When Cat Grant reached her floor and stepped out of her private elevator, she felt the odd cocktail of relief and fear flooding her employees. Her steps didn't fault when she saw their faces, she simply walked over to her office not looking at anyone. She did, however, feel a twinge of sadness to not see Kara at her desk. She knows she told the girl to not come in but she can't say she wasn't hoping she'd still be there with a cup of coffee in her hands.

"James!" she yelled out as she set her stuff down at her desk. James heard her and quickly ran in to the office with a nervous smile.

"Yes, Miss Grant?"

"If you hadn't noticed, I didn't show up to work the previous day. I'd like to know what happened in my absence. The building is still standing so i'm sure it was nothing dire." Cat said, opening up her laptop and sitting in her chair.

"We did have a few bumps regarding the layout for the fashion police section but thankfully it was a slow day." James said, fumbling with his hands behind his back.

"Have you decided on a layout?"

"Yes." James smiled. Cat looked up at him from his glasses. "I-I'll go get them for you."

Cat let out a sigh as she took off her glasses. Honestly it wasn't even the hostage happening that was exhausting her. Rather it was the girl who saved her from it that. She looked over to the empty desk right outside her office. Kara is Supergirl she thought for the umpteenth time. Why am I still thinking about this?

Because your angry at her

Why?

Because she lied to you

Many people lie to me

But you don't care about many people

I don't care about her either

Then you wouldn't be so upset

I'm upset because I was right from the first place

Then you should be feeling victorious, not angry

This is different

Because you care about her, trust her

"Here are the layouts Miss Grant." Cat was quickly pulled out of her thoughts when James stopped by her desk. She took them wordlessly, carefully observing every aspect.

"When I'm here, the layouts are garbage and when I'm not they somehow become worse. Wonderful job Mr. Olsen. Bring these back and tell them to completely rearrange everything. The texts should go on the bottom rather than the top." Cat said, her usual bite present in her tone. She all but threw the layouts at him, sending him out of the office. "Call Walter in here!"

James looked at Winn and mouthed a good luck to him. Winn entered muttering something about how that's not his name.

"Winfred good you're here. Kiera is sick and won't be coming in today. Call up Adelie Mona and confirm that I will be attending the annual gala that National City Museum will be hosting. Also, because my assistant isn't here, neither is my latte. So get to it." Cat said, not bothering to make eye contact with the stuttering man in front of her.

"Y-y-yes Miss Grant." Winn stuttered out as he quickly left the office, making a bee line for James's office asking who is Adelie Mona and what coffee Cat Grant likes.

Cat sighed again as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She has a lot of work to catch up and a lot of thoughts about Kara to forget about.

Yea, good luck with that.

"Oh come on, don't do that!" Kara yelled out to the other kids. She was tired of them always picking on her. And for what? Because of house name?

"Pretty sad that someone from the great House of El can't defend their toys." One boy said, sticking his tongue out at her. His friends laughing.

"Yea you think just because you come from that crest, you're a princess? Think you're better than everyone else?" Another girl said.

"No not at all!" Kara said back. She didn't understand. Why are they being mean? "Can I just please have her back? I don't even know what I did to you!"

"Of course you don't! Your mom took away my dad. I want him back!" the boy yelled. "Why do only the poor get into trouble? It's not fair for us that you nobles get anything you want." the boy said, his friends agreeing.

Take away his dad? My mom? That would mean he's a bad guy, so why is he upset? Kara doesn't really understand but she knows she can't bring his dad back.

"I'm taking this doll now. My sister's birthday is coming up. And without my dad being able to, i'll need to get her a present." They all turned around to leave when they heard Kara yell.

"Stop!" they all turned back around to face her. The sun was setting behind them, making their faces darker, scarier. Kara gave an involuntary shudder at the sight. She knew she had to defend herself, but there were four of them and one of her. She didn't even know how to fight. So she decided to do what she thought was best. "I hope your sister enjoys the toy and that she has a happy birthday." Settle it with words. Even if she did mean losing something of hers. The other kids, however, took it as something else.

"Looks like the noble House of El isn't so noble, since you're just giving up like that!" they yelled out as they began to run back home, it was getting dark and they had to be home. So did Kara but she all she did was just sit down on the grass and brought her knees to her chin.

