Kara was now used to saving the people of National City, especially now that she had her sister's help. One day, about three weeks after Alex became the second superhero in the city, Kara was helping her boss Cat Grant.
"Kiera, check my appointments, I should not have anything for the rest of the day," said Cat.
"Let me see, yes, your afternoon is free, but some old CEO tried to schedule a meeting with you for today's afternoon," said Kara.
"Good, today is a special day, Kiera. Today we will spend a lot of time outside, well if you count spending time in the car as being outside," said Cat. "I heard that a young woman will be arriving soon at the National City Airport, and we will meet her,"
"Yes Miss Grant. I will take the usual things for your interview," said Kara, ready to walk to her desk.
"Kiera?" Cat said. Kara stopped and turned.
"Yes, Miss Grant?" Kara asked.
"You don't need to take anything, just your brains. Also please look good, since I don't want my assistant to embarrass myself in front of Lena," said Cat.
"Lena? Wait, we are not going to an interview? Who is Lena?" Kara asked. "I, if you need some time alone, I can book a hotel,"
"Oh Kiera," Cat laughed, "I am not going to a date. No, Lena just needs my help. Young women need advice in this male dominated industry, and the lady is even younger than you are," said Cat. "So, off you go, the limo will be living in one hour,"
Kara worked for the next forty-five minutes, and then walked into Cat Grant's office, ready to travel with her boss to meet this mysterious Lena. "Miss Grant, your car should be here shortly," said Kara.
"Good. Let's go Kiera, we can wait for it outside," said Cat, walking towards her elevator. Kara followed.
As Kara pressed the regular elevator's button, Cat looked at her. "You are going with me, Kiera, but you have to promise me that you are not feeling sick today. We don't have much time, and I need you to stay close to me," said Cat. Cat's personal elevator opened doors, and Cat entered. Kara hesitantly took a step in. The elevator doors closed, and the two women rode in silence for a few minutes.
After the elevator doors opened, Cat and Kara walked to CatCo's entrance and exited the building. The car arrived shortly, and they both climbed inside, with Kara helping her boss get in.
Kara was unsure whether to start a conversation with Cat, but Cat Grant was reading something on her phone, so Kara decided to just look at the scenery. The drive wasn't long, and soon the car arrived in the airport, and came to a final stop at a private terminal, where private jets landed.
"Miss Grant, this is the private terminal," said Kara.
"I know that Kiera. Do you honestly think that a CEO would land at a regular terminal? Besides, she needs her private jet and access to this terminal, as someone might attack her," said Cat, as the two women exited the car.
Kara saw that the relatively small plane has already landed, but it's doors were still locked. She followed her boss, walking slowly towards the plane. As they were within ten meters away from the plane, the plane's doors opened, and a woman walked down the steps.
When the three women met, Cat spoke. "It's good to see you, Baby Luthor," said Cat, hugging Lena.
"Wait, you are Lena Luthor? Any relation to Lex Luthor?" Kara asked.
"Yes, I am his younger sister, will there be any problem?" Lena asked. Kara saw that Lena's face was full of tension.
"No, I was just wondering," said Kara, blushing. She saw that Lena's face immediately relaxed, and smiled towards the young assistant.
"It's good to see you, Baby Luthor. Why have you arrived to National City? I thought that Luthor Corp HQ was in Metropolis," said Cat.
"It was until recently, but as the new CEO, I decided to move the main office to National City. I just want to have a fresh start, and live in a city where not every person hates the Luthor name. I know that people here are also suspicious of Luthors, but it's even worse in Metropolis, where Lex has wronged many people," said Lena.
"It's still good to see you, Lena," said Cat.
"How do you know Miss Grant?" Kara asked
"I met Miss Grant about seven years ago when she had a vacation in Metropolis with her son Carter. My brother just turned evil, and my life was a mess. But Cat helped me, and mentored me during the time she spent in Metropolis, and later we kept in touch," said Lena. "And are you Cat's assistant?"
"Yes, my name is Kara Danvers," said Kara, smiling at Lena. Kara did not know why, but for some reason she just wanted to smile when she was looking at Lena.
"I think it's time for us to get back to the city. We will be going to my office first, where I need to brief you about some of the problems that you might face as a new CEO, not only as the Luthor heir, but also as a young woman," said Cat. Lena nodded, and three women went to Cat's car.
Before they could enter it, a projectile hit the plane, and it exploded. The other projectile flew towards the three women, but Kara managed to push them away from, and the projectile collided with the car. Fortunately, the driver was not injured, since he stepped out of the car when Cat met with Lena.
Kara saw a small remotely controlled plane that had wingspan of about three meters; it was circling above the destroyed plane. It sent a third projectile, but this time, Alex Danvers arrived and blocked the projectile. Alex then used her heat vision to destroy the remotely controlled plane.
"Is anyone injured?" Alex asked, looking at her sister and two CEOs.
"We are fine, Powergirl. Thank you for your help," said Kara. Alex nodded and rose in the air, briefly scanning for the possible existence of other remotely controlled planes, and then flew away after making sure her sister and the other women were safe.
"National City is never boring. Back in Metropolis we have Superman, but here, you have not one but two female heroes," said Lena.
After finding a taxi, the women drove to CatCo, while Cat complained that the taxi was too dirty. Otherwise, the trip was smooth, and they soon returned to CatCo, where they once again used Cat's private elevator.
"So, I will be giving a lecture tonight, where I will make some public announcements about my company," said Lena.
"Lena, this is dangerous, someone just tried to kill you," said Kara.
