Kara and Alex charged each other and met in the air. Alex swiped at Kara creating a small tear in her uniform. "Damn, this is a pain in the ass to fix," Kara muttered.
Alex fired on Kara with a green blast, which she easily dodged by shooting up into the air. "Yeah, let's see you attack me from up here."
Kara eyed two people flying in and then decided to land. Alex went after Kara with her Kryptonite sword which Kara easily dodged each time. "Non, you're an asshole for using my sister to fight me. I mean, come on," Kara said unimpressed.
"I had no choice," Non said through Alex.
Hank and Eliza landed down close to the fight. Kara kicked the sword out of Alex's hands. She then engaged Kara in physical combat. Kara took a number of punches that actually made an impact due to her Kryptonite mecha-suit. Eliza watched horrified as her two daughters battled it out. Kara took a number of combination punches from Alex and was taken to the ground.
"Alex, you can beat this. I know you can. You're not going to hurt me. You're not going to hurt Kara. We are a family. Stronger together. Alex, you are the strongest of us all. Your father always said that," Eliza said.
"Yeah, calling bullshit on that one," Kara said getting up.
"Kara, not the time," Eliza lectured. "You are Alex Danvers and nothing can change that. Come back to us, sweetie. Please, come back."
Alex turned on Eliza with mechanical fists ready. Kara raised her hand and zapped Alex with a white beam that kept her paralyzed in place. "You were toying with me?" zombie Alex wondered.
"Of course, but I wanted to show mom how awesome a fighter Alex had become," Kara said.
"I'm very impressed with you both. Now, can we end this fighting?" Eliza asked impatiently.
"Mom?" Alex wondered as she regained her senses.
Kara let her hold of Alex go once she was convinced Alex was good. Alex immediately took off her mecha-suit and embraced her mother. "I'm so sorry," Alex said.
"It's alright," Eliza assured her.
"It is?" Kara wondered.
As mother and daughter had a good cry, Kara walked over to Hank. "So, what's your plan?" he asked painfully.
"I need you to expand your mental shield to someone else," Kara said and then pointed to Superman laying unconscious in a dumpster.
"Fuck me," Hank said exhausted.
Kara, Alex, Eliza, and Hank entered the TV station. "So, Supergirl's plan is to broadcast a symbol of hope?" Hank asked incredulously.
"With a speech," Cat added.
"Also about hope," Maxwell muttered.
"This plan is bullshit," Hank said immediately.
"It's either that or we bomb the city," Cat said.
"How is this supposed to cut through Myriad and reach the people? I mean, Myriad can order the people not to look at the TV, their phones, or the computer while it's being broadcasted," Hank said obviously.
"Stop being a killjoy, Mr. government man," Cat mocked.
"Kara is the last person that should be giving anyone hope," Hank said insultingly.
"You can go fuck yourself, Hank. No one is more hopeful than I," Kara said obnoxiously.
"This equipment is a dinosaur. If I can get her speech on TV and the symbols on computers and phones, I'm even more of a genius than I thought," Maxwell said proudly.
"Don't jerk yourself off too hard, Max," Kara warned.
"We're ready," Max rolled his eyes.
"People of Metropolis. This is Supergirl, and I hope you can hear me. We have been attacked. Mothers, fathers, friends, neighbors, children, everyone, suddenly stopped by a force of evil as great as this world has ever known...," Kara began.
"Wait, even greater than me?" Kara asked Cat who was off-camera.
"Just go with it," Cat hissed.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Kara asked as she read the teleprompter. "I don't get it. This teleprompter sucks!" Kara complained.
"It's 'your attacker has'...," Cat coached.
"Attacking what? Who's attacking? You know what, we'll do it live," Kara said frustrated.
"It's best to pre-record it," Cat told her.
"We'll do it live! Fuck it!" Kara shouted.
Kara then took a few moments to compose herself. "It's been live this entire time," Maxwell told them.
"Seriously?" Kara said stunned.
"Oh, shit," Cat put her hand over her mouth.
"Well...shit," Kara muttered.
Kara regrouped with the others as the feed was cut. "So, we go with Plan B."
"Bomb the city," Maxwell asked hopefully.
