In the previous chapter, we focused on Captain Canary and a couple more rogues. For this chapter, we will be focusing on the supporting characters of Supergirl, such as James, Winn, Lena, and Maxwell.

Leave a review after reading, please. Feedback is always appreciated.

Special thanks to Chevalier Lecteur, NeoTyson, Aragorn II Elessar, CaptainCanary Fan, and Guest reader for the most recent reviews.

To CaptainCanary Fan: I agree. Sara and Leonard do make quite the pair. And yeah, I too am sad that Lisa is no longer around. I guess since the actress is now in "Gotham" and Wentworth Miller (Leonard's actor) is leaving, I guess it was time for the Snarts' run in the Arrowverse to end. So sad, though. I love the Snart family.

Winn was on his way to meet with Felicity at the back of the school. However, as he walked, he stumbled into something he wasn't supposed to see. Alex Danvers making out with Maggie Sawyer by the dumpster.

"Ay-ay-yo!" screamed Winn upon seeing them.

Alex and Maggie stopped kissing and saw Winn.

"Well, this is... interesting," said Winn, unsure of exactly how to feel.

"It's the 21st Century, Schott. This doesn't surprise people anymore," said Maggie.

"Well, everyone here knows who you are, Maggie, but Alex..." Winn paused.

"Hey, it surprised me, too," said Alex. "But I'm not ashamed of it."

"Okay, I'm gonna walk away now," said Winn. "You two get back to... smooching and stuff."

"You better not be up to mischief, Schott," warned Maggie.

Winn laughed nervously as he walked away. Alex and Maggie continued, as Winn put it, "smooching."

Meanwhile, Winn had finally arrived at the spot where Felicity wanted to meet with him. She seemed to be in the middle of a video chat on her tablet. As soon as she saw Winn, she decided to hang up.

"I gotta go, Alena. Bye," said Felicity as she ended the call. "Hey, Winn."

"Let's make this quick," said Winn. "I told Siobhan I went to the bathroom. If I'm out here any longer, she's gonna get suspicious."

"Honestly, I can't believe you're dating Ms. Gothic Banshee," said Felicity.

Winn raised an eyebrow, offended.

"Sorry. Should've kept that to myself. People keep saying I say things that shouldn't be said. I don't why. Maybe it's my mother... I'm out of control, am I?" babbled Felicity. "Anyway, I have great news. Cayden James said yes."

"Really?" asked Winn, surprised.

"Yes, and he wants me and Alena to take you to Helix HQ," said Felicity.

"Ooh, I am so excited," said Winn. "The greatest hackers in history, all gathered to save the world."

"You and I are gonna make history, Winn," said Felicity.


Later that day, L-Corp and Lord Industries visited Silverstone High for a charity program issued by the school. All the students gathered in the gym for the two CEOs to make their speeches. As the students and teaches take their seat, Lena and Maxwell were getting ready in behind the curtains.

"Big day for us, Lena," said Maxwell.

"I'm here because I want to help the people of Silverstone, Max," said Lena. "You just want good publicity."

"Isn't that what you want too?" questioned Maxwell. "I mean with all the allegations going on in Metropolis about Lex Luthor being corrupt, the media's been wondering if you're the same or in cahoots with him."

"Let's say Lex did sell military grade weapons to some clandestine criminal gang, why the hell would I be involved?" replied Lena.

"You tell me," said Maxwell.

"Lex is a 22-year-old schizophrenic megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur," said Lena. "Me, I'm just an honest girl trying to make her father proud."

"Donating millions to help repair the city after the Doomsday situation, I'm sure he's smiling down at you from above," said Maxwell.

"What is wrong with you, Max?" asked Lena. "Your company gets targeted. Supergirl popped into your office that one time. You turned Evie Tesmacher into some Kryptonian experiment. Your lucky I'm not trying to out you today."

"I didn't expect you to tell anyone," said Maxwell. "But I admire you, Lena. Brave. Bold. Always smiling to yourself in the mirror. You make me proud. Maybe we can discuss Bizarro over dinner."

Maxwell eyed Lena flirtatiously. Lena shakes her head in disgust, but couldn't help but smile.

"Alex Danvers. Cat Grant. And now me? You have a unique taste for women, Maxwell," said Lena.

"Alex Danvers just recently revealed that she's not straight as an arrow, and Cat Grant turned me down only because I was not 23 yet," said Maxwell, explaining why the aforementioned two women turned him down.

"You can lie to everyone in this city, Max, but not to me. I know who you are," said Lena. "An ego-maniacal narcissist who belongs in a frat club."

