|3rd Person's POV|

As nine mercenaries began pouring into the room, Kara remained hidden under one of the many tables in the room. Then, the one that seemed to be the leader of the group, spoke.

M. Leader?: "EVERYBODY SHUT UP AND STAY DOWN! HOWARD STARK! COME WITH US!" he bellowed, but, contrary to his expectation, Stark remained calm, not showing a sign of fear.

M. Leader?: "Oy! Don't tell me the great Stark suddenly became deaf!! Fucking come with us!!" he ordered, but Stark wasn't moving an inch and even smirked, irritating the mercenary.

However, what they and the rest, didn't know, was that Kara, his assistant, had slowly found her way to get close to the farthest mercenary, thanks to her enhanced senses and X-ray vision. But, Howard did know that, with Kara around, he shouldn't feel too afraid, as every situation seems to be controlled by the blonde. And she has proven that many times before.

And now, with Kara beside the farthest mercenary, didn't hesitate and pulled out a BC-41 -a knuckleduster/dagger weapon used during World War II by the British commandos for close combat and in ambush situations- that were hidden around her hips and equipped it on her left hand, immediately using it to punch the mercenary right behind his ear, instantly incapacitating him.

Then, before anyone can make a move, Kara took the opportunity and took the M3 submachine gun in the now unconscious man's grasp, and without an ounce of hesitation, pulled the stock and pressed it below her collarbone, just to make it look "realistic", then pulled the trigger, shooting the closest mercenary to her, riddling him with holes.

This, in turn, caused the remaining seven mercenaries to face her and start raining bullets at the blonde. She, however, was prepared and flipped the table right beside her and used it as a shield by ducking behind it.

Random Merc.: "WHAT THE FUCK!!!" one man from the mercenary group shouted.

Random Merc1.: "Damn it! Leo! Charles! DIE!!" and another did the same with a sorrowful bellow.

As the bullets began to slowly destroy the table, some even hitting Kara, but wasn't even able to pierce her uniform due to her invulnerability, and thankfully, no one would notice it. And Kara didn't stay idle, as when the table was nearly half as it used to be, the blonde used her powerful legs to roll away from behind the table.

Immediately after, before the mercenaries could aim at her, she got into a crouching position and dashed towards the mercenary group. Tackling the surprised mercenary, she used a technique to change their positions quickly, with the mercenary now in front of her as a meat shield! The man tried to break free, even hitting the woman behind him with his elbow, but with her invulnerability, it was all for a naught as his allies pulled their triggers and shot at him, not entirely noticing how he and the blonde exchanged places, thinking that the woman was in front of their comrade.

When one finally noticed that they were shooting the wrong person, all he did was woefully shout his name.

R. Merc.: "Brent!!"

Kara didn't give them a chance to do anything as she threw the man aside, fixing the gun's stock below her collarbone once more and pulled the trigger, her left hand still wearing the BC-41, which would normally hinder a person, but because of Kara's traits as a Kryptonian, there was no need for any accidents.

Then, spreading fire at the remaining six mercenaries, Kara was only able to shoot two mercenaries, unfortunately not killing them, before inadvertently having no more bullets. Quickly thinking about her options, she threw the gun at one of the injured mercenaries, hitting him on the head with pinpoint accuracy and near superhuman strength, leading him into unconsciousness, and suddenly running with speed an experienced athlete could reach, she went straight for the other wounded man and kneeing him right on the middle of his sternum, and with her speed, she broke it, killing the man as pieces of his broken ribs most likely pierced his heart.

Next, a man reloading his gun exclaimed in fear.

R. Merc.: "What the fuck's going on!!! How's she doing this!!! She's just one woman!!!" he shouted while having a hard time reloading with his shaky hands. Then, the leader of the group, without saying a word, threw a grenade after pulling its pin.

L. Merc.: "DIE YOU WHORE!!!" he shouted as he jumped away for cover, his remaining "allies" only standing due to disbelief. And as the grenade reached Kara, she catched it mid-air, waited only for a second, then threw it outside the window the mercenaries came through! Not a second later, the grenade exploded meters away from the building, not damaging anything as it was high above the ground.

As the three mercenaries were still shocked, and their leader was being a total wuss right now, Kara didn't waste time and dashed towards the mercenary in the middle, sending a straight chop at his throat, destroying it and killing the man. And right after that, she sent a straight jab to the man to her left with her knuckduster, punching him right in between his eyes, cracking his skull and killing him.

And lastly, the only standing mercenary received a roundhouse kick at his right temple, knocking him into unconsciousness. Now, only one mercenary remained, three were incapacitated, and five were dead!