"No, we get Superman to do it," Kara rolled her eyes. "Alright, Hank, I think even I am going to need help moving his fat ass."
"Always willing to help," Hank replied sarcastically.
The two took hold of Superman and brought him inside where they planted him in front of the camera. Kara then snapped her fingers in front of him to wake him up. "Lois?" he wondered.
"Not here and still a zombie," Kara told him.
"Kara? What's going on?" he asked confused.
"We need you to read a speech to give hope to the people of Metropolis, so they can regain their senses," Cat explained.
"I would be happy to help in any way I can," Superman said brightly.
"Well, just read the teleprompter and keep eye contact with the camera," Cat lectured.
"I've done this kind of work before," Superman assured her with a gentle smile.
Superman then started making the same speech with greater emotion and sincerity as the others watched memorized. "I need your help again. I need your hope. Hope, that you will remember that you can all be heroes. Hope, then when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope, that those who once may have shunned you will in a moment of crisis, come to your aid. Hope, that you will see again the faces of those you love and perhaps even those you've lost. I'm Superman, and I approve this message," Superman said smiling into the camera.
"It's working," Alex reported to Kara as cell phones started ringing.
"How about that," Kara said slightly peeved at Superman's success.
The room clapped as Superman exited the television station. "I must go back to Metropolis to assure the good people that they are safe from any kind of evil that may exist," Superman said and then flew off.
"My hero," Cat said memorized.
"Oh, fuck me, right?" Kara shook her head.
"Get some sleep, Supergirl. I'll see you back at work tomorrow," Cat said as she walked off.
Kara walked into the office and noticed Kelly's empty desk. Awkwardly avoiding it, Kara met up with James and Winn. "The things we said to you...," Winn began.
"Basically, we're sorry," James finished for him.
"We all say dumb stuff when we're high," Kara excused.
"Oh, and thanks for saving our lives," Winn said gratefully.
"Yeah," James agreed.
"Well, two-out-three ain't bad," Kara winced.
"Nobody could have saved all three of us. Not even Clark," James told her.
"Not...even...Clark," Kara repeated slowly and sighed, her mood ruined.
"You want to continue where we left off before the wave hit?" James asked.
"Where we left off?" Kara wondered putting a pen in her mouth.
"Oh, I get it," Winn said walking off.
"He's so whipped," James smiled.
Yeah, he is. Let's go," Kara smiled.
"The morning meeting was sixteen seconds ago," Cat said storming in.
"Damn...it," Kara said frustrated as she followed Cat inside.
"You people were more punctual when you were drones," Cat raged.
Lucy looked around as DEO employees cleaned up the mess Kara had left behind. She stared at a bloody mess on the lock doors. "Really?" she sighed.
Hank was on a medical table healing from his wounds. Gen. Lane then entered the facility with his army guys. "I'm glad you're here," Lucy said giving her father a hug.
"Funny you should say that. I'm taking over," Gen. Lane told her. "Cuff the Martian."
While the green alien that looked like a black man was being arrested, the white-blond alien marched around like she owned the place. "So, when are you going to rescue your father?" Eliza asked impatiently.
"Hopefully, before Father's Day," Kara joked.
"Once we're done with Non and Indigo trying to take over the world," Alex assured her.
"I bet General Lane knows where it is. He seems to know a lot of things," Kara suggested.
"He'll never talk," Alex shook her head.
"Oh really?" Kara wondered.
"What a nice family reunion," Maxwell smiled interrupting.
"Shouldn't you be at your company dealing with your shell-shocked employees?" Alex asked.
"Please, I never gave a shit about them before. Why should I now?" Maxwell said dismissively. "That's what shrinks on retainers are for."
"Then why are you here?" Alex asked impatiently.
"It isn't over yet," Maxwell said grimly.
Maxwell took the stage as he explained the situation again to the DEO. "The Kryptonians used Myriad for mind control because the frequency penetrates neural tissue. Now, they're increasing the frequency, exponentially. Once the wave reaches its full potential, the electromagnetic energy will create enough pressure to...," Maxwell said.
"Kill every human on the planet," a bored Kara finished for him.
"I don't know. That sounds like sci-fi bullshit, right there, Max," Alex doubted.
