Author's Note: This part one of the next two chapters. They've only been split for length…and I'm finishing up the last parts of it.

Please enjoy.

Siobhan stirred slowly as she felt the sun streaming in through the window. She turned onto her back, stretching to force her body to wake up, her eyes remaining closed so she didn't have to admit that the world existed for a few seconds more. Finally, after a last stretch of her arms above her head, letting them slowly slide back down her body, she turned her head.

"Good morning," she said softly, a tired smile curving her lips. When she didn't get a response, she finally opened her eyes and saw that she was alone in bed. Turning in the other direction, she saw the clock on the bedside table read that it was just before nine-thirty. He could've at least woken me to say bye, she thought, and not shut off the alarm. Then again, it's not like I have to get to work today.

After a few more minutes of lazily lying in bed, she eventually forced herself to get out, put on her robe, and head into the bathroom to begin her day. Once there, she noticed some writing on the bathroom mirror written in red. Taking a second to focus, she finally made out the message.

Sorry for not waking you to say bye, and shutting off the alarm, but you looked so peaceful. Can't wait until tonight.

Love,

Winn

P.S. You said you were gonna throw away this lipstick, so you can't get mad at me.

Siobhan giggled as she read the last line. Then smiled warmly as she re-read the part about her looking peaceful. I really do love that man, she thought. Though I could've done without him touching my lipstick, even if I was gonna toss it, she further mused. She also thought that she didn't want to wipe off the note just yet, at least until she could get a picture of it.

She read it twice more as she brushed her teeth, trying not to drool as she smiled. She bent over to spit after rinsing, coming back up and then letting out a small shriek and jumping backwards as, through the letters, she saw a dark figure with white and black hair and skull make-up. She blinked as she regained her footing and looked back toward the mirror.

Nothing but a love note.

She stepped closer and hesitantly reached for the mirror. Her finger tips grazed the cool surface, and then she heard a piercing scream echo throughout the bathroom. Her hands clamped over her ears, the sheer volume of the scream dropping her to her knees. She painfully looked up and saw the glass shatter. She immediately shut her eyes and looked to ground to avoid any shards.

After a few seconds, the screaming stopped and Siobhan slowly took her hands off her ears. She waited on the floor, tucked into a tight ball, waiting for something else to happen. When nothing did, she tentatively looked back up, and was shocked to see that the mirror, message and all, were still intact.

"What the…?" she whispered.

There was a slight awkwardness for her as she stepped off the elevator and into CatCo's bullpen several hours later, her strange encounter in the bathroom pushed to the back of her mind. There were a few strange looks from those who remembered her, and remembered how she was fired so publicly. She didn't give them the satisfaction of getting to her and just steeled herself against their gazes, and walked in with her head held high and a haughty little smile. She saw that Winn wasn't at his desk and thought that was odd for him.

"Can I help you, Siobhan?"

Siobhan turned and saw, of all people, Kara Danvers standing behind her.

"I was just looking for Winn. I wanted to see if he wanted to get lunch," she answered.

"He's out right now. Cat sent him over to legal, apparently all their servers crashed. He'll probably be a few hours."

Siobhan noticed how Kara was being very cordial toward her. But it was obvious that she was holding back. Siobhan knew that Kara still wasn't a fan of her and Winn being together, though she at least tolerated it for Winn's sake. But Siobhan always got the sense that Kara was just waiting for a chance to screw her over again.

"Well then, I guess there's no reason for me to hang around here," Siobhan fired back, her voice somewhere between sarcasm and outright bitchiness.

"I suppose so."

Siobhan started to leave, but then, a sneaky little smile curled her lips and she turned back to face Kara.

"Kara, can you do me a favor? When Winn gets back, let him knew I won't be able to answer my cell. I'll be getting my nails done. Hair too. I'm even buying a new dress. He's taking me out tonight, so I want to look nice. Oh, but don't tell him about the dress…I want it to be a surprise when he sees it."

Kara gave a strained smile. "I'll be sure and let him know."

"Thank you. It's so nice to know that even though you can't stand the sight of me, that you're forced to put up with me," Siobhan said, her smile practically full of glee. "I'm sure Winn appreciates the effort. Bye," she finished, her last word practically sung.

As she walked away, Siobhan could feel Kara, for all intents and purposes, firing daggers at her, and for some reason, that made her feel all warm and fuzzy. Once she was back in the elevator, she watched Kara heading back to her desk. "Bitch," she muttered as the doors closed.

As the elevator began moving, she suddenly started feeling like her head was pounding. She leaned back against the elevator wall as she felt her balance give way slightly. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she heard the same screen from earlier, only this time, it was inside her head. She gripped the sides of her head in an effort to stop the growing pressure.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the screaming stopped as the doors opened. The man and woman standing on the outside of the doors stared at her in confusion. Slowly, she removed her hands from head and looked back at them, trying her best to appear normal. She smoothed out her hair, then did the same for her blouse, and pushed her way passed them.

I'm fine, she thought to herself, repeating the words over and over.
