Chapter 20
Leo watched with an amused look as Kara rushed through the DEO building towards the bunk where Mon-El was asleep. She woke him up and dragged him towards the Car and Leo drove them back to the loft so they could get Mon-El ready for the first day of his job. It started with a heat vision aided haircut then followed up with Mon-El trying on several clothes. Leo had been the one to come up with the winning suggestion. Kara finished the look with glasses.
"Why do I need glasses?" Mon-El asked.
"Well it's part of keeping your identity as Mon-El separate from Mike. This will come in handy when in the event you ever decide to use your powers to help people." Kara explained.
"The glasses are just part of the disguise though. The most important part is keeping the personality different. You'll see what I mean when you see Kara at work." Leo added.
"Mike, is the identity that Winn helped you create to fit in here. This is your social security card. It's basically a proof of your identity." Kara explained, handing Mon-El a card.
"Basically, to everyone else out there, you're Mike Matthews the intern at CatCo. Kara will explain what that involves when you get there. Just make sure to follow what she says." Leo advised. Once they were done at the apartment, Leo dropped them off at Noonan's, giving Kara a kiss goodbye and wishing good luck to Mon-El before heading to the DEO.
"So please explain this bribery to me once again." Mon-El said as he and Kara exited the elevator, Mon-El holding several cups of Coffee.
"It's not bribery. You're just, being nice to people by giving them coffee. It serves to introduce yourself and give them a good impression of you. It also helps you make new friends." Kara explained, gesturing to one of the reporters and getting Mon-El to give her one of the cups of coffee.
"Basically bribery." Mon-El said blatantly.
"It's just being nice to people." Kara countered, watching as Mon-El was left with only one cup of coffee left.
"You definitely want to give one to Eve. She's James' assistant. He's the big boss around here." Kara said, gesturing to the blonde-haired woman who was sat at the desk outside what was once Cat's now James' office.
"Hi there Kara. Who is this?" Eve said, accepting the cup of coffee and giving Mon-El a flirtatious look as she eyed him up and down.
"I'm Mike the intern." Mon-El said, repeating the line Leo had said to him earlier.
"Oh, that's right. James mentioned you. I hope you enjoy your time here Mike. If you need anything please feel free to ask me." Eve said introducing herself to Mon-El who seemed a little oblivious to her flirting. Kara then pulled her away and brought her to James.
"Wait, you're the boss here?" Mon-El asked in surprise, having seen James at the DEO a few times.
"Mike. Welcome to CatCo. I hope you enjoy your time here. I'm James. Cat Grant placed me in charge while she went on her leave of absence. If you need anything, my office door is usually always open. I've left some papers on your desk for you to file away. Aside from that, there shouldn't be much for you today except to get to know people and get used to answering the phone lines." James said. Kara then led Mon-El to his desk.
"This is where you will be working. As James mentioned, there is the paperwork you need to file away and the files they go into. You just need to look at the type of document and then put it away into the correct file according to the date." Kara explaining, demonstrating to Mon-El how to go about the task.
"I can't use my powers to go through this giant pile of paper?" Mon-El asked.
"No of course not. The whole point of fitting in is to not show that you have powers." Kara explained.
"You're saying that you've never used your powers to do things like this?" Mon-El asked.
"Of course I have. I've just had a long enough time here that I know how to disguise using them. And until you learn that, no powers." Kara explicitly told him. The phone rang interrupting them.
"What's that alarm?" Mon-El asked, looking at the source of the sound in confusion.
"It's a phone. You use it to contact people. You just pick-up the phone and say, Hello This is CatCo how may I help you?" Kara said. Mon-El repeated what she told him word for word, not understanding why it didn't work till Kara picked up the phone and handed it to him. After he had taken the first call and gotten settled in, Kara left him at his desk to get to work, telling him how to find her if he needed anything before going to follow James to get Coffee.
"Thanks again for taking in Mon-El." Kara said to James.
"You make him sound like some stray puppy." James remarked.
"He is. He's an outer space stray puppy." Kara responded.
