The next morning Cat Grant walks into her office and doesn't see her assistant anywhere. When she walks up to her desk she sees her coffee and a single rose. She smiles and picks up the note attached to the rose.
-Good morning beautiful, sorry i'm not there to see you this morning. There was an emergency for super girl this morning. I will be over as soon. Hopefully your coffee is still warm when you get it.
Cat smiles and lifts the note to her nose and sniffs it. It smells like Kara making her feel warm inside. The woman sighs and drops the note into her desk and sits the rose in a glass from the bar on her desk.
Several hours pass and finally around lunch time Kara exits the elevator and comes into Cat's office. She shuts the door and Cat looks up her face breaking into a smile.
"Sorry it took so long. I brought your lunch, lettuce wrap." Kara says walking over and sitting the bag on Cat's desk.
"Are you okay?" Cat asks her standing and walking around the desk.
"Yeah i'm fine, minor league alien. No match for me." Kara says, but it doesn't ease her nervousness. Cat grabs Kara's wrist and pulls her to the balcony out of sight.
"Are you going to accost me with kisses again?" Kara asks with a raised eyebrow and smirk.
Cat raises an eyebrow in a way that shows she is not amused. Kara sighs while Cat looks her over. Cat takes her arms and looks them over before walking around her in a circle.
"Okay, so you are fine." Cat says letting out a breath.
"Yes, I'm invincible remember?" Kara says taking Cat by her shoulders and making her stand still in front of the hero.
"Doesn't mean i don't worry about you out there." Cat says leaning in and wrapping her arms around Kara's waist.
"Cat i don't want you to worry about me, i will always come back to you. Always." Kara whispers against the older woman hair.
"Did you get your rose this morning?" Kara asks and Cat pulls back some but still keeps her hands on Kara's waist.
"Yes, It was very beautiful and thoughtful, but you don't have to shower me with little gifts. I told you that your forgiven." Cat says and Kara frowns a little at the thought that Cat thinks she is only trying to make up for something. In all actuality she just wants Cat to remember the she loves her and is thinking about her.
"I'm not trying to fix my screw up, i want you to always know that i'm thinking about you. That i love you." Kara says and Cat cocks her head to the right looking at her.
"Your to good for me, you know that right? I don't deserve you." Cat says and Kara shakes her head smiling.
"Your everything i need and want." Kara says pulling her close again and kisses her forehead.
"Come on Kara, we have a meeting in twenty minutes that i need my assistant for." Cat says pulling her back into the office.
"Of course Mrs Grant." Kara says following her boss into the office obediently.
Half way through the meeting with a possibly new reporter coming to work for Catco, Kara got a text from Alex sayign there was an emergency down town.
Kara looks over at Cat who is watching her out of the corner of her eye. Kara mouths Alex and Cat gives her a nod so small only someone looking would see it.
"I am so sorry, but there is an issues with tomorrows issue. Please excuse me." Kara says standing and leaving the room.
Kara runs to the roof and changes on the way before jumping off the ledge. Back in the conference room Cat bites her lip nervously. No matter how many times she tells her self that Kara will be fine she still worries.
Cat doesn't hear anything from Kara for the rest of the afternoon. She spends the rest of the day watching the live news feed as Kara fights some alien. The last footage of super girl is her kicking the alien into a building wall before carrying him off out of sight. Even though she is worried about Kara beyond belief she goes on like normal. She gets Carter from school and they go home, she makes them food before finally tucking him into bed. After her son is safely tucked away she begins pacing her room anxiously.
Kara flys through the dark city pushing her tired body to go faster. The glowing green Krypton dagger lodged in her stomach is quickly draining her power. Alex has been blowing up her ear piece and Kara has not been answering her. Kara grits her teeth as she falls a little ways, she feels her powers leaving. Images of Cat flash behind her closed eyes and she pushes herself further seeing Cat's home come into sight. Kara groans as she pushes herself forward one last time before her powers go and she starts falling. Kara grinds her teeth as she falls towards Cat's balcony. All of the sudden she falls through the glass doors of the balcony with a crash.
Cat looks over from pacing at the sound of something crashing through her doors. Kara lifts her head from the ground and looks up at Cat. When Kara's eyes run over her loves a small smile comes to her face.
"Hey pretty girl." She says before dragging herself to the lean against the wall.
"Kara what happened? Why the hell are you here and not at the DEO where they can help you!" Cat runs over and starts running her hands all over Kara's face.
