As Kara used her freeze breath to put out the fire, her elation over the kiss melted away. Her personal issues took second chair when she took up the Supergirl mantle and this time was no different. This explosion could be the work of Winn's father and there could be other traps waiting for her.

Once she cleared the way, she dove through the wreckage in a search for survivors. She found two women under a desk and escorted them to safety. She felt fairly sure she had been fast enough to prevent structural damage from the fire, but she couldn't be sure the explosion hadn't already done that.

After what seemed like hours, she had saved the day, yet again. There had been causalities from the initial blast so it didn't feel like the day had really been saved. As the excitement died down, her thoughts turned back to Cat, even as she headed over to the DEO to be briefed.

Cat had been right that she hadn't fully considered the repercussions of dating her boss. To be fair. she'd only imagined ridiculous fantasies that had involved Cat's desk more than the reality of a relationship. That wasn't to say she didn't want a relationship with her boss. She did, but the fantasies were easier than investing her heart in unrealistic daydreams. Now that they were a real chance, they flooded her head and she wanted them more than any of the naughtier daydreams she'd allowed herself.

She didn't want to leave CatCo, but she had been honest with Cat. She could still see James and Winn even if they didn't work together, but Cat would have been lost to her if she had been fired. In the end, Cat was what mattered about her job.

Cat knowing she was Supergirl both thrilled and terrified her. She wondered if she still thought that Kara should be out saving lives instead of working and living her own life. She shook some debris out of her hair and sighed. They still had so much to talk about. But Cat had kissed her and it gave her hope that they could work it all out.

She pulled out her phone midair to text Adam, but wondered if doing so would cross a line. He was still Cat's son and she didn't know if Cat would want him to know. Cat and Adam's relationship was still so new and she didn't know what the kiss even meant for sure.

She wanted to tell someone though. Winn had other more important things to worry about and James… she hadn't even told him about her crush. Her sister was an option, but she didn't want a lecture or to have to defend herself. She appreciated Alex's concern, but she wanted this.

She saw Lucy's name and grinned. Cat's lawyer would surely want to be kept updated about changes in her life. She also knew about her not-so-secret crush. She sent an emoji laden text and eagerly waited for a response. She wasn't disappointed. Lucy's response was just as excited as hers. She grinned. She had forgotten how nice it was to have friend that was a girl and wasn't her sister. She felt glad that her crush on James hadn't ruined their chance at an actual friendship.

As night fell, she found Cat out on her balcony staring out at the damaged building. Kara wondered if she had been waiting for her to come back. They had a lot to talk about especially after the Supergirl reveal and the kiss.

"You're still here," she said, floating a few feet from the railing.

"I didn't wait out here the whole time. I do have a media conglomerate to run after all."

"I meant at the office," Kara said, settling down on to the balcony. "It's late."

"Carter is safe with his father and Adam has been unresponsive all day. There's a lot to do here, especially with terrorist attacks and prison escapees terrorizing our city."

"That's true."

"Have you heard from Winslow?"

"They have him in a safe house."

"No Supergirl guard?" Cat asked, turning to look at her.

"I checked in on him, but Supergirl is kinda of conspicuous," she said with a shrug.

She had tried to talk Hank into taking him in at the DEO, but the FBI apparently needed him for their investigation and weren't just going to hand him over to an alien enforcement agency . A human murderer didn't fit the DEO's jurisdiction. Alex had tried to talk her down, but she had needed to get away from them and their sympathetic looks.

She hadn't even bothered changing before heading to CatCo. Finishing their conversation seemed like a much better use of her time than worrying about Winn.

As Cat stared at her, Kara knew that her boss could see right through her dismissive gesture. Cat always seemed to see right through her defenses and it hadn't been a surprise to find out she hadn't given up believing she was Supergirl.

"I'm sure without the suit you wouldn't be as noticeable."

"I can't stay with him 24/7. I have to trust law enforcement to do their jobs sometimes. I just worry they are going to try and use him as bait to draw his father out into the open."

"If it works…" Cat said. "He would be safer than most people that get used as bait because you would be there to protect him."

"I just wish I could do more," she said, looking out at the building she'd been stuck in for most of the afternoon.

"Why do you think I tried to fire you before?" Cat asked, eyes following Kara's to the marred building in front of them. "Supergirl can't do everything. If you need tomorrow off, I understand."

Kara sighed. "I think I want to come in. I could use the distraction."

Cat hummed to herself. "I should probably hire another assistant."

"What?" Kara sputtered out.

"I don't want you to feel obligated to work yourself to death for me and the city. Also, we did talk about other things today that involve your work situation or did you forget about all that while you were out saving the city?"

"I didn't forget." Kara flushed. "I couldn't forget."

"Good," Cat said, with a small smile. "Did you think about what I said or did you just dwell on the kiss?"

"Both?" Kara said, looking down at the smile on Cat's lips.

Cat let out a little laugh. "And your thoughts?"

Kara leaned against the railing in a casual manner Cat wasn't used to seeing from the superhero. It felt like she seeing her assistant superimposed over Supergirl. "I have a lot of them."

"Good."

"And what do you think of dating a superhero? You know it puts you at risk."

"I've already been at risk. Look at Lois Lane. Being a superhero's favored reporter doesn't do wonders for your safety."

