Accidental Meeting

Since it wouldn’t take long for Kara to gather information on Supergirl, she decided to find James. She already knew James, formerly Jimmy to Clark, it was great to have a familiar face working at CatCo. It took her a few moments before she honed in on James’ voice and found his office.

“Kara!" James smiled while reaching out to give her a hug, “It’s great to see you, I see your coming out was a little sooner than expected. The big guy couldn’t have been prouder!”

Pulling away from the hug, “Kal-el, Clark! Saw it and is proud!? Oh man, that’s amazing, that makes me so happy.” Kara is beaming as her arms start to sway back and forth while she rocks on her feet.
“Well, it was a sight to see! Now, what can I give Miss Grant? I heard you’re her new assistant? What happened to junior editor?” James asked leaning back with his arms folded.

“Yeah, that happened, well I bumped into her this morning and bought her a latte before I realized she was my boss and then I saw her in her office and she decided working for her directly would be a better fit? So here I am.” She said not really being able to piece together why Cat Grant would want her to be her assistant. “You can tell her you secured her an interview with Supergirl herself, be at her office in 15 mins for a full reporting, I’ll create a spreadsheet of things we’ve gathered so far” Kara replied and she bounced out of James’ office. All James could do was shake his head while smiling as he saw Kara gleefully leave his office.

***15 mins later***

“I’ve compiled from various new sources and from James the following details about Supergirl,” Kara pausing because she still didn’t like the name, “...Supergirl seems to display similar powers to Superman, Speed, Strength, and Flight so far, no other powers have been used in her first rescue. Media outlets are saying she’s related to Superman due to the similar costume colors and S symbol. Superman says, no comment on their relationship.” She pushes her glasses up her nose and holds on tightly to her tablet and she realizes Cat Grant is slowly walking towards her with glasses firmly in her grip.

“You’re telling me, you’ve had an hour to come up with information on Supergirl and you’re telling me all you have been able to do it come up with a summary of what I already know!? I have a press conference starting shortly!!” Cat Grant was fuming, not breaking eye contact with Kara.

“I, uhh, well you see, it was umm…” Kara began to mumble.

“Kara also left out, she was able to secure a picture of Supergirl too, one of her connections in the helicopter was able to get us a photo of Supergirl and…” James began to say.

“Kiera! You got a photo of Supergirl, show me!” as she rips the paper from James hand, “this is amazing... it’s…” as Cat Grant looks down she sees a picture of the girl flying away from the airplane and a small blonde figure standing in the doorway in awe. Not only was the first picture of Supergirl, it was of Supergirl and her, “Well this is excellent work. You need to be forthcoming with your work Kiera!”

Just then Kara ears perked up and began to hear the familiar thud, was Miss Grant's heart racing seeing the picture?

Turning back to her desk, “Now James, what else were you going to tell me, it better not disappoint me.” James' chest puffed up and with a smile said, “You have an interview, this evening, with Supergirl. 8pm.”

James nor Kara ever imagined they would see Cat Grant’s stop like that. “Well, now that is delivery, I assume you can tell her my balcony will suffice. Kiera! Prep my balcony, water, candy, whiskey? I wonder if she drinks, can she even drink? Some light snacks, and prep some questions. I need to figure out what’s the mystery behind this girl. Chop Chop.”

Kara took a gulp and said, “Yes Miss Grant,” and began to walk out the office. She paused for a moment as she heard Miss Grant’s heart beat increase ever so slightly again.

***Hours into the evening***

The press conference went well and she boasted she would be forging a working relationship with the new superhero. But that was hours ago.

The time for the Supergirl interview had come and gone. What turned into 8pm, became 8:30 then 9, 9:15 to 10 pm and she was cursing by the time 11pm had rolled around and still no Supergirl.

Of course, Cat saw the news, her team was reporting it. There was a fire on the barge and Supergirl had come to the rescue. Not before damaging this massive ship and leaking oil into the ocean. You could see the panic in Supergirl’s face as she tried to fix the situation and move people away. This time she had on a suit that was even closer to Superman’s. Red Cape, blue top, bold “S” symbol, red skirt, black tights and red boots. Despite Cat’s dislike for Primary colors, the girl pulled it off well and this suit was an improvement to the first one she met the girl in.

But where was she?

Kara was kicking herself for the event at the barge. It should have been a simple fix but she pulled on the boat too strongly. She was drenched in oil by the time she got finished and after her 4th shower at the DEO the oil was almost gone.

After a stern talk from Alex and Hank and 2 debriefs later it was almost midnight and she was free to go. She knew it would be too late to speak to Miss Grant. She doesn’t wait for anyone. Why would she wait for her?

She was flying back home when she noticed she was flying close to CatCo. She leisurely flew past Miss Grant’s Balcony and she heard a glass drop.

There was Miss Grant. Entering the balcony with a glass of whiskey which was now on the floor. Kara picked up the slight increase of her heart beat and the gasp of air that escaped Miss Grant’s mouth. If only she could figure out Miss Grant, why did she want to figure out Cat Grant. Kara stopped midflight and hovered feet from the balcony.

There was Supergirl. She stopped waiting for her and just when she had given up she ran into her, well she flew by her?

Cat Grant began to look at the superhero, the new suit was far better than the first one. It accentuated her muscles and the cape draped behind her making her look like a painting against the skyline of National City. “oh, Supergirl,” she spoke just slightly above a whisper before coughing, “How nice of you to join me, finally.” Making sure to stress finally, Cat Grant does not wait, and here she was, caught waiting for Supergirl.

Kara glided closer down to the balcony, how many times would she run into Cat Grant.