"It's real," Maxwell insisted.
"How long do we have?" Alex asked.
"Four hours," Maxwell replied.
"You think you could find the source, so we can shut it down?" Lucy asked.
"Maybe," Maxwell shrugged.
"Wow, you are all so fucked," Kara chuckled. "Not me, of course."
"Finding them will be the easy part," Maxwell said to Kara as Lucy and Alex left the room to go to the armory.
"Oh really?" Kara said rolling her eyes.
"Defeating them with only you, that's our problem," Maxwell said somberly.
"I would think you would realize by now: I cannot be defeated," Kara told him.
"I'm worried because you have no backup," Maxwell said.
"At this point, any backup I may have could be killed by friendly fire. You still have no idea what I am capable of. I orbited close to the sun for thirty years. Thirty years of heavy radiation without a magnetic field or atmosphere to break it up, and my cells absorbed all of that like a sponge. I absorbed more solar radiation in a day than my cousin has absorbed in his entire life. You do the math, Max," Kara explained.
"That's a bullshit power level. There must be a limit to what your cells can absorb or the law of diminishing returns," Max said as he tried to figure it out.
"Well, I've never had to use my full power. If you should fear anything, Max, it's not Non and Indigo. It's me," Kara told him. "So, don't stop trying to fuck with me, Max. You're in real danger of boring me," Kara told him.
Kara walked into Catco while Max worked to nail down the source. "Want Twizzlers?" Winn asked her.
"Absolutely," Kara said brightly taking one. "Hey, Winn, I know I don't say this enough, or at all really, but thank you," Kara said sincerely.
"Oh my God, we're all going to die," Winn realized.
"You've been such a great friend," Kara added.
"How much time do we all have?" Winn asked freaked out.
Kara counted on her fingers. "Maybe, three hours."
"Kara!" Cat shouted for her.
"Yes, Ms. Grant. Get me one of those healthy smoothies. I feel like my head is about to explode," Cat complained.
"Just an FYI, it is," Kara told her.
"What?" Cat asked confused.
"The Kryptonians are using Myriad to kill every human on the planet. We all have about three hours left," Kara said nonchalantly.
"Why aren't you doing anything about it? Waiting until the last minute as always?" Cat asked annoyed.
"I don't know where the source actually is. I have the DEO and Maxwell looking into it," Kara said.
"Why not fly around until you find it?" Cat asked.
"It's cloaked," Kara said simply. "So, how about you give everyone the day off to be with their families before the end."
Cat stared at Kara realizing she was serious. "Yes, that would be the kind and compassionate thing to do. This better not be a joke."
"No joke, we really are fucked," Kara said seriously.
"Tell the troops they can go home. You will stay here to write my obituary. It better be tasteful," Cat ordered.
"Absolutely," Kara smiled.
Kara entered Jame's office. "Myriad is going to kill every human on the planet in three hours. Just wanted you to know."
"Damn. Nothing we can do?" James asked.
"I need to know where the source is coming from. Then, I can open a can of whoop-ass on them. But if they don't find the source, this is the end," Kara said.
"Will it be painful, the end, I mean?" James asked.
"Yes," Kara said honestly.
"Thanks for telling me," James said as he put his work away.
"Is there anything I can do for you before it happens?" Kara asked.
"I just want you," James said giving her a passionate kiss.
An hour later, Kara came back to the DEO. "You in shackles always gives me a chuckle," Kara said to Hank.
"Fuck you, Kara," Hank said disgruntled. "I'm worried about you."
"You shouldn't. I'm the only one that will survive this, Kara said.
"That's why. You will be alone without anyone. The dead need not worry about anything," Hank said.
"Max Lord says he's close to locating the source of the Myriad wave," Kara assured him.
"Bullshit," Hank smiled.
"When he finds the source, I am going to kill them all once and for all. No more games," Kara promised.
"Glad to hear it," Hank said bitterly.
"And I am going to take credit for all of it," Kara said wide-eyed.
"Okay, fuck this," Hank said phasing through the cuffs.
"It's possible you could die," Kara told him.
"If we die together, I'm okay with that," Hank told her.
Kara entered the command center. "What do you got for me?" she asked impatiently.
