This is a story I've spent way too much time working on. I initially planned to post it last year for Christmas, and it got away from me and I never finished in time to post. Now I am posting it this year, because let's face it, we all need some supercat for the holidays, right?
This will be updated every few days with the last chapter on Christmas Day, so stay tuned for updates. I hope you all enjoy this, it's been a long time coming.
Also, the song for this fic is :Get Me Through December by Natalie McMaster and Allison Krauss. I absolutely adore the song, and I highly recommend listening to it if you haven't, and to listen to it while you read this fic. The reason will become apparent as to why I chose it for this fic, as a sound track, later on if it hasn't become apparent right away.
If anyone has fill in ideas I'd love to hear them, or just constructive criticism. Anything right now, I'll accept. I'm always looking for recommendations, or your honest opinions, so let me know, and enjoy. I sincerely hope you like this.
So basically Kara decides to go on a trip to Norway with Cat, knowing that it's the Polar Night, and she won't have her powers for the duration of said trip. Despite this, Kara goes, unable to refuse any command from her boss. But while there, Kara quickly realizes that something is off, and her powers being MIA are not helping that fact.
Truth is, Kara is going through a Kryptonian version of a hormonal cycle, and is basically in heat for most of the trip. The loss of her powers don't help this at all. With a month near her boss, which just amplify all the feelings she's suddenly experiencing on hyperdrive right now, will Kara be able to hold through the month and keep her hands to herself? And maintain her secret?
Part 1 of 5.
"Keira, call Sydney and have her pack me a month's worth of clothing and suits, I'm going on a trip." Cat said sharply, not looking up from her laptop but for a few seconds to glance at Kara.
"A trip, Ms. Grant?" Kara asked, this being the first she'd heard of any such news. "Should I book you a first class flight? How soon will you be leaving? Should I call up Bart to babysit Carter?"
"Carter will be staying with his father, who I've already had a much too long conversation with, I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning, and you may book a first class flight on whichever airline you deem the most suitable for the trip. Oh and while you're at it, book yourself a seat as well."
"I'll confirm the seating with you later and… wait, what?"
"Keep up, Keira. I said book yourself a seat as well. You're coming with me."
"I… I am?" Kara asked, shocked.
"Yes you are. I'm not going on this trip for pleasure, as much as I love the Norwegian mountains. I'm going for work, to fix a part of my company there that isn't holding up. Naturally, I need an assistant with me, and you are mine. I need the help to fix a company in peril, and I cannot do that on my own."
"We're going to Norway?" Kara asked around a disbelieving gasp. She'd never been, but had wanted to go.
"Yes. Trombso, Norway. It's quite beautiful, I have a vacation home there. Chop chop, Keira, go book us the earliest flights tomorrow morning."
Uh, yes Ms. Grant." Kara said and slipped off to her desk to do as she was told, but dropped onto the balcony to give her sister a call first. The reaction she got was just as she'd quickly expected from her always protective and overly concerned sister.
"You're going to Norway?!"
"Alex, please calm down, it's a business trip." Kara tried, speaking quietly.
"I don't care if it's a business trip or a trip for the two of you to get hitched. It's Norway Kara. There's no sunlight there while you're going to be there. You… won't have your powers."
"I realize that, Alex. But this isn't something I can just say no to." I need to go, just because it's business. If I don't, Cat will surely fire me on the spot."
"Kara…"
"I have no choice, Alex. Listen, so I won't have my powers. At most I'll catch a cold and run the month sick. It'll be better than being fired, and maybe we'll return early because of it. I'm not going to say no to Cat."
"Promise me you'll check in daily?"
"Of course, Alex. I have to go book this flight, and check with her on everything. I promise I'll keep you updated. And besides, I've always kind of wanted to see the place. And we will be back for the New Year, on the 1st. It'll be different, but it's not something I can refuse."
"Oh my god, how… Ms. Grant, you own this?!" Kara asked, stunned at the massive home that spanned before her, like her apartment a hundred times over. Kara smiled at the sight even in its relative darkness, and marvelled at the glitter and shine the second Cat flicked on a line of light switches at the end of the hallway.
Kara stepped in slowly after taking off her boots, stepping into a kitchen that tripled the size of her apartment in and of itself, and had ceilings so high that they were practically begging for Kara to take flight towards the staircases and balconies that indicated upper floors. Kara placed her bag on the counter and stepped towards a beautiful silver spiral staircase, curious beyond measure to go explore.
"I…-" Kara started, and stopped, looking around for Cat, who had somehow disappeared in a seemingly simple hallway.
"Feel free to explore, Keira. I'm gonna go take a quick shower after the flight." Cat says then from a balcony on the other side of the kitchen, startling Kara.
"Alright." Kara said with a smile as Cat walked away with a shake of her head, and took the staircase up to step off somewhere on the third floor, smiling as she saw a view of the mountains far in the distance, and stars. It wasn't even that late yet. Kara grinned at the simple beauty of it and stepped up to the glass as she kept walking, more than excited to see this whole place. Kara looked around for Cat and then slipped the balcony doors open, stepping outside in her tank top and dress pants, not expecting the cold to hit her.
And it did. Kara was shivering within seconds and stepped back inside, closing the door right away, staring at her hands. Cold. And… weak. Kara wondered why. Of course her power loss would make her feel more human, but this… felt different somehow. More… active. Kara couldn't make sense of it. It had to be because of her powers, right?
Kara nodded to herself and kept walking, exploring. Yeah, it was just her powers. Of course it was.