She began silently crying, tears slowly falling down her face. Am I weak? Do I not live up to my family's name? She was too lost in thought that she didnt hear the footsteps coming up to her from behind. She was quickly pulled out of her thoughts when a hand came onto her shoulder. She looked up to see a girl a little older than her, holding a pink princess doll and smiling. She had brown hair that fell just above her shoulders and her eyes were as black as night. She was covered with a bit of dirt, which made Kara wonder where she's from.

"I-um, saw what happened." The girl said, standing up straight. She extended the doll towards Kara. "You can have mine." she said with a warm smile. Kara just stared at her, confused.

Why is she giving me her doll?

Seeing the girls silence, the brunette spoke up again. "I don't need it anymore, I'm getting too old for these anyways." she said with a chuckle.

"Why are you giving it to me?" Kara asked looking up at the older girl, her voice trembled, her throat was tight from the crying.

"Like I said, I don't need it anymore, and you just gave up yours, so I thought, why not? Seems like a nice thing to do. And besides, i'm twelve. Twelve year olds don't play with dolls anymore." the girl said as she sat down in front of Kara. She crossed her legs and held out the doll with both hands, large smile on her face.

"Th-thank you," Kara said startled by the sudden doll in her face. "Very much." Kara smiled as she took the doll, examining it. "What's your name?"

"Jesna." She smiled. "What's yours?"

"My name is Kara Zor-El. And i'm eight, so I can't say i know what twelve year olds do." Kara said with a smile. Her tear tracks were still there but she wasn't crying anymore. "You're covered in dirt, are you alright?"

"Haha, yea I'm fine, i just played with some boys from my neighborhood. And boys like to get dirty, think that makes them men." Jesna laughed. Kara laughed too, the previous events slowly leaving her mind.

"Where are you from?" Kara asked but soon regretted when she saw Jesnas face fall.

"I-uh, live in the town just by the woods." Was all she said. But Kara then knew, and Jesna knew that Kara knew. "I know you know it's not a great place, it's as dangerous as people say. You were probably warned to stay away from there, huh princess?" Jesna said a with a smirk. She didnt mean any offense but Kara's eyes soon fell on the ground as did her smile.

"I'm not a princess!" Kara said as she looked back at the gaping girl.

"Well not by status, perhaps. You are from a noble family but that's not why I called you a princess. You just look like one." Jesna said explaining herself, she didnt want to make the girl any sadder.

"What do you mean?"

"Your hair is long, and beautiful. You skin is white and fair and your blue eyes are striking." Jesna said as she looked over Kara. "Also, what you did with those kids, by letting them take the doll, that was very noble and very brave. You very much are part the House of El. It would be an honor to anyone to have that crest." Jesna smiled as Kara blushed. "So don't ever think that you're weaker. Cause you're not. If that was me, I probably would've given them a pounding, but my mom said if I get into one more fight I'm grounded so no thank you."

Kara started laughing again which relieved Jesna. Her spy beacon chiming interrupted her. She quickly pulled it out and saw that her aunt was calling her. "Oh no I'm late. I was supposed to be home by now!" She quickly got up, Jesna following her suit. "Can we meet up again? I enjoyed our time together."

Jesna smiled once more at the thought of a new friend. "Sure, I don't have any cool toys like that but I'm here almost everyday. Find me." She said a she stuck out her tongue. "It was nice meeting you Kara Zor-El."

"It was nice meeting you too, Jesna-" Kara stopped as she realized she didnt get a house name. "Whats your house name? I didnt get it."

"Thats because I didnt give it."

Kara was about to say something when her spy beacon chimed again.

"Until next time." Jesna said with a smile. Kara nodded in agreement as she raced home. "I'll get your name then!" She yelled out behind her.

"Bye Princess!" Jesna called out.

Kara forgot all about what happened with the other kids, well, not forget, but chose not to think about it. She made a new friend.

