Cat Grant was currently finishing up her work at Catco Worldwide Media for the day while still trying to figure out how to build the same kind of relationship with National City's new superhero, Supergirl, that the Daily Planet seemed to have with Superman. She knew that if she wanted Catco to continue to thrive in the current world, she needed to cultivate a working relationship with their new hero.
However, it was almost like the universe was listening to her thoughts when she heard a bark from her balcony and turned to see Supergirl sitting on it with what looked like a note in his mouth.
"Huh, now that is this?" Cat asked with a smile as she went over and took the note from the dog and read it.
Come to the roof now S.G.
Cat grinned, since she knew there was only one person who could've sent this note, so she quickly grabbed her phone and headed up to the roof of the Catco building.
When she arrived, she smiled when she saw the girl of steel hovering overhead.
"I hear you've been wanting to speak with me." Supergirl said with a smile as Superdog floated to her side.
"You could say that. I've been trying to get your attention for an interview, since people have a lot of questions about you. Starting with, do you like the name I gave you?" Cat asked and Supergirl grinned.
"I like it. Superwoman feels too old for me." Supergirl said and Cat grinned.
"Which is exactly why I didn't pick that as your name. But now, I have about a dozen other questions for you." Cat said.
"And I'll start by answering what I'm sure is your prominent question, which I'm assuming is what my connection to Superman is?" Supergirl asked.
"Got it in one." Cat said, not surprised that she'd guess that.
"Superman is my cousin. His father was my father's brother and I'm actually older than he is." Supergirl said.
"Really, you don't look it." Cat said.
"That's because my pod was knocked off course by the shockwave caused by the destruction of our home planet Krypton. The shockwave knocked my pod of course into a region of space where time doesn't pass, where I drifted aimlessly for decades until my pod's navigation system somehow detected a meteorite and latched onto it and used the meteor to pull my pod back into regular space, causing it to reboot and make the journey to earth." Supergirl explained.
"Why reveal yourself now?" Cat asked.
"Simply put, I didn't think the world needed me until now. After all, it already has Superman. But then I realized that not even Superman can be everywhere at once. I thought it was time to reveal myself to the world." Supergirl answered.
"Is there a Mr. Supergirl in your life at this time?" Cat asked and Supergirl rolled her eyes at that.
"Why would I tell you that? I didn't come here for a gossip story. I came here to give you the exclusive I know you wanted. And besides, it's not like that's any of your business." Supergirl said.
"Gotcha, Supergirl is super single." Cat said and Supergirl rolled her eyes at that.
"Fine." Supergirl said.
"Where did the dog come from?" Cat now asked.
"He's my pet dog from Krypton. The only thing I have left from my home planet." Supergirl said.
"Really, I didn't know Krypton had pets similar to Earth's?" Cat asked.
"Dogs were the only ones." Supergirl said as she answered a few more questions from Cat before satisfying the reporter and flying off.
"Hey, I just read the interview you gave to Catco." Lena said to Kara when she entered Kara's office a few days later.
"Yeah, I have to admit, it's kind of weird to have to act like I didn't already know Cat Grant when I gave that interview, since I have met her at a few functions in National City and I have given interviews to her before as Kara Danvers." Kara said.
"Speaking of, did you hear about the Gala Cat's throwing over the release of the Supergirl interview?" Lena asked.
"I already got an invite for it this morning. It's gonna be weird going to a party that's technically about me when I can't tell anyone about that." Kara said and Lena chuckled.
"I bet. But you don't have to go." Lena said.
"And how would that look, since I'm one of Catco's biggest contributors, hell, I might as well be on its board of directors. Besides, I have a history of attending events like this." Kara said.
"Fair point." Lena said.
"Are you going?" Kara asked.
"Sadly I am not on any of those lists yet, since not only am I not the CEO of Luthor Corp, but being a Luthor means that I'm not on those lists anymore." Lena said.
"Well, then I guess it's a good thing I'm allowed to bring a guest, since this a good way for you to start proving to the city that you're not like the rest of your family." Kara said.
"Wait, are you serious?" Lena asked.
"Yeah, I am. Besides, I could use you to run interference for me in the event that I need to make an exit." Kara said.
"Thank you Kara." Lena said, right as Kara's phone rang.
"Alex, what is it?" Kara asked.
"Turn on the news right now." Alex said as Kara did exactly that to see a news report of a man wearing a familiar armored suit floating in the sky and she saw the headline.
"Reactron comes to National City."
"Looks like my interview brought one of Superman's enemies to my doorstep." Kara said with a sigh.
"You gonna call him in? After all, I lived in Metropolis when Superman and Reactron fought, it never ended well and was always a stalemate. He nearly killed your cousin once. He's probably using you to get to him." Lena said.
"Of course he is, but I'm not going to just call in Superman when I just made a statement as Supergirl. Besides, I'm tougher than I look. Avery, clear my schedule until further notice." Kara said that last bit to her assistant over the PA system before activating her suit and flying out of her office to face Reactron.