Going to the mercenary leader, Kara only walked, not in the bit concerned as the people who came to the meeting were quickly evacuated thanks to the help of Howard. The mercenary was hiding behind a table, ready to shoot Kara when he sees her, but she knew, thanks to her X-ray vision, and she knew, that there were more mercenaries going around the facility.

It seems that these mercenaries did their homework, as they knew where to go, and Kara could only think that this was an inside job. But, too bad for them, Supergirl was here to save the day, only as a badass secretary.

And speaking of saving the day, Kara didn't even bother with the remaining mercenary and kicked the table he was hiding behind to knock him out. Then, just like that, she left the room, without a single scratch nor even a sweat.

Opening the door, she was met with Howard, leaning against the wall, all calm and calculated.

Kara: "There are still more mercenaries in the hangar." is what she told her boss while showing him a big walkie talkie that she grabbed from a random mercenaries bag to show "evidence", to still look like as human as she can.

Shaking his head, Howard sighed in relief.

Howard: "I don't know how you do it, Kara, but I'm really grateful for having you. Stark Industries have started to become more powerful because of me, so lots of my competitors would most likely want to stop me before becoming unstoppable. *Sigh* Such unruly brats. Why can't they just bow down to my genius." the man said as he walked away, a guard meeting him half-way.

Then, looking at the open door behind her, Kara observed what she had done. If it was her when she started out as Supergirl, she surely wouldn't even entertain the thought of killing, but here she was, 50 years older and having her hands bloodied even more than a normal human should have. However, she's come to terms with it, as she must not show weakness, as weakness was what made her lose everything, and she wouldn't let that happen again.

Going inside the meeting room once again, she began to pile up the dead bodies in one corner and the incapacitated ones in a different corner, not an ounce of guilt or regret present in her cool blue eyes.

¦Major Timeskip: 20 years¦

|1965|

|Kara's POV|

-You know, life on this earth was rather great, to be honest. Though I had to put up with the lack of technology, it was still fun. Money, power, women, I had it all. Trusting my gut was the best decision, and Howard was a great boss! Cocky and arrogant, but he has the money to do it. The assassination attempts stopped after a year when I came around, so I didn't have to bother with killing someone every other week. I'm fine with killing, but it still isn't that great to do so. And, I know that I didn't want to change the future of this world too much -which I later realized that wasn't °my° eart-, I just couldn't stand the outlook that people here had on lesbians, so like a devil, I began to tempt the government to accepting gays and lesbians faster, for my sake. And, with that said, let's end my inner monolog with this, life for the past 20 years was hell of a ride!-

With my inner monolog finished, I decided that it was time to meet up with Howard. I was just glad that I was able to easily fool him when he asked why I didn't look to have aged. The man may be a genius, but he's still a human that can believe in lies. With a bit of white lies and some intimidation, the man dropped the subject, though it was a different case with my female friends, and reporters, damned media making up theories about me knowing the secrets to immortality.

Well, speaking of my female friends, I have tons of them, actually, most my friends are females, but I have something like an inner circle, those who I keep closer. One of the women in the circle is Maria or, as I liked to call her as M, and she practically pestered me with questions on how I kept on looking young, but I should be the one asking her that, already in her mid-40's yet she still looked like an adorable woman in her late-20's.

But, I've got to admit, I liked how she was such a switch in bed, always changing to an sub from a dom! Our relationship is what you could tell as friends with benefits, as lesbians and gays were still not accepted into society, but it was getting there! Also, she was married to a workaholic. He was a nice man, but damn does he have priorities.

Then, there was Millie Bell, Maria's 14 year old daughter, whose a total cinnamon roll. Cute and innocent, just like her mother, when she's not in her work mode. I was technically 95 this year, but to others, I was 45, and so was to Marie, however, that didn't hinder our friendship! God I love the girl!

Next was Margaret "Peggy" Carter, but she liked to be called Peggy. The woman was a warrior, strong and smart, but considering her job, it fit her nicely, but wasn't the perfect fit. She's very straight, but with her line of job, there would be times where she'd look for a woman's touch, because she said that she'd only let one man touch her, and that was Steve Rogers, most commonly known as Captain America, a great man. I'd sometimes even feel guilty because of what Peggy and I do, but who would want to refuse such a woman? However, I did know that she needed to move on, so by the years, I slowly had her entertain the idea of trying out dating a man.

She may be 41 now, but she's still a babe, and still has a 5 percent chance of getting pregnant, or can even adopt a child.

Up next is Maria Stark, Howard's wife for two years now. It was such a surprise when the playboy actually married, but seeing his age, I think it's understandable. But they still lost their chance to have their own child, however, with the two of them being my friend, I obviously talked to them about adopting, since someone needs to continue to lead the company, and a Stark is what it needs.