"You know I feel kind of jealous for him. Everything's brand new and exciting." James commented.
"He does have a lot to learn though. But I'm sure me and Leo can help guide him. He will be able to fit in way faster than I did." Kara said. A black car came rushing onto the pavement from the road, narrowly missing Kara.
"That was close." James said, letting a held breath out as masked men exited the vehicle and started attacking a bank.
"Yeah for their car." Kara added.
"Seriously? Right in front of Supergirl? I feel bad for them." Kara said before running off to change into her costume, returning to confront the robbers as Supergirl. She landed in front of one of the robbers who had a shotgun pointed at her.
"You do know those bullets aren't going to work on me, right?" Kara pointed out. Another robber got behind Kara, pointing a large gun that didn't resemble any conventional weapon at her.
"I'm glad I didn't bring any bullets." The other Robber said pulling off his mask to reveal his face.
He shot Kara with the gun, surprising her as the laser sent her crashing back into a concrete structure before she came to a stop on the ground. James meanwhile was fighting with another robber who was waiting out by their escape car. He surprised the man by kicking him in the face before pulling him out and slamming him against a wall. The robber countered with a punch to the face which James responded too with his own strike to the robber as well as kicking the robber's knee causing it to buckle. He started walking away for the robber only for the robber to recover and trip him by pulling on his leg. The robber then followed up with a kick to James' face that disorientated him.
Kara tried to counter the laser gun with her heat vision, the two rays cancelling each other out. The robber fired again and Kara avoided the shot by taking to the air. The robber kept firing at her as she flew around, eventually hitting her and causing her to crash painfully to the ground. He was about to open fire again when a ball of energy impacted his weapon, causing him to drop it. He looked to the source of the attack and saw Leo in his Rogue armor with his Nebulasteam Gun pointed at him. The robber decided to run, fleeing for his vehicle and driving off quickly into the crowd of bystanders, Leo muttering under his breath when he couldn't get a clear shot.
"Are you alright James?" Kara asked, helping to prop James up. She looked saddened when she noticed that the camera James' received from his dad was broken in the scuffle. Leo approached the two of them, carrying the robber's laser gun on his shoulder.
"I believe we have a problem on our hands. Why don't you help James out and I'll see you back at the DEO?" Leo said to Kara who nodded and helped James up.
"I'll be fine. You two should quickly get to the bottom of this." James said, wincing a little at the pain.
"You sure?" Kara asked worriedly.
"I'll be fine. Nothing that won't heal. Those crooks though, they could do some real damage if they aren't stopped. Go." James said, steadying himself and getting Kara to let go of him. Leo nodded and used the phoenix Fullbottle to fly back to the DEO, Kara giving James one last look before following after him.
"This is an Anndrannian Photon Cannon. You were lucky that this thing didn't hit you a full strength. Who knows what it could have done to you?" Winn said, analyzing the weapon Leo had brought back.
"We need to find a way to track these alien weapons and figure out how they're getting into the wrong hands." Hank said.
"You sure they weren't Anndrannian?" Alex asked.
"They weren't purple nor did they have fins." Kara remarked. They were all interrupted when there was a city-wide transmission that appeared over their screens.
"You were warned. The alien invaders are dangerous. Their intentions malicious. They possess power we cannot hope to match. And their technology brought from other worlds is falling into the wrong hands. We should not be opening our arms to them. We should be locking them up and taking their weapon away. You did not heed up but you will heed the chaos that amnesty has brought. You will pay the price in fear and blood and you will beg us to save you. We are Cadmus." The transmission played. Leo meanwhile was working furiously away on his tablet before handing a flash drive to Winn.
"Winn, I want this file played throughout the city." Leo said. Winn nodded and got to work. All throughout the city, the screens were replaced with Build's logo before Leo in his Rogue suit appeared on screen.
