"Hey Kara can i talk to you?" Carter asks one day a few weeks later when Kara gets him from school. The girl looks over at the boy and smiles at him softly.
"Oh course buddy, whats up?" She asks him and he sighs before answering.
"I want to see my dad. I know that my mom doesn't like him and he wasn't nce to her, but i want to meet him." Carter says and Kara bites her lip not knowing how to respond to him.
"Have you talked to your mom about this?" She asks and he looks out the window.
"I dont know how to talk to her about it. She will be mad at me." He whispers and Kara reaches over and rubs his neck.
"She wont be mad honey. Talk to her about all of this. I understand why you want to meet your dad and your mom will to." She says and he smiles at her.
"Will you go with me to meet him?" He asks and Kara smiles softly at him and nods.
"Of course"
They spend the rest of the night laying around the apartment and playing video games while they wait on Cat to get home.
"Darlings, im home." Cat calls coming into the apartment. Kara and Carter jump up and run into the parlor.
"Hello sweethearts." The older blonde says opening her arms.
They spent the rest of the night eating and spending time together until Cat announces its time for Carter's bedtime. Kara hugs an kisses the little boys head before he runs off to his room.
Kara heads into Cat's room and sits on the bed content to wait for her lover. Half an hour passes and the door opens letting Cat come into the room like a hurricane.
"Whats wrong?" Kara asks feeling Cat's anger eating away at the pit of her stomach.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Cat growls at her and Kara stands from the bed worried.
"I dont know whats going on sweetheart." Kara says trying to figure out whats happening with her girlfriend.
"Dont." Cat snaps at her as she paces the room in a frenzy.
"Please talk to me. I can feel your upset, but tell me why." Kara begs moving over to comfort her love, but a look from Cat stops her cold. Kara's heart suddenly feels ice cold in her chest and she gets even more worried.
"You fucking went behind my back and talked to Carter about his dad?" Cat all but screams at her and Kara looks completely shocked.
"Thats not how it happened. Please calm down and we can talk." Kara says but Cat glares at her and stalks closer.
"Excuse me? Do not tell me to calm down. My son now wants to meet his father because you told him it was okay, normal and you would go with him." Cat hisses at her and Kara opens and shuts her mouth a few times.
"Cat thats not how any of this happened. Carter came to me." The younger woman tries to explain and Cat crosses her arms shooting daggers at her.
"You didn't think to talk to me about this?"
"I think you are being over dramatic and didn't give me the chance to." Kara says and instantly knows its the wrong thing to say by the way the anger increases in her stomach. The anger pushes its way up her throat and she feels like she could throw up.
"He's not your fucking son! He's mine! These are my decisions! You don't get a say. None of this has anything to do with you. You don't even know anything about Carter's father." Cat screams at her and instantly feels Kara's heart break.
"You know why i don't know? Because you wont tell me! You keep it to yourself. All i want to do is help you, but your so damn stubborn" Kara retorts moving closer to her love.
"Get out." Cat growls and Kara stares at her wide eyed.
"What?"
"Get the fuck out of my house." Cat hisses and Kara feels the pain those words cause her lover but Cat is so damn stubborn.
"When your ready to talk, call me." Kara hangs her head and walks slowly to the door before turning around one last time.
"I love you Cat Grant. Always." The younger woman whispers and feels Cat's heart break. The pain radiates behind her ribs in her own broken chest.
Kara exits the room and walks down the long hallway. She stops at Carter's door and pushes it open slowly. The young boy is laying in bed with tear tracks on his face. Kara walks in and sits down on the edge of the bed.
"Are you okay handsome?" She asks him and he shakes his head.
"Its my fault mom is mad at you." His bottom lip quivers and she shakes her head wiping away his tears. She pulls him to her chest and wraps her arms around him tightly. She feels an extra amount of pain in her chest that is new. Kara realizes that she is now feeling Carters pain as well.
"No its not. Its just a misunderstanding, your mom and i will be okay." She whispers running her fingers through his hair. She feels his hurt bubble up in the back of her throat and push its way to her mouth. She swallows the feelign back and pushes through.
"Its my fault." He repeats cuddling into her.
"Shh little man. Its not your fault, its okay. Lay down and go to sleep. Don't worry about your mom and i, we will be fine." She whispers laying him down and rubbing her hand over his back.
Kara continues to rub the little boys back as she starts singing to him softly in her native tongue. She feels his body begin to give into sleep as she sings to him. The younger woman can feel the heat of her mate near and knows Cat is standing in the doorway. She doesn't turn around or acknowledge the other woman.
"Shh little prince, your safe." She whispers bending over and kissing his head softly before pulling back. Kara stands adjusting his blankets tightly around him making him feel safe in sleep and turns around.
Kara moves past Cat and out of the room. She feels Cat follow her but doesn't turn around, finally she is at the door and leaves the house without so much as looking back. Her apartment feels cold and empty when she finally gets home.
"Alex i need you." Kara whispers into her personal com-mic to her sister.
"I'll be there in five." Her sister replies and a moment later there is a knock at the door. Kara slinks to the door and opens it. As soon as Alex is into the room she collapses on her in tears.
"What happened?" Alex asks guiding Kara to the couch.
Kara puts up her mental wall blocking Cat out before telling the whole story to Alex. The older sister sits still on the couch with her jaw locked and a scowl on her face.
Fucking Cat Grant.
"It just hurt so bad Alex. I can feel Cat and Carters pain and sadness on top of my own. I don't know how to block it out." Kara whispers suddenly feeling very tired.
"Come on kid." Alex guides her little sister to her bedroom and puts her in bed.
"Dont leave me Al." Kara whimpers and Alex slides into the bed along side of her.
"Dont worry sweetheart, i'm not going anywhere." Alex whispers wrapping the broken hero in her arms.
That night she cries herself to sleep in her sisters arms. A crossed town Cat Grant the great media mogul is trying to read her mates mind before giving up and crying herself to sleep.
