Time to return to Kara's story.
Leave a review after reading, please.
Leslie Willis was the anchorwoman of Silverstone High's news. Her method of reporting is different. Instead of delivering the report like a normal reporter, she acts like a spoiled shock jock. For reasons unknown, this kind of behavior hasn't had her removed from her spot.
"Good morning, Silverstone High," started Leslie. "It's Wednesday, October 28, which means that Halloween is only three days away. First, I would like to inform you all that Thomas "Tommy" Merlyn is throwing a big Halloween party. Expect the heir of Merlyn Global to be handing out invitations. Second of all, Linda Park and Edward Thawne have suggested Silverstone's bowling alley as a go-to place for fun with your friends and family. Pfff. As if. And third of all, Flash and Supergirl plush dolls are now on sale. If you have 6-year-old brothers or sisters, you might as get one, but if you ask me, this is just a ruse to make money. The Flash... pff... do you know why he runs? He's a coward. As soon as he punches a criminal, he's just run, run, run all the way home to his momma. And Supergirl, don't even get me started. She wears a skirt. I mean, for real... a skirt? Oh, and the stockings... a bit too much. It's like she's only doing this to attract a man, and if the rumors about her and the Flash being an item were true, then congratulations, she's succeeded. Well, that's all for now. This is Leslie Willis, reporting from Silverstone High."
Barry and Kara were greatly offended by Leslie. Barry feels like he just got insulted by a bully, while Kara wishes she can throw Leslie into space. Fans of Flash and Supergirl were not too pleased with Leslie, while those who despised them, the Snart twins for example, enjoyed the report.
Leslie exits the record room and was about to get to class, until a certain CatCo intern decided to talk to her.
"You are unbelievable, Willis," started Kara.
"Always the Supergirl superfan, aren't you, Danvers?" retorted Leslie.
"Being an anchorwoman means reporting the news and giving positive side comments, not your personal issues," said Kara. "Maybe you should choose shock jock as your profession."
"Actually, that's what I'm going for," said Leslie.
"Oh," said Kara, embarrassed by what she said.
"What do you know about reporting, Danvers?" questioned Leslie.
"I've been learning from Cat Grant," said Kara. "I got to interview Maxwell Lord and my report included some personal opinions, but Cat told me to leave them out, so I did."
"You expect me to believe that?" asked a skeptical Leslie.
"Why do I even bother?" sighed Kara.
"Just you wait, Danvers. One day, I'll be working at CatCo, and I'll do something no one has ever done. I'm going to impress Cat Grant," said Leslie.
"We'll see," challenged Kara.
Tommy showed up and approached Leslie.
"Hey, Leslie," he called. "I just want to tell you that I paid that band you asked for. Your performance has been green-lit."
"You're a life saver, Merlyn," replied Leslie.
"Performance?" asked Kara.
"I'm singing at the Halloween party," said Leslie. "The entire school will see just how much I 'got it'."
"So, Leslie, uh, want to be my date at the party?" asked Tommy.
"You're cute, Merlyn, but I have a different taste in guys," said Leslie, walking away.
After school, Kara heads to CatCo. As soon as she came out of the elevator, someone yelled her name.
"Keira!"
It was Cat Grant. Kara froze in her tracks and her eyes widened like never before.
"Keira!"
Kara swallowed nervously before entering Cat's office.
"Um, yes, Ms. Grant?" asked a nervous Kara.
"Close the doors," ordered Cat.
Kara closes the doors behind her.
"What is the meaning of this?" asked Cat, showing Kara a picture on her laptop of Kara and Adam kissing.
"Wait, what?" Kara was baffled. She looks at Cat and says, "I swear, I didn't know someone took a picture."
"What exactly are you doing with my som?" asked Cat.
"Well, we're... well... dating," admitted Kara, laughing nervously.
"How long?" asked Cat.
Kara kept her mouth shut for a few seconds before saying, "Three weeks."
"And neither of you never bothered to tell me, why?" asked Cat.
Kara was too scared and nervous to talk.
"Keria, I'm not angry," said Cat. "I simply want to understand why you two have to go all Romeo and Juliet and keep this a secret."
"We didn't think you would approve," said Kara.
