Hello again and thanks for coming back to my story. I really appreciate feedback, comments, and critiques. That's how I tell myself I get better I guess.

I don't own Supergirl or any of the related characters. This story is just for fun, don't sue.

Red Kryptonite Aftermath Chapter 6

National City Police Chief Anderson had stepped out from his office to see why all of a sudden the precinct had gotten so quiet, then he noticed at the entrance of the station stood Detective Sawyer and Supergirl by her side. It took him a second to get over the shock of seeing Maggie's success, that indeed Supergirl was in his building, but as he quickly gathered himself he realized he needed to reclaim order. "Everyone get back to work!" Chief Anderson shouted to the room of cubicles and desks. Most of the employees in the building responded by darting their eyes back to their computer screens or filling out the paperwork they needed to. One officer and his handcuffed prisoner had even stopped mid escort, so the officer had to shake his perps arm to get his attention to continue in the direction they had been going. As Chief Anderson quickly made his way to the entrance where Maggie was standing he had to say it a few more times directly to some of the officers and office staff that were still in their own states of shock directing them back to their paperwork or computer screens.

"Detective Sawyer" Chief Anderson said greeting the detective at the front of the station. Maggie returned the greeting with a similar acknowledgement. He then turned to Supergirl, Kara noticed he seemed a little caught off guard but he was doing his best to hold his command presence, "Supergirl" he said with a small nod as a greeting to her as well. "I'm Police Chief Anderson."

Kara returned it with a similar nod of acknowledgement not really knowing what to say at a time like this and simply opted for the obvious, "Supergirl." Kara continued when the awkward silence became too much for her, "I'd offer to shake but…" letting her cuffed wrists be the ending to her sentence.

The Chief seemed to just notice the cuffs and made an 'Oh' shape with his mouth. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Maggie then back to her "Sorry", he said. The Chief even seemed genuinly apologetic, "it's policy". Kara simply nodded that she understood.

With everything going back to normal in the precinct, mostly anyway, Maggie took it upon herself to continue with what she was supposed to be doing and that was logging in Supergirl's arrest. Maggie guided Supergirl by her arm to the left side of the room where a woman stood behind a desk that had been walled off by glass. There was a microphone to speak into and a slit toward the bottom that allowed the passing of small objects, mostly paper. "Maxine, can I get intake forms?" Maggie asked into the microphone.

Kara noticed that Maxine too was staring at her but she broke herself out of it and answered in a distinctly southern accent "Sure, Hun" and went and got a manila folder of forms for Detective Sawyer and slid them through the opening in the glass.

Maggie then began guiding Kara toward the sea of desks when Chief Anderson who was still hovering stopped Maggie, "Maggie, how about you complete the forms with Supergirl in the conference room instead of at your desk" he said.

Detective Sawyer stopped and looked at him, "You're sure?"

"I'm sure" he responded.

Kara couldn't be more grateful to be in the conference room instead of sitting wherever Detective Sawyer's desk was amongst all those other people. In here it was just her, the Detective and Police Chief Anderson. Detective Sawyer sat at one of the ends of the long conference table and Kara was made to sit at one of the sides next to her. Chief Anderson was hovering, half sitting on the table next to Kara. She didn't feel like it was a move to intimidate her, just that he felt like she was an important enough arrest that he needed to be present.

Maggie opened up the manila folder and began filling out the paperwork. Kara watched and so did the Chief. He seemed displeased with what Maggie filled in on the very first line.

Name: First: Supergirl Middle: Blank Last: Doe

Chief Anderson decided he had to intervene, "Supergirl, do you have a name we can put down on the paperwork?" he asked.

Supergirl looked between him and the detective, then back to him, "No, I don't have a name you can put down" Kara responded.

"You were born with the name Supergirl?" he said mildly sardonically.

After a second of thinking Kara responded, "My birth name is alien" feeling pretty happy with herself for avoiding the answer but still telling the truth.

"We'll take it" the Chief said, "Whatever it is, wherever it's from." Kara's eyes widened and she looked to Maggie for assistance.

"Chief, can we talk?" Maggie said but not waiting for an answer. She got up and preceded outside the conference room. Chief Anderson followed leaving Supergirl at the conference table on her own.

The wall that divided the conference room and the hallway was made of panels of glass so Maggie could still see Kara and Kara could still see them when they made it out to the hallway, not that normal drywall could do anything about Supergirl's X-ray vision anyway. For that matter she was sure Kara was probably using her enhanced hearing as well so she supposed the only reason for her stepping out of the room is for the Chief's benefit. As soon as the door closed to the conference room Maggie explained "Chief, she's not going to answer any questions that could lead to her identity."

Chief Anderson responded confused, "She doesn't really get that option, she's under arrest."

"After I went to CatCo this morning she heard I was looking for her through contacts she has there. I don't know who" Maggie preemptively answered. "So, she found me, I explained we needed her to turn herself in and she agreed to. Sir, she's agreed to answer what she can but made it abundantly clear to me that questions that could lead to her identity were not going to be answered" Maggie let that sink in with the Chief for a second. He was looking at Supergirl through the glass with just a little bit of confusion and frustration on his face. Maggie continued when he seemed at a loss for words. "Arrest or not, she's here voluntarily. We have no way to hold her if she isn't cooperating, the cuffs, our guns, even the cell won't hold her if she decides she's going to walk. I say we play along, Sir. We have her. That's a win. Let's log her in and let the lawyers deal with this tomorrow" Maggie finished. She hoped that was a good enough explanation to her boss that he'd agree to let some of the details of Supergirl's paperwork slide when weighed against the success of the Girl of Steel just being in custody in the first place.

Chief Anderson made an understanding nod but he still seemed unsure about the whole situation. "Alright, Sawyer. It's late, we'll go with this for now" he said. "Finish what you can of the intake paperwork, make sure everything you CAN do, is flawless. I'm sending notice to the DA's office that Supergirl is cooperating and in custody. I imagine they'll be here first thing in the morning." The Chief started to walk away but then stopped and turned back to Maggie, "Put her in solitary, I don't think we want gen pop and her mixing. I can't imagine it would end well for the lowlife who tries to hit on her." Maggie nodded and cracked a small smile at the thought of Supergirl snapping someone's fingers in gen pop because they decided to get frisky. The Chief began to turn away again but stopped, "Oh and Sawyer."

"Yes, Sir?" Maggie asked.

"Great job" Chief Anderson said simply, then turned and walked back to his office.

This is a shorter chapter I know, It's more of a bridge chapter to get to where the story needs to go. Please let me know what your thinking of the story so far in reviews. I appreciate it.