"Who do we really fear? Who do we really need to watch out for? Is it the aliens who come seeking refuge? Or is it our own people, who seek to sow discord and blind us from the real threat? Cadmus claims to be our savior, our protector. Yet all they've done is go after your heroes. Supergirl and Superman who have risked life and limb for all you. For a planet that isn't even theirs. For a planet that they've decided to call home. Do not fall for Cadmus' lies. They are the ones sowing chaos and discord. They capture aliens, steal their technology and deal it out to the highest bidder or whoever suits their needs." The feed began as various video clips of Cadmus capturing and torturing aliens as well as their illegal weapons dealings from what they took from their alien captives was shown.
"Do not let the fear win. Cadmus wants you to think they are the heroes. And once the dust settles, they would have you right where they want." Leo's voice warned as the last clip was an overlay of Chet Miner the leader of the gang when he attacked the bank with the alien weapon. Next to it was a video of him receiving the weapon from Cadmus. The transmission ended and everyone stood stunned at what had just occurred.
"Your move Cadmus." Leo taunted.
"What just happened?" Winn asked.
"Leo just happened. He just put Cadmus in the spot. By showing them that it isn't the fault of the aliens, but actually Cadmus, it shifts the target." Alex said.
"When did you have time to put this together?" Kara asked, surprise evident on her face and through their bond.
"Yes. I am curious of that as well. Is this what you've been spending all your time on?" Hank asked.
"I've been spying on Cadmus for a good long while, stealing data, collecting videos of their dealings, piecing together their plans and working on stopping them. I originally planned to wait a little later till I had everything ready but the incident today moved things up." Leo said, bringing up his plans to counter Cadmus at every turn.
"What's Medusa?" Hank asked.
"A kryptonian bio weapon designed to eliminate all other forms of life aside from the one it is tuned to. In emergencies, it could be deployed quickly in the air to bring a swift and decisive end to the conflict." Astra explained.
"That has already been handled. The Medusa files have been moved out of the Fortress of Solitude and replaced with placeholder files that will allow us to tap into everything Cadmus has. That's part of the endgame. For now, we prevent them from instilling fear in the populace. That transmission was part of it. We need to pay attention to the fallout and react accordingly. If everything falls to place, the president should be labelling Cadmus as terrorists and we can react accordingly." Leo explained.
"So, for now we wait then. I'll keep all of you informed. I'm sure this will be a hot topic of debate. In fact, James just called for a meeting to discuss the issue." Kara said, checking her phone when she received her message. She flew off back towards CatCo, mentally preparing herself for the coming storm.
"There hasn't been any response from the government as of yet. We should be equipping our men with the same weapons to take down this Cadmus. A terrorist organization like this shouldn't be allowed to exist." One of the reporters at the meeting said.
"While I agree that Cadmus should be stopped, using alien weapons isn't the answer. It'll only end up leading to more innocents getting caught up. It also introduces the risk that Cadmus can take these weapons from the authorities and use them for themselves." Kara countered.
"Okay I think we're all tense. Let's just call an end to this meeting." James said.
"I feel bad that I can't do more to help. But it seems you guys have the situation somewhat under control." James remarked.
"Leo has it mostly under control. I'm still a little annoyed that he's kept so much of the counterplans from me but I he does have a point. Sometimes I'm too honest and nice for my own good." Kara grumbled.
"You do provide a good match to him though. You both balance each other out." James said before the two noticed Eve carrying a huge stack of paperwork.
"Are you turning into Cat Grant? Why are you giving her so much work?" Kara questioned.
"But I didn't give her any work today." James said, walking up to Eve and asking her where all the papers came from.
"Oh, this was the work you gave to Mike actually. He looked like he was struggling and it's his first day so I thought I would help him out." Eve said, getting to work on the filing.
"You want to take this or should I take this?" James asked. Kara gave her a look that said she would handle this.
"Mike what are you doing?' Kara questioned, annoyance clear in her voice.
"I am having a snack. These red sugar strings are amazing." Mon-El said shoving a red candy string into his mouth.
"You're supposed to be working. You just dumped all your work on Eve!" Kara said angrily.
