Thanks for all of the follows/favorites, I really appreciate it.

I think I may only have one or two more chapters in me for this saga. Please don't be upset. I don't want to loose my joy of this story. For some unknown reason though, I absolutely love writing about these characters. I may write another story later involving Cat and Kara just because I'm a sucker for SuperCat.

Again, I'm so very thankful for everyone who has been reading this, from the followers, to the causal viewing traffic. What started out as a dare to myself has become so much fun. I can't believe I forgot how much fun creative writing could be.

Alright, enough of my babble typing...please enjoy!

Chapter 25

Kara/Supergirl's P.O.V.

It's been a few weeks since Cat finally broke down over her mom and things are finally getting back to what we would call normal. Hope is zipping around now, making Cat dizzy, and Carter is getting ready to spend the week with his father for the first time in a while. He's not looking forward to it but I know once he gets there, he will have some fun. I also know that he's worried he won't be back in time for me to take him shopping for Hope's first birthday. He asked me to take him instead of Cat because he wants to make sure it's really special and trusts my judgment. I guess he figures she would have him choose something practical and I would choose something fun, I don't know. Whatever his reasoning, I'm honored.

** Afternoon at CatCo. Carter arrives with Hope in her stroller with ice cream and head into Cat's office. **

"Well, hello there! To what do I owe this wonderfully unexpected visit?"

Hope smiles brightly with chocolate ice cream all over her face while Carter looks at the floor and shuffles his feet.

"Kara got, um, called away. She dropped us off here before she left. S-She made sure we were safe in the elevator, first."

"I see. I also see you have ice cream. Any for me?"

Carter blushes and hands me a bag.

"I-It's in there. Butter Rum. The rest of Hope's is in there, too. Kara didn't think it would be smart to let her hold it on the way up here."

Cat smirks.

"And she was right. Let me guess, Hope had chocolate? Right, sweetie pie? You were eating chocolate ice cream."

Hope starts clapping.

"Ise seem! Ise seem!"

They both giggle.

"You know she spoils you both, right."

Carter nods, still looking at the floor.

"S-She thought I deserved a treat for getting an 'A' on my English paper. She felt bad about having to cut our outing short."

Cat beams.

"Carter, you got an 'A' on your English paper? Son, that's fantastic! I'm so proud of you!"

She gives him a big hug and ruffles his hair.

"T-Thanks, Mom."

* They eat their ice cream out on Cat's office balcony, enjoying each other's company. *

"Mom, do you think Kara will be gone long? I leave in the morning to go to Dad's. I-I don't want to leave without seeing her."

"I don't know, son. I can try to get a hold of your aunt but she may be busy, too. I know Kara wouldn't miss seeing you off for all the victory points in the world."

Carter smiles at The Settlers of Catan reference.

"I-I know. I just worry sometimes."

She gives him a squeeze.

"I know, Carter. Me, too."

Hope takes her empty ice cream cup and puts it on her head, smiling proudly.

"Oh my, don't you look darling."

Hope giggles.

"Pblth-pblth!"

"Yes, well I think this calls for a picture, too! Carter, care to be in it? Ooh, I know...why don't we all be in it, you know, like a selfless."

Carter giggles.

"I think you mean selfie, Mom."

Cat rolls her eyes, having purposefully messed up the word just to mess with him.

"Yes, isn't that what I said? Alright, now how do I do change..."

"Here, Mom, let me."

Cat smirks and raises an eyebrow.

"Are you implying that I'm too old to figure this out, son?"

His eyes widen.

"N-No. I just wanted to help, that's all. Honest."

She chuckles.

"I'm just teasing, Carter. Of course you can take the picture."

* Carter manages to take a couple of snaps before Hope gets fidgety. *

"Here you go, Mom."

"Thank you, my beautiful boy."

Carter blushes as he looks over her shoulder at the selfies.

"Mom, is that..."

Cat looks closer at the picture where Carter is pointing.

"No. No way."

