I'm a Puppy?!

Kara thought as she looked at her reflection in the water with her bright blue eyes.

Instead of seeing her usual Kryptonian body, she saw a dog. More specifically, a puppy.

To be even more specific, a Golden Retriever puppy. A very fluffy golden retriever puppy with floppy ears, and if she had been in her normal body, she would have awed.

To be fair, she was cute.

She startled when she heard a whine, making her look around, then realized was the one that made that sound.

Why was she a puppy? Well, she may have touched something she wasn't supposed to.

The DEO had been tracking an alien for the past couple of weeks, one that had the ability to shift into different species. The alien had been able to shift into a human as well, but they hadn't been able to speak. They had left goo behind after they shifted, and it had been picked up by the DEO, after Kara let them know where it was.

Alex had been analyzing it in a DEO lab, and Kara had poked at it, much to Alex's annoyance, who slapped her hand away, saying,

Kara had scoffed, but now, looking at her reflection, she realized she really shouldn't touch things she wasn't too sure about.

She had been fne the day before, but earlier this morning, on her way to work at Catco she started feeling faint, so she walked into an alleyway to take a breather, where she then passed out. She woke up tangled in her clothes, and she had struggled to get them off, before realizing she was smaller than normal.

She looked in a puddle of water, whining. She started to pace in the alleyway, stumbling on her four legs, before slowly getting used to the moving on all fours.

She glanced at her pile of work clothes, her work bag and her suit. She spotted her earpiece which had fallen out, when she had shifted forms. She pawed her earpiece.

She sat down, head tilting, looking at her belongings then looking towards the exit of the alleyway, where she saw a few people walking by. She stood back up on her four paws, grabbed her suit with her teeth and tugged it behind one of the trash cans in the alley way, tugging with all her might.

Once she hid it behind the trash can, she tugged the rest of her belongings behind the trash can. It took a few minutes to successfully hide her things. She sat down and panted, her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

She looked at the earpiece, padded over to it, then picked it up with her teeth.

Kara stood still after hearing a meow. She turned her snout to the trash can, looking above the lid, where her blue eyes met the green eyes of an adult black cat.

Kara huffed through her teeth, keeping the earpiece in her mouth. Her tail wagged behind her. She really loved cats.

The cat's pupils turned into slits, it's fur starting to rise.

Kara froze. She had grown up with Streaky, and when he made those noises, it wasn't good. The cat jumped down from the trash can, stalking towards her.

Kara backed up slowly towards the exit of the alleyway, tail tucked between her legs

The cat hissed, then started to chase her.

Kara yelped, dropping the earpiece. Kara ran towards the streets, whining as did so.

She exited the alleyway, and ran down the street to Catco, not knowing where else to go.

She heard people around her, her hearing picking up multiple voices, and her nose picked up multiple smells. She dodged people's legs as she ran, pumping her four legs to run as fast they could, panic coursing through her brain. She could see the large building, and knowing that they weren't going to let her in, she dived into one of the bushes outside the entrance.

She huddled inside the bush, panting. Kara whined. She knew she needed it, yet a part of her didn't want to go back and face the adult cat. She laid down in the dirt, not knowing what to do.

"Did you find your acquaintance, Ms. Luthor?" A male voice spoke, making Kara's ears perk up.

Kara peaked out from the bush, seeing Ms. Luthor walk towards her limo, where a suited man was holding the passenger door open.

Kara tilted her head curiously. She had met with Ms. Luthor two times, and Ms. Luthor definitely made an impression on her. Ms. Luthor was certainly an amazing person, genuine, kind, thoughtful, and she was gorge-

Kara shook her head, retreating back into the bush. She couldn't help from panicking. She had no one who could help her in her situation, and had no way to communicate with Alex, and she was a puppy, making her vulnerable. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down. She didn't realize that her whining grew louder and her puppy form started to shake.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Unfortunately not Shaun, it appears she-" Lena Luthor stopped walking, her ears picking up whining. Her green eyes looked towards one of the bushes outside Catco.

"Is something wrong, Ms Luthor?" Her driver, Shaun, closed the door and got closer to his charge, body preparing for the worst.

Lena narrowed her eyes at the bush, handing her purse to Shaun. "Hold this."

"Certainly, Ms. Luthor." Shaun took the purse, not lowering his guard.

Lena got closer to the bush, kneeling down next to it, feeling grateful she wore a pantsuit for the day. She slowly parted the bushes, spotting a whining and shaking Golden Retriever puppy in the dirt. Her heart couldn't help but melt at the sight. She reached out slowly with her right hand, petting the puppy's head gently, who yelped.

The puppy's eyes opened, and it backed up slowly, whimpering.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lena said softly, reaching out her right hand even further into the bush. Her green eyes met those of the puppy, who had such a scared look in its bright blue eyes. The puppy's body seemed to shake.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Lena whispered, leaving her right hand stretched out for the puppy to sniff.

The puppy crawled forward slowly, nose sniffing. The puppy's nose eventually reached her hand.

"You're such a cute puppy, aren't you?" Lena cooed, noticing that the dog's ears twitched.

The puppy took its time sniffing her hand, before leaning into it, leaving its chin in her hand.

"What is it, Ms Luthor?" Shaun asked her curiously.

"It's a puppy, and a cute one at that." Lena reached her left hand inside the bush, petting the dogs head, who seemed to melt at the soft touch. The shaking seemed to have stopped.

"Is it alright?" Shaun asked, looking around, making sure there were no suspicious people around

"Poor thing seems terrified. It doesn't have a collar on, but other than that, it looks okay." Lena kept stroking the puppy's head, until it seemed completely at ease.

She rubbed its right ear, noticing that it had very soft, velvet like fur.

"I'm going to pick you up, alright?" Lena whispered, reaching beneath the puppy's belly. The dog's eyes widened a bit, but it didn't shift, seeming to accept that it was going to be picked up.

Lena picked up the puppy, hugging it close to her body, then stood up. The puppy shifted in her arms, until it was looking up at her with its beautiful blue eyes, paws close to its body.

"A Golden Retriever puppy?" Shaun leaned closer to the puppy, who seemed to grumble. "What is doing out here?"

"I'm not sure. Can you drive us to the veterinarian? We should see if the puppy is alright and possibly find its owner." Lena headed towards her limo, with Shaun rushing to open it. Lena sat down, the puppy in her lap.

"Of course, Ms. Luthor. Here is your purse." Lena grabbed her purse and placed it beside her.

Shaun closed the door, and they were off to the Vet.
