Kara and Lena have some alone time at Catco
Kara grunted in frustration after Lena walked away, mumbling under her breath as she grabbed her purse and flung it over her shoulder.
It had only been a week since Lena took over Catco but boy was she hard on Kara.
She grumbled again as she slammed the button for the elevator as she thought back about her new assignment.
Lena had found a source that was behind drug and human trafficking and instead of Lena giving the story to Kara she gave it to some random know-it-all reporter that was only interested in kissing ass.
She huffed as she 'gently' pushed the button again waiting for the elevator to come and take her to her story of a dog having rescued a kitten.
Now normally Kara would be ecstatic to write about something as adorable as that but she couldn't shake the feeling that Lena just didnt trust her enough to write about something as meaningful as that.
"Oh come on!" She grunted out as the elevator stopped three floors below her.
"In a hurry?" Lena asked as she came to stand beside her, wearing her open coat over her tight fitting black skirt and red blouse.
"No ma'am just really wanting to write a lame fluff piece about animals!" she said maybe a little bit more cold and harsh than intended.
Lena looked hurt at her cold remark but quickly swallowed it down and put on her stoic mask "well I'm sorry your job feels like such a burden to you" she replied as equally cold.
A sigh was the only idication that Kara had heard Lena "oh screw this!" she exclaimed as she turned around and walking to the private elevator right as the 'ding' announced the arrival of the elevator.
"Kara!" no response so Lena sighed and followed her, jogging to catch up to Kara at the private elevator.
Kara glanced sideways with a scowl when she noticed Lena "I'm going okay! You don't have to check up on me to see if I'm doing my job to your liking!"
Lena's jaw tensed up but said nothing, both stepping into the elevator, still remaining silent and the tension building.
Lena slammed the emergency stop of the elevator and turned to Kara with her arms crossed in front of her chest "talk. Now!" she demanded.
"You do realize I can easily break out of here and fly away right?" Lena scoffed and said "go ahead, but this time you're paying for the damages to the roof. I had a bad enough time trying to explain the last incident"
Kara grimaced and let out a soft, genuine "sorry about that" but Lena waved her apology away.
"Don't worry about that. Kara whats going on? Why did you force me to this tactic to get you to talk to me?" no response came from the young reporter except for a tensing jaw muscle and the soft grinding of teeth "Kara. Please"
"Why don't you trust me?" Kara asked, a small bit of a waver to her voice at the end.
"Kara what are you-" but Kara stopped her by continuing "you gave that- that- jerkfaceguy the big story while putting me on some- some fluff piece about a darn dog!"
Lena's eyes grew wide as Kara went on with her rant "you know I have sources he can never have. You know that I could write a more detailed piece than he ever could" Lena opened her mouth to stop the ranting girl but her tries were in vain as Kara rolled on like a locomotive unable to break.
"How could you do that? You made me invalid in the middle of all those people. I've written for Slavers Moon, they know I can handle my own and you just took that away from me! You put me on a- a- dumb dog that- that only did what any caring mamal would do! Its not important, its not why I wanted to become a reporter, Lena!"
