"Kiera, can you go a little faster please ," Cat scolded.

"Miss Grant I'm going the speed limit," Kara replied defensively. She didn't drive very often, never really needed to, so she was feeling anxious.

Cat sighed. "I don't know why my driver had to be sick today of all days." She paused and took a sip of her water. "I have to get to this board meeting and I cannot be late."

"Miss Grant, I just want to make sure to get you there safely."

"Honestly Kiera, is safely and quickly that much to ask?"

Kara frowned angrily and her increased her speed just a tad, going just barely 5 mph over the limit.

"Shit," Kara said as soon as she started accelerating. She slammed on the brakes, seeing the pile up beginning to form in front of them.

Cat gripped the seat as the car stopped short. She exhaled, thankful for Kara's quick reflexes."Are you ok?" Kara asked, looking back at panicked Cat.

Cat nodded. "I'm - I'm sorry," she mumbled quietly, feeling guilty at the pressure she'd put on the younger woman.

"It's okay," she said. Kara looked at the mess in front of her 6 cars, all were smashed up, flipped over or had smoke coming out of the engine. She knew what this would mean, understood the consequences, but she didn't hesitate. "I have to go." Kara was already opening the door.

"What? Don't be ridiculous you can't-" Cat stopped. "Unless you are-" When Cat looked back up, Kara was gone.

Later that evening, when Alex came over for their Thursday night dinner, Kara still couldn't quiet the thoughts in her head.

"Okay what's up?" Alex demanded.
"Nothing," Kara replied, unwilling to spill the news that would make her sister furious.

"When dumplings can't cheer you up, something is seriously wrong," Alex countered. Kara sighed. She couldn't debate it. That simply was a fact of life.

"Cat knows," Kara said.

"What?"

"Alex..." Kara warned. "I already feel like crap can you please…"

"Well what precautions have you taken? Is she at the DEO now? How do you know it won't be tomorrow's headline? Or worse she could be blogging it right now!"

"She's not," Kara said. "She won't."

Alex sighed. "Kara, I know you worship the ground that Cat Grant walks on, but we have to be smart about this. How did it happen anyway? Are you sure she knows?"

Kara sighed. "I was driving her to a board meeting and there was a massive pile inches in front of us so I..."

"So you..." Alex prompted.

"I helped!" Kara admitted, knowing her sister's response.

"Kara," Alex groaned.

"What did you want me to do watch them die in front of me?"

"There are police and EMTs and you could call 911. There was another way to handle this without exposing yourself. I know you want to save everyone Kara but if people know who you are the entire city could be at risk!"

"I saved every single one of them. Thanks for asking," Kara said. "8 adults, 3 children and an infant," she specified.

Alex took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for jumping down your throat. I know this is an area where we..." She trailed off.

"Agree to disagree," Kara said sternly.

"But we are going to have to tell Hank. And we are going to have to bring Cat in."

"I know," Kara said sadly.

"Finish your dumplings and let's go," Alex said, patting her sister on the shoulder sympathetically.

************************************************************************************

"Hank, we have a bit of a situation," Alex explained when they entered.

Since Kara was hanging her head down unhappily rather than springing into action, Hank knew it wasn't the type of situation they handle on a regular basis.

"Did you see the pile up on the news?" Kara asked.

"Yup," Hank replied, "impressive as always." Kara and Alex looked at each other each waiting for the other to say something first. "It looked like a run of the mill rescue," Hank said. "What's going on? Was Maxwell Lord-"

"No, no, nothing like that," Kara assured. "But when I encountered the accident," she continued, "I wasn't alone."

"She was with Cat Grant," Alex added.

"Who was already suspicious and now..." Hank looked at Kara.

"And now she knows without a shadow of a doubt," Kara confirmed.

"Alright," Hank said. "Let's get her in here. Where is she now? Why isn't she with you?"

"Because Kara trusts her," Alex said glaring at her sister. Alex wanted to add that her sister was, in fact, absolutely smitten with Cat, but she controlled herself. Kara was a very private person. And while she told Alex she was bi at age 15, very few others knew. Alex knew now was not the time, as much as the information may have been relevant.

"Okay, well we need to chat with her," Hank said, staying calm. "Kara, do you want to go get her or should I?"

"I'll do it," Kara said, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

************************************************************************************

Kara flew onto Cat's balcony. She figured she needed her Supergirl confidence for this situation.

Cat came outside and just stared at her in awe. They stood, well Cat stood Kara floated, in silence for a moment. "It's you," Cat said quietly.

Kara couldn't deny it any longer. She nodded, not sure what to say. She was feeling emotional but didn't know why, or did but couldn't admit it.

"So..." Cat continued, "now what?"

Kara shrugged. So much for the cape making her heroic.

"I must say, it's mildly disconcerting to see you so vulnerable while wearing that. " She gestured to the suit.

"I'm not powerful right now," Kara admitted. "You are."

Cat nodded understandingly. She inched toward Kara, who gently settled her feet onto the ground. Cat put her hand on Kara's shoulder. It was uncharacteristically reassuring. "I'm not going to tell anyone," she promised.

Kara smiled. "Thank you," she said, happy she'd been a good judge of Cat's character after all.

They stood awkwardly. "Is there anything else you need?" Cat asked. "Besides my word?"

Kara nodded and Cat laughed. "I figured as much." She sighed. "Let's go," she said, and they were off to the DEO.
