Two Worlds Collide
Chapter 1
Kara woke up with a feeling of dread, she looked to the right of her and saw her nightstand with a bottle of water on the side and quickly downed it.
She looked out of the window and saw that the sun was up and ready for the day and realised that she had to go to work within half an hour.
Suddenly there was a loud banging at the door.
"Kara! Are you in there?" yelled Alex.
Kara groaned quietly to herself and quickly got up out of her bedroom. As she walked towards the door she heard some more banging. "Come on Kara, open the door, it's locked and I forgot the spare key."
"Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming." Kara trailed off.
Kara opened the door and Alex barged her way inside. "Haven't you got work soon?" Alex deadpanned.
"Yes I do, now if you don't mind I only just got up and have to get ready, and as you know I have work, why are you here?" Kara sighed.
"Well, I need a favour. I'm supposed to be taking Maggie out but Hank scheduled a meeting with the DEO later. I know Maggie would understand but tonight is our anniversary and I want to do this. Please can you explain to him why I'm not there? Make up some excuse about how I got injured.. I don't know, going down the stairs or something..?" Alex pleaded.
"Oh come on.." Kara laughed, "You really think that a big badass agent like yourself, that Hank would believe you 'falling down the stairs'. And besides, haven't you only been going out with Maggie for like a month?"
"Yes, when you put it like that, it sounds kinda silly. I'm sure you can think of something better. What's your point? I really really like Maggie and I don't want her to think that I'm not putting in any effort, okay?" Alex exclaimed.
"Okay fine.. You know you could have just phoned me and asked me right?" Kara laughed.
"Yes i know.. And I also know that Mon-El managed to get you to drink a little again last night, I wanted to check you were up in time for work." Alex said.
"Haha, very funny. Besides, I only had a glass and I feel absolutely fine." Kara said. "Do you really think I'd be so bad this morning after one glass?"
"One glass? I'm Surprised you haven't fallen over with your huge hangover yet."
"I am not that bad," Kara said, "...am i?"
Alex just gave Kara a look.
"Okay, okay. Now if you don't mind Alex, I'm going to go get ready for work."
"Alright, see you later then, and let me know how the briefing goes after my date." Alex said
"Sure, just if I come over? Please, please make sure you are both dressed" Kara pulled a disgusted face.
Alex went bright red, laughed and walked away. Kara sighed to herself and rubbed her head. Maybe I did drink a little too much last night, Mon-El probably put ten different shots in the one glass, knowing him.
Now what should I possibly wear today? I grumbled to myself as I went to my clothing rack to get ready for the day.
Later on...
As I took the elevator up to work someone screamed to keep it open. I quickly grabbed the door and the elevator moved back.
"Ah Winn, you're just in time." Kara said.
"Oh haha, I forgot my harddrive and i especially need it today otherwise Miss. Grant will probably fire me. Hey.. have you seen the new girl yet?" Winn said.
"No.. what new girl?" Kara said with a feeling of dread.
"Oh.. you know, Mrs. Grant hired a new student intern in our department. How did you not hear her in the last meeting?" Winn exclaimed.
"Because i wasn't at the meeting Winn."
"Oh yeah sorry forgot.. Off doing your thang." Winn laughed.
"No, Winn. Don't say that again like that. And yes if i wasn't doing my 'thang', then a whole bus of kids woulda crashed." Kara said.
"Hey, you got up on the grumpy side today, didnt you?" Winn said as the elevator pinged open.
"No.. okay, I might have had another drink last night from Mon-El. Surprisingly I'm feeling it after one glass." Kara explained. "I have no idea how he knows what drinks will go through our bodies or not."
As we both turned to look out we both jumped out of our skin.
"Well well." Cat said tapping her foot in front of Kara and Winn looking at her watch. "And what time do you call this? If i didn't know better, i'd say you guys want to be fired and chucked onto the street for ruining my precious time. Well we all know hobbit here wants a job in his hole. But you Kiera, I thought I taught you better."
Kara looked at her watch and saw she was 4 minutes late. She raised her eyebrows, "I am so sorry Miss. Grant, I um, had to get your latte and the que was extra long today for some rea.."
"Okay Kiera, if I wanted your life story I would have asked for it.. Wouldn't i?" Cat stares at me with disapproval and pursed lips. "And i never ask for a latte."
I couldn't help but stare at her lips a little extra, noticing how nicely shaped they were. Then I realised what I was doing and quickly glanced away.
"Yes I know, sorry, your chai green tea." Kara said glancing around at the office to see if anyone noticed her mistake. Rule one working with Miss. Grant, never annouce she's having anything unhealthy or fattening in front of others.
"Come along then," Cat clapped loudly, startling Winn, "This briefing is important today and it involves both of you.. Unless you want to be fired. Then by all means waste another second of my time." As Cat turned around, she stared at me with a thoughtful look.
Kara and Winn scrambled to catch up with Miss. Grant and followed her into the office.
"Now, we all probably thought that the headline today was going to be Supergirl. But while she was off saving lives blah blah blah, another person showed up opposite in this footage," Cat said as she pointed towards the screen. "Now it looks as though everyone is completely unaware, including Supergirl, however as you can see by the eyes, this thing is clearly not human."
"Who the hell is that?" Winn said to Kara.
"I have no idea Winn, I never saw them there yesterday."
"What on earth." James said as he moved closer to them. "How did no one notice this guy standing right there?"
"I have no idea, James. I cannot remember there being someone else with me."
"It's weird though, he just stood in plain sight staring at you." James explained.
"Now.. I don't know if Supergirl is just tired from clearly such an exhausted day. You can see that this weird thing had abducted a child." Cat said with sarcasm. "I'd say Supergirl is slacking, and we need to warn the citizens, in case you know, anymore mishappens appear when Supergirl is trying to save people."
"Oh no!" Kara said. "I have to go to the DEO, I can't believe i never saw it happen right in front of me."
"Not yet Kara, you can't just walk out at the start of your shift." James said.
"I know, I shall give it a moment and then i'll be back as soon as possible." Kara sighed.
Cat stared me down, knowing that I was whispiring to my two mates. She stared between James and I for a little while, almost as if she was glaring at us. Probably thinking we were flirting in a work place, which she has stated many times that it's not allowed while we work.
"Now now kiddies." Cat said, "It's time for you all to get on. I should hope each of you know what you are doing, and if you don't.. just get out of my sight and don't come back."
Everyone started dispersing out of Mrs. Grants office. "Apart from you Kiera." Cat said exhaustedly.
"Yes, Miss Grant."
"I need you to pass these folders off to the reporters room and as your doing that i need you to hand some letters out to each person in this office, when your done with that I'd like you to report back to me with the findings of each person here."
"Of course, Miss Grant, and may I say you look very nice today." It was too late when I realised what I was saying. I could feel my face heat up as though i was stood right in front of a flame and it was burning me. In all fairness she looked her usual self, her usual beautiful self. With a blouse tucked in and a fancy jacket over her shoulders, her skirt formfitting and that amazing necklace she wears all the time. 'oh my, what am I thinking' Kara thought to herself.
Miss Grant just stared at me, too shocked to say anything.
"I shall get right onto those tasks." I quickly mumbled as I half sprinted, half stumbled out of her room. Apart from that awkward weird mouth blurt i normally find myself doing, I thought what a perfect opportunity for me to dissapear for a bit and sort out what I messed up yesterday.
