Melissa Benoist was finished in hair and makeup and wardrobe. She strode out onto the set as her alter ego, Supergirl. Katie McGrath was already on set waiting, dressed as Lena Luthor, the would be friend or villain. The scene was going to be shot in the office of Lena Luthor which was actually a leased office space in the Hyatt hotel in downtown Vancouver. The lights, sound equipment and cameras were in place. Gaffers ran around franticly making sure all the technical aspects were in the right place. The director, Kevin Smith was going over the script.
Katie eyed Melissa and said, "Looks to be a grand day Melissa. I likes working with Kevin. He's a proper director," in her thick Irish accent. Katie could work her practiced American accent as good as any actress in the business but when the cameras were off, she often reverted to her native brogue.
Melissa giggled in the way that made her so adorable, squinting and flashing her teeth while trying to cover her face with her hand. She blushed and said, "I just love working with you Katie, I'm so glad that we are doing another Lena Luther episode today. Have you read any of the fan posts online shipping us as SuperCorps again?"
Katie blushed a little, smiled at the blonde superhero and winked. That made Melissa giggle uncontrollably. Katie then asked, "So where's the guest star for this episode? She should be here"
Melissa shrugged her shoulders, "Probably still in wardrobe. Her costume is new and probably more complicated than mine." After so many episodes in two seasons, Melissa was quite comfortable in her red and blue Supergirl costume. When she wore it, it made her feel strong, powerful and confident.
No sooner had they mentioned her, the guest then appeared on set. Karen Gillan, the red headed actress from Scotland who had appeared in Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy, strutted out in her black and yellow Batgirl costume. The tight fitting, spandex cat suit clung to her tight curves. The body of the suit was a bodice of black leather. The yellow bat on her chest spanned between her budding breasts. Her cape was black outer and yellow inner to emphasize her body. She also wore the yellow gauntlets and boots of Batgirl. She had a yellow utility belt which hung low on her hips. The cowl she wore was solid black but with large cat like eye holes cut in that showed off Karen's bright hazel eyes. Her red hair hung down her back from the back of the cowl.
When the two actresses looked at Karen and smiled, Karen did a little twirl to show off the costume. Karen announced, "I'm ready to get my super hero on girls," in a thick Scottish accent.
Melissa giggled again saying, "I feel out numbered today. I'm the only American actress on set."
Katie laughed, "No worries darlin'. We're all foreigners here in Canada anyway." The show had been filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada since it started two years previously. All the CW superhero shows, including the Flash, Arrow and Legends were filmed there.
As the three actresses giggled, there was a short in the wiring somewhere and a sound recorder began smoking. The tech unplugged it quickly and sighed as he had to get it replaced. It was already the third electrical problem that morning. It meant a longer delay. The director, Kevin Smith looked pissed off and cursed at the equipment. He then called for the electrician again to get on the problem. He looked over at the three stunning ladies, who were ready to work and sighed. "You may as well take five ladies, I don't know how long this delay will be.
Katie stood up and smoothed out her skirt suit. "Well then, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the loo," she claimed in her Irish brogue. Katie skipped over the cables on the floor gracefully in her high heels and left the set for the ladies room. That left Karen in her Batgirl costume and Melissa in her Supergirl costume alone on set.
Melissa stated, "That's a great costume Karen, very sexy on you. It really shows off your great figure." Melissa was eyeing the camel toe showing in the pubic area and licking her lips. "Do you have any cool gadgets in that belt?" She asked to save face.
"Fucked if I know. Props filled it full of techie stuff. I don't understand much of it. Even though I've been on Doctor Who, I'm technically challenged. I can barely work my cell phone and I'm a shagger with a computer," the redhead replied. That made Melissa giggle again.
"You're a great actress then Karen, cause you had me fooled," the Supergirl replied. "I'm glad you're here though. I'm a big fan of yours. You're so pretty and fun," she went on. That made Karen blush. The cowl didn't hide her pink cheeks.
"I'm just so happy to be here. I love this show and have been hounding my agent to get me on here for months. I think you are so adorable as Kara and so inspiring as Supergirl. That and the hot lesbian story lines had me dying to get on here. I bugged Kevin until he finally told me that he was writing an episode with a guest appearance of Batgirl. I told him I'd do anything for the part. Well, here I am. I worked out so hard to get in shape for this costume and I took a martial arts class so that I could do most of my own stunt work. I am so excited. I hope they fix this electrical shite so we finally get rolling," Karen explained.
Melissa smirked as she eyed the visiting actress, "So you like the lesbian action on the show, do ya? Do you ship me and Katie too?" she asked.
"Of course I do. There is so much heat between you two on screen. It makes me wonder if it's there off screen too," Karen pried. She knew Melissa was previously married to a man. She had seen her sex photos on line too. But in show business, so many performers were bisexual. That had been her experience anyway. She already knew that Katie was bi. She heard it from a mutual acquaintance who worked with Katie on Dracula.
Melissa eyed the new comer suspiciously and said nothing but licked her lips in response. Indeed, Melissa had done her homework too, digging up a few tasty bits of info on Karen Gillan. She had heard how she seduced a fellow actress on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy and how the two of them, painted blue and green had made a huge but colorful mess on some linens back stage. They stared at each other, both of them licking their lips.
Just then, there was another spark right next to the two ladies. Both actresses jumped in fright right into each others arms. Both girls let out a squeak of a scream. They turned to look and the room was aglow with a strange blue light. Karen thought it was just a special set light but Melissa who was familiar with the set had never seen it before, on set at least. It was like a glowing blue cloud about three feet in diameter, hanging in mid air. Melissa knew it looked familiar but it was impossible.
Suddenly, the blue light expanded and turned into a ring about four feet across. Then, emerging from the light stepped a person. He was a young Latin man with shoulder length black hair, wearing a Star Labs sweater and jeans. On his face were a funky pair of metallic sunglasses.
