It's night time, it's cold, and Cat and Lois are walking down the street bundled in scarves and jackets. Cat told Lois right away about 'Shopgirl' wanting to meet her and her agreeing to their meeting.

"So she's carrying a copy of the book with a flower in it? Cat, I don't really think this is a good idea, what if she's some weirdo?"

Cat sighed and rolled her eyes at Lois, "I'm just going to say hello and have a cup of coffee and then I'm going to go, simple as that, Cat sighs again, "Why do I even feel compelled to meet her, why?"

"Cat relax, it'll be fine."

They walk up to the cafe she's meant to meet 'Shopgirl' at it's lit up with Christmas lights outside and Cat freezes, nervous, "Okay, this is it...Lois, this woman is the most adorable creature I've ever had contact with, if she ends up looking as adorable as she sounds I'd be crazy not to marry her."

Lois pats her on the shoulder, "Good luck, Cat."

But Cat doesn't move she just smiles at Lois, "Can you go look for me?"

With a look of disbelief Lois just rolls her eyes, "You're pathetic Cat but alright."

"Thank you, Lois!"

The brunette heads up to the window and looks around for a woman holding a book with a rose in it, "Hmm, I can't see her someones blocking her...wait okay now I see her and….," Lois' eyes go wide, "Um...well, she's very pretty but...she kind of looks like that Kara Danvers woman."

"Kara Danvers from that little book shop? Who cares about her?"

"Well, if you don't like Kara Danvers then you're definitely not going to like this woman."

"Why not?"

Lois almost doesn't want to tell her because she knows how disappointed Cat will be, "Because it is Kara Danvers."

Wide eyed Cat rushes to the window and looks in and sure enough there is Kara Danvers, hair back in a ponytail, glasses, and one of those cardigans she always seems to be wearing. And there's the book with the rose in it on the table in front of her, she's looking around waiting for her.

"So what are you going to do?"

Cat sticks her hands in her pockets and gathers her pride, "Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing, you mean you're going to just let her wait there all night?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Good night Lois, I'll see you in the morning," hands still in the pockets Cat walks away without another look back leaving Lois standing there in disbelief.

Meanwhile Kara's still sitting inside staring at the window and looking at her watch waiting for NY152 to show up. After Cat walks to the corner she peers back to make sure Lois has left and when the coast is clear she turns around and heads back to the coffee shop and goes in. Trying not to pay any attention to Kara being there she goes up to order a drink. Kara sees her and she quickly acts like she's busy reading the book she brought with her.

After ordering her coffee Cat acts like she just spotted Kara and walks up to her, "Kara Danvers, well this is a coincidence. Do you mind if I sit down?"

Kara almost reaches for the chair to stop her from pulling it out, "Yes, yes, I mind. I'm expecting someone actually."

Cat looks over at the book in her hand, "Huh, Pride and Prejudice?"

"Would you mind?"

"I bet you read the book every year, I bet you love that Mr. Darcy, I bet you hope that he and what's her face get together even though you've probably read the book a million times," Cat pulls the chair out and sits with a smirk on her face.

"No no, you're not staying."

"Don't worry, I'll just stay until your friend gets here," Cat looks at her watch, "Geez, is he late?"

Kara scoffs and pulls her book to her chest, "She actually, not that it's any of your business. And 'what's her face' is actually Elizabeth Bennett, one of the most complex characters ever written, not that you would know that."

"Actually, I've read it."

Setting the book back on the table Kara glares at her, "Well, good for you."

Cat takes a sip of her coffee, "You'd discover a lot of things if you knew me."

"If I really knew you I know what I would find, that instead of a brain it'd be a cash register and instead of a heart I'd find the bottom line," Kara looks shocked at what she just said.

"What is it?"

Kara seems pleased with herself, "Well, I think I've had a breakthrough and it's all thanks to you. For once in my life when I'm confronted with a horrible person I knew exactly what to say and actually said it."

Cat looks at her cup of coffee and pauses before she responds to that, "Well, you have a gift for it, it was like a mixture of poetry and meanness. Don't get me wrong I'm paying you a compliment."

Reaching to lift the book off the table it's quickly snatched from Cat's grasp leaving the rose behind on the table which Cat raises an eyebrow at and picks up the red rose, "Ah, a red rose tucked into the pages of your book, reminds me of something from some mushy romance novel."

Kara holds her hand out for the rose, "Give it to me. Everything is a joke to you isn't it?" And when Cat doesn't relent Kara sits back defeated, "Please leave, please."

Cat stares at her for a minute and sets the rose down and then stands and goes to the table behind Kara and sits in the chair to her back. Kara pulls out her compact to check her make up and goes to blot her lipstick and Cat turns around causing Kara to snap the compat shut.

"You know what that handkerchief reminds me of? The first day I met you…"

"The first day you lied to me."

"I did not."

"Did to."

Cat sighs and picks her stuff back up and goes back to the chair across from Kara, "I think you've gotten a lot of things wrong about me. Are you going to have such a sharp tongue with this person you're meeting tonight?"

"No because the woman that's coming here tonight doesn't have a single mean bone in her body, she's funny and kind and has a great sense of humor."

Looking around before bringing her attention back to Kara she takes one more sip of her coffee, "But she's not here."

Kara holds her chin high, "If she's not here then she must have a good reason because she doesn't have a cruel bone in her body. I don't expect you don't know anything about a person like that. You're just a suit."

Cat tries to not make her smile droop and just stares at Kara, "Well, that's my cue, have a good night Miss Danvers."

Kara watches as Cat stands, puts her coat on and takes her cup of coffee with her and leaves. Kara feels defeated even though she said exactly what she wanted to say without holding back. She continues to wait until they're about to close and snatches up her book and rose and leaves, as she's walking down the street she sadly tosses the rose into a trashcan. When she reaches her apartment complex she decides to take the stairs instead of the elevator, maybe all those flights of stairs will help her forget she got stood up tonight.

When she finally reaches her apartment she tosses her purse on the couch and goes over to her computer screen and logs on to check her mail. Her inbox saying 'NO MAIL' and Kara slumps in she just goes to bed not even bothering to undress or pull the covers down, she just covers herself with the blanket folded at the end of the bed and turns the light off.

Meanwhile across town Alice is rattling on about something that happened at work that day while Cat puts her coat away and doesn't even bother to listen to a word she's saying. She also feel's defeated in her own way but doesn't understand why. The hurtful words from Kara Danvers mouth, no 'Shopgirl', hurt her more than she thought they would.
