Hard Promise To Keep

Chapter 1

Ever since Cat bought back CatCo from Lena Luthor, her life had been going great...

She and Kara had been growing closer and closer by the minute, she and Adam had bonded, and CatCo's stocks quadrupled.

There was only one issue... The feelings she ran away from three years before, came back like a gut punch from a sumo wrestler the second Kara welcomed her back, and she was once again, madly in love with a woman twenty years her junior.

She had never planned to buy back CatCo... In fact, she had planned on running for Congress, and then President, but when she saw Kara get pummeled to the ground by that Worldkiller a year ago, her plans changed.

Cat had been continuously following Kara's career. Wherever she went, she always made it a point to check in on Kara's recent articles... And she was quite impressed with the work she was doing, so impressed in fact, that she hadn't been even slightly surprised when the news came out that Kara had replaced as his successor.

She always felt a twinge of guilt for abandoning Kara, had even felt jealousy when she was writing articles about another person (i.e. Lena Luthor), but one thing persisted to bother her over everything else; one thing consumed her wherever she went... longing.

So, when she saw Kara drop thirty stories and not stand up afterward, her longing, mixed with terror, overwhelmed her, and she realized that she belonged in National City... belonged right next to Kara... belonged to Kara... and she came home... hoping that she could keep her feelings at bay.

But she failed...

Kara Danvers was the only person on the planet that could turn cold, steely, no-nonsense Cat Grant into a puddle of lovestruck goo... and she successfully did it daily.

When Vat came back, the first person that greeted her was Kara. They sat, and talked, and it was all Cat could do to stop her heart from pounding out of her chest.

They started bumping into each other at random intervals, and then eventually started having lunch together weekly, then daily. That turned into Kara inviting her to her game nights, and Cat's feelings for Kara only grew stronger by the minute.

She tried to stay away, tried to hide them all, but one look in Kara's beautiful sea blue eyes was enough to get Cat to agree to anything.

It wasn't fair the hold Kara had on her, but Cat loved every minute of it.

She was in her office writing up her weekly report on the office happenings when there was a familiar knock on her door.

She hated herself for the way her heart skipped a beat as she rose her head and offered Kara a welcoming smile.

Klara offered Cat a smile in return and walked in. "I just wanted to know if we were still on for donuts? I bought a whole dozen!"

Cat fought back a giggle and forced a façade of nonchalance on her face... she may be lovestruck, but she was also Cat Grant. "Of course," She chirped as she placed her glasses on her desk. "Let's sit on the balcony."

Kara nodded with a smile on her face. "I got your favorite!" Kara announced joyfully as she walked towards the balcony doors. "I hope they're still your favorite at least... Raspberry filled?"

Cat smiled, her heart melting at the fact that Kara remembered her favorite donut, and her soul yearning to kiss Kara senselessly. "They're most certainly still my favorite." She replied/

Kara's beaming smile set Cat's body alight with longing to hold the Kryptonian close. But she kept her resolve. She wasn't what Kara wanted. Kara saw her as a mentor, perhaps even as a motherly influence... but not as a romantic interest.
