I am still not used to Barry running at his speed, and Kara is even more powerful," said Diggle. "I remember the days when we only fought regular street thugs and wannabe super villains."
"I think it's awesome," said Thea. The group climbed on their motorcycles and rode to the lair. When they arrived, they saw that Felicity and Kara were waiting for them.
"Oh my god, is this Roy?" asked Felicity. "What happened?"
"We don't know. Roy was running away when he saw us," said Oliver.
Felicity examined Roy's body. "I see some tech in his eyes," said Felicity. After the group removed the implant, Oliver woke up his former protégé.
Roy quickly sat up and looked around. "Hey," said Oliver.
"A new lair. Cool." Roy then looked at Felicity. "I heard what happened. I am sorry."
Felicity nodded. "Why did you run from us?" asked Oliver.
"I did not want to. I made a new life, but I then got an email saying that the person knew I was Roy Harper, and if I did not steal some things, he would expose my secret, and then people will know that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow," said Roy.
"Don't worry, it will be OK," said Thea.
"I wish. I am not sure what to do. The person who sent the email will likely retaliate," said Roy.
"We will find out what he is after. You need to rest Roy," said Felicity.
"I am fine. To be honest, I could spar," said Roy. Thea smiled. The former couple went to practice their martial arts skills, while Felicity worked to identify the plan of the person who blackmailed Roy. Kara continued working on her presentation.
A few hours later, Team Arrow and Kara journeyed to a large factory. While the criminals were tough, with Kara's assistance, they defeated them all very quickly and disabled the bomb.
Next day, Felicity began her presentation, with many people sitting in the room. Interestingly, she saw representatives from CatCo, Daily Planet, and Central City Picture News, among other news networks.
"I would like to begin by saying thank you to my new assistant and Art Director Chief Designer Kara Danvers. She helped me to create this presentation," said Felicity. Suddenly everyone's eyes were on Kara, whose cheeks turned red from embarrassment. Felicity began her presentation about the newly developed battery.
As Felicity was talking, Kara looked around and saw that while everyone were looking at Felicity; one person instead was looking directly at her. Cat Grant was looking at her former assistant, not moving her eyes away. Kara looked at Cat and then look away, not wanting to look at the woman who made her life miserable lately.
After the presentation has ended, people began to leave the room, with the exception of Felicity and her teammates, and the three media outlets and their representatives.
"Kara, hey Kara," said Winn, approaching his friend.
"Oh, hey Winn. What are you guys doing here?" Kara whispered.
"Well, Miss Grant learned about this new technology at the company you began working, and she wanted to learn first hand about this new battery. She brought me here to take notes, since I understand the general science about this," said Winn.
"Hey Kiera," said Miss Grant.
"Cat," said Kara, looking directly at her former boss. "How can I help you, Miss Grant?"
"Kiera, I think you made a wrong decision," said Cat.
"Look Miss Grant, Cat," said Kara, as Cat glared at her for speaking to her on first name basis, "I am happy here. I have much more responsibilities, but at least I feel valued at this company."
Clark Kent approached the two women, and looked at Kara. "Is something wrong?" asked Clark.
"Clark!" said Kara. She jumped towards the man and hugged his neck.
"What do you want Clark Kent?" asked Cat.
"Nothing Miss Grant, I am just happy to see my cousin," said Clark.
"Older cousin? Wait, you are? Really your are him?" Cat opened her mouth widely, finding it hard to believe that Clark Kent was Superman.
"Kara, I would like to introduce you to some of my friends," said Felicity, helping Kara escape from the conversation she did not want to have with her former boss.
Felicity led Kara to the corner, where Iris West of Central City Picture News stood, talking to her friends. "Hello guys, this is Kara," said Felicity.
"Oh my," said Cisco, not finding what to say.
"Is everything alright?" asked Kara.
"You are a goddess," said Cisco. "You are so strong, and fast, and you can fly! I bet you can even outrun Barry."
"Hey," said Barry in annoyance.
"Outrun?" Kara laughed. "Oh no, I think you confused me with someone. See, I am very normal, and probably not even that fast."
"Kara, Barry is the Flash. He knows," said Felicity.
"The Flash? I heard so much about you! You stopped that black hole," said Kara.
While Kara was talking with Barry, Clark approached Oliver. "I heard about your heroics. I am happy that you changed your ways to be less violent. I approve of your new no kill policy," said Clark.
Cat was looking around. She still could not believe that Clark Kent, her former colleague was actually Superman. "Hobbit, have you made notes of all important technical details about this presentation?" asked Cat.
