Karry Universe

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Note: I know this is not a long chapter and I have been away from superhero chapters for a while and been doing mostly fluff but they were needed. This universe was built on fluff pieces and, let's face it, Karry Christmas was brilliant if I do say so myself. Anyway, the next chapter will be more action and superhero-packed for those who want it.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

Cat Grant was many things, but among them she was not an idiot. She knew Kara Allen was Supergirl. She had figured that out a very long time ago. She also knew something was up. Besides the fact that Barry and Kara had rented her private plane to go across country for Christmas, she had also noticed oddities in Supergirl's activity. At the moment she seemed to be the only one seeing it, but despite Supergirl appearing in the sky, she had yet to see her superhero actually do anything. Superdog and Flash were doing all the work along, with Firehawk and White Canary, while Supergirl just… made an appearance. Cat Grant was a curious person so she was in STAR labs at this very moment, walking toward where an employee had informed her Kara's office was.

Once near it she heard two men arguing. "That's enough!" She heard the familiar voice of her former assistant yell. "Hartley, his name was next on the list. The equipment is his to use for the next few hours. You get it tonight."

"I have a date tonight," a voice Cat assumed was this Hartley said.

"Then call your girl and tell her you have to reschedule," Kara said.

The voice laughed. "I don't date girls," Hartley said.

"Then call your boy," Kara sighed, "or reschedule your time on the machine or make a deal with Harm to get it now."

"I could be convince to trade you," a new voice said.

"See there, now go handle this like men, by yourselves and get out of my office," Kara said and Cat had to smirk to herself as two men retreated from the office. She was proud of her former assistant.

"Next time we go to Barry," one of them said.

"We were actually told to go to him more for the next few months," the other agreed, confusing Cat as they passed her without even a glance.

Cat went up to the open door and looked inside. Kara was leaning in her chair, a hand over her face. "I need an assistant," she moaned.

"I could send you one of my rejects," Cat said startling the girl but then she smiled as she looked at Cat.

"Ms. Grant," Kara said, standing up with a smile. She wasn't making any attempt now to hide the baby bump so Cat could see the little bump and smirked. That explained so much. "What are you doing here?"

"Well STAR labs has been big news lately. Buying Palmer Tech and all, and you haven't done an interview about it yet. I was wondering if I could use old connections to get first dibs. Unless you already gave it to Lois Lane."

"Perry forbids Lois and Clark from writing STAR labs article," Kara said.

"Seriously?" Cat said. "Now if I was him I would use that connection to my best advantage. Good thing I have my own." Cat walked in, closing the door to the office as she did and looked around. Kara had a nice office. Not as large as Cat's office in CatCo but a nice size nevertheless, with a nice desk and cabinet. She even had a couch set up in one corner and a nice large window. "I see you and your husband have been busy." Kara seemed confused, but Cat pointed at her stomach and she smiled, putting a hand on the bump.

"Yeah," Kara said. "It was unexpected but we're excited."

"Of course," Cat said. "I remember when I was pregnant… the second time more than the first. I so wanted to be the perfect mother. To make up for what I did wrong the first time around."

"Carter is a great kid. Him and Karen are amazingly close," Kara said.

Cat nodded. She did see a lot of the Mini-Kara these days. "Okay, I'm finished beating around the bush," Cat said, taking a seat on Kara's couch. "Its time we stop playing this game."

"What game?" Kara asked, confused.

"I know you're Supergirl," Cat said and Kara froze, unsure how to respond. "And I think part of you knows I know but doesn't want to admit it to yourself."

"Ms. Grant, I don't know what…"

"If you want to play the game then fine, but I have noticed Supergirl hasn't been too super lately. Flying around and having Superdog or the Flash doing everything. I assume that little bump is the reason why, but if you want to play games I guess I will have to write an article about Supergirl absence." Cat got up and headed for the door.

"Ms. Grant," Kara said quickly, and Cat turned around, knowing that would happen. Kara thought in her head of all the times when as Cat's assistant and how whatever lame excuse she gave, Cat seemed to take it and let her go. She even remembered the speech Cat had given her before Kara had gone to Starling to find the real Harrison Wells' body. "You knew the whole time." Kara looked at Cat and then thought the news to Barry.

"Not the whole time," Cat said reasonably. "But once I started getting suspicious it was easy enough to figure it out. I've helped you hide it a bit too. I made sure no one looked to the Allens." Cat smiled and took a seat. "Now I assume you don't want anyone knowing Supergirl is pregnant, am I right?" Kara nodded. "So you have been putting on the outfit and flying around so people can see you and hopefully no one sees the bump?"

