Kara flew over to California to enjoy the windy breeze of the mountains and all the fire. Closing her eyes, Kara basked in the inferno that was destroying thousands of acres of forest. With her super-hearing, she could hear the animals scramble about trying to get somewhere safe. She could hear every tree buckle and crackle as it was hit with the fire.
"Help us! We need help!" she heard a voice.
Kara opened her eyes and looked around. "Really?" she sighed annoyed at the interruption. She took hold of the trailer and brought it miles away from the forest fire. She then opened the door to see the family huddled inside.
"God damn! You had a truck, a road, and a radio. Did you not see the forest fire coming? What the fuck is wrong with you people? I can't enjoy a God damn forest fire without some idiot needing me to rescue them. You guys better get your shit together," Kara lectured them and flew off.
Kara strolled with Alex through Metropolis on their way to a coffee shop. Alex was reading a news article from her smartphone on the fire. "So, where did you put them?" Alex wondered as the article didn't say.
"On the top of a mountain without a truck, radio, or map. That will teach them to ruin my camping," Kara said.
"You know, you could have ended that forest fire with your frost breath," Alex pointed out.
"I could have," Kara agreed.
The two entered the coffee shop with Kara looking to pick up her boss' latte. "Is Ms. Grant's latte ready?" Kara asked the workers behind the counter.
"Not yet," one of them said.
"Why the fuck not?" Kara asked in a low demonic voice.
"You work for Cat Grant? I'm sorry," a blond-haired man dressed in black said with a snarky tone.
"I know, right?" Kara sighed as she waited for her latte to get done.
"I hear she's a piece of work," the strange man said.
"A reputation she proudly fosters," Kara replied diplomatically.
"Is she really as horrible as everyone says she is?" he asked.
"You trying to get me fired?" Kara asked him. "And to answer your question: yes."
"I heard she breathes fire, eats babies," he went on.
"No, that's what I do," Kara said half-jokingly.
"Well, she's very lucky to have you," the man said.
"And lucky to have had you," Kara replied.
"Say what?" the man suddenly changed his demeanor.
"Adam Foster, we finally meet," Kara smiled.
"You know who I am?" Adam questioned.
"Did you think me going to the worst coffee shop in all of Metropolis was a coincidence? I've been stalking you ever since you got here," Kara revealed.
"That's unsettling," Adam said disturbed.
"Not too flirty now, are you?" Kara mocked.
"I think your latte is ready," Alex reminded her.
"I have to go," a freaked-out Adam retreated.
Kara ignored him as he rushed out. It made the chase all that more interesting when they run. Alex noticed CNN was on about a certain senator visiting Metropolis for an anti-alien rally. "Such bigotry," Alex shook her head.
"You do realize we kill aliens for a living?" Kara reminded her.
"I have to get back to the DEO. Senator Miranda Crane has just made herself a big target," Alex sighed.
Kara and Winn awkwardly took the elevator with a bunch of people inside. The two waited for everyone to leave and then Kara pushed the button to stop the elevator from moving. She then aggressively pulled Winn to her and started making out with him.
"Wow, alright," Winn said surprised.
"Take off your clothes," Kara ordered.
"You do know that these elevators have cameras, right?" Winn warned.
"James and I uninstalled them weeks ago. Now, stop being such a pussy," Kara said as she tore his shirt apart.
A few moments later, Kara used her super-speed to get dressed within a second. She pushed the elevator button letting herself out forgetting that Winn was still struggling to get his pants back on.
Meanwhile, Cat was having a staff meeting with James and Lucy present. "Miranda Crane is in town. She is a lightning rod for bigots, hippies, and aliens, and yes, that is the order in which I detest them."
"Our top reporter has made the mistake of dumping Catco for a crash grab at Vanity Fair. Lucy, make him wish he was never born," Cat ordered.
"On it," Lucy said without objection.
"Meanwhile, we need someone at the rally. Someone who has photography skills, someone who is familiar with aliens, and someone we can use the race card on when they inevitably get attacked by a protester," Cat said bluntly.
