Thanks everyone for the positive response! I can't believe all the follows/favorites and reviews I got in such a short amount of time. I am truly not worthy.

My question for you is, should this end here or should it go on? In the meantime, please enjoy!

Chapter 2

I can't believe I actually had dinner with Cat Grant, at her house, with her son. She actually let me stay to eat dinner with them. Me. Kara Danvers. How amazing is that? I'll tell you how amazing…it's chocolate pecan pie, amazing Yeah. Can't handle, can ya.

** Friday the DEO. Kara's acting extra sappy, earning her side-glances and flat out stares from everyone. **

"Okay. Who is humming Love You Like A Love Song because I swear to Jesus, if I wake up in the middle of the night singing that song, there will be hell to pay."

Everyone shuts up but Kara, oblivious to the threat just made, who continues to hum.

"KARA!"

I jump.

"What? What did I do?"

"What, what. You've been acting extra goofballish lately and humming sappy love songs. What gives?"

I look around the room to find everyone's staring at me and decide to stare at my nails like I just got them painted, which I didn't.

"S-Sorry. It's just, I finally caved."

Alex chokes on her coffee.

"What's his name? I'll kill him!"

"What? No, I didn't have…I mean, it's not I haven't had before because I t-totally have…wait, what were we talking about?"

Winn cracks up.

"Wow, Kara. I never knew someone could turn that many shades of red before at once."

I sneer at him.

"Shut up. Anyway, there's no guy, Alex. I-"

"Then who's the girl?"

Everyone starts hooting and hollering over Vasquez's comment earning a huge blush from me and a death glare from Alex.

"Well…"

"Well? What the hell's going on here, Kara?"

I start belly laughing while walking over to calm Alex down.

"Chill. I-I finally went over to Cat's place Tuesday afternoon. It was so nice. She made cookies…not for me but for Carter, though I ate the first batch…and they, well he, invited me for dinner and she can't say no to him so she said okay and I stayed and did I mention she's a fantastic cook?"

Everyone stops what they're doing as J'onn stands up.

"Okay, who had Tuesday afternoon in the pool?"

Winn's hand goes up right away.

"Ooh! I did! It was me! What'd I win?"

J'onn looks in the kitty.

"One hundred and twenty dollars, Mr. Schott. Congratulations."

Winn takes the money and does a victory lap, high-fiving everyone around the table, stopping dead in his tracks when he gets to me.

"Oh, hey there, Kara."

I raise my eyebrows and smile broadly.

"Hi."

"This is, um, not what it looks like."

"Really? So none of you bet on when I'd go over to Miss Grant's house? Alright. So then you're going to donate that money to charity, right?"

His face pales as he lets out an exaggerated breath.

"Y-Yeah, e-exactly. How did you know I was going to donate it to..."

"The local women's shelter? Winn, that's terrific! They always can use donations. I'll go with you later when you drop it off, for protection. Don't want you getting mugged along the way."

Everyone snickers as he sits down pouting. Alex leans over and whispers to him.

"Shouldn't have done a victory lap, nerd."

"I heard that."

"Wa, wa, wa. Whatever. So, Supergirl, we want all the juicy details. Is this going to be a thing now like Tuesday's with Morrie?"

"What? No. She's not dying, Alex, she promised. She did say I could come back and visit again anytime, though."

A collection of ooh's and ahh's fill the room.

I stand up and start flailing about.

"What's wrong with that? She's my friend. Friends hang out, right?"

"Sure they do, Kara, when they have stuff in common and are around the same age. This is just weird. She used to be your boss, and a not so pleasant one at that especially towards you."

I wince.

"B-But she mellowed. Do not tell her I said that or I will vaporize you."

Alex chuckles.

"Aw, I think you hit an alien nerve, Alex."

She smiles wryly at Winn.

"Thanks, years of practice. Seriously Kara, you're humming love songs. One would think you went on a date and got lucky."

"Oh Rao! Why would you think that? It wasn't a date and, well, no one got lucky. Crap. Do you think she thought it turned into a date? Do you think she was she expecting to get lucky? My goodness Alex, Carter was there! Geeze, why did you let me bring wine?"

Alex doubles over laughing.

