New Earth: World's Finest

Chapter 1

Kate was surprised when she entered her office the next morning to find someone already waiting for her.

"You know, you should really consider adding some kind of protection to keep people from just flying into your balcony, since didn't you have an enemy who could fly?" Kara asked completely seriously and Kate just smiled.

"I didn't think you'd be coming in this soon." Kate said with a smile as she moved to hug Kara.

"And I didn't think you were a hugger." Kara said.

"Don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to maintain." Kate said and Kara smiled.

"Your secret is safe with me." Kara said.

"Good. So, where are you staying?" Kate asked.

"My boyfriend is checking us into a hotel, but I flew ahead." Kara said.

"Boyfriend." Kate said.

"We can talk about each other's personal lives after we've finished our business." Kara said and Kate nodded.

"Right this way ma'am." Kate said, slipping into fake business mode and Kara laughed as they sat down on opposite sides of Kate's desk.

"So, what exactly are you looking for?" Kate asked.

"A decent location, not too big, since I'm still on a bit of a budget, outside of your father's district, since it sounds like he is not someone I want to access to my company, but still in a relatively safe area." Kara said.

"I'll see what I can find." Kate said as Luke entered the office.

"Okay, uh, how did this woman get past security and why are you just sitting here with her?" Luke asked.

"Because I'm Supergirl." Kara said as she removed her glasses and Luke immediately saw the resemblance.

"Why didn't you tell me your BFF from National City was coming to visit?" Luke asked Kate.

"I didn't think she was coming for a few more days." Kate said.

"So, what brings the girl of steel to town?" Luke asked eagerly.

"Is he always like this?" Kara asked.

"You know nerds. I'm sure you have one of your own." Kate said.

"I do. He comes in the Winn model." Kara said and Kate laughed.

"Actually, I'm not here on hero business." Kara said.

"Really?" Luke asked.

"No she's not. She's here because she's opening the branch of her newspaper here in Gotham and I'm helping her find an office location." Kate said.

"Oh." Luke said mildly disappointed.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your chance to meet an alien soon enough. Though I was hoping that as long as I'm here, maybe there could be a Supergirl/Batwoman teamup." Kara said hopefully.

"Well, it couldn't hurt to have someone with superpowers help with my current problem." Kate said.

"What problem?" Kara asked.

"In this universe, my actual mom is alive, but the maniac I call my sister is holding her hostage. Long story. But the only way I can find my mom is if I find Alice, but so far, I haven't had any luck." Kate said.

"If you have a sample of her voice I can listen to? Once I know what she sounds like, I can use my super hearing to track her down." Kara said.

"Hold on a second." Kate said as she got on her computer and pulled up Alice's hostage video and played it.

"Got it. I'll see what I can find once we're done with our meeting." Kara said and Kate nodded as they resumed their discussion from before Luke interrupted it.