"Found'em. Thanks to this little pretty thing," Max pointed out the small orb.
"An Omegahedron," Kara realized. "We used these as energy sources on Kryptonian. Just one of them can power an entire city."
"Can it be weaponized?" Gen. Lane asked.
"Fuck yeah!" Kara said liking where his head was at.
"This one is powering the Myriad wave and its energy is building by the second," Max said.
"Where are the Kryptonians hiding?" Alex asked.
"It's in Nevada," Max pointed to the map.
"What's in Nevada?" Lucy asked.
"Hookers and blow, am I right?" Max said to Kara. They gave each other knowing fist bumps.
"It's Fort Rozz," Gen. Lane revealed.
Kara took hold of Gen. Lane by his collar and lifted him up. DEO agents immediately took out their pistols. "So, you just left it there?"
"You try moving a one million ton spacecraft," Gen. Lane excused.
"Too easy. Even my lame-ass cousin could lift that. So, you left it there, cloaked it so even I couldn't see where it was, and forgot about it?" Kara said angrily.
"They've been hiding there this entire time," Alex realized.
"I'm tired of your shit, general. If I wanted to, I could burn this entire planet. I could turn your entire bloated military into pieces of scrap metal. You could fire every nuke you have on me and it wouldn't even give me a tan. I have always stood for American power and pride. From now on, you will incorporate me into everything," Kara told him.
"Okay," Gen. Lane said lamely.
Kara let Gen. Lane go. "I'm going to go there and finish this."
"Not alone. I'm coming with you," Hank said.
"Be careful," Alex said to them both.
"Just watch the satellite feed. This is going to be good," Kara smirked. "Keep this safe for me," Kara said giving her Kryptonian necklace to Alex.
"Oh, Kara," Alex said sadly.
"Don't worry about me. I just don't want to have it incinerated," Kara assured her.
"You didn't say goodbye to your sister," Hank noted as they left.
"Believe me, they're the ones that committed suicide when they challenged me," Kara told him.
Kara and J'onn arrived at Fort Rozz. Kara cracked her neck and her knuckles ready for a fight. "Honestly, we could have saved a lot of time by kicking this thing into space," Kara said knowingly.
Non and Indigo landed near them ready for battle. "Where is your army?" Kara asked.
A flood of alien criminals landed near Non and Indigo, some of which were Kryptonians. "You had to ask?" J'onn shook his head.
"Alright, J'onn, you take the five hundred on the left, and I'll take the five hundred on the right," Kara smirked.
"I really hate you, right now," J'onn grimaced as he looked over the crowd of aliens with claws, jaws, tentacles, and tails.
"So, where did you put that Omegahedron?" Kara asked curiously.
"It's right here. Take it," Non said throwing it at her feet. "Smash it into little bits. You still won't stop us. It's just a means to an end. Its power comes from her," Non pointed out the ship.
"Can't smash that to little bits," Indigo doubted.
"Oh really?" Kara smirked. "I'm going to ask you one last time to stop doing this before I kill all of you," Kara said to Non.
"I will save this planet with human extinction. If you gave a shit about this world you would join us," Non said angrily.
"That's the thing: We super-powered people are too dangerous for this world. We can easily be corrupted to believe strange ideas or take matters into our hands. If we become heroes, we make this world complacent and then they worship us as gods never taking the initiative to fix themselves. If we rule over them, we will inevitably be tyrants. Democracy only works when we are all equally weak and helpless in need of each other's love and support," Kara said to him.
"You would have us live quietly as reporters and secretaries?" Non scoffed.
"That's right," Kara agreed. "Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I try to show schemers, before their deaths anyway, how pathetic their schemes truly are. So, when I kill you and your little robo girlfriend, know that it isn't personal. It's your schemes that have killed your wife and my aunt and brought you here to me. I took your plan and turned it on itself."
"You overestimate yourself!" Non shouted at her and punched her across the desert into a rock formation.
"Kara!" J'onn shouted after her.
"You need not go extinct, Martian. I am sure we can find a female version of you," Indigo smiled.
