Chapter 3: Heroes, and Moms, and Aliens oh my!
"Ms. Grant." Supergirl greeted as she landed on the balcony.
"Supergirl, I'm so glad you could join me." Cat smiled back. "I'm not interrupting anything, am i?"
"Of course not. What can I do for you?" Kara couldn't help but feel like something was up.
"I have a question for you." Cat stated.
"Cat, I'm not telling you who I am." Supergirl responded.
"Oh that's not what I was going to ask you. I've given up on the chance of you telling me who you are." Cat smirked. "Earlier you said something and it's stayed in my mind since."
Supergirl really didn't know how she should respond, so Cat continued.
"Earlier you said that if Kiera though she would hurt Adam, she wouldn't purse a relationship with him…" Cat gave Kara a weird look.
"Did I miss something?" Supergirl asked unsure of what this was about.
"How did you know his name was Adam?" Cat asked turning to Supergirl.
"I'm sorry?" She asked still not catching on.
"I never told you my sons name, so how did you know his name was Adam?" Cat asked again.
"Oh shit…" Kara though.
"Ms. Grant I'm pretty sure I didn't say Adam." She tried to counteract, she knew it probably wouldn't work but she at least had to try.
"Don't play dumb with me." Cat barked. "Do you honestly think you fooled me?" She paused for just a second before continuing on. "Supergirl, how long have you been watching over my family?"
Kara couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, maybe Cat really didn't know. "Ms. Grant, I watch over everyone."
"But do you know them all by name?" Cat asked.
Kara looked down," No."
"Do I need to ask that question again?"
"Ms. Grant, everyone knows that we have a…different relationship compared to others. I just don't want our friendship to hurt you or anyone you care about."
"Well…" Cat turned away from the hero. "That's all I needed."
Supergirl looked at Cat for a moment. What was going on? Just as she was about to fly off Cat turned back to the hero. "Be safe, Supergirl."
She gave Cat a smile, then took off. She wouldn't be going to her apartment after all.

Not ten seconds after Kara knocked on Adam's door, he answered. "Hey." He smiled at her and gestured for her to enter the room.
"So the pizza should be here in about five minutes." Adam informed her, taking her jacket from her.
"Sounds great." Kara smiled at him. She was starving but she knew she would have to watch how much she ate.
The couple sat there talking about their what they had both been up to that day.
"You honestly just sat their for five hours?" Adam asked, he couldn't believe that his mother would do that to Kara. "What was my mom doing?"
"I have no idea." Kara said with a laugh. She knew that finding humor in that situation was the best thing for her to do. "On the bright side, I'm going to get paid for doing nothing."
"Kara, how are you okay with that?" Adam asked, he was shocked that Kara wasn't more upset then she was. "That's ridiculous."
"I know it is, but Cat has her reasons for everything, it's not that big of a deal." Kara explained.
Adam didn't know what to say, he didn't understand how Kara could just brush this off as nothing, or how his mom could treat Kara like that. Luckily before Adam had to respond there came a knock at his door. "That must be the pizza."
Kara had even thought about using her X-ray vision to see who was on the other side of the door, she would soon be wishing she would have.
As Adam opened the door, expecting to see someone holding a pizza box, he was met by that familiar face of Cat Grant.
"What are you doing here?" Adam asked. It was nearing ten and after everything Kara had just told him, Cat was the last person he wanted to see.
"Well hello to you too." Cat responded, pushing past Adam and walking into the hotel room. She spotted Kara the second she walked in. "Kiera."
"Ms. Grant." Kara responded in a polite and professional tone.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Adam asked, not bothering to hide his annoyance.
"I've come to see my son." Cat turned back to Adam. "You didn't tell me you got a job here."
Suddenly feeling like she shouldn't be there Kara got up, "Adam I'm just going to head out. Thanks for inviting me over."
Kara walked up to him and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.
"Kara you don't have to go." Adam protested.
