A/N: Thank you for the comments. I haven't forgotten about this story. I have just got distracted. I do plan on continuing to add chapters when I can. Anna - Thanks!
"You've not drunk your smoothie." Cat commented noticing the glass of green liquid was still sitting in front of Kara.
"I'm saving it for the end." Kara said.
"Because it is good to save the best for last." Elle commented. The remark causing the others to look at her unsure if the comment was innocent or sarcastic. Oblivious to the looks she kept eating.
"Well it is now the end of the meal so drink up." Cat said, finally turning her attention back to Kara. "It won't kill you, in fact it is good for you. And you are meant to be setting a good example."
Reluctantly Kara picked up the glass and downed the contents, pulling a face as she did so.
"Really. Elle doesn't make anywhere near as much fuss as you." Cat complained.
"Should I make more of a fuss?" Elle asked looking up.
"No." Adam and Cat said in unison.
"Can I be excused?" Elle asked finally putting down her spoon.
"Of course." Cat said as Adam asked.
"Where are you going?"
"To find the magic room."
"What magic room?" Carter asked confused.
"The one like Lena's." Elle said before looking at Cat and asking. "Can Krypto help me find it?"
"No." Cat said not wanting Krypto upstairs.
"Okay." She said reluctantly before running off.
"What magic room?" Carter repeated.
"She means a panic room." Adam said. "Ever since Lena hid her in the one at L-Corp she has been fixated with them. Not sure if it the hidden panel, the hidden room or the fact she associated the magic room with watching her favourite movies." Adam said.
"How is she gong to find it?" Carter asked.
"My guess would be by going through every cupboard and drawer looking for a switch." Adam explained. "That's what she does everyday at home, refusing to believe there is no magic room."
"I may go supervise." Carter said rushing off after Elle.
"Spot the teenager hiding things in his room." Adam commented.
"Says the voice of experience." Cat said.
"Do you actually have a panic room?" Adam asked changing topics.
"Yes." Kara replied.
"Which you know how?" Cat asked quirking an eyebrow.
"I scanned the house a few years ago." Kara said.
"What were you doing, casing the joint?" Adam asked.
"No, I was worried about Carter. He wasn't answering and I-"
"I'm just teasing." Adam smiled as he squeezed Kara's hand.
-00-
"Any luck?" Adam asked when Elle and Carter reappeared an hour later.
"No." Elle said looking frustrated.
"Well, I'm sure you'll find it eventually. It just means it is a really good magic room." Kara said as Elle came and sat next to her.
"I guess." She said hugging her mother. "Can we get a magic room?"
"No." Adam replied. "Did you put everything away you moved?"
"Yes."
"Properly?"
"Yes."
"Good girl."
"Told you I was good." She said looking at Carter who just shrugged.
"You still wanting to come to the launch tomorrow?" Kara asked Carter.
"Yes. Sure it is okay?"
"Of course it is. Lena also wants to know if you want to be a beta tester for the new headset."
"Really?"
"Apparently you don't spend enough time gaming." Adam said.
"You are just jealous that you are too old to appreciate technology." Carter shot back.
"I'll remember that next time you want a ride somewhere. When are you learning to drive again?"
"Boys." Cat interrupted.
"Sorry mom." Both said in unison.
Not hearing any sniggers from Elle or Kara Adam looked round and noticed they were both half asleep.
"We should get going." Adam said.
"Do we have to?" Elle asked sleepily.
"Yes. You have school tomorrow." He reminded her as he picked her up and carried her to the hallway. Just as they arrived the doorbell rang.
"Kinda late for visitors." Adam commented as Kara used her x-ray vision and commented. "This is going to get ugly."
"Who is it?" Cat asked. But before Kara could answer Carter had opened the door.
"Grandma." Carter greeted as Cat's mother hugged him.
"That's your grandmother?" Elle asked Adam.
"Yes."
"So she's my..." she paused as she thought back to stories she had read. "Great grandmother?"
"That's right."
"That's old." She commented a little too loudly.
"Is there something you want?" Cat asked as her mother glared at Elle whilst the others tried not to laugh.
"I was in town for the week. I thought I should drop by and see my grandson."
"Grandsons." Cat corrected. "You have two of them."
"And a great granddaughter." Elle pointed out, now much more awake.
"What is that?" She asked looking at Krypto who was growling at her.
"It's a dog silly." Elle said earning another glare from her great grandmother.
"Why do you have a dog? You know I am allergic." Catherine said appalled as she glared at Krypto who scampered off.
"Asked and answered in the same breath." Cat replied.
"I can see I have come at a bad time." Catherine said.
"I can honestly say there is never a good time." Cat stated earning a glare from her mother.
"I would have thought seeing you have given up an almost respectable career, you would be able to find the time to meet me." Catherine said.
"I have more important things in my life." Cat said.
"Like me." Elle happily chipped in as Krypto continued to growl from the safety of behind Kara's legs.
"I will leave you. But Carter I will take you for dinner tomorrow."
"Can I come?" Elle asked.
"No." Catherine said as she turned and left.
"Why wasn't she nice?" Elle asked.
"Because she is a witch." Cat replied.
"By which she means that her mother was in a bad mood." Kara said diplomatically.
"So she's not a witch?" Elle asked sounding disappointed.
"No." Kara said as Cat said.
"Not a witch, the chief witch." Cat corrected. "You'll probably see her on her broom as you leave."
"Really?" Elle asked looking excited.
"No." Adam said as he walked over to Cat, Elle still in his arms. "Say goodnight to your grandmother."
"Night." Elle said.
"Good night Elle." Cat sad leaning forward and kissing her.
Elle then turned to Carter and said. "Can we search for the magic room again next time?"
"Sure." Carter said as Kara opened the door.
"Can we look for witches on the way home?" Elle asked.
"No. We don't want to scare Krypto." Kara said looking at Cat.
"You can't shelter her forever." Cat shrugged as two fire trucks, sirens blazing, zoomed past.
"Kara, could you stay and help me with that report?" Cat asked. "I'll drive you home later."
"Can I stay too?" Elle asked.
"No. It's bedtime." Adam said.
"Goodnight." Kara said kissing Elle. "I'll be home soon."
"Night." Elle said sleepily as Adam took her to the car. The second they were out of sight Kara changed into Supergirl and flew off.
-00-
"Everything okay?" Adam asked when Kara finally returned.
"Industrial blaze." Kara said. "Everyone is fine. Is Elle okay?"
"Fast asleep despite how excited she is over being an eighth witch. At this rate she'll be asking for a broomstick for Christmas." Adam said as Kara collapsed on the couch next to him. "Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to shower."
"I know."
When Kara didn't move he asked. "What's wrong?"
"Maggie goes back to Gotham at the end of the week."
"I know. Elle has already planned the best slumber party in the world, ever. Her words."
"Do you think Alex will be okay?"
"Of course. She has you. You two can get through anything together." Adam said. "Plus Elle is going beat her into submission." He let his words sink in before standing and pulling Kara to her feet. "Come on. Shower before Elle wonders why the house smells like a bonfire."