The rock formation suddenly exploded as Kara casually walked through the flying rock. Kara fired her heat vision at Indigo blasting her to the ground. Her micro-machines quickly repaired the hole in her chest. J'onn turned ghost as the Kryptonians fired their heat vision through him. The alien army went after him trying to punch or grab him. J'onn went ghost to avoid their attacks and then became solid as he punched them.
Kara watched amused as J'onn started kicking some serious ass with his ghost powers. J'onn finally appeared at her side hurt and exhausted. "You did well. I'll take over things from here," Kara said.
"You can't fight them all on your own," J'onn said to her.
"Watch me," Kara said and flew over to the crowd.
"I'll take her myself," Non said to the crowd. Kara motioned for him to come to her. Non flew at Kara at super-speed; their fists hit at the same time creating a shock wave. Kara and Non took to the air creating sonic booms. Non punched at Kara furiously and gave her a Falcon Punch to the gut. Non wrapped up a stunned Kara and slammed her down to the ground creating a crater.
Non kept up his attacks blasting her with heat vision. Kara tried to block the beam but was lifted off the ground. She was forced back into a rock formation where her body was imprinted into the rock. Non then leaped up and punched her hard to the chest destroying the rock formation with the sheer force of his punch. Non didn't wait for Kara to breathe. He froze her feet to the ground with his frost breath and began pummeling her with punches to the face and chest.
Non stopped his punches exhausted and looked over Kara. She flicked some blood from her lip. "Wow, Non. I actually felt that," she teased.
Non gave her a horrified look. "It's not possible!" he said furiously and blasted her with a wind tornado from his mouth.
Kara stayed planted as the wind went through her hair. "What is this supposed to accomplish?"
Non fired his heat vision into the wind creating a fire tornado. The fire tornado completely consumed Kara inside. Non kept it up for as long as he could until Kara walked through the flames and punched Non to the ground. Non quickly got up but was punched hard to the gut. He dropped devastated by the blow.
"Attack her!" Non shouted to his men.
"You see, that's real leadership, Non. Always ask for help when things get tough," Kara said condescendingly.
The alien army rushed Kara snarling and with claws out. "You might want to cover your ears for this one," Kara warned Non.
With her hands, she clapped them hard creating a shock-wave that sent the army to their knees all at once. Non fell to the ground unable to move from the force of it. Kara then casually walked towards the army firing heat vision through dozens of them, freezing others with frost breath, and blasting others apart with her punches.
"We're short on time," J'onn reminded Kara.
"Oh, right," Kara realized. She looked over the broken army. "I call this Supergirl Prime. Enjoy," Kara said as she powered up from her reserves. Kara gave a powerful unbroken scream as she tensed up her body. The wind picked up and rock formations around her started to crumble. The ground swayed away from her feet as if it were water. Her suit and skin became yellowish as she shined as bright as the sun. The army instantly became blind from the intense light.
Kara continued to power up until the entire army was engulfed in her light. Indigo leaped at Kara in a desperate attempt to stop her. Kara extended her right arm and cut her cleanly in half at the waist. The alien army tried to retreat as those closest to Kara began to burn away. Kara looked up as she let loose becoming pure white. The air around her became so hot and energetic that it became white plasma.
Within an instant, the army was incinerated as if a hydrogen bomb had gone off. Non still remained blinded by the intense light. Kara sped to his position. "I never had a chance. We never had a chance," Non realized.
"No," Kara confirmed.
"Don't let our race die out. Don't let our traditions die," Non pleaded.
"Join me, Non," Kara reached out to him.
"I was born a warrior. I cannot live in peace. Let me go to my wife," Non said to her.
Kara wiped away a tear that quickly evaporated in her bright aura. She walked over to Non and embraced him. "Go to her," Kara whispered to him.
Non then disintegrated in her embrace leaving nothing behind. Kara then powered down to her normal form. Looking around, the vegetation had been vaporized. The ground had been turned to red-hot glass. She saw J'onn in the distance slightly red from the intense heat.
"Alright, so, let's stop Myriad," Kara said to J'onn.
"You can't, fools. I already locked the system. The engines won't fire," Indigo said to them.
Kara stared at the scorched-black Indigo that was working overtime to stay alive. "You may have incredible power, but you won't save your precious humans. All you can do is watch as they die," Indigo spat.
