"Kara!" Lena Luthor called out inside her spacious penthouse as she walked through the front door.

"I'm in the great room."

The Luthor heiress followed the sound of her lover's voice. She knew something was wrong when she heard it. Kara's customary cheerfulness was absent. Moments later, she found her best friend and the love of her life curled up in a blanket as Kara sat on the inner window ledge staring out into the twilight.

"Kara, darling, please tell me, what's the matter?" the CEO asked.

Even in the low light of the room, Lena noticed the tracks of tears on the face she cherished most of all. Frantic now, she wrapped Kara in her arms. "What's happened, baby?!"

The blonde sighed deeply. "While Jeremiah sent Alex and me on a wild goose chase to raid an abandoned Cadmus facility, he beat up J'onn with some kind of bionic arm Cadmus had created for him and breached the DEO's computer system. Then my foster father stole the alien registry and took it straight to your mother. Alex and I tried to stop them but your mother lured me away by endangering a train full of passengers. By the time I'd returned to Alex's side, they'd given us the slip."

"Dear God in heaven," a shaken Lena whispered. "Lillian was willing to kill innocent people to cover her tracks?"

Kara nodded sullenly.

"I…I guess I never really knew my mother at all," Lena noted sadly. "Even though she'd always favored Lex over me, she'd never been violent toward anyone when I lived with her. Kara, I'm so sorry for what my mother has done to your family." Then Lena shook her head. "But I don't want you to lose hope. I'm certain she's found some way to manipulate your foster father into doing her dirty work. I promise you, I'll do everything I can to help you find him and get him away from her. I'll start looking through the company's records first thing in the morning. Maybe something, some sort of irregularity might tip us off and lead us to them."

She received a grateful, tearful smile from Kara then. "Lena, I'm so lucky to have you in my life. You're the best friend I have ever had. I love you—I always have and always will."

Lena gently pressed her forehead against her soulmate's. "Kara, I love you more than life itself. I'd do anything for you. You can always count on me, darling."

Then the lovers sealed their pledges of devotion for each other with a tender kiss.

Alien Bar

Love and happiness

Something that can make you want to do wrong, make you do right…ye-ah.

Arisia gasped loudly when she heard the opening stanza of Al Green's classic soul song. "Jesse! Steve! I adore this song! Lena played it on her music reproduction equipment for me the first night I'd come to Earth! There's just something about it that really makes me want to copulate!"

The two humans sitting with her simply gawked at the alien woman while the guitar riff took over from the church organ opening and Al and his sax players got their funk on. Then Jesse cleared her throat and asked, "Would you be willing to settle for me dancing with you to the song instead?"

"Sure!" the Green Lantern of Sector 2815 chirped. Then she turned to Steve Trevor and asked, "Do you want to dance with us, too?"

He shook his head and smiled. "I think I'll just sit this one out and enjoy the two of you having fun."

Now Jesse smirked and shot a naughty look his way. "Come on, Arisia. I have the sneaking suspicion that it turns Steve on to watch two hot ladies getting down on the dance floor. Wouldn't be the first time a man enjoyed something like that. Why don't we give him a little show, if you know what I mean…"

"I'm up for that!" the alien announced, grabbed Jesse's hand and took her to dance near a pair of women who were playing a game of pool near their booth.

While he nursed his drink, Trevor smiled when his companions' sensual dance moves caught the eyes of the red head and her Latina partner who were playing pool along with that of an athletic-looking black guy who shared a table with a hot blonde alien babe and a nerdy-looking human male. Truth to tell, he couldn't blame any of them for staring at Jesse and Arisia. The tall blonde with her runner's physique along with the petite alien's surprisingly buxom figure made the pair stand out in a crowd. Even so, Steve only had eyes for the little Green Lantern whose fearless attitude had enchanted him from the start. So, while Al Green continued to sing and Arisia continued to dance, he fell even deeper under her spell, a fact that didn't bother him in the least.

"Oh…man," Maggie Sawyer observed with a low moan. "The way that alien babe is grinding her body against that tall blonde hottie should be a crime," she muttered. "Maybe I should arrest 'em for causing a public disturbance!" she announced brightly to her lover.

Alex Danvers merely smirked at her tiny girlfriend. Even though she was still down in the dumps about her dad, the DEO agent appreciated Maggie's attempts at distracting her from her troubles. Besides, those women were pretty damn hot…not that Alex had really noticed or anything. "Say, Sawyer, aren't you supposed to be getting us some more beer?"

Maggie flashed her dimpled smile Alex's way and the DEO agent thought her girl looked freaking adorable. "Okay, okay…hold your horses, Danvers. I'm going. I can't help it if I was kinda distracted by the…show."

