"Morning babe, i'm going to be late coming into work. SuperGirl is needed but i will be in as soon as i can." Cat listens to her voicemail sitting in her office seat. She can hear the wind rushing all around Kara on the message.
"Damn it Kara get back here." Cat curses taking another sip of her whiskey and replaying the message. So what that she has listened to the message ten times today.
Kara sent her that message this morning at eight and its now five thirty. SuperGirl should be done and back by now.
Cat spins her chair around and flips the tv on. All of the news stations are covering SuperGirl rescuing people from a building fire this morning. The last shots they have are Supergirl flying out of the building and setting down a baby in a mothers arms before reentering the building.
Cat bites her lip watching her tvs for any news of her girlfriend. Kara is supposed to be back here safe with her by now.
"And the last shots anyone has of SuperGirl is her reentering the building four hours ago. For the first time someone is stepping forward with some information. A young man says he saw Supergirl leave the building carrying an alien with her. All we can hope now is that SuperGirl resurfaces safe and sound." The anchor girl says and Cat turns the tv off angrily.
Cat stalks over to her office door and swings it open looking around the large room for James. She calls for him several times before going back into the office and finishing off her drink.
"Yes Mrs Grant?" James asks coming into the office. Cat signals for him to close the door and walk over.
"Have you heard from her today?" She asks James looking very worried.
"No Mrs Grant sorry. Lucy says that she exited the city's border several hours ago in a fight with an alien." He says looking sad that he can not provide more information.
"Okay well just let me know if you hear anything." Cat says falling back into her chair. James heads for the door to the office before turning around.
"Shes told you hasn't she." James says and Cat looks up at him confused.
"What?"
"Shes told you that she loves you." He says and Cat opens her mouth to argue but that closes her mouth nodding.
"Yes she has and now she needs to be back here. With us." she says and James looks at her sympathetically.
"Dont worry to much Cat, she will come back to you. Nothing could keep her from you." He says before leaving the office.
Cat takes her drink and walks out to the balcony. She looks over the city swirling her drink in its glass. The media mogul scans the skyline for any sign of her girlfriend in the setting sun. She pulls out her cellphone and dials the only person she can think to call.
"Hello?"
"Alex what do you know?" Cat asks sitting on her couch.
"Cat, we are trying to track her right now. Don't worry I will find her." Alex's dependent voice fills the phone and soothes Cat some.
"Please let me know the moment you know anything." Cat begs her and Alex assures her she will before hanging up.
"Kara, sweetheart please come back to me." Cat says into the night air before going back into the office.
00000000000000000000000
"Cat please calm down, this isn't doing any good. Kara wouldn't want you to act like this." Alex tries to calm her sisters girlfriend down. Cat spins and glares at the other woman before continuing her pacing.
"It doesn't matter what she wants. She isn't here!" Cat growls throwing a glass a crossed her office.
It has been about three days since Kara went missing and Cat is quickly losing it. She has been keeping it together in front of Carter. But with Alex here in her office watching her she cant hold it together.
Alex has been staying with Cat for several hours a day for the last couple days. She knows that Kara would want her to take care of Cat. Alex doesn't know what to do for the older woman who is clearly very upset.
"Cat i know your worried. Hell i have never been more worried-…" Alex tries to calm the older woman who just glares at her.
"i need to get back to the office. Hank needs me. I will let you know if i hear anything." Alex says resting her hand on Cat's arm.
"Please try and keep it together. Call me if you need anything." Alex says before leaving the office.
Once Alex is gone Cat falls into her chair rubbing her forehead. She has been falling about without Kara there.
"Kara i need you to come home. I miss you so much, please come home." Cat whispers into her drink.
Later that night Cat comes into her bedroom after putting Carter to bed. Cat pacing her room finding it hard to get into her nighttime routine. The windows burst open and Kara collapses on her carpet.
