Cat looks up from her desk when you mother comes into the room like a storm cloud. The older woman stands in front of the desk with her hands on her hips.
"So where is she?" Cat's mother asks looking around the room.
"Who mother?" The media mogul asks standing to be eye level with the other woman.
"Your pet assistant that you're sleeping with." The mother says looking around the office in destain.
"I see that she's not here. Did she finally realize your out of her league?" The woman snarks and Cat locks her jaw.
"Kara is none of your damn business and neither is our relationship, which by the way, how did you find out about it?" Cat asks tapping her foot impatiently.
"I was talking to Carter last night and he was so excited to tell me all about how you are Kara have been dating. But i don't see her now, which means that she has left you." The mother says and Cat walks over to the bar to pour a drink.
"Kara hasn't left us, she is just out running errands." The women turn and see Carter in the doorway.
"Carter you don't need to lie. I can see that Kara is no longer at her desk. So what happened, did she grow up and realize that she didn't actually stand a chance with you outside of sex?"
"Watch it mother." Cat grows and Carter glares at the older woman.
"Oh well this is interesting, did she realize maybe that you are cold, hard and a tirant that cares more for her job than love?"
Kara thrashes in her sleep a crossed town as she sees Cat's mother torment her. The hero snaps out of sleep and realizes that she is seeing what Cat's seeing. The young blonde runs through the apartment and fly's out. A few moments later she touches down at CatCo.
"Don't talk about Kara like that." Carter yells at his grandmother an the woman turns on him. Before she can say a word though Kara steps in-between the two.
"Watch it." The kryptonian growls at her lovers mother.
"Where the hell did you just come from?"
"Not important, all you need to know is that where ever Cat and Carter are i'm close by." Kara hisses at the woman and she looks taken aback.
"Where do you get off? You are a nobody, you don't even deserve to breath the same air as my daughter and grandson." The woman says and Kara locks her jaw and steps closer to the woman.
"Believe me i know that, but your daughter doesn't think that and as long as she wants me I will be here to watch out for them." Kara says and the older woman takes a step back.
"I think its time you leave." Kara says in a tone that books no refusal. Cat's mother looks over at her daughter for backup.
When Cat doesn't say anything but raise an eyebrow her mother leaves in a huff. Once the witch is gone Carter wraps his arms around Kara's waist.
"Thank you so much for coming. How did you know to come?" He asks looking up at his hero. Kara guides carter over to the couch and motions for him to sit.
"I came because i could tell that your mother was upset and needed me." Kara says holding the boy close.
"Thank you for coming Kara." Carter whispers into her shoulder and Kara looks over him to his mother who is leaning against her desk watching the pair with relieved eyes.
"I will always come when you call sweetheart." Kara kisses his head and he lays against her closing his eyes. Kara feels cat tapping at the door of her mind and looks at the older woman. Sighing Kara lets her wall down and waits.
"thank you for coming." Cat whispers and Kara nods.
"Okay carter i have to go. Call me if you need me." Kara whispers into the boys hair standing. He tries to stand to follow her but she holds up her hand to stop him.
"Carter, no. Stay honey. I have to go, but if you need me you know how to find me." Kara says and she can feel the boys heart breaking.
"It's okay, I'm always around." She says trying to push down the sob in her throat. She feels Cat's anguish and looks over at her lover.
Kara leaves the office and can feel Cat following her. She gets to the staircase to go up to the roof. Once the door is closed Cat reaches out to touch Kara's arm.
"sweetheart can we please talk?"
"Cat, there is nothing to say. I'm not ready to talk." Kara says walking away from her love.
Later that night Cat pushes the door to her house open and comes inside. She smells something delicious and Carter runs past her to the kitchen. The boy has been mad at her all afternoon. He knows that she did something to push Kara away.
"Carter stop running." Cat calls and comes into the kitchen a moment later to find a full dinner laid out on the counter.
"How did all this food get here?" Carter asks picking up some bread.
"It was her."
"See mom she still takes care of you." He says running off to his room.
(Thank you love.) Cat whispers into her lovers mind.