And lastly, I have Marie Danvers, who was someone I met in a diner with his husband back then and we hit off immediately, the woman was just such a nice lady, and she recently gave birth to her daughter, Carol Danvers. It's pretty funny, how we had the same last name, maybe it was because of that that we got as close as we are. I'd even sometimes visit them -they were temporarily living in L.A. because of Joseph's, Marie's husband, current job- in their house, where I'd play with Joe jr. and baby Carol. And Carol's such an angel. Makes me want to have a child of my own, but I ain't ever gonna have cock in my kitty. I'll just look for a way to produce a child through two ovums, no need for a sperm donner. Yeah, I'll definitely do that. And, if other lifeforms exists, which I'm sure they do, one of them must have some way for two females to reproduce.

Well, enough of that. Today marks an important day! So, with my appearance all decent and formal, I went to find Howard.

-He better not be sleeping around the building, or else I'll have to drag his holier-than-thou ass again.- I thought to myself, walking down the spacious hallway, sometimes passing by other employees. The men were eyeing me, while the women would either lick their lips or look away shyly. To work in Stark Industries, one must be open minded, so me being a lesbian is a pretty well known thing, and they knew not to let this get out in public.

And, after a while, the search didn't take long with my wonderful X-ray vision, as I found him dead asleep on a desk in one of the testing rooms. Rolling my eyes, I entered the room as loud as I can, slamming the door to the wall, waking up the tired Stark.

Howard: "Shit!! Kara! What was that about!? I was having a good dream!!" he shouted while rubbing his eyes, while I rolled mine.

"*Huff* Get yourself fixed up. You have an hour before the president and the military comes." I informed while staying right in front the door, not bothering to come inside.

Howard: "Oh!? They finally thought with their heads instead of their pride? Finally!" he exclaims as he stumbles, trying to stand up but ending up getting light headed, nearly tripping, but was quickly able to hold onto the table.

Howard: "Come on Kara! Help me out here!" he shouts in excitement, his major project finally receiving approval. And to that, I just rolled my eyes.

"They came to talk about the matter with S.H.I.E.L.D, not approve it. They're still skeptical about that project of yours, Howard. Damned cunts are too afraid because of what you could do." I told him, inflating his ego a bit, as I didn't want to deal with a pouty Howard. Pouting definitely doesn't suit him.

Howard: "Bah! Come on! It's me, Howard Stark! Who doesn't like me?" he proclaimed with a haughty tone, making me want to slap that face of his.

"Was that a rhetorical question?" I asked him, causing him to be stumped. Huffing, I left the room, going straight to the meeting room to prepare for the president's and the military big-shots arrival.

¦Timeskip¦

|Kara's POV|

For about 20 minutes, Kara and other employees fixed up the meeting room, making it as comfortable while still being formal, replacing the previous seats with padded ones, something Kara preferred to do to help ease the "guests", then prepared the right amount of cups, people here really liked coffee.

Then, with everything prepared, all Kara had to do was wait, as Howard wasn't arrogant enough to embarrass himself with his choice of clothing. And right before it was time for the "guests" to arrive, I made my way to the entrance, where I was met with Howard. Standing beside him, it only took a few minutes before the "guests" arrived.

°°°

The meeting went without a hitch, Peggy was part of the S.H.I.E.L.D project, so she had a say in this. In the middle of the "argument" of making an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D, I was suddenly called out by Howard. It turns out that damned bastard used me as an example of what agents of S.H.I.E.L.D would become under him, which obviously was a lie, as he never did train me, but because of my job as his assistant -even though it isn't really part of the job-, I had to assist his claim, so after having a sparring match with one of the generals, the "guests" were easily fooled because of Howard's manipulation.

And, surprisingly, S.H.I.E.L.D was approved, making Howard, Peggy, and °I°, the founders! How dis even get to that! I seriously wanted to ask how these people got to such a fast decision, an important one at that!

But, as I stood there, confused and shocked, I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked to see a grinning Howard.

Howard: "Hey there, co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D~. Ready to change the world?" he purred in delight, mischief could be seen flashing in his eyes. To this, I just processed things for a second before resigning to my fate. It doesn't actually seem too bad. I want to see how this would work out.

Brushing his hand away from my shoulder, I scowled at him, only to receive an innocent smile, before I sighed and flicked his forehead with the average strength of a human.

"Better recruit capable people. I don't like working with anyone incompetent." I told him as we led the "guests" out.

-At least my life got more interesting.- is what I thought to myself as I saw Howard and Peggy's mischievous smirks.
