Super Girl--Detected

Episode 1:Detected

"In this journey of life, you will meet people who will make you feel alive!"

― Avijeet Das

Cat Grant was sitting at her desk, looking out over the city she had been calling home for almost ten years. It seemed like a lifetime ago that she was Perry White's assistant, now she oversaw a media empire that encompassed print, video, and the internet. She sighed in contentment as she watched a red and blue blur speed by her window. She cut her eyes to the desk right outside the glass walls, lips turning up as she thought to herself, 'oh Kara, do be careful.'

She turned to begin her workday and smiled largely as one of her favorite faces appeared on her cell phone screen. She tapped the icon to place the call on speaker and her smile grew even brighter as Lena's soft lovely voice filled her office.

"Good morning, Cat? How is everything going?" Lena asked, smiling, as she sipped her coffee, flipping a small device around in her hand.

"You are very chipper this morning, Lena, I assume you read Clark's interview?" Cat asked as she lifted the tea her new assistant had brought in, sipping the hot liquid slowly.

"I also got my new prototype working and the article was very fair, but where was Ms. Danvers byline?" Lena asked, disappointment evident in her voice, "she was there, why didn't she get any credit."

"Lena Luthor, are you okay? You are defending a member of the press?" Cat raised an eyebrow, staring at her phone, thoroughly surprised. "What would your mother think?"

"What? NO! I mean--well, she asked--oh, damn," Lena sputtered. She took a deep breath, "she listened to me, Cat."

Cat's expression softened instantly, of course, Kara would listen, between her almost annoyingly happy personality and her optimism, Kara would be the only person on Earth to accept Lena Luthor, the sister of the most famous psychopath on the planet. "I'll send her around for an interview, just you and her, no other reporters. Keep in mind though, you will be her first subject, and be prepared to be Kara'd." Cat could picture the look on Lena's face as she continued, "I'll set it up for this afternoon, after lunch."

Lena scrunched her face up, but didn't question Cat like she wanted too, "bye, Cat, and thank you." As she hung up, she whispered out loud, "what does she mean, Kara'd?"

Kara knocked on Cat's door, peeking inside and asking, "you wanted to see me, Ms. Grant."

"Ah, Kara, come in," Cat responded as she waved her in and moved to meet her in the middle of the room, taking a spot in front of one of her couches and directing Kara to the other.

Kara sat slowly, wiping her hands on her olive-colored slacks and wondering to herself, how this woman succeeded in making her so nervous.

The same thought was going through Cat's head as she watched the hero sit, her nerves clearly visible in her blue eyes. "Kara, relax please."

Kara took a deep breath, releasing it slowly with a soft sigh, "Sorry."

Smiling, Cat shook her head, "It's okay, Kara. I need you to do me a favor, Lena Luthor wants to show off some new device she has invented and she asked if you would interview her for CatCo. Just you and her, no other reporters."

"What?" Kara croaked, "why me? Wouldn't she prefer ano-- another reporter? I don't have the right experience for this, Ms. Grant. I could really mess this up."

"Kara!" Cat snapped. She took a deep calming breath as she reached across the table, hand outstretched. She smiled softly as Kara took her hand, "you made quite an impression on Lena, and she asked for you specifically because you listened to her."