"I can do it," James volunteered.
"Try not to get stopped and frisked this time," Cat told him. "And make sure you get a quote from Miranda Crane that will offend everyone."
"Does it have to be true?" James asked.
"Now, you're beginning to understand," Cat grinned.
Kara followed Cat to her office only to find Adam looking around. "Who is that man?" Cat asked.
"That's your son, Adam," Kara said nonchalantly.
"How the hell?" Cat wondered.
"Sorry to show up while you're working," Adam said awkwardly.
"No, it was an excellent strategy to ambush me at my place at work," Cat complimented. "So, are you okay? Do you need money? Are you homeless? Facing prison?"
"No, none of those things. I just flew into Metropolis for a few days. I got your letter," Adam said taking it out.
"My letter? Right," Cat nodded as the wheels in her brain turned for an answer. "Well, I'm glad you're here."
"Thanks for reaching out," Adam said putting more salt on the wound.
"There's just so much to say, but mommy is a little busy today," Cat told him.
"No surprise there," Adam smirked.
"Is that sass? I will not tolerate sass in my office," Cat raged.
"I don't give a shit what you tolerate," Adam said darkly as he towered above her.
"What do you want?" Cat glared.
"Dinner, tonight," Adam demanded.
"Sure," Cat said meekly.
"Have your cheerleader email me," Adam said as he walked out.
Cat waited for him to be gone. "Kara!" she shouted.
Kara strolled into the office. "What?"
"What have you done?" Cat demanded.
"You've been writing a lot of letters, I found them in your trash can, and I decided to mail them off," Kara said.
"He has more than just this one?" Cat asked horrified.
"Oh, dozens of them," Kara clarified.
"I put my heart and soul into those letters," Cat said fearfully.
"And they were so beautiful," Kara said wiping away a tear.
"Do you know what this means? That little bastard could sell those letters to TMZ. I am so royally fucked, right now," Cat raged.
"Okay, I can fix this. I'll frisk him for any other letters he might have and wipe his memory clean," Kara suggested.
"I would fire you if you weren't the biggest source of revenue for me," Cat said pissed-off.
Kara grinned amused and sat across from Cat as if they were equals. "He's kind of hawt. Like, what if, I had his babies? You would then have super-grand kids," Kara suggested.
"That's horrifying and intriguing at the same time. Are you fucking with me, Kara? I'm in no mood for your jokes," Cat said grumpily.
"I'm being totally serious. I get a piece of your money pie and you get a piece of my overwhelming power," Kara said.
"We negotiating?" Cat wondered.
"Always," Kara replied.
"What if he rejects you?" Cat asked.
"I only need him to impregnate me and then he can piss off," Kara said bluntly.
"I don't like a child raised in that kind of environment. Adam was brought up by just his father. I don't want my grandchildren to be raised by just...you," Cat said condescendingly.
"You want me to make that dinner reservation?" Kara asked already knowing the answer.
"Why haven't you done it already," Cat snapped.
At Metropolis City Hall, Senator Miranda Crane spoke to a large group of anti-alien protesters. Many of them were holding derogatory signs of Supergirl. James was mixed into the crowd with his new camera. "Thank you all for coming. Aliens, whether they fly with red capes or not, they are a threat to this country, our freedom, and our lives. Starting today, we need solutions," Sen. Crane said.
Hank and Alex were a distance away from the rally posing as FBI agents. Alex aimed an alien detector on Sen. Crane. "Got nothing. Turns out she's just a bitch," Alex said.
"Try it again," Hank said grumpily.
"We need to know where they live and what they can do. Most importantly, we need to stop them from landing in our country and taking our jobs," Sen. Crane said.
"They took my job!" an angry protester yelled.
"They took your job!" another shouted in support of the first.
They tuk er jawb!" a third said.
"Da durka der!" a fourth one added.
"I say we build a dome over the entire country," Sen. Crane said. "Also, if we continue to pollute and destroy our environment, they will stop coming. If we do not act, monsters will eat your children."
