Eventually, Chief Morrison made his way to Cat's office. He found the two women still crouched behind Cat's desk, with Kara's arms wrapped around the older woman and Cat's head resting on Kara's shoulder. He cleared his throat, and Kara looked up at him and smiled. He knew that smile. He couldn't quite place it, but he'd seen it before. Somehow, he had the feeling he'd seen it on someone other than Kara Danvers.

Chief Morrison shook his head to focus himself. "Ladies, I'm going to need to ask you a few questions."

They both nodded. Kara easily lifted Cat into her arms and brought her over to the couch. The chief watched in surprise – Cat certainly wasn't heavy, but the young woman didn't even appear to be exerting herself. Oblivious to his interest, Kara wrapped her arms back around Cat and looked at him expectantly.

Chief Morrison sat down across from them and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. We were going to arrest him, but we wanted to collect the information first. We called some of the women, and somehow, he must've found out." He took out his notepad. "So he just showed up here?"

Kara nodded. Cat began to summarize what had happened, with Kara adding details as she remembered them. When they got to the part about Todd taking out his gun and Kara running toward him, Chief Morrison looked at her in surprise. "You ran toward him? Don't you know how dangerous that was?"

"Well, I– It wasn't like– I mean– He was going to shoot her. What else could I do?" She stared at him, a look of steely determination in her eyes, and then suddenly blushed and glanced downward. "I got there in time," she mumbled uselessly.

Something finally clicked in Chief Morrison's head, and suddenly everything made sense. "I suppose it helps being bulletproof," he offered.

Kara looked up in a panic. "What? I… I don't know what you mean by that."

"It's all right, Ms. Danvers," the chief said, smiling. "Your secret is safe with me. But you have a beautiful smile, and I remember it vividly."

"There is no secret,' Kara protested, flustered. "I'm just Kara. I don't know what you're–"

The chief waved off her denials. "Forget I said anything. I apologize if I made you uncomfortable, and I will never mention it again."

Cat smiled at him, and pulled out a card. "Tell you what. If you ever need to reach Supergirl, just call me. I'll know how to get in touch with her."

"I appreciate that," the police chief said, nodding in gratitude. "I think we're done here for now." He stood up and shook each woman's hand. "I am truly sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Kara, but it was nice to talk with you again." He looked at Kara closely. "I'm thinking we should keep your heroics just between us. I wouldn't want people to start speculating."

Kara smiled despite herself. She suspected she could trust this man with her secret, and he really was sweet and thoughtful. "Thank you," she said sincerely.

He nodded. "If either of you needs to reach me, for any reason, here's my private cell." He wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it to Cat. Then he smiled at the two women, nodded, and left the office.

They sat back down on the couch. Kara couldn't help putting her arms back around the older woman. "I'm not quite ready to let you go," she admitted softly. Cat smiled and pulled her in for a kiss. "Ms. Grant," Kara murmured, "everyone can see us."

Cat nodded. She would have preferred to find a better way to break the news, but it was too late now. She might as well take advantage of the opportunity. "Let them. They probably heard your declaration of love, and they already saw you try to save me. I think our secret is out." She kissed Kara again. "So let's show them how much I love you."

Kara smiled happily. "I love you too, Cat."

Cat glanced out at the bullpen, which was filled with people staring at her. Kara followed her gaze, and blushed deeply at the sound of a wolf whistle. Cat surveyed the faces of her employees, and was surprised to see that most were smiling at the development. She rolled her eyes, and then yelled, "Get to work, people!" She had an image to maintain, after all. Kara grinned at her and kissed her again, and she quickly forgot about everything else.

By the time they were ready to quit for the evening, Cat had finished the article she was working on. She'd chosen to temporarily put her Astra article on hold, knowing that she needed to first write about that day's events at CatCo. Kara's article, meanwhile, had been sent off to editing. Now that the two of them no longer had to hide how they felt about each other, they were able to spend the day working side-by-side in Cat's office. They fell into a companionable silence, broken only by Kara's occasional questions or Cat's request for assistance.

Just as they were packing up, Kara's phone rang. "Hey, Alex," she said. "What's going on?" She had talked to Alex earlier, after Todd's surprise appearance, and she knew that her sister was trying to avoid taking her away from CatCo today. "Kara, I just wanted you to know that there's a bank robbery, but Astra volunteered to handle it. I think it would be a good way for her to introduce herself."

