Chapter 34

AN: Well, I have nothing to say except group chats are crazy, hearing voices sucks, and mental hospitals suck even more.

Kara Danvers/Alex Danvers

People passed things by in Star City without so much as paying them a second glance.

No one even batted an eye when there was a flash of blue and grey from one of the alleys, and a few seconds later, two women walked out of the same alley, both with duffel bags. "So, not the loft, then," Alex noted, looking around.

"Extrapolator usually takes me to where I need to be," Kara frowned, looking at the device in her hand before slipping it into her pocket.

"Extrapolators are fuuuuunnnn!" Rebecca said as Laurel tried to get her to sit down.

"Must mean we need to be . . . well, wherever we are." She raised a hand over her eyes, looking around. "Not too far from City Hall, looks like."

"OK, so does that mean you need to be at City Hall?" Alex asked.

"Maybe," Kara walked over to the crosswalk. "Though I doubt Slade's going to walk in and not get shot at . . . "

Ollie snorted and said, "Oh yeah, he would have been shot."

She stopped when she saw who was walking down the steps and sighed. "Oh, great."

"What?" Alex frowned, walking up to her, seeing the woman. "Who's that?"

"That is Councilwoman Pollard," Kara answered. "She introduced the anti-vigilante legislation that is now up for public vote."

"BOOOO!!"

"Sit down."

"Oh," Alex nodded in understanding. "Which would put Team Arrow in a bit of a bind."

"Yeah," Kara nodded. "Oh! There's Dinah."

The lieutenant ran down the steps, catching up to the woman. "Ms. Pollard!" she called, making the woman stop. "Captain wanted you to see the latest CompStat."

"Thanks, Lieutenant," Pollard nodded, taking the file she offered.

Kara and Alex started across the street, then Kara paused, hearing a click. "Kara?" Alex frowned.

"Yeah, she's about to be shot."

"Go!" Kara pointed across the street, whipping off her glasses. "Go!"

Alex burst across the street, reaching into her jacket for her gun. "Dinah!" she shouted, making the lieutenant look up.

"Alex?" Dinah asked in surprise.

Alex twisted to see where Kara had gone when a reflection of light caught her eye. It was from a window across the street, and Alex put on another burst of speed. "Sniper!" she yelled.

"Good eye," Sara said.

Dinah reacted instantly, diving for Pollard and grabbing her, pulling her behind a subway sign. It was just in time, as Alex had to duck behind a table to avoid being shot. Officers all around were responding to her cry, drawing their own guns as Dinah pulled hers out. Kara reappeared a second later in her suit, flying civilians out of the way before starting to catch the bullets flying towards police officers. She looked at them in her hands before tossing them onto the ground in disgust. She turned and looked towards the building the shots had come from, using her x-ray vision.

There wasn't anyone there anymore.

She growled in frustration, looking around. "Is everyone OK?" she shouted.

She heard calls of confirmation all around, then turned to look as Alex and Dinah ran out, guns aimed and ready. "Who was that?" Alex asked.

"I don't know," Kara shook her head, looking back at the building. "He got away."

Dinah sighed, then turned to her. "Thanks for your help." She smirked. "Supergirl."

"Always a pleasure, Lieutenant," Kara said cheekily before stepping to the side and giving a small bow to Pollard, who looked stunned to see her. "I'm glad you're safe, Councilwoman."

"Thank you," she stammered out.

"She looks like she swallowed a lemon," Rebecca said.

"I am not a jungle gym Becca," Malcolm said as she climbed on his back.

"Yeah you are," Rebecca said, smiling as Malcolm didn't say anything.

Kara gave a small salute before leaping into the air and flying off. Alex and Dinah watched her go before Dinah chuckled. "Showoff."

"Hey! Rude!"

"I mean, people with kryptonian powers, can be showoffs sometimes- ow! Mia! I didn't say you!" Will said, wincing as Moira hit him on the shoulder.

"You were looking right at me!" Moira said.

"Well, she hasn't had the chance to be Supergirl for a few days now," Alex shrugged, holstering her gun. "Probably feels good to get the chance to be her again."

"I bet," Dinah nodded before smiling at her. "Welcome back to Star City, Alex."

"Thanks," Alex smiled, giving the cop a hug. "Good to be back."

"REBECCA! Do I need to kick you out?" Laurel said.

"Girl, your mom is pissed," Rose said, looking towards where Rebecca was a few seconds ago. "Dammit! Stop doing that!"

"How often does she do that?" Oliver asked.

"About as often as Rose does- dammit!" Alex said as she looked next to her and saw Rose gone.

"My kids are gone too," Ollie said.

"Even William?"

"Even William."

"This could end badly. Rebecca is really hyper, and Rose will give into anything she wants to do," Laurel said.

"Really? She seemed like she would say no to anything Rebecca said to antagonize her."

"Yeah, she seems like that. In reality, unless it's dangerous, all Rebecca has to do is ask, and Rose and Alura are right behind her. Usually with Moira and Nora. Sometimes with William and Ruby," Laurel said.

"I didn't even realize Ruby left with William."

"Well, nothing we can do. We don't fit in the vents."

"Neither do we," Will's voice came over the intercom.

"Yeah, it's really only Rose and Rebecca who fit in there, and know what the layout of the vents are," Ru's voice also came over the intercom.

"How did you all manage to lose your kids?" That was Nora.

"Don't start with me Nora!" Laurel said.

"Anyway, we're gonna go cause havoc, bye mom!" Rebecca said, before turning off the intercom.

"We should probably go stop them," Alex said.

"Eh, if anyone asks, they never said anything to us," Laurel said.
