chapter 9
Kara needed time to breath and Pairs was a good place to do that. She had flown to pairs in her supergirl suit but didn't need to worry about her stomach being visible because her aunt Astra gave her a black cloak that use to belong to her mother. The cloak covered her belly perfect. Kara paid for two crepes and found a seat somewhere along the busy street of Pairs. She hadn't answered any calls in the past two weeks but she knew she needed to go back. When Kara finished her crepes she went to the hotel she'd been staying in and checked out. Kara didn't use her name she knew if she did they would find her. With that Kara flew off but she didn't fly home she flew to the DEO base the minute she began to fly she herd panic in the DEO and thought she should check it out even if Alex was going to kill her. Kara knew it couldn't be anything good considering everyone was shouting something different.
"Supergirl!" Kara herd as soon as she landed on the DEO base, but the yell wasn't from a DEO agent, Alex or even Lucy, it was Carter. The boy ran to the hero and wrapped his hands around her.
"Carter? Why are you here?" The agents got near the boy as if they were going to move him but Kara kept him close. Right behind the agents were Lucy, Hank, and Alex.
"Someone took my mom." Kara looked at the boy and could see the fear in his eyes. The red puffiness around his eyes that told Kara he had been crying. "Please save her."
"Of course." Kara promised. How could she have left without checking in the whole two weeks. Kara needed to do something to save Cat. "Carter it's not safe to be here so Lucy going to take you to stay with James okay." Carter agreed and left with Lucy. Alex hugged her sister. Close behind Alex was Astra who was being trusted only when Alex was with her.
"Good to have you back little one." Astra said.
"What happened to Cat?" Kara didn't have time to waste she needed to know what was going on. While Alex began to explain what happened and how she didn't need to worry about Cat because superman was already on it, Kara looked for a heartbeat and she found it. Cat's heart was still beating and by the sounds of it superman and Bryann were fighting.
"Kara I know you can hear me," Kara herd Cat's voice and blocked everything else out. "Please take care of Carter and that baby of yours." The words to Kara sounded like a goodbye and Kara started to fear for Cat's life.
"Alex what's superman's location." She ordered.
"Kara it's not safe for you; DEO agents are on they way with Hank as we speak." Kara didn't care if a whole army was sent Cat wouldn't truly be safe until she was in her arms.
"Alex I have to go." Kara said sounding very desperate. "She's the mother of my child Alex. I made her a promise that I wouldn't let any harm come to her or Carter, please let me keep it. I will be safe." Kara assure but before Alex could say anything someone in the back said the location by accident and Kara flew off.

Cat was scared, maybe even terrified but she wasn't going to let it show. Superman had managed to show up and stop Bryann from actually hurting her. The man of steel and Byann were currently fighting. Everything was going well until Byrann pulled out a glowing green knife. The knife stabbed into superman and Cat couldn't help but let the fear grow.
"Kara I know you can hear me," the blonde whispered. "Please take care of Carter and that baby of yours." That gave Cat peace she knew that Kara was out there listening and she would take care of Carter because she made a promise. To never let any harm come to him. Bryann was getting closer to Cat and she was sure that this time he would hurt her. The man began to reach out to touch her face and Cat couldn't help but close her eyes and turn away.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Came a familiar powerful voice from behind them. Cat knew that voice anywhere it was Supergirl. It was Kara's and Cat knew the reason she was here.
"Ah" Bryann spoke turning around. "So you did show up I was begin to doubt you would." Kara froze with fear when Bryann's green eyes met her's. Kara's felt like a 12 year old girl again. She remembered vividly what he did to her and sometimes she even feel like if his hands are running through her skin when she lays in bed. She felt so small and afraid but she saw Cat and Cat gave her strength.
"What do you want?" Kara spat. Her goal here was to get Cat and her cousin out of here. Kara noticed the knife in his hand and realized it was kryptonite. Kara and Byrann fought with each other, each trying to wound another. Both successful, Bryann buried the the kryptonite into Kara's stomach and Kara used her heat vision to melt his eyes. Kara herd his heart stop and she knew he was dead. Somewhere in between her panic Kara managed to untie Cat.
"Kara?" Cat said as she got close to Kara who was now on the floor bleeding. Kara was still aware of what was going on and she pulled out her phone from a hidden pocket. She press speed dial number 2 and hit call. Cat watch as Kara talked on the phone and then gave it to her.