"Yes, way!"

Both Grants in unison.

"Supergirl!"

Landing with a light thud onto the balcony, I zip over and scoop them both up and smother them with hugs and kisses.

"Surprise! You've been photo bombed by Supergirl! Pretty cool, huh!"

They both chuckle while Hope squeals and reaches for me.

"But how? I didn't even feel a breeze?"

Carter's eyes are wide and smiling.

"Supergirl, that was soooo cool!"

"Thanks, bud! I thought you'd get a kick outta it! As for a breeze, you're outside and it's already breezy so subconsciously you felt me but didn't know it was me."

Cat blinks at me as if she's trying to process what I've said.

"Uh huh. I take it everything went well early?"

I nod.

"Yep. I'm glad, too, because I didn't want to miss out on being home tonight."

"And did you get to finish your ice cream earlier or did you have to discard it?"

I pout.

"I had to discard it. I was so not happy about that."

Cat kisses me.

"We can get some more for you later, sweetheart."

"Yaaaasss! Ooh...Hope...not the hair, please. Thank you, baby."

Hope coos and nuzzles into me.

"Mommy."

I shoot Cat a quick look.

"D-Did you hear that? She said 'Mommy' clear as day and I'm dressed as Supergirl!"

Cat smirks as she stands up, walks over to us, and rubs Hope's back.

"Yes, I heard. She knows who you are, sweetheart, even dressed as Supergirl, don't you little girl?"

Hope looks at Cat and gives her a big smile before reaching for her.

"I know she knows who I am, duh, what I meant was how clear it was. I'm going to have to be more careful around her now when I'm in my suit until she understands that she can't, well, say who I am. Oh man, that stinks."

"Why does that stink?"

I look over at Carter.

"Well because this whole time we've been excited hearing her say our names and now that she's saying things clearer, we're going to have to train her not to say my name now. Oh, this is so confusing."

Cat gently guides me towards a chair seeing how my head appears to be internally spinning.

"Thanks, babe."

"Anytime. Hey, most of the time when you're in your suit and with Hope, you're home, here, or at the DEO. I guess from now on when you're in your suit and around her, we'll just have to call you Supergirl and try to get her to call you that as well."

"But Mom, I think Hope is smarter than that."

We both look at him then back to each other.

"I think he's right. Oh, Rao. Maybe I should just make a conscious effort not to be in my suit around her just in case."

Cat chuckles.

"I can see the headlines now...Supergirl's Secret Identity Revealed by Her Own Baby Daughter."

I roll my eyes.

"I'm serious."

"I know, I know. This is the first time it's happened, yes, so maybe it was just a fluke. Let's not worry about it for now, okay?"

"Okay. But still, I think I will try not to wear my suit around her, just in case."

Both Cat and Carter chuckle.

"If you insist, sweetheart."

Carter jumps up and runs over to me.

"D-Does that mean you're l-leaving now?"

I give him a big hug.

"No, bud. I won't leave until everyone's ready to go home, okay? That way, I'll follow you there. Sound good?"

He breathes a sigh of relief.

"Oh, g-good. You know I-I leave tomorrow to go to my dad's and I just want to spend as much time with you and Mom and Hope as possible before I g-go."

"Oh, you leave tomorrow? Hmmm...I thought it was next week."

Carter begins to pout.

"I'm teasing, bud. I know you leave tomorrow and I wouldn't dream of being anywhere other than with you, your mom, and your sister tonight. Come here. I'm sorry I upset you. I was trying to be funny. I guess I failed."

Even though he's getting a tad too big, he sits on my lap as I cuddle with him.

"I-It's okay. I knew you really wouldn't have forgotten."

Cat shoots me a look as I mouth 'sorry' to her.

"Carter, would you like to go somewhere special for dinner or would you like to have dinner at home?"

He peeks up.

"Um..."

He starts to think about which he would like to do more as his tongue begins to stick out, something that only happens when he goes deeper into thought.

