Lena's Homeless Sacrifice

Chapter 8 - Morning Panic

Kara wakes up early on the Saturday morning, just after 7AM. As Kara wakes, and gets her barring's on the world again, she recalls the events of the previous night, how she started off the evening in Veronica's club, before then saving the woman who was her 'slave', Stacy. Then after that, Kara remembers, of course, walking home and finding Krypto, and then the dog leading her to the injured Keiran, and how she flew her home and desperately called Alex for help. It wasn't a very pleasant evening to say the least. But Kara is just glad that Keiran is okay, and under her roof, where no harm can currently come to her. Kara just really hopes that she will be able to convince Keiran to stay longer, and not have her disappear again, like the last time when she brought her up to her office. Kara knows that it is likely that Keiran is in some trouble, as it is all very odd to her that Keiran has dyed her hair blonde, which isn't something homeless people usually see as a priority, unless they are hiding from someone. Of course, the thought does cross Kara's mind that maybe Keiran is hiding from the law or something, and is a criminal, but Kara quickly dismisses that. Kara may not have known Keiran long, or had many interactions with her, but she highly doubts that the woman is a criminal, trying to hide from law enforcement. Admittedly, Kara thinks that it would be pretty ironic if Keiran was hiding from the law, seeing as she basically fell right into Supergirl's lap.

Kara takes a few more moments to wake up, grabbing her phone and checking her emails. Even though it is a Saturday, work never stops for the CEO, and it is another reason why Kara is waking up so early, despite having a late night. The early morning situation is just brought on by the fact that Kara has trained her body clock to wake up early, so she can get a handle on some of her work for El-Corp. This of course, usually means that Kara at the very least does some work, seven days a week, much like most other CEOs. However, Kara has the privilege of being a CEO and owner of a company who has super powers. So, this means that Kara needs far less sleep than humans require, while at the same time, she can user her powers to read documents quickly and speed type things, making her life much, much easier. Kara actually thinks that if she didn't have her powers, she would be so busy with work that she really wouldn't have a personal life, much like most other CEOs. So, Kara is very thankful that she has her powers, as it allows her to spend time with her friends, or her sister, a few times a week.

After about half an hour, Kara puts her phone back down on her bedside table, having responded to several emails already, and then decides to get up. Kara walks over to her door, and considers grabbing her very expensive silk dressing gown, and then putting it on. However, as Kara is aware that she is not alone in her penthouse, she decides that it may be for the best if she wears something a bit less revealing. So instead, Kara just decides to get dressed into a pair of comfy jeans, and a baggy sweater, before then leaving her bedroom. As the Kryptonian walks down the corridor, that contains several guest bedrooms along it, she peaks her head inside both of the rooms which Alex and Keiran decided to sleep in the previous night. Thankfully, much to Kara's delight, Keiran is still fast asleep, with Krypto lying next to her on the bed, but the same can't be said for Alex. When Kara looks inside the room where Alex was sleeping, she can see that her sister is already gone, which Kara is kind of conflicted about. Kara's only conflicted about it because she would have preferred if her sister said goodbye to her, or sent her a text telling her she was leaving, but at the same time, Kara is glad that Alex has left, because that means that it is only her, Keiran and Krypto in the penthouse now. Kara just knows that her sister can be very intimating, and ask a lot of questions, even when people are uncomfortable and don't want to answer them, and Kara doesn't want to put Keiran through that. In fact, Keiran already got that side of Alex at the beginning of the week, when they found her resting outside of El-Corp.

Kara continues to walk down the corridor, heading for the stairs, but she then hears a noise behind her, causing her to quickly turn around, thinking that Keiran may have gotten up. However, when Kara turns around, she sees that Krypto has woken up, and is now following her, wagging his tail.