Kara woke up to the sun light that was filtering through her curtains. She gave out a loud yawn as she stretched her entire body. She felt that she was in her supersuit from the previous night, and remembered she was too exhausted to change. She blinked her eyes open and snuggled up to her pillow more. She dreamt about that day, the day she met Jesna. Rao it feels like a lifetime ago, which in a way, it is. She looked over at her bedside clock and saw that it was just past noon. She missed half her work day but damn did she feel refreshed. And Cat did give her the day off so she suppressed the oncoming guilt of missing work. But it was hard because Cat was the one that got kidnapped and yet she's over there working as if nothing ever happened.

Cat.

Oh no. Cat knows.

She knows.

She needs to go to Alex and tell her this. All of it. Cat's life is no longer in danger now that she's agreed to help so she doesn't need to be alone anymore. As Kara quickly got out of bed, she felt herself still stiffen up so she made a mental note to use the sunbed before meeting up with Jesna. Kara opened up her window and flew to the sky towards the DEO.

Jesna awoke with a start as she nearly shot out of bed. If it wasn't for the restraints on her, she probably would've flown out of the bed and into a wall with how she was startled awake.

Wait..

Restraints?

Jesna looked down at her legs and her wrists. They were both chained down to the bed, giving her limited movement. She managed to sit up to further inspect them but a knock from the door got her attention. She then noticed the room was enveloped in absolute darkness, but her night vision allowed her to see her surroundings. She looked at the door and saw Denz standing by the doorway.

"C-come in." Jesnas voice was hoarse, her throat too dry for her liking.

"Oh okay, you are awake. That is good." Denz said. "I was worried, you slept longer than usual." He gave Jesna a cup of water but she couldn't take it. She raised an eyebrow at him, which he couldn't see because of the intense darkness.

"Denz I'm restrained. How do you propose I take that cup from you."

"Oh! That is right, I am terribly sorry boss, this is the first time we used the restraints." Denz said as he laid the cup on what he thought was the table but instead dropping it on the floor causing the cup to shatter and the water to spill everywhere.

"Unbelievable." Jesna muttered. She looked up at up at the blue alien. "Denz turn on the light and then proceed."

"Yes boss." Denz said as he began slowly walking to the wall, trying to feel for the light switch. He's basically swinging his arm towards the wall.

"Stop." He stopped. "Three steps to the right." He moved three steps to the right. "Two steps forward." He moved two steps forward. "Extend your arm." He extended his arm and it hit the light switch, and making the darkness disappear. Jesna slightly flinch at the sudden brightness but soon adjusted. She looked at her wrists which were chained to either side of the bedside tables and her legs were wrapped together with a single chain going down to the left leg of the bed. "Explain these restraints." She said in a threatening tone.

Denz flinched at the voice but began to explain. "Last time you fainted from over exerting yourself, you awoke with such a shock that you flew out of the bed and broke both the wall and the vanity. You then told me should you ever faint again, to restrain you."

Jesna stared him down, processing the information. She then remembered that conversation. It happened seven years ago, that was how long it has been since she pushed herself like that. Her eyes softened and her mouth parted in an 'oh'

"You're right." Jenna said. "But I'm awake now and I could use some water."

"Yes, boss." Denz said as he raced over to the kitchen. Jesna let out a sigh as she thought back to Kara. Dammit I really did not want to do that. Denz quickly returned with a cup of water, a broom and and a paper towel.

"How long was I asleep for?" Jesna asked, suddenly remembering she had a meeting with said girl. Denz undid the restraints and looked at the clock that read 12:42. She drank the water slowly, allowing her throat to open up.

"28 hours. I made sure to bring you outside when night fell."

"Thank you, Denz." She said with a smile.

"Not a problem." Denz said as he finished cleaning the mess he made. "You have a meeting with Supergirl later tonight I take it?"

"Yes, yes I do. She agreed to help me find Non, in exchange for that human of course."

"Speaking of that human," Denz began, his voice slightly faltering. Jesna looked over at him, Denz's eyes made him look like he kicked a puppy by accident. "I may have told her Supergirls identity."

Jesnas eyes widened and her eyebrows shot up her forehead. "You did not."

"I believed she already knew! She is a very astute individual, that much I can tell and I figured with them being almost constantly together, it would nott make any sense if she did not!" Denz was pacing the room at this point. He realized he did something wrong.

