The Science Guild (Or How Kara Danvers Became A Nerd Icon) by dreiser

Summary
Science was always a comfort to Kara. It was a reminder of Krypton. Of her people, culture, and family. She focused her attention on studying it when she first arrived on Earth for that reason. Then the years passed, Kara learned how to hide her differences, become more human, and that focus was lost.
At least until Snapper reassigned her to cover the science and technology beat at The Tribune.

Genius Kara AU.
Not exactly canon compliant as Lena shows up earlier before Kara comes out as Supergirl and they meet a different way.Plus Kara hates her job after the years she's worked there, even if I love Cat. She will still have cameos and be very supportive in her own way.
Kara comes out as a hero in an alternative way, and doesn't follow in Clark's footsteps.
Alex will be the best big sister ever.Not James or Clark friendly at all. I always hated how James was there to keep an eye on Kara and how Clark abandoned Kara.
Kara will get her happy ending that she deserves.
Give it a chance pls :)

Summary
Lena Luthor is bored and searching for her next adventure. Kara Danvers is her irrepressible new assistant. When the challenge of a lifetime captures Lena’s attention, she is eager to pursue it alone, but Kara is nothing if not persistent - both in her attention to her job, and her affection for her employer.

Summary
Superman had faced down giant robots, rampaging aliens, and more than one of Lex Luthor’s deadly weapons. He had saved the world countless times and the whole universe once. A family dinner should have been the least of his worries. Still, as Clark checked his watch for the tenth time in less than a minute, he couldn’t help feel that foiling an evil scheme was much more in his wheelhouse than talking to his cousin.
OR
An AU where even though Clark's the one who wears the cape, Kara is just as super.

Summary
Sometimes, Kara hates the fact that she’s on Earth and not on Krypton. She loves Earth, don’t get her wrong, but…
She hates feeling stupid. She hates that she doesn’t always understand Earth phrases, both in English and in other languages she’s picked up.
She’s smart, dammit!
Alternatively, four people who don't realize Kara is smart, one who did, and one who does.
