Chapter 4
Kara decided to follow Lena to the ceremony, she had a feeling that whoever was behind the attack was sure to try again, especially when the DEO couldn't trace the signal from the drones since they had been destroyed by the two Kryptonions. Kara quickly zipped back to her apartment, putting some Kara Danvers clothes back over her Supergirl suit before making her way to where the ceremony was being held, she grabbed her Catco badge, it would be a decent cover for her being at the ceremony and maybe she could try and talk to Lena again.
The blonde arrived just as the Luthor was getting out of her SUV, Kara had to give it to her, she carried herself as though nothing had happened
"Miss Luthor?" she called, moving over to try and talk with her, being stopped by her security
Lena's green eyes landed on her "Miss Danvers" she said a little surprised "Trying to get another scoop?" she asked with a gleam in her eye
Kara faltered for a moment "I just wanted to see if you were okay" muttering out her words towards the end
Lena smiled a little, she waved away her security "You are a strange reporter Miss Danvers, most would just say I deserved it and hope for a juicy scoop of me being injured to make their ratings fly"
Kara was a little taken aback by Lena's words
"Anyway" Lena continued "I have to get on stage, will you walk with me Miss Danvers?" she gestured towards the crowd
Kara nodded and followed the raven haired woman
"You are taking an awful risk doing the ceremony with your life still in danger" Kara blurted out after a few steps
"I won't have a life if I can't make this company into something more positive" she stopped by the side of the stage "All I will be remembered for is Lex's madness" and with that she made her way up to few steps and to the podium
Kara made her way into the crowd to have a better view of everyone as Lena started her speech, her eyes darting to each person in the crowd and passers-by, looking for any signs of foul play.
Everything was running smoothly as Kara made eye contact with her sister, she nodded as she stood on the outskirts, ear bud in her ear as she kept in contact with the other agents.
A sudden explosion rocked the square and Kara's eyes darted to the stage as Lena was pulled off by one of her security who was then hit by a piece of debris, Kara removed her glasses and zoomed off to disregard her civilian clothes, she came back to pull Lena's security from the fire, caused by the explosion, she then looked for the Luthor, seeing her backing away from Alex fighting with a man dressed as an officer, Alex was disarmed by the man and held in a headlock.
Without hesitation Kara rushed over to them
"LET HER GO" Kara demanded, squaring off to the man
He smirked "You're gonna let me walk out of here" he said holding the gun muzzle to Alex
"Lex Luthor hired you to kill his sister didn't he" Kara accused
"Mr Luthor has reach even from maximum security lock down" he sneered, he took a step forward with Alex "Now I'm walking out of here"
Shots rang out as the man holding Alex sudden fell forward, collapsing on the floor, Kara was instantly on the defensive, but her eyes wandered up to a very stunned looking Lena with a gun in her hands, her green eyes staring at the man she had shot, now laying on the ground.
"Miss Luthor" Kara stepped forwards slowly, reaching out for the gun
Green eyes flickered up to hers, blinking and focusing on the super, she handed over the gun instantly, their eyes meeting
They watched each other for a moment before Lena's security came and ushered her away, back to her SUV before taking off down the street, Kara watching her go, before looking down at Alex who was putting pressure on the man's wound
"Through and through" she said "Nice work Supergirl" she said keeping up the appearance
Kara looked down the street where Lena's car had left "I had help" she muttered absentmindedly, this woman kept surprising her, Kara couldn't make her mind up what she thought of the young Luthor. All that she knew was that she had just saved her sister by shooting a man, had she meant it to be a through and through or was she just lucky, something in the back of Kara's mind told her that Lena Luthor made her own luck.
Kara stayed at the scene for a short while afterwards, just to make sure everything was okay but eventually she made her way back to Catco magazine, she sat at her computer, staring at the screen, Miss Grant was out and so Kara had a pretty much relaxed afternoon.
Not long after Clarke had come by with a fresh news print in his hand
Kara smiled up at him "Your article on L-Corp" she said hopping to her feet
Clark presented it to her "Yep fresh off the press from Metropolis, which reminds me Lois says hi" he grinned at her, he glanced down to the tattoo on his right forearm, the one he shared with Lois, his soul mate, it was in the shape of the infinity sign.
A dull pang hit Kara's stomach, she had hoped when she was younger that maybe Kryptonion's were different with their tattoos but Clark shared one with the love of his life Lois Lane and the other which he kept hidden belonged to Lex Luthor. Kara was still the strange exception to this fated rule.
"I'm heading over to L-Corp, Miss Luthor wanted to be one of the firsts to read the article her brothers enemy had written on her" he shrugged "You want to come?"
Kara nodded without hesitation and grabbed her bag, heading to the elevator with Clark.