The crowd clapped and hooted enthusiastically. Suddenly, protesters were flung about from an unseen source. A tall large pale-skinned alien went through the crowds slicing and dicing people. Alex and Hank gave horrified looks as the alien created a blood bath.
Alex and Hank chased after the alien with their pistols drawn. Hank and Alex fired on the alien with their pistols but did minimal damage to it. The alien flung a car at them nearly crushing them. Hank fired on the alien as it retreated inside a parking lot.
Meanwhile, James activated his watch signally for Supergirl. What he didn't know was that Kara was already on her way. She slammed down on the pavement and chased after the alien with her super-speed. She found a woman injured and alone on the floor.
"Where did it go?" Kara asked her.
"I don't know. It was just here," the woman said freaked out.
"Like right here?" Kara wondered and then punched through the woman's midsection and out the other side. The alien suddenly morphed back and roared in pain.
"X-ray vision: It is a bitch," Kara said as she took hold of the alien's neck and snapped it.
"Do you have a visual? Is it down there?" Alex radioed.
"Yep, I got a visual, alright," Kara smirked with the alien dead at her feet.
An injured and pissed-off Sen. Crane was treated by paramedics on the scene. "Help those that are dying. I'm fine," she said waving them off.
"We need to transport you to our headquarters," Hank said to Sen. Crane. "For your own protection."
"Yeah, sure," she immediately agreed.
"What was that thing?" Alex asked.
"A creature that doesn't leave survivors. We need to move the senator quickly in case there's another one," Hank said.
"Another one?" Alex questioned.
"They're like locusts. Where's there is one there are others," Hank told her.
Sen. Crane was brought to DEO headquarters, escorted by Hank and Alex with Kara close behind. "You have royally fucked up," she remarked.
"We just killed a dangerous alien with an instant response time, so with all due respect, you can go fuck yourself," Hank told her.
"Careful. The Senate decides your funding," Sen. Crane threatened.
"I don't give a shit. Our existence is classified even to the Senate," Hank replied.
"You're all talk. You let an alien into your front door," Sen. Crane pointed out.
"You better not be referring to me," Kara said annoyed. "I saved your ass."
"For all I know, you staged that little stunt," Sen Crane shot back.
"I don't have that kind of time on my hands," Kara scoffed.
"You aliens are all the same. Disgusting insects from diseased backwater planets, looking to suck our resources dry," she said.
"I'll have you know, I'm the best border patrol agent here. I've killed or imprisoned loads of these aliens you so despise. We're on the same team, the American team," Kara reminded her.
"You're an American, huh? I want to see your birth certificate," Sen. Crane said insultingly.
"I don't have to take this crap. I'm a volunteer. You get that? I don't have to be here. I could have let you and your dumb ass supporters all get slaughtered," Kara argued.
"Enough of this," Hank said ending the argument. "We will make sure there are no others like this one on the planet. We'll keep you updated. In the meantime, I suggest you remain with us."
"Fine," Sen. Crane agreed.
"Escort the senator to her quarters," Hank ordered Alex.
Alex and Kara walked with Sen. Crane to her quarters. "You know, it's not personal. It's just a game. I want to do great things for America, but I can only do that if I am reelected," Sen. Crane said.
"I completely understand. I always justify the means with the ends," Kara said sympathetically. "Which is why I'm putting you in a prison cell."
"What the fuck?" Sen. Crane cried out as Kara rushed her into a cell and closed the door.
Sen. Crane slammed her fists on the glass cell in rage. "X-ray vision: It is a bitch," Kara said to her.
Alex stared in horror as Sen. Crane morphed into the same type of alien that had attacked the rally. "This is not the same one, right?"
"Nope, a second one, apparently," Kara said amused as the alien continued to bang on the cell wall.
"What was all that back there then?" Alex asked. "You purposefully brought an alien into our headquarters," she accused.
"Well, now, we have a prisoner we can interrogate. And I'm betting Hank would love to try out some of his enhanced interrogation techniques," Kara smiled.
"Next time, inform me before you do shit like this on your own," Alex said annoyed.
