Kara entered Cat's office. She was thankful to receive Cat's message asking for help with an emergency. Kara just experienced the worst of the worst of Thanksgiving dinners, with Alex and her foster mum, Eliza, getting into an argument over Alex's job as a big sister to keep Kara safe and hidden from the world. Just thinking about the situation gave Kara a headache, so when an evacuation route that Cat created for her unknowingly, she gladly took it.
Kara stopped dead in her tracks though, when she saw CJ standing next to a raging Cat. Kara casually pointed at CJ, "Didn't I just leave you at your apartment an hour ago?" she asked slightly confused.
"Yeah, you did. But like I told you, I hate an empty house and I knew that Cat was going to be too stubborn not to work on Thanksgiving. So, I thought I'd come and bother her with some company. Plus, she's willingly paying me over time so, yay more money."
"I always work on Thanksgiving thank you very much. I know it might seem sad to you two, but I love it. Carter is with his dad, my mother won't eat a flightless bird and I am not pulled in 400 different directions by employees that need constant wet nursing." Cat informed.
"Well, at least you can be thankful for silence this year and also Kara, because she is going to fix this electrical problem we have here because I can't figure it out. I have been out smarted by wires." CJ pouted causing Kara to chuckle and Cat to shake her head with a small smile she tried to hide.
"What's the problem?"
"Well I had a last-minute conference call to London and Beijing and nothing is working. Not my computer, not my phone, my back up phone. I got that text off to you and then boom. Everything just died."
"I tried restarting the sever, made sure everything was plugged in. Didn't think there was any point in calling customer support because a: its Thanksgiving and b: all the phones are out and I didn't want to use mine just in case the hospital rings." CJ explained.
"Let me take a look."
Kara looked, poked and prodded, tapped and typed at the computers for a couple of minutes, trying every trick in the book she knew related to computers, but this had her stumped.
Kara let out a defeated sigh "I think we need Winn's help."
"What's a Winn?" Cat asked obviously confused.
CJ stifled a laugh, turning her back on Cat and Kara so she wouldn't crack.
"He's- he's the IT guy. Sits right across from me." Kara was stunned that Cat didn't even know her own employees. CJ wasn't surprised in the least.
"Cat's social skills strikes again." CJ sniggered.
Suddenly all the lights on the entire floor went out. "What fresh incompetence is this?"
"Wow, Thanksgiving must really have it out for you this year Cat." CJ said, looking anywhere else apart from Cat's unimpressed face.
"Gobble, gobble. Miss me?" a familiar voice said. All three women looking around the room for the familiar face of CJ's girlfriend, who last they heard and knew was unconscious in hospital.
Cat and CJ spoke simultaneously.
"Leslie?-"
"Babe?-"
"Nnnnoooo, Leslie Willis is dead." Leslie's face appeared on the wall monitors of Cat's office. "D-E-A-D, dead. Shot in that Cat chopper of yours. No, this is Leslie two point zero. Livewire, and you and I… we're going to have words."
The women were dumb founded at what they saw. "My God Leslie." Cat said right before the monitors went black and sparks flew out making the women jump back. The sparks turned into electricity which started combining, forming the body of Livewire.
Sending out bolts of electricity straight out of her hands, Livewire zapped at two free standing lamps that stood at both sides of the room, making them burst into flames and sparks.
Kara and Cat started to run while CJ just stood there, lost. "Babe?" CJ said in a soft tone, not wanting to set her off or startle her. Leslie's head snapped in her direction, just starring, watching.
CJ started slowly walking towards Leslie, with her hands raised showing she wasn't going to hurt her in anyway and that she wasn't armed. CJ stood right in front of Leslie and looked right into her pitch, black eyes, eyes she no longer recognised. "Please, don't do this Les." Tears started falling from CJ's eyes. "I know you must hate Cat at the moment, but if you go down this path it will be nearly impossible to return from it. I love you Les. Please don't throw us away, this isn't you." CJ was saying anything that came to mind. She was panicking. She knew Leslie was going down a dark path she probably will never leave, but she also knew she needed to buy time for Kara and Cat to get out.
