This time lets shoot for 30 reviews, you did great with 22 so lets see if we can't get that higher. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 6: Fix It

Kara and Adam lay on Adam's bed, neither really saying anything. Kara hadn't left Adam's side since he was discharged from the hospital a little over eight hours ago and Adam didn't mind one bit. He knew that she was blaming herself and if it made her feel better to be near him then who was he to stop her.

"What are you thinking about?" Kara asked as she shifted in the bed.

"Just how lucky I am." Adam answered smiling at her.

"You were just shot." Kara pointed out in all seriousness.

"Well you could focus on that or you could focus on the fact that the bullet didn't hit in major organs, or you can chose to focus on the fact that I have the worlds greatest girlfriend who has been by my side this whole time helping me." Adam grinned, he knew Kara wished that he would take this more seriously but the second he wasn't thinking about all the good things going on in his life he began to think about how close he was to possibly dying. He would much rather look at the good.

Kara just shook her head, "I'm getting hungry, do you want anything?"

"Sure." Adam smiled. "Whatever you're having sounds great."

Supergirl sat at the round table during their DEO briefing meeting, everyone could tell that her mind was elsewhere.

"Supergirl." Alex called but getting no response from the hero. Alex stood and walked over to her sister. She cautiously placed her hand on Kara's shoulder. "Kara."

Kara's head shot up, "Yeah."

"Are you okay?" Hank asked from the other side of the table.

"Yeah, sorry." Kara tried to explain but not very convincingly.

Hank watched Kara for a moment before dismissing the other agents, he and Alex stayed by Kara.

"Ms. Danvers I know you've got a lot going on but in case you've forgotten your aunt and uncle are hell-bent on destroying this world…" Hank pointed out.

"I know." Kara looked down, how had things gotten so bad lately? She knew her priority needed to be stopping Non but her focus was going to Adam instead. "I'll get it together."

"Kara look at me." Alex sat in the chair next to her sister. "I know things have been hard lately but they're only going to get worse if we don't stop Non."

"I know," Kara looked into Alex's eyes. "Don't worry, this is my focus. I promise."

One Week Later

Things with Adam were only getting better but thing with CatCo and the DEO were only getting worse. Hank had been riding Kara about staying focused and Cat was riding Kara about disappearing all the time. Kara just needed to get away and out of the craziness that was her life at the moment.

"Hey," Adam greeted as he walked into his living room. Kara had basically been living in Adam's apartment the last week which neither really minded.

"Hey," Kara stood and walked over to him. "You feeling okay?"

"Feeling a little stir-crazy but I'm alright." Adam kissed Kara before making his way over to the couch. He sat down and gestured for Kara to join him. "Kara we need to talk."

Great…

"What's up?" Kara asked, trying to keep her voice even. She sat down facing Adam.

"I care about you, a lot." Adam grabbed her hands in his. "I would like to think I've gotten to know you the last few weeks and I can tell you have a tendency to blame yourself for things you have no control over. Kara, me getting shot was not your fault."

Kara was no longer meeting Adam's eyes.

Just as Adam was about to continue talking Kara's phone rang. Kara went to grab it when Adam stopped her. "Please can't it wait?"

"I'm sorry." Kara apologized, she knew if it was DEO business it couldn't wait. Adam gestured for her to pick up the phone as he sat back on the couch.

"Hey Alex." Kara answered.

"Hey we've got movement by Non and Astra. How fast can you get to the DEO?"

"Do you really need me there though?" Kara knew if it had to do with Non and Astra it was important but she secretly hoped that maybe she'd be able to buy herself some time with Adam.

"Kara, this is important." Alex sounded a little frustrated.

"Okay, I'll be there in five." Kara informed her sister before hanging up. She looked at Adam and she could tell he wasn't too happy. "I'm sorry Adam."

"Kara, I knew coming into this relationship that times like this were going to come up and you would need to leave randomly. I just hope one day you trust me enough to tell me what's going on." Adam really didn't want to be upset about this but he couldn't help it. Sometimes he just wanted to sit down and have a conversation with his girlfriend. "Go ahead and do what you need to."

"Adam…" Kara really didn't know what to say. "Please don't be mad."

"I'm not mad Kara." Adam looked at his girlfriend. "I just wished you trusted me."

"I do trust you." This was killing Kara but she knew she had to go. "Adam, I have to…"

"Go Kara, I'll be here when you're done."

Kara gave him one last look before turning and leaving. She couldn't help but feel extremely bad.

Supergirl, Hank and Alex just walked back into the DEO after a wild goose chase. Kara couldn't help but be upset.

"We'll work on other leads and hope something pans out." J'onn began as he made his way over to the computer.

"Am I okay to go?" Kara asked Alex and J'onn.

"Well I was hoping you and Alex could put in a little training time but if you've got something important going on you're welcome to leave."

"Can we reschedule the training session?" Kara asked Alex.

"Sure." Alex nodded. Kara could tell there was something else going on.

