《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 2
Advertisement
After J'onn left her apartment, Kara decided to go flying to clear her head and also give her time to think about all of the new changes to her life, since she needed to process everything and flying had always helped her calm down and clear her mind, which was something she really needed right now. So that was why she was currently flying in the upper atmosphere, too high for planes to see her and too fast for any satellites to track her.
As she flew, Kara did her best to make sense of her new memories. A majority of her life was relatively the same. It wasn't really until after she graduated from college that things changed. Apparently in this reality, Cat had decided to build Catco in Coast City instead of National City and while Kara had worked at Catco for two years, the first one as Cat's assistant and then the second as a junior reporter, she'd been fired by Snapper Carr for blogging without his permission about things he wouldn't let her write articles about. However, instead of giving up, Kara's doppelganger had decided to move to National city and start her own media outlet so that she could write the stories she wanted to. Something Kara honestly wished she'd done herself in the old world.
Anyways, Kara was driven out of her thoughts when her phone, not sure how she got reception this high up, rang.
"Hello?" Kara asked.
"Hey Kara, where are you?" Alex asked.
"Flying, I needed to clear my head." Kara said.
"Well can you meet me at your office? There's something we need to discuss." Alex said.
"Yeah, sure I'll meet you there." Kara said as she hung up and quickly searched for memories for the location of her office to find that it was actually the location of where J'onn's old office had been.
"So, you're the boss now." Alex said when her sister arrived.
"Yeah I'm kind of wishing I'd done this the first time Snapper fired me, but I didn't want to have to compete in the same city as Catco. That's not a problem anymore." Kara said as she hugged Alex.
"Well, at least now you're able to write about what you want to write about." Alex said.
"Yeah, just wish I had more people willing to read what I have to say." Kara said and Alex smiled.
"Well, I'm sure once Supergirl makes her debut, that will change, since I assume that Danvers Daily News will be the only outlet to get exclusives with her." Alex asked.

"Yep and not just Supergirl. The Daily Planet can have Superman, but over the next few weeks, I'm guessing several other heroes will make their debut. The Flash, Green Arrow, Batwoman. Why stop with just one hero when I can get exclusives with them all. I'm gonna try to take my outlet and expand it beyond National City. I can open an office in Central City that I'm sure Iris will be more than happy to take over once J'onn restores her memories, and then I can also open offices in Star City and Gotham City." Kara said.
"Sounds pretty ambitious sis." Alex said and Kara smiled.
"New world, new ambitions. I want to create a national media outlet and the fastest way I can do that is by getting exclusives with every hero I can. Especially since Oliver, Barry and Kate are three of my closest friends, since I know that they all have their memories." Kara said and Alex smiled.
"I'm proud of you sis. Now that you're the boss, I think you might be turning into a nicer, less fashionable version of Cat Grant." Alex said.
"Wow, that was almost a compliment." Kara said.
"Very funny. But anyways, when are you going to put the cape back on?" Alex asked.
"Once I find someone to make my suit." Kara said.
"Go to Cisco. Isn't that who nearly every hero on Earth One had made their suits?" Alex asked, since she'd actually heard Cisco gripe about how he'd never gotten the chance to make Kara's suit.
"Good idea. I've seen his work and I am curious about what he can do for my suit." Kara said and Alex smiled.
"You and me both. I am honestly thinking about asking him to make me a new uniform for the DEO." Alex said and Kara smiled.
"I just hope Winn won't get mad." Kara said.
"We'll let him build the superfriends a base, since we can't just use the DEO." Alex said.
"If J'onn has restored his memories." Kara said.
"We can ask him when he gets back, since as far as I know, he only restored my memories before he left to start restoring the memories of our friends in other cities." Alex said and Kara nodded.
"We can build our base in this office." Kara said and Alex nodded in agreement.
"Good thing you own it." Alex said.
"Yep. But as much as I hate to cut this reunion short, I actually do need to get going." Kara said as she checked her phone.

"Why?" Alex asked.
"I, or rather, the me of this earth, somehow managed to get an interview with Lena Luthor over the new office Luthor Corp just opened here in National City." Kar asiad.
"Still can't believe Clark hasn't put Lex in prison yet." Alex said.
"It took Lex turning the sun red to finally get him locked up before. Lex got me a pulitzer once, he can do it again, since now I have even more time to expose him and his corruption. Something that will be easier if I can get Lena on my side." Kara said.
"She doesn't remember anything from the old earth. You have a clean slate with her." Alex reminded her.
"I know, but still, once I'm sure I can trust her, I'm going to tell her." Kara said and Alex nodded.
"I hope it goes better than last time." Alex said.
"You and me both. Anyways, I should probably get moving." Kara said and Alex nodded.
"I'll come by your apartment tonight for sister night." Alex said.
"See you then." Kara said as she hugged her before heading out.
When Kara entered Lena's office, she found Lena waiting for her.
"Thank you for taking the time meet with me Ms. Luthor." Kara said.
"I wish I could say it was a pleasure Ms. Danvers. Or should I call you Supergirl." Lena said, surprising Kara.
"You remember." Kara asked.
"Lex made a deal with that monitor character to make sure I survived the crisis with my mind intact. Which means I remember everything. How you lied and betrayed me." Lena said and Kara decided that she'd had enough. This was a new world, which meant a new beginning.
"And what about all the times you've lied to me?" Kara asked, taking Lena back abruptly.
"Excuse me?" Lena asked.
"You heard me. You stand there and accuse me of keeping secrets and lying to you when frankly that's at least half of what you did to me the entire time we were friends. The Daxamite Portal, Sam being Reign, you making Kryptonite, Your Harun-El experiments, working with Lex, and most recently, your plan to use mind control on the entire planet. And do I have to remind you that every one of those secrets ended up creating more problems that put the entire planet in danger. Sounds like you're more of a Luthor than you think." Kara said, since Lena was gonna play dirty, then so was she. It was clear that being nice wasn't going to work anymore.
"Are you done?" Lena asked.
"Yeah, and I hope that you think about what I said for once." Kara said.
"I don't need to think about it, because you're right. I'm a hypocrite. Worse than that, I really am a Luthor." Lena said, since as much as she hated to admit it, Kara was right. She'd kept one secret to keep her safe. Lena had kept dozens and they'd always ended backfiring on her and putting the world in danger in the process.
"Lena, I really am sorry for lying to you, but even you have to admit that you've crossed some lines." Kara said.
"I know and I'm sorry. I was just so hurt when I found out that you had been lying to me and I wanted to make it stop. My pain and grief blinded me to my ethics. I'm sorry Kara." Lena said.
"Bygones?" Kara asked with a smile.
"How can you be so forgiving?" Lena asked.
"Because it's who I am. El Mayarah. Do you know what that means?" Kara asked.
"Stronger Together. I know a little kryptonian." Lena said and Kara smiled.
"Exactly. We're stronger together than we are apart. Plus, you still have to deal with Alex." Kara said.
"Okay, that should be punishment enough." Lena said as she shuddered at the thought.
"There's also something else you can do for me." Kara said.
"Name it." Lena said.
"Help me bring down Lex." Kara said.
"Done. I'm assuming you also want me to help you erase his memories of the old earth, including your identity?" Lena asked.
"If you wouldn't mind." Kara said.
"I have a lot to make up for. I might as well start now." Lena said and Kara smiled.
"Now, about that interview." Kara asked and Lena smiled.
"Right away Ms. Danvers. And who knows, I might even become a backer of your outlet." Lena said and Kara smiled as they got into the interview.

A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)