"B-Because I thought wanted you finally wanted to take things up a notch, that's all. Impress the lady."

"My goodness, why would I need to do that? She already likes me!"

Alex wiggles her eyebrows.

"She does? Ooh! Bow-chicka-wow-wow!"

"Oh. You. You. Child!"

I stomp out of the room.

"O-Oh, come back, party pooper. I didn't mean it. I-I totally meant it. Hey, where'd she go?"

"I-I think she left. Oh look, you can see her foot prints in the floor."

J'onn shakes his head.

"Are you two pleased with yourselves?"

Winn and Alex both look to the ground as Jon growls at them.

"No, sir."

** Whispering. **

"Hey, do you think Cat will cradle her in her arms then slowly, when she turns and looks into those sad puppy eyes, kiss her?"

Alex blinks.

"Oh man. You've given this way too much thought. Besides, it's Kara who's going to plant one on Cat as soon as she opens the door. Hope she has protection. Wait, what kind of protection would Supergirl use? No, no one answer that."

Everyone roars laughing.

Kara zooms back to Cat's penthouse as fast as she can. The doorman recognizes her and smiles.

"Hello there, Miss Danvers. Trust you're having a lovely day. Miss Grant told me to let you right on up whenever you came back, no questions asked."

I smile.

"O-Oh. Why, thank you. I trust you're having a lovely day, too, Martin. See you later."

He nods as he lets her into Cat's private elevator.

When the elevator dings, I look around but no one is in site.

"H-Hello? Mis-Cat? It's me, Kara. Martin, your doorman, let me up. A-Are you here?"

Cat waltzes out from a back room unaware of my presence.

"¿Dónde está el baño? Where is the bathroom? ¿Puedo tomar un vaso de agua por favor? May I have a glass of water, please? ¿Dónde está tu club local de lesbianas? Where is your local lesbian club? Wait, what? Ooh, I'm going to kill him when he gets home. Thinks he's Mr. Funny Man slipping that in there."

Cat takes her earbuds out and glances up, finally noticing me.

"Jiminy Cricket, Kara! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

I can't help but giggle at her reaction.

"J-Jiminy Cricket?"

"What, did you except me to say Geppetto instead? How did you get up here, anyway? Did I leave a window open or something?"

I stupidly look around.

"What, n-no. Martin let me up. He said you told him it was okay."

"Oh yes, I did do that. I guess I wasn't expecting you to make a habit of just popping in."

"Yeah, sorry. Neither was I."

She nods.

"So, what brings you by again today? Looking for more cookies? Give me more booze?"

I chuckle.

"No, and no, but thanks again. Those cookies were delicious."

"You're welcome, Kara. I'm glad that you liked them, although you scarfed them down so fast, I'm surprised you were actually able to taste them.

I fidget with my glasses.

"I didn't eat them that fast, Mis-Cat."

"Right, you really just pocketed them for later."

"Anyway, are you trying to learn Spanish?"

She blushes.

"Oh, you would hear that. Yes, just because. Carter took it upon himself to make me a pod thingy of some Spanish phrases and I guess he decided to be a wise ass in the middle of it."

I crack up.

"M-Maybe he was just seeing if you were really paying attention? You know, his version of a little kid asking for a puppy in the middle of a serious conversation."

"Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what he was doing."

"You have to admit, it was funny."

She smirks.

"Yeah, it was. Nice stall tactic, by the way. Now don't make me ask why are you here again, not that I mind the company."

"Reason? Oh, that. You know, it's nothing. Forget it. I'm sorry I startled you. I-I should go."

"You take one step towards that elevator and I will tell everyone your secret."

I stop and turn around.

"You'd do what?"

"I'd tell everyone your secret, Kara."

I start to panic.

"Oh, and what secret would that be, Cat?"

She raises a single eyebrow and smirks at me.

"I think you know the one, Kara."

My ears begin to feel hot.

"Cat, I don't know what you think you have on me, but I feel confident whatever it is could never be as juicy as some of the secrets I have on you."

She smiles.

"Oh, feeling brave, are we?"

I nod, as we stand toe-to-toe staring at each other.

"You pass."

I feel confused.

"Pass? Pass what? What did I pass?"

She smirks.

