"Let's talk," Supergirl said from the air.
"Yes, how about we talk about how you flew me and my car out to the middle of nowhere instead of doing this in my office," Cat raged.
"I know but Jimmy and I thought this would be hilarious," Kara smiled.
"I'd fire you both if this wasn't the exclusive of a lifetime," Cat said angrily.
"You got questions ready because I'm ready to do this," Kara said enthusiastically.
"Do you smoke?" Cat asked her as she took out a cigarette.
"Well, no," Kara said awkwardly.
"Just a sec," Cat said as she smoked her cigarette.
Kara dropped down to the ground annoyed and now bored. "So...where are you from?" Cat asked taking out her phone recorder.
"Krypton," Kara answered.
"Well, no shit," Cat muttered.
"My parents sent me here where they thought it would be safe," Kara said.
"Big mistake there," Cat smirked.
"I know, right," Kara's eyes widened.
"I've heard this story before. Give me something juicier," Cat ordered.
"I'm...actually more powerful than Superman. You can go ahead and quote me on that," Kara said confidently.
"And why is that?" Cat asked intrigued.
"Because I was exposed to your sun's radiation for years while I was asleep. I was supposed to have arrived on Earth sooner than Superman," Kara said.
"So, why are we just hearing from you now?" Cat asked.
"What?" Kara asked surprised by the question.
"Yeah, where were you when the earthquake struck two years ago killing hundreds of thousands of people?" Cat asked.
"I...," Kara tried to excuse herself.
"Or the wildfires that nearly wiped out several endangered species?" Cat continued.
"Look, I had to be ready," Kara lied.
"Any plans to start a family, maybe world domination with your spawn?" Cat asked.
"How come you never asked my cousin these questions?" Kara asked annoyed.
"He's obviously gay," Cat speculated.
Kara stopped herself from refuting that. "You know what? This interview is over," Kara said and flew off leaving Cat behind.
The next morning, Kara went to her favorite diner and ordered some sweet cinnamon buns. "Damn girl, how do you stay so thin eating these every day," the black waitress asked.
"How about its none of your business," Kara shot back. "Now, give me another!" Kara said in a deeper demonic tone.
Alex then arrived and sat down across from her. "I called you last night, but you didn't answer."
"I fell asleep," Kara figured.
James then joined the table. "What are you doing here?" Kara asked.
"It's the only place in town where I can get alcoholic green tea," James explained.
"Makes sense. They are delicious," Kara agreed. "You remember James Olsen from work?" Kara turned to Alex.
"Yeah, he's Superman's photographer," Alex said obviously.
"How's the covert alien-hunting business going?" James asked.
"Not as covert as it should be. That is classified information," Alex stressed to Kara.
"You know, when I'm drunk it all comes out," Kara excused herself.
"I'll see you back at the office...or not...if I get fired," James said nonchalantly as he left.
Alex gave Kara a disappointed look. "Are you two together?" Alex asked accusingly.
"We're just friends," Kara replied. "With benefits," she giggled.
"Anyone you have relationships with could be targeted," Alex warned.
"And I'm okay with that," Kara said unconcernedly.
"Well, you need to stop telling people you're Supergirl," Alex continued.
"Well, my boss knows and she's going to release my exclusive interview soon," Kara smiled.
"What the fuck, Kara?" Alex hissed.
"Hey, it was the only way I could have gotten that job," Kara said.
The television screen then displayed Cat's interview with Supergirl. "I should get back to work," Kara said awkwardly.
Kara strolled into work and went into Cat's office. "That was the worst interview I have ever done," Cat said annoyed.
"I had fun," Kara said.
"Well, at least I got two bits of information I can share with the world," Cat said confidently.
"What's that?" Kara wondered.
"You're Superman's cousin and you're stronger than he is," Cat said.
"Is that...really controversial?" Kara asked confused.
"The important thing is that the Daily Planet can suck it. I scooped them," Cat said proudly.