"No," Kara said, confusing Cat. "It's a hologram, what you see in the sky."

"Very clever," Cat said, nodding appreciatively. "It's not going to work for much longer though. People will start to realize eventually. I'd give it another month or so before you need a cover story. I assume Ms. Lane is already trying to think of one?" Kara nodded. Lois had been trying to figure out how to give Supergirl some break time. "Well, tell her I will be in touch to hear her ideas and figure out my own. Together we can make a believable cover story."

"You would work with Lois to help me?" Kara asked, shocked. Cat Grant and Lois Lane did not work well together.

"I'm going to be doing what I have been doing for a while," Cat said. "Protecting you and that baby, and Barry. The only way I know how. What I taught you to do perfectly, as well. Manipulate the media. They'll buy into whatever story I tell them."

"Thank you Ms. Grant," Kara said, honestly grateful to the woman. She had done so much for Kara. More than Kara even knew.

"And Kara, you're not my employee any more. You have proven yourself an equal. Please, call me Cat," Cat said. and Kara smiled. "Now, I must be going."

"Wait," Kara said and Cat turned around. Barry tell Cisco and Caitlin I am bring someone into the cave.

Already have, Barry thought back, knowing that was coming.

"Come with me," Kara said with a smile, leading Cat out of the office and to the Superflash cave entrance from the main lab. She put her code in and then put her hand on the scanner and the door opened. Kara held it open and Cat raised an eyebrow but walked in.

"Welcome to the Superflash cave," Kara said as she closed the door and she walked in. Krypto was in his dog basket, Caitlin and Cisco at their computers, and Barry was sitting not far off. "You know my husband and dog." Kara introduced, and Krypto barked as Barry waved. "This is Cisco our computer expert and Caitlin our… well, our medical expert."

"I remember you two from the wedding," Cat said to them and they nodded. Cat looked around and saw the costumes on the mannequins. "It's an impressive setup you have here."

"Thank you," Barry said.

"Now, I have been dying to know. Who is Firestorm and where did he and Atom disappear to?" Kara laughed. Cat Grant always was trying to get the scoop.

"Well, if Cat is a part of the superfamily now I guess it's only right to tell her," Kara said. "Of course you'll have to protect them the same way you protect us."

"Personal curiosity only," Cat said with a smile, deciding not to comment on the superfamily comment. "And since I came all this way it's only right I do get that interview about the buying of Palmer Tech."

"Sounds fair," Barry said. "We can do it in a more comfortable place. A restaurant maybe?" Cat nodded.

"One question before we go," Kara said. "Does Carter know?"

"He is his mother's son," Cat said and Kara knew that was a yes.

"Caitlin, text Karen and tell her would you?" Kara asked.

"No problem," Caitlin said as the three left for the interview.

"Well, this is an interesting and unexpected turn of events," Cisco said, leaning back in his chair.

"Really?' Caitlin asked as she texted Karen for Kara. "I thought it was long overdue." Cisco shrugged as Krypto barked.

-Superflash-

Karen rushed down the hall of her school. School was over and she had finally got the text from Caitlin. She found Carter and grabbed, him pulling him into an empty classroom. "What?" Carter asked, confused as his best friend had just dragged him without a word.

"You know!" Karen said with a smile.

"Know what?" Carter asked, confused.

"Your mom told Kara today she knew, and you knew," Karen said, and Carter paused.

"She could have told me she was doing that," Carter said thoughtfully as Karen smiled.

"You know," Karen repeated, and hugged her friend who said 'ow'. "Oh sorry, super strength."

"Yeah," Carter said with a smile. "Okay, so now that the cat's out of the bag, you have got to tell me everything. Oh, and we took a guess you were Kara's clone but is that true?"

"Wow, yeah, good guess," Karen said, not having expected that. "Yeah it's true, and Kara won't let me be a hero until I am older. I'm only a year old, technically…"

"Wait a year?" Carter said.

"Yeah I was born 12," Karen said.

"That explains so much," Carter said, nodding to himself. "And maybe we should do this somewhere more private? Come on, come to my house."

"Deal," Karen said.

"Hey," Carter said, stopping Karen and whispered. 'Could you fly me there?"

"Yeah," Karen said smirked. "But I kind of have to be careful on where I take off."

"Okay we'll take the bus," Carter said. "But can you take me flying?"

"Tonight," Karen said with a smile, and Carter smiled too, taking her hand as the two left the classroom to head back to Carter's house.

Post Chapter Note: Like I said, it's a short one but was needed since Cat has known way too long without Kara knowing she knows. Plus, it's been way too long since I wrote for either Cat or Carter and that needed to be fixed.