"You didn't flounder. You stood your ground and you even countered my empty threat with one of your own. Ha! As if you have any juicy secrets on me. Poppycock. You really are going to make a top notch reporter someday, darling."

I just stand there, continuing to stare at her.

"Huh? I don't understand."

"There's nothing to understand. I tested you and you passed. Now again, why are you here?"

"You mean, you're not going to tell anyone anything?"

She glares at me.

"Tell them what? That you eat like it's your last meal and someone's going to steal it from you? I hardly think people are going to find that fascinating."

"I do not eat like, I mean, I thought you were going to say something else."

She walks over and softly places a hand on my shoulder.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Kara. Relax."

I pout.

"Oh. O-Okay. Um, well the reason I came over is because I was annoyed. N-Not at you, Cat. I was annoyed at the people at the DEairy Queen. Dairy Queen. Yeah, there. They took bets on when I would visit you."

She bursts out laughing.

"The Dairy Queen? Seriously? I could see if you said CatCo or Noonan's or even that secret government agency Mulder and Scully work for but you keep insisting doesn't exist but Dairy Queen, Kara? That's a riot!"

"Okay, okay. It wasn't Dairy Queen. It was the secret government agency I keep insisting doesn't exist. Happy now?"

Cat does a happy shimmy walking over to her sofa then pats the other cushion for me to sit.

"Yep. Continue."

"Winn won. One hundred and twenty dollars. He did a victory lap and high-fived everyone."

Cat laughed.

"What did you do?"

"I'm making him donate it to the local women's shelter."

She nods in approval.

"So that's why you're annoyed? They bet on you visiting me? Kara, they were just having fun with you. You are rather, um, easy to tease, dear."

I fidget with the sofa cushion.

"It wasn't the betting that bothered me so much, it was that they thought you and I were on a date."

Cat smirks.

"Ah, I see. And whatever gave them that idea, Kara?"

"M-My sister told me to bring you wine. I was going to bring you your favorite latte. She said I should act like a grown-up, which you know I t-totally am, and I think because of that they all think that we're dating now. I also think it's because I was just so happy to have seen you again after so long that I may have be humming cheesy songs that may or may not have included love songs and I may have been easily distracted but that could mean anything. I could've just seen a puppy!"

She fights back a laugh.

"Well, I have seen you distracted by a puppy before. Mind blowing. I'm sorry they teased you but I'm also sure humming cheesy love songs didn't help your cause."

I nod.

"Yeah, guess not. Oh and get this, Alex, my sister, was ready to go out and kill some imaginary guy because she thought I got taken advantage of because I was so overly happy but when I said I finally visited you, she was ready to throw me a party. I just don't get it. I don't tease her about wanting to hanging out with Maggie or that she makes goo-goo eyes at her, n-not that I ever made goo-goo eyes at you, Cat, because I-I haven't."

Cat can't hold back her laugh any longer.

"My dear, sweet, innocent, Kara. What are we going to do with you?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"I-I'm sorry."

"For what? Having people think we're an item? I'm flattered."

"Y-You are?"

She takes my hand.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know. I thought you'd be mad or something. I thought you'd be upset that they would associate me with you, I mean, I'm a nobody and you're a somebody. You could do way better than me."

Cat squeezes my hand and pulls me closer, well I allow her to pull me close so she doesn't hurt herself.

"Enough of this self doubt stuff already. It doesn't become you. You are a very beautiful young woman. You are most definitely a somebody, too, or at least you will be someday, don't you worry about that. I'd be proud to have you on my arm, or vice versa."

I blink back a tear.

"Really? Why?"

Cat belly laughs.

"Did you just ask me why? You're too much."

She leans over and gives me a quick peck on the cheek.

I start to float a little off the sofa.

"Wow, that's a new one. I'm used to something else floating up."

"Huh? Oh, oh no."

I come back down.

"Cat, I-I..."

"Kara, breathe."

I take a deep breath.

"Feel better?"

"Yes. Cat, I-I'm so sorry I lied to you about being Supergirl. It's just, you're the Queen of All Media. The idea that you could tell the whole world my secret, well, I trust you but the DEO, not so much. Plus, plausible deniability. If you didn't know, no one would come after you. Y-You'd be safe. I have a lot of enemies out there who would love to destroy the people I lov-care about. I couldn't take that chance. D-Do you understand? Also, you were going to fire me if I told you!"