"To be fair, she offered to do the work for me. You know on Daxam when a woman seeks to please…" Mon-El started but was interrupted by Lena Luthor walking into CatCo and making her way towards her.
"Lena it's nice to meet you. What brings you to CatCo? If you wanted to have an interview or a chat you could have called me or sent me a message you know. There was no need to come out here." Kara said, greeting the other woman with a hug.
"I was actually passing by so I thought I'd come and see you and give you the news personally. I'm holding a charity Gala this weekend and I was wondering if you and your husband would like to attend. You two are some of my only friends in National City after all." Lena said.
"Is a Gala like a party? I'm great at parties. Can I come too?" Mon-El interrupted.
"Umm, who are you?" Lena asked raising a brow.
"I'm Mike and intern her at CatCo." Mon-El answered.
"You can ignore him. He's new here and I'm still helping him learn the ropes." Kara said.
"Oh no that's fine. You can come to the Gala if you will Mike. There will be quite a few members of the public there." Lena said, taking an invite out from her bag and handing it to Mon-El. She then gave a hug goodbye promising that they would make time for coffee or lunch or dinner or something within the week. Kara said she would be sure to drag Leo along as well while Lena made her way towards the elevators.
"You people are really starting to annoy me." Leo said firing shots to disarm the robbers as they attempted to rob another bank.
It was the same group that Cadmus had equipped with alien weaponry. This time they had more weapons not just limited to a photon cannon but also anti-gravity guns. As soon as their weapons were shot out of their hands, the robbers tried to flee into the crowd but Kara was able to stop them. Leo shot at a robber using an anti-gravity gun on a police car, causing him to drop his weapon and the car to nearly crash against the ground if not for Astra helping to place it gently on the ground. In total, they were able to seize most of the alien weapons and around half of the robbers. The rest had managed to get away by using their fellow as distractions.
"Good work stopping them." Hank praised when Leo, Astra and Kara returned to the DEO.
"Hopefully that will dissuade them from trying again anytime soon. Cadmus seems determined to keep arming them though." Leo said.
"Yes. I am curious. What has been the sentiment of the people since your mate released his counter statement to Cadmus?" Astra asked Kara.
"It's actually a split greatly in our favor. Most people, around 70% are okay with the amnesty act but they want a swift end to Cadmus. The other 30% are blaming the aliens. They claim that if aliens didn't come to earth then none of this would happen in the first place." Kara answered.
"That's a good thing, right?" Winn asked.
"Course it is. It means we get time to deal with Cadmus. I hear the president's going to release a statement about Cadmus soon?" Alex brought up.
"She is. They're still working out the details on how to paint this picture to the public. Suffice to say her line of thought won't be too different to what Agent Titus has already brought up." Hank said.
"So, what do we do now?" Winn asked.
"You keep your algorithm running and try and find a lead on where they'll hit next. I won't be surprised if Cadmus arms them with heavier ordnance the next time. We need to conduct preemptive strikes to make sure." Leo said.
"It seems you were foiled by National Cities heroes Mr. Chet." Lilian Luthor said as she exited her car and spoke to the leader of the gang.
"They caught us by surprise is all. We'll get him next time we just need bigger weapons." Chet countered.
"I would advise you to stop going against them. Especially Build. He is not someone to be trifled with." Lilian Luthor warned before snapping her fingers. The men she brought with her revealed a case with a new weapon inside, one that Chet gleefully accepted.
"How's things going with the apprehending the gang?" James asked Winn when he was at the DEO.
"It's going fine. I have an algorithm running that will cross reference any potential targets and bring them to our attention." Winn said.
"Found anything so far?" James asked.
"Well there was a tip off about the Federal Reserve but given how obvious of a target it is, I'm doubtful." Winn admitted.
"I'll leave you to your work then." James said, noting the information that Winn gave him.
"I can't believe you got yourself involved!" Winn shouted at James when he entered James' apartment and saw him dressing his wounds. There had been an attack on the Federal Reserve last night and while Leo, Astra, Kara and Alex had managed to halt the robbery, they weren't able to catch Chet Miner. He had used a new weapon to nearly bring the whole building down, forcing the heroes to act quickly to prevent a calamity. Winn had been the one to notice someone else at the scene wearing a hood and armed with a baseball bat.
