First off, thank you all for all the support for the first episode chapters I did. It mean's a lot. I'm almost done with the next Scarlet Spider chapter, and hope to have it up soon.
I've got a couple of things planned for this one. Which will also branch out to the next couple of chapters. But you'll just have to wait and see.
Also do any of you think I should start doing author appreciation notes? Cause I have read a lot of their stories, and have talked to them. I've already done it on my bio, but I feel like I should do it on my chapter notes for this story and my other ones.
I own none of the content, and I hope you all enjoy.
Luthors (1)
"The trial of Lillian Luthor continued today. Luthor, the suspected head of the anti-alien terrorist organization, Cadmus, has been charged with a host of crimes." The Newscaster said.
Kara watched with a frown, she was glad that Lillian was on trial, and would be sent to jail soon. She took satisfaction that another criminal would be put behind bars. But, she did feel a little guilty though, even though all the things Lillian had done, she was still Lena's mother.
It was a topic that Kara didn't want to talk about with her when they hung out. She knew it was a sore subject for her, and she wanted nothing to do with her. But, she was still family, and Kara felt that Lena should talk to her.
Steve walked over to her, with a beer in one hand, and said aloud," I know she's your friend's mother. But that doesn't excuse the fact that she's no better than Hydra, she deserves to get what's coming to her."
Mon-El walked past them and said," I agree Cap, that woman is bad news. I hope when she get's convicted. They put her out on the town square for public shaming. On Daxam, it really seemed to cut back on recidivism."
Both Kara and Steve walked over to the bar.
"Well that sounds interesting. But, here on Earth, we haven't done that for a very long time." Steve said.
"Oh, did they used to do it before you were put on ice?" Mon El asked.
Kara shook her head and said," No, way longer than that."
"That's too bad. So, I haven't seen you guys in a while. Too busy making out or saving lives?" Mon El asked a raised eyebrow.
The both of them blushed with Kara saying," You are worse than Alex."
Mon El grinned and said," Hey, if the others can do it, why can't I? So, you guys made it official yet? Cause after losing the bet for when you would reveal each other's feelings for each other, I've wanted to know when you both decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
Kara smiled, and looked at Steve, who had small grin and she said," Oh, yeah, we decided to finally make it official tonight!"
Steve wrapped his arm around her, kissed her head, and said," I meant what I said Danvers. You're stuck with me."
Steve was really happy, he thought he would be lost in this new world after coming out of the ice, but Kara had guided him through it, helped him, and he found himself falling for her. He was happy to call her his girlfriend. And was happy to have a family in the form of Kara and her friends and family.
He shuttered internally when he got the shovel talk from Alex. He wasn't sure who was scarier, her or Romanov. And he didn't want to know what Clark would say or do. He hasn't visited yet, and he was preparing himself for that.
"Huh, Alex was right, you guys are one of those nauseating couples." Mon El commented.
Kara narrowed her eyes and said," When did she say that?"
"Earlier when she was getting the drinks."
Steve felt a dark presence when Kara nodded, and he slightly shiver went up his spine.
"So, how are things with you Mon El? Kara said you went out with her friend Eve?" Steve said, changing the subject.
"Oh… yeah, things were ok. I guess we didn't' connect. But I think it went well regardless." He said casually, even though Kara could hear something in his voice.
"Hey, you'll find someone. There's someone out there for you." Kara said, hoping it would make him feel better.
Mon El grinned and said," Thanks Kara, that means… wow."
Kara looked confused when he stopped talking and looked at what he was looking at.
What she saw, made her smile.
A woman with red hair had walked into the room, she had a neutral look and surveying everything, and everyone. She then looked towards the bar, and smiled with a wink when she saw Kara.
"Did she wink at me? Cause I think she did." Mon El said.
The woman walked gracefully to the bar, and then found herself standing in front of Kara and Steve.
"Long time no see, Danvers. Hey Cap." Natasha Romanov greeted.
"Agent Romanov." Steve greeted with a small grin and nod.
Kara squealed slightly and hugged her, and Natasha hugged her back.
"Oh my God, Nat! What are you doing here?" Kara excitedly asked.
"Fury gave me some time off. And considering you've been begging me to come visit, I decided to finally take you up on that offer." Natasha nonchalantly said but she was grinning a little.
"That's great… so is Clint here as well?" Kara asked.
"Unfortunately no, he had to take care of some things."
Kara knew for a fact that she meant that Clint was spending time with Laura and the kids. Kara wanted to tell the others, including Alex, due to her getting along great with kids. But, she promised Clint and Natasha not to tell anyone about them. Unless Clint said it was ok, or if he told them himself.
