"Angela!" Cat yells.

"Her name is Amelia," Supergirl says entering Cat's office from the balcony.

"I know what her name is, I just don't care...yet," Cat snaps lightly.

"I just finished the photo shoot with James, I think you'll be pleased," Supergirl states standing confidently to the side of Cat's desk.

Cat looks up from her computer and stares at the hero. The sun setting behind her casts a halo around her hair and the media mogul can't help but gasp at the sight.

"Why don't you make yourself comfortable, Supergirl, and I'll be right out, I just need to finish this," Cat says purposely not looking up again.

Supergirl shrugs and instead walks around Cat's office. It's just after hours, the bullpen is empty. Curious, she uses her super powers to locate the missing assistant and finds her hiding in the bathroom giving herself a pep talk.

"You've upset her, she's hiding in the bathroom," Supergirl remarks turning around with a flip of her cape.

"Not the first time, probably not the last time," Cat replies not paying attention until the dramatic cape flip startles her and she looks up, mouth open. "Stop doing that, you know that it's... it's distracting," she says forcing herself to return her eyes to her computer screen.

Supergirl suppresses a smile. She knows exactly what she's doing. She can hear Cat's heart pounding out of her chest. Her pulse rate high, her breath hitching whenever she catches a glimpse of the hero striding around the room.

"I thought that we agreed that you would be nicer to her," Supergirl reminds her taking full advantage of the situation, after all, she's here in Cat's office at Cat's request.

"I believe that I agreed to try to be nicer and I have been. I've dialed the sarcasm back to almost a five," Cat quips, a small smile twitching across her lips.

Supergirl stares at the Queen of Media unimpressed.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right back," Cat says standing up and smoothing her skirt down before striding out of the room.

Supergirl smirks, it's not that Kara couldn't get Cat to do the same thing, she could, but the hero has to admit that it's a bit more fun to do it as Supergirl.

Cat returns a few minutes later and Supergirl is sitting on her sofa with two glasses of scotch sitting on the table in front of her.

Pausing a moment to watch her assistant quickly grab her things and bolt for the elevator, Cat hesitates and asks, "Wouldn't you prefer to sit outside?"

"Not this time," Supergirl replies picking up both glasses and handing one to Cat.

Cat sits down carefully beside her, taking a sip of the drink. Willing herself to wait for the hero to say what she needs to say before the interview can begin.

"Kara edits the interview and has full control over the tone and content," Supergirl replies, stating her ground rules. After the first interview debacle, the hero always takes a moment to set down ground rules with Cat.

"It's my story, my byline, you can't expect me to let her change my tone," Cat argues.

"Then you will agree to use a less snarky tone in this story," Supergirl counters.

"I can always try," Cat replies, not wanting to commit until she hears more of the story.

"Krypto is a symbol of everything good about my childhood on Krypton. Cat, when I look at him, he makes my heart sing," the hero confesses, as a breathtaking smile explodes across her face.

"Uh... well, I see," Cat stammers a bit uncomfortable with this type of revelation, "T-then you are obviously expecting this to be a soft feel good piece," she adds.

"Can you write one of those?" Supergirl questions playfully.

"It's been a while, but I'm sure that it will come back to me," Cat says sinking back into the couch and relaxing a bit.

Cat's phone buzzes on her desk.

"Probably James telling me the photo proofs are ready," Cat guesses.

"You should look at them first," Supergirl suggests.

Cat retrieves her laptop from her desk and sits back down on the couch and pulls up the link from her Art Director.

"Seriously a collar with a cape?" Cat groans playfully.

"He has to have a cape to fly," Supergirl replies as if that is obvious.

"I suppose that it's not horrible," Cat admits going over the photos. Then reaching over she turns on the recording app on her phone, "Supergirl, tell me what are your plans for him? Is he going to be your sidekick?" she asks curiously.

"No, he'll be a hero in his own right. He's going through a rigorous training regime now," she explains.

"A hero in his own right," Cat repeats. "Are his powers comparable to yours then?" she asks.

"Yes, he's bulletproof and strong, he can fly, of course, and he has exceptional vision and hearing," Supergirl replies.

"Hmm," Cat remarks looking over the photos carefully. "Was his name always Krypto?" she questions.

"No, his actual name doesn't translate," she answers. "But like all Kryptonians, he has an ear for new languages, so he responds to Krypto," Supergirl explains.

"All Kryptonians have an ear for new languages?" Cat asks curiously.

"Yes, it's like I have my own version of Babelfish in my head," Supergirl confesses.

Cat reaches over and hits pause on the recorder.

