Hidden Truth

Chapter 3

Catco had been closed for a week due to everything that went down and Kara had been avoiding Lucy since she woke up at the DEO knowing very well that Lucy was going to give her hell about the little stunt she pulled. Miss Grant had asked Kara for a natural green tea drink instead of coffee this morning which wasn't normal for Cat Grant, also for a juice box and some cookies. Kara quickly walked in and saw that Miss Grant wasn't alone. Carter was with her and so was Lucy.

"Good morning Miss Grant, Lucy." Kara greeted the adults first handing the tea to her boss.

"Kara!" Shouted the boy as he ran to hug her. Immediately Kara wrapped her arms around the boy.

"Hi buddy. Let's go bug Winn while your mom and Miss Lane talk." Carter was the perfect excuse for Kara to avoid Lucy's rage. Winn and Carter played with Winn's actions figures while Kara went to get a few photos from James. When she got back to Miss Grant's office Lucy was gone. Kara sighed of relief. She knew very well she could avoid Lucy for a little while longer.

"Keira!" Kara quickly walked into her boss's office. "Don't speak." Cat ordered. "Why do I have to find out from a Lane that my assistant was extremely ill and almost dead the day you went for lunch and never came back?" Really Lucy, tell my boss a lie. Kara thought. It was a smart move but one she could very well get out of. Yes it was true she nearly died but it wasn't due to an illness

"Miss Grant I wasn't ill." Kara said calmly. "I had to leave to the hospital because my cousins wife went into labor and he was out of town and he asked me to be with her at the hospital. I apologize if I coast any trouble." Kara wasn't completely lying Clark had called her to give her the news that Lois gave birth to a baby girl. Satisfied with what she herd Miss Grant got back to work. As she work calmly she looked out to find Kara and was surprised to see the girl wasn't alone. A short hair woman was standing in front of Kara. She handed Kara a bag and out of that bag Kara took out a donut. Cat couldn't help but notice how Kara looked at the woman with admiration and love. Before finishing the greasy food in her hand Kara offered some to the woman and she gladly took some them Kara finished the rest. The woman pulled Kara into a hug and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. The woman looked familiar to Cat but she couldn't  remember from where. Cat boiled with anger and jealousy of how freely someone touched her Kara.

"Keira!" She yelled. Kara walked into the office with a Sunny Danvers smile on her face. "Care to explain why you so freely let your girlfriend feel you up in front of my whole office personas."

"Miss Grant are you jealous?" Kara knew that Cat was jealous but she needed to hear the woman say it.

"Don't be ridiculous Kiera. Why would I be jealous of something I've already had, she's just getting my left overs." Cat didn't mean to sound so upset but she did. Her words made Kara feel like if they had stabbed her with kryptonite. Cat's office door opened and in the door stood the woman that made her blood boil.

"Come on baby sis I don't got all day. I need to be back at base in and hour." Alex said not realizing she walked into a hostile environment. Cat looked down realizing she had said hurtful words out of anger to hurt Kara when the woman she was jealous of was Kara's sister.

"Yeah sorry Alex just had to let Miss Grant know. Would you like me to pick you anything up Miss Grant?" Cat was shocked at how quickly the younger woman composed herself. If she hadn't seen the tears herself she wouldn't be able to tell if she had just walked in that Kara had cried.

"No I will be fine." Cat said. "Before you go did you send out the email invitations and proofread the articles I send to you?"

"It's all done." Kara had finished her duties pretty quick.
