Chapter 3
Kara arrived to work a little late and unfortunately Miss Grant was already looking for her. Setting her things down at her desk, Kara ran into her boss's office and prepared for a tongue lashing.
"Kiera, where have you been?" Cat asked, narrowing her eyes.
"I was trying to get Supergirl's reaction to the bank robbery," Kara lied.
"Oh and what did she say?" Her boss wanted to know.
"It was just another day at the office, according to her," the blonde said.
"Not very quote-worthy," Cat frowned.
"I talked to Detective Sawyer afterwards and she gave me some more information to run with," Kara quickly filled in.
"Good. Are you ok?" Miss Grant's power to change tack never ceased to amaze.
"Yes, why?" The blonde was confused.
"Well it would seem that you're bleeding through your shirt," Cat pointed to her upper arm and when Kara looked down, her shirt was soaked in blood.
"That bike messenger," she frowned.
"Those guys are such a menace. Do you need a ride to the doctor?" Now it was Kara's turn to be suspicious. Usually this would have been where Miss Grant would have ordered her to get another shirt and get back to work.
"I'll manage and I'll grab a clean shirt from home. I won't be gone long," Kara smiled and then quickly walked out of the office.
"Normal day at the bank robbery, my ass. What have you gotten yourself into Supergirl?" Miss Grant frowned as she watched her protégé go. She then picked up the phone and called her source inside the police department.
"What happened?" Alex was concerned as Kara strode into DEO headquarters. She could see the blood on her sister's shirt and knew that it couldn't be good.
"Maggie didn't tell you?" The blonde was surprised.
"I just got here," Maggie said from behind her. The detective strode in seemingly carrying nothing which made Kara frown.
"Can we get you into medical and then you can explain it all to me?" Alex asked. Kara nodded and headed right into Doctor Milo's office.
"Oh that can't be good," the middle-aged man shook his head as he saw the shirt and who was wearing it. Milo was of Greek descent and he had come to the United States as a young boy where his father had urged him to go to medical school. Needless to say, his dad had never envisioned him becoming a Doctor at Star Labs and one of the trusted few who had knowledge of Kryptonian anatomy.
"I just need some sun; apparently the bullet went a little deeper than I thought," Kara explained as she started to remove her shirt, revealing her Supergirl attire underneath. As for the shirt, it was garbage now and would have to be incinerated at the DEO so no one else could get their hands on it.
"Bullet? Kara, that's not possible," her sister said before turning to her girlfriend.
"Yes it is. I couldn't sneak out an actual weapon for you to look at but I did swipe one of these," Maggie went into her jacket pocket and produced a plastic evidence bag with a bullet in it. She made sure she had stayed in the doorway, far enough away from Kara. It looked like a standard bullet so that meant that someone had managed to refine the Kryptonite down into mixing with the jacketed lead needed for bullets.
"They somehow got their hands on Kryptonite. It was a good thing that they weren't that bright," Supergirl shook her head.
"It dug in pretty deep. You aren't in pain?" Doctor Milo wanted to know as he examined the wound around the ripped fabric. Winn had used some strong material and the rip was small enough that someone would have to really be looking for it if they didn't have the blood on it.
"To be honest, a little but nothing like when that bullet whizzed by," she admitted.
"I'm guessing you need to get back to CatCo as soon as possible right?" The doctor gave her a look and indicated for her to roll up her sleeve.
"You know Miss Grant," Kara gave him a wink.
"All right well let's try my new bandage. It's something I've been working on with the techs for flexible, portable, concentrated yellow sun rays. Luckily it seems that you have stopped bleeding on your own but a little intense sun will work magic and not leave a scar," Milo smiled at her and went to the cupboards.
"What info do you have on our bank robbers?" Alex turned to Maggie; once she was sure Kara was going to be fine.
"Well I was kind of hoping you could come down to the crime lab with me and see if you can't get a look at one of their weapons. They didn't look all that different than normal nine mils. The lab techs will be at the crime scene for a little while longer but the weapons should be down at crime lab as we inventoried them first," Maggie said.
"I'll change into something more FBI like then," Alex nodded, knowing her DEO tactical gear would stand out.
"Excellent," Maggie smiled before Alex turned to look at her sister who was standing up and helping the doctor roll her sleeve back down.
"Grab one of my shirts out of my locker. I'm glad that you're going to be ok. Maggie and I will dig into this while you're at work," the redhead promised.
"I appreciate it. Good luck," she smiled at the two before they headed out of the medical lab.
"Let me know how this works. Stay safe out there today," Milo smiled.
"I certainly will try. Though Miss Grant may try to hurt me if I don't get back to the office," Kara chuckled.
"We wouldn't want that," he said as he watched her go. He went about sending her shirt down the incinerator shaft and cleaning up. Though he wasn't alone for long.
"Doctor Milo, can we borrow you for a little bit?" Winn appeared in his doorway.
"What do you guys need?" Mile turned and smiled at them.
"Help with a little something for Supergirl and Mon-El," Ricky said.
"What happened?" Milo wanted to know.