"I see. So the other night at dinner with Mario, you understood the whole conversation that I had with him in Italian?" Cat questions.

Supergirl smirks.

"That was a private conversation!" Cat points out indignantly.

"Cat, Kara was sitting right there, it was hardly private," the hero counters.

"Yes, but I had no idea that she, you spoke Italian," Cat replies flustered when the girl refers to her alternate ego in third person. "You aren't able to read minds though, right?" Cat suddenly wonders.

"No, I cannot read minds. Although I do know someone who can," Supergirl replies playfully.

"That is not fair," Cat admonishes her.

Then hitting record again, she asks, "Does Krypto stay with you? And does he need special accommodations?"

"He does stay with me. And he definitely needs special accommodations. He hasn't exactly figured out how to adjust to having super powers, so he's a bit hard on furniture. His tail is almost lethal when he gets excited," Supergirl admits.

"Which is why he's being trained now," Cat suggests.

"Yes! And also why I haven't really taken him out in public yet," she adds taking the cue from Cat.

"Why are you just now introducing him, if he's not yet trained?" Cat asks. "Did he just arrive recently to National City?"

Frowning, Supergirl realizes that it's the obvious question, but she had hoped not to discuss it.

"He arrived a couple of weeks ago, his spacecraft landed in the desert. Like me, he was lost in the phantom zone after Krypton was destroyed many years ago," she explains.

"So he's been in stasis for a long time, what kind of affect did that have on him?" Cat asks.

"It doesn't seem to have had much of an affect on him, although he isn't terribly fond of vehicles of any sort," she admits.


"How did the interview go?" Alex asks entering Kara's loft that night with Krypto.

"Interesting," Kara replies bending down to greet the canine. "How did his training go today?"

"Also interesting, apparently he can drag a humvee by the bumper across the compound and then toss it onto it's side," Alex remarks.

"Oh no!" Kara exclaims.

"It's fine, Hank was there to help," Alex replies. "That tail is deadly though," she adds.

"I know!" Kara says gesturing to all of her broken furniture.

"Well, for the record. I'm not ever keeping him overnight at my place," Alex says grabbing a bottle of water out of Kara's fridge.

"So the training was a bust," Kara replies disappointed.

"No, no I think that we made some progress," Alex says sitting the bottle of water down. "Krypto, come here," she says touching her shoulders.

Kara cringes, but Krypto goes over to Alex and gently lunges at her resting his paws on her shoulders before nuzzling her ear," Good boy," Alex says handing him a treat.

"That's great!" Kara says happily.

"Yeah, the training room made all the difference. But the tail wagging is still a problem," Alex admits.


"Kara, have you finished the edit yet?" Cat asks entering her office.

"No, and you've twisted this around. I'm rewriting it," Kara snaps. Then realizing that she just snapped at Cat Grant, she looks up nervously.

"I can take constructive criticism without firing anyone, now what is it that you think that I've twisted?" Cat asks coming around the desk to see what she's working on.

"You're taking exception to that?" Cat asks surprised.

"Yes, we can't tell people his tail is lethal, they'll be afraid of him," Kara points out.

"Well, they should be, he's not a normal dog Kara," she counters.

"He will be. We're training him," Kara reminds her.

"Fine, take that out and refer to the training," Cat replies agreeably. "Anything else?" she asks.

"You can't use this photo," Kara replies.

"That's the best one," Cat exclaims annoyed.

"No, it's not. This one is better," Kara replies pointing to another one.

"Where did that one come from?" she asks.

"I told James not to send it to you, I thought it was too personal. But now that I've read the story, I think that it should be the cover photo," Kara remarks.

"Kara, it's perfect. Why didn't you want me to see it?" Cat asks.

"I just, well, it kind of makes me look like one of those crazy dog people," Kara admits.

"Says the girl who hid a dog under her desk for a over a week and let him destroy most of the furniture in her home and office," Cat replies sarcastically.

"Uh, I just, he's special to me," she stammers a bit embarrassed.

"This picture shows that, we'll use it for the cover. The rest will be in the online montage, only available through our website," she adds.

"Would it be possible for Carter and I to meet him?" Cat asks.

"Carter wants to meet him?" Kara repeats the question, delighted with the request.

"Did you miss the part about me wanting to meet him?" Cat asks annoyed.

"Oh, I just assumed that wasn't what you actually meant. You're allergic to dogs," Kara reminds her.

"Yes, yes, I am. However, there is a pill that I can take that helps, so you'll arrange it?" Cat asks again.

"Yes, how about the park near your place," Kara replies.

"Isn't that too public?" Cat questions.

"Oh right, it's not Kara and her dog. It's Supergirl and Krypto," Kara says shaking her head.

