When Kara finally went to sleep that night, CJ was still on her mind, and it annoyed her. Why am I still thinking about her! I know the connection between Cat and CJ there's nothing more to it, urgh! That song she played, god her voice is so sad but beautiful argh! JUST GO TO SLEEP KARA! She did eventually fall asleep, singing the song CJ sung in her head, over and over again.

It was the day that Kara was due to fight Red Tornado and she had mixed feelings about it. On one side she really wants to let off some steam and what better way to do that than beating up a robot? But the robot was military property and that meant seeing General Lane again and he always rubbed Kara the wrong way. He was badly mannered, rude not to mention he outright insults her just because she's an alien, yeah he was an asshole alright. Still Kara was willing to put that aside and was ready to show him what she's made of. Today the Red Tornado will be beaten down to scrap metal.

Kara just got to her desk at CatCo, just as she put her stuff down the inevitable call of "Kiera!" came echoing out of Cat's office. Kara picked up her IPad and headed to her boss' office.
"Yes Ms Grant?" Just as Cat was about to answer CJ came into the room, dressed in casual wear of regular fitting dark blue jeans, a black leather jacket with a grey hoodie attached and the converse she usually wore remained instead of her usual business wardrobe of a button up, black slacks with the same black converse she was wearing now.

"CJ!" Cat said, the surprise evident in her voice.
"Sorry to intervene Cat but could I talk to you? I won't take long."
"Kara, would you excuse us?" Cat asked surprisingly nicely.
"That won't be necessary Cat, Kara's fine. I just came by because I've been doing some thinking and I've come to a decision to hand in my resignation." Both Kara and Cat had shocked looks on their faces.
"What's the cause of this?" Cat asked
"I got into a little tiff with James last night, which in itself isn't a big deal you know I'm a big girl I can handle it. But it got me thinking, the only friends I have here are Kara and you, and technically you don't count because you're practically my parent and mentor, and now that I think about it what James said to me is probably true. I am a crappy editor, it was never what I really wanted to do.

When you sent me to college I studied art and music the things I am passionate about but when I met Leslie I changed so I could be around her more and eventually end up here together. Back then Leslie helped me put my heart into my job but now that she's gone that passion isn't there and your magazine is suffering because of that and that's not fair on you or the hard working people who you employ here. Apart from James he's just an asshole.

What you said to me last night, well I quickly found out you were right and so I think it would be best if I put some space between me and that subject of our talk if you get what I mean." CJ had to take a deep breath after that last sentence. Admitting to herself that she and Kara would never happened hurt enough but actually talking about it out loud to Cat was even harder. It was all CJ could do to hold back tears.

Cat looked at CJ with an intense stare "I'm proud of you CJ" CJ's eyes widened, she wasn't expecting that from Cat… especially Cat. "You are growing up to be a very responsible young lady. I admire you for taking this step. Trust me when I say you're not the only one who has taken such a drastic leap for someone you like in terms of you switching subject in college for Leslie, trust me I've been married almost four times now.

I did notice your work a little lacking lately but I didn't want to say anything, thinking that maybe you were just in a little bit of a slump, but I think you are doing the right thing, although it's not going to be the same without CJ." Now CJ's tears were falling freely as well as Kara having watery eyes herself. "Now the only bubbly one around here will be Kara." CJ laughed at Cat's statement.

"I see myself more hyperactive, than bubbly"

"See? That's how I know you're going to be ok. By your humour." Cat said causing CJ to laugh again.

"Damn gives me away every time" she said as she smiled turning to look at Kara when she heard a sniffle from her direction. "Kara why are you crying? I'm not leaving the country I'm just leaving my job! You'll still see me around geez why is everyone getting all mushy on me suddenly" CJ said then moved closer to Kara lowering her voice "Kara" CJ said softly as she lifted Kara's chin "you're going to be fine without me. Before that day with Leslie you didn't even know I existed so if anything things are just going to go back to normal."

