Chapter 13

Kate was working late in her office when she heard a gust of wind behind her and turned to see Supergirl, flying outside her window and then turned off the security cameras in her office.

"I was wondering when I'd be seeing you again." Kate said with a smile as she gestured for Kara to come in.

"Hey, well this is definitely better than the last time we first met." Kara said and Kate smiled.

"I'm going to do something I really do. Offer you a hug." Kate said with a smile as she and Kara hugged.

"Speaking of the first time we met, have you looked into John Deegan at all?" Kara asked.

"A bit, but so far I haven't been able to find any proof of what he's up to." Kate said.

"Great. I'm sure Barry and Oliver will be thrilled to hear that." Kara said.

"So, what brings you here? I know that it wasn't just to say hi." Kate said and Kara smiled.

"First off, remember my friend J'onn?" Kara asked.

"The martian, yeah, why?" Kate asked.

"Novu brought him here and his powers can be used to restore people's memories of the old world. I was wondering if you had anyone that you wanted to have the memories restored." Kara said.

"My friend Luke. He's my tech support and it would definitely help if he knew why I trust you and others so much." Kate said.

"I'll call J'onn, have him come out here and restore Luke's mind." Kara said.

"Should I be worried about you making a move on him? After all, you did say Luke was cute on Earth 99." Kate said.

"Oh god you are never going to let me live that down are you?" Kara groaned.

"Not likely." Kate said.

"But no, you will not have to worry about it, since I'm actually dating Ray in this universe." Kara said.

"Ray Palmer. Nice." Kate said.

"Yeah, he's a great guy and he's also the one who's making it possible for me to start my own newspaper, since I quit my job as Cat Grant's assistant in this universe." Kara said.

"I thought you were a reporter." Kate asked.

"I am, but apparently that got undone when we rebooted the universe, so I quit my job and now I'm starting my own national media firm. Which is another reason I'm here." Kara said.

"What do you mean?" Kate asked.

"I was hoping I could get an exclusive with Batwoman. I mean every media outlet in the country is going to be trying to get it, so I thought I'd use my personal connections to try and get it first." Kara said.

"Well, you are the only reporter I know I can trust to get the story right. So yes, but we'll have to do it now." Kate said.

"Fine with me. But first, let me call J'onn to have him restore Luke's mind." Kara said and Kate nodded.

"Okay, so that brain dump was unpleasant." Luke said the next morning when he entered Kate's office.

"Hey, at least you got to meet a real life martian." Kate smirked.

"True. I can scratch that off my bucket list from both this universe and the old one." Luke said and Kate rolled her eyes.

"Well, while you slept that headache off, I did an interview with Kara Danvers." Kate said.

"Wait what?" Luke asked as Kate turned her computer for Luke to see.

"Kara's a friend and I wanted to help her expand her media brand, which is why, since I technically own Wayne Enterprises in Bruce's absence, I've invested in her blog, since she's trying to turn it into a real media firm. I figure this way we can get some free advertising out there for Gotham Pride Real Estate, along with Wayne Enterprise's other subsidiaries and who knows, maybe someday we'll even manage to rebuild the company." Kate said and Luke nodded.

"Wow, you actually sound like a real business woman. What's next, you're gonna start wearing suits to work?" Luke asked.

"Be careful or else your next job will be at tech village and I hear that's hell." Kate said.

"Consider me warned." Luke promised.

"Good. And now that you've remembered everything, maybe you could help me figure out how to keep certain events from repeating." Kate said.

"Well, for starters, you've got the advantage of knowing exactly what Alice is going to do before she does it. You now control the board." Luke said.

"Except I still don't think we know her endgame yet." Kate said.

"And now that we know what she's planning so far, we can get ahead of her so we never have to find out. Kate, you can keep your stepmother from dying, your father from going to prison and your stepsister from hating you. Hell, you may even be able to get through to Beth, since I know you still believe that she's still in there under Alice's madness." Luke said.

"I do, but my priority is keeping the city safe. Which means sending her to Arkham as soon as I can." Kate said.

"But couldn't that be what she wants, since isn't Mouse still locked up in there?" Luke reminded her.

"I'll ask my dad to have Alice put in solitary. The fewer people there are around her, the better. Who knows, maybe over time, we can rehabilitate her, but for now, she's a threat and she needs to be treated like one. The reason she made it as far as she did in her plans is because I went easy on her. I'm not making that mistake again. She can't get me to feel guilty anymore, since I've already faced that guilt." Kate said.

"You sure about this? I mean, she is your sister." Luke said.

"Maybe, but I have to put the rest of my family first." Kate said and Luke nodded.

"Fair enough." Luke said.
