Summary: Kara/Cat femslash. Inspired by Lady Antebellum's wonderful song, and also my very favorite song of all time, Just a Kiss. Cover art is from the music video for Just a Kiss. I am removing this one's complete status for the time being and continuing it at the request of a reader who goes by the penname Lupeo. Thank you, Lupeo, this chapter is dedicated to you. You know what's funny, though? The original chapter had Cat discovering Supergirl being Kara. I wrote that one back in November and in Hostile Takeover, the episode that aired last night, 12/14/15, Cat figures out Supergirl being Kara. Funny isn't it? But then again, I always knew it would happen. Anyway, without further ado, I present Just a Kiss chapter 2.

Kara swallowed nervously, walking up to Winn, who was sitting at his desk. She passed Jimmy on her way to Winn, and spoke.

"Office, now...Both of you."

They met in the office they had set up for their operation.

"We may have a problem," Kara said, "Cat knows I'm Supergirl."

"How'd she find out?"
"Remember that interview I did?"
"Yeah?"

"When I came in for work the next day, she recognized me. She did say she's going to keep my secret," Kara said, leaving out the fact that Cat had said she was in love with her, since she knew Winn had feelings for her, and he didn't know she was a lesbian.
"Do you trust her not to tell anyone?"
"I don't really know. She seemed sincere when she said it, and I believe that if it doesn't endanger her life to keep it a secret she won't. But I do believe that if her life was endangered by attempting to keep the secret, she'd tell, to save herself."

"I might. I can't say for certain if I would, but I'll try to keep it," Cat said from where she was leaning in the doorway.

Just as Kara opened her mouth to speak again, a blast of energy shattered the window. Kara dove for cover, and after a few seconds came out, this time wearing nothing but her costume. She flew out through the shattered window, clenching her fists.
"Now you die, Kara Jor-El, Kryptonian scum!"

The attacker, a dark skinned woman with twin blades, both of which had Kryptonite imbedded in the blades, lunged. The woman unleashed a flurry of strikes from her swords, and Kara ducked. Kara lunged at her, swinging her fist at the woman's face. The woman unleashed a flurry of slashes and thrusts. Kara ducked most of them, but a single thrust got through, slicing open her shoulder. Kara cried out in pain, and flew backwards away from her foe. Kara breathed a jet of ice that engulfed the dark skinned woman, who fell towards the ground. The ice shattered, and the woman flew back towards Kara. Kara sidestepped as the woman stabbed at her. She fired a blast of heat vision which sliced open the woman's wrist and forced her to drop one of her blades. She took the other one in both hands and attacked again. Kara repeated the process, and the woman's remaining blade fell to the ground. The wounds healed almost immediately, and the woman dove towards her fallen blades. Kara unleashed a flurry of punches, calling upon her minimal DEO training. The woman blocked every blow, and grabbed Kara's wrists. She twisted, cracking Kara's wrists. Kara kicked the woman in the chest, knocking her away. Kara cracked her wrists back into place, and lunged again, unleashing another flurry of punches. The woman smiled evilly, then brought her palms together. A blast of energy sent Kara flying. She crashed through another window, wincing as glass entered her sword wound. Kara crashed into the floor of the office, coming to land practically at Cat's feet. Kara flipped to her feet and charged again, punching furiously.

"Your cousin would be ashamed of you, Kara Jor-El."

One of Kara's blows caught the woman in the jaw, knocking her head to the side and cutting her off from speaking again.

"Shut up, you little...," Kara spat, ramming her knee into the woman's stomach and stunning her.

The woman's eyes began to glow and she looked at Cat. Energy lanced out from her eyes, but Winn tackled Cat and knocked her away from the energy blast as it flew at Cat. Cat cried out in surprise as Winn struck her. Winn rose, letting Cat up. Another blast of energy flew at Cat, but this one hit her in the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. Cat cried out in pain as she fell. Kara couldn't help but become very angry when she saw Cat go down, and she unleashed a flurry of blows that knocked the woman back. Kara flew towards Cat, and knelt.
"Are you okay, Cat?"
"Yes, I'm fine, Supergirl, get back out there and take down that woman," Cat shouted, waving her arm.

Kara sprang, flying at the woman, who had grabbed her swords while Kara was distracted with Cat. Kara slammed feet-first into the woman, stunning her. She wrapped her legs around the other woman's arms, pinning them to her sides, and snapped her fists into the woman's face over and over again. The woman threw her away, and then several quiet shots rang out. Several Kryptonite darts protruded from the woman's chest, and she fell to the ground. Kara glanced back to see Alex kneeling, aiming a rifle out one of the shattered windows.

"Alex? What are you doing here?"
"I was assigned to capture this woman. I was following her and she came here."
Kara nodded, and moved to where Cat was sitting, and grimaced as she saw the wound the laser blast had inflicted on Cat.

"You okay, Cat?"
"Well, it hurts a lot, Kara," Cat said.
"Wait, she just called you Kara."

"Yeah, she knows that Kara and Supergirl are the same person."

"You told her?"
"No...I didn't. She...figured it out on her own. She promised me she wouldn't tell anyone, though."

"Do you trust her, Kara?"
"I don't know, Alex. I believe she won't tell unless her life is endangered by trying to keep the secret, though. So as long as no one suspects that she knows who Supergirl really is, it'll be fine."

"There's something you're not telling me, Kara," Alex said.
"Look, you're right," Kara whispered to Alex, "But I can't say in front of Winn."

They went into another room, and Kara spoke.
"Alex, Cat says she's in love with me. She says that's why she won't tell anyone. I couldn't say that in front of Winn because he doesn't know I'm a lesbian, and I think he has feelings for me."
"How do you feel about Cat, Kara?"
"I don't...I don't know. Right now my emotions are quite complicated. She's been treating me a lot better then she used to. Honestly, my emotions are a big huge mess. I might love her, or I might not. That's the situation I'm in right now, Alex."

Alex nodded sympathetically.
"I understand, Kara. I've been in the same situation you are now," Alex said, gesturing, "I had someone that it was inappropriate of me to love, who loved me, and then not known how I felt about them."

Alex put her hand on Kara's shoulder.
"Kara, just follow your heart. That's the one thing that is guaranteed not to lead you astray, ever. And if you ever need someone to talk to, or just to listen, even if I can't really help, I'm here."

She kissed her adoptive sister on the forehead and they walked outside.