"You don't have to decide now, son, you have some time. Don't hurt yourself thinking too hard about it. Gosh, I think his tongue's going to fall out when he does that."

I shift to look at him to figure out what she means and lightly chuckle.

"Nah. Pretty sure it's secure, right bud?"

Carter jumps as if having been surprised.

"W-What? Oh, yeah, secure."

Cat and I both laugh.

"CarCar, fun. Pblth-pblth!"

We all look at Hope and start laughing while she just stares back at us, not understanding why she was so funny.

"She's really starting to talk a lot better, Kara. I don't think I know anyone her age that can make sense, even if she doesn't know she's making sense. Do you think it's because she's * points up to the sky * not fully from here?"

I shake my head.

"You never cease to amuse me. She's just as much from here as she is from where you think you pointed to...which was no where near in the right direction, I may add."

Cat waves her hands about.

"Well you know what I meant and besides, you and your cousin won't tell anyone where the right direction is. Okay, now we're getting off point. What were we talking about?"

Carter laughs.

"You were wondering if Hope is picking up her language skills so well because she's half human, half alien. Proceed."

Cat blinks at Carter.

"How old are you again, son?"

"Mooooooom, you know how old I am. You were there when I was born."

"Yes. Yes I was. You're right, Carter. How silly of me to have forgotten."

He giggles.

"So then how old am I?"

She smirks.

"You're a thirty-five year old man trapped in the body of a twelve year old boy."

He roars laughing.

"I am not. Mom, you crack me up."

Hope starts clapping and dancing, caught up in the excitement.

"Isn't this just the cutest thing you've ever seen?"

We all look towards the balcony doors.

"Alex! When did you get here?"

She giggles.

"Just now. You didn't hear me? Wow sis, you're losing your touch."

She walks by and pats me on the head.

"Nuh uh. I was just focused on my family, so there."

I stick my tongue out at her.

"So mature, Supergirl."

"To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit, Alexandra?"

Alex lets Cat's use of her full name slide.

"Well if you must know, I came to make sure Supergirl was okay. Usually she checks in after a, um, exercise, but she didn't today. I figured she had to have come here and voilà, here she is."

"Ant Axis! Ant Axis!"

Hope starts waddling over to her Aunt Alex.

"Hey there, Stinky Butt! Looks like you've had some ice cream...huh...did ya! Did you have some ice cream? Was it good?"

Hope squeals in delight as Alex tickles her.

Cat motions to me to come over.

"Kara, are you okay? Did something happen to yo-"

I cut her off with a hug and whisper in her ear.

"I'm fine, babe, I promise. I just forgot to go back to the base for debriefing, that's all."

She kisses me as I use our bond to soothe her.

"Mmmm...I love when you do that."

I give her a squeeze and wiggle my eyebrows.

"I know."

"Auck, are you two done over there?"

"Yes, Agent Danvers, all done."

"Aldon. Pblth-pblth!"

Alex looks at Hope and giggles.

"Yep, they're all done. Pblth-pblth!"

We all start laughing as we gather up everything and get ready to go home.

"Alex, sorry I forgot to go back for the debriefing. I was flying past here and Cat was getting ready to take a pic...oh here, I'll just show you."

Alex looks at the photo.

"Kara, that's...AWESOME!"

"I know, right! I totally photo bombed them! They had no clue until they looked back over them."

"Well, you're forgiven this time, Supergirl. I covered for you. I don't think I looked as good as you normally do in the suit and the wig was a tad itchy but I tri-oomph!"

I lightly elbow her in the gut.

"Whaddaudothatfor?"

"Do what? I have no idea what you're talking about. See ya!"

I shoot off into the sky then call Cat on her phone.

"Kara, that wasn't very nice."

I giggle.

"Well she's a trained agent. She should've been more alert. It was a love tap, Cat, she'll be fine. I'll see you and the kids at home, babe. Love ya!"

"I love you, too, Supergirl. See you at home. Be safe."
