JAMES APARTMENT

The alarm is going off while Grace opens her eyes and cuddles up against her pillow. She raises her arm and smashes the clock

She walks into the kitchen where Dean is cooking eggs and bacon on the stove, she pours herself a cup of coffee and sits down at the counter.

She notices a pink box on the counter top

Grace: If I x ray that box, will I see a cruller?

Dean: No you will not cause they were out.

Grace groans

Dean: But I got you the powdered ones.

Grace opens the box

Grace: An offering of donuts. Whatever could you want from me?

She reaches inside and takes one of the donuts.

Dean: I thought you might need the extra sugar kick before........you know, Kara comes back to work.

Grace looks up at him, a speck of donut powder on her chin, she licks it off

Grace: She's not coming back and I'm giving her what she wants.

She grabs three more donuts and the cup and stands up, walking towards the living room

Dean: Grace, she knows you were only doing........Okay? Stephen didn't have a damn choice.

Grace: All she sees when she looks at me is a killer.

Dean: But soldiers do when they have to. And Stephen had to.

They sit down across from each other at the small dining table.

Grace: She had a chance to bring Astra back and.........she'll never forgive me for taking away that chance. She won't ever forgive me.

Dean stands up and runs his hand through his hair.

Grace: I love working with Kara........but maybe it's time for me to be my own superhero. Maybe Glitch and Supergirl just wasn't meant to be.

Hovering outside the apartment in the air, a lone tear rolls down Kara's cheek, she wipes away before whooshing through the air flying away.

CATCO

Grace is sitting at her desk typing away at her computer while her and Kara glances over at each other whenever the other one isn't looking.

DEO

Grace and Dean are sparring with each other in the training room. She punches him hard in the face making him roll over on the ground and back up to his feet.

He wipes his nose and cocks his arms raising them up. He lunges at her but she lands a hard kick to his stomach then spins around in slow motion kicking him in the side.

She throws a punch, Dean ducks underneath her strike. He moves to the side dodging her blows and ducks under another kick.

She spins around landing a hard punch, one that sends him flying off the platform, Grace takes a running leap and throws a punch but he ducks under and moves to the side and pins her against the wall, she taps him on the arm

Dean: As effective as kicking and punching is, next time you're pissed off about something, let's have coffee.

Grace: I'm not angry. I'm sad. I miss having Kara here. I miss flying with her right beside me.

Dean: Your choice, Grace.

Grace: But it's not her choice. It's mine. When I decided to let her believe that I killed Astra and not Stephen.