She just looks on.

"What can I say, I'm an ass. I pushed you and you did what you felt was necessary. In all honesty, when you said you were quitting instead of admitting the truth, I wanted to throw up but I couldn't let you see me like that."

"Like what? Upset? Regretful? Gee, thanks. I'd still be having nightmares."

She swats my arm.

"See, I saved you from that turmoil. Anyway, later you appeared with your doppelgänger, which reminds me, don't ever let that imposter cover for you again, such an incompetent plebe. I couldn't very well ask you to reconsider at that point. I'd look like a fool."

I mumble.

"He only stood in for me at my sister's request. "

Her eyes widen.

"He? Why? Wait, classified, right?"

"Yes and yes."

"Fine. Kara, as for your friends teasing you, just let it roll off your back. Let them believe what they want about us. I don't mind if you don't."

I blush.

"Cat, I don't want to give people the wrong idea. What if someone wants to be with you but backs off because they think we're, I mean, you and me, are a thing. That wouldn't be fair to you and I'm all about fair."

She smirks.

"I know you're all about fair. So am I."

"There, then it's settled."

"What's settled? I didn't know we settled anything."

I stand up.

"Darn, I was hoping that worked."

"Nope."

"Well, again, I don't want to give people the wrong impress-umph..."

Without a second thought, Cat stands up...on her tip-toes...and plants a sloppy kiss on Kara's lips.

"Not as romantic as I had hoped our first kiss would be but that'll do."

I am a little dazed.

"Uh, what?"

She laughs.

"Sit down, darling, before you teeter over."

"S-Sorry. I, um, I..."

"Kara Danvers, are you speechless? I never thought I'd live to see the day."

I giggle.

"Yeah, well I never thought I'd live to see the day where that just happened, either, but I guess there's a first time for everything."

Cat smirks.

"I would've done it sooner, but it would've been a conflict of interest. You were my assistant. Now, you're not. I'm not your boss anymore."

I try not to float again.

"You've liked me for a while?"

She kisses my hand.

"Yes. You seem surprised."

"No. M-Maybe. Y-Yes. You never said anything because of me working for you? But, I still am your employee, Cat, am I not?"

"Not directly, dear. Wait, am I reading this wrong? Oh my, I am, aren't I? Oh Kara, I am so sor-M-mmmm..."

I decided to be bold and kiss her like she just kissed me.

"Oh, wow. That was, not at all wet this time."

I smirk and raise an eyebrow.

"Oh. I'll have to, um, rectify that next time."

Cat bursts out laughing.

"Kara, did you just make a sex joke? M-Maybe you're not as innocent as I think."

I giggle.

"Cat, are you sure you want this, me? I mean you have time to change your mind. Nothing has truly happened yet except for two amazing kisses."

She cups my chin and looks directly in my eyes.

"Kara, darling, I do want this, you, and I think you do to. Am I right? We don't have to do anything you don't want to do or are not ready for, okay? I am not going to pressure you do I make myself clear? I want you to be comfortable. I want to make you comfortable."

I feel myself tearing up.

"How do you do that to me, turn me into mush inside? Gosh, are you trying to make me cry? Cat, you do make me feel comfortable, you never didn't. Well, there was that time you smacked my hand away from those cupcakes but other than that, you've always made me feel welcome and wanted...i-in your office I mean."

She smiles.

"Glad to hear. Alright. Let's go."

"Go? Go where?"

"Lunch. Don't think I didn't hear your stomach growling."

"O-Oh. Yeah, I am a little hungry. Where should we go?"

She smirks.

"Anywhere you'd like, my treat. And before you ask, no, this isn't our first date. I plan on making that a tad more, dare I say, romantic? That is, if you approve of a little romance."

I nod.

"Romance me away."

"Okay, now you made it weird."

"And you enjoyed every minute of it."

She rolls her eyes and waves her hands about.

"Oh shush you. Let's go, I'm starving. Someone decided to interrupt my schedule. Chop, chop."

I laugh.

"Right away, Miss Grant, right away."
