《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Since her aunt was off world and Non had gone silent for right now, Kara decided that she might as well use this time to take the next step in expanding her company beyond National City. She'd been trying to decide which city to expand to next after Central City when the answer had been sitting in front of her all along.
That was why she was flying to Calvintown to talk to an old friend.
And sure enough, she found him at the Calvintown Gazette and smiled when she saw him hard at work.
"Knock, knock." Kara said with a smile as she knocked on the doorframe. James Olsen looked up and smiled when he saw her.
"Kara, what brings you out here?" James asked as he got up from his desk and moved to hug her.
"Oh you know, just paying a visit to a friend who doesn't call or visit." Kara said, raising an eyebrow at him as they hugged.
"I know, I know, I'm the worst about that, but honestly, things have been moving pretty quickly here and it just slipped my mind, even after J'onn restored it." James said and Kara smiled.
"All's forgiven, but you really should come visit National City, especially since Winn is back in our time. Oh, speaking of, I have a present from him and Lena." Kara said as she handed him a ring with a shield logo on it.
"What's this?" James asked.
"The latest in super suit storage. Your entire Guardian suit is loaded up inside that ring. Figured Calvintown could use it's Guardian." Kara said with a smile as James slid the ring in his pocket.
"So, last time you did everything in your power to stop me from being Guardian before and now you're actually giving me the tools to do it?" James asked and Kara smiled.
"Well, now I know that you can handle yourself. You've proven to me that you have what it takes to be a hero. And honestly, I'm glad that you're out here, so you can have the freedom you need to be a hero without coming in second to a cape." Kara said and James smiled.
"Thanks. And I promise that I will come visit. But hey, it's not like we won't see each other Clark and Lois's wedding." James said.

"Yeah, you're the best man right?" Kara asked.
"Yep and forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't Lois ask you to be her maid of honor?" James asked and Kara sighed.
"Yeah she did. But I have to admit, I do feel bad about taking that role away from Lucy." Kara said.
"Kara, even if J'onn restored Lucy's memories, there's a lot of bad blood between them. Not as much as there is between Lois and her father, but still, it's gonna take more than one conversation to fix things between them. Though I will admit, last time I talked to Lucy on the old earth, it sounded like they were on the road to recovery." James said and Kara nodded.
"Maybe, but still." Kara said.
"Kara, ever since you landed on this planet, you have been more of a sister to Lois than Lucy has been in years and honestly, you have more in common with her than Lucy does, that's why you two get along so well. Trust me, if Lois wasn't sure about her decision, she never would've asked you to be the maid of honor and honestly, even so, you didn't have to say yes." James reminded her.
"Fair point." Kara conceded with a smile.
"Anyways, is there any other reason you're here?" James asked, knowing Kara well enough to know that she had more than one reason for being here.
"Yeah, I'm actually buying the Gazette." Kara said.
"What do you mean?" James asked as Kara told him about her brand.
"Wow, you're trying to outdo Cat Grant." James said.
"Don't tell her." Kara said and James laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't. But still, Ms. Grant never would've thought to go national instead of just sticking to one hero in one city." James said.
"So, what do you say? You want to work for me?" Kara asked and James smiled.
"Of course. It will make it easier to do my job if I don't have to worry about that sort of thing. But are you sure you can handle running a national media empire and being Supergirl?" James asked.
"I'll figure it out." Kara said, since while she'd had similar thoughts when she'd first thought of this plan, she also knew that she could pull it off.

