Ok but imagine someone finds out that some journalist for a gossip website is writing an article on Kara and the DEO tries but they can’t get access to it and they’re all freaking out thinking it’s a Supergirl reveal and the article comes out titled ‘Who the hell is Kara Danvers?’ And it’s got a series of photos of her with Clark Kent and Lois Lane, her following after Cat Grant and interacting with Maxwell Lord. There are pictures from her college internship working at Wayne Enterprises – including candids of her eating lunch with the elusive Bruce Wayne himself. There’s a photo from years ago when she met Diana Prince while visiting Clark. A picture of her and Lena Luthor sitting close, leaning in to each other and whispering. There are excerpts of her quotes from supergirl, someone she seems to know personally.
At no point does the article mention her possibly being supergirl. It only talks about how this seemingly plain, average 20-something from a coastal small town is somehow connected to many of the most powerful and influential people from coast to coast. And thanks to the DEOs attempts to get the article before it’s published, there’s an editorial addition at the end that says after announcing plans to write on the reporter, their servers were attacked and nearly hacked in to in an attempt to stop its publication.
“So I ask you,” the article ends, “who exactly is this Kara Danvers?”
i love this and i want More
Someone fic this please.
Who the Hell is Kara Danvers?
If you visit Kara Danvers’ personal social media profiles, you’ll mostly find cat videos, pictures of lovingly crafted lattes from Noonan’s cafe, and selfies with her sister, Alex, captioned with a hashtag of whatever show they were binging when they took it. You’ll learn she’s a native of Midtown, and an alumnus of National City University, with a degree in business management. You’ll learn she’s a twenty-six year old staff writer for Catco Magazine.
On her professional accounts, you’ll find links to all her writing – a small but growing body of work mainly concerned with alien rights advocacy and L Corp’s rebranding in National City and generosity – and opinionated statements on human rights. You’ll find fond comments from James Olsen, Pulitzer winning photojournalist and head of Catco Worldwide Media, Catco staff photos featuring rare smiles from editor Snapper Carr, and a selfie with the Queen of All Media herself on Cat Grant’s last day at the Catco offices. Given Kara Danvers has been a Catco employee for four years, this might be expected.
If you visit Kara Danvers’ tagged photos, you’ll find selfies and candids with world renowned journalists Lois Lane and Clark Kent. Not pictures from an official visit to a rival news outlet across the country. Personal, affectionate photos of the Kent-Lanes in their home. With Kara Danvers. You’ll find a picture, taken by Clark Kent, of United Nations ambassador Diana Prince, a long time friend of the Kent-Lanes, with an -at the time – college aged Kara Danvers, Prince giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
If you go deeper down this rabbit hole, into paparazzi photos, you’ll find close to a hundred unique shots of Kara Danvers with the otherwise extremely private Lena Luthor. You’ll find them in public cafes, outside theatres, and walking out of bars. Close enough to reach out and touch, frequently laughing and beaming at one another. You’ll find shots of her outside Wayne Enterprises in Gotham with enigmatic billionaire Bruce Wayne, his arm around her shoulders as they duck into a BMW with tinted windows. Shots of her at public events tailing Cat Grant, chatting casually with Maxwell Lord.
And if you read Kara Danvers’ writing, you’ll find dozens of quotes from National City’s hero, Supergirl. These quotes seem off the cuff, casual in a way no other journalist has been able to coax out of the blonde Kryptonian, who has been noted in interviews with Cat Grant, Snapper Carr, and other acclaimed journalists to be somewhat tight lipped and cautious with the press. Supergirl currently has no known contact methods for the general public, but after every crisis, she is ready with an opinion and an encouraging statement… As long as it’s Kara Danvers’ name on the byline.
And finally, when this article was announced – privately, amongst our sites editors and writers – my editors and I began to receive cryptic threats from an untraceable source. They persisted for this piece’s entire development cycle, culminating on an attack on our servers that still has our site reeling. The only reason this article survives was that, by chance, I had made a hard copy for editing the night before.
So, I ask again, who exactly is Kara Danvers?
