Authors note: So, I figured I would throw myself into femslash again and figured a pairing I wouldn't mind seeing is that of Kate Kane and that of Alex Danvers. True they have a bit of distance between them but it should be fun exploring. Kanvers is what I am dubbing this pairing.

Women of power: Terror in Gotham

CH.1: Alex on the beat

Alex was running herself dry these days running the D.E.O. but also dealing with Hayley and her close eye scrutiny of her work. It was becoming a bit much and to top it all off she was coming home exhausted and her dating life was hectic and sporadic and honestly a lot of the girls were either distracted or just not her type.

Honestly it was hard moving on from Maggie…try as she might. Perhaps it was because she kept comparing them to her or rather she was too afraid to get back out there. Kara herself appeared to be just as drained but for some reason she often avoided talking about work around her. It was odd but she decided to let it go and take the high road. Sometimes being the older sibling meant doing so instead of rehashing old arguments or working new ones into the mix.

She found herself of all days here seated at her desk. Paperwork was piling up and she was racking her brain as the employee evaluations were coming up. Employees working under her would be given certain glowing accommodations or they would be given critical review due to underperforming or slacking off. Honestly this would be her first time overseeing such a review.

It weighed heavily on her mind and even in her sleep she sometimes had an open folder over her eyes as she dreamt of the face of the individual she was reading up on. The D.E.O. had gone through quite a lot since J'onn had stepped down to pursue a more peaceful manner of living without violence. While she appreciated it as it did set her life up for a more stable lifestyle for raising a family…it also put on her new responsibility.

Hayley would not let up on her about finding out the identity of Supergirl but she wasn't quite sure how much help she could be. She wished she could help but it was like a part of her brain had been dug into and there were certain grey areas that should make sense. She tried asking Brainy about it but he often dodged the question or a new case sprang up, of all timing.

"Knock knock." Looking up she finds herself staring over at Brainy of all people. "I wasn't sure if you were busy or not…you appear to be contemplating something, I can come back at a later time-."

"It is fine Brainy…what is the emergency?" Since he had become part of her team he was also under evaluation though aside from sometimes his lack of concentration he proved to be a great asset she knew she could not do without.

"It is in regards to a case that might require the use of Supergirl. An alien whom has been eluding capture here has wound up somewhere we cannot follow. I'm not aware…if you are aware but the alien has gone to somewhere called Gotham."

Alex seemed to recall a matter of Supergirl in Gotham. However if this was a D.E.O. matter and Supergirl was no longer part of it…why should it concern her? However, perhaps this is because of the travel involved in which she herself cannot go. Or…perhaps there was a way for her to go without even having to involve Supergirl. Alex knew she was keeping Brainy waiting but she had to formulate her plan exactly or she may have to involve her.

"Brainy…I want you to get in contact with Cisco Ramone at Star Labs and see if he can lend a device to allow me to go to Gotham." Alex decided to pack up a bag with the folders so she could take her work on the road.

"Is it wise to go alone? Perhaps I could accompany you-?" Alex shot him a look and he backed away slowly. "Of course my expertise would best be utilized here. What should I tell-?"

"Tell her I am following up a lead on a rogue and extremely dangerous alien and will write a full report when I return. Do not tell Supergirl where I am. I imagine she has enough on her plate with what is happening here. Much as I am not one for saying this but Supergirl has her uses and National City would be lost without her."

Alex proceeded past Brainy who tried to keep up with her, try, he was keeping up with her so she'd have to come up with another word for that. "Yes, of course, still what if you do wind up staying longer then what I assume is just a day outing?"

Alex stops near the stairs as she honestly had not given that much thought. "If I am gone for more than a day or so you may come up with the story I have fallen sick and need to rest up. I won't be gone long though…I mean it is Gotham, how different is it to here?"

Alex stepped through the portal and had to reorient herself as her surroundings were covered in darkness. She held a device that was tracking the alien and she felt a chill down her spine. "So, this is Gotham City…if someone had told me it would be this dark I would have brought night vision goggles. Perhaps Brainy had been trying to tell me, hmm, oh well I will have to make do with my training."

Alex heard something whistling by her and she did a flip as she barely managed to avoid whatever was thrown at her. "What are you doing in my city?"

The voice was a tad husky and demanding and Alex was on her guard. "I'm here following a fugitive from my Earth here. I'm Director Danvers of the D.E.O. and if not caught this alien could prove dangerous to all those who come across it."

Normally she introduced herself with the F.B.I. and such but this was not one of those times. She watches as a masked woman lands before her clad in a rather skintight suit and her red flowing hair cascades to her shoulders.

"D.E.O. huh? So I'm taking it you work with Supergirl huh?" Alex did a double take hearing this. Then again she had worked with Supergirl.

"Quite a deduction, but no, Supergirl no longer works with the D.E.O. There were certain issues I am not allowed to discuss. Things would go a lot faster with your help."

The woman studies her and Alex can't help like she was seeing through her. "How is it that an alien found itself here of all places?" The woman was circling her but Alex would not rise to the bait. She knew that one wrong move could cost her…and she was already wasting valuable time.

"I feel like it felt like it could hide here without us being aware of it. I'm sorry but what is your name?" She was sort of used to people dressing up in costumes from Green Arrow and others.

"My name is Batwoman…and until I can guarantee you are not a threat you are under my custody as of now." Alex gaped at the woman and found her launching an attack her way.

Authors note: This is just the beginning of the tale of Kanvers. Hope you all enjoy so far and let me know if you wish for it to be multi-femslash or just focused on these two.
