And yet again SuperGirl saves the city.
The City's hero take a punch to the face today.
Cat flips the channels on the tvs in her office watching the news. She bites her lip as she examines the footage carefully. She sees Kara take another punch tothe stomach and fly backward.
"Come on sweetheart." Cat whispers watching her lover struggle. She has been pretending not to notice that Kara has been struggling in fights lately.
A crossed town Kara lays in a field trying to catch her breath from the last grueling fight. She has been almost losing fights left and right lately. She is so weak from not interacting with her mate and she doesn't know how much long it can last.
"Kara!" Alex comes running a crossed the field to her little sister. A moment later the helicopter touches down.
"Al… hey." Kara whispers lethargically and Hank runs over. He scoops up the young hero and carries her over to the chopper.
They take the drained hero back to the DEO and put her in the sun bed. Kara sleeps away the afternoon but doesn't feel much better. Finally Kara wakes up and stumbles out of the room heading to Carters school.
"Where the hell are you going?" Alex stops her at the DEO door.
"I need to get Carter from school." Kara whispers leaning against the wall tiredly.
"Will you see Cat?" The worried older sister asks.
"No, i'm just picking him up and walking him to CatCo." The hero says pushing off the wall to leave.
"Kara you need to see her. You cant keep going on like this. You need to strengthen up and you know the only way is being near Cat. You need your mates strength to recharge." Alex trys to reason with her younger sister.
"I want nothing more than to be near her, but she really hurt me." Kara whispers moving to leave the building again.
"Well here, at least smell this." Alex says pulling out a blouse and handing it to Kara.
"What the hell is that?" Kara asks taking it and she can smell it before she brings it to her face.
"Its Cat's, you need a boost and you can get it from this." Alex says as Kara brings the coat to her face and takes a deep breath.
"Thank you so much." Kara says and kicks off the wall with renewed strength.
"You need to go get some time with your mate." Alex calls after her sister.
"Yeah, yeah." Kara waves them off.
A few minutes later Kara waits out front of the school for Carter. The doors open and the young boy runs straight for her.
"Kara!" He yells and wraps her in a hug.
"I was so worried about you. i saw you on the news and i was worried something was going to happen to you." He whispers into her neck.
"No, no. Honey I'm okay." Kara soothes him and they walk away from the school.
Cat looks down from her office windows and sees Kara walk up to the building with her son. She rests her hand on the glass as she watches her son hug her lover tightly. She misses Kara so much, but her lover is ignoring her.
Her lover kisses her sons head before walking away. A few moments later Carter comes into her office. He ignores her and goes straight to Kara's old desk.
"Carter?" Cat calls but her ignores her.
—
Later that night when Cat comes into her apartment carter is still not speaking to her. She feeds him dinner than puts him to bed. With a heavy heart she makes her way to her bedroom. When she pushes open the door she sucks in a breath.
Kara is laying half in the room through the doorway grasping Cat's only sweatshirt in her hands. Cat instantly feels guilty seeing her lover so broken. The older woman drops her person and all but runs over to the broken hero. She drops to her knees and smoothes out Kara's hair.
"Pretty girl… there's my girl." The exhausted hero looks up at her lover and babbles incoherently to her.
"What are you doing?" Cat asks and Kara pulls the shirt tighter.
"just need a sec-… to recharge than… i'll go." the younger blond says burrowing her face in the shirt.
"No, come on love." Cat whispers trying to help her lover up. With a lot of struggle she finally gets Kara into a standing position and guides her to her bed.
"where we going cat cat? We going-… to bed? sleepy, sleepy hero."
Cat sits Kara on the edge of the bed and starts undressing her carefully. Kara makes a movement to resist but Cat shakes her head and finishes undressing her of her hero suit. Cat pulls a teeshirt onto Kara than pushes her firmly back onto the bed.
"Cat?" Kara whispers worriedly when Cat moves away from the bed.
"Sh love, ill be right there." Cat says changing quickly before crawling into the bed with the hero. Cat wraps her arms and legs Kara under the covers pulling her close. Kara lays stiffly but soon relaxes into her mate.
"I'll go in just a moment. i don't want to out stay my welcome." Kara whispers brokenly but Cat just holds tighter.
"Your not going anywhere baby. I'm sorry about what i said to you. Just rest right now though and we can talk later." Cat whispers into her lovers hair.
"mmk cat, cat. my cat." Kara burrows into Cat and kisses her neck. Over the next couple of moments Kara kisses Cat's neck and scoots closer to the older woman. Kara breathes in her sweetheart and begins to feel stronger.
Kara smoothes her hands all over Cats body gently. Kara takes Cat's chin and turns her face to hers. Cat has little tears in her eyes that she did not expect. Kara kisses Cat's chin and wipes her tears away.
"I've just missed you so much." Cat whispers and Kara shifts up some and kisses her lightly on the lips.
"I have missed you to." Kara kisses her a little deeper and Cat shuffles into her.
Kara rubs her thumb over the skin on her hips as she moves on top of her love. Cat moans into her mouth and rests her hands on Kara's back letting her lover take control. she talked to Alex earlier and the older sister explained how Kara recharges her strength so Cat is letting her take what she needs.
"Can i keep going?" Kara asks pulling back a little to look into her lovers eyes.
"Of course, take what you need my love." Kara kisses Cat lightly on the forehead.
"Let me know if you want me to stop." Kara whispers and begins kissing her girlfriend again.
After Kara drinks in her love she falls back into the bed panting. Cat curls into her younger girlfriend and pants heavily. Kara kisses her lovers forehead and breaths her in as she feels her strength come back fully.
"Can we talk darling?" Cat asks staring at the roof.
"Of course."
"I'm so sorry for all of those terrible things i said to you. I want you to know that i love and trust you more than i have ever loved anyone. Carter father is a very hard and scary thing for me. I loved his father so much and i was young, our love with fast and ended badly. He… he cheated on me and left me 7 months pregnant. After Carter was born he tried to sue me for full custody and take him from me. When Carter said that he wanted to see his father and that you encouraged it, it scared me so bad." Cat whispers and Kara laces their fingers.
"I would never tell him to go against anything you say, but you didn't talk to me and i didn't know anything about that situation." Kara whispers
"I know love, I'm sorry i didn't talk to you about it." Cat whispers and Kara sighs knowing that was hard for Cat to say.
"I just need you to talk to me from now on. I cant go through that again."
"I will do what ever it takes. please just don't ever leave me again." Cat whimpers and Kara kisses her cheek.
"I love you." Kara whispers pulling her sweetheart closer.