"That was Lex," said Lena, "Honestly, I cannot believe that many years ago my brother was a sweet boy and now he turned into a crazy sociopath,"
"I agree with Kiera, making a public announcement will be dangerous," said Cat.
"But I need to, this is why I came to the National City in the first place! I want to make a fresh start," said Lena.
"Don't worry, Supergirl and Powergirl will be there to protect you," said Kara.
"And how do you know that, Kiera?" Cat asked, as Cat and Lena looked at Kara.
"I just think that Supergirl and Powergirl now that it will be dangerous for Lena to go out in public, and since Powergirl already saw that someone tried to attack Lena earlier today, she would likely tell Supergirl about that incident," said Kara.
"That makes sense. I will be making my public announcement in a few hours, and you two are welcome to attend," said Lena.
After Lena left CatCo, Kara took her phone and called her sister, informing Alex about what Lena has planned. "I will be there," said Alex.
A few hours later, Alex was hovering above the ground in her Powergirl costume, while Maggie and other police officers were in the area, checking to see if there were any signs of trouble. Kara was in her civilian outfit, standing next to her boss.
"Greetings people of National City. My name is Lena Luthor, but many of you probably know that. Thank you all for coming. I know that most of you associate my name with my brother whose madness made him do unspeakable things. But I want change how you all look at my family name. I will start by changing the name of my company as L Corp, and the company will help us all enter into a new age, where L Corp will create technology beneficial to all people," said Lena. As she finished talking, an explosion occurred in L Corp, but Alex flew towards the building and reinforced it.
While Alex was trying to fix the building, some man dressed walked slowly towards Lena, he took out a gun. People panicked, running in different directions. This allowed Kara to escape, and quickly change into her costume.
"Kara, I need your help," said Alex.
"But Alex," said Kara, "I need to save Lena,"
"Kara!" Alex screamed through the radio piece, but Kara ignored her sister and flew towards Lena, trying to shield her from the gunman. The gunman took another gun, and shot Kara with a kryptonite bullet. Kara tried to evade it, but the bullet still managed to struck her in the shoulder.
"What do you know, Lex will pay me double after knowing that I killed not only his pathetic sister, but also Supergirl," said the gunman, as he pointed the Kryptonite gun at Kara's chest, and a regular gun at Lena.
Kara turned, and another bullet hit her, this time in her leg. Kara dropped on the ground, and immediately hugged Lena, shielding the other woman from harm.
As the gunman was ready to fire, a bullet hit the gunman in the spine. He fell on the ground, severely bleeding. "Supergirl, are you alright? Miss Luthor, do you need any assistance?" Maggie Sawyer approached the two women. Seeing that the threat has passed, Kara slowly opened her arms, and Lena climbed out from underneath the body of her protector.
"I am fine; I will just need some sunlight," said Kara.
"And I am not hurt, Supergirl saved my life," said Lena, as both women stood up.
After fixing the building, Alex landed next to her sister and looked over the shoulder and leg. With some effort, since the Kryptonite was also affecting Alex, she lifted her sister and flew Kara to the DEO. When the two Kryptonians arrived, Alex and Kara fell on the floor.
"Alright people, bring these two under sun lamps," said Hank.
"Help Supergirl, she is wounded," said Alex, as both sisters fell unconscious.
When they woke up, Kara and Alex noticed that they were lying on the sun beds, with yellow lamp light helping them recover. "What a day, I met Lena Luthor today," said Kara, smiling. She liked to be in the presence of the young CEO, who seemed friendly and very beautiful.
"Yeah, and we also defeated that crazy gunman," said Alex.
"I don't think it will be the last time we'll hear of him," said Hank, leaving the Danvers sisters to recover.
Somewhere in the desert, in a space base, Astra has been observing the news. "Supergirl and Powergirl have saved Lena Luthor with the help of Detective Sawyer," said one of the reporters on screen.
"Hmm, this complicates things," said Astra.
"Isn't that human woman the sister of that Luthor madman?" Non asked.
"She is, but from the looks of it, my niece seems to be forming some bond with her. I don't want Kara to befriend a Luthor, since while Kara and her sister are merely mistaken and can see reason, I am very suspicious of the whole Luthor family. They are, at least her brother, are very anti alien, and can be very dangerous enemies to our family, especially given that all Luthors have genius level intellect," said Astra.
"I can make sure that this Luthor girl disappears from the face of the planet, and that nobody would notice," said Non.
"That could work, but I need Kara to see that Lena Luthor is evil. Yes, if she befriends her, and later this Luthor betrays the Little One, Kara will see that I was right and join me willingly. For now, we will wait, and proceed with Myriad as planned," said Astra.
"Yes Astra," said Non, walking away.
In a different evil base, Lillian Luthor was looking at the news. "What have you done, my little boy? This makes me hate Superman even more, he turned you so mad that you even went to attack your sister. I need to protect her, and it's my pity that I was unable to protect you, but I will protect my daughter. First, I will distract these Supers with project Metallo and Tornado, and later I will use Medusa to get rid of all aliens but Kryptonians," smiled Lillian.
She walked away from her screen, ready to make John Corben into Metallo, and order TO Morrow to create Red Tornado and give the android to General Lane, without mentioning that Lillian Luthor was involved.
A/N: and this chapter introduced Lena Luthor. I thought it would be nice for Cat to mentor Lena, since they are both CEOs but Cat has a lot more experience on what it means to be a CEO. Also, while Kryptonite affected Alex, she was only weakened and could still fly and carry Kara to the base, especially since the Kryptonite hurt Kara, and was in her shoulder and leg, not Alex's body. And I decided to add a small Maggie scene, since she was absent in that episode.
