Winn stood in the DEO training room, with his fists pointing at Alex.
"Change your leg positions," said Alex, ready to train the new DEO agent.
"Are you sure that I need to do this?" Winn asked as Alex advanced towards him, and with one swift motion, moved her leg, touching Winn's. Winn lost balance and fell on the ground.
"Director Danvers, I am Director Danvers to you right now! Listen up, video game man, even if you won't be a field agent, you still have to know enough skills to fight the enemy forces," said Alex.
"Aww, come on Alex," said Winn, slowly standing up.
"Director Danvers!" Alex quickly used her hands to touch Winn first in the hand, then on his shoulder and then with a light kick on his stomach, Winn fell on the ground again.
"Again. You are not even trying," said Alex. Winn stood up, and assumed a defensive posture.
Two hours later, the door to the room opened, and Maggie entered. She immediately chuckled, since seeing that Winn was now running away from her girlfriend, who wasn't amused at Winn's still lack of any experience at fighting made Alex quite grumpy.
"Exit! Thanks, I love you Maggie, but in a friend way," said Winn quickly, running away from the room. Alex chased him to the entrance, but stopped, deciding to give Winn a break.
"It seems that I missed quite a funny event," said Maggie, approaching Alex. "If I knew that you would be training Winn today, I would have come here much earlier."
Alex smiled. "Can you believe it? Even Kara showed more progress in her first two hours of fighting me, and Winn is just so scared of even touching me," said Alex.
"To give him credit though, Winn does seem to be rather scared of you," said Maggie.
"What? I am not scary, am I?" Alex asked.
"Not to me, and I doubt that Kara is really afraid of you, but to others, you are Agent, sorry, Director Danvers, a badass woman who can defeat practically anyone, even if not using your powers, you can defeat any agent here," said Maggie, "So yes, Winn would be scared."
"I don't know, I mean, yes, I am a badass, and everybody knows that, but others are not terrified when fighting me, but Winn was," said Alex.
"Maybe you are protective of Winn and don't want him to get hurt, so you train him much more," said Maggie.
"Well, yes, duh, Winn is the most inexperienced fighter at the DEO ever recruited, and even I was just a party girl, studying at med school, and I knew how to fight better than Winn does," said Alex.
"Party girl," laughed Maggie.
"Hey, not funny," said Alex.
"Oh, it is quite funny. But it would be even funnier to see you actually be a party girl," said Maggie.
Alex froze. "No," said Alex. "Maggie, no,"
"Maggie, yes," said Maggie. "Let's see a video from your party days, and then maybe this would improve Winn's own anxieties, since he won't be as scared of training with you."
"Maggie," Alex looked at Maggie, opening her eyes a bit wider.
"Your puppy pout won't work on me, babe. Alright, how about this, if we show Winn a video from your past, I will let you use this on me tonight," said Maggie, showing her handcuffs.
"Oh, kinky," said Alex, laughing. "Alright, but you have to make sure that only the three of us will see a video about my party days," said Alex.
"Deal," said Maggie. The couple then went to find where Winn run off to, so that they could ask him to find a video from Alex's college days. Alex remembered that she remained a party girl in her first week at the DEO, much to frustration of her former boss and mentor Hank; there had to be some DEO video recording of her acting rather silly in the DEO archives.
While Alex and Maggie went to speak with Winn, Kara and Lena were having lunch at an expensive Italian restaurant. "Are you sure you are going to eat all that, Kara?" Lena asked, seeing that Kara ordered two large lasagnas and three large pizzas.
"Yup. Food is good," said Kara, starting to eat two pizza slices at the same time. Some grease fell on the table, and some oil spilled on Kara's plate. Kara's mouth was red in places.
While Kara was eating her large order, Lena was slowly and gently eating her salad and a steak she ordered.
"Sorry, I am just so hungry," said Kara, eating two more slices of pizza at once. Lena just smiled.