"Kara? Darling." Cat runs a crossed the room and falls to the floor next to Kara. The younger woman rolls over and looks up at Cat with a smile.
"Hey babydoll." Kara smiles up at her while she sits up.
"Are you okay?" Cat asks looking her girlfriend over.
"Yes sweetheart i'm really okay." Kara says standing and pulling Cat up with her.
The older woman moves away for Kara and the super hero just watches her confused. Cat moves over to her bedside table and grabs the first thing she can find.
"Great, Than where the hell have you been!" Cat yells and throws her hairbrush at Kara who barely dodges it.
"Let me explain Cat." Kara says and Cat looks around for something else to throw. Kara moves a crossed the room and wraps her arms around Cat before the older woman can react.
"Baby please." Kara begs holding her love tightly. Cat growls but lets her girlfriend hold her. After a moment she relaxes into the embrace finally enjoying her love being there with her.
"I fight him all night before killing him. I passed out, outside the city limits and when i finally got my strength back i flew straight here." Kara whispers into Cat's hair rubbing her back.
"You need to call Alex. She has been worried." Cat says pulling back a little and resting her hand on Kara's face.
"I called her on the way here." The hero whispers finally getting to drink in her love. Cat nods slowly running her thumb over Kara's chin.
"Your staying here tonight." Cat announces in a way that books no refusal. Kara finally gets a good look at the older woman. Her face looks beautiful but exhausted and there are bags under her stunning eyes.
"Baby when was the last time you slept?" Kara asks kissing Cat's forehead.
"The night before you left." The older woman whispers and Kara whimpers.
"I'm so sorry." Kara apologizes and Cat shakes her head.
"Lets get you ready for bed honey. You need to sleep." Kara kisses her knuckles.
"Come on darling." Cat says pulling Kara into the bathroom with her.
Kara watches Cat brush her teeth and change for bed. Once Cat is finally ready for bed she pulls her girlfriend into the bedroom with her. Cat climbs into the bed and motions for Kara to join her but Kara just watches her.
"Kara Danvers get in this bed now." Cat demands and Kara uneasily joins her.
The younger girl lays stiffly in the bed until Cat rolls over and curls up against her. Cat lays her head against Kara's shoulder and wraps her arm over her partners middle.
"Thank you for coming back to me." Cat whispers against Kara's shoulder.
"Always baby." Kara replies into the other woman hair.
0000000000000000000
The next morning the duo gets ready to start there day. Kara tries to go home to change her clothes but Cat refuses to let her leave.
"Kara we can just go over there together after Carter gets on the bus." Cat says over her shoulder to the other woman who is still laying in bed.
"Okay, but you know i could go over and be back in like ten minutes." Kara tries to reason with the older woman.
"Kara we aren't arguing about this. We can go over when Carter is gone. Leave it alone." Cat says and Kara sighs climbing out of the bed.
"Okay sweetheart, okay." She whispers kissing Cat cheek.
"I'm going to take a shower while you get Carter ready." Kara says going into the bathroom.
A little while later Kara comes out of the bathroom wearing a pair of Cat's pjs. She comes into the livingroom looking around for Cat.
"and he's off." Cat enters the apartment and walks over to Kara.
"Good morning sweetheart." Cat greets and softly kisses her.
"Lets go over and get you dressed." she says wrapping her arms around Kara's middle. the hero fly's out of the apartment.
Kara changes and they finally make it to the office. Kara says she will go get Cat's breakfast but the other woman wont let her leave the office.
"Im okay Kara, just stay here and help me with tomorrow's addition on the magazine." Cat says and Kara sighs nodding.
"Okay Cat." Kara says sighing and walking over to Cat's couch.
Kara knows that Cat isn't letting her out of her sight, but if this is what Cat needs to feel okay than Kara will let her have it. Cat watches her closely all day, not letting Kara get very far. The young hero just wears a small smile every time she leaves Cat's office to move around the building only to be called back moments later.
