Supergirl - A New Earth to Save

Chapter 17

The next morning Alura left early to go to Metropolis. She still didn't let anyone know what her theory was, so they just had to wait until she got back. Kara had to go to work anyways. When she got to Catco she went to see James who was in his office talking to Lucy.

"So, how is it working at the DEO for J'onn?" Kara asked Lucy.

"I like it a lot better than being in charge." Lucy said.

"Well it is good to have you back full time. I know James is enjoying it." Kara said.

"Yeah it is good to be together again. Everything with Lena was just so toxic, so when I had the chance to get back together with Lucy, I had to take it." James said.

"So, what are y'all working on at the DEO today? Anything you need my help with?" Kara asked.

"Not as of right now but if something comes up, I will let you know." Lucy said.

Kara nodded and headed to her desk. When she got there, she saw that Nia was working on a story at her own desk. She walked over to Nia's desk and asked her "Hey, what are you working on today?"

"Oh, nothing much. I got put on a fashion article today. It not really my thing but I think it is coming along well. What do you have to work on today?" Nia asked.

"I have to do an article on the bank robberies that have been going on for the last couple of days. That should be fun." Kara said in a sarcastic tone.

Nia just laughed and said, "Well I guess we can't always have all of the good articles."

"You're right. At least I get to go out in the field for this one though. Guess I better get to it." Kara said.

Kara walked back to James' office and saw that Lucy had left. She knocked on the door and said "When I got to my desk my assignment was laying there. It is about the bank robberies from the past couple of days. You interested in tagging along for some pictures for the article?" Kara asked.

"Sure, give me a minute to finish with these pictures I am looking at then I will be ready." James said.

Kara nodded and walked in to see what he was working on. When she got to where she could see his computer, she saw that the pictures were of all of the heroes helping out during the Daxumite attack.

"How did you get these pictures when you were out there fighting with us?" Kara asked.

"When I had finished with all of the Daxumites that were around me I took a few pictures before I went to help all of the others. I had a minute or two to take advantage of." James said.

Kara nodded and when he was done James said "All done. I am ready to leave when you are."

They left the office and got to the first bank that was on their list. The police were there looking for evidence in the robbery. Kara walked up to one of the policemen and asked, "So have you found anything interesting?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Looks like it was humans. Found a lot of bullets on the ground. No hostages were hurt. About $100,000 taken. That's about all that we know right now." The policeman said.

"Ok, thanks for your time." Kara said and then James got a few pictures of the scene for the article. They then decided to go to the other two backs and got information from the police as well. They then headed back to the office so that Kara could write about what she had so far.

While Kara was working on her article, she was also listening for anything that sounded like a bank robbery so that she could help get these thieves off the street. When she was done with her article, she went to see how Nia's article was coming.

"So, you look like you are coming along pretty well with your article." Kara said.

"Yeah, I am about done and then I can turn it in and be done for the day. How is yours coming?" Nia asked.

"Pretty good. I just have a few finishing touches to put on it." Kara said and Nia nodded.

As Kara was walking back to her desk, she heard what sounded like a robbery going on and she turned to Nia and asked, "How do you feel about going to help me stop a robbery?"

"I am in. I haven't been out in the field for a while." Nia said and Kara nodded and they both headed for the elevator so they could get to the roof. Once they were there, they both used their rings and their suits appeared and then Kara grabbed Nia's hand and took off toward the back.

When they got there, they saw that is was a four-man crew. Three on the inside and one in the car ready to be the getaway driver.

"You take care of the driver. I will take care of the rest." Kara said and Nia nodded.

Nia went to the car and knocked the guy out and tied him up so that he could not get away. She then went inside and caught the end of Kara's fight with her last thief as he was trying to shoot her, but it was not causing her any harm. Kara finally got to the guy and knocked him out and tied him up while Nia was taking care of the other guys.

When they were done, they flew back to Catco and finished up their articles. Kara had to add to the story how Supergirl and Dreamer were there to finally take down the thieves and then she sent the article to Snapper.

"I will see you tomorrow Nia. I got to go to the DEO for a little while." Kara said.

"Yeah I will see you tomorrow." Nia said.

Kara went to the roof again and changed into her suit and head to the DEO. When she got there, she saw her mom and Alex looking at some blood samples and she heard the last thing that Alex said to her mom which was "The two blood samples show that the people you took the blood from are siblings. Who did you get this from again?"

"Wait for Kara to get here and I will tell you both." Alura said.

"I am here. So, what is going on mom?" Kara asked.

"It was just as I thought. When you look at your friend Sam, does she look like someone you have seen before on Krypton?" Alura asked.

"Now that you mention it, she does kind of look like" Kara couldn't finish that sentence because this information was blowing her mind.

"Oh my God! Are you saying that Sam and Kal-El are brother and sister?" Kara asked.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying." Alura said.

"But how is that possible?" Alex asked.

"They were twins. When they were taken to the Nursery at the hospital when they were born, someone came in and stole a baby. It happened to be one of the twins. Now we know what happened to her. She was kidnapped by Selina and her group." Alura said.

"Wow! That is a lot to take in. How come I never knew this?" Kara asked.

"You were young and wouldn't have understood. But once the police didn't find any traces of her, they just let the case go cold and your aunt and uncle knew that there wasn't much for them to do so they didn't want to burden you with that knowledge. Not long after we sent both you and Kal-El to earth and there was absolutely no reason to tell you then. I now see that you probably could have handled it. I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Alura said.

"It's ok mom I understand. We need to get Kal and Sam together so that they can meet and also once we get rid of the Reign part of Sam, she might want to join our team or either go join Kal." Kara said and Alura nodded.

"Let's call them both tomorrow and we can set up a time for them to meet. Let's go home it is getting late." Alura said and both Kara and Alex nodded as they were ready to go home as well.