That also reminded her she should call Laura sometime, they hadn't talked in a while. And also Bobbi, this made her realize that she didn't have her number.
"Right, well, everyone else is sitting over there. But, I would like you to meet Mon El. I told you about him, and how he's from Krypton's sister planet, Daxam. Mon El, this is Natasha Romanov, Agent of Shield and fellow Avenger." Kara said.
Kara raised a brow at the look Mon El had, it was a deer in the headlights sort of thing, but it had a different look to it.
Mon El held out his hand, and said," H-hi, my name is Mon El… it's nice to meet you. Drinks are on the house for you… not that they are on a house." He fumbled.
Kara bit back a grin that was trying to form, and she looked at Natasha, who's mouth curved upward a tiny bit. The way he was acting was adorable, and sorta familiar. She looked at Steve, and he had a look of confusion on his face.
Gosh, he's still clueless as ever. And that was one of the things she loved about him… ok, didn't know why she thought that.
Natasha shook his hand and said," Pleasure to meet you as well, and thanks. Vodka would be nice."
"Right, let me just look for it then." Mon El said and went off to look for a bottle.
"We'll be with the others." Kara said, she smirked at Natasha and said," So, you think he's cute?"
Natasha didn't seem to react to it and said," I guess."
"What just happened?" Steve asked.
This time Natasha did react, she and Kara had knowing looks and said," We'll tell you when your older Rogers. You said you were with friends?" She asked the last part to Kara.
"Oh, yeah, c'mon."
Steve would've responded to what Romanov said, but he realized what did happen. Mon El acted like he did when he had first met Kara, and also when he was around her, before they started dating.
He didn't know whether to find it amusing or slightly embarrassing.
He walked with Kara and Natasha to where everyone else was.
"Hey guys, I want you meet someone. This is Natasha Romanoff. Nat, these are J'onn J'onzz, my boss at the DEO, James Olson, you remember Winn, Maggie, and my sister Alex, she and Maggie are dating."
Natasha crossed her arms, and gave Alex a scrutinizing and neutral look and said," So you're the Alex Danvers Kara has been talking about."
Alex stood up as well, had her arms crossed as well, and held the same look as well and said," And you are the Natasha Romanoff that Kara has been talking about as well."
Alex was taller than Natasha, but Natasha held her head high, and looked taller as she stood straight. There was a few tense seconds that had the group waiting for something to happen.
Both women then grinned and shook each other's hands.
"It's an honor to finally meet you. Kara has said a lot of good things about you. And you look quite the badass, and have the beauty for it as well. I read your file and saw how you fight. I'm impressed." Alex praised.
"Same to you. Kara gives nothing but praise about you. Thanks, I know I am, and so are you. I also read your file, and seen training videos of your moves. We should swap notes, and spar sometime."
Alex smirked and said," I like the sound of that."
Everyone let out a collective breath they were all holding.
"Wow, I don't know whether to be scared, impressed, or just find it awesome." Winn said.
"I'm going for impressed, and awesome." James said.
"Well I'm going for badass, and finding it quiet hot." Maggie commented, and Alex blushed at the praise.
"So, Agent Romanoff, what brings you to National City?" J'onn asked.
Natasha took a seat, along with Kara and Steve, and said," Fury gave me some time off. This made me realize I needed an overdue visit to our resident Kryptonian, and Avenger."
Alex gave her a knowing look and said," She gave you her puppy eyes, didn't she."
Natasha gave a look to Kara, but she had a look of innocence and said," I am a well trained secret agent, who is an expert to not giving in to things, and has been known to be quite determined, strong-willed, and I'm prepared for anything. Little miss sunshine here broke through all that in a matter of seconds. I think that is another one of her superpowers."
Winn took a swig of beer and said in a mock serious tone," None can overcome Kara Danvers puppy dog eyes. Not even our resident badass here." He said and looked at Alex.
That got a laugh out of everyone, except Natasha, who merely grinned a little.
"Drinks up." Mon El said as he brought more drinks. "And also… uh, a bottle of Vodka with a couple of glasses for the lady." He said, and gave Natasha a smile.
Natasha grinned as well, and said," Thank you."
"Right, if you need anything, just let me know." He said, and walked backwards for a second.
He then accidentally walked into a table, and then started walking normally, and took a quick glance behind him.
Everyone who didn't know about the previous exchange, looked confused or shocked.
Winn pointed at Mon E's direction and said," Uh… is that what I think it is happening?"
J'onn nodded and said," I can read his mind, yes."
Alex looked at Natasha and said," He's totally crushing on you. You can't lie that he is very handsome.
Maggie gave Alex a mock glare and said," Is that supposed to mean something?"
Alex, gave her a sheepish look, shrugged and said," Well… I'm just stating a fact."