"Yes Miss Grant. I will do the write up on this shortly. I am sorry, but I just have to speak to Mister Ramon, Doctor Snow, and Miss Smoak," said Winn, leaving to speak with other scientists in the room.
"I am surprised to see you here," said an all to familiar voice. Cat Grant looked at her archenemy. "Lois Lane."
"Cat Grant, I never thought of you as an intellectual who does her own journalistic work. I thought you were more like a dumb CEO of your kitten media empire," said Lois.
"You big nosed b," said Cat. She didn't finish, since both Kara and Clark appeared immediately next to them and tried to pull the two women away from one another.
"Lois, relax, she is not worth it," said Clark.
"Oh no Clark, I will make her pay for her comments she this stupid cat told about me," said Lois.
"Unhand me Kiera. Let me show this bitch that is the stupid cat in the room," said Cat Grant, but the super cousins held the two women separately.
"I think you should leave," said Felicity. Oliver also approached the two feuding women.
"I agree with Felicity. If you cannot be civil, then I suggest you leave this building," said Oliver.
"Fine, I will leave, but this is not over, Cat. I am the better reporter than you are," said Lois. She then walked proudly towards the exit.
"It was nice to see you Kara. See you later," said Clark. He then followed Lois.
Kara was still holding Cat's hands. At first, neither realized this. "Unhand me Kara, I am fine," said Cat. Kara released Cat's hands and looked at her former boss.
"As you wish, Miss Grant," said Kara, glaring at Cat.
"I cannot believe you left me," said Cat.
"You cannot believe that? Cat, I worked for two years as your assistant, and during that time I utterly devoted my life to help you, just as you requested in our first meeting. I helped to reunite you with your son. I saved your company, and how do you repay me? You demoted me to assistant number two, hired another girl, and demeaned me. Why would I stay? You gave me no reason to do so," said Kara.
"I see now the real you, Kiera," said Cat. "I think I made the right decision to demote you since you began to show all this anger."
"It's Kara, and yes, of course I would be angry. Look Cat, I am grateful that you provided me with a normal life for two years, but you created the toxic environment. You hurt me, and now I don't want anything to do with you. Bye Cat," said Kara, leaving Cat. Kara walked to speak with Felicity.
"I think you should leave," said Oliver.
"Wait, I want to speak with you, Green Arrow. I also want to speak to whoever is the Flash, since I am well aware that everyone except me here is either a superhero or an ally of a superhero in this room," said Cat.
"I know how to break the neck. Director Waller taught me how to kill a person in days," said Oliver.
"Oh please, I was a reporter on front lines in the nineties. You don't scare me. Besides, you are a softy now, and you don't kill," said Cat. Oliver just glared at her.
"If you decide to expose any of the people in this room," said Oliver. "They will not find your body."
"Again with your bluff? Listen Mister Queen, both you and I know that you are just bluffing, and even if you were not, which you are, I would never reveal a secret identity to make a story. Believe me, I understand the importance of having a secret identity," said Cat Grant. Oliver didn't speak, and Cat smiled, apparently winning an argument in her oral battle with the Green Arrow.
"Fine. Barry, can you come here for a second," said Oliver.
Barry immediately appeared next to the two people. "Hello, my name is Barry Allen," said Barry.
"Cat Grant. I know that you are the Flash, and that your friend over here is the Green Arrow. Now, you two don't need to worry about me exposing your secret, but I think I still need to get a story. And you two will give me one about your heroics," said Cat.
"Out of the question," said Oliver.
"Look, I just want to know more about the other super heroes. I think the world deserves to know more about the people who protect them," said Cat.
"I will do it, but I reserve the right to edit the information I deem to be too sensitive and private," said Barry.
"Fine," said Cat.
"Can I talk to you for a minute, Barry?" asked Oliver. The two men walked a few meters away. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I think that Miss Grant is right, and people should know more about the people who save them, but I will keep some information from the press, like our names," said Barry. Oliver glared at the other super hero.
"Um, Oliver, Lyla and Hank Henshaw are waiting to talk to us. They are in the lair," said Felicity, as she arrived on her wheelchair.
"We will speak about this later," said Oliver. The group then went to the elevator, and travelled to the secret lair. Unknown to them, Cat Grant also entered the elevator and travelled to the basement with the group. She would so much like to learn more about the lair of Green Arrow.
A/N: I decided to skip most portion of the episode, since with Kara's help, Team Arrow had an easier time to defeat Calculator.
