Soon enough, the next morning came around. It was already 9am. Lena was already at Catco, watching as her employees walked in. She watched everyone filter in, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Kara.

Dressed in a blue shirt and light blue pants, Kara looked stunning and like a ray of sunshine like she always was, but after Lori was born, their work dynamic and their friendship changed dramatically. They both had their parts to play too.

Work was strictly professional and nothing more.

Personal life, well, that didn't exist in the last three years. Kara chose to stay away. Everyday, it was like the pair had never met. Lena did try though, sending her emails, asking if she was okay when she had a particularly hard night as Supergirl.

Over the years, for no reason whatsoever, tension built between them. Kara had her part to play, Supergirl. That was fine with Lena, completely, but she just missed their friendship. The late night texting with hundreds of emoji's from Kara and pictures of food too. Lena would always chuckle at those.

Once she got married, three years ago, Kara just stopped texting on a night time, and Lena had no idea why. However one night when Lena was alone, she had text Kara to come over. Lori and her husband were out, so she needed to talk to Kara. She wanted to know why she was getting the cold shoulder when she had done nothing wrong.

Three Years ago…

Lena sent Kara a text message, asking her if she was free to come over and talk. She put her phone back down on her desk and drank the glass of water beside her. Five minutes, she heard footseps on her balcony, signalling that Kara was there.

The woman stood and went over to the balcony, opening the doors, "I'm glad you could make it." She said in a modest voice.

As Kara walked in with her hands on her hips, she looked around, making sure that no one else was there. She didn't want her daughter to know anything.

"She's out with her father-" Lena stopped herself, "I'm sorry, that was wrong of me."

"Does she call him dad?" Kara asked in a stern tone.

Lena shrugged, "You stated very clearly the day you gave her to me that she isn't to know who you are and since I don't know who her father is, I can hardly stop her from calling Robert her father. That isn't why I text you."

"Then why did you?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.

Lena raised a brow, "Do you really need to ask?" She scoffed, "Look at the way you're acting.I've tried to keep on good terms with you since the day you gave her to me and yet that doesn't seem to be enough for you. You've gone cold on me Kara and I don't like it."

"You got married and I wanted to give you space." Kara said honestly.

"And what about before that? I'm raising your daughter, I get it if it hurts."

"Yeah, you're right!" Kara snapped, "It hurts me so much Lena! I shouldn't be snapping with you because I know that I gave her to you. I gave her to you and there is a part of me that regrets ever doing so and ever since Alex died-"

Lena's eyes widened, "Alex died?!" She gasped, this was news to her. She was stunned, but this could explain so much. Kara had been cutting herself off from everyone and not just Lena.

Kara swallowed the lump in her throat, "You've done an amazing job. I am so happy that my little girl is happy and that you are raising her into a perfect young woman…Has she developed her powers yet?"

Another bombshell.

"Powers?!" Lena gasped, "Okay, first of all, I did not sign up for that."

"You signed up for her." Kara said pointedly before laughing, "I'll teach you, and then you'll be well informed. Because I don't want her finding out though I want her to have a small amount of Kryptonite on her at all times. I know I judged you for when you created Kryptonite, but I now see why it could come in use."

Lena nodded slowly, "What age do they develop?"

"Around thirteen."

"It's a good job I have a bit of time to prepare then." She smiled, sighing in relief, "Kara, you know you don't need to cut me out. I can help you through this."

Kara knew she was only being friendly, but she couldn't do it, "I'll help you when the time comes with her." Kara said as she walked backwards towards the balcony.

"Kara." Lena sighed heavily. She wished she could help her, but the hero was gone before she could say anything more.

That was the last time she had spoken to her both as Supergirl and Kara Danvers. The rest of the time, it was in a professional setting and about work.

Sure, Kara taught her how to help with her daughter when she developed her powers, but after that, it was always professional. No more lunches, brunches or evening drinks.

Alex must've passed away a while ago, because Kara had just closed the world off slowly but surely.

Back in present day, Lena stood at the head of the floor just outside of her office and watched as Kara got straight to work with assignemts without a care in the world. Lena had to clear her throat, and made an announcement and as she did, Kara stared at her, but her care for the woman was vacant.

God did Lena miss it, miss her.

"Good morning everyone, this morning we are having a class from National City Elementry visiting us. I will be giving a tour, showing them what goes on here, behind the scenes of Catco. I am confident that you will all give them a warm welcome upon their arrival and throughout the tour. Kara, I want you to write a piece after the tour if you will, while James will be in charge of taking photographs. They will be arriving in just under twenty minutes. Thank you." She said to them before heading back into her office.