"How about the roof here? I'll have the driver bring Carter after school tomorrow," Cat suggests.

"Okay, but no photographers or news choppers. Just us, right?" Kara confirms.

"Yes, just us and Carter," Cat agrees. "But you do realize that he's my son and he's going to figure this out soon," she remarks.


"Mom, what's going on?" Carter asks entering her office the next afternoon full of curiosity and excitement.

"I have a bit of a surprise for you," Cat says grabbing her jacket from where she left it on the back of the couch.

"Where is it?" Carter asks following her out to her private elevator.

"Up on the roof," Cat says with a mischievous smile.

"The roof, are we taking the helicopter?" he asks excitedly.

"Not this time," Cat replies. "I think this is better than a ride in the helicopter," she adds.

The elevator opens and they both step out. Carter looks around and doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, confused he turns to look at his mom and then he freaks out. "Mom, is that Superdog?" he asks

"His name is Krypto," Supergirl replies landing softly and placing a hand on the dog's back.

"Supergirl!" Carter says with the same amount of reverence and awe in his voice that his mother has when she greets her. "Does he really have superpowers?" he blurts out.

Supergirl hands Carter a ball. "Throw it and find out," she says smiling at him.

Carter takes the ball and throws it high into the air.

Supergirl signals to Krypto to go after the ball and he springs into the air catching it at the peak of it's arc, then returning to sit in front of the boy.

"Wow," Carter exclaims.

"Now let me show you what else he can do," Supergirl says reaching down and taking the ball from Krypto's mouth.

"Krypto, follow me," she says taking off and jumping off the building.

Cat and Carter watch in awe as the dog chases the girl across the sky. Cat rolls her eyes. It's ridiculously cute to watch the two of them playing like this.

"That is so cool," Carter gushes when the two heroes return to the roof. "Wait, mom, how come you're not allergic to him?" he asks suddenly realizing that she's not sneezing uncontrollably, like she did when his dad brought a puppy home.

"No, I am allergic to him, but the doctor gave me a shot, so that I wouldn't be today," Cat admits.

Supergirl's eyes light up, she knows how much Cat hates shots of any kind.

"Can I pet him?" Carter asks.

"Yes, but he's still learning his powers, so don't get him excited," Cat replies before Supergirl can.

"Mom, how come you know so much about Krypto?" Carter asks curiously.

"Carter, didn't your mom tell you about the interview last night?" Supergirl asks.

"Mom, you interviewed Supergirl and Krypto and you didn't tell me?" He asks disappointed.

"Carter, the interview was boring. I thought that you'd like to actually meet Krypto," Cat explains.

"Can I get a photo with him?" Carter asks.

"No photos," Cat replies being the bad guy so Supergirl doesn't have to say it.

"Actually, I think that one photo would be okay, but only if it's of all of us," Supergirl replies, surprising Cat.

Cat pulls her phone out of her pocket and hands it to Supergirl, who unlocks it without thinking about it and takes the photo.

"It was great to see you again Carter," Supergirl says before she and Krypto take off.

"Mom, why does Kara pretend not to know me when she's Supergirl?" Carter asks as they step into the elevator.

"Because she thinks you don't know," Cat says smiling to herself.

"How could I not know? It's really obvious. She just unlocked your phone and Kara's the only other person who knows your unlock code, I haven't cracked this one yet," he points out.

"Well, you should talk to her about that," Cat counters, pulling out her phone and looking at the photo of them together with the stupid amazing dog.

"You must really like her if you got an allergy shot," he teases.

"Don't be ridiculous, I just wanted you to meet the dog and I couldn't let you do it alone," she replies. "He's not fully trained and still dangerous."

"Uh yeah, sure," Carter replies not buying it for a second. "Mom, I think it's cool if you like Kara. She likes you back, you know," he points out.

"Carter, we're not having this conversation," Cat snaps as the elevator doors open. "Not here at work, at least," she adds softening her tone.


"Kara?" Cat replies when the penthouse elevator arrives. "I didn't realize that you were stopping by tonight."

"You texted me to come over at 8," Kara replies confused.

"Carter!" Cat says storming down the hall and flinging open her son's bedroom door.

"Hand me the iPad," she demands.

"Is Kara here?" He asks first.

"She is," Cat says all but slamming his door shut.

"Cat, what's going on?" Kara asks confused.

"Sit please," Cat says gesturing to the couch. "One, Carter knows that you're Supergirl. Two, he texted you from my iPad, so you'll need to change the passwords again," she says setting it down on the table. Then leaning in close, she adds, "Three, since you're here ... you should be kissing me."
