Hidden Truth

Chapter 11

Cat had just finished reading the chapter of the Harry Potter book.

"One more chapter please mom." Carter begged.

"Not tonight Carter your teacher is coming tomorrow." Cat reminded the boy. She planted a kiss on his forehead. "Good night."

"Good night, love you." Carter said.

"Love you too." Cat walked out closing the door to her son's room. Cat walked into her room and noticed it was a little colder. She looked over to the balcony and noticed that the door was open. Cat walk to the balcony and saw no one. She walked back in and closed the door behind her making sure to lock it. She went to grab her laptop but on top of it there was a letter with her name neatly written. She'd recognize this writing anywhere it was Kara's. Quickly Cat opened the letter. And read it.

Dear Catherine
I've written this letter a million yet every time I write it the words don't seem to fit together correctly. I write with one objective in mind to deliver a truth, a hidden truth, that I so badly wanted to keep hidden but it came to my attention that you deserved the truth. There's no easy way to put this even if it's in a letter. So I guess here it goes. When you asked about my daughter's father I told you he wasn't in the picture and that's true because but child's father isn't a father but a mother. What I'm trying to say is she's yours, you are her other parent. I just had to tell you. I'm not asking you for anything if that's what you think like I said you had a right to know.
Love Kara Danvers

Cat quickly jumped out of her bed. She quickly read the letter again to make sure she hadn't misread it. Cat grabbed her laptop and put it in a bag along with the letter. She walked to Carter's room and to her surprise he was still awake.

"Everything okay mom?" The boy asked concerned.

"Yes but we have to go back to National City." Carter knew not to question his mother. "Just grab a sweater and we're off." Carter did as he was told and took ahold of his mom's hand. Cat had gotten a private jet she needed to get to National City if what Kara had written was true. Once on the jet the anger began to grow. If it was all true she had missed three months of her child's life. Three months that she'll never get to see. What's her name? Cat asked herself she had left in such a hurry she never bothered to ask. All she knew was that Kara had a beautiful baby girl.

Cat's job here was done Kara was awake happily hold her daughter. Cat glanced back one more time at the now recovered hero and wanted out.

"Miss Grant!" Yelled a voice from behind her.

"Agent Danvers what can I do for you?" Cat asked trying not to cry in front of the woman.

"Why are you leaving now?" Alex went straight to the point.

"Because my job here is done." Cat said. "I had an obligation as her boss to make sure she's okay now that she is I can get back to my very busy life." Cat didn't know if the last sentence was to convince Alex or herself.

"Bullshit!" Alex stated.

"Excuse me?"

"Bullshit!"Alex repeated. "I can see it in your eyes you love her. I get it, it can be scary to tell the person you love but if you don't tell them they will always be a what if."

"Miss Danvers I don't think you understand. I love her, all of her. Not just Kara Danvers and supergirl but also the girl she was before this planet. The real her. However I will never tell her she's young and has a great future ahead of her. Dating me means being under constant watch of the world because after all I am The Queen of All Media." Cat couldn't continue with the conversation and left.

The jet had landed and Cat woke up Carter. Her chauffeur had already arrived along with Carter's babysitter.
"I'll see you in a bit Carter." Cat said kissing her son goodbye. It was early and the boy was still tired.