"Free me, you little shit!" the alien shouted at her.
Kara took her stereo remote and pointed it at the ceiling. "Enjoy," she said as Taylor Swift music started playing.
"Look, look what you made me do," Taylor Swift sang. The alien shrieked and screamed as Kara and Alex exited the cell.
Soon thereafter, Hank came into the cell and turned off the music. The alien roared and cursed in rage as it saw Hank. "You ready to tell us what the fuck this is?" Alex asked him.
"It's a White Martian," Hank revealed.
"Like you?" Alex wondered.
"Nothing like me. They came from below the surface taking fire from the planet's mantle and burning us all with it," Hank said.
"Oh, God, I'm so sorry," Alex said sympathetically.
"This creature belongs to a race devoted to the mission of killing my kind," Hank said. "There will be others."
"So, that's why it impersonated the senator. It hoped to get to you through the government," Kara realized.
"And you just let it in here. That was risky," Hank said peeved. "White Martians have the same ability to shape-shift and we share a link if I use my true form or if I reach out to it with my mind," Hank explained.
"It sensed me when I used my powers to investigate Maxwell Lord," Hank realized. "It attacked the rally to draw me out."
"And then I killed its ass," Kara finished.
"We don't know how many were at that rally. How quickly can you ID them?" Hank asked Kara.
"Not going to lie, it takes a few seconds to figure it out, and I have to be looking for it," Kara admitted.
Hank turned to the White Martian. "How many more are there?" he asked.
"Eat shit and die!" she spat.
Hank nodded. "Ready to use some of those enhanced interrogation techniques?" Kara asked hopefully.
"Nothing is worse than yours," Hank said and then turned the stereo back on.
"And we are never ever getting back together...," Taylor Swift sang. The White Martian tried to cover its ears and screamed in rage as the three of them left the cell.
Kara casually strolled into Cat's office with a tablet in her hand. "Your car's out front to take you to dinner with Adam. Apparently, the driver is pissed off you've made him wait an hour."
"You made him wait an hour. You're in charge of my schedule, remember?" Cat said crossly.
"Oh, yeah," Kara nodded.
"I've had exclusive interviews with the most powerful and influential people in the world," Cat said reflectively.
"Including me," Kara said proudly.
"I wouldn't call our little chat in the hills a proper interview," Cat said scornfully. "Why do I feel so anxious about this one?"
"Because you ditched him for your career and now your guilty conscience is making you rethink everything you value?" Kara figured.
"I can handle this," Cat said confidently.
"Well, try not to be a bitch like you are with everyone else you interview," Kara told her.
"Well, aren't you getting bolder," Cat glared.
"Just practicing for when you become my mother-in-law," Kara said hopefully.
Cat nearly spit out her wine.
"You know, if I could talk to my mother I'd want her to ask me if I'm happy. Even more, I would want to ask her why she didn't get her ass in the pod with me, maybe warn the planet of its own demise, and not send dozens of criminals after me," Kara said reflectively.
"You know, would she do any of that differently?" Kara added.
"I've handled Putin, Pope Francis, and Taylor Swift. I think I'll take it from here," Cat said dismissively and then noticed Kara's face.
"Did I just trigger you? What? Scared of Russian nukes or eternal damnation?" Cat asked.
"Not really," Kara said honestly.
"Is it...this," Cat said knowingly and then turned the stereo on with her remote. "Are you ready for it?" Taylor Swift sang.
"Please, make it stop," Kara closed her eyes and covered her ears in pain.
"I've finally found your weakness, Kara, and its a hell of a lot cheaper than Kryptonite. Don't fuck with me," Cat warned her and turned the stereo off.
That evening, Cat prattled on about herself with her son Adam at a five-star restaurant. "I'll never forget, I was at a party with Bill Gates, and I told him to make what is now called a smartphone. So, basically, I invented it," Cat said proudly.
"What else did you invent, Cat?" Adam asked.
"I invented you, fucker. Now, call me mom," Cat ordered.
"Oh, shit," Adam changed his tune.