"I'm tired of being a sidekick and seeing everyone else fight criminals. Alex, Leo, Kara even Astra. I don't want to be just the guy behind the camera. Help me Winn. You can help design me a suit and coordinate my activities." James implored.
"Not happening. You shouldn't be doing this James. Think carefully on it. Alex has had years of training. Leo has his alien power source while Kara and Astra are aliens." Winn countered.
"I'm doing this Winn. With or without you." James said. Winn simply shook his head before seeing himself out the door.
"The support of the repeal of the amnesty act still stands at 30%. Although people are clamoring for Cadmus to be taken down. They've especially been expecting action from the White House or Build, given that he's the first one to tip his hand and reveal what Cadmus is after." James told Kara.
"Trust me, Leo would like nothing better than to tear Cadmus apart. But we need to approach this carefully. Moving in too early could cause them to fold and reappear at another juncture when we're not ready for them. Now that we have all the cards, we need to wait before we spring our own trap on them." Kara said.
"Speaking of which, have you seen Mon-El?" Kara asked when they walked past his desk.
"I told him to take this to marketing 2 hours ago." James said a little annoyed, picking up the layouts on the desk. Kara used her super hearing to try and find him only to immediately regret her decision.
"Eww! I didn't need to hear that. I'll probably need to clean my ears out with acid now!" Kara complained before rushing off to the room where Mon-El and Eve were. She pushed open the door, her face displaying her great shock when she saw them making out.
"Kara, it's not what it looks like." Eve said, correcting her dress.
"It's fine Eve. Just go." Kara said, causing Eve to run out of the room.
"Kara, what's the matter? I thought I was doing good. This is just like getting to know a woman on Daxam." Mon-El said when Kara levelled an angry glare at him.
"You're supposed to be trying to fit in here. Not trying to get in your coworker's pants! This isn't Daxam. You need to learn how to fit in. I don't know if this is really just not the right job for you or if you can't take anything seriously." Kara growled out.
"I think it's more the first one. I'm not like you Kara. This just isn't working out for me." Mon-El said.
"To me it looks like you aren't even trying. You know what, fine you try to find your own way on earth then. I give up." Kara said storming away.
'I can feel your anger and annoyance and various other things love. All of them directed at our Daxamite. What did he do this time?' Came Leo's voice over their bond.
'Mon-El isn't even trying to fit in. I give up on him. All he knows is how to flirt with women and how to party.' Kara complained through their bond. They discovered that overtime their bond had been getting stronger and now it was strong enough to where they could speak within their minds.
'That actually gives me an idea. Let me look into things. You sound like you could use a hug, and some ice cream or maybe some potstickers. Can you get out of work and come back to the loft? I can meet you there.' Leo thought to her. He could immediately feel Kara cheering up at the prospect of food.
'I don't actually need to be around today anymore. I'll see you at home. Last one there has to do cleanup for a week.' Kara teased.
'You're on love.' Leo responded before she was rushing towards the elevator to get back home.
"Who could that be?" Leo commented from his seat at the couch. He and Kara had been sharing a tub of ice cream on the couch while watching a musical on TV. They were surprised when the doorbell rang as they weren't expecting anybody.
"I've got it." Kara said, getting up from the couch and answering the door. She was pleasantly surprised to see Lena there.
"Lena, please come in. What brings you here?" Kara asked. Kara noticed how Leo choked on his ice cream.
'What's wrong? Did Lena do something wrong?' Kara asked mentally.
'It's not that it's her mother. I found out Lilian Luthor is the one in charge of Cadmus.' Leo responded. Leo was impressed as Kara was able to hide the shock from her expression.
"I need to get in touch with Supergirl. And Build if that's possible." Lena said, dropping a bombshell on the both of them.
'What do we do?' Kara asked Leo mentally.
