Dove Too Deep

Chapter 12

Cat rushed to her assistant's desk who had a heartbroken expression on her face. "Miss Tessmacher, I think it's time we put our differences aside. I wasn't there for Kara the last time she needed me, but this time I refuse to abandon her. Obviously, I will stay within my boundaries and respect your relationship no matter how terribly it pains me to do so, but at this moment we are both desperately needed by the woman we love and I say it's about high time we get to her."

Eve nodded her head vigorously as a tear slid down her face. "Anything for Kara." She said tremulously.

Cat smiled and nodded in approval. If she couldn't have Kara, at least someone that deserved the Kryptonian had her. "Then I say it's high time we call the president and get into that secret organization, don't you think?"

Eve looked utterly shocked by the older woman's olive branch of friendliness but nodded and stood from her desk. "Let's be there for Kara." She said. "Together."

Cat nodded and gestured toward her private elevator as she got her phone out of her purse. Eve's eyes widened. "Really? That's... No one besides you and Kara has ever been allowed to ride it when you're in charge."

"We have a mission, Miss Tessmacher, and that mission currently makes us equals

As Cat entered the elevator, she pulled out her phone and dialed Olivia's number. After three rings the Commander and Chief picked up her cellphone. "KitKat, I'm going to tell you right now that I can not and will not grant you access to Supergirl if she doesn't want to have visitors. I'm not heartless, and she can beat my ass any day of the week if I cross her in the first place." The woman said sternly.

Cat scoffed. "I don't want that; I just want entrance to the D.E.O for myself and Supergirl's girlfriend so that I can show her that I am genuine about being there for her. I will sit outside her room and wait for her if that's what she prefers, but I want her to know that I-" She paused herself and looked at Miss Tessmacher's distraught expression. "that we are there for her." She corrected.

"You're with the girlfriend?" Olivia asked with a slight tone of approval. "You've grown a lot in the past few months, Cat. I will make the calls, but you are not to bother Supergirl unless she specifically asks for you. Do you understand?"

Cat nodded into the phone. "Yes. Thank you, Livvy. You have no idea how much this means to me."

Olivia chuckled. "Of course, I do. Kara Danvers and her alter ego were all you were willing to talk about during your run as White House Press Secretary."

Cat growled, "And all you could talk about was how you were butthurt that she saved me instead of you when Rhea shot down Air Force One. We both have annoying habits, don't we Livvy?"

"Well, why do you think she chose to save you over the president, Cat? Ponder on that, because you'd think that'd be terrible for her image."

The CEO didn't want to think about what Olivia was insinuating because all it would do was lead her to hope that Kara's past actions meant more than they actually had. "Olivia your ability to make a mountain out of a molehill is incredibly unsettling. You should really see a psychiatrist to make sure you're mentally stable enough to run this country."

There was a sigh on the other end of the phone. "Catherine Grant, your topic diversion skills are on a professional level, but still ridiculous, cowardly, and annoying. I will make the calls for you to be granted access to the D.E.O. However, you need to get your head out of your ass and realize that you may not now, but once upon a time, you did have Kara's affections; whether she realized it or not. Now, I have to go; I do have a country to run after all."
