Fort Rozz Part 2
The team was now in a jam they new nothing relevant about the Batwomen, but the Batwomen knows their biggest secrets. It was decided that they would deal with how to proceed later, and when everyone is less on edge. However Kiara had an unexpected appointment tomorrow with someone she is dying to meet. The next day Alex had arrived to have lunch with Lena. Lena was waiting there for her typical Lena to be sure. Lena stood up and hugged Alex, and they both went to sit down, and the waitress came to take their orders. After they ordered they talked, but Alex detected that Lena was hiding something from her because as much as she liked Lena she was already suspicious of Lena and her having Lunch so she wanted to rip the Band-Aid off. Alex looked directly at Lena "Lena what is going on I know we are friends, but we have never had lunch before that is a you and Kara thing so what is on your mind?" Alex looked at Lena and by the change in demeanor of the CEO Alex knew she was right there is an alternative reason other then having lunch. It took a few minutes, but Lena finally spilled " I am worried about Kara being away so long." Alex was a little taken aback not because of the statement, but the conviction, and the fear behind the statement because it sounded like Lena was not worried for a friend but for a lover. Alex took Lena's hand on the table trying to reassure the women "Lena Kara will be fine she has Imra, Psi, and Livewire their to protect her plus Kara can take care of herself." Lena then pulled her hand away from Alex "you can't say that all of us believed Kara to be unbeatable, and if the fight with Reign showed us anything is that Kara can be beaten. Alex I have never been so scared in my life seeing Kara like that it still haunts my nightmares." Alex saw the distress in Lena, and now she was certain that Lena felt something for Kara romantically, but she needed to confirm her suspicions "Lena are you in Love with my sister?" Lena looked at Kara shocked Lena had felt it yes, but never even dared speak it out loud but yes she Lena Luthor was in love with Kara Danvers aka Supergirl so she simply responded to Alex's question with "yes" Alex nodded her head at the single word, and then she asked a follow up question " then why have you not told her yet?" Lena pondered the question she has had every opportunity to tell Kara, but she hasn't yet. Lena looked back at Alex " At first it was because I was scared I knew I loved her the minute her and Clark walked into my office that day, and then seeing how are relationship changed in the coming weeks I did not want to jeopardize one of the best relationships I had in my life just because I had a crush. However as time went on my feelings for Kara grew every day, and I realized how rare a person like Kara really was, and I knew that I needed to tell her." Alex then asked, "Then why didn't you?" Lena had tears in her eyes threatening to spill "Because by that point it was to late that same day fate would deal me a cruel blow because that is the day Kara ad Mon El started dating. I could not tell Kara I loved her seeing how happy she was with Mon El That I resigned to the fact that if he made her happy that I would be happy for her even if it killed me to see him with Kara. Alex was shocked she had never seen Lena this vulnerable ever, and she had no idea all this time Lena had suffered not being able to tell Kara how she felt secretly killing herself inside with worry when Kara would go on a mission. Lena then continued, " Then when Kara almost died fighting Reign I almost died to because Kara would have died not knowing how I truly feel about her, and I would have lost the only person I have ever loved. Yah I had Jack for a time, but that would have never lasted. With Kara I can see myself with her for the long term she is my everything." Alex could not believe it Lena had just said that she was completely in love with Kara. Thinking about if she was being honest she would have preferred Kara to have dated Lena over Mon El because she thought Lena understood Kara better then most and over the past year that position has been reinforced by how close both had become. Alex also suspected that Kara has some feelings for Lena especially after Mon El disappeared they where attached at the hip so their maybe something their. So Alex decided to give this a push and see where it goes "Lena when Kara gets back you should tell Kara how you feel. Lena when Kara was in her darkest hour you where the one she turned to you where the one that she did not close out. The one who kept her from sliding into darkness? You know as much as I may like Kiara, and appreciate the help she has given us I see her as a reminder that if Kara ever fell into complete darkness that Supergirl would become someone like Overgirl and that is scary, and I thought she was heading in that direction, but it was you who kept her on the straight and narrow and I have not thanked you for that but thank you for saving my sister." Lena with tears in her eyes smiles and simply says, "For Kara I will be anything she needs me to be, and I will always be there for her." Lena and Alex continued to talk about a range of things some pertaining to Kara others not, but now it was a much less tense conversation.
