Chapter 5: Chapter 3.1

Kara laid on the sofa with her new notebook on her lap searching for everything she could find about her cousin and earth's other heroes.

Thankfully she had already dismissed concerns of an Injustice or Justice Lords situation, she was also not in the universe from the movies, in fact the justice league had been formed for quite a few years already and had a very diverse cast, she also wasn't in the cartoon of justice league or justice league unlimited.

Her cousin seemed to be a well established hero having been active for a long time now, people suspected he was around 30 to 35 years old, she did find Clark Kent working at the daily planet as a reporter and a Lois Lane acting as his partner and, with flash still alive, she wasn't really concerned with his mentality, she just… didn't know how to approach him after so long being absent.

Instead she had spent her time establishing herself in the city, she had broken off pieces of her gold bars and sold them to different pawn shops for some immediate cash, then rented a loft for her and Kori to stay in and got some new clothes for them both.

Kori really came to like Amber and they both hang out together a lot of the time, they had even bought some bad superhero costumes and went out dressed like that despite Amber's shame so they could say they were cosplayers whenever Kori's skin color and hair were questioned, it worked surprisingly well, or at least seemed to since Kara couldn't find anything about her on the internet and no hero or villain had turned up on their door yet.

Kara had already spent a lot of time searching the internet for the known identities in the DC universe, Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Wally West, Selina Kyle, Lex Luthor and many others, not that she could remember everything about every character from DC but she did get a general idea of how things were.

Closing her notebook Kara left a message for Kori and put on some party clothes, then she opened the window and flew towards gotham city, she wanted to get herself fully established before contacting her cousin and the justice league, to cover all her bases and make some alternative options for herself, far too many people knew her cousin's weakness for her liking.

Using her improved senses to make sure she wasn't caught by anyone of the bat family or one of his deranged villains Kara dropped down on an alley and patted down her clothes making sure they were all in place, she was wearing a skin tight pair of jeans with knee length boots, a white tank top showing her midriff and a leather jacket.

Approaching the bouncer she gave him a smile and he waved her into the Tin Roof Club without even checking her ID, sometimes it paid to be a very hot woman, she'd never have gotten away with this in her previous life.

The club itself was full, Kara had to distract herself from her hearing so she could withstand the loud music, she walked aside to free the club entrance and then searched the room until she found Selina Kyle acting like a bartender in the other side of the room, she was even hotter than on her pictures so Kara could see how batman kept letting her escape.

Probably a case of hate letting her go but love watching her leave. The woman wore leather very well.

Squeezing through the full dance club proved very easy when one had super strength even if she had to slap a few male hands away leaving painful reminders to mind their manners or push away some females until she arrived at the bar "Hey baby wanna have some fun?" asked a young man sitting at the bar a little too drunk for his own good, Kara just shook her head but the inebriated guy didn't take the hint trying to warp an arm around her waist "Come on don't be like that"

Holding his arm with one hand Kara grabbed him by the shoulder and pinched painfully before lifting him from the chair and looking him in the eye "I think it's time you went home romeo"

The guy just grimaced and nodded his head furiously until she released him, Kara turned to see Selina giving her a curious look "I don't mind the looks or pickup lines but touching without my permission is a no no" then she sat down at the guy's place and smiled "Give me a neat Johnny walker"

"You sure you're allowed to drink?" she asked but was already grabbing a bottle and glass.

"I'm much older than I look"

Selina raised an eyebrow and challenged "And If I asked for some ID?"

"I'm afraid I don't have one of those, not yet at least" Selina's face turned much more serious at that, she poured the whiskey and handed her the cup but took some distance from her.

"I think you're in the wrong place for that kind of thing" she said, her eyes narrowed.

"Oh I don't really need or want an ID right now" Kara took a sip of the drink and grimaced, her kryptonian body stopped the drink from affecting her in any way, a pitty "But I do come with an offer you can't refuse"

"I don't know what you mean" Selina said, her voice hard, Kara's enhanced senses caught the barely concealed tension in her every muscle, she snorted.

"Sorry, sorry I just always wanted to say something like that, don't worry I won't hurt you"

"What makes you think you could"

"Oh I could, I really could, but I won't, I don't want my cousin to get mad at me when we finally meet" Kara looked down at her glass of whiskey and sighed at the tragedy, she would never be able to enjoy a good drink again, then she drained the glass entirely "What I really meant was an offer you won't refuse since money is not a problem"

"I believe you" Selina relaxed a little at that and just stared at her for almost a full minute, still out of balance at a stranger knowing who she was "I don't usually take jobs from anyone, it's more trouble than it's worth but you got me curious and that's always been a problem with a cat, stay here after the club closes and we can discuss things without any interruptions"

"Great, don't worry you won't regret it" sliding her glass back to Selina Kara got up from the bar and joined the dance floor.

