94 DAYS TO SUPERGIRL
"CatCo", part 7 of 10
Walking into that office, she'd learned not to get distracted by all the screens the way she used to, but today it was impossible for her to see anything else. She could only look at the images from the scene of the explosion. Miss Grant was looking at them, too, the office silent where the rest of the floor was in full activity.
"They won't get them all out in time..." Kara spoke, to herself, though at the sound of Miss Grant's voice she'd turned to look at her.
"We always think it's hopeless, and maybe it will be, this time, but not as much as that. A little fear isn't always a bad thing. You push a little harder, a little further."
Unless you can't.
Where is Supergirl?
Her eyes were fixed on that screen, and there was that small tremor in her again, the need to act, the frustration that she couldn't.
"There's been no sign of her," Miss Grant spoke, making her realize she'd been staring. "I can't imagine what could possibly be keeping her away," she went on. Kara looked at her, and she didn't know what to tell her. What could she possibly give her as an excuse solid enough to excuse Supergirl's absence this time?
"Sorry to interrupt, Miss Grant?" James appeared at the door, "Thought you'd want to know, I... got word from... well, Superman." He was purposefully not looking at Kara, she could tell.
"Good, can we expect him any time..."
"He can't make it, can't get anywhere near it. He says there's something in the air affecting him, not the rest, but..."
"But that might explain our missing heroine," Miss Grant sounded as intrigued as she was relieved. "Thank you, and do let me know if you hear more."
Kara met James' eye as he left the office, mouthing a thank you of her own, and he bowed his head.
"Now, where were we?" Miss Grant turned to her.
"Actually, I should get back out there, in case anyone needs me."
See you tomorrow!