As Lena and Alex continued with their lunch in downtown a different type of meeting was about to take place. Katherine Kane was in her office doing paperwork finalizing the last few minor details for her company's transition from Gotham to National City when her assistant walked into her office to inform her "Ms. Kane there is someone here asking to see you and they have no appointment should I tell them to leave or let them in?" Katherine looked up at Rachel with curiosity she had not set anything with anybody yet so this could not be business related so she asked " did this mystery person give a name Rachel?" Rachel nodded affirmatively "she says her name is Kiara Wagner." At hearing the name Katherine knew instantly who it was, and actually applauded the brevity of the person "let her in Rachel and make sure that we are not disturbed Ms. Wagner and I have important business to discuss." Rachel nodded and left the room to bring Kiara in. After a few seconds Kiara entered the office and saw the red head CEO sitting behind the desk staring intently at her and sits in the chair across from her. After a few seconds of tense silence Katherine finally speaks "So what can I help you with Ms. Wagner." Kiara glared at "lets cut the crap Katherine or should I call you Batwomen." Katherine stiffened at Kiara using her alias " So you peaked well that does not surprise me however I did not expect when Rachel told me I had a visitor I did not expect Kiara Wagner aka Overgirl the girlfriend of Diana Prince aka Diana of Themyscira aka Wonder Women." Both women look directly at each other "so why did you not tell your group of my true identity what your game?" Kiara smirked at the CEO "well if I am being honest with you I don't think we should stop you your beating up the scum of the National City underworld which is not a bad thing no matter who you look at it. That being said I think there is more to this story then you just beating up mob thugs. So if I told the team including Diana even though they may think they are getting a dangerous player of the board I think if I am right and there is more to this I want to know. So is their more to this or not?" Katherine looked at the women across from her Katherine knew that Overgirl was not like the other members of team Supergirl she was more of an anti-hero like herself so if anybody understood her it was going to Kiara Wagner. After a little internal debate Katherine decided to gamble here and see where this went "Well you are a clever one aren't you." Standing up from her chair and going to the window overlooking the city " Your right there is more to this story then your team would be willing to understand. So here it is National City is in grave danger." Kiara looked at the red head sternly then asked "From what exactly?" Katherine turned to the Kryptonian " A radical environmentalist group calling themselves the Green Hand. This organization is hardline linked with over a dozen environmental terrorist attacks around the world, and their plot here in National City is going to be the worst of them all." Kiara stood up and walked to the window standing next to Katherine "how will it be worse then the others?" Katherine turned to the side "before this attack the Green Hand was blowing up factories or refineries, the occasional raid on a corporate head quarters, but this is the first time they are using biological weapons that can kill many more people then anything they have tried. They tried it in Gotham, but Batman and his team with a little help from me stopped them. That being said this one will be worst because they have kidnapped a specialist in dangerous toxins and plants from Arkham Asylum named Poison Ivy aka Pamela Isley one of the most dangerous villains Gotham has seen." Kiara noticed that when Katherine said the name her demeanor shifted, and her voice became a little more vulnerable something she did not expect from someone who spends their nights beating the crap out of people. Katherine continued telling Kiara about the plot "A little over a month ago the Green Hand broke into Arkham Asylum and kidnapped Poison Ivy, and brought her here. I have been trying to track them down, and rescue Ivy." Kiara now noticed the shift in demeanor of the redhead went to one of anger and determination. Then a question popped into Kiara's head "did Katherine love Poison Ivy I mean when you think about the assault she waged on National City's underground being her trying to find her love. She did sympathize with Katherine thinking about her relationship with Diana it was not that long ago that Kiara was the villain of the story, and now she is an anti-hero which is essentially what Katherine is doing anything to protect your love just like she would to protect Diana. Kiara needed to confirm her theory "Katherine I need to know do you love Poison Ivy?" Katherine turned to Kiara and smiled not stunned that the alien figured it out she was not hiding it. Katherine spoke " yes Kiara I love Pamela Isley I have for the past year. I know she does not feel the same way, but you can't help whom you fall in love with right?" Kiara nodded her head affirmatively she understood, and this is why she wanted to find out about Katherine before she told the DEO. Kiara spoke again " do you have any leads on their where about or the location of Ivy?" At the question Katherine looked down " no I have been here a month and I have no leads on them." Kiara nodded she had decided a few minutes ago that she would help Katherine because if they brought this to the DEO they would arrest her on the spot regardless of the reason because of her rampage, and Kiara would not have that, but she knew she needed to tell Diana about this if any one needed to know it was her. Kiara looked to Katherine " I will help you find Ivy and stop the Green Hand, but Batwoman has to stop causing havoc in the National City underworld because as soon as supergirl comes back from her mission your going to have someone who will have a huge problem working for someone as ruthless as you. However if I help you I have to tell Diana about this." Katherine snapped "No. To many people in this creates a problem." Kiara then snaps " I may respect you, but I will not ruin my relationship with Diana the love of my life for this. Now I can tell Diana and help you or I can take you into the DEO right now it's your choice Katherine so choose." Katherine thought about it for a minute she knew that she had no chance to beat Kiara at this moment and she did need the help finding Ivy and stopping the Green Hand, and if helping allowing Kiara to tell Diana was the cost it was a necessary evil. So she looked at Kiara "Okay you can tell Diana, but only her those other idiots on your team would only make things worst." Kiara couldn't disagree with that knowing the idiots like Mon El and Jimmy so she stuck her hand out, and Katherine shuck it
