Kara and Lena spent what they guessed were a few days in the Tower of Fate, since Kara was confident that between Alex and J'onn, National City could survive without her and she'd prepared redundancies at Argo Enterprises to ensure that the company could run smoothly in her absence, especially since she'd been grooming Avery for this exact thing, since while the young woman was only a secretary, she'd also practically become Kara's right hand at the company and the reason she'd kept Avery in her current position was so that she could better learn how to run it.

Anyways, Kara had just finished a call with Avery about how she and Lena would be gone a few more days, since they needed to attend the actual funeral for Lena's father and she looked over to what looked like a pub area to see Lena sitting with Abby and Zatanna and it looked like they were all having drinks and talking.

"Normally I'd disapprove of letting Zatanna drink, but considering the circumstances, I think we can make an exception." Kara said as she sat down next to Lena.

"Yeah, I mean my father just died, so I think I can get a pass this time. Besides, I'm 19, only two years under the legal age to drink." Zatanna said.

"She and Abby were telling me stories about my dad. I swear, some of the things they've told me, they almost don't seem possible." Lena said and Kara smiled as she was handed a glass of wine.

"Says the woman who's dating an alien." Zatanna said.

"Wait, an alien?" Abby asked as Lena looked at her sister in exasperation.

"Way to keep a secret, Zatanna." Lena said to her sister.

"Actually, I've had my suspicions since we met." Abby said.

"It's her mystic aura isn't it." Zatanna said.

"Exactly. It screams Kryptonian. As in, your sister is dating Supergirl." Abby said.

"And that doesn't leave this tower." Kara said.

"Don't worry, I'm good at keeping secrets, since I work for the Green Arrow." Abby said.

"Wait, what?" Lena asked.

"Yeah, he's real. And I think he knows Batman, though he won't tell me who he is." Abby said, even though Kara already knew who Batman was and now she was curious about who the Green Arrow was, though considering the timing of when he showed up, she had a guess.

"The Green Arrow wouldn't happen to be a certain rich guy who recently returned from being stranded on an island in the North China Sea would he?" Kara asked with a smirk as Lena's eyes widened.

"Wait, Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow?" Lena asked, since she'd actually met Oliver a few times growing up, since the Queens and the Luthors had run in the same circles and she couldn't imagine that rich frat boy as a hero.

"And now I have to tell him that Supergirl knows who he is." Abby said, annoyed.

"I've had my suspicions since the rumors about him started. Tell him that a good tip for keeping his secret is that he should've put off suiting up until enough time had passed following his return home. He started too soon. It's only a matter of time until other people put it together too." Kara said.

"I just hope he doesn't fire me." Abby said.

"If anything, he should be happy that you've secured Supergirl as an ally." Lena said and Kara nodded.

"From what my cousin's told me about Batman, having a hero like him and Green Arrow on my side could come in handy. But I think that we've gotten off track." Kara said, since she could tell that all of them were just using this as a way to avoid facing their grief, not that she blamed them. She wished it would've been that easy for her to avoid her grief about Krypton when she first landed on Earth, but literally everything around her had reminded her of the loss of her home. Well, everything besides Krypto that is.
