Chapter 9

Kara rolled her eyes at Mon-El, he was becoming even more annoying, if that was even possible, ever since he started working alongside her at Catco, there was no escaping his immature sense of humour or his blatant alien behaviour that she had to make excuses for and correct.

He unlike Kara was proud of his tattoos and wore short sleeved shirts to show them off, when he had first appeared Kara silently hoped that maybe if he was like her and had two of the same, but just like everybody else he had two different ones, he had never met anyone matching him but he was happy to just flirt with anything with a heartbeat, he didn't take destiny very seriously.

Kara had dated once or twice before, if you could even count one date going wrong 'dating' just because you were destined to be with someone, doesn't necessarily mean that you would meet them, destiny is a tricky thing, some people can go their entire lives without finding there soul mate, others go on to happily marry others and a few spend their days alone, knowing that there is someone out there for them.

Kara looked down at Mon-El who had his feet up on his work desk, she batted them off

"Kara?"

Kara turned at the sound of a voice calling her name and expected to be handed another pile of paperwork for Miss Grant, her eyes went wide when she saw who it really was

"Lena" she said in surprise as the Luthor came to a stop in front of her, looking a little out of place, eyes following her, Kara tried to ignore the blatant stares of disbelief

"Surprise visit to Catco?" the blonde asked

Lena smirked and dropped her gaze for a moment "No" she returned her green eyes gaze to Kara "I'm here to see you actually" she smiled

Stunned, Kara tried to make her brain connect to her mouth "You are?"

"L-Corp is hosting a gala this weekend, it's a Gala fundraiser for the children's hospital and…" Lena bit her lip

Kara had to remind herself to breathe at that point

"I was hoping you'd come" the raven haired woman looked up through her lashes

"Gala?" Mon-El was by Kara's side and it took all of her restraint not to elbow him out of the skyscraper

"Is that like a party?" he asked

"No, it's not" Kara snapped, trying to force a smile

Lena looked between the two of them, eyes curious, but she unlike most managed to ignore Mon-El and leaned in a little to Kara, lowering her voice

"You are literally my only friend in National City" she exhaled a little disheartened "Most people wouldn't touch a Luthor with a 10 foot pole, but…"

There was that lips bite again, drawing Kara's eyes before she corrected herself

"It would mean a lot to me if you were there" she looked almost pleadingly to Kara

Kara hated to see Lena almost begging for a friend

"Of course I will come" she smiled back, watching Lena's face light up "I'm honoured"

A moment of silence passed between the two women as they watched each other

"I love parties" Mon-El interjected, a red vine hanging from out his mouth

Kara was about to launch this guy into the milky way, if he didn't shut up and stop putting his nose in matters that didn't concern him

"Can I come too?"

"No" Kara said, trying to put authority in her voice but not wanting to sound aggressive

Lena once again looked between the two, seeing something that obviously wasn't there, her smile dropped a little

"No, of course your friend can come" She said forcing a fake smile "What's your name?"

Kara could see something in Lena's gaze as she looked at Mon-El but she couldn't place it

"Mike" He said with a smile, using his earth name "Of the interns"

"Well Mike of the interns"

Was that bitterness Kara could hear in Lena's voice, she wasn't sure

"Get yourself a suit and I will see you there" another forced smile

Lena glanced at Kara, her smile turning genuine, she turned to walk away

"Bye" Kara smiled, she could feel her cheeks reddening slightly as she watched the Luthor walk away through the numerous desks of Catco headquarters

She could still feel Mon-El's presence beside her,

"We are going to a party" he said enthusiastically

Kara gritted her teeth together, hard enough to cut through an inch of steel, all she could do in this room full of witnesses was to smack the red vine that was whirling around in his hand to the floor.

"Great" she muttered under her breath

She now had to deal with Mon-El's annoying presence at a high class gala, hosted by the extraordinary Lena Luthor. Kara sighed, a high class event and she didn't have anything to wear that would compare to Lena, who always looked so flawless, even after spending the whole day going to meetings, she still seemed to look immaculate.

She would have to raid Alex's closet she always had nicer and mature clothes, Kara looked down at her current attire, a floral shirt under a cheap navy sweater, she definitely needed her sister's help if she had any hope to fit in with the high class socialites that were bound to be at this gala.

She instantly swiped her phone open, scrolling through the numbers before finding her sister's number

It rang twice before the familiar voice came through

"Hey Kara"

"Hey, I need your help" Kara asked in a low voice, not wanting Mon-El to hear

"What's up?" she asked, suspicion already in her voice

"I've been invited to a gala and need some help actually looking my age"

She could practically hear the smile plastered across Alex's face.