Natasha shrugged and said," Hmm, he is cute."
Kara gave her knowing grin and said," He is single, and I can help you, if you want, Nat."
Natasha kept her face neutral, but if you looked closer, she had a ghost of grin. She poured a little into her glass, took a sip and said," We'll see."
Kara was still learning Natasha's personality and the way she acted. But, she knew that she can tell that there was some interest on her part.
"Well, if you want to think about it. Then I think I have something that will help you think. Do you play Pool?" Maggie asked.
"Sometimes, although my usual opponent always wins." Natasha said.
"I'm not that person, so let's see who wins this time then. C'mon Danvers." Maggie said.
"I play too. We can be teams." Winn said.
"No you don't." James said, not convinced.
"You play?" Kara asked.
"It is Geometry with sticks, folks. Pool is easy. Let's go do it, and I'm teaming up with Romanoff." Winn proclaimed.
He got up, and walked to the Pool Tables with Alex and Maggie.
Natasha stayed behind, and whispered to Kara," I can tell he doesn't have much experience in it. Wish us luck."
Kara snorted a little at that, finding the whole thing funny.
"So, we now have three Avengers here. Is there any chance Catco can get some interviews then?" James asked.
"Well, you already have a suggestion to be one. I think that's all we can offer." Steve joked.
James chuckled and said," Hey worth a shot. Maybe Guardian can team up with them? And then join the Avengers?"
"Well, that's a possibility that could happen, we just have to wait and see." Steve said.
"Hey not to butt in or anything, but, do you guys find it awful for someone to testify against their family." Kara asked.
She was watching more the News Coverage about Lillan's trial, and it was now talking about how Lena had testified.
"Well, the Luthor's have never shied away from doing awful things." James said.
"From what I heard about them, that's true. But from what Kara has told me about Lena, she isn't like anyone else in her family. And I've seen and heard other things about her. She's trying to be someone who people think she isn't." Steve said.
"He's right. She knows Lillian is evil; she's doing the right thing, even though she still loves her mom. What she did was brave." Kara said.
"If you say so." James said.
"Take it from someone who has a past. If they put their mind to it and try to right wrongs, then they can redeem themselves, or anything associated." Natasha said behind them.
James jumped a little bit, Kara merely glanced at her with a smirk, while Steve looked a little unnerved.
James blinked at her and said," When did you?"
Natasha smirked, winked and said, "Trade secret."
Kara smiled and continued," I should go see her. She could probably use a friend."
"Don't let Stark hear that, he might have an aneurysm. Also, heads up." Natasha said.
"What do you mean?" Steve asked.
"Whoa!"
A Pool Ball shot out in front of them. They all looked to see that Winn had done it.
"Sorry." Winn apologized.
"His hold and arc was wrong." Natasha explained and walked back to the Pool Table.
James looked at her, and then at Kara and said in an uncertain tone," Uh, I'm not the only one who sorta weary or unnerved by her, right?"
"She's mysterious, I find that sorta endearing." Mon El said as he walked by.
Steve looked behind him for a second and said to James," You're not the only one."
Kara gave him a mock glare and said," And what does that mean?"
Steve her an unamused look and said," Really?"
Kara grinned, kissed his cheek and said," I know, I'm a dork. I would ask if you want to see Lena, but then we have to explain how I know you. Maybe next time?"
Steve nodded and said, "Sure thing."
Kara gave him another kiss, and left to talk to Lena. Steve stared at her with a grin and took a sip.
"You really have it bad for her, don't you." James said.
Steve nodded and said," Yeah I do. None of this makes you feel awkward right? I mean, I know you and Kara dated."
James shook his head and said," No it's alright. Kara and I knew things weren't going to work out, and ended it on good terms. I can tell you both will make it work. And you guys have my full support. And it's not just because my grandfather is a former Hollowing Commando, and the fact your the Captain America. Your a good person under the persona."
Steve gave him a grateful look and said," Thanks, that mean's a lot. I see Gabe helped raise a good grandson."
James patted on the back, and to see how the others were faring at the Pool Table. Steve thought about what James said, and felt he was right about him and Kara making it work. He didn't know what the future held, but he hoped it would be good.
The next day, Kara was at Lillian's trial with Lena. Alex and Natasha were also there. This was due to the fact Lillian was in SHIELD custody while awaiting trial. Natasha had also told them that was another reason why she was in National City. Due to Fury asking her to watch it and see if anything strange was going on.
But, Natasha had made it clear she was going to visit Kara before Fury asked her to watch the trial.
Another thing is that Alex and her had struck up a quick friendship. Which Kara knew would happen, considering they were similar in some ways. They had yet to do a sparring match, and Kara didn't know who she would root for when it did happen.