"It certainly helps to have Supergirl as your assistant," Kara said obnoxiously.
"I knew who you were the moment you came into my office," Cat said.
"Yeah, bullshit," Kara doubted. "By the way, do you want to know anything else about me or my home planet. Unlike Superman, I actually remember it."
"Nope," Cat replied.
"Err...why not?" Kara wondered.
"If I give the public everything all at once, they'll get bored with you. Instead, I am going to give them small tidbits every so often. I'm going to milk this for as long as I can," Cat revealed.
"That's smart," Kara acknowledged.
"My expose is going to top Katelyn Jenner," Cat smiled confidently.
"Hey, if a man can be the woman of the year, why can't an alien female?" Kara remarked.
"Exactly," Cat agreed.
Kara strolled down the hallways of the DEO with Hank. "I would ask if you lost your mind, but I don't think you had one, to begin with," Hank lectured.
"It's no big deal," Kara downplayed.
"You revealed classified information about yourself. Now, the world knows that you're Superman's cousin. That makes him more vulnerable," Hank said.
"Like I give a shit. I'm more powerful than he is and he gets all the press," Kara said annoyed.
"Because he's actually worked to make the world a better place, unlike you," Hank pointed out. "What's next? A book deal? A reality TV show?"
"Those are all excellent ideas," Kara said sarcastically.
"You deal with her," Hank said to Alex as he stormed off.
"Why did you do that interview?" Alex demanded.
"To save my job. I'm a terrible secretary," Kara admitted.
"How about you quit your job and the government gives you loads of cash to keep your mouth shut," Alex suggested.
"Is that really a possibility?" Kara asked brightly.
Alex sighed condescendingly. "I'm still trying to figure out who I am," Kara said.
"You're a contract alien killer for the DEO," Alex answered for her.
"Damn, that's cold," Kara said.
"We have a code grey, a car pile-up on the highway. No sign of alien activity," an analyst reported.
"So, why should I give a shit?" Hank asked.
"Because Kara is already gone," Alex said.
Kara flew as fast as she could towards the car pile up. Once she got there, she felt an orgasmic rush as she saw the fires, the car pieces everywhere, and the police sirens. "Oh God!" she said in the mix of it.
Kara avoided the electrical wire sparking and entered the bus. She found the driver and brought her outside to the paramedics. "Thank you," the driver said gratefully.
The bus suddenly exploded as the wire met the punctured gasoline tank. Kara closed her eyes in ecstasy as she felt the heat and impact of the blast. "Awesome," Kara said as her body tingled.
Suddenly, Kara was hit with an energy surge by a Whiplash rip-off. "Who are you?" Kara demanded of the armored man.
"I'm just a ghost," he replied.
"Like a ghost, I am going to go right through you," Kara threatened. "What do you want?"
"I want the Man of Steel to suffer," he said.
"You and me both, dude," Kara agreed.
"Wait...what?" Ghost wondered.
"Yeah, let's take him together," Kara suggested.
"No, that's not the plan. I'm going to kill you so he feels the loss," Ghost said.
"Oh, trust me. He won't care one bit if I'm killed. He'd probably thank you," Kara said.
"What the fuck?" Ghost wondered. He fired on Kara with energy blasts that deflected off her suit and caused explosions on the cars nearby.
"Oh God, yes," Kara said as she saw cars explode around her.
"Somebody, stop him!" a civilian cried out.
"Oh, fine," Kara said taking a car door and flinging it at not-Whiplash. The door hit him disabling his suit. Kara advanced on not-Whiplash for the kill. Realizing his suit was damaged, not-Whiplash flew off into the air.
"Go get him," Alex said to Kara through her earpiece.
"Nah, it makes the chase more interesting if he gets away," Kara smiled.
Back at the DEO, Kara regrouped with Alex and Hank. "The Daily Planet is calling him Reactorman," Hank said.