I did know you existed though… I just was too busy to let you know. "I liked it more when you were here CJ. No one can make me laugh like you."

CJ gave her a sympathetic look. This wasn't meant to be this hard. Why didn't she get Cat to excuse Kara? Then this all could have been avoided. Taking a deep breath she spoke "There's some things I need to sort out in my life Kara and I need to be on my own for a while to do that. You never know maybe one day in the future I'll tell you and we can all have a good laugh about it. Till then I guess James is just gonna have to do with making you laugh." James? Oh right the guy I like. Urgh I don't want to think about him right now. "Even though he's got nothing on me but you never know. Come here" CJ opened here arms to Kara for a hug and Kara gladly accepted holding on to her tightly as her tears fell. CJ on the other hand shed one tear and that tear alone held every feeling she ever felt for Kara knowing that there will defiantly be more in her absence but from this point on she was to let go of Kara. Subtly turning in the hug to smell Kara's hair, the smell that represents happiness itself, one last time before she pulled away, and left CatCo for the last time.

Kara was flying on her way to the DEO where General Lang and Red Tornado were waiting. Usually flying through the air would relax her almost like if someone were to meditate, but today she was bundling everything up, just waiting to release it on Red Tornado. Everything with CJ leaving, the fight James started, how arrogant Lucy and her father were, it was all ready to explode in Kara's head and she was thankful that in just a few minutes she could let it all out.

Atrocita was already there when Kara arrived. Alex was going through all the paperwork Atrocita had to file in order just to watch.

"You know if you guys hate aliens coming to earth so much why don't you just show them all the paperwork they have to file in during their stay I'm sure that would scare them off!" she remarked. Alex rolled her eyes as she put the next page in front of the lantern, pointing to where she had to initial and sign. "Seriously you don't need the Red Tornado, just get them to sign every document on why they want to invade the planet then I swear you'll have no problem.

"Stop complaining you're the one who wants to watch." Alex remarked pulling the last page away from Atrocita. "There you're done."

"You mean it I'm free? Oh its true there truly is a god!" Atrocita said sarcastically. Getting up from the table she was seated at like a child in detention, she walked over to Supergirl, holding up her hand "Look I had to do so much paper work that I have a permanent twitch in my hand" she said as her hand was in fact twitching "I swear I should sue Angry Pants Lane for damages, my hand never did that before!" Supergirl giggled.

"I take it you're behaving?"

"Of course I am, just because I'm a red lantern doesn't mean I'm a trouble maker."

"I heard differently. I heard that the red lanterns seem to always start fights on their quest for revenge as I was told. Plus I know that you Red's don't play nicely with the other lanterns to be exact, the red lanterns are responsible for a lot of the deaths amongst the Spectrum of Lanterns" Supergirl accused, reciting what her cousin told her from his knowledge he learnt from his friend Hal Jordan.

Atrocita stepped dangerously close to Supergirl "Is that so? You know a lot about the Red Lanterns for a girl who proclaimed she didn't know who or what I was at first sight." Atrocita's eyes glowed as her hate and anger started to build. About to speak again only to be cut off by Alex.

"Hey you two we're ready. Atrocita remember-"

"I know! I'm not a loud to interfere in the fight whatsoever. Nor am I aloud to engage in any kind of contact with the fucking robot. I KNOW!" she said in a drone like manner being told the same thing over and over. Alex nodded at Kara then disappeared into a khaki coloured tent where the Lanes and Red Tornado's creator were waiting. The lantern offered Supergirl a small smile forgetting what they were previously talking about "Go get 'em champ I got a hundred on you to beat that thing into a paperweight." Leaving Kara as she went to go stand to the side near the army trucks, not a loud in the tent with the others due to General Lanes dislike for her, he ordered that she were not to step foot in the tent, to which she gave him her favourite finger behind his back.

Taking a deep breath Kara took a battle stance as Red Tornado's eyes glowed yellow, being turned on and told to get ready to battle.

Game on!