While on the romance side, Natasha had also told her that she had a couple conversation with Mon El. When Kara had asked her what they talked about, she didn't reveal too much, and said they had good time. This made Kara squeal slightly, and told Natasha she would help her in anyway she could.
Although, beforehand, she thought Natasha would've been a good match with Oliver Queen. They had similar pasts, and were trying to redeem themselves for what they or someone associated to them had done. But, the last time she interacted with Oliver, which was during the Dominator Incident, and the couple of times she called him (thank you Cisco), he seemed to have his sights on Felicity Smoak. Barry had told her they had dated, were engaged, and then broke up. But from the looks of it, they were starting to get back together. She had talked to Felicity also, she had yet to tell her about her Earth-38 counterpart, Felicity Stark, and she was the same with Oliver. Even though they looked to have drifted apart, they were starting to patch things up, and could start going out again.
But to get back on track. Now the next witness to testify was John Corben, who was also called Metallo. Even though he didn't have any Krptonite in his chest, she still felt like she was still feeling the effects of it. Good thing for her, she was sitting a couple of rows away from him.
"She didn't have to order me to do anything. I believe aliens should be wiped from the Earth. Especially after what they did in New York. Starting with Supergirl and her cousin." He said as he was on the stand.
"I hate him." Alex whispered to Kara.
"He literally has no heart." Kara agreed.
Natasha herself nodded, and placed a comforting hand on Kara's shoulder. She nodded in thanks, and Natasha continued to watch the trail.
The stuff Corben was saying was nothing new. Since New York, SHIELD and other intelligence agency's had been getting some chatter from anti-alien groups. Nothing that warranted them to go into action, but enough to keep a close eye or ear on.
But, she couldn't shake the feeling that something felt off. She prided herself in finding anything amiss when it came to a situation.
If only Clint was there with her, due to him being able to spot stuff in a heartbeat. She would also never admit it though, he would use that to his advantage and she would be forced to threaten bodily harm.
For Corben, there was something off about him. By the way his posture, facial expression, and eyes was showing or was showing if someone was't taught to scrutinize every bit of detail of something.
She couldn't tell what Lillian's was due to having her back to her.
"Keep on high alert." She whispered to Kara and Alex.
"Why?" Alex asked in apprehension.
At that time, Corben got up, and said to the Prosecutor," Allow me to treat you as hostile."
He then took a stance, and then a beam of Kryptonite shot out of his chest, and sent everyone either running, or ducking for cover.
"The one time, I didn't have a gun on me." Natasha cursed.
"Don't SHIELD Agents get a pass?" Alex asked.
Natasha shrugged and said," No one told me. Also, Kara go. I would tag along, but I have a feeling getting hit by that thing will not be good."
"I'll call M'gann for backup." Alex said.
Kara nod and ran out of the room.
She then was outside, and used a lamppost to block Lillian's and Corben's way.
"The job's not done yet, Luthor." She said.
"You're right. You're still alive." Lillian said.
"Not for long." Corben said, and shot a beam at Kara.
Kara managed to dodge it, and fired a beam in front of Lillian. Kara then took the direct approach by shooting towards Corben, but he also fired a beam at her. Kara felt the effects, but she managed to hit him, and landed hard on the ground. She got up, and stood in front of Lillian.
"You can stop me, or you can save them." Lillian smugly said.
Kara looked Corben's way, and he shot a beam at a High-Rise Crane, and the part of it started to fall off, and would fall on the civilians.
Kara glared at them, they knowing full well she would let them go to save the civilians.
"Make your choice, Supergirl." She heard Lillian say.
Kara bit back a curse, and flew up to the crane as fast as she could. She got in front of it, and from the looks of it, it would probably hit her into the building. As soon as Kara got a hold of it, she felt as if something else had stopped it. She looked around it, and smiled when she saw M'gann hovering and holding her hand out.
"Take a picture, it would last longer. Can't hold this thing forever y'know." M'gann said.
Kara rolled her eyes and said," Oh I'm sorry, do you need someone to hold your hand, and shout encouragement?"
M'gann seemed to think about it for a second and said, "If it involves saying how awesome I am, then yeah."
Kara laughed and then both lowered the part of the crane to the ground. People around them cheered for them when placed it on the ground.
M'gann waved and looked at Kara and said," Don't worry, we'll get them."
Kara nodded, and hoped so too, or else things would get out of control very soon.
Hoped you guys liked it. I've been wanting to keep Mon El relevant through all of this, due to him playing a role throughout season 3. And the idea of potentially setting him up with Natasha sounded like a good idea. Tell me what you all think.
Till next time.
