Chapter 115
Nia was so excited to show her little sister Sasha into her apartment, since Sasha was going to be staying with her while she had an interview for a spot at the National City Art Institute, since she was an expert artist and designer, since she'd made several key modifications to Nia's Dreamer costume and this would be a great way for Sasha to break into the design industry.
"Sasha." Nia said as she hugged her little sister before showing her inside.
"Hey Nia. It's so nice to be with the sister I actually like." Sasha said with a smile.
"So things with Maeve haven't gotten any better?" Nia asked.
"Worse. Did you know that she's actually started a campaign against Dreamer online?" Sasha asked.
"That's her?" Nia asked, since she'd seen the platform online a few times, but she'd never thought much about it, since all superheroes dealt with trolls online.
"Yep. Mom was pissed when she found out. Especially after Maeve nearly shoved me down the stairs when she saw how much I idolized the hero you've become." Sasha said.
"Maeve did what?" Nia asked furiously.
"One good thing about that though. The rush and shock from that caused me to do this." Sasha said as she held up her left hand and produced a small burst of dream energy from it.
"You have dream powers too? How is that possible? I thought only one member of our family got the powers in each generation?" Nia asked her, who shrugged.
"I have no idea. But while mom and dad were thrilled about it, it only made Maeve angrier. Mom said it's incredibly rare to the point of non-existent that more than one member of our family gets dream powers. And Maeve was not happy that she got skipped over again. That's part of why mom encouraged me to apply for the spot here. It would allow me to fully embrace my talents without Maeve's borderline psychotic behavior and let you train me like she trained you." Sasha said.
"Does that mean what I think it means?" Nia asked her.
"Yeah, I want to walk the path like you did. Work with heroes like Supergirl." Sasha said.
"I can arrange an intro for you with Supergirl if you want. But don't even think about putting on the supersuit I know you've already designed until after you complete a vigorous training course." Nia said, since none of the teenaged heroes were allowed in the field until after they completed a training regimen set up by their mentors.
"I know. But I just need to know that you believe in me?" Sasha asked and Nia smiled.
"Of course I believe in you sis. Just like you always believed in me. And when I'm done, we're gonna be a bit petty and rub our powers in Maeve's face." Nia said.
"Can't wait." Sasha said as she hugged her big sister.
The next day, while Sasha was at her interview, Nia asked Kara to meet her on the Island.
"Nia, can we make this quick, I have a board meeting to get to." Kara said.
"This will be quick, but honestly, I'm surprised that no one's tried to launch a coup against you considering how much time you spend away from the office." Nia said.
"I actually don't spend as much time away from the office thanks to superspeed and the fact that I've accepted that Supergirl doesn't need to respond to every single crime. Not with Dreamer on the scene, not to mention the DEO." Kara said, since it did allow her to focus time on her company.
"Still." Nia said.
"I built that company from the ground up. No one is stealing it from me. Especially since I've established connections with Atlantis and Hephaestia. We make way more than we spend." Kara said and Nia chuckled.
"Sounds about right." Nia said.
"Anyways, what did you want to talk about?" Kara asked.
"My younger sister, who I love more than anything and is staying with me for a while, has also developed the same powers as me." Nia said.
"I thought you said only one member of your family got dream powers in each generation?" Kara asked.
"Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. But anyways, I was hoping that there would be a spot on the team for her, considering the fact right now it's down to just you, me, Lena and Brainy at full time while Karen and Donna are part time and on leave for the summer, since Alex, Felicity, Zatanna, J'onn and M'gann have all left us." Nia said and Kara smiled.
"Of course. Once she passes training of course. We'll be putting her through your training course on a lower level." Kara said.
"Thank you." Nia said.
"And Nia, this is good for you too." Kara said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Nia asked.
"Taking on a protege is a big step towards becoming a member of the Justice League, since it shows an even greater level of responsibility and initiative. Especially considering how many leaguers have at least one protege. I have Powergirl, J'onn has Miss Martian, Clark has Superboy, Barry has Kid Flash, Bruce has Nightwing, Huntress and Robin, Oliver has Arsenal, Red Arrow, Silver Arrow and Wildcat, Diana has Darkstar and Wonder Girl, Kate has Batgirl and Bluebird, Arthur has Aqualad, Jefferson has Thunder, Lightning and Firestorm and I think that's all of them. And now, depending on how well you take to being a mentor, I might be able to put you up for a vote." Kara said.
"Thank you Kara. But really, I just want to keep my sister safe and make sure she can do this. And in the spirit of keeping my sister safe, there's something else I need your help with." Nia said.
"What is it and then we need to wrap this up because I have to go." Kara said.
"I need you to use your army of fancy expensive lawyers to press assault charges against my sister Maeve, who nearly pushed Sasha down the stairs when she found out that Sasha got powers too." Nia said.
"Done. But now I think we both need to get back to work." Kara said and Nia nodded.