"I want to know more about you or what my private investigators haven't already told me," Cat said.
"I dropped out of Cornell," Adam said lamely.
"Yeah, I already knew that," Cat said disappointedly and then prattled on about herself a bit more.
"Did you invite me to dinner to talk about yourself?" Adam asked rhetorically.
"Look, you little shit, I created a media empire that has created thousands of jobs and billions in revenue. You're a college drop out with no prospects. Obviously, you inherited failure from your father. Now, I'm willing to overlook your inadequacies and get you a job as a janitor in one of my buildings," Cat offered.
"Wow, just wow," Adam said stunned."I came here to hear you say you're sorry."
"I'm sorry I wasn't in your life and that you're a failure because of it," Cat said sincerely.
"Fuck me, right? This was not what I expected," Adam admitted.
"You expected crocodile tears and a dozen apologies said a dozen different ways," Cat mocked. "You know what, I was just about to give you over to my secretary, but I don't even think you're good enough for her."
"What the fuck?" Adam wondered if he heard correctly.
"I want grandchildren, Adam. You know that Carter is too young. I need your seed," Cat said wide-eyed.
"Okay, I'm good now. Thanks for dinner," Adam said thoroughly freaked out and left.
Cat frowned at her glass of wine. "I hate drinking alone."
"And you don't have to," Kara said taking a seat.
"How? When? Why?" Cat questioned.
"I overheard the whole thing. I noted you were being sweeter than usual but just not enough to get across the goal line," Kara said.
"Fuck you, Kara," Cat glared as she drank her glass.
Kara poured her another glass and then her own. "We can still win him over. I'll fix this."
Kara came into the office completely shit-faced and found James looking over some photos. "Hey, are you okay?" James asked concerned.
"Never better," Kara said barely able to stand. She then noticed all of Jame's pictures of the White Martian slaughtering people in graphic detail. "I think I am going to hurl," Kara said as she made use of a trash can.
"You're cleaning that up," James said annoyed.
"Shouldn't you be with Lucy, right now?" Kara asked him.
"I told her I would be coming home late," James smiled.
"Nice," Kara nodded.
"I noticed something a little odd," James said as he looked over the negatives on a photo. The computer showed a picture of the White Martian's eyes glowing white.
"So?" Kara wondered.
"Well, look at this," James said showing her a photo of Sen. Crane with glowing white eyes.
"Yeah, that's old news. I have the thing in a cell, right now," Kara said bored.
"This photo was taken an hour after the massacre," James said.
Kara narrowed her eyes as she thought really hard about this. "So, what you're saying is...," Kara said attempting to figure it out.
"There's another one out there impersonating the senator," James concluded.
"Well, ain't that a bitch," Kara said nodding her head drunkenly.
"We need to do something," James said.
"We need to get out of these clothes. It is so hot in this room," Kara said taking off her jacket and unbuttoning her blouse.
"Okay, but after this, we tell someone," James said to her.
"Oh, we're going to be at this for a while," Kara said pouncing on James.
At the DEO, a security guard came in to look after the White Martian prisoner. Instead, he found a little girl screaming and crying. "What the hell?" he wondered.
"Please, let me out," the girl pleaded.
"Yeah, sure," the guard said and opened the cell.
The girl immediately morphed into a White Martian and slaughtered the guard with her claws. She then ran amok inside the DEO killing anyone that got in her way. DEO security fired on her with no effect. She splashed some of them with acid breath. She finally made her way to the command room as Alex pursued her. Alex fired multiple times into the alien without effect. Suddenly, a white beam sliced through the alien's chest killing her.
Kara suddenly hit the floor completely wasted. "Kara, are you okay?" Alex asked fearing she had been hurt in the fight.
"Never better," Kara said. "Could you not have had an emergency while I was having fun with James?"
"Why are you with James? He's with Lucy and you're with Winn," Alex said to her.
"Oops," Kara said immaturely. "We somehow got each other mixed up."
"What's wrong with you, Kara?" Alex asked her concernedly.
