Girlfriend from Another Universe

Work

Kara was so in so much excitement about having a little baby, that when she woke up at her usual time in the morning she had remembered two things. Work as Kara Danvers and work as Supergirl. Oh gosh! What in the hell was she going to do about everything? She had a million things running through her head as she got ready to get Cat Grant's usual and almost forgot her glasses.

She entered work with Cat's usual order, along with Cat's To Do list of what she needs to do today. Kara was prepared for Cat's To Do list for her. Kara walked past Winn and a white paper bag he had on his desk.

"Your latte with skim milk and danish, Miss Grant." Kara said as she entered her bosses office. Cat was deep into a document that was in her office, not noticing her assistant was in the room. Or so the blonde assistant thought. "Well, um, I'll go to my desk now I guess."

"Kira," Cat spoke up but may no eye contact with the girl. She reached down and pulled out from her tote bag a large bottle of water. "It's going to be hot inside all day. Be sure to drink this." She handed it, still not looking at the girl. "Here." She pulled out of her bag, too, a lollypop. "Suck on this once in a while."

Kara took the lollypop, a bit confused, thanked Cat and returned to her desk. "Well that was strange." Kara said as she sat down on the chair. Winn pushed his chair over to hers with the white paper bag in his hands.

"Glazed. Your favorite." He said and pulled out the doughnut.

"Thank you!" Kara said as she took it. She took one bite into the...most disgusting piece of glazed fried dough. Kara cringed at the thing and placed it down. Not unnoticed by Winn.

"Are you okay?" He asked Kara.

"Yeah, just that doughnut taste a bit off." Kara said. She took another from the bag, a chocolate one, and bit into that too. Nope, still gross. She went for a third, a powder one, and bit into it. Gross but Kara just forced it down so that Winn wouldn't suspect a thing. Yuck! Oh no! Baby doesn't like doughnuts? Ha ha, this is Barry and I's baby I hope. She was smiling at her own joke.

"Sure your okay?" Winn asked her, his eyebrow lifting up.

"Oh, yeah...I'm...fine." Kara said.

About an hour into work someone in the building turned up the volume on the television. There was an accident on the bridge, two buses both dangling off the edge of the bridge. One a regular bus for people to get around on, the second a bus filled with high school students on a trip.

Kara sneaked out of the filled room and into a corner bathroom that nobody used. She quickly stripped of her clothes and was in her Supergirl outfit. She jumped out of a broken window and flew off to where the bridge accident was.

Kara arrived at the bridge seconds later. She saw both of the buses were close to falling off the edge and hurried over to save them from falling over the edge.

The buses had fall over, everyone aboard each bus screaming in horror, just mere seconds away from hitting the water and awaiting their nightmares of drowning, when they felt a thud like feeling on the bus and all stopped screaming. They looked out the windows and saw their hero, Supergirl, holding onto the bottom of the front bumper of the bus. Kara pushed both buses back up and back onto the road in the center where the emergency respond people and civilians were waiting.

Just as Kara placed the buses on the ground, she heard from her super hearing the sound of a building caught on fire. Kara flew off in the direction of the building.

At the building Kara saw it was an apartment building. She heard the cries of families inside and hurried in just as fire men were spraying the building with the water. Inside one of the apartments was a young couple, over in a corner huddled together as the smokey smug was becoming a worse to inhale. Kara moved a few things around and reached the couple, taking them by their hands and then carrying them both out of the building.

Kara returned into the building, into a second apartment, to find a much older couple. Possibly their late seventies or early eighties. One of them was in a wheelchair while the other, Kara could see, depended on a walker to keep balance. Kara took the couple out first and then returned inside to grab the chair and the walker.

In the third apartment Kara found a young woman unconscious from the smoke. Kara took her and realized she was very pregnant. Kara took her out of the building and flew her down to one of the ambulances. She heard another family inside and hurried in. She found a young girl, no more than maybe nineteen, with a baby in her arms and her son, maybe about three years of age, huddled into the corner. The young girl hovered her body over the two youngest ones. Kara flew to them quickly.

"Hold both of them!" She said a bit loudly over the roaring fire and crying children. The girl nodded and took her son in her arms. Kara held the girl in her arms and carried her out as best as she could whilst the girl held her children.

Kara settled them down to the ground. She didn't hear anyone else in the building. She decided to do a quick skim around the city for any more danger. When she saw nothing, Kara returned home quickly to shower and get dressed for work again. Luckily she had the same outfit from this morning in her closet.

Kara was a bit surprised that nothing else happened that morning, at least for Supergirl work that is. Kara's work her herself was a bit strange. As soon as she had gotten back around noon with Cat's lunch that she picked up, a fruit salad with light dressing, Kara felt a bit dizzy in her head but she remained focused and got back to her desk. Surprisingly, there was a snack on the table for her. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, wheat bread and crusts taken off, with a pickle on the side.

"Winn?" Kara turned to her friend. "Did you see who left this here?"

"No, it was there when I came back to my desk about fifteen minutes ago." Winn told her. In a softer voice he said, "Crazy day, isn't it?"

"Ha. No kidding." Kara said, biting into the sandwich.

Today might have been a weird but laid back day, but Kara knew that these days were rare and probably wouldn't happen for a very, very long time. Especially with a smaller one on the way.
