Several weeks pass quietly until one morning when Cat wakes up and finds Kara missing from her bed. The older woman groans and rolls out of bed to get ready for her day. After she gets dressed and takes Carter to school she still hasn't heard from Kara.
The media mogul comes into her office in a fury. Her worry over her lover has put her in a fowl mood. As soon as she slams the door to her personal office the phone rings. She sees her lovers name and picks it up instantly.
"Kara where the hell are you?" Cat asks around a lump in her throat walking on to the balcony. Cat sees a flash of red go a crossed the skyline and almost screams.
"Hey baby doll." Kara's exhausted voice fills her ear.
"Kara…" Cat warns and Kara chuckles.
"It's all going to be okay sweetheart. This alien has a self destruct, i have to get him outside of the city limits."
"Kara Danvers you put him down right now!"
"Cant, have to get him far away."
"I'm serious! Drop him and get back here now!"
"I love you Cat, love you and Carter so much." Kara whispers and Cat almost screams into the phone again.
"Love yo-…" the line cuts off and Cat screams throwing it through her glass doors. A moment later she hears an explosion in the distance and turns around to see the red caped hero fall to the ground.
"Damn you Kara Danvers!" Cat screams slamming her hands against the balcony wall.
Cat grabs her phone from the broken glass and taps viciously at the cracked screen. She pulls up Alex's number and dials it.
"Alex! Kara just exploded and fell from the sky!"
"she just fell off our radar. Don't worry Cat i'll find her." Alex replies and Cat closes her eyes and throws her head back.
"please. i need her." cat whispers and the line goes dead.
Cat spends the rest of the afternoon watching tv broadcasts and hoping to see any sign of where her partner has gone. Later that night she gets carter from school shielding the fact that Kara is missing from him. She makes dinner and calls her son from his room to the kitchen.
"Mom when is Kara coming home?" he asks and she bites her lip trying to come up with what to say.
she is saved by a knock on the door and Carter mad dashes to it expecting to see Kara, but instead he is met with the sight of her sister. Carter looks around Alex for his hero.
"Where is Kara?" he asks and Alex takes his hand guiding him back inside. Cat doesn't speak when she sees Alex just bites her lip and turns around.
"Whats wrong?" Carter asks chasing after his mother and taking her hand.
"Something has happened to Kara." He says and stands in front of his mother.
"Shes not coming home is she?" he all but wails and spins slamming his hands against the wall. Alex springs forward and grabs him before he can hurt himself.
"Carter calm down. Yes, something has happened to Kara but we will find her. I will find her." Alex whispers wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him.
"What happened?" he asks sniffling
"There was an alien. It was going to blow up and kill a bunch of people downtown. Kara took it out of the city where it couldn't hurt anyone." Alex explains and Carters eyes widen.
"No! No! No! I want Kara!" the boys yells against Alex and she just holds him tighter.
"I know, shhh sweet boy. I'll find her." Alex whispers

*Kara*
I hear a beeping sound and slowly open my eyes to look around. I am in a hospital room surrounded by machines.
Cat? Where is Cat?
"Shh love I'm right here and so is Lexi." Cat whispers coming into view holding a little bundle in her arms.
"You did such a good job sweetheart. She is beautiful." Cat says showing Kara the baby in her arms.
Baby? When did i have a baby?
"Whose baby is that?" Kara croaks out using her bruised voice.
"Sweetheart are you okay? Its our little girl. You just came out of labor." Cat looks at her concerned and Kara looks at the baby in her arms.
"I had a baby? We have a baby?" she asks and Cat nods grinning brightly.
"do you want to hold your daughter?" she asks and Kara nods slowly while licking her dry lips. Cat places the little human in her arms and Kara instantly falls in love.
"Isnt she beautiful Kara?" Carter asks walking into the room smiling brightly. He comes over to the bed and looks down at his little sister.
"that she is Carter." Kara whispers kissing her baby's head.

*Cat*
Alex carries Carter to his room, he exhausted himself crying and ranting about Kara. When Alex comes back she find Cat standing on her balcony looking out at the sky.
"Cat you need to get some sleep." Alex whispers but Cat shakes her head.
"Cant sleep without her. I miss her, i miss feeling her." Cat whispers placing her hand on her chest.
"wait a minute, you guys are bonded." Alex says and Cat looks at her like she is stupid.
"Yes. so?"
"Maybe i can use you to find her. Come on." Alex says pulling out her phone and barking orders into it. cat fallows the older danvers confused but obediently.

*Kara*
The young hero looks around the room at her little family. Alex is curled up in the arm chair while Cat lays next to her in the bed holding the baby. Carter plays his video games on the tv while periodically looking over at Kara and the baby.
I cant remember being this happy.
(Take a nap love. Your thinking is keeping me awake.)
Kara smiles at her lover before taking her baby carefully from Cat. The older woman lets the child go and cuddles into Kara.
"Kara come on its time to wake up. Kara lets go, come on." She hears a voice and looks around for the source.
"No, I'm happy here." she replies fighting the voice.
"Kara come back, please love. Come on." She hears the voice again as Carter and Alex leave the hospital room. Cat stands up and looks down at her.
"Give me the baby sweetheart."
"No! she's mine!" Kara cries but Cat reaches down and takes the baby anyway.
"Its time for you to wake up love." cat whispers kissing her cheek and walking out of the room.
"No! Bring back Lexi!" she screams kicking the bed angrily. A few moments later a doctor wearing a mask comes in carrying a shot. She fights him franticly but he sticks her with it anyway. Slowly she sinks into darkness.
"Kara wake up sweetheart. Come on. Its time." she hears a voice repeat.

*Cat*
Alex speaks to her little sister who is laying in the sun bed at the DEO. Cat just watches from the corner not knowing what to say or do. Just the relief of having Kara back in the same room as her is overwhelming.
The two women left the house and went to the last spot Kara was on the radar. Alex than guided Cat around as they tried to use the bond to find the missing hero. Finally they find her in a crater size hole she made when falling from the sky.
"Kara come on. Its time to wake up." Alex repeats brushing her sisters hair from her head.
"no bring back Lexi." Kara mumbles and Alex looks at Cat confused.
"Kara wake up." Alex says and a few moments later the hero opens her eyes.
"There you are beautiful." Alex whispers kissing her sisters head.
"Al? What happened?" Kara asks looking around blearily.
"You got in a bad fight. You had us really worried." the agent says and Cat walks over to the bed.
"Cat" Kara breaths out in a sigh of relief.
"I'm right here sweetheart." Cat takes her hand and kisses it.
"Cat?"
"Yes?"
"Can we have a baby? I wanna name her Lexi." Kara mumbles falling back into sleep. Cat looks at her shocked but just squeezes her hand.
"When your better we will talk about it." Cat whispers against her hero's head.
"m'k Kit-Cat." Kara mumbles drifting back to sleep. Cat lets out a relieved breath and looks over at Alex.
"we got her back."
"always." Alex replies and Cat looks down to watch her hero sleep.