'I trust her. I think we should tell her. Her mother is involved in Cadmus, she needs to be prepared for that' Leo responded.
"We might have a problem with that. See we can't exactly contact them." Leo said.
"And why not? Kara says she's quite well acquainted with Supergirl and from there I'd assume you would be able to contact build." Lena pointed out.
"It's a little bit more complicated than that. Before we start explaining how close to your mother are you?" Kara asked.
"Not very. She always says I'm not ruthless enough to be a Luthor. That I care too much about other people. That I'm too soft. She was against me rebranding the company and taking it into this new direction too. Why? What does my mother have to do with this?" Lena asked.
"What we tell you cannot leave this room Lena. Your mother…She's the one running Cadmus." Kara said while Leo took out his tablet and showed Lena the video of her mother meeting with Chet Minor. Kara was next to her, waiting for her to collapse in shock but she gave no visible reaction.
"I'm honestly not surprised. Mother was always sided with Lex in regards to the issue of Superman and aliens. Lex getting locked away was probably the last straw and that's why she's running a terrorist organization that wants to run all aliens away." Lena admitted, the bitterness leaking through her voice.
"We trust you a great deal Lena. You are a dear friend to us even though we've only known each other for a short period of time. We're trusting you greatly with our biggest secret." Leo said as he put on the Sclash Driver and transformed while Kara's suit materialized around her body.
"Your Build and Supergirl? I guess that sort of explains some things I noticed. You both hide it well. Him better than you Kara since you know the whole mask deal." Lena said.
"You're taking this surprisingly well." Kara remarked placing her hands on her hips.
"Oh no, I'm on the verge of breaking down from everything I've learnt but being a Luthor means you learn how to hold back your reactions." Lena said. Kara's suit receded back into the bracelet and Leo pulled out the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle, letting his armor dissipate. Kara led Lena to the couch before taking a seat next to her, Leo taking a seat on the couch opposite.
"What's being done to stop my mother? I'm starting to wonder if evil is part of the Luthor genetics." Lena asked, disappointment and hurt clear in her voice.
"Then it's great that you bucked the trend right? That you aren't really part of the family." Kara tried to lighten the situation with her awkward humor. Lena simply let out a dry chuckle at her words.
"Maybe that's why mother never liked me. But I want to know what's going on to stop her and I want in." Lena said seriously.
"We're biding our time, waiting for Cadmus to reach their endgame. We already know what that is. Some sort of anti-alien machine that is stored away in Superman's fortress. We've already seen to it that it is no longer there. I'm sorry Lena but your mother, she's not likely to get out of this with prison time or anything of that sort." Leo admitted.
"No, this needs to end. If you keep going on and on like Superman did with Lex, too many people will get hurt. And the good thing about Lex? His agenda was with your cousin. My mother's is against aliens in general. She always called them a plague." Lena muttered.
"I'm surprised you still want to associate yourselves with us. Given the fact that we hid this from you." Kara admitted.
"You were the first person in National City to give me a chance. To befriend a Luthor despite the stigma my name carried. You and your husband have been a refreshing experience in my life, opening my eyes to things I've never considered. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm more surprised at the fact that the both of you wanted to be friends with me. You know given that I'm a Luthor and all." Lena countered.
"It's nice to have another friend to discuss sciency stuff with." Leo said with a chuckle.
"What did you originally want to speak to Supergirl and Build about?" Kara asked.
"It's about the party. There's another reason why I'm hosting it. I have no doubt that Chet and his gang will be drawn to it. I wanted Supergirl and Build and maybe even Powerwoman to be there to protect them. I created a black body field generator. One that will nullify their alien weaponry. It just needs some tuning." Lena admitted.
"That's a sound plan. It sure beats having to keep shooting the weapons out of their hands." Leo said.
"But the innocent people involved…" Kara pointed out.
"That's why we need Supergirl and Build. I have faith the two of you will stop them and keep everyone safe." Lena said.
"Alright then, I guess we'll be working together. Let's get Winn on this as well. He can help you with the black body field generator." Leo said the three launching into a plan to finally stop Chet and his gang.