"Well, let me be the judge of that," said Cat, standing up. "Make a reservation at Noonan's. Tomorrow afternoon. You, me, and Adam are going to talk."
"I'll get right on it," said a still-nervous Kara.
"Oh, and another thing," said Cat. "Call Rolando De Turo and tell him that he'll be hearing from my lawyers for his horrific perfume sample."
"No problem," replied Kara.
Meanwhile, in the photo room, James was looking at the picture of Kara and Adam on his phone. He knew he was supposed to be happy for her, but for some reason, he wasn't.
"Hey, James."
James had to put away his phone when he heard Kara come in.
"Uh, hey, Kara," said James awkwardly.
"I need some advice," said Kara.
"On what?" asked James.
"Lucy took you to see her father last week, right?" asked Kara.
"Yeah," replied James.
"Cat figured out about me and Adam, thanks to a photo on the internet," said Kara. "So, now, she wants to talk with me and Adam tomorrow."
"Kara, I hate to discourage you, but my meeting with General Lance was... less than stellar," said James.
"Regardless, I need advice," said Kara.
"Just be yourself," said James. "Don't try to be someone you're not just to impress the parent. Adam likes you for who you are and you shouldn't change that just to get Cat's approval."
"How did that not work for you?" asked Kara.
"General Lane is no nightmare like Cat, but he's certainly not someone you want to invite to a picnic," said James. "Oh, and don't tell Cat."
"I promise," replied Kara.
Tomorrow afternoon, Kara was about to head to Noonan's, until she got a call from Winn about a shootout outside West Silverstone City Bank. She gets into her costume and takes the skies. Winn communicates with her from outside the school.
"Okay, Winn, any more details?" asked Supergirl.
"Uh, yeah," replied Winn. "Six cops. Five hooded thugs." After a few seconds, he says, "Make that five cops."
"Winn," scolded Supergirl.
"Sorry," apologized Winn. "So, uh, you still nervous about the meeting with Cat?"
"Super nervous," replied Supergirl. "But James gave me good advice. Just be myself."
"I tried that, yet, you said no when I asked you out," said Winn.
"Winn, you're a sweet, smart guy, but I'm just not interested," said Supergirl. "How about that blonde who's into computers... Felicity, I think? Try asking her out."
Supergirl shows up at the bank. The thugs fired their guns at her, but their bullets just bounce off her body. Supergirl breaks one thug's wrist, punches one to the ground, kicks one in the knee, throws one to a building column, and takes out the last one by uppercutting him onto the hood of a police car.
"Do you guys ever take a break? A girl has other things to do," joked Supergirl.
"Thanks, Supergirl," said an officer.
Supergirl returns to the skies.
At Noonan's, Cat and Adam were sitting on their table, waiting for Kara. It wasn't long until Kara finally showed up.
"Keira, you're two minutes late," said Cat.
"It's no biggie. We're just gonna sit down and talk," said Kara.
"In case you haven't noticed, one of us is a businesswoman who runs a multimedia company, so I can't be here all day," pointed out Cat.
Kara sits down.
"So, uh, we're all here," said Adam, which only increased the awkwardness of the situation.
"Alright, Adam, mind telling me your reason for not telling me," started Cat.
"I... didn't think you would approve," said Adam.
"So, you both have the same reason," said Cat. "As I've said before, I am not mad. I am just bothered that you both didn't tell me. Adam, just because I gave up on fighting for custody over you, doesn't mean I don't..." Cat paused, trying to find the courage to say what's on her mind. "... care about your life."
"That's nice to hear," said Kara.
"So, let's start with when did you two meet," said Cat.
"At the basketball court," said Adam. "Kara was shooting some hoops, trying to manage her anger. I just happened to walk in."
"Well, that's new," said Cat. "Kara said you've been dating three weeks. How did you make it official?"
"Well, we went on a date. It went well," started Adam.
"I need more than just the outcome of the date. I need details," said Cat.
A waiter arrives and gives all three menus.
"How about we order first before we get to that?" suggested Kara, trying to build up the courage.
"Fine," said Cat, opening her menu.
I'd rather not proceed. I'll let the next chapter reveal the end result of the meeting.