"I was trying to be a good assistant to my lonely miserable boss," Kara said.
"You sure you're not talking about yourself?" Alex asked.
"Why do I feel so unfulfilled?" Kara said tearfully.
"Clean this mess up. Alex, come with me. I need to explain my whole backstory to you," Hank ordered.
Kara eyed Alex and Hank leaving. Using her X-ray vision, she could see them talking through multiple walls and hallways away from her. With her super-hearing, she could hear what they were saying. A medic came up to Kara. "Do you need help?" he asked her.
Kara got back to her feet. "I'm not the one that needs help."
Kara downed a lot of coffee, took a shower, and went to Adam's hotel finding him entering the lobby. "What are you doing here?" he asked slightly alarmed.
"It's about your mother," Kara said.
"You here to drop off the apology check?" he asked bitterly.
"That's a good one. No, but how did you know that's one of my responsibilities?" Kara wondered.
"My mother always throws money at problems, never the personal touch," he said.
"Look, your mother is distraught and it's a real buzzkill at the office," Kara said honestly.
"She did fine for twenty-five years without me," Adam continued the bitter-train.
"I know you think your mom is this heartless, narcissistic monster...," Kara began.
"Your words," Adam pointed out.
"That's good, you got a good wit there," Kara said impressed. "Deep down, she's an inspiring person. A true hero," Kara said.
"Yeah, that's bullshit," Adam rejected.
"Sometimes being a hero means making sacrifices and unfortunately for you that sacrifice was you," Kara said bluntly.
"This isn't making me feel better," Adam said. "Let me guess, you wrote the letter."
"I licked the stamp," Kara said brightly.
"If I hang out with my mom, that means I get to hang out with you more, right?. I mean, you're always with her," Adam assumed.
"I suppose," Kara said not sure where he was going with this.
"You know what, fuck this," Adam said about to leave the hotel for good.
Kara stepped in front of him. "Okay, I would prefer it if my boss was less of a bitch, so I need you to play ball."
"Sounds like a personal problem," Adam said dismissively.
Kara took off her glasses. "What do you see?"
Adam stared at her. "No fucking way!" he realized.
Kara quickly put her glasses back on. "Keep it down, alright. Either you come back with me to see your mom, or I break your legs."
"Yes, ma'am," Adam quickly agreed.
Kara, Adam, and Cat met up at a table at an expensive restaurant. "Just so you know, I'm here against my will," Adam said.
"Adam, you're going to find that eventually I always get what I want," Cat told him.
"Except at custody trials," Adam shot back.
"Oh, burn," Kara said taking a notebook out to tally up scores between them.
"You know what I regret, not having a picture that you had drawn on my fridge," Cat admitted.
Adam took out a crayon and started making a crude drawing of a family with an "X" through the mother figure. "Well, here you go," he said handing her the picture.
"It looks like crap. Motherhood truly is overrated," Cat rolled her eyes.
"Let's try to be more constructive," Kara advised them.
"I never got to tell you stories. I never got to tell you not to be afraid of the world. And I never got to tell you how amazing I think you are," Cat lied.
"Yeah, that's bullshit," Adam doubted. "You didn't want me."
"I never realized the mistake I made with you until I had Carter. With him, I was able to do all the things I couldn't with you. It was at that moment that I truly realized I had fucked up," Cat said sincerely.
"It's going to take time for things to get better between us. I'll stick around if I can have your hawt secretary," Adam said.
"Done," Cat said quickly.
"Wait...what?" Kara thought she misheard.
"No having sex with her. I don't want you repeating my mistake," Cat said bluntly.
"So, I'm a mistake now," Adam said offended.
Kara eased out of the conversation and discreetly exited the restaurant while the two continued to fight.
Kara stepped outside and received a call from James. "You're not going to believe this but I found the president's eyes glowing," James said urgently.
"Which president?" Kara wondered.
"Kara, this isn't the time to fuck around. An alien is impersonating the president," James told her.
"Well...shit," Kara realized.