CJ raised her hand to Leslie's cheek, about to caress it like she'd done during the many years of their relationship, but this time Leslie grabbed her wrist. "Oh CJ, now that's where you're wrong, I finally feel like the real me, the me who doesn't have to hold back anymore. The me, who doesn't have to worry about ratings or pissing off the great Cat Grant. This power has set me free, and I'm going to get the revenge I deserve. First Cat, then Supergirl." Leslie then grabbed CJ by the face bringing her closer so she could whisper in her ear. "I don't need you anymore CJ. Once I finish with Cat and that flying bimbo, I'm coming back for you. But don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm just going to use you as my personal fuck doll." After finishing her speech Leslie licked CJ's ear, making her shiver in response.
Crying silently, her heart broken, CJ tried one last time to reach her girlfriend, even though she knew it was pointless. "Please Leslie, we can fix this."
Leslie let out a dark, throaty chuckle. "I don't want to fix it!" hitting CJ with her electricity, sending her flying, smashing through the glass walls of Cat's office and landing on top of the pink jaguar that sat behind the reception desk, breaking it in two, her unconscious body landing right in front Cat who was hiding under the receptionist's desk.
While CJ was talking with Leslie, Cat told Kara to go get security, which was twenty floors down. Cat knew security probably won't be able to do any good but at least Kara would be out of harm's way.
Cat couldn't see anything, but from what she heard she guessed Livewire was in the wiring, jumping from computer to computer, eventually transforming into her physical form again in one of the offices, still looking for Cat. Taking a chance at a peek, Cat looked around just above the reception desk, seeing Leslie's back facing her. Cat took a chance at running for the elevator, only making it half way before a zap of electricity stopped Cat dead in her tracks. Cat let out a breath. If she was going to face Livewire, she wasn't going to show her fear.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty." Livewire had an evil grin on her face as she slowly walked towards Cat like a predator to it's pray.
"What happened to you Leslie?"
"I've transcended. Do you really care how or why?"
"Not particularly" Cat said shaking her head.
Livewire threw her whole body into shooting a bolt of electricity at Cat hoping it would be the last time she would have to deal with the irritating woman. But to her dismay, Supergirl smashed through a nearby window shielding Cat from the blast at the last minute.
After a few seconds of Supergirl absorbing Livewires electricity she finally ended the blast, letting Supergirl gather herself. "You don't have to do this, let me help you."
"Good as is." Livewire went for another bolt of electricity, but this time Supergirl counteracted it with her heat vision. The two locked in a surge of power till Livewire faulted and sucked up Supergirl's heat vision dissolving into electricity, just to reappear again in her human form again, her energy now restored.
Kara turned to Cat "You need to get out of here, GO!"
Cat saw the menacing look in Livewires eyes "Oooohhh crap." Cat took off into a sprint towards the elevator.
"Thanks. I was feeling a little depleted." Livewire said to Supergirl. She noticed Cat entering the elevator, she jumped into her electrical form, disappearing from Supergirl's sight. Without Supergirl noticing, Livewire zapped at the elevator's power, causing it to plummet to the ground with Cat Grant inside fearing for her life.
Livewire reappeared on the wall monitors "Oh Supergirl. Look Cat's stock is plummeting." she said as she started cackling in an evil manner.
Supergirl raced to the elevator doors, forcing them open. Supergirl didn't waste a second, racing down, grabbing the elevator and guiding it slowly to the ground. Once the elevator was safely on the ground, Supergirl ripped open the top, seeing a terrified Cat Grant huddled in the corner with a look of terror on her face. "You're safe now Miss Grant."
"Thank you." Cat breathed out in a relieved sigh and a thankful smile on her face.
