As promised, a little angst...but not too much because I don't like it. Hahaha

Enjoy! ;-)

Chapter 25

Kara/Supergirl's P.O.V.

Well today went better than expected. Had a lovely lunch at work with Cat on her private balcony where we may or may not have broken some of her ground rules, snapped and almost killed my sister during our training session, and told Cat that if we have sex we could become bonded for life and she'd be stuck with me forever. Yep. Best day ever!

** Next day at CatCo. Cat and Kara are going over the Cat's daily schedule making some changes when Kara gets called away. **

(Whispering)

"Cat, I need to go. Supergirl is needed. I'll come back as soon as I can. Love you!"

(Whispering)

"Be safe out there Kara. And did you just say you love me?"

I'm out of the building before I can respond.

** Later that evening, back at CatCo. Kara flies by Cat's balcony to see if she's is still there, which she is, so she goes in for a landing onto the balcony. **

I walk into her office see Cat sitting on her couch, reading over some copies for the next issue.

"Hi babe. Sorry I had to leave so quickly."

** Kara leans down to give Cat a kiss, but Cat turns away. **

"I-Is everything okay, Cat?"

She looks up at me, but it's almost as if she's looking through me.

"Oh hello. Yes, everything is fine. Why do you ask?"

I sit down next to her.

"You seem a bit distracted, that's all. D-did I do something wrong?"

She finally snaps to.

"What? No. Why would you think you did anything wrong? You told me you had to leave because you **pointing to the Supergirl suit** were needed, said you'd be back as soon as you could, then said love you. And I know you heard me ask if you had said that but yes, you were in a hurry so you couldn't respond, I get it. So I just sat there feeling like an idiot for the rest of the day wondering if you really meant it or if you had said it just in case you didn't make it back."

I just stare at her.

"Cat...I'm so sorry. You're right I did hear you. And you're also right in that I didn't have time to turn around and answer but you know I'm not like that. Why would you think that I would say that I love you just in case I wasn't going to make it back? That's absurd."

As soon as those words left my mouth, I wanted to swallow them back.

She scowls at me.

"Absurd? You think I'm absurd? Go home. I can't deal with you right now."

I start to tear up.

"Cat. I don't understand what's going on. Please, talk to me. Tell me how I can fix this. Please."

"Go home."

I get up and head towards the balcony.

"I do love you, Cat. And I'm beyond sorry for making you feel bad. It was never my intention. Call me later if you feel like talking."

She doesn't say anything so I take off...crying all the way home.

** An hour later at Kara's apartment. Cat knocks on the door. Kara answers wearing her Supergirl PJ's Alex bought her. Cat can see she had been crying. **

"Hi Kara. Is it alright that I'm here?"

I smile and allow her inside.

"Of course it's alright."

She gives me a timid smile.

"I would've called but then I figured I'd just stop by. I wasn't sure you would really answer your phone. Besides, it's always best to apologize in person after acting like an jackass."

"Cat, you have nothing to apologize for. I should be apologizing to you. I-"

She pulls me into a hug.

"Kara, you truly did nothing wrong. I don't know what came over me. I know you're not one to say something like I Love You and not mean it. It's just that you said it so fast than ran off. I suddenly got overwhelmingly worried about you...more so than usual when you're off being Supergirl...I just felt so vulnerable. I'm sorry that I snapped at you, sweetheart. I'm so, so sorry."

I feel tears on my shoulder.

"Babe, it's alright. Why don't we sit down, okay? I'm going to get you some water."

"Thank you, sweetheart. Are you sure we're not bonded already? Maybe feeling each other up the other night jump started it."

I almost trip over my rug as I head back to the couch.

"Um, I don't think that's how it works...I think."

Cat belly laughs.

"From what you and your sister told me, I don't think so either."

I'm taken aback.

"M-my sister? Is that what you spoke to her about when you whisked her away? Our future sex life?"

Cat is still laughing.

"Kara, darling, relax. And I didn't whisk her away. Hahaha I simply had some, uh, scientific questions for her, that's all. Nothing Earth shattering."

I raise an eyebrow.

"Scientific or physiological questions? Oh my God, you did not ask her if you were going to explode, did you?"

She rolls her eyes.

"No I did not. I just may have asked if, when, we do become intimate, if everything, well, will work the same way."

I feel light headed.

"You asked my sister what now? D-did she answer or just die of embarrassment, like I feel like doing?"

She smirks and takes my hand.

"She did seem a tad mortified about discussing her little sisters sex life, but she did answer my questions and was very professional."

I pout.

"Why didn't you just ask me?"

"Although I know you would tell me the truth, I felt that I needed a more, um, physiological explanation honestly and who better to give me one than your sister? Please don't take it personal, sweetheart."

I feel slightly annoyed.

"How can I not? Don't you think I know what would happen to me if I have sex? Not that I'm a virgin...I think. No. No, I'm not. You should've just asked me."

Cat squeezes my hand.

"I just wanted to make sure I didn't hurt you, Kara. That's why I talked to her. I know you're bullet proof, but being with another person, that way, is entirely different. What if we started and I somehow trigger your freezy breath or made your laser vision go off? Seriously Kara, you could either turn the place into an igloo or burn it down."

I suddenly burst out laughing.

"That would definitely give a new meaning to in the heat of passion. Hahaha"

She starts laughing as well.

"It most certainly would."

I lean over and give her a big kiss.

"I'm fairly certain I can resist using my freezy breath and that I can keep my heat vision under control but if it would make you feel more comfortable, I can always keep my glasses on. Look, they're lead-lined for your protection and mine."

I wiggle my eyebrows as Cat sits quietly for a half second before belly laughing.

"You're a piece of work, you know that? Hahaha"

Cat suddenly notices my pajamas.

"Supergirl pajamas. Really? I don't even know where to begin."

I giggle.

"Alex got them for me as a joke. Turns out the joke is on her because they're really very comfy."

She rolls her eyes.

"I wonder if they come in other styles like Naughty Supergirl or Mischievous Supergirl. Ooh... Salacious Supergirl!"

My mouth falls open.

"Um. Uh. Huh?"

Cat can't control her laughter as she pulls me over to her into a hug.

"It's just too easy. Way too easy."