"Oh no, that's ok. To be honest, I am kind of envious of you, since you appear to be quite fit, and yet you eat all this junk," said Lena. Kara immediately stopped eating and looked at Lena as if Kara was a hurt puppy.
"I am sorry Kara; I did not mean to say it in a negative way. It's just this kind of food has so many calories, that I am amazed that you manage to stay in shape," said Lena.
"I have a fast metabolism?" Kara said.
Lena shook her head, and continued eating her own meal. "It's nice for us to spend some time together. I rarely had any friends before, besides Lex, and well, he turned out to be a bad Luthor," said Lena.
"You will always have me, Lena. I will always protect you, and don't think that just because your brother is evil, that you are evil," said Kara. Lena smiled.
Kara and Lena continued their lunch. Some waiter turned on a TV to see the news of what was happening in the National City.
"My name is Senator Crane, and I disagree with the alien friendly President we have now," said Senator Crane. "We have to have better border security. I propose to build a dome around Earth so that aliens would be unable to enter our planet,"
The Senator continued to give a speech on her views about aliens living on the planet.
"Can you believe her? She wants to isolate this planet from other aliens? I mean, granted, some aliens are bad and dangerous, but most of them aren't and they likely just want to have a normal life, or in some cases, even save others from harm," said Lena.
"I agree; Senator Crane's views are rather extreme. Humans should know how to defend against hostile aliens, but humans should not isolate themselves from aliens. I believe that humans and aliens can coexist," said Kara.
"Like you and me," smiled Lena.
"Yeah, we are just two friendly human buddies, but if one of us were an alien, sure, we would still be friends," said Kara, smiling, as she looked at Lena.
"I agree," said Lena. Kara resumed eating her food, while Lena listened to what Senator Crane was saying.
"As I was saying," said Senator Crane, as suddenly the ground shook, and a large monster creature attacked the public.
"Um, Kara, I think that I need to use a bathroom," said Lena. Kara nodded. When Lena returned two minutes later, she saw a note on a table.
"Sorry, had to run, Miss Grant called, and she wanted me to help her with some work," read the note. Lena then looked at the TV where she saw Supergirl flying towards the monster who was causing panic on the streets.
"Go get it, Kara," said Lena quietly, smiling as her friend and hero punched the creature. Lena paid for the food, and called her driver, so that she could return to work.
Meanwhile, Kara was fighting the monster. It proved to be quite strong, much stronger than an average alien Kara encountered when working with the DEO, and while this alien didn't seem to be quite as strong as a Kryptonian, it was still very strong.
Kara flew towards the monster, but it remained still. Then, it phased through Kara.
"What?" Kara was caught off guard, and the creature used this opportunity to throw a punch, sending Kara away.
Kara fell on the ground. The creature approached her, but someone punched it hard. The creature fell and screamed at its opponent.
"Hank? What are you doing here?" Kara asked, seeing her former boss in his Green Martian form.
"I was visiting National City with the President, wanting to talk to her about her views, and after seeing an attack, I came here to help," said Hank.
Kara smiled, and stood up. Kara and Hank then flew towards the alien. "Careful Supergirl, we are fighting a White Martian, and they are very dangerous. They have all the powers that the Green Martians have," said Hank.
The creature saw Hank and flew towards an area of abandoned houses, where it blended with surroundings. "I see, this White Martian wanted to avoid fighting both of us. I do wonder what Alex is doing that stopped her from coming to aid us," said Hank.
Kara flew around the crowd, reassuring them that the monster was gone. "Now, please remain calm," said Kara.
"Look, another monster," said one person in the crowd.
"No, this man is not a monster. He is a Green Martian, and the last remaining member of his race. The White Martians destroyed his people, and he is now protecting humans from hostile alien threats," said Kara.
After the people left, Hank changed into his human form and approached Senator Crane. "Senator, I wanted to speak with you," said Hank.