"I must admit Kara, blue really is your color." Lena said, greeting Kara with a hug and giving a polite nod to Leo when the pair arrived at the gala. Kara was dressed in a strapless blue evening gown that accented her eyes and figure. A set of sapphire earrings and silver necklace completed her look. Leo was dressed in a simple black suit with a blue tie.
"You did an amazing job on the gala, Lena." Kara praised.
"Thanks. I hope the two of you have a good time. Please enjoy yourselves." Lena said as Kara and Leo took in the surroundings of the party.
"Oh my gosh. The food." Kara said, losing herself and going after a waiter carrying a tray of food.
"I'd better go follow my wife before she stuffs her face too much and embarrasses herself." Leo said to Lena before he went looking for Kara. By the time he had found her, her mouth was already full of food and she had bumped into Mon-El.
"Mike. Nice to see you here. I must say that's a nice suit. How did you manage to get it?" Leo commented.
"Eve offered me this piece of plastic with which I could make purchases so I could buy this suit." Mon-El answered. Leo wanted to face palm when he realized what Mon-El had done. He sensed Kara's rising anger and decided to quickly diffuse the situation.
"If you'll excuse us Mon-El, I'd like to dance with my wife." Leo said smoothly, pulling Kara away to the dance floor as a slow number started and the pair were slowly swaying in time with their hands intertwined.
"I can't believe him. He used Eve's credit card too buy that suit. He is taking advantage of that poor girl." Kara vented.
"In his defense if Eve should really be more careful with who she gives her credit card too. Also, maybe she should meet other guys. Clearly, she's a little too desperate to get Mon-El's attention." Leo pointed out.
Their dance was interrupted when an explosion occurred at the party. Chet and his gang appeared at the party bearing arms that were more powerful than before. Kara and Leo quickly snuck away, returning as Supergirl and Build. Lena and Winn went to work on the Black Body generator and was able to quickly get it working, ridding the robbers of their advantage. It was then a simple matter of rounding up the robbers, Kara quickly knocking Chet out so he wouldn't run away again before turning her attention to the rest. Leo was making use of the lock Fullbottle to fire chains that bound the robbers. It didn't take long before all the robbers were subdued and the police arrived on the scene to take them away.
"Mon-El." Kara said, approaching the Daxamite who was laying in his bed at the DEO.
"Am I in trouble again? Do I need to go to work?" Mon-El asked.
"No, you're not. And you don't need to report to CatCo for work anymore. Me and Leo decided that CatCo really isn't for you and we just need to find something that fits you better so you can blend in. He says that we'll be visiting a place that might interest you more soon. I wanted to give you this. It's a guide to National City. If you find anything that interests you just inform Leo or I and we can take you to see it." Kara said, handing Mon-El a pamphlet that was a guide of National City. She then left him alone walking towards the center console of the DEO where Leo and Astra were discussing the issue of Cadmus.
"Lena's mother came to see her actually. Said she just came into National City and wanted to see her daughter. Lena kept the act up well. Are we moving against Cadmus yet?" Kara asked as they sat at the DEO.
"Not yet. They'll be making a play for you soon Kara so that they can get access to Medusa. We'll put them in checkmate then." Leo said.
"I still don't like the plan to put you at risk little one. Cadmus is dangerous. For you to be their captive for an extended period of time does not sit well with me." Astra commented.
"it'll buy us the time we need to make sure we can get rid of Cadmus for good Aunt Astra. I can keep their attention focused on me while Leo steals the information away. If it gets to dangerous I know he will protect me." Kara assured as the finalized their plans against Cadmus.
"That was Maggie. Miner and his Gang are all dead. They were being escorted for questioning when they just dropped to the ground in pain. Initial reports point to brain damage as cause of death." Alex said when she rejoined them after taking a call.
"Cadmus." Leo muttered, knowing that the terrorist organization was trying to tie up loose ends.
"I'll help you." Winn said when he entered James' office.
"What made you change your mind?" James asked.
