As Adam Foster was walking down the streets of National City, he couldn't stop thinking about the only girl he had ever met that had given him instant goosebumps. Her long blonde hair, her clear blue eyes, her always bright and sunny smile… She always seemed so optimistic and that was probably the quality he liked best about her.

Unfortunately, this girl, Kara Danvers, had just dumped him moments ago in his mother's office after only two dates, both of which had been violently interrupted. Adam had been afraid he had spooked her of on their first date when Kara had suddenly fled away right at the moment on which he was opening up to her about his feelings. After she had left, Adam had stayed at the café, blaming himself for going too fast with Kara as they had only met recently and confessing how he felt during their first intimate talk had probably been too much for the girl. What else could have been the reason for Kara's sudden and quick escape?

But Adam had managed to snap out of this thought and considered that he couldn't help the way Kara had instantly stolen his heart from the moment he had met her. Not just anyone would have risked their job to send that letter from his mom in an attempt to restore the relationship between mother and son. And even when her first attempt to do so had failed, Kara wasn't willing to give up and had ultimately convinced Adam to stay and give his mother a second chance. He was glad he had given in to the girl's speech because from that moment on things had developed smoothly leading to the first family talk he and his mother ever had. That was the moment Adam had decided not to give up on Kara either.

There was something about Kara Danvers that had struck him and he had decided to risk his chances and ask her out again. And he couldn't help but smile the next day when she had agreed to go out with him again after the first debacle. That evening, their second date had provoked a special feeling inside of Adam. Kara had told him about the death of her parents and deducing from the look in her eyes, Adam had seen that she definitely had trouble talking about her personal life.

There was so much Adam didn't know about Kara, in fact he had the feeling that he didn't know anything about her life at all. The one thing he did know was the fact that she was just really special. She was always shy and insecure, tucking her hair nervously behind her ear and adjusting her glasses on these moments, but the weird thing was that Kara was never afraid to take action, even if that meant she had to stand up against his mother, the Queen of All Media, Cat Grant.

Talking about her parents to him, Kara had cut the conversation by this very routine of hair tucking and adjusting her glasses, a routine that Adam had witnessed way too often already considering the short time they knew each other. Then Kara had ended the talk by confessing that it was hard for her to feel normal, her eyes dropping to the ground and Adam couldn't help but feel sorry for her. The girl who always seemed so optimistic and was always trying to fix other people's problems had such a hard time struggling with traumas herself and Adam just wanted to be there for her and ease the pain. Adam had leaned in, whispering gently in her ear that it was ok, that no one ever felt normal and then it had happened. They had kissed. It had been like nothing Adam had ever experienced. Did Kara Danvers just kiss him? Did she allow herself to be kissed by him?

Adam had felt completely happy and satisfied, he had finally broken through Kara Danvers' wall. However, moments later Kara had been violently kidnapped by Supergirl's evil twin, Bizarro, leaving Adam completely in shock. Was their relationship cursed or something? He had fled straight to Catco – after all his mother was the Queen of All Media, surely there had to be something she could do – and had only just explained everything to Cat when Kara came walking in, unharmed and looking sheepishly at the two of them. Minutes later, Kara had broken his heart.

As Adam added everything up, it just didn't make any sense. They hadn't even properly started dating yet. All they had shared was one sweet kiss, a kiss that had changed his world, and he was pretty sure she had felt the same way. Maybe she was just afraid to be in a relationship, as she had lost her parents as a child. Maybe that event had been so traumatic that Kara had grown up with the impression that she would eventually lose everyone she loved.

Adam was pounding over his thoughts while wandering through the city as he found himself ending on the doorstep of the only person he could think of that would be able to tell him more about Kara Danvers. He ended up ringing at Cat Grant's doorbell.

"Adam?" Cat asked surprised seeing her oldest son visiting her at this late hour. "What are you doing here?"

"Kara, she…" Adam said, as the words seemed stuck in his throat.

"Oh no, she didn't", Cat replied. She had only recently met her oldest son, but she could recognize a heartbreak when she saw one. Besides, she had left Catco earlier that evening so that Kara and her son could have a talk and remembering the sadness she had heard in Kara's voice when she was leaving things apparently didn't end well.

"She broke up with me", Adam told his mother, giving her the confirmation to her suspicions: "And I don't even know why, I mean, we have only gone out a couple of times, there was nothing serious going on between the two of us."

"I see", Cat said: "Well, I have already warned you about how easily she is spooked of, as for the two of you, I don't think I should meddle with your love-life, but I do know that I will make her life a living hell for breaking your heart."

"Please mom, don't", Adam almost screamed out. As much as Kara had hurt him, he still loved her and he didn't want to use his mother to get revenge on her. He was not that kind of person, he cared deeply about Kara, even if they had only known each other for a few days. And since he was aware of her tragic past all he wanted to do was make her life easier, not complicate it. Realizing how desperate he had sounded in front of his mother, he quickly gathered himself together: "I mean, wouldn't it be kind of pathetic to use my relationship with you just to get vindictive on her?"

"Okay, so why are you here then?" Cat asked, already knowing that their newly founded mother-son relationship couldn't be the reason, she didn't expect Adam to open up about his personal feelings to a mother he had only met in person a few days ago.

Adam sighed, could this woman really help him, or was he just desperately looking for attention? "I was wondering if you knew anything about Kara, by which I mean something that doesn't stand in her work file?"

Cat looked at her son in surprise, sure Kara had been her assistant for the past two years, but she didn't know a thing about her employee. It was true that Cat had the suspicion of Kara being Supergirl, but she couldn't exactly tell Adam that. He would probably think she went crazy that she even considered the thought of dorky Kara Danvers being National City's fierce superhero. And after all, there was the fact that Cat had witnessed both of them in the same room. After that moment Cat had let go of her accusations, giving the girl some peace. However, recent events with the Bizarro Supergirl flying around the city had shown Cat that it was possible to perfectly resemble someone physically, making her wonder how Kara had pulled the trick of. Cat didn't investigate the matter anymore, after all it was hard to believe that her assistant would be capable of handling the action Supergirl daily had to cope with. Supergirl always handled every battle with true confidence and grace, where her assistant stumbled around Catco being insecure and clumsy…

"Mom?" Adam asked a bit worried as to why it took his mother so long to answer.

Cat immediately snapped out of her day dream, carefully taking in her son's actual question. "Well, there is this thing that came up once, but I'm not sure it's mine to tell."

"She told you about her parents?" Adam guessed.

"Yes she did, and I'm surprised to hear you know about that too, she may not be so reserved as I thought she was", Cat replied. "Before you ask, that's all I know, but it may be an explanation as to why she feels so insecure about being in a relationship", she added, trying to give Adam some advice like any mother would try to give to her son.

"I really do like her mom, I just want to get to know her and see if things work out, I'm just scared she doesn't feel the same way."

"If you really like her, then don't give up on her Adam. I won't admit it to her, but Kara is a special girl and even the best assistant I have ever had over the past few years. Just don't try to hurry her, only show her that you care", Cat spoke staring deeply into Adam's eyes.

"Thanks mom", Adam let out as he pulled her into a short awkward hug, the sudden movement surprising Cat.

Cat was not sure how to respond at her son showing his affection like this, so instead she kept standing still with her arms glued to her body. Adam backed away and left, not saying another word and Cat just stood still, taking in the moment, which had to be the first real mother-son moment they had ever shared. "Thanks Kara for bringing my son back into my life", she muttered softly, a bright smile across her face: "But if you keep breaking his heart like this, I promise I will make your life miserable."