"I was just talking about aliens, and you are an alien. Look at you, Green Martian, you are not even just some dangerous, you are from the same planet as that creature that attacked me," said Senator Crane.
"Crane, I would've hoped that you'd be more grateful towards the man who saved your life," said the President as she approached the Senator.
"Madame President, this man is an alien, who came from the same planet as that creature. That other Martian might have been here because it followed this Martian from their home planet of Mars," said Crane.
"Now, now, ladies, let's not fight among ourselves like third graders. We are all powerful women, who are all trying to make the world a better place," said Cat, smiling towards Olivia.
"Hello Cat," said Olivia.
"Cat Grant," said Senator Crane.
"Senator Crane," said Cat, "I know that you are concerned with alien threats, but not all aliens are bad. Some, like Supergirl or this Green Martian are on our side, and I know that most aliens are peaceful."
"And how do you know that, Cat?" Crane asked.
"Well, for one, I talked to Detective Maggie Sawyer on numerous occasions, and she knows the alien community very well," said Cat, smirking.
"I suggest then, for this Detective Sawyer to provide some testimony on what she knows about aliens in National City, without disclosing any personal information, of course. As a member of the police force of this city, I am sure she knows a lot about various aliens, information that could be useful for us to know, so that we can make conclusions about just how many hostile and friendly aliens actually reside on this planet," said Senator Crane.
"I agree with Senator Crane, I think it would be a good idea for me to speak with this Detective Sawyer, but since we are dealing with security, I will speak with her directly, since it's my job to protect the people of this country," said President Marsdin.
"Fine, but this does not change my opinion on the aliens and that they are dangerous," said Senator Crane, walking to her car.
"I don't like her," said Kara.
"People are like that, Supergirl, sometimes they are nice, sometimes they are mean, but for the most part, most people try to do good, at least in their subjective view of what they perceive as good. Senator Crane is well meaning, but she is misguided, and I am sure that after talking to Maggie she would change her views," said Cat.
"Yeah, that would be nice. Wait, why are you and Detective Sawyer on first name basis?" Kara asked.
"Oh, Maggie? We slept a few times, but neither of us was looking for a relationship," said Cat, walking away from Kara, who stood with open mouth, horrified.
"Cat and Maggie? I need to tell Alex," Kara said, flying to the DEO, while Hank shook his head.
He decided to visit a local alien bar he heard so much from other aliens, but they were hesitant to tell him any details about it. Luckily, once he changed to his Green Martian form, he easily entered an alien club. He felt tired, having spent last few weeks discussing various matters with the President, and now Hank wanted to relax. It helped that he didn't have the responsibility of running the DEO.
While Hank in his Martian form sat at a table in the alien bar, Kara flew to the DEO, and ran around, checking where her sister was. When she finally found Alex, she found Alex sitting with Maggie and Winn, laughing at how silly Alex behaved during her first week as a DEO agent.
"That long hair looked good on you," said Kara. Three heads turned and looked at her.
"Kara!" Alex said, quickly pausing the video.
"It's okay Alex, I've seen you behaving much worse in high school," said Kara. "Speaking of behaving, I heard from Cat that Cat and Maggie, well, they slept,"
"So, are you jealous of me, Little Danvers?" Maggie asked, smiling and showing her dimples.
"Who, me? No! I don't like either of you like that, all I am saying is that you are dating Alex, and I want to make sure that you are serious, and not taking advantage of my sister," said Kara.
"Kara, I will never take advantage of Alex. She however, is planning to do so tonight," said Maggie, showing her handcuffs to Kara. Alex was blushing.
"And, she is gone," said Alex, seeing a hole in the wall.
"I will see you Alex," said Winn. "Thanks for moral support,"
Winn quickly left the room. "Kara can be so silly sometimes," said Maggie. Alex put a hand over Maggie's shoulders.
"Yeah, so we meet at nine tonight?" Alex asked.
