Kara Danvers' Apartment. National City. Earth 38, October 8th, 2015
one year later
Kara opened the door to find a very annoyed J'onn standing there, glaring at her.
"Good morning," she said brightly, waving him in. She walked over to the kitchen and pulled down a package of Chocos and a glass, which she filled with milk.
"You do realize that the DEO is not eHarmony for aliens, right?"
"Compatible Partners," Kara said as she took a bite out of her pre-breakfast bagel.
"What?" J'onn asked as he picked up a cookie and dunked in the milk.
"eHarmony only does listings for straight people. Compatible Partners is the one for Gays and Lesbians. Besides, I use-"
"I don't care what you use. This arrangement is not so you can get your dates".
Kara sighed. "J'onn, I am not *dating* Maggie Sawyer. We're just friends".
"Oh, so you're not meeting her tonight at some place called GirlBar?"
"Well, yes, I am. But I don't date women who are still heartbroken over their ex-girlfriends. Think of it as recruitment".
J'onn help up his finger and started to say something, then stopped. He started to speak again, but stopped, before finally just shaking his head. "First you wanted me to do a full security clearance on that little computer nerd. Now this. How does any of this help us with your friends from Fort Rozz?"
"Winn helps because Winn is one of only six or seven hackers on the planet that can go toe to toe with a Coluan and come out on top, and unless you've suddenly managed to convince Victor Stone, Felicity Smoke or Rabiah Zinoman to sign up, we don't have a lot of other options, because Tim Drake and Barbara Gordon are seriously no-fly zones and the other two people who could potentially pull this off are definitely not on our side. Maggie Sawyer, on the other hand, will give us an in with NCPD, which is going to be incredibly useful when it comes time to lay the smack down on Maxwell Lord".
"You know, you keep talking like you're in this fight, but so far, all you've done is sit on the sidelines and feed us a few names."
"You're mad about the armored car last night," Kara said.
"You're damn right I am. Two agents in the hospital. One of them may never walk again. You could have stopped it, but instead, you're fetching coffee for some-"
"Don't finish that sentence, J'onn," Kara said. "You know nothing about Cat Grant and as much as I like you, if you insult her in front of me, I will put your green ass through a wall".
J'onn sighed and held up his hands in surrender, "Fine."
"Besides, you're every bit as capable as I am, and you didn't do anything to stop it either. We both have our reasons for keeping secrets".
"Yeah, but your case is a little different".
"It is," Kara said. "But it would expose me while the leader of the escapees was away. If that happened, there would have been open war in the streets".
