"Maelstrom arrives in Metropolis during a week when Superman is away on a mission in space. He put Supergirl in charge and she initially complains of a slow week of action until something gets her attention."
The term "week" was used but I think w/o that critical page that actually discusses the time elapsed here, we don't really have much to work on to establish period here. And due to that, can neither agree on or dispute anything as I don't have sufficient information.
Sorry bro. Can't provide any more information.
That week comment is interesting though.
