《Edge of Glory | Supergirl 1》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Katie and Leah ran into the office, only allowed because Leah stated that she was Cat Grant's daughter, otherwise, the guards would have kicked the two out immediately. Leah ran to her mother, arms wrapping around her in an instant.
"Oh, Leah. Strong grip."
Leah released her, "Oh, um, sorry mother."
Cat gave her daughter an odd look, "Leah, what are you doing here?"
"Kara called me. She said you were attacked."
Cat turned her head to look at Kara, "Did she now?"
Kara fixed her glasses, "I'm sorry, I thought that your daughter should know that you were in danger."
Katie grinned, "Thank goodness Supergirl was there to save you."
"Maybe if Captain Marvel was there as well Leslie would have been stopped." Cat waltzed into her office, "I mean Livewire."
Kara glanced at Leah, when Hank walked into the room, "Miss Grant, may I speak with Miss Danvers?"
"Of course." Cat waved her hands, allowing Kara to follow Hank out of the room. "Leah, sweetheart, I think that it is best if you'd leave the premises before Livewire returns."
"Mom-"
"No, I am your mother and you will listen to me." Cat warned, "If you were injured because of my choices it would kill me."
Katie felt uncomfortable being in the room, she has never seen Cat Grant act in such a way, it gave her a shock. She backed up silently, making sure the couple didn't notice it. She moved outside, shutting the door when Hank came over to her.
"Miss Schott, your DNA examples have been analyzed, I'd like to talk you back to the DEO and explain with your results in hand."
Katie's hand moved to her forearm, suddenly realization hitting her, that she had absolutely forgotten about her crazy powers. "Of course, Director Henshaw."
When she was walked into the DEO, she felt a sudden dread, not exactly wanting to know what was wrong with her. Henshaw handed her a clipboard, her photo and everything about her was on it, "Your body contains elements of dark matter."

"Dark matter?" Katie questions.
"It seems to have infused with your blood, your whole system, giving you metahuman powers." Alex states, "There are traces of solar energy inside of you."
"As in the sun?"
"Something like that," Henshaw says.

Kara approached Leah, "I heard from Winn that you have a suit."
Leah laughs, "Of course he'd be proud of that, he made the suit." She turned to notice Kara was staring intently at her, "Why are you here Kara?"
"To ask you to protect your mother with me."
Leah smiles, "Sounds like fun."
"Suit up."
Kara and Leah flew to the balcony, Leah tugged at the suit, but stayed confident beside Kara, "Hello, Ms. Grant."
Cat stood up, surprised to see Captain Marvel beside Supergirl, seeing a resemblance between the two, "You know, if you would just give me your cell phone number, I wouldn't have to do so much back-channeling." Her eyes trail back to Captain Marvel, "And what a non-surprise to see that you work alongside Supergirl. Now, you want to catch Livewire, so do I. I can draw her out, but then we'll have to work together. What do you say? Partners?"
Leah smiled at her mother, "Sounds like a plan."
The two Kryptonians flew to the DEO, to see Katie in an agent suit, "Katie?"
"They're teaching me how to fight, apparently I'm a metahuman with solar manipulation powers. So now I get to learn about fighting." Katie smiles, "Looks like we get to work together with two jobs now."
Hank Henshaw stared at Leah in the suit, "I told you to tell me if you had more family. Welcome to the team Miss Grant."
Alex walked forward placing the device on the table, "This is what you'll need."
"Lightning in a bottle."
"Or, technically, lightning in a portable industrial capacitor."
"Get it underneath her, spring it open and close it. The electricity running through will be drawn inside. She'll be temporarily broken down on the atomic level, at least until we can get her into permanent containment."

"Cool." Katie stares at the device, "Like Ghostbusters."
Kara picked up the small metal device in her hands, "Sounds like a plan."
"You gonna tell us where you're going?" Alex questions, staring at her sister.
"This is between us." Kara looked at Leah, "Miss Grant and Livewire."
"Based on the amount of power she's consumed, there is a very real chance that she's gonna be strong enough..."
"To hurt us." Leah pokes in.
"Kara, Leah, she can kill you."
Leah gulped down nervously, "We'll be fine, Kara will be fine."

"Citizens of National City, this is Cat Grant, broadcasting live from Catco Plaza, which despite a vicious attack yesterday, is still open for business. This message is for the person behind that attack. Leslie, if you are hearing this, your grudge is with me, not National City, so let's not see if we can't come to an agreement. Let's meet... Where it all began, as they say. I'm not one to look back, but it just feels right this time."
"We'll keep you safe mo-Ms. Grant." Leah says, correcting herself.
Cat turned to her, "I know you will, Captain Marvel."
Leah and Kara landed when they saw Livewire attack Cat, "LESLIE!"
"Captain Marvel." Leslie laughs loudly, "Another wanna be superhero. Your 15 minutes are up, you boring, weak..."
"Oh shut up you bitch!" Leah flew forward going after Livewire but was stopped by electricity, making her hit a car. Kara ran over, ducking under Leslie's fist, and punching her, Leslie turned back into electricity, hiding into a post lamp.
Leslie came out of the lamp behind them, Leah stood up, yelling out in pain when Livewire wrapped her body with electrical whips. It went around her neck, pulling Leah forward. She used this to her advantage and punched Leslie.
Kara took this as a chance to activate the device, but Leslie noticed and broke it before it could work. "Nice try." She sent electricity towards the two heroes, "I wonder if I have enough power to stop your hearts."
"Leslie! Leslie, don't do this!"
Leah grunts, using her vision to look into the ground, seeing a water pipe below us. She groaned, "Supergirl, the grou-"
"You're better than this. You are Leslie Willis."
"If it makes you feel better I'll always give you credit for giving me my start. And finishing you off."
Kara punched into the cement, breaking the water pipe to use against Livewire, she pulled it up and aimed the water her way. Sparks flew as Livewire screamed out in pain before dropping to the ground.
Leah stood up, wiping the water from her face, "Water and electricity, never a good match."
"Thanks for your help," Kara says, looking over at Cat.
"Oh, you're welcome, Supergirl, Captain Marvel."
Leah smiles at her mother, picking Livewire up, they flew over to the DEO dropping her off.
♕~♕~♕~♕~♕
Katie smiles as Kara drops containers in front of her and her brother. "Okay. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato, and three slices of pie. Payment in full for putting up with my crazy family."
"Thanks." Katie lifted the food, catching the vital bracelet on her wrist, she coughed putting her wrist down. She saw Leah, "Hey, I'll talk with you later."
Leah put the paperwork down, "Heya."
"Look at the new superhero in town." Katie pointed at the screen, it was a photo of both Supergirl and Captain Marvel next to each other, "Everyone's taken a liking to you."
Leah released a laugh, "And they'll be getting a third one soon."
Katie smiled, leaning against the wall, "Totally, can't wait to hear the name Cat Grant gives me."
"Probably something you won't like."
Katie taps her foot against the ground, "Kara grew to love her name, and you seem to enjoy yours. When the time comes I'll love mine."
"Can't wait to see that time come."
Her watch beeped, "Training calls, guess that time might be soon."

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.