Later Kiara returned to the apartment to find Diana looking over some paper work for an antique deal. Kiara goes to sit next to Diana. Kiara was nervous she did not know how Diana would react to her lying to the team about the identity of the Batwoman so she just needed to come out with it "Diana I have to tell you something important that I know your not going to be happy about." Diana looked up and upon seeing the rare display of nervousness from Kiara Diana knew that this was important so she put her reports down to give her girlfriend her full attention. Kiara saw the Diana was giving her full attention now so she went for it "I met with the Batwomen earlier today." At this Diana's eyes widened, but before Diana could respond Kiara put her hand up signaling to let her finish "I lied last night about not knowing who the Batwoman was at the club last night I used my x-ray vision to look beneath her cowl, and found that the Batwoman is in fact Katherine Kane the CEO was the women beneath the mask." Seeing Diana shock at the reveal she continued "Now I did not tell the group who it was because I had a hunch that the whole Batwoman thing here in National City had a reason that she did not just come here to start trouble, and I know how we have people on the team that would rather shoot first and ask questions later, and I needed time to prove my theory so I met with her today to see what was going on." As Kiara continued with her story Diana was a mix of shock and anger. Shock at the revelation that Kiara knows who Batwoman actually is and that she met with her, but anger that she did not tell the team last night especially after Batwoman found out their secret identities. However Diana also did understand Kiara's point of view some considering the treatment she has received from certain members of the team, and if she though their was a something behind the scenes, and wanted to investigate her hunch maybe there is a bit of Kara Danvers in Kiara after all. Deep down Diana knew that Kiara was right the team would have reacted badly if they knew Batwoman's identity, but she was still mad that Kiara kept this from her. Diana looked up to see a nervous Kiara so she decided to finally respond "I am furious that you lied about knowing Batwoman's location, and that you went to go talk with her and offered to help a vigilante. However that being said I agree with you about the team handling this badly, and I understand that why you kept it from us. I am also glad you put are relationship ahead of any plot you had with Batwoman." At hearing that Kiara looked up to see not the infamous Diana Prince glare, but the smile she has come to love. Kiara took the seat next to Diana at the table "off course I would put are relationship above any plot. Diana you are the love of my life, and I would not want to do anything to jeopardize that. The only reason id did not tell you immediately was because I needed to test my theory, but I had every intention of telling you I swear . . . " Kiara was cut of from speaking further by a kiss from Diana. The kiss was quick, and Diana pulled away looking at a stunned Kiara " stop talking I am not mad at you." Then Diana got up from her chair and started walking towards the bed room with that seductive walk she is know for, and when she got to the door way she looked back at Kiara with an equally seductive look " are you coming darling?" Diana then walked into the room and using her super speed Kiara followed her in a second later.
Later that night Batwoman was standing on top of the parkland center building. Kiara had called her and said everything is okay and that the plan was ago, and to meet her here. After about twenty minutes of waiting Batwomen heard a faint thud behind her, and turned to see Overgirl standing there but to her shock standing right next to Overgirl was Wonder Woman. Katherine turned to them " I though you stood me up." Overgirl and Diana walked towards the dark figure "I told you I would help you find Ivy, and I am a woman of my word." Kiara turned to Diana "Diana wanted to help and if I am honest I think we need her because if the team finds out about this things are going to get tough and your going to need both of us." Katherine though to her self and if she was honest Overgirl was speaking the truth if things went bad having Overgirl and Wonder Woman on her side would be a huge deterrent if team supergirl went after her. So she nodded her head in agreement. Diana then spoke up "let me be clear Miss Kane I am not a fan off lying to my friends, but if Kiara trusts in you then I will give you the benefit of doubt. However if I even think that you are not being truthful with us or putting either of us in unnecessary danger this arrangement is over and I will drag you into the DEO myself do I make myself clear?" Katherine now saw why people where intimidated by Wonder Woman being on her bad side is not someplace you want to be so she nodded her head in understanding. After the disclaimer by Diana Katherine then told Diana and Kiara everything she ad discovered so far about the plot against National City.
The next day Mon El and Brainac 5 informed the team of Kara and the teams return from Fort Rozz within the next few hours. Diana and Kiara had just left a meeting with Katherine discussing the situation. They where masking their meetings by making it seem like Katherine was looking to buy some artifacts from Diana's firm, and that Diana was the broker. The three of them had made tremendous progress in the search of the Green Hand, but they still had not located them or Poison Ivy. Diana and Kiara had still not told the rest of the team about their team up with Batwoman for obvious reasons. The team had assembled to welcome Kara and the team back at the DEO. When the ship finally landed Psi and Imra walked out first followed by Kara and an injured livewire. Quickly Alex went to Kara to check on Livewire she was alive, but in bad shape. Alex turned to Kara "what happened?" Kara looked up from Livewire to her sister "Reign was their she was not effected by the blue sun like I was, and she went to finish we off with her heat vision but Livewire to the shot. Reign also killed the priestess before we could get any more information out of her. She did however give us one useful piece of information there are two more world killers in addition to Reign." Kara's revelation shocked the room to say the least Reign was bad enough, and having no information on her or how to defeat her made her that much more dangerous. Now there are two more world killers with equal or greater strength then Reign out there waiting to be unleashed.