"I think I do, I'm tiered." Kara explained. "Goodnight Adam. Goodnight Ms. Grant." Kara turned to her boss, giving her a smile, before walking to the door and leaving.
As Kara made her way out of the building she couldn't help but be upset, she had been so looking forward to spending time with Adam and Cat had to ruin that too. Not to mention now she would even be eating pizza…
Kara flew into her apartment window caring a bag of pot stickers and was looking forward to sitting down, watching some old cheesy movie, and forget about her day and Cat Grant.
Kara had gotten to about the half way point in her movie when she decided she should check in with Alex. Kara grabbed her phone and called her sister.
"Hey," Alex answered.
"Hey, just figured I would check in with you, and we can finish that conversation from earlier." Kara replied. "So what happened today?"
"It was nothing Kara, just one of the aliens got out and we had to get it back in before things got bad."
"Are you and Hank okay?"
"Kara, we're both fine." But then in the background Kara heard. "She's lying."
"What was that?" Kara asked, unsure if she had really heard what she though she had.
"It's nothing Kara, I'm fine." Kara could hear just the slightest change in Alex's voice but before she could respond Alex shouted. "Seriously Hamilton you can't be a little easier!"
"Hamilton? As in Dr. Hamilton?" Kara began to feel herself panic. "I'm coming to the DEO."
"Kara don't, there's nothing you can do here." Alex explained, but Kara was no longer listening.
"I'll be there in five." Kara said before hanging up her phone, and in the blink of an eye she was flying out her window in her Supergirl suit.
XXsupergirlXX
Kara had just walked into a very trashed DEO headquarters. "What the…"
Hank spotted Kara and began walking towards her. "Supergirl…"
"Why wasn't I informed of this?" Kara demanded, not allowing Hank to finish.
"Alex tried to call you, you had other things going on." Hank explained, he wasn't acting like his normal self.
"What the hell happened!" Supergirl demanded. "Where's Alex?!"
"She's with Dr. Hamilton.
Kara stormed past the director and made her way to the infirmary. Without knocking Kara yanked the door opened, and walked in.
The sight that met Kara was enough to take the aliens breath away. "Alex…"
"Kara, I told you not to come." Kara had never seen Alex look this bad. She had a black eye, her entire left side or her face was black and blue. Her left arm was in a sling and it was wrapped up to just above her elbow.
"Alex why didn't you tell me how bad you were hurt?" Kara demanded. How had she gone her whole day feeling bad for herself when her sister had been hurt this bad?
"There's nothing you could have done." Alex explained. She tried to sit up but was immediately pushed down by Hamilton.
"Danvers you need to lay down." Hamilton ordered.
"How bad is she?" Kara asked turning to the doctor.
"I can't divulge medical information without permission." Hamilton explained.
Kara turned to Alex. "Don't make me use my X-Ray vision…" Kara threatened.
"You wouldn't…" Alex challenged her sister.
Kara did a quick scan of her sister and her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "You have stitches…Why didn't you tell me about those? And broke ribs? Alex!"
Alex didn't say anything, she knew that Kara was going to continue on with her temper tantrum and she may as well just stay quiet.
"My god Alex you could have gotten yourself killed… What is wrong with you?" As Kara continued to go off on her sister Hamilton gave Alex a look that said stay put and left. "This is all my fault, if I had been near my phone none of this would have happened."
"Okay Kara stop right there." Alex demanded. "This isn't your fault. It's the crazy alien with anger issues fault."
"Alex I should have been here." Kara began to protest.
"Stop it Kara!" Alex said a lot sharper then she had meant to. "Me being in this bed is not your fault. Kara, no one expects you to be everywhere at once, it's not possible, even for an Alien. You are done blaming yourself for things you had no control over, do you hear me?"
Kara hunger her head in defeat. She still felt so bad that Alex had been hurt but she knew that what Alex was saying was right. "Yeah." Kara said timidly.
