POST REVEAL

Caffeine and Sugar

Loud knocks sounded on Kara's door,

"What the h-" Kara woke up slowly and sat on her bed. She had this weird taste in her mouth.

Eww...

"I'm going to kick this door in I swear!" she heard her sister from outside,

"No! Don't break it! I'm coming, wait!" Kara almost fell out of her bed, rushing to the door.

"What are you doing here so early?" Kara asked,

"Early?! It's almost 11 am! You weren't picking up my calls, I was worried" Alex said

"11 am?! Oh my God, I am late!" Kara freaked out

"Late for what?" Alex was amused.

Kara used her super-speed to get ready,

"My deadline is today! The article... crap!" she ate the first thing she found in the fridge.

"Why did you wake up so late?" Alex set down on Kara's dining table chair.

"I didn't sleep well..." Kara stopped running around the house.

"It is it because of-"

"Lena" Kara grabbed her bag, "I was thinking about her all night and fell asleep late..." she took her coat.

"Kara just relax," Alex said quietly

"No, I can't, have I have too much on my plate right now" she put on the coat

"Just take a deep breath" Alex tried to come her down,

"I've got to be focused" Kara explained. She was about to get out,

"Kara, wait!" Alex said

"Alex, I told you I'm late," Kara said once more,

"Believe me, you don't want to show up to work like this" she started to laugh,

"What?? Alex, what's wrong??" Kara was out of her mind,

"I don't think the dressing code at Catco has anything against bathrobes but still..."

Kara looked down and saw that she was wearing her pale blue bathrobe instead of her coat,

"Oh Rao"

\\one second later at Catco\\

"Danvers! Where have you been?!" Snapper was furious

"I'm so sorry!" Kara held her notebook and pen is so tight, she was going to break them.

"Do you have it, Danvers?" He didn't come down,

"Have what?" asked the confused reporter. That lack of sleep and whole 'Lena issue' has really gotten into her. So much that she has forgotten about the article. Obsidian North's one.

"The piece Danvers! I have an article to hand in in an hour! Do you have the piece about Luthor?!" He punched on the desk,

"No I- I had some trouble getting it... I'm going through a lot right now..." she tried to explain.

Snapper turned red, "is it because of Olsen?" he asked, "I know you two were close"

"What? No! James and I are coworkers, friends! Nothing more" Kara was disgusted

"You WERE coworkers. He left and I have a new boss that needs that new article! Danvers, you screwed this up! I don't have any more time to give you! I'll give the assignment to your trainee. YOU ARE SUSPENDED!" he yelled and stormed out of the office.

"You can't do that!" she ran after him

"Yeah? Watch me" he kept walking

"I'll get it, okay? Please!" she didn't give up,

"Go home, Danvers. Solve your love issues" he fasten his walking.

"I don't have any-" she stopped walking and stood there, angry and confused.

Kara was so angry and frustrated. She didn't have any love issues to solve.

She didn't. She didn't.

Just Lena.

"Wow... You look-" a familiar voice pulled her out of her thoughts,

"Brainy!" she turned around, "what are you doing here?"

"I came to bring Nia this drink made of caffeine and sugar. I believe you call it coffee" he looked strangely at the cup.

"Oh..." Kara wasn't sure how to react,

"Is everything okay?" he asked her,

"Yes, yes, everything is fine" Kara responded. Brainy knew she was lying.

"You better give it to her before it gets cold," she added breezily and stabilized her glasses.

"Yes, of course," he said and hurried to find Nia.

Kara opened her phone and placed it next to her ear,

"Kara" J'ohn answered

"J'ohn, I know you just came back to help the DEO for a while and I don't want to be a burden..."

"Whatever you need Kara," he said shortly,

"Are you at the DEO right now?" she asked

"Yes"

"Do you have something that I can do? I can use a distraction"

"Say no more," he responded, and Kara could literally feel him, smiling,

"I'll be there," Kara said, and just like that, disappeared as she was never there.