Kara's eyes widened. "I didn't even think of that."

"Don't worry. I did. The benefits outweighed the risks."

"Even for Carter?"

"I think your behavior today answered that pretty clearly," Cat said as Kara nodded. "I haven't forgotten the train either. Thank you for that again."

"Of course," Kara said. They were both quiet for a moment, looking out on the twinkling lights in front of them. Kara let out a breath. "So I know it's late, but would you like to get those drinks with me? We can talk some more. I could use a distraction and we should finish our talk."

"So you still want to do this?" Cat asked, studying her profile.

"I do," she said, turning with a smile.

"Can you even get drunk?"

Kara smiled. "No."

Cat pouted. "That takes some of the fun away from it."

"Can you imagine the damage a drunk superhero would cause the city?" Kara asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Fair enough. No wonder we haven't heard about your cousin's nights on the town." Cat looked thoughtful for a long moment, before meeting her eyes. "Whatever you tell me about him and your past, I'll keep a secret if you want me to. I don't want you to worry about that."

"I trust you," Kara said.

Cat nodded. "How about we have those drinks at my apartment," she said.

Kara grinned playfully. "Miss Grant! What kind of girl do you take me for?"

Cat rolled her eyes. "The kind that grew up out on the prairie." Kara smiled and looked up at the stars. Krypton certainly was out there, but it definitely hadn't been the boonies. The more she learned about her mother though, the more she realized how sheltered she had really been. "I'm going to have to stop thinking of you as such an innocent before I have my way with you." Kara snapped out of her reminiscing and her eye shot back to Cat who was smirking at her.

Kara licked her lips. Two could play at that game. "I figured you saw me as someone to corrupt."

"Hmm. That does sound fun," Cat said, eyes roving down Kara's costumed body. Had she been in her usual clothes under such scrutiny she would have fidgeted under Cat's gaze, but something about being in the costume made her stand taller.

"Doesn't it?" she asked.

"You are something else."

"I'm an alien superhero. I think that was a given."

"My place then?" Cat asked casually, but it still send a shiver down Kara's spine. As much as she was joking about it, she would actually be in Cat Grant's apartment with her. Alone. Mere footsteps from her bedroom. And her bed.

"Sounds good to me. Would you like a ride?"

Cat's eyes narrowed. "Flying?"

"Why not?"

Cat looked over the balcony. "The thirty floor drop?" Kara laughed.

"Don't you trust me?"

Cat studied her. "I do." She huffed. "Let me just get my purse," she said, like it was an affront to be asked to fly with Supergirl. Kara had been hoping for a little more enthusiasm.

Cat went back into the office to gather her things and Kara stayed out on the balcony to watch the city. She couldn't believe this was real. Cat knowing that she was Supergirl made it all so much better. It was why she offered to fly her in the first place. It had been one of the reasons she felt so connected to James. He knew what she was going through from being friends with Kal.

Cat seemed to understand from a different perspective. She didn't know about her past, but she understood the burdens of being powerful. Not too long ago her personal life had been attacked and spread all over the news. It may not have been life or death, but it nearly ended her professional life.

If Cat hadn't known about Supergirl, she didn't know if she'd actually be able to go through with a relationship with her. She wanted a normal life, but at the first sign of danger she would have been tempted to end it to protect her.

It wouldn't have been fair to Cat to put the idea of relationship out there only to yank it away without explanation. She preferred this way more, open and honest from the start. Cat had the choice and accepted it with all of the consequences involved. It was better this way by far.

Cat returned to the balcony wearing more appropriate footwear and her bag in the crook of her arm. She looked as if she were simply heading home for the night, not about to fly through the city in the arms of a superhero. The look on her face was so unimpressed that Kara had to laugh. Cat just rolled her eyes.

"Are we doing this or not?"

"You'll need to be a little bit closer than that to fly with me." Cat rolled her eyes again before she hesitantly step forward.

"How do we do this?" Cat asked, looking her up and down like she was trying to understand the mechanics of how Kara worked.

Kara smiled indulgently. "Stand on my boots." She cleared her throat and felt a blush color her cheeks. "And place your arms around my, um, neck," she said, pointing awkwardly at her neck.

Cat started to grin at her nervousness as if she was a predator sensing weakness and stalked closer. She hummed and using Kara's arm for balance stepped carefully onto her bright red boots. Her hand moved slowly up Kara's arm to curl behind her neck and lock with her other hand. "Like this?" she asked, leaning into Kara.

"Yeah. That's about right," she stuttered out, taking a deep breath and winding her own arm around Cat. She could feel her boss take a deep breath of her own as she did. It gave her the courage to look down and meet her eyes. Cat's eyes were wide and excited. She licked her lips as her eyes drifted down to the freshly applied lipstick on Cat's lips. She wondered idly if the woman had applied it specifically for her while she got her purse. She hoped so.

"Are we actually going to do this or are you just going to stare at my lips all night?" Cat asked.

"I can do both," Kara said, raising them off the ground a few feet.

Cat gasped and Kara felt her grip tighten around her. "I'd prefer if you'd watch where we are going."

"Of course, Miss Grant," she said, looking up and tightening her hold before launching them into the sky.