"Great, let's get the paperwork filled out." Kara said and James nodded as they started talking.
Lena had just been discharged from the hospital and now she was using the now large amount of free time she now had, since she'd checked while she was in the hospital and while Lex's memories had been erased of the old universe, he still remembered firing her and trying to kill her, though he'd kept his involvement in that a secret, looking for a new job when there was a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" Lena asked as she grabbed her phone and looked at the app that controlled her new security system and was a little surprised when she saw it was Andrea Rojas waiting on the other side and she felt a pang of guilt in her chest. Andrea was just another person she needed to apologize to, since after she and Kara had made peace, Lena had begun to think about the other people in her life that she'd pushed away just because she had been hurt and right now, Andrea was at the top of the list.
She quickly pressed the button on her phone to let Andrea in.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Andrea asked her when she entered Lena's living room.
"Like crap. I have to ask though, what brings you here? After the way I treated you?" Lena said as Andrea sat down across from her.
"I won't deny that I was hurt by what you said, but I also know that you were hurt by what I did to you." Andrea said.
"No, Andrea, I've had a lot of time to think and I overreacted. And I'm sorry for that." Lena said and Andrea smiled.
"I forgive you. I also hear that your jackass of a brother fired you from Luthor Corp." Andrea said.
"Wait, are you offering me a job?" Lena asked.
"Only if you want it. I won't force you to take the job, but I think that you'd really like working at Obsidian. And it would help us become close again." Andrea said and Lena didn't have to think about it for long.
"I'd love to, but I can't leave National City." Lena said.
"I'm not asking you to. Obsidian North is relocating here to National City." Andrea said and Lena smiled.
"Then yes, I would love to come and work for you." Lena said.
"With me. You'll be my equal, not my subordinate." Andrea said and Lena smiled, since this would work out in more ways than one. Though it also brought up emotions that she wasn't sure exactly what they were or why she was feeling them.
"Can't wait." Lena said.
When Kara returned to National City, she got a text from Lena telling her to come to her apartment,so that's why she had just arrived at Lena's penthouse.
"How are you feeling?" Kara asked as she handed Lena some soup she'd picked up on her way here.
"Better. Especially since I might have just found our way to take down Leviathan." Lena said, getting Kara's attention.
"I'm listening." Kara said.
"Andrea Rojas recently moved to National City, along with Obsidian." Lena said.
"What does that have to do with Leviathan?" Lena asked.
"Andrea works for Leviathan." Lena said, much to Kara's shock.
"Wait, are you sure?" Kara asked.
"Positive, she told me herself. She's actually that shadow woman you saw before at the DEO. She calls herself Acrata." Lena said.
"Lena, she could be the key to bringing down Leviathan." Kara said.
"I know, but Kara, I don't think that Andrea is really evil. I think she was just a desperate woman who took a deal when her back was pressed up against the wall. I think that if we can figure out what Leviathan has on her, we might be able to get her away from them." Lena said.
"Are there any other Leviathan agents you know of?" Kara asked.
"One that really shouldn't come as a surprise to either of us. Eve Tesmacher." Lena said.
"Of course. I'll see if Alex can track down Eve, since she could be the key to taking down both Leviathan and your brother." Kara said and Lena nodded.
"Well, I start working with Andrea once I've healed up, so I can be our eyes inside." Lena said and Kara nodded as they continued talking.

World Servers - Dawn
The year is 2143, and much of the world’s population has been digitized for decades. Different servers are configured for different purposes. Some servers are pure gaming worlds. Others are offshoots of fringe political experimentation or regimes. Still others are based around ethnic or nationalist sentiment. Some replicate past times or past eras. And still others have been designed as totally imaginary locations created out of the dreams of programmers and the Artificial Intelligences that have been used to build and drive them. The gaming guild I Like Big Booty is a loosely affiliated group of friends and avid players. Theirs is an international guild which spans multiple servers, mostly running raids, ganking other players in PVP, and generally trying to build up the funds to purchase their own home world server. On one of the most populous servers – designed to resemble 20th century earth – a small raid team running a boring and routine run in Washington DC, comes across something that might change the fate of Virtual Reality across the solar system. Note: Per request, the title has been changed, though I might change it again when if I come up with something a little better.

Willful Body
A colossal mountain towers above the clouds. Howls and roars reverbate throughout the mountain. On the mountain peak, two men stand silently face each other. One wears a cloak and wields a revolver with mystical runes glowing on its barrel. The other is bare chested and holds a great sword as large as his giant figure. The man with the gun points it at the other man. "Cayden, as one of your friends. Please make this easy for me and turn yourself in." The large man's eyes waver for a second before they quickly recompose themselves. "Come on then. Try to take me," The large man rushes towards the man in the cloak swinging his great sword down as he approaches. The man in the cloak sighs, aims his gun, and fires.

Mutation Era
That one fateful day, he showed up. The man in black. He who acted like this life was just another game. He appeared everywhere. Floating up in the sky. So naturally, but yet strangely eerie. He raised his hand and snapped then… Mutation. ... This is my first story that i've written, and with no education in story-writing, please don't expect anything of quality. I encourage you to give me feedback on my work. On that note, have fun reading! You can expect maybe 1 or 2 chapters per month because I'm really slow at writing. Chapter art courtesy of gej302

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
