Point me home

6

Kara is sitting in her office, notes everywhere she's got deadline after deadline to finish and she wants to finish. Why? Because Lucy Lane is taking her put tonight and it's already 3pm that means she has a hour to finish everything before having time to go home and get ready for her date.

Thankfully Alex and Maggie are looking after Cameron tonight and taking him to laser quest (something both adults want to do but need a child as an excuse).

It's 4:30 and she's running late, Kara wanted to be home 30 minutes ago but that doesn't seem possible. 

Ms Grant stormed into her office calling her Kira and told her that she has to go to L-Corp and do a cover on her ex wives latest technology. She asked if someone else could do it and Cat shook her head saying 'A reporter doesn't get to chose the news they cover, the news choses them' .

So this is where Kara is now, in the elevator going up to the top floor of L-Corp with notebook in hand and a frown on her face.

Hopefully this doesn't take too long.

She was wrong, god she was so wrong Lena's 4 o'clock meeting was running late and it was now 4:45pm and Kara was still sitting outside the office with her phone out scrolling through texts from Alex and a message from Lucy asking if tonight is still going ahead and Kara could only message back that work was running late but she should be there on time.

 Finally at 4:55pm Lena comes out her office with an older man looking rather pissed off "It was lovely to work with you Mr. Ewean I'll have my assistant send over files of projects we could work on together. Thankyou, have a good evening sir" she says and shakes the mans hand. 

Running a hand through her hair and taking a breath Lena smiles at Kara, "Miss Danvers this way" she smiles slightly and Kara's heart hurts slightly from hearing Lena calling her Danvers after she had Luthor after her name for so long.

With a smile and a small breath Kara gets up and a sudden wave of fatigue washes over her. Taking a moment she composes herself and walk in.

"You're trying to cure cancer?" Kara asks shocked, she knew Lena was smart anyone with a brain can see that but this was huge.

"Yes" she laughs " I'm working with a group of doctors and scientists at one of the Luthor hospitals in downtown National City. And we've started to develop a device that'll bring us a step closer in curing cancer." Lena talks with so much excitement her eyes are sparkling and it makes Kara smile slightly at how much Lena loves her work but then Kara remembers. Her work yes it causes so much good but it made her lose so much.

"But there is so many different types of cancers are you just looking at specific cancers at the moment then furthering onto others?" Kara asks writing down questions wondering where she will go with this and how she will present this to the editing branch at work.

"I know there are many different types of cancer and there's some that are more researched than others, and some are rare and some are more seen but what our aim is to do is to cure everyone. However we have to start from a somewhere we can't start working on something for hundreds of different types if we don't have a pin pointed place." Lena says pushing her glaces on her face.

After answering and asking question it's 5:30pm and now the two woman have gotten off track talking about Cameron and how his school is going, and when Lena will be able to have him next.

"Lena, why did you ask for me to do this?" Lena opens her mouth for a second 
"I uh I don't know what you...I didn't" she says and Kara shakes her head "Don't lie to me, I heard Cat's assistant talking about how much money you offered to pay for this cover to be done by me" and Lena closes her eyes and sighs.

Lena thinks about telling the truth, she knows she should but she can't bring herself to do it.

"I trust you, I love your work, you honestly are the best writer at that company and I want the best. Where's the harm in that Kara, I want the best for the best and I'm the best and so are you. Aim high or don't aim at all."

Kara says nothing but looks at Lena's desk and see's the pictures there and her breath gets caught in her throat and tears well up in her eyes.
"Is that all Miss Luthor" and Lena almost flinches at the sudden colder more professional tone "Yes, yes it is Miss Danvers" she says and before Lena can get up Kara is out the building.

Once in her car Kara starts to cry. She wipes her eyes and looks at the time and see's its 6pm and she only has a hour until Lucy picks her up.

"Shit" she says before starting the car and driving back to her house as quickly as she can.

Kara is standing talking to Cameron on the phone saying goodnight o him because she won't be available to speak later.

"You beat Alex, wait really? Good job buddy, maybe you should be an agent" she says and her heart warms when she hears his laugh.

"I miss you Mama,  but I'm having fun. I'm going to shower and then were going to watch a film then I'm off to bed but I think they'll let me stay up later" He says and Kara can hear Alex shouting 'No your not mister/ and Kara laughs "No Cam go to bed when you're told and I miss you too, but I have to say thankyou for being a good little man and I'll pick you up from school tomorrow yeah?" Kara says putting her boots on.

"Yeah, I love you Mama, have a good night, have fun on your date" he says the last part with a disgusted voice.

"I love you too Cam, goodnight" She says and she hears as Alex takes the phone and before Kara can say anything Alex is talking.

"He's jealous you're going out tonight don't think anything off it, he's not used to sharing you, it's okay. Now are you wearing the blue dress with the knee high boots with the black scarf and the gold earing?" and Kara laughs.

"Yeah I am, I think it's a bit short but you said it looked good so here I am" Alex can hear the nervousness in her voice and she walks away from Maggie and Cameron who are talking loudly shouting at the TV.

"Kara you're beautiful, you're smart and you're allowed to move on. Go and have fun, and we all know how long Lucy has liked you so let her treat you right, have fun and let the pretty girl kiss you" Kara smiles and the door bell goes off.

"She's here. I gotta go. I love you Alex, thankyou, say goodnight to my boy and Maggie for me. Have a goodnight." After alex replies with a 'love you' Kara hangs up and takes a deep breath. She's not feeling to hungry but that's just the nerves. 

She opens the door and is met by Lucy who's got her hair curly and dark makeup and a black skirt thats hugging her hips and has a slit up the side and a dark green sparkling blouse.

"Wow you look beautiful" they says at the same time and Kara blushes and Lucy smirks.

"Let's get going" Lucy smiles holding her hand out "Yes, lets go" Kara says taking Lucy's hand tightly.
