The Daxam Four (Legends of Superflarrow)

Chapter Ten

Last day of classes, and next week comes finals and a lot of packing to do. There might not be another update for a while!

Mostly a few key conversations here, but there's a bit at the end that some of you have probably been expecting for a while.

Enjoy!

Kara finished tying her hair up in a ponytail, adjusting the glasses she wore. "Thanks again, Caitlin," she said.

"No problem," Caitlin smiled. "We always keep extra clothes here in case we spend the night."

"Maybe I can drop by my apartment back on Earth-38 and bring some of my clothes over," Kara mused.

"That's if you want to make Oliver more worked up than he already is," Sara said dryly.

"He's not already?" Kara raised an eyebrow.

Sara snorted. "Oh, he is already. You'll just take it to new levels if you so much as leave his sight."

Kara sighed, turning around and folding her arms. "I don't need to be watched like a hawk. I can take care of myself."

"Kara, what we've learned of your Earth so far is that there are a bunch of aliens who want to kill you, and said aliens left you a bleeding mess," Sara raised an eyebrow. "I think we have a right to worry."

Kara fiddled with her glasses slightly. "I know," she admitted. "I'm just thinking of J'onn and James . . . " She swallowed. "Lena . . . "

"What about them?" Sara tilted her head.

"J'onn probably knows we're here," Kara paced the room, Sara and Caitlin watching her. "James . . . maybe, but he's got all of CatCo to look after." She groaned, closing her eyes. "Lena's got to have figured out I'm Supergirl by now."

"She didn't know?" Caitlin's eyebrows shot up.

"No," Kara shook her head. "I never told her. It's just . . . " She sat down across from Sara, rubbing her forehead. "Luthors are known for their hatred of Supers. In her brother's case, he tried to kill my cousin. Her mother runs an organization called Project Cadmus, an anti-alien terrorist group that separated from the government."

"And Lena?" Caitlin asked tentatively.

"We're friends," Kara said simply. "She's not her brother, and she's certainly not her mother. She's proved herself to be trustworthy, but it would have been dangerous to tell her who I was."

"Even when so many others know who you are?" Sara asked.

Kara snorted. "I was told all my life to hide my powers, to keep myself out of danger. Alex is my adoptive sister, of course she knows I'm Kryptonian. J'onn knew because my adoptive father told him about me. I didn't tell James, Clark did. I knew Winn for a long time before I ever told him, and I had to jump off the top of CatCo to convince him."

"You jumped off your work building," Caitlin gaped.

"Oh, it was fine," Kara waved it off. "I wasn't going to die. Look, the only reason I started being Supergirl was when Alex's plane nearly crashed. The more people who know who I am, the more in danger they are. Lena has been trying to clean up the Luthor name while dealing with her mother and Cadmus. Lillian could use Lena as leverage, and Rao, Lena doesn't need that." She slumped, rubbing her temples. "Oh, I'm going to have to go to so many brunches to make it up to her."

"We'll make sure you get to them," Sara grinned.

"Thanks," Kara giggled.

There was a knock on the doorframe, and all three looked up to see Oliver look in. "We got the team mostly figured out," he told Sara.