"Now get your butt over here and hug me." Alex ordered with a much softer tone and a smile to go with it.
Kara walked over to her sister and hugged her as tightly as she thought would be safe. "I love you." Kara mumbled.
"I love you too." Alex kissed Kara's cheek. "Now you have to tell me about Adam. I want to hear everything."

Kara had spent the night with Alex but had returned to her apartment the next morning to shower. She had every intention of returning to the DEO right after. But just as she was about to leave there was a knock at her apartment door. In the rush to leave Kara didn't use her X-Ray vision to check who it was, she would soon wish she had.
Kara opened the door to reveal the person on the other side. "Ms. Grant?"
Why was Cat Grant at her apartment?
"Kiera." Cat responded. "Well are you going to keep me out in the hall all day?"
"I'm sorry," Kara responded stepping to the side, suddenly very grateful that she had just cleaned up her apartment. "Please come in."
Cat had noticed all the lights were off in the apartment. "Oh, did I catch you as you were leaving?"
"Kind of, but it's alright. What can I do for Ms. Grant?" Kara asked, trying to keep things polite.
"What are your intentions with my son?" Cat asked quit bluntly.
"I'm sorry?" Kara asked, taken off guard.
"What are your intentions with my son?" Cat asked again, but this time much slower.
"Adam and I just started dating." Kara pointed out. "Right now my intention is to find out if this relationship will work."
"Are you going to continue to run off, with no explanation?" Cat asked sharply.
"Ms. Grant, Adam and I have already talked about this." Kara said not sure what else to say, she was very much aware that she couldn't lie, she was too bad at it.
"If you hurt my son Kiera, say goodbye to your job." Cat warned before making her way to the door. Before walking out she turned back to Kara. "Your apartment is surprisingly…nice."
With that Cat walked out, leaving a very confused Kara in her wake.
"What the heck…" Kara said aloud to no one.

Two Days Later
Kara hadn't been in the DEO more then two minutes before Hank came to grab her.
"We've got an alien attack right outside CatCo." He informed her.
"I'm on it." Kara responded. She gave Alex a quick glance before disappearing, followed by a gust of wind.
XXsupergirlXX
Supergirl was thrown into the side of CatCo. Flying through the very window of Ms. Grant's office. She collapsed to the floor, shacking and panting.
"Oh my god!" Cat screamed from her place at he desk. "Supergirl, are you al…"
But Cat didn't get to finish her question before Supergirl, never taking her eyes off her target, flew out of room so quickly every piece of paper on Cat's desk flew off and around the room.
Cat looked down at where Supergirl had landed and noticed blood. Supergirl was bleeding.
"Kara Zor-El, you shall pay for the sins of your mother. Prepare to meet her again!" The nasty yellow Alien that Kara had been fighting shouted at her.
"Okay let me get this straight, you committed a crime and got caught but somehow it's my fault that my mother did her job?" Kara asked in bewilderment. She never understood that part. It wasn't her fault they didn't know how to be good people.
Today was totally not the best day for Kara, she was stressed out with work, Eliza and Alex were in a massive fight over Alex not telling her about being hurt, Adam had gone back to Ople City to clear out his apartment and she missed him terribly, the DEO was crazy busy and now she had to deal with this clown. Kara just needed a break.
Without saying a word the alien flew at Kara and forced her into a downward spiral. Both landing in a giant crater, that they created, in the middle of the street.
Kara quickly recovered and began her own assault. She threw punch after punch.
"I could really use some help." Supergirl called over her com.
"We'll be there in 30 seconds. Just hold on." Alex called.
Kara continued to fight off the alien, trying to keep everyone safe. Then out of no where she felt a sharp pain in her back. Taking advantage of Supergirls moment of distraction the alien got the upper hand and began strike after strike until he was able to hit the weak spot on her back causing her cry out in pain and collapse to the ground. Everything went dark...
Dun Dun DUN!
