Kara's P.O.V.

I soared through the air as missiles flew past me. I glanced down and saw Iris slightly ahead of me on the ground as she dodged mines. Even though she could break her spine and recover in two or three hours I still can't help but worry she's going to hit a mine. Suddenly I hear Alex's voice in my ear "That's enough for now you too, get back to the D.E.O." she ordered, with that we rushed back, Iris getting there before me, per usual.

"Why do we have to go through all this training?" I asked my sister as I walked towards her. "It's just his thing, don't worry, it's took me a whole year of training before he let me out on field" she replied with a smile. "I'm really glad you're here Kara, I hated keeping this part of my life from you. You too Iris." Iris and I just smiled in response.

Once again I hear a voice in my ear, except thing time it's Winn doing his dorky "CALLING SUPERGIRL" voice. "Kara, there's a massive fire down at the National City Port, It's pretty bad, you should go" with a quick nod Iris and I ran to the location Winn gave us.

Iris started taking the sailors off the ship one by one and taking them to safety while I tried using my freeze breath to dim the flames. It wasn't working, in fact it's making it worse. Thinking on my feet, I made the decision to try and move the boat. I pushed and pushed until The clapping from the firefighters below echoed around the port. Suddenly, I heard a crack and realised I had ripped a hole in boat, from which crude oil was spilling. Crap.

"Miracle or Menses? That's what the people of National City are saying after Supergirl's slip up today. We also have word the streak that was there the night of the plane crash was also there today, could this streak also be an alien?"

I looked over at Iris as we stood in the elevator. She was trying her best not to point out the smell but only seconds later Winn did so. "I went from superhero to Eco-terrorist in a single bound!" "Kara, you're only one week into the superhero thing, you're gonna make mistakes! Like, remember that time you bought Cat tacos for lunch? " "Yea but I'm making mistakes in front of the whole world" Just then Iris but in "Kara, I've seen a lot worse. This." She said pointing to the TV's above us "Is just a blip"

We all turned our attention to the televisions; Maxwell Lorde. Ugh. "Forget Supergirl's lack of experience, I'm talking about the trouble she'll bring to National City. I mean look at Metropolis, since Superman's arrival a super-bad-guy war has been waged on that city. Their maintenance budgets have quadrupled. National City does not need Metropolises' problems!" I never liked Maxwell Lorde. "I mean, who cares what that guy thinks?" questioned Winn. "You do! Isn't Maxwell Lorde your personal hero" I snapped. "Yea, you're wearing one of his watches" added Iris. Not helping Iris. Not helping. "Well at least I'm not on the news!" smiled the young girl. "Yea, at least" I replied.

I use my super hearing to listen out for Cat, she's complaining about staying up drinking all night. "She's here" I say in a low tone walking towards her elevator. Winn turned to Iris "At least we know how she does that know" I could see Iris facepalm behind me "Dude I knew"

I used my heat vision to heat up Ms. Grant's coffee. The door opens and I hand her the hot beverage as she takes a sip. "It's hot..." she says surprised. "Just the way you like it" "Not a concern you showed till today. Content meeting. Two minutes. My office." demand the woman as I made my way back to my desk. Iris slipped over towards me "You used your heat vision, didn't you?" she asked. "Yup!" I replied sharply.

"I'm sure you've all heard about Supergirl's latest debacle, yes?" Cat asked to the room of reporters. "She made sure no one will surf National City for years, some hero." said one of the reporters. What an ass. "It was the Daily plants 5th top story on their homepage which annoys me because the daily planet already has a go to superhero and now their trying to steal mine. Now, when I branded her there was an implicit promise she would be at the minimum above average but in the past week she has proved herself to be #TerribleGirl" Iris glanced at me with a concerning look. I was about to speak when suddenly, I hear James speak "You know superman made allot of mistakes when he first started, at least she's saving lives" he stood up for me. "It is up to use to fix Supergirl's reputation and scoop the plant. That is why I want an Interview" I let out a suppressed laugh in the process. "Is something funny Kira?" asked Ms. Grant. Irish was eyeing me like I had another head. "Um no I just thought of this cat video I saw earlier. I'll send it to you... or not..." "Right well, I want a sit down with Supergirl and the streak and I want it by the end of the week, go go!"
