Thanks again for all of the reviews, follows, and favorites! I'm not worthy. LOL
I hope this isn't too cheesy. ;-)
Enjoy!

Chapter 11
Kara/Supergirl's P.O.V.
I kissed, really kissed Cat Grant, Queen of All Media, and she knows that I'm Supergirl to boot! I must be dreaming! Less than twenty-four hours ago I was panicking over my feelings but now…now I want to yell from every rooftop that Cat Grant and I were making out! My sister, Alex, is going to freak out when I tell her. I hope she's going to freak out in a good way, though. Hahaha
** In Kara's apartment after Cat drops her off. **
"Alex, I have something I need to talk to you about."
Alex sits down with two boxes of pizza and grabs the remote.
"What is it Kara? Should I keep the show on pause?"
"Um, yeah."
Alex looks at me with unease.
"Uh oh. What did you do that you don't want me to start up Homeland again? It must be serious."
I feel a panic attack coming on and just blurt everything out.
"Well it's not that serious, I mean, phsft, Cat and I just made out on her balcony tonight at CatCo after we both confessed our feelings for each other. She's a really great kisser by the way, and oh, she knows I'm Supergirl, too."
Alex's jaw drops open.
"You. Did. What."
"Huh? N-nothing. It was a joke. I'm kidding. Hahaha! I got you!"
She throws a cushion at my head.
"You. Did. WHAT!"
I stare at her.
"Please don't be mad at me Alex. It just...kinda happened. We were working late-"
"Like you two usually do but what, tonight you decided to make out instead? How does that thing just kinda happen, Kara? And how does she know you're Supergirl? Did you tell her? You did, didn't you...in the heat of passion. Oh God, why did I just say that? Oh God, now I'm picturing it! Oh God, I need to go to the DEO right now for a brain bleach."
I try not to laugh at her hysterics.
"Don't yell at me! She figured out the Supergirl thing all on her own Alex, she's not stupid. As for the other stuff, well…if you must blame someone, blame James for bringing it to my attention."
"James? So this is his fault now? How so?"
"Yes. I had lunch with Cat the day before, as Supergirl you know, and he planted it in my head that Cat liked me, well Supergirl, well me…both of us -"
"KARA!"
I jump.
"Uh? Oh, sorry. Well, then he asked me if I liked her, too. After I fell out of his chair, which reminds me, somehow I have to figure out how to tell Cat that James needs a new chair because I accidently broke his. Hmmm...
"Kara if you don't get off topic one more time, no desert!"
Now my jaw drops.
"Okay, okay. Now where was I? Oh yeah, after James asked me if I liked her, the more I thought about it the more I realized that yeah, I do like Cat. I mean I really, really like Cat if you know what I mean. Haha"
Alex covers her eyes and ears as if to shield them from what I'm saying.
"Dear God. You really want me to have that brain bleach, don't you?"
I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
"James told me there was nothing wrong with liking Cat and that there's nothing wrong with spend time with her and Carter. Then he had to make it worse by adding that he was pretty sure Cat had a thing for me. After that it was stuck in my brain, you know, it was all I could think of. Cat must have picked up on it."
Alex smirks.
"So Cat Grant is a mind reader? Shall I drag her to the DEO for questioning?"
I force myself not to zap her with my heat vision.
"No, she is not a mind reader Alexandra."
"Do not call me that Kara Zor El Danvers."
"Ooh, big sis using my full name! I'm quaking in my Supergirl boots."
"I bet you are. Now stop changing the subject, Keira."
I cringe.
"Fine. After we got done with what we were working on, I asked her if I could sit out on her balcony for a little bit. I wanted to clear my head and I thought the fresh air would help. She looked concerned and stepped out of boss mode and went into friend mode. She asked if she could help, listen. How could I say no? I tried to use the 'my friend' scenario while we spoke, but I goofed up. I have a feeling she knew I was talking about the two of us to begin with though. Well, she took my hand then flat out asked me if I had, um, romantic feelings for her. I said yes then burst into tears."