"Well," Alex purred lowly, "if you hurry back with my beer, perhaps I'll give you your own private show back at our place, one you'd probably enjoy even more than the one those two are putting on here."

"Be back in less than a minute!"

As the Latina rushed over to the bartender, Alex was secure in the knowledge that her girlfriend was SO whipped.

"Damn…" James Olsen groaned under his breath while he stole glimpses at the petite alien dancing with the tall blonde human whenever Winn and Lyra were too fixated on each other to notice his wandering eye. Although the pixie-haired alien was cute, the fit blonde woman was the one who'd grabbed his attention. Her long, luscious hair was lighter in hue than Kara's. As it trailed down her back almost to her enticing bubble butt, she entranced him as he watched her move on the dance floor.

After the song was over, the women returned to the booth they shared with the blonde, rugged-looking guy whose bearing virtually screamed "I'm military special forces!" Meanwhile, at that moment, Lyra excused herself from their table to get another round of drinks at the bar, leaving him to discuss Winn's apparent good fortune in regards to meeting the woman from Starhaven.

Suddenly, the relaxed setting was disrupted by six men in ski masks who smashed through the front door. They began to shout at everyone and started to fire submachine gun rounds up toward the ceiling. However, before they could fire three rounds each, a brisk wind swept past James and in the blink of an eye, all six men were completely disarmed.

At first, he wondered if Kara had used her super speed to take their weapons. However, when he glanced around the bar, the Kryptonian was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was surprised to see the tall blonde woman standing alongside her petite companion and the burly guy. It was that moment when James noticed the pile of disassembled submachine gun parts lying at their feet.

"Gentlemen, and, trust me, I use the term loosely," the alien woman calmly announced, "I believe you've lost something."

"I'll say," Alex Danvers growled while she drew her alien firearm. "They've clearly lost their damn minds trying to pull a stunt like this in this city! You men listen up! I'm a Federal agent and my partner here is with NCPD! You are all under arrest!"

While two of the men appeared to signal they were surrendering, another pair turned for the door. Yet, before they could take even a step, the brisk wind had returned and in its passing left both men down and out cold on the dirty floor.

Meanwhile, another man drew a hunting knife from a sheath on his belt and stalked toward the petite alien only to be intercepted by the now grim-faced blonde man. The alien woman's companion lashed out at the other man's knife hand with his jacket and entangled the man's arm with the garment. Then the burly guy jerked the man forward, thrust his hip out, and used a judo throw to send the attacker down to the floor. Immediately thereafter, he gripped the fallen man's arm in both hands and twisted. The former attacker screamed in agony as his arm was broken.

Panicked now, the last man attempted to grab Lyra, probably wanting to use her as an inhuman shield. But the Starhaven woman dashed all his hopes when she kicked him hard in his gut and sent him flying several meters to land at the foot of the pool table where Maggie pistol-whipped him in the head and knocked him out.

While Maggie and the blonde guy moved to apprehend the men who hadn't resisted, Alex raced out the front door with her gun in her hand. James then took the opportunity to head out the back door and shed his civilian clothing, uncovering his Guardian suit as he reached for the helmet attached to his motorcycle.

Mere seconds later, he stood at the head of the alley and discovered an unmasked man with his arm around Alex's throat and holding a gun to her head while the buxom blonde alien angrily stared him down.

"Look, I've had just about enough of you idiots for one night. So, if you don't want to lose that hand, you had better release that woman before you really piss me off."

"Yeah? Well, what are you gonna do about it? You aren't even packing heat!"

The alien woman sighed loudly. "I guess you're going down the hard way then," she murmured before some kind of green energy bubble encased the man's gun hand.

James moved quickly. He fired his grappling gun at the man, sending the cable to wind itself around his target's torso. Then he retracted the cable, snapping the man off of his feet and dragging him across the street to smash head first right into Guardian's shield.

"Nice job, tall, dark and handsome!" the alien woman said with a friendly smile on her face. Then she turned her attention to Alex. "Are you alright, Agent…"

"Danvers. You must be that Green Lantern woman who assisted Supergirl with the incident at the airport."

"Actually, that wasn't me. My colleague was the one involved in that situation." Then the petite woman shot a questioning look at Alex. "Danvers…are you, by any chance, related to the famous Catco reporter, Kara Danvers?"

Alex shot a queer look at the woman. "She's my sister."

"Funny," the alien woman's blonde friend said, startling both Alex and him. It was as if she'd appeared right out of thin air! "I don't see the family resemblance," the tall blonde observed.

Before the human woman could say another word, a white van roared out from another alley, peeling its tires as its driver attempted to race from the scene of the attempted crime.