"That sounds great, Alex. Let me know if she needs any help."

After hanging up the phone, she briefed Cat on the news, and watched as Cat called reporters to the scene and instructed them to get as many good shots of Astra as they could. "Looks like I'm going to need to stay for a while, and work on that article," Cat murmured.

"Let's do it together," Kara offered.

Cat looked at her skeptically. "Kara, I love you, but I do all my writing on my own. I'm not much of a team player."

Kara laughed. "Don't worry; I wouldn't dream of writing the article for you. I just thought maybe I could type up some notes for you – information about Astra's history, maybe a few quotes from Supergirl about her."

"That's not a bad idea," Cat said thoughtfully.

"Good." Kara grinned. "Because I already did. I'll send it to you."

"What would I do without you?" Cat murmured.

"Oh, you'd be just fine. But I always like helping you, when I can."

"No," Cat responded. "I wouldn't be fine at all." She stared at Kara for a moment. When had this woman become such a vital part of her life? She couldn't even imagine life without Kara anymore.

Kara could see the turmoil on Cat's face, and she knew instantly what had caused it. Cat didn't like to depend on others, and she was clearly uncomfortable with the thought of needing Kara. Kara stepped around the desk and sat down on Cat's lap, not caring that she was in full view of the entire bullpen. She wrapped her arms around Cat and kissed her gently on the mouth, then whispered, "Cat, I'm not going anywhere. I'm yours." She ran her hand down the side of Cat's face. "I need you too, you know, and that terrifies me. But you're not going to lose me, Cat. I could never love anyone else the way I love you."

Cat smiled warmly at the woman who had stolen her heart completely. "You're making me look soft, you know," she said. Kara smiled back, and kissed her again.

Outside Cat's office, people throughout the bullpen were smiling, wide-eyed, at Kara's impromptu display of affection. They knew that this was not just an office fling; it was obvious that these two were completely in love. Kara even brought out Cat's softer side, as evidenced by the fact that Cat actually allowed Kara to sit on her lap. On her lap! Of course, Cat would snap back into her office persona any moment, and they would all be lectured, but it was worth it to see Cat genuinely happy.

"I'm not paying you to stand around and stare. There's work to do here, people!" Cat was standing in her office, glaring at the entire floor, but they could see the smile she was fighting to hide. They turned away and went back to work.

Astra landed in front of the bank and surveyed the scene with her x-ray vision. The robbers were inside, waiting as tellers loaded sacks full of cash. She had two choices. She could wait until the robbers tried to make their escape, and avoid dealing with bystanders, or she could interrupt the process now, before anyone else got hurt. She decided on the latter option, and headed inside.

She strode confidently inside, and quickly disarmed the man standing guard at the door. Everyone else in the bank turned around and stared, so she decided to give them a show. She bent the man's gun in half and then used her super-speed to appear right in front of the other two gunmen, who were standing next to the tellers.

"Hand over your weapons," she demanded.

"Who the hell are you?" asked one of the robbers, with just a trace of fear in his voice.

"I am a friend of Supergirl." Tired of waiting, she grabbed the gun easily out of his hand, and then spun and knocked over the other gunman. She elbowed the first man in the head, and punched the second, knocking them both out cold.

When she saw the man by the door starting to run, she quickly sped over to corral him, and carried him outside to the policemen who had just arrived. She handed him over, along with the three guns she had collected.

"Thank you, Miss…" the officer said, staring at her in confusion.

"My pleasure," she said, ignoring the question in his eyes. Then she took off, flying away before he could ask any more questions. Astra could have answered those questions, of course, but she wanted to leave the explanations to Cat Grant. She thought the woman deserved to break the news herself, and felt she owed it to Cat to give her the chance to reveal the information. So for now, she would remain a mystery.

Two hours later, Cat was finally done. She waited as Kara finished reading through the article, and met Kara's smile with her own. "Cat, this is perfect," Kara said, her eyes filled with love. "You're such an amazing writer."

"Do you think it's ready?" Cat asked. The minute the words left her mouth, she cringed. Cat Grant never needed anyone else's approval. Cat didn't doubt herself, ever.

Kara grinned. "Cat, you know it's perfect. Let's go home."