"Yup," said Maggie, winking. She then stood up and walked away, since Maggie needed to get back to work.
Winn returned to his work desk, where he saw James standing next to the desk. "Hey Winn," said James.
"Oh, hey James, how can I help you?" Winn asked.
"I came to see you, since you quit CatCo. I understand, you get to do more tech stuff here, and you can directly help Kara, but I miss having the three of us spending time at CatCo, trying to find some bad guys for Kara to fight," said James.
"Yeah, I remember," said Winn.
"Cool. So, what does this equipment do?" James asked.
"It can track some alien and other hostile activity, but the DEO agents don't have manpower to investigate every single one of them, especially if it does not deal with alien threats," said Winn.
"Alright, how about this one?" James asked, seeing a small red dot.
"I think there is a robbery of a small grocery store, but the DEO is unlikely to intervene. A lot of DEO agents actually have to stay here to protect the base from the rogue White Martian," said Winn.
"Alright. Thanks for intel," said James. James left. He climbed on his motorcycle and drove to the area where a few men were robbing a grocery store. He put on a black mask on his head and took a baseball bat.
Kara and Alex soon reunited at the DEO main room, wanting to brief the other on what has transpired that day. Hank visited, since he wanted to see life at the DEO and how it changed during his absence.
"Hank," said Alex, smiling. She flew towards Hank and hugged him.
"Alex," said Hank, smiling proudly at his Earth daughter.
"Director, or I guess Mister Henshaw, Sir, you won't believe what I've seen today," said Winn.
Alex glared at Winn.
"Winn, you promised not to tell anyone about that video," said Alex. "But Hank obviously knows, he did recruit me to the DEO, so he had to handle all my silly and party behavior during my first week at the DEO,"
"Ah yes, I remember how you actually managed to make every single agent, including yourself, drunk. I was lucky that day since I was at the meeting with General Lane," said Hank.
"Aww, Alex we should have a drunk party again! Wait, I know what we can do! Yes, I am a genius, how about we play drinking games, a Truth or Dare with drinks, or maybe Have You Ever," said Winn.
Alex shook her head. "It's actually a great idea. Lucy and I talked recently, and she suggested that we play some serious games at a Game Night," said Kara.
"Leave me out of all this," said Hank.
Hank went to speak with Senator Crane, who scheduled to meet with him at the DEO, so that Hank could show how the DEO could protect humans from hostile aliens, while at the same time respecting the rights of the many more peaceful aliens.
"This place is magnificent," said Senator Crane, as she walked in the DEO, looking at all the tech, as Hank was giving her the tour.
"This place might not seem much, but it can handle just about any alien threat, and when that fails, we have two Kryptonians to help us," said Hank.
"How interesting, yes, how interesting," said the Senator as she threw a lighter at Hank. Hank backed off, freezing at seeing fire in front of him.
"Ah yes, you are the last Green Martian. I came here to investigate this planet, and I was glad to find the only survivor of your race," said the White Martian, changing into her true form.
The White Martian punched Hank, throwing him at the nearby wall. Hank hit the wall, destroying a portion of it, and landing in an adjacent room.
The White Martian then flew, hitting Hank multiple times, trying to make sure to stay constantly on offensive, so that Hank could not go on counter offensive.
"Hank!" Kara cried, flying towards the fighting Martians. The White Martian smirked, punching Kara in the face, and sending her flying towards the wall.
"Kara, what's going on, oh god," said Winn, seeing White Martian, who briefly looked at Winn, but then continued punching Hank.
"Get of him," said Alex, flying into the room, and punching the White Martian. She then evaded all the punches that the White Martian threat at her, and then quickly, in rapid succession, hit the White Martian on its body.
The White Martian fell on the floor. Alex examined her opponent, and then looked at Hank.
"Alex," said Hank.
"Hank, don't worry, I dealt with the Martian," said Alex.