"They probably were going to abduct some of the aliens and toss them in that van," the tall blonde speculated. "We probably should stop that guy."

"Agreed," the petite woman said. Then she smirked. "Far be it from me to actually be given the opportunity to be useful by either my date or my dance partner after our fun night swirled down the bodily waste disposal unit," she snarked. "I'm just a Green Lantern, after all. So, go ahead. Be my guest."

The tall blonde shook her head. "Nah! Knock yourself out, Arisia. Besides, I'd have to open the back of the van, search for the tire iron and the jack, set it up, ratchet the damn thing up on each corner, and remove all the lugs before I take the tires off, all while the damn thing's moving. That's a lot of work. Admittedly, the end result would be pretty spectacular but I don't want to get my outfit dirty."

"Point taken," the alien drawled right before she raised her right fist and fired a massive emerald energy beam from a ring on her middle finger. Almost immediately, the energy formed itself into a gargantuan chain that would have been at home hauling a warship's anchor from the bottom of the sea. The chain attached itself to the van's drive train and when it pulled taut, it yanked both rear wheels out from under the chassis.

Even though the driver continued to gun the engine, the disabled vehicle was going nowhere fast. Now the alien woman turned and regarded her companions with a smug smile on her face. "I'd say that end result turned out to be pretty cool after all!"

As the other woman nodded and grinned at her friend, Alex and he said nothing. They simply continued to gawk at both of the strange women in disbelief.

DEO Building

March 5, 2017

2147 Local Time

Supergirl landed on the balcony and entered the building proper to find three of her new friends having a conversation with her sister. "Arisia! Jesse! Steve! Alex told me what you all did at the bar. Thank you for taking care of the Superfriends and helping Alex nab those Cadmus guys!"

Trevor nodded to her. "No problem, Supergirl. It was the least we could do, especially after those idiots attacked people who were just minding their own business."

"Besides, I finally got the chance to kick some ass!" a cheerful Arisia exclaimed.

"I heard!" Kara returned the petite blonde's grin with one of her own. Then Supergirl turned to regard the slightly taller blonde with an appreciative eye. "Disassembling their automatic weapons in the blink of a human's eye? Nice, JC, very nice!"

The elder woman shrugged nonchalantly. "Yeah, that was kind of cool. I would have topped it by using the-removing-the-tires-from-a-speeding-vehicle gag but I didn't want to mess up my outfit."

Kara nodded with a slight pout on her lips. "I understand but that would have been awesome to see!"

Alex then noisily cleared her throat. "Excuse me. I hate to break up this impromptu meeting of the Caped Club's Mutual Appreciation Society but the men we captured aren't the only Cadmus jerks out there attempting to abduct aliens in National City."

Kara had her 'deadly serious' look on her face now. "Alex is right. We need to warn the public about this. Maybe I should write an article about it in the Trib."

Jesse shook her head then. "I don't think so, Kara. We need as many eyeballs and ears to receive this message as quickly as possible. How about we go to the mayor and have him put Supergirl on the city's Emergency Broadcasting System. After you'd saved the whole world from Myriad last year, everyone will listen to you."

"That's actually…an excellent idea, Ms. Chambers," Alex said.

Jesse simply took Kara's sister's praise in stride. "Well, I do run a media company as my day job."

"That's nice to know," Alex noted agreeably before she turned to Supergirl and asked, "Kara, may I speak to you in private for a moment, please?"

"Okay," the Kryptonian said and followed her sister to a distant corner in the large space.

When they were situated, Alex spoke lowly. "Kara, these people know your secret identity?"

"Yes! Isn't that great? It's so nice to work with people like me for a change. It brings back fond memories from my time working with Team Flash, Team Arrow, and the Legends on Earth One!" Then a wary expression crossed her face. "Well, except for the memories I have about Mick. He's kind of strange...and a little...well...gross."

"I see your point about both Arisia and Ms. Chambers since they have powers. However, Colonel Trevor knows your secret, too!"

"He already knew about it."

Alex regarded Kara with her eyes wide open. "He what?!"

"Steve reports to General Lane. The general learned about my secret identity from Maxwell Lord and he'd told Steve about me. But I wouldn't worry about that, if I were you. I think Arisia and he are becoming an item and the men in his family have always had a thing for a certain superhero. Why, his granddad and his dad worked closely with Wonder Woman! How cool is that?!"

"That…is definitely pretty cool, sis. Right now, though, let's prepare the statement you're going to present on the Emergency Broadcasting System with Ms. Chambers' assistance, all right?"

She grinned at her sister, her port in any storm. "Okay, Alex. Let's get to work!"