Kara followed her a few seconds later, walking in without knocking, "Miss Luthor, can we talk?"

Lena spun around on her heel, a small smile gracing her lips, "Miss Danvers, what's the problem?"

Kara crossed her arms, glaring ever so slightly, "I think you know. You never said, never warned me. You never consulted me on this."

"Since we never talk Kara, and since she is my daughter, I don't need to consult you on anything she does."

"That's not fair." Kara bit back, "The day we met to talk about her powers-"

"You told me that you didn't want to know anything that she was doing because it was hurting you to know that I was spending moments with your daughter that you should be spending with her." Lena retorted, but she kept a kind tone, "I respected your wishes Kara."

"Bringing her into my workplace is a different thing all together."

Lena walked behind her desk, "I'm trying to do everything as you asked and even that isn't enough for you. Kara what more can I do? Yes, you'll be seeing her today, unless you want to work with Jan downstairs on proof-reading."

Kara shook her head, "No, I just..I wish you could have given me more warning that's all."

Lena knew she was in the wrong herself. She sighed heavily, "I'm sorry Kara, I just-"

"You're trying for your daughter." Kara smiled sheepishly, "You want her to have a normal life…She doesn't know me…I'll be a stranger to her anyway."

"But she won't be a stranger to you." Lena said pointedly, "I'm sorry that I'm doing this to you…Why don't you take the morning off?"

Kara shook her head, "No, no it's fine. I'll do that article for you."

"Are you sure Kara?" Lena asked with concern clear in her voice.

"Positive." Kara smiled unconvincingly.

"Alright then." Lena said firmly, "But if you need to leave at any point, just do it and I won't ask questions."

Kara nodded slowly before turning to leave, before turning back to Lena, "Thank you." She said quietly.

Lena merely nodded in response, and watched in silence as Kara left her office.

…..

Kara stood up as the teacher walked into the office minutes later with Lena leading the class of children, "And this is where we have some very clever people designing the latest cover of Catco magazine, and the amazing people writing the stories. You have the journalists and reporters." Lena made it to Kara's desk and looked at her for some sort of confirmation that it was okay for her to walk over.

The blonde smiled in a sweet way as she stood up from behind her desk and walked to the front.

Her boss watched her carefully before introducing the children to her, "This is Kara Danvers, she is perhaps the best reporter on my team. She gets stories in on time and gets them to print straight away. Mainly she reports everything to do with our resident superhero, Supergirl."

The kids gasped in awe and shock, Lori was also new to this information. She really loved Supergirl, but wasn't so much of a fan that she had posters. The young girl was interested in all aliens. She liked the idea that there wasn't only just humans on the planet, but there were more amazing things out there.

"Kara will be writing a little about the day out you guys are having, and it will be put in the magazine. Who knows? Maybe your thoughts on your time here might be put in there too." Lena smiled, before turning to the class, "Now, if anyone has any questions for Miss Danvers, please ask away."

Lori's hand shot up instantly.

Both Kara and Lena stifled a chuckle at the young girl's eagerness, "Yes? You." Lena said to Lori.

Lori pushed her glasses up her nose the way Kara did when she was nervous. It stunned Kara for a moment. This was the first time she had properly seen her daughter in the flesh and her likeness to her was so striking that Kara had to take a moment.

Lori frowned when Kara didn't answer her question, as did Lena.

"Miss Danvers?" Lena asked softly, clearly concerned.

Kara snapped herself out of her daze and smiled sheepishly, "What is the question? Sorry, I had little bit of a headache."

The young girl waited a minute, "I'm aware that you once worked for Cat Grant and I was wondering if you'd tell me what she was like?"

"Right." Kara laughed sheepishly, adjusting her own glasses, "She was…My mentor. She taught me everything that I know. She could be tough, but she was tough for a reason. It made me into a better journalist, and eventually made me realize that I wanted to be a reporter. Cat is a brilliant, fierce woman."

Lori thanked Kara, before letting others ask her questions.

After lunch time Lena got an email from Kara. She clicked on it.

Inside had an attatchment of her article, and the photo James took of the whole class.

There was also a message:

Thank you for today.

That was all the message read. Lena responded to the message with,

I was just doing my job. You did well today Kara.

After that there were no more messages between them. But Lena's phone was flooded with messages from Lori, oh boy did she enjoy her day.
