"I knew that any party you threw would end in a disaster. Just look at you, Ms.Grant." Supergirl says airily, floating a few feet above Cat's head. The older (?) woman is dripping wet in a ballgown. Supergirl has the gall to smirk at the Queen of All Media, and to be honest, she's probably the only woman in the world who can get away with that.
"I should probably go ahead and just start hiring you as a bouncer for all of them in advance." Cat says dismissively. She's doing her best to play off the last vestiges of fear left by Livewire's attack.
"I could probably use the pay raise." Supergirl laughs before realizing that Cat is wet and shivering in the cold that doesn't affect her. "I'm sorry. I forget sometimes that these things bother you humans."
Red boots hit the ground lightly and the young (?) hero unclips an equally red cape from her shoulders and drapes it around Cat's shoulders. Supergirl cocks her head to one side in a way that distinctly reminds Cat of her assistant, Kara. She had lost track of the girl in the commotion.
"Everyone has been escorted to safety now. All of your guests and staff are safe now, and will be sent home after a cursory medical evaluation. I can jump that line and clear you myself if you like." Supergirl offers, smiling proudly. Cat doesn't understand how the heroine isn't trembling in her boots after going through something that terrifying.
"Please do. How are you okay right now? I don't get you." Cat questions, pulling the red material more tightly around her.
Supergirl studies her hard and Cat can detect a subtle shift in her eyes. She knows that the hero is doing something or other with them.
"I have people relying on me to lead, just like you do. I don't have the luxury of not being okay. When people are in danger I can't think about the 'what if's' I only act." Supergirl's voice i heavy with that burden that she bears. "You check out okay, but I'm worried about your body temperature. I could take you home?"
Cat wonders for a second at why the hero is paying such special attention to her of all people, but dismisses it as exhaustion and accepts the gift as the favor that it is. Maybe Supergirl was just being the heroine that she is. Cat nods in response and waits. Supergirl wraps the cape more securely around the woman that doesn't know she's her boss. She lifts Cat underneath the knees bridal style, almost lovingly.
Not wanting to admit her near paralyzing fear of heights, Cat's arms clench a bit more tightly around Supergirl's neck. Cat's terrified, but as they rise, she's never felt more safe in her life. Supergirl's own body heat is warming Cat as well. The girl is probably five or six degrees more warm than a human. Cat finds herself snuggling in closer.
"Thank you for flying Supergirl Air. Please stay as still as possible for your own safety and hold on tight. This has been your Captain speaking, please enjoy your ride." Cat's torn between a snarky comment and laughter. She settles in the middle on a grunt of disgust. Supergirl laughs adorably and Cat feels the corners of her own lips turn up. Then suddenly they are zooming through the air and Cat is yelping in surprise. Supergirl laughs even more hard at that.
Cat decides that as soon as her feet are on solid ground to give the blonde heroine a piece of her mind. The sound is oddly comforting though. The deep rumble reverberates through Kara's chest and into Cat's body. It doesn't take half as long to reach Cat's home as she had expected. Cat is placed gently onto her feet, a strong and familiar hand on her shoulder to steady her.
"What do you want, Agent Danvers? I'm taking Ms.Grant home." the hero growls into an earwig that Cat hadn't noticed before.
"It's fine. I'll be back to debrief later, but I'm tired. I might not make it all of the way to base and there are hours to sun up, yet. Do you remember the last crash landing? Fine. Be there in a mo."
