Kara didn't quite think of taking Cat to a public hospital, the first place she flew to was the DEO. And needless to say Hank was rather angry with her but it was just instinct to fly there and it's not like Cat would have liked her flying her to a public hospital in the state she was in, she'd be mortified. Either way Kara thinks that Cat's reaction would be the same in either case, only at the DEO there isn't anyone taking pictures or gossiping about the fact that Cat got scared of the doctor's and clamored back into Kara's arms. So here is Supergirl sitting on a hospital bed with a scared, dirty, and amnesiac Cat Grant shaking in her arms while the doctor looks her over.
Kara somehow managed to convince Cat to stay with Alex who awkwardly only agreed to hold her hand. It was weird babying a woman who was old enough to be her mother but it was kind of sad to see the small woman seem so fragile. How far the almighty Queen of all media had fallen.
"What's up, doctor? Is she okay?"
"Besides the retrograde amnesia, which should only be temporary, whatever she went through it must've been rough. There's blood and skin underneath her fingernails which we've taken to get tested and she's got bruises around her wrists. It seems to me that she wasn't just merely lost in the wilderness all this time, someone held her captive."
"How, who? How do you know?"
"She's got track marks on her arms. She must've been drugged, but she fought whoever it was. Besides being a little malnourished I don't see any other injuries, but we do need to run a rapekit. I hate to resort to that but who knows what happened to her out there."
"Yeah, yeah, you're right."
Kara looked back over at Cat who was still clutching Alex's hand who seemed to be telling Cat some sort of story.
"I could use your help with her though, she seems to be calm with you around and I have no idea how she's going to react. We may need to give her a mild sedative."
"Anything for Cat. I just want us to rule this out so that I can let Carter know that she's okay."
Walking back over to Alex and Cat, Kara smiled and thanked Alex for keeping Cat company.
"Um, Cat, they need to do a procedure on you to make sure everything is okay. You might not like it but I'll be here with you, okay? Don't be afraid."
Needless to say they did end up having to give Cat a mild sedative which brought tears to Kara's eyes because there had been enough needle marks put in Cat's arm as it was. She didn't like that they were adding to that trauma. But it was important that they had the procedure done and she was relieved when the doctor found no indication of an assault at first glance and then breathed a sigh of relief when the tests came back negative. And even though Cat was still dirty the doctor gave Kara permission to take her home but to keep an eye on her. Because whoever did this to her was still out there and they had no idea why they would attack Cat and take down her plane.
Now Kara needed to think up what they should tell the press if it came to that and tell Carter. But first things first Kara needed to fly Cat home and help clean her up. Flying in the dead of night helped with keeping Cat hidden as the small woman still clutched tighter. Landing softly on Cat's balcony Kara let Cat down to the ground and may have had to break the doorknob to Cat's balcony door. Which she knows Cat isn't going to be happy when she gets her memories back and realizes that Kara had to break into her house.
Cat hesitated at the doorway and Kara paused and held out her hand for Cat to take, "Come on, Cat, this is your house."
Everytime Cat touched her Kara felt a warmth and a tenderness in her heart and never wanted to let her go. Even behind those eyes she can still see a part of the pre-amnesia Cat Grant in there. Leading Cat into the house Kara let Cat look around and adjust to the environment around her. Cat hesitated but pictures sitting on a mantelpiece caught her eye, letting go of Kara's hand she made her way over and the first picture she picked up was a picture that even caught Kara's eye. A picture taken by most likely James of Kara and Cat at a company event and the way they looked at each other would make one think that they were in love. It stole Kara's breath away and made her cheeks flush, Cat brushed her fingers over the picture.
"Kara."
Cat's voice came out curious laced with a growing realization of affection for Kara. Turning back towards Kara she met the younger girl's eyes and the affection Kara saw there was so new to see coming from Cat. She knew the older woman craved affection and kept herself from expressing it. Kara found herself being hugged by the small blonde, arms wrapped around her and a face settled in her neck.
"Kara."
Kara craved Cat to say her name correctly so often and now it seemed like the only thing that Cat could say. Wrapping her arms around Cat she sighed knowing this little moment would have to end considering she still needed to somehow get Cat to take a shower without hurting herself. But a few more minutes like this couldn't hurt so Kara just hugged her tighter and whispered Cat's name into her hair like a mantra.
Sighing Kara reluctantly pulled away from Cat's grip, "Okay, Cat, let's get you cleaned up and figure out what we're going to tell everyone about your predicament."
"Okay, Kara," Cat just smiled and happily followed along with Kara.
"Well, good, sounds like your vocabulary is expanding past my first name. Which thank you for saying correctly this time around," Kara nervously giggled.
Cat just turned her head confused and stared so intensely at Kara that it made her blush. If simple looks just like that were going to make Kara blush she had no idea how she was going to help her clean up, hopefully she could take a shower on her own now.
