Part IV
Sitting in a dimly lit restaurant, Kara and her mysterious date ate their pasta and made some small talk.
"It must be exciting working for Catco." He said.
"Well, it has its perks." Kara replied.
Over an hour passed and Kara found herself actually enjoying the moment. For over a year now she had been so caught up on saving National City from bank robbers, burning buildings and aliens she had missed the normalcy of going on a date.
"You know most people I meet ask me about Super Girl." She said, fishing for an answer.
"Why? I am sitting across from a beautiful, obviously smart woman, why on earth would I bring up the Super Girl."
"Well." She lost her thought for a moment. For over an hour they discussed her job, her family, what makes her happy and she was no closer to finding out about this "League" he was involved in. "You know we have been talking and I have to admit I don't recall you telling me your name."
"Sorry, its Ian."
"Well Ian, it is very nice to meet you."
"You want to ask me something." He was direct.
"Um, well, yes. What is this league you spoke of."
"Curiosity, I like that." He sipped his wine. "Sorry cant tell you. Maybe sometime."
As he paid the check, the two stood up; Ian pulled out her chair and helped her with her coat.
"Thank you for a nice evening." Kara said with a gleam in here eye.
"It was my pleasure."
As the two started to leave the restaurant, a new flash was playing in the bar area. Both of their attention was drawn to the TV.
"...again a tanker crash on the beltway is causing quite a backup. The fire is spreading and threatening to spread to the National City Zoo." Spoke the new anchor.
Kara said good night and left him standing at the door to the restaurant. Even without her costume, she flew to her apartment in hopes Wynn had a backup outfit for her.
"Wynn, so you have a backup?" She said as she landed in the living room.
"Well, kind of." He blushed and held his head low.
'"What do you mean, kind of." She said in a dismayed voice.
"Well I didn't have any extra bullet and fireproof material so I had to use on of the outfits we originally worked on."
"Please don't tell me it was the...."
"As Super Girl flew to the site of the highway tanker fire all eyes looked upon the sight. She could see the fire spreading to the nearby tree line, meaning it was only moments before it would spread to many of the Zoo's animal habitats. Using her super breath she blew out the flames just in the nick of time. Onlookers cheered and simultaneously gasped.