"That's a stupid name," Kara rolled her eyes.
"Almost as stupid as you letting him get away," Hank said annoyed.
"He's not even an alien," Kara said defensively.
"Yeah, well, he's fought Superman a number of times. Neither one of them came out on top," Hank explained.
"That's so lame. I could kill him with one punch," Kara said.
"Well, you lost your chance to kill him. He's not a DEO priority," Hank said.
"Can I kill him on my own time?" Kara asked.
"Sure, knock yourself out," Hank allowed.
"Sweet," Kara smiled.
Maxwell Lord looked over the front of an expensive high-tech train capable of going 450 mph. "I build the fastest trains. Believe me, no one builds faster trains than I do," Maxwell said proudly.
"There's a train in China that goes faster than ours," an assistant told Maxwell.
"You don't say? That's very interesting. I want our train to go 500 mph," Maxwell ordered.
"Sir, that's physically impossible. We've been working on this for three years," the head engineer said.
Maxwell considered that thoughtfully. "You're fired," he said to the head engineer.
"Wait...what?" the head engineer thought he misheard.
"You're fired. I want it faster. There's no way the Chinese are going to beat us on speed," Maxwell said. Maxwell then turned to his other engineers. "I want the streaks to be blue. Make it happen. I believe in you."
Reactorman suddenly fell from the ceiling. "I'm looking for someone with a background in nuclear fission," he said.
"Well, I know everything about fission. In fact, I invented it," Maxwell replied.
"Good to know," Reactorman said and then took Maxwell with him into the air.
Kara saw the news that Maxwell had been kidnapped by Reactorman. She immediately got into costume and flew over to Lord Industries. By the time she got there, Reactorman was already gone. "Damn, I'm too late," she said disappointedly.
"He took Mr. Lord," an engineer told her nonchalantly.
"You don't seem too concerned," Kara noted.
"He's an asshole," the engineer explained.
"I know what you mean," Kara said knowingly.
Maxwell Lord was quite talkative as a prisoner. "Believe me, I know the best cleaning lady. She can get this cleaned up in no time."
"That is the least of my worries," Reactorman said showing Maxwell the fucked-up side of his face.
"I have the best doctors...," Maxwell began.
"Shut the fuck up!" Reactorman shouted losing patience. "You're going to repair my suit or I'll kill you."
"Fine, have it your way," Maxwell agreed. "I'm going to need a Coca Cola though."
Kara entered Cat's office and found her drinking champagne. "Little early to start drinking?" Kara chided.
"Don't...try...to ruin my good mood," Cat warned.
"I read over the article and it reads like your drunk...which you are," Kara observed.
"I'm sensing some hostility," Cat noted.
"The tone is a little nasty," Kara pointed out.
"Good," Cat said.
"You do realize I'm the same person, right? This is shit," Kara said boldly.
"I am building you up. It's the same thing as Jonah Jameson with Spiderman. I tear you down, so you better yourself. I could be like the Daily Planet that constantly sucks Superman's dick, but I won't," Cat said. "I care too much about you to see you become overconfident and fail."
"Thanks," Kara said uncertainly.
"I need you for the florist arrangements," James interrupted.
"What flowers?" Kara asked confused."Oh, right," Kara realized James was pulling her away.
Kara exited Cat's office to talk to James in private. "I found Reactorman. He lives in a junkyard sixty miles from here," James said.
"Sweet. I would rather be there than here," Kara told him.
"Be careful, Kara. Superman had trouble with him," James warned.
"He's a human being. How hard could he be?" Kara said dismissively.
Kara dressed as Supergirl sped towards the junkyard and landed near Reactorman's shack. Using her X-ray vision, Kara found Maxwell tied up. "You're a great American," Maxwell complimented.
"Where is he?" Kara asked.
"I don't know. He made me work on his suit," Maxwell replied as Kara untied him.
