This Supergirl chapter, I'm afraid, will have no Supergirl. It's just Kara Danvers for the moment.
Leave a review after reading, please.
Kara was currently in English class, jotting down some notes about 18th Century Literature. After the teacher was finished discussing, he told his students to borrow a book from a library relating to 18th Century Literature, read it, and share it with the class on Friday. After the bell rang, Kara decided to go to the court.
She saw a rack of basketballs and moved it to the three-point line on the right corner. Before she could take her first shot, she heard the door open. It was her sister, Alex.
"Hey," she greeted.
"I thought I told you I needed my space," said Kara, still upset with her sister.
Kara takes her first shot, but misses.
"I just wanted to tell you, Hank is offering you a job at the D.E.O.," said Alex. "He figured that if you won't stop, he might as well keep an eye on you."
"And what did you say about this?" asked Kara.
"I told him you'd probably refuse the offer," said Alex.
"Well, you're right," said Kara, taking another shot. The ball takes a high bounce off the rim before dropping. "Be sure to let Hank know."
"Kara, how long are we gonna keep this up?" asked Alex. "We're sisters. We shouldn't avoid each other."
Kara ignored Alex and just kept on shooting.
"You, uh, planning on joining the women's basketball team?" asked Alex.
"No," said Kara. "I just need to take my mind off some things."
"Like me," guessed Alex.
"Besides, considering I have super strength and I'm practically indestructible, I'd be cheating," said Kara.
Kara finished shooting all the balls from the rack. She made nine out of sixteen.
"Nice form."
Kara and Alex turn around to see a tall, lean teenage boy standing by the door.
"Uh, how long have you been standing there?" asked Alex.
"Long enough to see her sink the last three shots," answered the boy.
This relieved Alex, meaning he didn't hear them talking about Kara's powers.
"I'm Adam. Adam Foster," said the boy.
"Alex Danvers," said Alex. "This is my sister..."
"Kara Danvers, I know," interrupted Adam. "She works for my mom."
"Cat Grant is your mom?" asked Kara.
"Yes. Foster was my father's name," answered Adam.
"What brings you here?" asked Alex.
"Well, I'm trying out for the basketball team. I thought I could come here and shoot some hoops," said Adam.
"Then you can stay here and practice with Kara. She loves basketball," said Alex.
"Alex," scolded Kara.
"I'll leave you two alone," said Alex.
Alex left the court.
"This should be interesting," muttered Alex with a smirk.
During lunch time, Kara was eating by herself on the roof, trying to stay away from Alex. She looked at the flock of birds flying in the sky. If it wasn't school hours already, she'd be taking off and enjoying the wind in her face. Her attention turned to the ground when she saw Mick Rory and the Snart twins dragging Barry Allen to the dumpster.
"What's the matter, Allen? Not feeling like punching Mick this time?" mocked Leonard.
Mick held Barry against the wall next to the dumpster.
"What do you want?" asked Barry.
"This is personal," said Mick. "You broke my nose. Now, I break yours."
Mick started punching Barry in the face repeatedly. Leonard and Lisa smiled as they watched.
"Hey!"
Everyone turns around and saw Kara Danvers.
"Let him go," demanded Kara.
"Beat it, Danvers. We're busy," scoffed Leonard.
Kara grabs Leonard by the shoulder and slams him to the ground. Lisa throws a punch, but Kara catches her fist. She then twists Lisa's arm and throws her down.
"Alright, Rory, you've got one chance," warned Kara.
"I ain't afraid of no girl," said Mick.
"That's not very nice," said Barry.
"Shut up!" yelled Mick, punching Barry in the face again.
Kara pulled Mick away from Barry and slammed his face to the wall, knocking him out.
Kara looks at Barry. He was sitting down next to the wall, disoriented by all the punching. She helps him up.
"All that punching and you're not even out cold?" questioned Kara.
"That's a, uh, long story," said Barry. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it," said Kara. "Kara Danvers."
"Barry Allen," replied the boy. "Nice moves out there. Where did you learn to fight?"
"I didn't. I just did what I thought would help," said Kara.
"I think you're amazing," said Barry.
"Bet you kill the girls with that kind of sweet talk," laughed Kara.
"I'm not really good in that department," said Barry.
Barry and Kara stared at each other. There was something about their recent words that sound familiar.
