Also if you’ve never ripped a CC in half you’re clearly missing out on the sheer strength that is Alex Danvers. Like it isn’t easy man. Not at all.See now I just wonder why Alex is using an international banking credit card. Because Diners Club and Amex cards start with 3, Visa cards start with 4, MasterCard starts with 5, and Maestro and Discover cards start with 6. International cards usually start with 9 but I can’t recall if any country starts with 91.maybe she used to have more international missions? remember how the story started with Alex’s plane going to Geneva? since supergirl appeared she’s been gone Less, and then she met Maggie but maybe Alex traveled a lot for the deoRight but what country is it from? Why isn’t it US based, as they are US based organization and therefore get federal funding and usually that means they have to abide by Fly America Act, banking in US banks, and all sorts of things. If you’ve ever worked for the government or as a contractor, you know they have strict guidelines on expenditures and definitely not having banks in other countries.SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS.Eliza and Jeremiah find out early on that housing a little alien refugee is expensive. Like, you could feed a family of ten with that money kind of expensive. Kara’s one indulgence in this life is food, and the amount she eats and the places she eats sends out fraud checks every two weeks. (Sushi in Japan, pizza back home, then Alex’s favorite food truck in Chicago all in the same week?) They’ve had close calls with the IRS. The one good thing the DEO did for them at the time was to set them up with an international bank outside of the US’s jurisdiction. Some people dodge taxes while the Danvers are just trying to avoid being on a first name basis with the tellers at their bank. Who would’ve thought you could track down aliens by their financial history?Kara is horrible at keeping cash on hand as well. Loose coins and paper bills go flying at the speed she changes into Supergirl. Her purse is often stolen because there isn’t always a good spot to hide her things. Credit cards are easy to cancel, and Kara uses Alex’s with a sheepish look until she gets issued a new one. But mostly, Alex keeps hers because she’s tired of Kara complaining about exchange rates and losing money when she has to convert currency.So yeah. Alex and Kara have mysterious credit cards that start with a ‘9’ because Supergirl doesn’t need her identity blown by her credit history. Even though all she wears is a pair of glasses in disguise. -- source link
