Summary: Kara/Cat femslash. Inspired by Lady Antebellum's wonderful song and my favorite song of all time, Just a Kiss. Go check it out! Anyway, cover art is from the music video for Just a Kiss.
Kara cornered Cat in their new apartment.
"Cat, there was something I wanted to ask," the younger woman said nervously, "I know I adopted Carter, and I know he loves having me as his second mother, but he's not purely mine and yours. How would you feel about getting a child that is purely ours?"
"I think that I would love to have a kid that is in part yours, beyond just adoption," Cat said carefully, "But with my being CEO of Catco, it wouldn't exactly be a good idea for me to carry a child. And I'm not willing to put you through the hell that is childbirth."
"Cat, I'm Supergirl. I can handle it. Do you not think I could handle it?"
Kara crossed her arms over her chest, and stared down Cat.
"No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I know you can. It's just that...childbirth is intensely painful, and I can't bear the thought of you going through that, Kara," Cat said, her protectiveness of her new wife taking hold of her.
Kara prepared to counter again, but then her phone rang. She checked it.
"I'm sorry, I have to take this. It's Alex."
Cat nodded as Kara answered. Kara groaned as she listened.
"Fine. On my way," she said unhappily, before disconnecting and looking at Cat, "I'm sorry, Cat. I have to go. This conversation is not over, so don't think it is."
Kara pulled off her regular outfit and donned her Supergirl gear. She flew out the apartment window, through the air and to the DEO headquarters.
"What's going on, Alex?"
"A cell of Kryptonian terrorists," Alex began as Kara raised an eyebrow, "and no, we do not believe they are connected in anyway to Astra. Anyway, they have taken over the White House, and we have reason to believe that they wish to install their leader as President. We need your help."
"Sure, I'll help. Can you make sure Cat's protected? After this, they may send someone after her."
"I will. I know how much she means to you."
"Thank you, Alex," Kara said, slapping her sister gently on the shoulder.
"I'll make sure you have clearance to fly to the security perimeter erected around the White House after it was taken over," Alex said as Kara ran out.
Five minutes later, Kara landed on the road in front of the blockade. The Secret Service agents trained their rifles on her.
"Identify yourself!"
"I'm Supergirl. The Department of Extra-Normal Operations sent me to liberate the White House."
"Stand down," A man shouted, "I was expecting Supergirl."
"So, what's the situation?"
"Kryptonian terrorists have taken over the White House. They have the president and his entire Cabinet trapped in the Oval Office. They're demanding that the President step down from his position, so that they can install their leader."
"Where do you want me to enter?"
"You'll enter through the north façade. We've got agents covering the south, and we've sent scouts in, so they expect us to continue approaching that way. They won't be expecting an approach through the south façade. You are to head directly to the Oval Office and rescue the president and the cabinet. After that, you are to take out the others. Feel free to kill them if you have to. Also, wear a wire."
"Okay. I'll go now, then."
Fitted with the wire, Kara ran to the back, and went in. She crouched, using her super-hearing to pinpoint the locations of terrorists. She could hear one breathing. She approached him from behind, wrapping her slender arm around his neck and beginning to choke him. She swept him to the ground, using her DEO training to bring him down, then twisted his neck with her super-strength. Another one approached, and she rushed him with her super-speed, putting her hand to his mouth so that he couldn't call out for help. He chomped down on her hand, but she slammed her head into his, stunning him. He pushed her off, preparing to shout for help. Before he could, he began to float. He was suddenly thrown out the back door, and onto the back lawn, where a team of DEO agents, led by Alex, had arrived. They took him into custody as Kara turned to find a green skinned man in a glowing red suit standing in front of her.
"Are you hurt, Supergirl?"
Kara recognized the voice.
"Director Henshaw?"
"My name is J'onn J'onzz. I am a Martian. I have been impersonating Hank Henshaw, your director, for years now. He...he's dead. I'll tell you, and your sister, more later. But for now, we've got a job to do," the man said, shifting into the familiar form of Hank Henshaw and drawing a pistol.
Kara could see green in the barrel.
"This gun shoots Kryptonite. It'll be effective against these terrorists."
Kara nodded, and spoke.
"Let's go."
A terrorist burst in, firing his submachine gun. J'onn fired his pistol several times.
"They know we're here!"
The Kryptonian fell to the ground, twitching. The 2 fought their way to the Oval Office, and entered. J'onn knocked out the terrorists and Kara picked up the president and one of the Cabinet members, flying out.
