She'd been here before, she'd stood in this lift and waited for it to take her to the top floor, she'd been here then as a visitor, when she needed to see Lena or when she was dropping off a lunch for Kara she had made, she'd never felt nervous before but today was her first day as an employee.
Catco World Wide Media's food critic and 'celebrity' chef, Alex had made her fair share of jokes about that, it had helped ease her nerves.
As the doors opened there stood waiting, was Kara, she rushed forward and discarding of work professionalism she scooped (Y/n) up into a great big hug.
"I can't believe we are working together." Kara sang happily.
" We work at the DEO together. " (Y/n) whispered amused.
"Yeah but it's not the same." Kara shrugged letting her go, pulling her along to her desk. " Come on this will be your desk. "
Having a desk was a step down from her own office where she was effectively a God, but after what she had done, she had lost all right to be considered such a term anymore, it still haunted her, her weekly sessions with Dr. Dick were helping especially as he no longer seemed to focus on Alex, but the guilt lingered.
"I suppose as you are screwing the boss you have the best desk." (Y/n) joked.
Kara rolled her eyes. "I have my own office." She replied smugly.
" No way! I gotta do something I'm the bosses cousin that has to count for something. " (Y/n) mused out loud.
"Maybe she'll give you the roof." Kara laughed.
(Y/n) ignored Kara's awful attempt at humor. "Okay I binge watched seasons one, two and three of Carmilla as well as the movie yesterday, I'm pretty sure I have this journalist thing covered, Laura taught me a lot, so who do I expose and where do I dig into an Anglerfish pit, but I mean Natasha is hot and everything but I don't need a brooding vampire hanging around all jealous, I have Alex for that." (Y/n) smiled enthusiastically.
Kara quirked up an eyebrow. "That's my job, you get paid to eat, so lucky you get paid to do what I love."
" Well, this does mean I win the house of El war we have going on, hah Kara I win. " (Y/n) teased her cousin a big smile covering their faces as they laughed loudly, behind them the elevator shot open making them turn around, it was inhabited by only one person, between her hands she nervously clenched a large coffee cup, a big stain marred her green dress, when her brown eyes landed on the two women watching her she seemed to leap into the air without actually leaving the ground.
She let out a loud gasp.
"Are you okay?" (Y/n) asked curiously.
She took a deep breath steadying herself. "Oh my God, it's you!" Her eyes glued now to Kara, nervous her voice shook slightly.
Kara and (Y/n) exchanged glances.
"Err yeah, it's me," Kara replied.
The woman made her way out of the elevator slipping on her high heel, that wasn't even that high, she juggled the coffee cup that flew up into the air but landed back into her grasping hands.
"Wow." (Y/n) whispered.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." The new woman assured them righting her hair that had fallen over her face messily stopping her from seeing well. "This is yours." She pushed forward handing Kara the cup of well-shaken coffee.
(Y/n) watched as Kara took the cup, pouting she had no one to get her a drink, wasn't she the 'celebrity '?
"I'm sorry, it's my first day, I'm Nia, it's a Latte just the way you like it, but it's probably too cold now, I'm sorry." She sighed sadly.
