Reincarnated as Supergirl (YJ / Kara Zor-El (Comics))

Chapter 62

Kara woke up feeling a lack of warmth between her arms. Eyes opening, she checked the bed for Kori, then she heard her lover in the kitchen and laid her head back on the pillow, releasing a long breath, a silly smile on her face.

Despite the drawn-out fight she had just been in, Kara felt utterly satisfied, all the stress of the planning and subsequent battle gone. She didn't even care about the backlash from her actions or the involvement of a Demon in the assault.

Yeah, she was sure she would meet Neron again, probably under even less pleasant circumstances. Kal would also want to have a talk again, and there were now two villains inside her base —Which were two people too many for her liking, even if they were neutralized— but, for the moment, she just felt... relaxed.

Regardless of what the future may hold, she had fulfilled her promise to Selina and dealt a strong blow against The Light, probably disrupting a significant number of their plans for a long time.

With Klarion still hurt, Lex busy with a PR crisis and their scapegoat group dealt with in such a permanent manner, she doubted they had half as much control over the underworld as they did in the original show.

Perhaps she should press her advantage, but she couldn't just go and punch the rest of her enemies, either because she didn't know where to find them or because it would cause an international incident to do so.

Also, a cornered animal always fought harder and, with how amoral some of her enemies could be, Kara really didn't want to see how far they could go.

There were things worse than Klarion Savage could contact if he felt pressed.

No, this last action had bought her time. Time to plan, develop, finally finish healing and fully establish herself on Earth. Her company was also just taking off and she was almost ready to move into the new house.

Hmmmm, thinking about it, perhaps she could lay low for a few days, sleep late and work from home. It would allow things to quiet down, give her time to rest and, to be perfectly honest, all this effort had left her mentally exhausted.

Kara may be able to enjoy going out sometimes, and she had a blast messing with people, but the truth was she was an introvert. She needed to recharge, spend a few days quietly working on her projects and away from too many people.

Mind made up, Kara pulled the sheets closer and turned aside, closing her eyes again.

"Meow."

Kara pulled the sheets closer, covering her head and pretending she hadn't heard anything.

"Meow," the soft cry came from closer up this time, from her nightstand. Kara remained immobile, she was sleeping in no matter what!

With a soft impact, she felt Dexter jumping on her waist, his tiny paws making their way up her shoulder until she could just feel the cat staring down at her face, then he meowed again.

Reluctantly cracking open an eye, Kara glared at her feline overlord. Couldn't he give her a rest?

As to be expected, defiance proved to be a mistake. Now that he knew she was awake, Dexter lifted a paw, extending his claws and slowly touching her cheek, then he did it again and again before releasing a much louder and drawn out cry.

With her resistance, his cute claws didn't hurt, but they were sharp enough to tickle her, making it almost impossible to ignore.

"Ample appreciation, Feline friend!" Kori said, floating into the room and landing a few meters from the bed with a plate in her hands. She gave the cat a nod and turned to smile at the sleepy Kryptonian. "Raise and emit light, Kara, I have done the making of breakfast!"
