Chapter 14
"Madame President, Supergirl is here to see you," a Secret Service agent announced as he let the Girl of Steel into the den of the cabin at Camp David.
"Thank you Jenkins," President Marsdin smiled at him. He gave a nod and then closed the door.
"Madame President, it is good to see you," Kara smiled.
"Good to see you back on your feet. Alex and the crack squad at the DEO really know what they are doing," Marsdin smiled back.
"They do. Alex wasn't able to tell me why you needed to see me. Colonel Haley…" the blonde started and then stopped.
"What? I'm the president, you can tell me," Olivia gave her a look.
"It's not my place to say anything. Alex wouldn't want me to. Her concern for me and what happened have her a little on edge that's all. Nothing she can't handle though," Kara clarified.
"I can imagine that it certainly has been trying these last few days. You'll get them, I have faith," Olivia said.
"We're on it but I'm guessing that isn't why you wanted to talk to me," the blonde said.
"No, you are right. This announcement will be a big one. I'm going to be meeting with the leaders of the Senate and Congress to discuss our next move and I have concerns about security. Camp David is secure but with the attack on you, I have to wonder if we are as safe as we thought," the President admitted.
"You may be right. Apparently I was number two on a hit list Mercy Graves made up. Since Superman is off planet, my guess is that you're next on that list. You're the only one more powerful than I am. Alex is coordinating with the local branch of the DEO and the Secret Service. She and some of the DEO's best are on their way here but I already have J'onn helping here," Kara quickly explained. Once clear of the DEO and with some time on her hands, the blonde suddenly had a terrible thought about who the next target could be. She'd tried to reach Brainy on the comms at the same time Alex was trying to reach her. The redhead had had a bad feeling after her sister had left and quietly had Brainy tell J'onn what was going on. The Martian was on his way and he'd caught up to the blonde as they approached the grounds of the President's retreat. Now, he flew around the camp, looking for holes in the Secret Service's line or anything suspicious.
"Should we get everyone out of here?" Marsdin wondered.
"Your work is too important to let them win by changing things now. Besides then they'd know we're onto them and we don't want that – a leg up for us is an advantage. This group is well organized and they have help, someone whom Mercy called ET. We're trying to find out who that is but initials aren't much to go on. The brain trust is on it and the only thing we need to focus on right now is making sure you and the other leaders are safe," Kara explained.
"You think that they'll try here because it'll make the biggest splash. Is it possible that this ET is inside my inner circle?" Olivia wanted to know.
"Everyone here has to be background checked and thoroughly vetted, so no. Plus I had the DEO run the initials, no one protecting you here has the initials ET nor have they used the initials as a nickname," the blonde reassured her.
"Good," the President smiled before there was a knock on the door. She bade the person to enter and it was revealed that it was Jenkins.
"The Senators and Congresspersons are here Madam President," he announced.
"Go. Security is covered," Kara promised. She nodded and left the room. The blonde's comms crackled to life as she left the room.
"I think I found something you need to see," J'onn said.
"I'm on my way," Kara told him.
