This one's going to be about Kara's first day in the office. Sort of, one-sided SuperNerd? (is that their ship name?)
Winn was staring at the clock. It was bright and early in the morning, but the pressure was on. Rumor has it that Cat Grant hired a new assistant. The problem? It's almost seven and that assistant isn't here. Cat's going to be walking through those elevator doors any minute.
Everyone in the office had already started placing bets about how long the new kid in the Co would last. Winn refrained so far, just waiting until he could see the kind of resolve in the person. And trust that he would see her. Even if Cat Grant didn't know his name, her new assistant's desk would be place right across from his. It was going to be an interesting morning.
As the second's ticked closer and closer to seven, Winn placed down the action figure of Superman he was playing with and stood up. Or he would've stood up if it weren't for the sudden shoulder shove that came out of nowhere, bumping him into the sharp corner of his desk, knocking a bunch of paperwork off, and spilling hot coffee all down his side and back.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I am- I am so sorry!" there was an arm picking him up with surprising strength, delicate hands fluttering about, trying to smooth out the wrinkles from his shirt. When Winn looked at the girl, all he saw were wide ocean blue eyes looking back and burning red cheeks. Suddenly his mouth felt dry. "It took me an hour to find the coffee place that Ms. Grant exclusively gets her latte from. And then, when the barista handed it to me, it wasn't at all what I ordered. They knew who Cat Grant was, so I figured they would know her order offhand. Instead it was a hot chocolate with whipped cream, made with whole milk, which Cat told me she hasn't had in years- and anyway, so the barista made a new one and told me I could keep the hot chocolate, but by then it was like 6:48 so I had to run down the street in heels trying to get here ahead of time. Now, I'm finally here, and I've spilled it all over you. The hot chocolate I mean. It's probably going to stain your shirt, and I am so sorry-"
"Where is my latte?" a voice rang throughout the room.
Those wide, panicked eyes again. Looking at him. Oh god. Is his heart seizing?
The girl twisted around in front of him, fumbling to pull the other drrink from the carrier. Even the back of her head was amazing. "It's, uh, I have it right here Ms. Grant." She held it almost pleadingly out to the other woman. Cat Grant looked at the girl, taking her sunglasses off slowly and taking careful steps towards the girl.
"You're my new assistant?" she asked with a piercing voice, ignoring the drink held out to her. The girl nodded quickly. Cat eyed the girl up and down for a moment, before taking the latte. "What's your name?"
"Kara, Ms. Grant. Kara Danvers."
"I have to say Kiera, I'm not impressed."
"Actually, Ms. Grant, my name is-
"Come along, Kiera. I have a meeting with Gina from the Capitol at three that I'd like you to schedule in, as well as a phone call I need to make with my son's nanny. She was late dropping my son off to school again. So after filling out the paperwork for the Greenfield Fashion Show project, I'm going to need you to hire a new one. And you," Cat said, striding towards her office before pausing, looking at Winn. "If you ever show up this ill dressed to work again, I'll take it as a sign that you no longer take your job here seriously." Cat took a sip from her latte, and walked into her office without further ado.
Kara gave Winn one more apologetic glance, and handed him a rolled up bag with the logo from the coffee place on it. "Sorry," she said. "I hope you like raspberries." Then she waved him goodbye before strolling after Ms. Grant.
Winn opened the bag, he saw three jelly-filled doughnuts in there and knew he was in trouble.
He loved jelly filled doughnuts.
He gave the girl three days.