Reactorman suddenly blasted Kara through the shack and into debris. Kara got up and tossed scrap metal off of her. He fired on Kara and didn't let off. Burst-after-burst went straight at Kara keeping her at bay. Finally, Reactorman let off to see what damage he had done.
Kara sighed as she dusted herself off. "Was that it?" she asked condescendingly. With super-speed, she punched Reactorman to the ground. Kara's eyes glowed red as she went for a killing blow.
"Kara stop!" a voice from above said.
Kara squinted as she looked up and saw Superman float down towards her. Kara let Reactorman go as she faced her older-looking cousin. "What do you want?" Kara asked impatiently.
"You can't kill him. That isn't our way," Superman told her.
"You didn't have a problem killing Zod or Doomsday," Kara pointed out.
"Those deaths were necessary to save millions," Superman replied.
"And that's what I'm doing now," Kara argued.
"Crowley is a damaged man. He can be redeemed," Superman said.
"Well, how many ass-kickings is it going to take for that to happen?" Kara asked rhetorically.
As they were arguing, Reactorman took off into the sky. "Just great," Kara muttered. "You know what? Instead of kicking Reactorman's ass, I am going to kick your ass," Kara said to Superman.
"Excuse me?" Superman doubted.
"Yeah, let's do this. I have a lot of aggression I got to get out and there's no one around," Kara said.
"Kara, I don't think," Superman said backing away.
Kara and Superman clashed at the fist causing a shock wave that threw scrap metal debris up into the air. Kara grinned as she got a true fight.
Kara woke up bruised and bleeding on her couch with Alex and James at her side. "Damn it," she realized she had lost. "How long have I been out?"
"A few hours," Alex said.
"Where's my cousin?" Kara asked.
"He took off; volcanic eruption in the Pacific," James said.
"That sounds like bullshit," Kara muttered.
Kara then saw Maxwell on TV. "I owe my life to America's greatest hero...Superman," he said smiling.
"That bastard," Kara said angrily. "I don't understand. How did he even know I was fighting Crowley?" Kara asked confused.
James gave Kara a guilty look. "I may have made some calls."
"What the fuck, James? I would have killed Reactorman if it weren't for him," Kara raged.
"Yeah, well, I thought you would fuck it up and get Maxwell Lord killed," James said honestly.
"It feels like you don't believe in me," Kara said angrily.
"I don't, not yet," James replied.
"Fuck you! I can do anything he can. I'm stronger than he is," Kara said standing up.
"You just got your ass beat," James pointed out.
"I don't even remember what happened. It could have been a lucky punch," Kara said.
"Actually, I have a video of it. It's pretty brutal," James said.
"I'd like to see that video...for educational purposes," Alex requested.
"Wait, don't I have a party I have to go to," Kara suddenly remembered.
"Yeah, you got like ten minutes to get ready," Alex said nonchalantly.
Kara gave a silent scream as she pulled her hair. "Don't worry. I got a dress for you," Alex said handing it over to her.
Kara gave the green dress a suspicious look. "It looks horrible."
"You're a secretary. You can't overshadow your boss," Alex lectured.
"Yeah, you would know," Kara shot back.
"We'll be outside while you change," James said taking Alex with her.
"If you think its necessary," Kara allowed.
James and Alex went outside the apartment into the hallway. "You going to tell her the truth that she nearly killed Superman?" Alex asked.
"No," James replied.
"Fair enough," Alex allowed.
"I'm done," Kara said completely ready to go in her ugly green dress.
Kara went to her boss's party to celebrate her alter ego. When she got there, all the hostesses were in Supergirl uniforms. "Wow, its like comic-con here," Kara noted.
"You're late," Cat said displeased.
"Wouldn't be the first time," Kara smirked.
"Where are my magazines?" Cat asked.
"No clue," Kara replied.
"The truth is that Kara spent all day autographing them with your name," Winn stepped in.
"Well, good," Cat said and walked off.