"It worked for me."
Kara turns around and saw Linda Park approach Barry.
"Are you okay?" Linda asked Barry.
"I'm okay," said Barry. He looks at Kara and says, "Thanks to her."
"Linda Park," said Linda to Kara.
"And you're his... girlfriend?" asked Kara.
"That depends on the second date," said Linda.
Linda helps Barry to the clinic, while Kara stood by. There was something about Barry that had her suspicious.
After the school day was over, Kara headed to CatCo. She immediately walked to Cat's office with a cup of coffee in hand.
"Sometimes, I wish I can just pull you out of school completely. You're very dedicated," said Cat.
"Well, don't worry. After college, I can work for you full-time," said Kara. "So, you said you needed me to do something?"
"You want to be a reporter, right?" asked Cat.
"Just like my cousin, Clark, yes," said Kara.
"Well, then you can start with Maxwell Lord," said Cat. "He's starting a new energy project and I need details."
"Maxwell Lord is, like, the biggest name in city, aside from the Queens," said Kara. "I don't think he wants to waste his time with a teenager."
"I already called him, and he said he'll do it, provided you come alone," said Cat.
"But what am I supposed to ask him?" asked Kara.
"I figured you'd say that so I made a list," said Cat, giving Kara said list. "But if you want to be a real reporter, you'll have to go off script when necessary. You can't be too gentle with anyone, even with the so-called 'favorite child of Silverstone City'."
"Are you sure this isn't jealousy I hear, Ms. Grant?" teased Kara.
"Mind your tone, child," warned Cat.
"Sorry," apologized Kara, adjusting her glasses. "Have you and Max actually met before?"
"Yes, we have. At his birthday last month," answered Cat.
"Anything... 'interesting'... happened?" asked Kara.
"He asked to me dance and I accepted," answered Cat. "If you're trying to get dirt out of me, Keira, then you're well on your way to becoming a good reporter. Just point that tone at someone else other than me."
"Noted," replied a nervous Kara.
Later that day, Kara arrived at Lord Technologies. After getting past security, she arrived at the top floor, where Max's office is. Using her x-ray vision, she can see Moira Queen and her son, Oliver Queen, talking with Maxwell. Using her super hearing, she listens in.
"... tell Malcolm that I'm not interested," said Maxwell.
"Interested in what?" asked Oliver.
"It's private business, Oliver," said Moira. Turning back to Maxwell, she says, "But we can still cooperate on the energy project?"
"You betcha," replied Maxwell. "When do you want this released on the news?"
"When, for some reason, a reporter happens to be standing outside the door," joked Moira.
Maxwell chuckled. "That's why I like you Moira. That dry sense of humor."
"We're done here," said Moria.
"That's it?" asked Oliver. "We've only been here for ten minutes. I expected longer."
"Length of meetings depend on the topic being discussed," said Moira.
The Queens walked out the door to see a young blonde standing outside.
"Hello," greeted Moira.
"You must be Kara Danvers," said Maxwell. "Cat Grant told me a blonde with glasses was coming over."
"That's me," confirmed Kara. Looking at the teenage boy, she says, "You're Oliver Queen from school, aren't you?"
"The one and only," replied Oliver.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kara.
"Well, my mother wants me to take over Queen Consolidated when I grow up, and figured I should be treated to what it's like being a businessman, such as attending private meetings," said Oliver.
"You don't strike me as the CEO type," said Kara.
"That doesn't sound very nice," said Moira.
"No, mom. I get it," said Oliver.
The Queens head for the lobby, while Kara was welcomed inside the office.
"Cat never told me about a teenage assistant," said Maxwell.
"Intern, actually," said Kara. "But I want to be reporter, so..."
"And she thinks an interview with someone of my status is a good start?" questioned Maxwell.
"That's what I said," said Kara.
"Please, sit down," said Max.
Kara sits down.
"So, what does the great Cat Grant want from me?" asked Maxwell.
"Details on your so-called 'Operation: Green Leaf'," answered Kara.
"Typical Cat Grant. Always going after the big stuff," said Maxwell. "I admire that about her."
Kara raised an eyebrow, suspicious. She clears her throat as she started. "Is Lord Tech partnering with Queen Consolidated on the energy project?"
You've seen Kara Danvers interact with Barry Allen and Oliver Queen. What do you think?