Alex winces.
"You cried? Oh Kara. How did she handle that, I mean, I didn't think she did tears?"
"She normally doesn't. She actually took my hand, then put her arm around me and kinda laughed saying something to the effect of if I was crying over confessing my feelings for her that she couldn't imagine what I was going to do when she said she felt the same way about me. Haha"
Alex smiles.
"Well in all seriousness, I really should speak to her...make sure that she knows the consequences if she tells the world your secret."
"She won't tell."
"Kara, you don't know that."
"Alex, she told me that she won't tell anyone about me being Supergirl. She promised."
"Well I need her to promise me...and sign some paperwork stating that if she does tells your secret, you will melt her face off."
"ALEX! I will NOT melt Cat's face off!"
Alex rolls off the sofa laughing.
"I-I'm kidding! I-I'm kidding! I know you won't. Hahaha! You should've seen your face! Hahaha!"
I pout.
"You're not funny."
"Yes. Yes, I am."
I stick my tongue out at her.
"Oh, that's mature. Hahaha Seriously, she does need to sign a nondisclosure about your identity. It's for your protection and hers. Plus, I'd like to give her the 'Speech' while she's there.
"The 'Speech'? What 'Speech' are you talking about?"
"You know, the 'if you hurt my little sister, I'll hurt you - speech' speech."
I glare at her.
"Are you seriously going to give Cat Grant that speech? I don't know if she'll be honored, mortified, or just laugh at you. Probably all three."
Alex puffs her chest out.
"Well I'm your big sister and I am supposed to look out for you. Plus it's my job to give anyone the third degree that's interested in dating my little sis. Hey, don't think Carter won't give you the same speech about dating his mother. Afterall he's technically the man of the house."
I am panic-stricken.
"I-I never thought of that. Do you think he will? I will I be able to handle that? He's just so cute and I just want to ruffle that curly head of hair of his when I see him. I don't think he'd appreciate if I did that while he's telling me that if I hurt his mom they'd never find my body."
Alex starts laughing, causing her to choke on her pizza so I thump her on the back.
"Please be more careful, Alex. If you must laugh at me, please do so when you're not trying to swallow your food."
That causes Alex to laugh even more.
"Glad you find me so amusing tonight. Gosh, what if Carter doesn't like that I like his mom? Oh man, what do I do then? Oh no, that's going to suck. Cat will surely choose her son over me I mean, she gave birth to him. I can't compete with that."
Alex is still in a fit of laughter.
"Kara, you and Cat only made out one time but your making it sound like the two of you have been carrying on some torrid love affair and now you're secretly carrying her love child. Relax! Wait...you're not secretly carrying her love child, are you? Or is she secretly carrying your love child? I don't think Eliza will know how to handle if her adopted alien daughter's secret lover, who's like the same age she is, makes her a grandmother."
I burst into tears.
"Kara, I was only kidding! I'm sorry. Please don't cry. Come here, let me give you a hug. I'm sorry, honest."
I accept her offer of a hug.
"It's okay Alex, I'm fine. I don't know what came over me. I guess I just got a little overwhelmed. And to answer your question, neither Cat nor I are pregnant with each other's secret love child. Ew for thinking that."
Alex looks at me seriously.
"What, you don't want kids together?"
"Yes. Wait, what?"
"Bwahahaha You said yes! Bwahahaha
I realize what she had asked.
"Shut. Up. You are not funny."
"Oh yes I am."
"Seriously Alex, what if Carter doesn't want me to date his mom? What am I going to do?"
"Kara, relax. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thanks Alex."
Alex grins.
"And did I mention that I'm happy for the two of you?"
"Y-you are? Seriously?"
She grins bigger.
"Yeah. It's about damn time you two finally acknowledged your feelings for each other. It was becoming almost painful watching you mope around whenever you weren't with her. James owes me twenty-bucks!"
I throw a cushion at her head.
