Chapter 8
This chapter will include another deviation from the traditional arrowverse. Also, my first post of 2019!
"I thought I made it clear that I don't answer to you Director Henshaw." Kara said as she entered the DEO regardless.
"Don't worry, I'll try to keep this from becoming a regular thing, but first off, I thought you'd like to know that I managed to cut your aunt a deal." Hank said and now Kara gave him her full attention.
"So what are the conditions?" Kara asked.
"Well first off, she has to work for the DEO full time, which she had no problems with. She also must wear a red sun brace at all times to dampen her powers for at least one year with good behavior unless the situation calls for her using her powers and finally, even after her year without her powers is up, she must spend a probationary period with a family member and you are her only living relative right now." Hank said.
"I don't really have room for her right now, but I'll see if I can find a place to put her up." Kara said and Hank nodded.
"Have you arrested the rest of her army yet?" Kara asked.
"By the time we arrived, Non and his army had left Fort Rozz. I guess they knew their secret base was no longer secret and we've been unsuccessful in tracking them down." Hank said.
"Why not just track their heat signatures?" Kara asked.
"What?" Hank asked.
"You do know that Kryptonians have different heat signatures then humans right. You could use thermal imaging to track their heat signatures." Kara said, once again making Hank feel stupid.
"How is it that you're good at noticing things we can't?" Hank asked.
"I'm an alien and I work at media firm." Kara said and Hank rolled his eyes.
"Well, thank you Supergirl." Hank said, right as her phone rang.
"Hello. Yeah, I'm on my way." Kara said.
"Who was that?" Hank asked.
"Star Labs, they're helping me and I'm using that place as my base. Apparently there's been a new meta appearance in the city. One that needs to be cooled down. Tell Aunt Astra I'll drop by later." Kara said and Hank nodded as she flew out.
When Supergirl arrived on the scene, she found that cars had crashed and people were running away from this meta and she could tell this meta wasn't attacking or anything evil. If anything, they were just scared and confused. It was likely their powers had just surfaced.
"It's okay, I won't hurt." Supergirl said cautiously as the person turned to her, her hands and entire upper arms were on fire and when she saw her face, Kara recognized her.
"Iris." Supergirl said under her breath.
"Please, help me." Iris begged, having no idea what was happening to her, but she was terrified.
"Calm down so I can cool you down." Supergirl said and Iris nodded as she tried to calm down, right as Supergirl hit her with her freeze breath, freezing her.
"I'll take you somewhere safe." Kara said before scooping Iris up in her arms and flying away, hoping that no one had seen her face.
"So wait, Iris West was the meta?" Cisco asked, wondering how that happened, since Iris hadn't been affected before.
"Yes, it appears that Ms. West's DNA has mutated to contain some sort of pyrokinetic ability. Interestingly enough though, her flames also seem to cause her cells to regenerate. It's fascinating, as if she's a." Wells said.
"Phoenix." Cisco said, since that was one he'd been saving for a long time.
"Hold up, I think that first we should help her learn to control this power before giving her a superhero name, since we don't even know if she'll want to be one." Kara said.
"Well, perhaps we should thaw her out." Dr. Wells said and Kara nodded as she used her heat vision to thaw Iris out.
"Wait, I'm in Star Labs?" Iris asked, since she recognized this place from visiting Barry.
"Yes Iris. I brought you here because this is also where I'm based out of." Kara said.
"Wait, how do you know my name?" Iris asked.
"Because we recognized you." Cisco said quickly, since they needed to make sure Iris was on board before Supergirl revealed her identity to her.
"So, why am I here? Are you arresting me for being a metahuman?" Iris asked nervously, since she'd seen the damage metas were doing to her city.
"No Iris, you're the first meta we've encountered who isn't trying to hurt people. We think that if you learn to use your powers, you can help us show the world that not all metahumans are evil." Kara said.
"What, become a superhero?" Iris asked, honestly interested.
"The world already knows that a new meta exists. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like anyone recognized you. Iris, I'm not gonna force you to be a hero, that's a choice you have to make, but I think you'd make a good one. The world may already have heroes, but it will always need people to help save it." Kara said.
"Do I get a cool name and costume?" Iris asked and Kara chuckled.
"Once you've gotten some training in, yes. And also, if we're going to be working together, I guess it's only fair I tell you my name." Kara said.
"And that is?" Iris asked.
"My real name is Kara. Kara Danvers." Kara said, much to Iris's surprise.