Hank and Alex went into the sewers to track down a White Martian. They ended up finding the long-lost senator but Alex was captured. Hank used his telepathic link with the White Martian to communicate with her. "This ends tonight," Hank told her.
"The desert then. It reminds me of home. Come, so I can water the ground with your blood," the White Martian said.
Kara flew to Washington DC and drilled a hole through the ceiling allowing her inside the oval office. Secret Service immediately fired upon her. "Yeah, that isn't going to work," Kara said condescendingly as the bullets bounced off her.
The Secret Service attempted to get the president out of the room. "Where do you think you're going?" Kara asked as she knocked them out.
Kara took hold of the president and used her X-ray vision. "X-ray vision: It is a bitch," Kara nodded.
The president quickly morphed into a White Martian and tried to escape. Kara kept her grip on the alien as it thrashed about. "Tell me where the president is and I'll let you live," Kara said to him.
"In the sewers directly under us," he said.
Kara used her X-ray vision straight down into the sewer system and found a human alive down there. "I think he's telling the truth," Kara said to the remaining Secret Service agents.
Kara waited a few moments for verification. "It's too late. I've already sent the order to kill the Green Martian in the desert," the White Martian sneered.
"Oh really?" Kara considered.
"We got him," the Secret Service radioed in.
Kara's eyes glowed red for a killer strike. "You said you would let me live," the White Martian protested.
"I lied," Kara shrugged and blasted his head off.
Meanwhile, a squadron of fighter jets was on its way to take out J'onn. Kara took off and flew at several Mach speeds to get there in time. She used her X-ray vision on all of the pilots and found one to be a White Martian. "Shit," she realized.
Using her heat vision, she blasted the fighter out of the sky and then punched the White Martian pilot in mid-air blasting him to pieces. The other fighters immediately targeted Kara. "Stand down," their radios told them. The fighters dispersed as the real president took charge.
Hank ventured out to the spot where the White Martian had told him. "Is this what you wanted?" Whitey asked him.
"Run," Alex said even as she was tied up on the ground.
"This is between you and me," Hank told Whitey.
"Yeah, but I'm not giving up my hostage that easily," Whitey said obviously. "I'm going to cook you the same way I cook my frogs."
"Kill me then," Hank said kneeling on the ground and exposing his neck.
Whitey transformed into the White Martian and extended her claws for the kill. "Finally, the last Green Martian dies," Whitey said as she got ready to swing a killer strike.
Just as planned, Kara swooped in and punched Whitey across the field. Hank turned into J'onn and the real fight began as all three took to the air. J'onn fought Whitey evenly while Kara watched on. "You going to help him?" Alex asked.
"Nah, he's fighting for the honor of his people," Kara said as the two punched one another in the air.
J'onn managed to break Whitey's arm. She merely tore it off and to J'onn's horror quickly regenerated it. She then began to win as she aggressively clawed through J'onn's armor. J'onn began to lose strength as he was being pummeled. "Like a hero," Kara smirked.
"Help him already," Alex shouted at her.
"Oh, fine," Kara rolled her eyes. Within a split second, she got in between Whitey and the injured J'onn. She bitch-slapped Whitey to the ground stunning her.
Kara landed and blasted Whitey with frost breath. "I can live in the cold," Whitey said referring to the coldness of Mars.
"But not absolute zero," Kara smirked as she froze a leg and an arm. She then clapped her hands shock-wave blasting the frozen limbs to shards.
Whitey regenerated the limbs only for Kara to blast another set of limbs with frost breath and blast them off with a clap of her hands. Whitey screamed in rage and pain as she continued to regenerate her lost limbs. Finally, Whitey became too tired to resist.
"I didn't think you would be the type to inflict pain for pain sake," Whitey hissed. "We have much in common."
"Maybe, you're right," Kara said unconcernedly. "I'm doing this so my friend doesn't have to. You see, I can do the things that no one else can or should. I can take on all of that guilt and shame because I don't give a fuck," Kara said to her.
Whitey glared angrily at Kara and went for a final attack. "Yeah, no," Kara said firing on her with heat vision. Whitey was instantly in flames.
