Kara was on her way to CatCo in Alex's car. The trip was short and quiet. The two sisters didn't need to talk. Alex wanted to let Kara take some rest. The young blonde was looking outside, her head resting on the window. She was thinking about all she will have to say once she was in CatCo. James would be easy: say she is fine and the DEO is working on the attack. Cat would be insistant on every little details of her accident but it would be easy to lie to her like on a classic day of work. Winn, however, she would have to have a longer and more intimate discussion with him. Alex pulled up in front of the building. Kara took her purse and looked at her sister.

"Thanks for the ride" she said smiling

"Anytime. Take care." Alex returned the smile.

Kara stepped out of the car and entered the builiding.

Kara arrived at her desk with a latte she had picked up with Alex on the way. Everyone was already working but it was quite early in the morning so she hadn't missed much. Winn was very supprised and happy to see her as she came and hugged him.

"Kara! You're definitely awake. I was so scared."

"I'm fine now." She said smiling. "Listen, I have to talk to you in private but I don't have much time right now so... How about you come to my place after work?" She said hesitant

"I don't know Kara...I don't know if "alone" is the way I want to see you."

"Winn, it's important. Or I wouldn't ask you."

"Fine." he accepted resigned. And he went back to his computer.

Kara was nervous about her future conversation with Winn. Like him, she wasn't very pleased to be alone in her apartment with him, considering what happened the last time they were together. But she had to do it because Kara couldn't stand the awkwardness of their conversations anymore, and more generaly, their relationship. Her next move was to see James. The young woman was hopping that his natural sweetness would calm her a little. Still, everytime she was around the photographer, a small part of Kara would get nervous but she always had repressed her feelings because he was already in a relationship with Lucy and she didn't want to disapoint Winn. Kara didn't want to hurt any of them. James was going to enter his office when she stopped him.

"James, wait!" she called

"Kara! I'm so glad you're ok." he said putting a hand on Kara's shoulder

"Yeah me too" she added stepping awy gently

"Do you know who did this to you?" the photographer asked not really realising what his friend just did

"No, not yet but the DEO is working on it"

"I'm sure I can help..." he started

"James, you helped me a lot already." She said interupting him. "Alex told me that you stayed at CatCo to cover me. Thank you."

"No problem. But let me know if I can do more." James insisted

She was about to say something but Cat interumpted them: "Kira! I see you".

"Duty calls" Kara said faking a smile. James smiled back and watched her going into Cat's office. The third challenge of the day started. Kara was at work for only a few minutes and she was already exhausted. The young woman wished so hard her life was just simpler and normal.

"Yes miss Grant." Kara sighted. "Here's your latte."

"Well...first day back and you're already perfect." She said after taking a sip.

"Euh...My sister told me you went to see me at the hospital." Kara started with her classic high pitched uncomfortable voice, adjusting her glasses

"Yes, I did. It might be suprising to you but I actually care a little about you... So, how are you? How is your head?" Cat asked already messing with Kara

"I-I'm just a little tired. But i'm fine, really." the blonde replied touching her forehead

"Great! So you won't mind staying a few more minutes after everyone left tonight." That took Kara by surprised.

"Euh...Actually I had something to..." she said a bit upset

"It wasn't a question Kira." Cat added taking her glasses off. "Plus it won't be long. And don't take me for an awfull person for asking you to stay after you just recovered, because what I will show you tonight, will change your life." the boss stated with her superior and proud look

Kara was a bit scared by what her boss just said so she stayed in front of her adjusting by rote her glasses, with some questions in mind.

"What are you waiting for? Back to work, now." Cat ordered coldly

"S-sorry miss Grant." Kara excused herself, stepping back.

What did Cat have in mind? What did she want to show her?

Kara went back to Winn's desk already trying to focuss on work to forget all the trouble she was into.

"Winn, I'm sorry but I might be late tonight. Miss Grant's fault."

"Euh, ok. Don't worry I'll wait for you at your place." he said confused

Of course he would.

AN: The next chapter will be a long conversation between Kara and Cat. I'm sure you already know what the subject will be.
