Cat comes into her office and sees a steaming cup of coffee on her desk. The boss walks over to the desk and lifts the coffee. She looks around for her mate that she hasn't seen in a few days. Since the night she kicked Kara out in anger.
"Where are you?" She asks looking around because she knows that it had to be Kara that brought her the drink.
She takes the drink and walks out onto the balcony and looks over the skyline. After a few minutes she sees her caped hero sitting on the ledge of the building a crossed from CatCo.
Kara knows her lover sees her but doesn't move. She watches Cat bring the coffee to her lips and sip it. Even though she is upset with Cat, the woman's employees shouldn't have to suffer. She feels a tug against her mental wall and lowers it for a moment.
(Thank you my love) Cat whispers into Kara's mind and the hero's shoulders sag in momentarily relief at hearing her mates voice. Kara's ear piece sounds off and Kara answers it.
"Kara we need your help." Alex's voice pours through the earpiece into her ear.
(Stay safe Cat.) Kara says into her lovers mind.
Cat watches as Kara leaps off of the balcony into the sky. The older woman fallows the caped hero a crossed the blue skyline.

Kara shuffles her wait between the balls of her feet while she waits on the bell to ring. A few moments later the doors to the school open and the children come piling out.
"Kara?" She hear as she looks through them and a moment later she is holding an arm full of a little boy.
"Hey Carter." She whispers hugging him to her tightly and smelling his hair. The same distinct smell his mother has is all over him.
"What are you doing here?" He asks pulling away and standing in front of her.
"I just wanted to come check on you. See how you are. I've been watching over you, but i wanted to talk to you." She says reaching forward and resting her hand against his chest feeling the steady rhythm of his heart beat under her hand. Her relief is pliable, she can feel his strong heart under her palm and instant feels better.
The hero doesn't know that at the very moment she held the boy in her arms her metal walls went down and her mate can now feel everything. A crossed town Cat feels an instant sense of relief and peace wash over her mate. She looks around confused by whats going on.
"Have you talked to mom? Will she let you come back yet?" The young boy asks excitedly and Kara smiles sadly.
"Not yet little man, but soon. In the mean time i brought you something." Kara holds out her palm to the boy and revels a small Bluetooth ear piece.
"If you ever need me for any reason, just use this to call me." She says and Carter takes it carefully like it is the most precious thing in the world.
"There is only one person other than you who has one of those to reach me." She says and the little boy looks up at her expectantly.
"Mom?" His voice full of hope.
"No, your mom has her own way to reach me if she wants to. I was going to say Alex. Only you and Alex have one of those." She says and his face lights up in a bright smile.
"That's the coolest thing ever! Thank you Kara!" He exclaims tackling her in a hug once again.
"I care about you so much. I want you to reach me whenever you need me." She tells him kissing his cheek.
Cat feels her mates love and happiness building in her chest. She paces her office trying to figure out whats going on. Why is Kara so happy all of the sudden?
"Can you take me to mom so i don't have to ride the bus?" He asks and Kara smiles ruffling his hair.
"Of course. Come on handsome." They walk behind a building and out of sight. Kara changes before wrapping her arms around him and flying him to CatCo.
"Go on kid, don't worry i'm always watching out for you." She whispers in his ear as she holds him close.
"Bye Kara." He whispers as she slides the Bluetooth piece into his pocket on his coat.
"Call me if you need me." She calls after him as he walks into CatCo.
A few moments later the elevator dings and Carter walks into his mothers office. The older woman is pacing but looks up surprised when she see him.
"Hi baby, how did you get here so soon? The bus is usually another twenty minutes." She says looking at her watch.
"Kara got me and dropped me off." He says and Cat's face gives away her shock. She looks around her son looking for her mate.
"Kara? Is she still here?" She asks, she has spent the better part of a week trying to use there mind connection to talk to her mate with no luck.
"No she just dropped me off and left." He says and Cat sighs nodding.
"Okay well why don't you sit at her desk and play your games." The mother offers the son as she goes back to her desk and sits. Kara floats outside of the office building watching over her loves. She sees Cat sit at her desk and watch her son through the mirror. Kara floats over to a building a crossed from CatCo and sits on a ledge watching the building with her lover inside.

Cat walks out of the bar she is doing business in to check her phone for news of SuperGirl. She walks into the alley and paces as she watches the headlines. She walks into a large body and looks up to yell at someone.
"Excuse you?" The older woman snaps and than sees a large man.
"So rude." The man says crossing his arms and Cat begins to get nervous.
"Move out of my way." Cat glares at him but he just smirks un-moving. The media mogul takes a step back and the man fallows.
Cat's palms start sweating and she looks around for an exit as the man stalks closer. A moment later the woman tries to run but the man suddenly pins her to the wall.
"What the fuck?" She snaps and his eyes flash with light and Cat gets more nervous now knowing that he is an alien.
"What do you want from me?" Cat whispers because he is pinning her to the wall with his hand around her neck.
"You are the mate of the woman you call SuperGirl." He smiles a slimy smile and Cat's eyes widen.
"What are you talking about?" She hisses and he rolls his eyes.
"SuperGirl has recently gotten more powerful in the last couple weeks. Her energy is felt all over the city. The only way that is possible is if she had mated and bonded. I than started watching her and noticed that she spends most of her time watching out for you." He says and Cat sucks in a breath hearing that Kara has been watching over her.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Kill you of course." he responds and Cat freezes in fear.
Suddenly the alley is filled with a loud sound and the man is thrown off of Cat. The woman starts to fall to the ground but is caught. She looks up to see Kara holding her. The hero looks her over as she sets her on the ground.
Kara turns on her heel and chargers at the man. He doesn't even see it coming and Kara slams him into the wall.
"Did you just threaten to kill her?" Kara growls pinning the man to the wall.
"Are you upset that i threaten your little human mate? Oh how proud would your parents be to know their precious little Kara from the house of Zor-El mated with a weak human." he says and Kara's eyes flash with anger.
"Thats it, we are done here." Kara snaps baring her teeth.
"You think you can stop me from killing her or her precious son… Carter." He threatens and Kara lifts him off the ground and flys him out of the alley.
A few moments later she comes back into the alley and touches down in front of Cat. They look at each other without speaking and Kara can see that Cat is shaking. The hero wraps her arms around her mate and her heat beats loudly against her chest. Kara slowly lifts her off the ground and carries her home. When they touch down on Cat's balcony Cat is asleep in her mates strong arms. The hero lays Cat on her bed and tucks her in carefully and kisses her head before exiting the room.
The young woman walks through the hallway looking into the bedrooms to make sure everything is okay. She pushes the door to Carters room open and slips inside. The hero sits down on the edge of Carter's bed and looks at the sleeping child.
"Sleep well little prince. I'm watching out for you." Kara whispers kissing his head and standing.
The hero finishes walking through the rest of the house checking it. When she is satisfied that the house is secure she leaps into the night sky and fly's away.
