Cat Grant was a feminist.
She believed woman should get the same opportunities as men. She understood that it would be a few (many) years before a woman can act like a man and not be judged for it. That like Perry White she can throw a chair through a window and no one would think of her differently.
She believes a man has no right to use a woman as his property. Or to even treat her like she is. She hates how woman are judged on their choices in mates, how if a woman goes after an older man she's a gold-digger, but if a man wen after an older woman he's a hero. Or even the other way around. An older man chasing a younger woman want the best out of life, but an older woman after a younger man was desperate or insecure.
A few weeks ago when it came out that The Lieutenant and Supergirl were married, or joined as they called it, there were many controversies. And not just because of their ages, which many people had something to say about, but because of The Lieutenant's previous loyalties.
People weren't stupid. They remembered the fight between The General and Supergirl. How it was obvious they were enemies. The fact that The Lieutenant wore a uniform similar to The General's made it pretty obvious he too was on the opposing side.
So when he changed sides many people made comment that he only did so because Supergirl spread her legs for him. When it came out they were married, those comments, previously only in gossip magazines, made it into proper papers and news agencies. A fact that caused Supergirl to restrain several of her kryptonian allies from attacking people.
CatCo was one of the few media companies that congratulated the two on their Joining and celebrated new defenders for Earth.
But.
Cat didn't like Non.
He was fine as the Lieutenant. He never acted like Supergirl was a damsel in distress or even like she was a strongest being in existence. He knew when to help and how to follow orders and even how to issue them. No, Cat had no problem with the Lieutenant.
Just Non.
The first time he came into her building it was with Maxwell Lord. He was wearing a fitted suit and thick rimmed glasses like Kara and Clark do. He had dyed his hair brown and grew facial hair, or had some holographic technology on that made it look like he did.
Cat knew that if he wasn't with Max, as his new business partner, she would have called security, or even the police, no matter if Kara vouched for him or not.
This was because he was the most unpleasant person she's ever met. He was insulting. He belittled her employees. He threatened her assistant Siobhan, even though she deserved it. He talked down to people and on more than one occasion has grabbed a person, usually Kara, around the neck.
Cat looked up, scowling when she saw the man in question. Unfortunately, since their wedding, Non Danvers, as he took her name, came into the building at lunch every day.
Non was carrying a homemade lunch with a power/energy smoothie as well as a bought coffee. He calmly placed the things on Kara's empty desk. He then walked around and sat in Kara's chair, ignoring everyone.
The hobbit Winn still winced whenever the man came close to him. James completely leaves the room and if Lucy was around, the woman's hand twitched at her side, like she wanted to shoot him.
Their reactions just added to Cat's dislike of the man.
Non would say in Kara's desk till the woman came back with Cat's lunch, grinning and squealing like a teenager each time she saw him, even though he hasn't missed a day since she said 'I do' or whatever Kryptonians said.
Kara would drop off Cat's lunch as Non stands up to great his wife. Kara would throw her arms around his neck as he aggressively grabs her butt and head, smashing their lips together. To Cat, and many people who still looked at them, it wasn't clear if Non was trying to eat her or prevent her from being able to breath. They would kiss for several moments before pulling away. Non would lower the hand on her head to her waist as Kara grabs her power smoothie, drinking half of it on one go. She would kiss him quickly before they arrange themselves for the rest of the lunch break.
Non would return to Kara's chair while Kara perched herself on her desk, one foot on the chair between Non's legs. She would open the lunch box, the delicious smell traveling through the building as they just talked. Sometimes they were force to leave due to an emergency, other people thinking they were having sex in one of the closets. Sometimes they did just go have sex.
On days they were pissed at each other, Non would still bring her lunch. Unlike today, Kara would scowled at the man and they would talk tensely with each other, sometimes even coming to blows. If it wasn't for the fact that Kara started the physical confrontation just as much as Non, Cat still would have called the police on the man for abuse. Instead she watches them. If it looked like they weren't going to stop, Cat would call Alex and Astra, who would force the two to leave before Kara did something that would force Cat to fire her. Those days they would be forced out of the building by the two woman, Kara coming back a few minutes later or if no blows were exchanged, Non would wait silently till Kara was done with her food and then leave.
Kara would finish her lunch and Non would take the lunch box and canteen where the smoothie was in. On a good day, Kara would kiss him again, muttering into his lips, no doubt using the words 'I Love You'. Non would grab her head again, pushing her forehead toward his and just stay like that for a few moments before he gently kissed her forehead. He never muttered the words back.
On bad days, Non would come back at the end on the day, another coffee in his hands. Kara would take it, putting it on her desk before grabbing the man in a hug, holding tight. On the days they come to blows, Kara would take out a first aid kit she has in her desk and leave as the end of the day, going to Lord Technologies. Cat knew this because she was there one day, ready to give Non a piece of her mind when she came by his office and saw them treating each other's wounds.
So yes, Cat didn't like Non. She honestly thinks Kara could do better. That Kara was too sunny for the expressionless man. Too kind for the rude a-hole.
But Non loved her. He didn't say it, but his actions spoke louder than anything. She's seen them fight together, both ready to give their lives for each other. She's seen them eat together, Non handing her things as she worked and talked with him at the same time. She's seen them after fights, both domestic and work related, how they wouldn't let go of each other's hand, even if they weren't talking.
They're relationship wasn't perfect and Non went against Cat's feminist ideas, but…
She watches Non say something and Kara laugh loudly, covering her mouth so the food doesn't fall out. She sees his mouth twitch up slightly, before returning to broody.
Cat covered her mouth as she smiled at the sight, so sickenly sweet.