"That was unnecessary but thank you," Kara said appreciatively.
"You know, you could thank me by, you know, dancing with me," Winn said awkwardly.
"Still in the friend zone," Kara told him.
"Damn," Winn winced.
Cat came over to Maxwell Lord. "Kidnapped one moment, rubbing elbows the next."
"Yeah, I'd rather be in the junkyard tied up than here but what can I do," Maxwell replied.
"We could dance," Cat stared at him angrily.
"We could. I'm the best dancer. I have the best dancing instructors, all beautiful women. Did I ever tell you about how I survived an avalanche on Mt. Everest?" Maxwell said.
Kara eventually saw James standing around. "I'm still mad at you," Kara told him.
"I know but I can't hold in the truth any longer," James said visibly torn.
"What truth?" Kara wondered.
"You kicked Superman's ass," James told her.
"I did," Kara said amazed with herself.
"It wasn't even close," James said.
"I am so happy, right now. Dance with me," Kara said pleased.
As the two danced, Reactorman fell through the glass ceiling ready to kill. "Where is Supergirl?" he demanded.
"You could totally kill him, right now," James remarked.
"Yeah, but I have to be in costume first," Kara said obviously.
"Hope no one dies while you get it on," James said dryly.
"Don't be a drama queen," Kara lectured.
Reactorman suddenly fired an energy blast at a Supergirl poster destroying it. "You monster!" Kara shrieked.
"Who's the drama queen now," James chided.
"I'm going to go now. Don't do anything stupid," Kara told him.
"Don't tell me what to do," James replied.
Reactorman advanced on Maxwell Lord. "You see how I improved your suit. I am the best technician, one-of-a-kind," Maxwell said, proud of himself.
Reactorman aimed towards Maxwell but was actually going for the Supergirl poster. Kara stopped him just in time with a good kick.
"Wow, I should make you one of my bodyguards. The pay is terrific," Maxwell said to her.
"Oh really? Let's talk," Kara said interested.
Kara was suddenly blasted with nuclear energy. "Wow, that tickled," Kara said amused.
"Superman failed to save my family," Reactorman said to her.
"Well, I'm not apologizing," Kara said crossing her arms.
Reactorman continued to fire on Kara but she deflected the beams with her cape. "I knew this would be useful one day," Kara said as the cape deflected beams all around her. One beam knocked a concrete pillar down threatening an oblivious Winn.
Kara sighed and lifted the pillar just before it could hit Winn. "Move," Kara told him.
"Hey, you want to hurt Superman. I'm his best friend. Come after me," James said boldly.
"Making a lot of assumptions there," Reactorman said as James fled.
Reactorman flew up through the ceiling to go after James. Kara continued to lift the pillar as a drunk and cowering Winn crawled away. "Any day now," Kara yelled at him.
"Please stop yelling. I don't know where I am," Winn said pathetically.
Kara dropped the pillar and looked for Reactorman.
Reactorman went after James through the air firing energy blasts at him. Kara suddenly intercepted him in the air and the two landed a distance away. Kara punched Reactorman to the face nearly knocking him out and tore off his reactor core from his chest.
"Too easy," Kara smirked.
"That reactor will overheat turning it into a dirty bomb," Hank warned through her earpiece.
"Oh really?" Kara wondered.
"It's too late. You can't stop it now," Reactorman said to her.
Kara rolled her eyes and flew super-sonic into space where the core exploded in her hand. She then flew straight down and landed near the fallen Reactorman. "You were too weak to be a proper challenge, so I am going to let you live," Kara told him.
Kara came back to the DEO. "Something tells me this won't be the last non-alien you'll either kill or severely injure," Hank said annoyed.
"That's right," Kara said brightly.
"I think this is cause to celebrate," Alex said.
"Damn right," Kara agreed.
"How do the Danvers sisters celebrate a good ass-kicking?" Alex asked.
"We get drunk as fuck," Kara answered for her.