"Alex, behind you," said Hank. Before Alex could react, Hank punched the White Martian, which once again landed on the ground, this time not standing time.
Alex and Hank hugged. "You did good, Alex, but I have to leave you now. I have a long week ahead of me, as the President and I have a lot to discuss, but I have no doubt that you will run the DEO well," said Hank. Alex smiled.
"Um, guys, I found the real Senator Crane," said Winn. Kara, Alex, and Hank looked at one another and flew away, rescuing the Senator, who while she still felt threatened by the aliens, was grateful towards Hank and the two Kryptonians for rescuing her.
As Hank changed into his human form, and Kara flew off to CatCo, Alex got a text from Maggie. "Babe, come quick. I am concerned," read Maggie's text.
Alex flew towards the location that Maggie sent her, only to find a group of robbers tied up by the lamp post, with Maggie standing in front of them with her gun pointed at them to make sure they did not move. Next to Maggie lay James; his lip was bleeding, and he did not bother to move.
"Really? Olsen, really?" Alex said, walking towards James, and helping him to sit on the ground.
"I had a similar reaction. I mean, James Olsen, why did you do this, it was dangerous to fight these robbers, for a civilian, and especially without backup," said Maggie.
"I managed to defeat them," said James, finally sitting up.
"No, what you managed is to get yourself hurt," said Alex.
"So what was I supposed to do, then? I learned from Winn that there was a robbery in progress, and I had to do something, since the DEO couldn't be bothered to stop these guys," said James.
"Winn told you that?" Alex asked, hearing Winn saying "Oh, shit" in her ear piece.
"Yes, so? I actually saved the owner of the store from these thugs," said James.
Alex sighed and looked at Maggie.
"I will take this guys to the station," said Maggie, having the robbers walk towards her police car, and leaving Alex and James alone.
"I guess it's time for me to return to CatCo," said James but was unable to stand up, since Alex put her hand on his shoulder.
"I don't think so mister. As a friend of Kara's, I don't want to see you get hurt because you act recklessly by trying to be a hero. But you will likely try this stunt again, so I have a better solution than to threaten you not to bother with your reckless heroics anymore," said Alex.
"Which is?" James asked.
"I will personally train you in combat," said Alex.
"No, I don't need any further training, I know martial arts," said James. Alex just glared.
That evening, Kara and Lena met once more, but since it was late, the pair decided to watch some movies, while Kara ordered three large pizzas much to Lena's amusement. Alex and Maggie had fun in Alex's apartment.
Hank returned to the alien bar, and ordered a drink. "Martians are rare visitors in here," said a woman, approaching Hank.
"I am a Green Martian, not a White one," said Hank.
"I know; I've seen you shape shift. Occasionally, a White Martian decides to come visit this bar, but they don't appear here frequently, since White Martians apparently are very isolationists, and I they don't tend to be pleasant to my customers," said the woman.
"Hank Henshaw, or J'onn J'onzz," said Hank.
"My name is Megan Morse," said the woman, putting a drink on the table. "It's on the house,"
Hank smiled as the woman left. In the bathroom, she changed into her White Martian formed; Megan looked sadly in her own reflection.
A/N: and so more Sanvers, more Supercorp dates. Maggie is getting more storylines here, since she is an interesting character, and I don't want her to only be Alex's girlfriend.
Lena though, she is a genius, and the next 10 or so chapters will not be about Lena trying to figure out that Kara is Supergirl, but that Kara and Lena mutually like one another. So, like Maggie, Lena knows that Kara is Supergirl. Both Kara and Lena like one another, and the journey towards Supercorp in chapter 22 will be funny, sometimes with jealousy seen from both Kara and Lena.
Also, this chapter introduced other Martians, who will play a much bigger role in the sequel.
Next chapter will be about the alien fight club, only with already established Sanvers, but Supercorp (not actual couple in next chapter) will join them at the club trying to defeat Roulette.