As a man she had always though she looked stupid dancing but she did enjoy the attention she was getting, she spent quite a few hours just enjoying the music as she changed partners, she was forced to give painful pinches when guys got a little too happy with their hands and one got a very painful and private lesson when he insisted but she did enjoy her time as a whole, dancing with girls as often as guys until, finally, her chest started to hurt and she was forced to sit down despite not even having started to sweat, she'd have to spend more time sunbathing.

Half an hour latter and the club started to empty out, Selina joined her in the private stall leaving an employee to finish dealing with the bar "I'm surprised a little dancing wiped you out already"

Turning towards the woman Kara tapped the flower designs on her eyepatch. "Don't tell anybody but the eye is not the only thing I'm missing." Selina looked her over but didn't seem to notice her prosthetic leg, still she nodded.

"I see… still, I have to say you're acting awfully sure of yourself for someone without a reputation to back it up" she probed

"let's just say I'm new around here" Kara told her making small talk, she didn't really mind revealing things about herself, the only thing anyone could really use against her was her cousin and she'd like to see them try "Truth is I was supposed to come years earlier but I had an accident and couldn't make it"

"Must have been some accident then"

"Yes, a vehicle collision, I almost died"

"Club is closed, boss, do you need me for anything else?" asked a giant of a man

"No thanks Roberto, you're free to leave" Selina waited until the man locked the club's door behind himself before leaning over the table, her moves becoming more fluid and predatory "now tell me, what is this… job you're offering me"

"Have you ever seen hawkwoman and hawkman's maces?" Selina just made a motion with her hand indicating for her to go on "You may not be aware but they're made from a very rare and valuable metal called nth metal, it's originally only found on their home planet but over the years various small amounts have made their way here to earth, I need you to find and retrieve at least 200 grams of said metal"

"Hmm… and I suppose you don't know where I can find such metal?" she asked while tapping her nail against the table

"I have some Ideas but nothing certain" Kara thought about things and tried to remember anything else from the comics "It's quite possible an entire thanagarian ship crashed down on ancient egypt, it would be full of nth metal but I don't know what happened after that, Batman also has several knuckled made from the metal in his cave and Despero used large amounts of the metal once when he fought the entire league, after that the most likely place would be in the hawk couple's houses and their maces"

"You're not asking for much huh" she mocked sarcastically "Dealing with members of the league isn't easy"

"I understand that's why I'm willing to offer almost anything for it"

"Why almost?" Selina wondered out loud while dragging her nails on the table and narrowing her eyes.

"As I said before, my cousin wouldn't like me killing anyone and I don't really want to disappoint him but, short of that, any favor you ask I could probably do" Kara thought about it a little before completing "and as long as you accept precious metals I could pay any price you want"

"Hmmm… this metal must be very valuable then" selina wondered out loud.

"it's not the rarest nor the most powerful but yes it is very valuable" Kara leaned towards selina and used her own nail to tap the surface of the table but leaving holes that went all the way through "let me be clear here Selina, when I say I will pay any amount of money I really mean it, no need to offer it to others, no need to search for its true value just say your price and I will meet it"

"And if stealing it earned me some trouble?"

"I'll back you up, don't worry short of provoking Black Adam himself I should be able to deal with anything and worse comes to worse I can ask for my cousin's help… or leniency"

"You'll understand if I take some time to decide if I wanna take this job?"

"Of course, just try to not take too long" Kara replied and pulled out a small piece of paper with a pen from one of her pockets before writing her number on it "i guess we're done here for now?"

"One last question if you will, that's some claim you're making and I can see you're strong" Selina stared at the small holes in her table " how can I trust you're that much of a heavy hitter?"

Kara folded the piece of paper with her number and threw it at the table with a smile, she knew what she was about to do was a little over the top but she was in a world which had become a comic book to an alternate reality, she could indulge "Oh I'm sure you're aware I'd prefer to keep this between us Selina but I think I can convince you"

Then she slowly floated off her seat, her single eye glowing red with ominous heat she turned her head up and shoot a heat ray towards a window melting the glass completely before flying out through it, she rose up quickly using the cover of darkness to hide her body then made a parabola towards the european continent.