"Okay can we stop dancing around and you just tell me what's going on?"

"There's nothing going on Kara." Alex tried to reassure her. "Go home. I'll let you know if anything comes up okay?"

Kara looked at her sister and then over to Hank.

"Fine but Adam and I really need to have some uninterrupted time to talk so could you try and only call in emergencies?" Kara asked.

"I'll only call if we absolutely need you." Alex promised.

Kara walked into Adam's apartment caring a bag of takeout.

"I come baring food." Kara stuck the bag first into the room while hiding her face from Adam.

Adam laughed. "Get in here."

Kara walked into the bedroom and she saw Adam was smiling.

She placed the bag of takeout on the bed and sat so she was facing Adam. "I'm sorry."

Adam just shook his head. "Don't be."

Kara looked at Adam, she knew that Hank and Alex could throw a fit but she couldn't keep hiding this anymore. She trusted Adam and he deserved an answer. "Adam you deserve to know the truth, you need to know that I kept this from you not because I don't trust you but…"

"Kara stop right there." Adam interrupted her. "Look whatever it is you're about to tell me, don't. I don't want you to feel like you have to tell me because I got upset, I want you to want to tell me."

"I do want to tell you." Kara explained.

"No Kara you don't, you feel obligated to." Adam grabbed Kara's hand. "Look we both know we care about each other and right now all I need to know is you're still in this, I don't care what it is you do with Alex, just as long as you come back to me."

Kara looked at him, she felt as if there was more behind his words. "I'll always come back to you."

Adam leaned in and kissed Kara. "I know this may seem soon but I love you Kara Danvers."

Kara looked into his eyes. "I love you too Adam Foster."

The couple beamed at one another before kissing again, this time much longer then before.

Kara and Adam were seated at Adam's table about to start their lunch when a knock came at Adam's door. Kara stood up, telling Adam to sit down, and went to open the door.

"Ms. Grant." Kara greeted her boss and boyfriends mother.

"Is Adam here?" Cat asked looking a bit surprised that Kara was opening the door.

"Yeah," Kara stepped to the side allowing Cat to walk in. Kara was quickly trying to figure out how to make her exit.

"What are you doing here? We talked about this last time, you need to call before you just drop by." Adam stood up but kept his hand on the table to steady himself.

"I'm aware of our agreement but this is something that couldn't wait." Cat explained. Just as she was about to continue Kara's phone rang.

Kara, trying to hide her excitement, excused herself and walked to the bedroom. "You couldn't have called at a better time."

"I'm glad my timing's good." Alex laughed. "Hey I know you said you needed time with Adam but I was hoping we could get in that training session?"

"Sure, right now?" Kara asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I'm already at the DEO so we can start whenever you get here." Alex sounded a lot happier then she had in days.

"See you soon." Kara replied before hanging up the phone, she walked out of the room to see that Cat and Adam were now both sitting at the table, neither saying anything. "I'm so sorry Adam, but I've gotta go."

Adam gave Kara a look that basically said help me, but what he said seemed a lot calmer. "Alright, see you tonight?"

"Definitely," Kara smiled at him.

Just as she was at the door Adam's voice stopped her. "Love you."

Kara couldn't help but beam. She turned around to look him in the eyes. "Love you too."

xxSupergirlxx

Cat sat there stunned. Has she really just heard Adam and Kara tell each other they loved them? Cat turned to look at her son when she heard the door close behind her assistant. "Did you…"

"Yes," Adam said, he still had a stupid smile on his face.

"You've been dating for two days…" Cat sounded completely dumbfounded.

"It's been over three weeks." Adam corrected before getting up and pulling his and Kara's lunch out of the oven. "You hungry?"

"Adam I need to talk to you." Cat stood up.

"And I'm hungry," Adam stated.

"Adam I'm serious." Cat was getting frustrated.

Adam turned and looked at Cat. "I just don't understand you. Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you treating Kara worse now that we're dating? Why would you hire a second assistant when you knew it would kill her?" Adam was furious. "And before you go accusing Kara of being unprofessional or anything like that you should know she refused to tell me any of that. She refuses to talk about what happens at CatCo."

Cat looked down, "I know I've been harder on her lately and hiring Siobhan wasn't my proudest moment."

Adam laughed humorlessly. "Do you realize how much that hurt Kara? She is one of the happiest, most uplifting people I've ever met but since you hired Siobhan she walks around like she's got her own personal storm cloud over her head."

"You're not telling me anything I don't already know." Cat felt so bad, she knew that it was a stupid thing to do at the time and she only felt worse about it.

"Then fire Siobhan!" Adam yelled. He had held his anger in for far too long and it was now all boiling over.

"Adam, I can't fire her without reasonable cause." Cat tried to explain.

"Then find reasonable cause." Adam said in a deadly calm voice. "Kara is the best thing that has ever happened to me and if you want me in your life you'll fix it."

Cat looked down, she knew she needed to do everything she could to protect her relationship with Adam. "Okay."
