"Hey babydoll you ready to go?" Kara asks coming into Cat's office. The older woman stands behind her desk and walks over to her girlfriend.
"Where are we going?" Cat asks kissing her girlfriend lightly.
"We are going to get Carter and get some dinner." The younger girl says grabbing her lovers purse off the couch. Kara feels her lovers excitement in her belly and kisses her cheek. The butterflies in her stomach start up again and she giggles.
"Come on beautiful, lets get out of here." Kara grabs Cat's hand and pulls her out of the office.
When Carter climbs into the car his energy is contagious. He sees Kara and busts out in a huge smile beginning to tell them about his day.
"So all that information you taught me last week about volcanoes paid off today. The teacher asked about volcanoes and i got to tell her all these facts!" He says excitedly to Kara who smiles at the little boy and ruffles his hair.
"Thats so great little man. I'm so proud of you." The younger woman says and he smiles happily.
Kara feels a spike of happiness in her and realizes its coming from Cat. She looks over and sees the older woman smiling at her. Kara feels Cat's happiness elevate and she herself cant remember ever feeling this happy.
"Where do you want to eat my little genius?" Kara asks the little boy and he smiles brightly.
"Can we get pizza? Please?" He asks donning his puppy dog eyes.
"Please Cat?" Kara joins in and the older woman rolls her eyes but Kara can feel that she isn't irritated but still happy.
"Fine but you guys will eat some vegetables as well." She older woman says in her mom voice, but there is a twinkle in her eyes.
"Score!" Carter fist pumps before high fiveing Kara.
They arrive at the restaurant, a pizza joint with a game room that Carter ran off to as soon as they were in the door. Cat and Kara order the pizza and than find a seat in a booth along a large brick wall.
(Damn i really love you.)
Cat's head snaps up from her phone and she looks at Kara. The younger girl is just staring at her with a goofy grin on her face.
"What?" Kara asks confused at Cat's shock.
"What did you say?" The older woman asks and Kara shakes her head.
"I didn't say anything. I was just looking at you." The younger girl defends herself confused.
"No you said you loved me." Cat says adamantly and Kara's eyes widen.
"I didn't say that i just thought it."
"Do you mean i can hear your thoughts?" Cat asks shocked and Kara gulps loudly.
"I dont know. Hold on let me try something." Kara says before putting up a wall in her head and thinking about Cat again.
"Did you hear that?" She asks and Cat shakes her head.
(Your so beautiful)
"There, you did it again." Cat says in awe and Kara smiles nervously.
"Sorry i'll work on blocking my mind." She whispers sheepishly and Cat shakes her head vigorously.
"You don't have to do that. I want all of you. Do you think i could do that?" Cat asks and Kara shrugs.
(You make me so happy Kara Danvers.)
Kara's face lights up in a beautiful MegaWatt smile that takes Cat's breath away. The younger girl takes her lovers hand on the table.
(You make me so happy to)
They sit there for the next several minutes practicing their new connection. Kara never knew this was all possible but she cant remember being happier.
(We need to tall Carter about you being SuperGirl at some point soon.) Cat says and Kara looks at her worried.
(I dont know Cat. What if he doesn't take it well?)
(Why wouldn't he take it well? You are his hero.)
(I just don't know Cat. What if he thinks we lied to him?) Kara asks really worried about the little boys reaction.
(Sweetheart he will be okay. He needs to find out sooner rather than later. At some point he will see you fly into my room in costume and it wont be good.) Cat tries to reason with her younger lover who is worried.
"Why are you guys just staring at each other? The foods here, lets eat." Carter appears out of nowhere and the woman look over to see the waiter with the food.
"Your mom is just really pretty little man." Kara brushes it off and slides over so the little boy can get it.
"You guys are so weird." He says smiling and grabbing a piece of pizza.
"Its a love thing dude." Kara says and Carter fake gags and shakes his head.
"I'm just happy that you guys are so happy." He says and Cat smiles lovingly at the beautiful boy she has raised.
(Okay Cat, we will tell him later.) Kara tells Cat and the other woman smiles at her triumphantly.
-LATER
The night passes with the little group finishing off the large pizza and than Carter beating Kara several times in a racing game before the head home.
The little boy falls asleep in the car on the way home. Once they get back to the Grant home Kara picks him up from the back seat not wanting to wake him. The younger woman carry's him upstairs to his room with Cat following close behind them. Kara sets him down in the bed and covers him up.
"Thank you Supergirl." He mumbles snuggling under the blankets. Kara and Cat stop cold in their tracks.
"What did you say Carter?" Cat asks and the little boy rolls over.
"Kara is supergirl." He mutters and Cat looks at Kara shocked.
"How long have you known that?" Cat asks because Kara is still in shock.
"Months. They look-… same. Both-… really kind. So'k-… wont tell anyone." He falls back into sleep and Cat kisses his head softly.
"Good night little man." Cat takes Kara's hand and pulls her a crossed the hallway to Cat's room.
Once in the room Kara moves over to the bed and sits on the edge while Cat moves around the room undressing and preparing for bed. Cat stops when she doesn't see Kara move for a little bit.
"Darling?" She whispers moving over to stand in front her love. Kara doesn't respond so Cat kneels in front of her and opens her mind trying to find out whats going on.
(He knew all along… I have to protect them better. If anyone can discover its me i need to do something different-… Cant let anyone hurt them. They mean the world to me. Talk to Alex, that's what i need to do Alex will help me figure something out.) Cat pulls back out of Kara's head for a moment getting dizzy with all of the action in her lovers head.
(Kara?") she tries to speak into her head. Finally the hero stops and looks over at Cat, her eyes slowly clear of the fog that had settled over them. Kara looks at Cat and sighs looking her girlfriend over to make sure she's okay.
"i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay?" Kara asks resting her hands on Cat's face and staring at her.
"I'm fine sweetheart, are you okay? Whats going on in that beautiful mind?"
"I need you and Carter to be safe. I'm a threat to that." Kara whispers looking down at the woman on her knees.
"Darling you are the thing that keeps us the safest." Cat whispers turning her head to kiss Kara's palm.
"I would do anything to keep you guys safe." The hero whimpers sadly and Cat nods standing and straddling Kara on the bed.
"I know, i know. Shh love, your okay. We are all okay." The media mogul whispers cuddling into the hero's side.
