Not my first story, but a my first story to publish on fanfiction. So go easy on me. And JayKara are my favorite pairings so just letting you know all my shit is about them, so no complaining it being to objective and stuff I have warned you. Enjoy :)
It was the usual sunny afternoon in California as Kara worked in her private office in the now famous and powerful media company known to the world as Cat. Co industry. Kara adjusted her disguised glasses as she kept focus on editing the largest story soon to be published this afternoon. As her work kept her busy an email popped up on her screen with the title "The drunk one." Kara didn't have to look to know who that was as she always had to deal with this issue every Monday.
" I guess I don't even get a day off anymore" Kara signed as she opened the email. As she read the message it wasn't much but an instruction to meet in the Batcave tonight. This is was definitely bad if Batman doesn't even want to talk about Roger through an email it means he has crossed the line again.
" Great I have to do this all over again" she mattered as she fixed her hair that was tied in a bun. Just as she was about to reply to the email with a confirmation, a knock was heard on her door.
" Come in" Kara answered looking up from her laptop to see her the best photographer in Cat. Co and one of her close friends, jimmy Olsen, walked in with papers in his hand.
" Hey Kara do you want anything for lunch? Me and the others are going out to Bob's Burger," he asked with his famous smile that he always gives her when ever he talks to her. She knows that he always had feelings towards her even when she is Supergirl. And although he was a great guy Kara knew he was, she couldn't bring him to her complicated life that is half Kara Kent and the other Supergirl. He deserves better than that. Besides there was already someone else.
"That's fine jimmy thanks," she answered as she gave him her friendly smile.
"Are you sure cause we also driving by that coffee shop you always like. For Lauran of course" he said still standing by the door.
" I guess coffee won't hurt. I will just have black with two sugars," she said as she leaned in her desk.
" So the usual than" he stated.
" Yes the usual thank you" she replied with a laugh playing on her lips.
" Okay we will be back soon" he finished as he turned around and left the office and closed the door. Right after she made sure he left she returned her attention back to the email. She knew this situation is going to take some time especially since Batman wont even talk about it through an email. She has to find a place to stay in Gotham it would be better than flying from National City to Gotham. After sending a confirmation reply to the email she pulled out her iPhone from her purse. As she scrolled on her contacts she contemplated with herself if she should just get a hotel, but Barbara would never let it go if she did that when she can just stay with her. But than again that would mean taking a risk on getting caught about her secret and that was a problem with not only the daughter of the commissioner but a protégé of greatest detective in the world she was definitely going to find out something was wrong. She finally decided to take the risk and deciding that she just has to work hard in trying to not get caught. After a couple of rings she heard the red heads voice on the other side.
" Hey Kara, shouldn't you be working or are calling to check on your man?" Barbara loved to tease her about her love life especially her current one.
" Hello to you too, and no I know he's in Japan with some kind of mission" she relied as she leaned back into her chair.
" Yeah they haven't contacted for any backup, but I'm guessing they are almost done" she replied with a casual tone, but Kara knew she was as worried about them as she was if not more since she did consider them like family. Kara, feeling her own worries surfacing, changed the subject.
" That's good to hear, but I was actually calling to ask if I could stay at your place for a while?" Soon after she heard her friend chuckle as she replied, " even after so many years you still ask?"
"Well I don't want to seem rude," she stated trying to serious but failing to as she felt her own laughter catching up to her.
" Of course how long are you going to be staying cause Gotham is acting up I feel like something is going to happen" red asked her toned turning into her other identity.
" Yeah I heard about it" Kara said hoping it has nothing to do with her own problem but knowing her luck it probably was.
" Oh it's one of those missions that you never talk about isn't it? I guessing Batman asked you come here didn't he?" Barbara already guessed it out. In fact everyone in the Bat clan knew something was up, but she couldn't say what not even to her best friend.
" Yeah, that's why I'm asking to stay with you and not at the mansion. Or I would have to put up with Bruce constant nagging" Kara signed.
" You know I could help if you just tell me what it was that you are hiding" the red head reasoned as she always did. With a soft laugh Kara turned down her reasoning.
" Babs you know I can't Bruce will have my head if I told anyone"
" I know, I know but I can't see you as the dark and mysterious one that's all" she quickly reencountered.
" You probably get from him," she continued. Kara was taken aback from her joking, as she knew whom she meant.
"I do not, you just love being mean to me about this don't you" she replied as she laughed at the red head.
" That's because it's fun so anyway what time are you going to be here?"
" At 7 clock I will get some of my stuff and stay there for a while until Batman calls." She said as she checked on how much work she still have to finish.
" Okay I will be home by than. See you than I got some work to do" Barbara replied.
" Okay bye" Kara replied as she hangs up. She looked at her iPhone to see the time read 5:05pm. She has about two hours to finish the story and go back to her apartment get her stuff and fly to Gotham. Which shouldn't take that long but it was not easy when have to carry some things too. Putting her phone back in her bag Kara returned her focus back to her work.
