Chapter 3

A few days later found Kara returning to her lavish penthouse in National City and she smiled when she heard the sound of four paws rushing towards her as a large white dog came rushing up to her.

"Hi Krypto." Kara said as she let go of her bags and dropped down on her knees in time for her beloved dog to jump on her and start licking her and Kara smiled, since Krypto was the one attachment she had left from her old life on Krypton, since he'd actually been her puppy all the way back then and he was kryptonian dog and just like her, he had kryptonian powers. The only reason he was with her was because she'd refused to leave Krypton without him, since if she couldn't have her parents with her, Kara had at least wanted her beloved dog with her and her parents had agreed, since they knew that Krypto would help provide Kara with comfort when she arrived on Earth and he'd actually been in her pod with her, which meant that he hadn't aged while in the phantom zone just like she hadn't. After they'd arrived on Earth, Krypto had become a kind of therapy animal for Kara at first, since he was the only thing she knew and loved at the time and since Alex had loved the idea of having a dog and seeing how upset Kara got at the idea of sending Krypto to live with Clark, Jeremiah and Eliza had allowed her to keep him on the condition that she helped him learn to control his powers just like she had to control hers and Kara had agreed and Krypto had quickly become a member of the Danvers family, though his only true loyalty was to Kara and he was incredibly protective of her, something that had already been apparent on Krypton, but was only intensified after they came to Earth and he got his powers. However, he had stayed in Midvale and let Eliza take care of him while Kara was at MIT, since there were no dogs allowed on campus since Krypto could no longer be considered a therapy dog after Kara had adapted to Earth. And after she'd moved to National City, she'd brought Krypto with her, since while school was one thing, there was no way she was moving across the country without her dog.

In fact, after she'd gotten rich, Kara had actually bought the building her penthouse was located in just to make sure that dogs would be allowed, though she had taken advantage of that to install the most advanced security systems her company had developed to keep the building safe, something all of it's tenants appreciated, especially since Kara hadn't changed their rents at all.

"Yeah, he missed you." Alex Danvers said with a smile at her little sister.

"Thank you for watching him." Kara said to her sister.

"Are you kidding, not only do I get to spend time with this guy, but it means I get to crash in your incredibly luxurious penthouse, you do not need to twist my arm about that." Alex said.

"You haven't been using my place to impress dates again have you?" Kara asked, only half kidding, since Alex had done that before.

"No, but considering how much nicer your place is compared to mine, can you blame me?" Alex asked, since it was true, Kara had not skimped on renovating this place to be designed by her specifically for her.

"No, but do you really think that anyone would believe that you live here, since this place isn't really your style." Kara pointed out.

"True, but that doesn't change how nice this place is." Alex said and she wasn't wrong, since Kara's penthouse took up the top two floors of her building and all of it was put to good use.

The first floor had Kara's kitchen, which was computerized and in addition to the actual kitchen table, she also had a bar table and chairs in it. Also on the first floor was a living room that had the best kind of entertainment system money could buy, though Kara hadn't actually needed to spend a dime on that part, since her smart tv was a new prototype for her company's entertainment division, the Argo XT Smart TV. This TV was a prototype that in addition to the traditional smart tv, it also had several gaming systems built into it, meaning that it did not require a console, that feature had required some extra long negotiations with the gaming companies to add that feature, which included cutting them in the profits once they put the device to market. Kara's living room was filled with expensive, yet comfortable furniture. The first floor also had a home gym, since while Kara didn't gain any weight no matter how much she ate on Earth, she had to at least give off the impression that she exercised to cover how fit she looked, along with a home office for her to handle company paperwork from, a laundry room and Krypto even had his own playroom filled with specially reinforced toys she'd developed for him, since while she sometimes brought him to work with her, she also wanted to make sure that he didn't get bored while she was gone.

The second floor of course had Kara's bedroom, with an en suite bathroom, along with 3 additional guest rooms, one of which had been Alex's designated room for when she stayed over to dog sit when Kara was out of town, since she was kind of Kara's designated dog sitter.

"True. And thank you again for watching him, I'm sure he was a good boy." Kara said as she hugged her sister.

"Of course. He's always well behaved when I watch him and I assume that there's some kind of present waiting for me at my apartment." Alex said, since Kara always did something to thank her for watching Krypto when she went out of town, since Alex wouldn't take her money.

"You'll just have to wait and see, but do you have some time to catch up before you need to go?" Kara asked.

"Yep, how was the reunion, did Felicity finally sign on?" Alex asked, since she'd met Felicity a few times when she'd visited Kara at MIT and she was a fan.

"I think she's genuinely considering it this time and she's not the only one of my classmates that I might be offering a job to." Kara said.

"Really, who else?" Alex asked as they sat down on the couch.

"Lena Luthor." Kara said.

"Really, the woman who's not only the sister of your cousin's greatest enemy, but also the girl who was your rival in college?" Alex asked.

"We made peace, though that might just be because Lex fired her for refusing to help in his insane plans." Kara said.

"Well, if you're willing to give her a chance, then so will I. So, aside from that, how was the reunion?" Alex asked.

"It was good. I won the most successful alumni award." Kara said and Alex chuckled.

"No surprise there considering all the other awards you have in your office." Alex said.

"Yeah I know, but still, I had to act humble." Kara said and Alex chuckled as they continued talking.