"Miss Grant?" Asked the voice that Cat recognized to be Kara's sister. "I need you to listen carefully."
"Okay." Cat managed to whisper.
"That knife is probably already cause harm to Kara and the baby and Kara's body is going to try to keep the baby alive. If you don't get the baby out of Kara, we will lose both her and the baby." Alex instructed Cat in what to d
do and Cat managed to talk herself into it.
"Won't that hurt her?" Cat asked.
"Not if you cut carefully. Miss Grant your running out of time if Kara's bleeding the baby had been compromised now cut!" Alex ordered. Cat placed the phone down and pulled the knife out of Kara. She needed to cut Kara open to save the baby. If she didn't they could both die. Cat took off her sweater she was going to need it to wrap the baby. Cat made the cut and she tried blocking out Kara's screams of pain and agony. Without a second thought she pulled the baby out. Grabbing the knife again Cat cut the umbilical cord. She wrapped the baby in her red jacket. The baby was okay the crying was a good sign. The baby stopped crying and Cat lifted the phone back to her ear.
"The baby's okay." She informed Alex.
"Okay we're two minutes away when you hear the helicopter cover the baby." The call ended because the phone died but Cat go closer to Kara and could see that Kara was slowly giving up. Kara does want to give up her daughter was safe she had herd her cry she was in the arms of her other mother that all that mattered.
"Kara your daughter needs you please hold on. Love please don't die on us, we need you please." Cat cried. She herd the helicopters like she was told and she pulled the child into her.
"Take care of her please." Kara whisper as she drifted out of conscious. Spots around the abandoned warehouse collapsed as agents fell in. Cat felt two arms help her up and it was Alex. Lucy right next to her.
"I will I promise." Cat said.
"I'll go take her." Lucy said. Cat look back to see a green alien taking Kara but Cat could only assume he was taking her to safety.
"No." Cat said with a stern voice. Before Lucy could argue Alex told Lucy to leave with superman. Alex knew that Kara would want Cat with little one. Astra was right beside Alex.
"Ar-" Alex didn't finished her sentence due to Cat.
"Please take me to her." Alex nod and explained that Astra would be flying them. Cat held on tight to the baby. Astra landed them in the DEO and lead Cat to were Alex would examine the baby. Alex did everything quick and handed the baby back to Cat. Cat seemed unbreakable to Alex but today she was proved wrong. Cat was broken in this very second and her eyes, posture, and body screamed it.
"She's strong Cat she will pull through." Carter had been brought and Cat put on a fake smile for her son and send him to sleep in some sleeping room the DEO had. James had promised to keep an eye on him. Cat didn't let Kara's daughter out of her sight for one moment she needed to protect her. Hours later Alex came out and so did Lucy from wherever she was with superman.
"Miss Grant you can go." Lucy informed her. "I'll take the baby."
"No I want to see her." Cat demanded.
"You can't." Lucy didn't want Cat anywhere near Kara. Lucy knew Cat felt something for her girlfriend and Lucy didn't like it one bit.
"She going to be okay." Alex said walking out from where Kara was. "Miss Grant you could see her if you like?" Alex offered.
"I don't think my girlfriend would want her boss here." Lucy said. Alex and Lucy had had a talk about Kara and Cat and Alex knew Lucy was only acting on jealousy.
"She stays because that what Kara would have wanted." Alex said in her Director voice. Lucy gave up and let Cat through. Cat stayed all night next to the injured Kara and wouldn't leave her for a second. After three days Carter was brought in to see her.
"Kara" said the boy and Cat wasn't completely shocked if the boy would have know before her. "Please come back to us. Not just because we need our hero but because we need you. We need you smile, your laugh and even your obsession with cats." The boy placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"I'm not going anywhere buddy." Came the weak voice of Kara. Cat instantly and carefully rushed over to yell for Alex. In the past three days Cat hadn't let go of the baby girl. Alex had tears in her eyes but she couldn't cry she needed to check her sister first.
"You're good but you need to rest for the next week." Alex ordered. Kara didn't care about what Alex was telling her she was desperately trying to find her daughter, she knew the little girl had survived but she couldn't see her anywhere and she also couldn't find Cat. As if Cat was sensing what Kara was doing she walked over to Kara and handed her the baby.
"She alright Kara." Cat assured Kara and added. "She's perfect."