"Had-… to see… my-… my girl." Kara wheezes taking deep breaths in-between words. Cat's hands make there way down her neck and arms until she sees the green light glowing in Kara's stomach. Cat reaches down to touch the knife but is shocked when Kara's slaps her hand away.
"No-… not for… humans."
"Well what are we going to do about it? Is that what is draining you?" Cat asks and Kara nods in a way that Cat can see takes a lot of effort.
"need to-… call… Alex." Kara says rolling her head to the side some.
"No i don't want to leave you!" Cat exclaims and Kara shakes her head back and forth lethargically.
"Go… get-… phone." Kara lifts her hand and lays it on Cats shoulder pushing lightly, but Cat can see that it takes all of her energy.
"I will be right back. Keep your eyes open for me darling." Cat says laying a kiss on her lips that makes Kara smile lazily.
Cat jumps up and runs into the other room while still trying to remain quiet enough to not wake up Carter. After she finds the phone she runs back to the bedroom and lets out a breath when she sees Kara still leaning against the wall. Kara opens her eyes when she hears Cat come in and she smiles taking in the older woman.
"Hey-… baby" she whispers after swallowing. Kara closes her eyes and lets her head fall back against the wall.
"Sweetheart, whats your sisters number?" Cat asks and Kara mutters out the digits taking deep breaths. Cat dials the number and puts the phone to her ear.
"Kara open your eyes for me honey." Cat says sliding shuffling the wounded hero around until Kara's head is laying in her lap.
"Alex Danvers." The older Danvers worried voice fills the phone.
"Alex its Cat." The media mogul says into the phone as she runs her fingers through Kara's hair while the younger girl just stares up at her blinking lazily.
"Please tell me she's with you." Alex begs
"Yes she's here on my floor. There is some sort of green dagger in her stomach. I'm trying to keep her awake." Cat says
"We are on our way, we will be there in five minutes." Alex says before ending the call. Cat drops the phone and shifts her legs a little bit.
"Darling i need you to stay awake. your sister is on her way." Cat says running her fingers over Kara's face.
"I-… I would… do any-… anything for you." Kara whispers licking her lips while grabbing one of Cat's hands and placing a lazy kiss on the fingers.
"You really scare me when you go off and stay gone for hours without talking to me. I really care for you and if anything happens to you i don't know what i would do." Cat says watching Kara nuzzle her hand that is trapped between Kara's mouth and hand.
"always-… come… back… to… you…" Kara sighs behind the fingers.
Moments later Alex repels down to the balcony and drops. The older sister comes through the broken doors and drops next to her sister. Kara smiles up at her in a way that looks more like a grimace.
"he-y… lexy." Kara whispers closing her eyes.
"I've got you kid." Alex says looking over her sister. Hank and a team land and come into the room with a stretcher. Alex tries to release Cat's hand from Kara's grip. Kara doesn't open her eyes but growls at the person trying to take her loves hand.
"Kara let her go, we need to take you to base." Alex says trying to break the grip again. Kara bares her teeth lethargically.
"Kara Zor-El Danvers let go of her hand right now!" Alex snaps and Kara's eyes open and she gazes up at her sister.
"My-… Cat comes…" she croaks out and Alex looks over at Cat questioningly.
"What do i do about Carter? He is asleep in his room?" Cat asks and Alex thinks
"James-… or… Winn." Kara hisses with closed eyes.
"Perfect, i'll call James to come over and hang out incase Carter wakes up." Cat says dialing the man quickly and explaining that there is a super girl emergency she needs to deal with.
"Okay done. Now lets go. She's slipping." Alex says as they move Kara on to the stretcher. Kara tightens her hold on Cat's hand and growls.
"Cat-…" She doesn't open her eyes as she is moved.
"Shh darling, i'm right here. Let go of my hand so they can load you. I'll give it back as soon as we are in the chopper." Cat says kissing Kara's face and hand.
"kay-… cat" Kara whimpers letting go of the limb that she has been holding like a prize possession. Cat bites her lip watching the agents lift her girlfriend into the chopper. Cat following a few moments later and as soon as she is in the chopper she hears Kara muttering her name.
"Shh sweetheart, i'm here, i'm with you." Cat soothes her lacing their fingers again. Kara's face relaxes and she stops whining the moment Cat touches her.
"my Cat-… love my-… pretty Cat." Kara sighs settling down for the first time that night. Cat smiles and not caring about all the agents around she leans over and lays a light kiss on her wounded hero.