"But between Mars and Krypton, I guess that's old hat for you two," Indigo smiled.
"Wow, that's the closest thing to damage you've done all day," Kara smiled. Kara fired her heat vision into Indigo's head blasting a hole through her. "Instead of three dots, I only see one."
"She's right. How do we stop Myriad?" J'onn asked.
"Please, I could lift a continent, made of Kryptonite, into space if I wanted to," Kara rolled her eyes.
"That sounds ridiculous," J'onn doubted.
"Watch and learn," Kara smirked as she went over to the ship. Lifting it off the ground, she took it high into the atmosphere and into space. Kara then gave the ship a good kick and saw the ship head towards the sun. Kara then enjoyed the sunlight in the calm of space.
"This is heaven," she said as she rested in space.
"Kara! I'm coming to get you," Alex said interrupting her peace.
"That's not really necessary," Kara said annoyed.
"Once you're in space, there's no atmosphere. There's no gravity. You wouldn't be able to generate thrust, you wouldn't be able to breathe, you wouldn't be able to get back," Alex said panicked.
"You don't say?" Kara wondered as she continued to float in space. "There is no other way," Kara said playing along. "When you find Jeremiah, tell him I always wore the glasses."
"What the fuck?" Alex said confused.
"Promise me...you'll get some actual crullers for the two of us," Kara said becoming emotional.
"I will...wait, you're fucking with me, aren't you?" Alex realized.
"Supergirl's fine. She can live in space," Hank radioed in.
"Buzzkill," Kara said to Hank.
"How can you even talk to us if you're in space?" Alex questioned.
"My power is that I have lots of powers," Kara reminded her.
"Just get down here," Alex said peeved.
"Oh, no. I'm out of power. I need you to...," Kara said and then cut out.
"Oh shit!" Alex realized and looked over at Kara's pod.
Kara waited patiently for Alex to come by in her Kryptonian pod. To Alex's surprise, Kara smiled at her and held onto her pod. Kara then pointed out individual stars and landmarks on the Earth.
"I thought you were dying," Alex said outraged.
"Just enjoy the view," Kara smiled as she coasted Alex's pod across the Earth.
"This is amazing. I never thought I would ever do this," Alex said overwhelmed.
"This is just the beginning," Kara said to her.
Washington DC
President Obama and his staff entered the oval office only to find Supergirl in the presidential chair with her boots on the desk. "Let's have a chat or you could bring in your Secret Service and see where that takes you," Kara said confidently.
"Alright, everyone out," Obama ordered his staff.
Kara got out of the chair and approached Obama. "I took the liberty of frying the bugs in this office. It's just you and me now."
"In that case, you have my eternal gratitude for killing that White Martian impersonating me and for saving the planet countless times," Obama smiled.
"How come you never said this over the phone?" Kara asked surprised.
"My sources tell me you wouldn't give a shit if I did," Obama replied.
"You're not mad I tried to create a one-world government and joined your political opponents?" Kara asked.
"Nah, we all do dumb things when we're high," Obama said knowingly.
"I need you to pardon my friend and allow him to run the DEO," Kara said seriously.
"Of course. I've pardoned worse offenders," Obama smiled. "Let me ask you something: I don't know who my successor will be. Will you serve the next president to uphold the constitution and safeguard our freedom?" Obama asked.
"Sure," Kara said nonchalantly.
"While I'm still president, I still need you to go out there and kill mother-fuckers. Can you do that for me?" Obama asked.
"With pleasure...with pleasure," Kara agreed.
"Let me give you a tour of the place," Obama said opening the door for her. The two took a stroll through the White House.
"Maybe...an alien will one day be president," Obama mused.
"Well, if a Kenyan can do it, why not?" Kara joked.
Obama chuckled at that. "Fuck you, Kara."
Obama then opened the last door to the White House front lawn. In front of her were thousands of people wanting to see her. "Nice crowd you got there," Kara said to Obama.
"They are here for you," Obama said.
Kara looked over the large cheering crowd. "Give them a good show," Obama smiled letting her go. Kara wiped away a tear as she felt overwhelmed in emotion. Rising into the air, she could see the entire crowd that had come to see her. In the night, she could see thousands of flashes from cameras.