"It hurts, doesn't it," Kara said as Whitey was subdued by the fire. Kara fired at the surrounding grounds creating a firestorm around them.
After watching Whitey scream and crawl in the fire, Kara clapped her hands again killing the fire instantly. J'onn landed and took out a knife. "You know, I was thinking. If we just imprison her, thousands, maybe even millions of her kind might come flocking," Kara said.
"That's why I have to kill her now before she calls them," J'onn said seriously.
"Let them come. We can kill them all in a righteous crusade. You, J'onn, can be the one that ends them forever. Isn't that true revenge? Isn't that what your people would want you to do?" Kara asked.
J'onn hesitated with knife in hand. "Promise me, when the time comes, you will not hold back."
"I promise," Kara smiled at the thought of it.
Hank placed metal handcuffs on Whitey. "You're the bait now," he told her.
Back at the DEO, Hank met up with Alex and Kara. "Good work, team. Alex, perfect bait as always," Hank complimented.
"I don't agree with this plan to use her to call the others here. Many human lives could be killed in the crossfire," Alex said reasonably.
"Yeah, well, this is personal, so I don't give a shit about that," Hank said grumpily. "I lost my wife and two daughters in the fire they created. Fuck'em," Hank said.
"I see what's going on. You see the two of us as your adopted daughters," Kara realized.
"I see you as employees that can be fired at any time," Hank corrected.
"Love you, too," Alex muttered.
"Now, get back to work," Hank ordered.
The next day, Senator Crane took to the mic at a press conference. "For an extended period of time, I was impersonated by an alien. Everything I said that was bigoted towards aliens was made by that alien. Supergirl is a true American hero," she said.
"This is such bullshit," James rolled his eyes as he watched TV in the Catco office.
"I know, right, but damn it, I'll take it," Kara said. She then noticed Adam in Cat's office again.
"Kara, I'll be in my office. Escort my son out, please," Cat said politely.
"So, is it Ker-ah or Kar-a?" Adam asked curiously.
"She only calls me that because the Japanese pronunciation of killer is "Kira"," Kara explained.
"So...are you like...a killer?" Adam asked awkwardly.
"Oh yeah, every other day," Kara said seriously.
"That's so cool. You have nice hair, by the way," he complimented.
"I know," Kara agreed.
"So, I want to thank you for what you did. I'm really glad I got to see my mom," Adam said sincerely.
"Why? I don't get it," Kara said honestly.
"Well, because I've never met someone who could talk so much shit as well as she can. I was just blown away," Adam said.
"If you're a glutton for punishment, you can always hang around me," Kara suggested.
"You want to talk shit at a Korean BBQ?" Adam asked.
"Absolutely," Kara instantly agreed.
Adam smiled and awkwardly took off. Cat and Kara eyed him as he left. "This plan of yours might actually work," Cat said ambitiously.
"Of course it will, master," Kara replied.
At Kara's apartment, Alex and Kara ate ice cream while watching TV. "Good thing I can't get fat," Kara said cheerfully as she finished her ice cream.
Alex paused and shook her head. "You implying I could?"
"I didn't say any such thing," Kara replied.
"Talking shit already, huh? Well, at least I'm not throwing cars into the sea," Alex said as she watched TV.
"Wait, this is live, right?" Kara wondered.
"Oh, shit, it is," Alex realized. "Is this one of your illusion powers?"
"Err...no. My illusions can't pick up cars and throw them into the water," Kara said obviously.
"So, who the fuck is that?" Alex asked.
"A cos-player?" Kara figured.
"Kara, we have another problem on our hands: you," Alex sighed.
Author's Notes: By now, it is apparent that Blake Jenner (Adam Foster) beat up Melissa Benoist (Kara Danvers) even before this episode was made. This episode was written prior to that revelation, but I try to keep IRL drama out of these episodes and focus on the show itself. I'll let you decide who got more burns on the other: Cat vs Adam. A few changes were made to this episode to account for Kara's liberal use of X-ray vision that CW Kara either forgot to do or could not do.