"For goodness sake Denz what do you perceive a secret identity to be if its no longer a secret?" Jesna saw that the guilt plastered all over the blue aliens skin. Denz was part of an alien species that can do little to no wrong, so Jesna decided not to berate him too much. "That would explain Cat's sudden distrust in Kara. How would you feel if someone you cared for didn't trust you?"

Denz stopped pacing the room and looked at the woman on the bed. "I would feel hurt. But I really am sorry."

"H-honestly Denz, it's not my forgiveness to give, but I'm sure everything will work out. I know you didn't mean it." Jesna said as she got off the bed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to prepare for tonight. Jesna left the room, knowing she can't do anything about Denz's guilt now. She knows he feels bad but he'll get better. Right now though, she has more important things to worry about.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND." Alex said more as a statement than a question. Of course she thought Kara was out of her mind. The nearby DEO agents were shocked to hear their senior officer raise her voice at Supergirl like that, but no one dared to intervene. They knew better than to get in between the two most powerful women there. "GOING AFTER NON BY YOURSELF? REALLY?" and that was cue for all standing by agents to leave the area.

"Alex, please lower your voice." Kara pleaded. She noticed the behavior of the other agents. "I won't be by myself."

"Yes because lets trust the Fort Rozz alien escapee that kidnapped Cat Grant and used her to blackmail you." Alex said in frustration. Why doesn't her sister see that there is just as much black in the world as there is white, if not more.

"She is my friend-"

"She was your friend." Alex corrects.

"And she needs my help. And she returned Cat back completely unharmed. Please just help me help her." Kara begged. She needs her sisters help on this. "I know the DEO is still looking for Non too so this could help us just as much." Kara knew that her sister was way more cynical than her, believed there's more black than white in the world but if Jesna is the same Jesna from before, nothing bad could come of this. Kara is sure of it.

Alex looked at Kara as she thought about what to do. Part of her, no, most of her, is telling her how bad of an idea this is. Helping a Ft. Rozz escapee become stronger? No thank you, she's already got too much on her plate. But the other part of her, the very very tiny part knows how important this is to Kara. She found out someone else from her past is alive and needs help. She knows that even if she does say no, Kara will have to go. And she'll do it willingly, not just because her boss's life is at risk. I cannot believe this..

"Fine! But even if theres a sliver of a chance your life is in danger, you're pulling out. Got it?" Alex said firmly as she pointed her finger at the superheros chest. Kara gave her a blinding smile and hugged Alex with as much might as she can without completely breaking her.

"Thank you Alex! I promise to be careful." Kara said.

"Good because I'll be going with you." Kara smile fell.

"What? No you're not." Kara said shaking her head.

"Yes I am. Your promises are nice, but I'm going to have to be there with you to forcibly remove you if anything." Alex says seriously. She won't be putting her sisters life in danger for some criminal. "End of discussion. Go into the sunbed and regain your strength. You have eight hours." With that said, Alex left the room to prepare for tonight. Kara put her head in her hands when Alex's words registered in her head. With a sigh, she headed for the sunbed.

Cat placed her tumbler on the coaster atop her balcony table, right next to the half empty bottle of bourbon. The day is done and the sun is setting. She had to work twice as hard today for missing yesterday but she finally managed to get everything right and to her surprised, only fired two people. She then recalled that Kara said something about meeting that girl Jesna tonight. For what? Cat thought. She wished she asked the time. She knows it wouldn't have made a difference but she still wanted to know. Kara; that girl has been plaguing Cat's mind for the better part of the day. She occasionally managed to successfully solely focus on her work, which meant no thinking about her assistant. But that doesn't mean anything now, she had no work to distract her with. Of course there was always work, but none that would get her mind to focus now.

They still have to have that god forsaken talk. Why can't she just tell me the truth?

What does it matter now, you already know it.

I want to hear her say it

Why?

I want her to trust me.

Why?

Cat sent back another drink to silence her thoughts. She was tired of this game and wants to put an end to it.

"Please trust that I will be back." Those words echoed in Cat's head.

I hope I can trust you, Kara.

I hope you enjoyed, please let me know what you think! Next chapter it's all going down~

Also: any and all mistakes are mine.