Maxwell can only smile, flattered and offended at the same time.

"I'm not as bad as you think I am, Lena," said Maxwell. "I do want what's right for this city. My parents died because of government ignorance. I'm not about to become like them."

"Is killing Supergirl right for this city?" questioned Lena. "Kara and I compare notes, just so you know."

"Kara Danvers. Such a rare diamond in a sea of jewels," said Maxwell. He almost wished Lena knew Kara's secret.

"Well, maybe you should date her. Clearly, you have very little boundaries in your choice in women," insulted Lena.

"Ms. Luthor."

Principal Waller called, accompanied by James Olsen.

"Mr. Olsen here was asking if he could take pictures of you and Mr. Lord for CatCo," said Amanda.

"He's a friend of Kara, and any friend of Kara is a friend of mine," said Lena.

Lena poses as James takes pictures.

"The man who took the first picture of Superman, and fought side-by-side with both him and Supergirl," started Maxwell. "You can land a job anywhere, kid. Althought, CatCo, I admit, is high standard."

"Don't discourage the boy, Maxwell," said Lena, still posing.

"I like my job," said James. "Photography is a hobby that I take seriously."

"I can see why Kara likes you," said Lena.


After taking pictures, James returns to his seat, right next to his ex-girlfriend, Lucy. They had broken a few months ago after Lucy found out that he liked Kara more than her.

"Lucy, I'm tired of the silent treatment," said James.

"I'll stop when you start coming clean," said Lucy.

"Lucy, Kara has a boyfriend. Plus, she was never interested in me. Pursuing her is pointless," said James.

"How do I know that you're ready to commit?" asked Lucy.

James gives Lucy his camera.

"My father gave me that before he went on that desert mission," said James. "He also had a thing for photography when he was a kid. That was what he wanted to be when he grew up. Then military camp came and he changed his mind. But he kept the camera because his passion never died. When he heard that I started taking pictures at school, he thought it was time to pass his passion down to me."

"Why are you telling me this?" asked Lucy.

"Because the only people I ever told this story are Kara and Winn," said James, smiling at Lucy. "It's my story, and it's sacred. Now, I'm trusting you with it."

Suddenly, Lucy leans forward and kisses James on the lips. Despite feeling surprised, he kissed her back. After the kiss, Lucy stared at James with confusion and love.

"Kara has her own life. It's time for me to find my own," said James.

"Let me keep the camera for one day and maybe I'll let you take me on another date," said Lucy.

"Just promise me you'll be careful," pleaded James. The camera means so much to him.

"I'll guard it with my life," promised Lucy.

The two teenagers smiled at each other.

"You guys are so cute."

James and Lucy stopped smiling and turned their heads to the person who complimented them and ruined the moment. Winn. He was sitting down with Siobhan's arms all around him.

"Well, you two are cute as well," said Lucy sarcastically.

"Thanks, Lane," said Siobhan, being sarcastic back.

"I honestly still don't know how this happened," whispered James to Lucy.

"We can hear you," said Siobhan.

"But hey, we're all one big happy family," said Winn. "You two. Me and Siobhan. Barry and Kara. Oh, Siobhan, you have got to meet Barry. He's such a nice guy."


After school, Felicity, Winn, and Alena ride in a mini-van to a seemingly abandoned building. Underneath said abandoned building is a secret headquarters filled with hackers, young and old, typing away on their computers, monitoring the city or just having fun with the internet.

"It's like I died and went to computer heaven," said Winn, awed by the sight. "Granted, it looks a little run down, but... wow."

"Well, Helix can't exactly afford an HQ with shiny walls. Not yet, anyway," said Alena.

"You are gonna love it here, Winn," said Felicity. "Not only is everyone here an awesome hacker, but they also really nice people. They can make pleasant friends."

"Indeed, they do."

That line came from Cayden James, the leader and founder of Helix.

"Hello, Mr. Schott. I'm Cayden James," said the leader of Helix, holding out his hand.

Winn shakes the man's hand.

"I must say, it's an honor to be here," said Winn. "Felicity told me you're the best hacker in history."

"Well, I prefer to show than tell," said Cayden. "We're gonna make some big changes, Mr. Schott."

I admit. Even I don't see much here other than Winn joining Helix. I just wanted James and Lucy's love story to progress, while showing Lena and Maxwell's attitude towards each other.

For the next chapter (which is the final "supporting characters" chapter), we'll be seeing Roy, Thea, Wally, and Jesse. Four young kids out on the streets. It should be fun, right? Well, I hope I can make it fun.