Kara reached a safe altitude and then closed her eyes in concentration. Her body turned white and glowed brighter than a full moon. The crowd stared in amazement as Kara became as bright as the sun lighting up the night as if it were day. Kara then released her energy in a powerful explosion that appeared as a brilliant flash in the sky. The crowd cheered as she circled around DC and then broke the sound barrier.
Kara came to work in a chipper mood eating a pizza at her desk. She then got a text message from Clark Kent. "My hero," he texted. "We could use you in the League."
"You can tell your friends that they can all fuck themselves," Kara texted back. Cat suddenly dropped a box on Kara's desk.
"So, you're finally firing me," Kara realized.
"Put you meager possessions in it and clean out your desk," Cat ordered.
"Can it wait until I'm done eating?" Kara asked.
"No, it can't," Cat said putting her stuff in the box.
"Yeah, feel free to pack everything," Kara said resting easy in her chair.
Cat took her stuff away and walked a few feet away before turning back. "For once, can you give a shit?" Cat asked her.
"I tried that once. I didn't work out well," Kara reminded her.
"Just come with me," Cat insisted.
Kara strolled to an unknown corner of the Catco office and opened a door. Inside was a recently renovated office room. "So, what is this?" Kara asked.
"It's your new office, dummy," Cat said dropping the box on the desk. "Consider this a promotion."
"An office away from everyone else without a window. I'd rather be in prison," Kara remarked.
"Don't you understand? Here, you can Facebook, watch Youtube videos, play games, and even have sex with your co-workers in perfect privacy. This phone doesn't even work, yet," Cat said to her.
"I'm still getting paid, right?" Kara asked confused.
"Of course. You've generated millions for my company," Cat said gratefully. "Of course, I need you to train your replacement."
"I will teach her all I know," Kara promised.
"That should take five minutes," Cat smiled.
"So, can I get a raise?" Kara asked hopefully.
"Don't push it," Cat said darkly. "If you generate more revenue for me, a window could be in your future."
"No worries, I'll put a big plasma screen TV that simulates a window, right here," Kara rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to miss your smart mouth," Cat said sadly and left Kara to her office.
Kara rested in her easy chair listening to metal as Alex, Hank, Eliza, Winn, and James put the table together for dinner. "Hey, Kara, can I talk to you for a moment," James said to her.
Kara's eyes shot open. "What's this about?" she asked as she went around the corner with James.
"I've taken a lot of photographs of you, and I think this one is special," James said handing her a covered portrait.
"Is it my nude?" Kara wondered hopefully.
"No, no, I'm not giving that one up," James smiled. "But this is the next best thing."
Kara opened the portrait and saw Supergirl on top of a pile of beaten Justice League members. "I took it when you were in New York City," James said.
"Oh, it's beautiful," Kara wiped away a tear. "Thank you." James and Kara then passionately kissed.
"Do the trick with the champagne bottle," Winn called over.
"Oh, God damn it," Kara said annoyed as she broke with James. Kara took the champagne bottle and forced it to pop. "Wasn't that fun?" Kara asked sarcastically.
The crowd clapped condescendingly. Everyone took a glass. "Alright...who wants to compete with me in a drinking game?" Kara asked them all.
They all agreed, clinking their glasses together. It wasn't long before they were all drunk as fuck. "Wow, I never knew this could be so much fun," Eliza said nearly falling over.
"I don't know where I am, right now!" Winn shouted.
Kara and James kept their cool as they looked out the window. Suddenly, a spaceship streaked through the air and landed outside the city limits. "You going to look into that?" James asked as he finished his drink.
"Nah, fuck it," Kara smiled and finished her glass. "Want another?" Kara challenged James.
"Always," James replied.
End of Season 1
Author's Notes: In Superman II, the criminal Kryptonians use a white beam that paralyzes victims. In the comics, Superman can use a "solar flare" to create a powerful energy field around him. Kara incorporates these powers for herself. In the movies and animations, Superman can fly and survive in space contradicting CW Supergirl. This is Maxwell Lord's last episode, but I will give him closure before the beginning of Season 2.
