Kara hadn't wanted to do this. Let the record reflect that.
Mick had been wearing a hole in her apartment, almost literally, and she was as desperate as he was to allay his boredom so as not to encourage him to seek his own entertainment. That's what brought her to the point where he would shadow her at work. Admittedly, not her best plan, as she very much liked Catco when it was not burned down, but she couldn't take him to the DEO because of what happened last time with J'onn. Something she didn't want to think about again, so she was left with very little options. Desperate measures were needed.
"You work here? Seems right up your alley. So much sunlight and happiness… it's sickening."
She sighed, "Mick, you'll stay at my desk, not touch anything and talk to no one. Understood?" She used her best Supergirl voice in an effort to quell any sort of resistance from the crook.
"Or what?"
"I'll throw you into space."
Mick had smirked and opened his mouth to respond before he was interrupted. "Kiera! Get in here."
Kara panicked, only slightly, and tried to shove Mick towards her office before the same voice of Cat Grant stopped her. "And your friend too."
Kara cursed in her head, as Mick just looked smug. She sighed and turned to head into the office of her boss, Mick following behind her. "Hello, Ms. Grant. What can I do for you?"
Cat lifted her head up from her stack of papers and looked at her before her head turned to Mick, her eyes analytic. Kara snapped to attention. "Oh, Ms. Grant, this is my friend, Mick Rory."
Mick opened his mouth to say something, probably something that would get both of them in trouble, but Cat held up a hand to stop him before he could. "No."
There was awkward silence, as Cat continued to stare Mick down before Mick finally nodded. "Fair enough. You're on your own, skirt." And then, quicker than Kara thought possible for the large man, he fast walked to the elevator and out of Cat Grant's sight. Kara watched with wide eyes as her boss simply swept her hand away, dismissing Kara and turned back to her stack of papers.
Cat Grant was amazing.
