This is a mini fic,
designed purely out of frustration. I am now officially all for shipping
Supercat, Winnara, Kalex, Karwinn, what else is there? I'm oddly satisfied with
these now, and am happily writing all of them. My current obsession, and I
don't say that lightly, is supercat. I got a brainstorm, and it's evolved into
a very intense story.
Initially, I had
planned a simple, clean cut, five chapter fanfic devoted to Kara and Cat, or in
my ideas, Supergirl and Cat. I little fun, I know. (facepalm)
But, it's become
something I want to write correctly. So I've decided to take a few more weeks
with it, because I'm also doing a series of realistic portraits to go with it.
In the meantime,
because I know I promised some supercat soon, I let my imagination live and
thought up a tiny little story to tide you over until I get my photos on track
and get my cosplay shots finished right up as well. This is mini, and I give no
rating coz this is meant to be funny and nothing more. I say it is supercat,
but it's very light, barely there, supercat. Enjoy. And I don't own supergirl
or anything related. Thank you, and
please comment...^-^
Ping Pong, My Heart Is Gone...
A Supergirl Fanfiction
Kara had spent most of
the afternoon idly moving between the balcony barbeque and the gaming center,
because that was where Ms. Grant was, talking to colleagues and magazine
reporters. Kara was her personal assistant tonight, more than just
"assistant". Hmm. Tonight was about as boring as possible. Kara had
no real work to do, as herself or as Supergirl, and had nothing to do. Besides
eat. That, was always a good way to pass the time.
For the last hour,
she'd been parked in a soft leather armchair, one plate of potato salad and an
egg salad sandwich in her lap and another in her hand at her chest, filled with
fruit and vegetables, and a cheeseburger. Beside her on a small table there was
yet another plate with 2 scoops of ice cream and a fat slice of red velvet
cake.
Kara watched the room
from her spot, watching the games of tennis and soccer outside, and the random
games inside, like ping pong and some sort of spin the bottle thingy. Kara had
no interest in joining, for one because of her superpowers, and second, Kara
was here for Ms. Grant. Not to play games. She was completely content to watch.
Too bad it wouldn't stay that way.
"Keira... what are
you doing?" Ms. Grant asked right then, walking over to Kara, carrying her
own plate of fruit.
"Um...
eating?"
"I can see that.
God you have a huge appetite. How can you even finish that?"
"You'd be
surprised, Ms. Grant."
"Yes I would
be." Cat said, grinning. Kara was beyond adorable when she did this. Cat
smiled, half to herself, and gently eased Kara's plate out of her hands and
placed it on the table beside the cake plate. Cat knew exactly where such an
appetite came from. Despite the perfectly twisted up hair and the nerdy
glasses, Cat had long ago found out Kara's secret. But it was plenty fun like
this, watching her stumble to hide it. "You're coming with me."
"Ms. Grant?"
Kara asked, getting up after setting aside her second plate.
"I've been pulled
into a ridiculous ping pong championship in the other room, you're my second
assist to win."
"I... no, Ms.
Grant. I can't." Kara stumbled, trying to avoid this mess. She didn't play
ping pong. Or any pong of any sort. Her strength forbid it. She couldn't risk
it.
"Why?"
"Um..." Kara
hedged... unsure. "I... I'm terrible at it. I always lose."
"I doubt
that." Cat said in her usual clipped tone, grabbing Kara's fingers in her
own gently, leading her across the room.
"Where's Winn?
He's good at that game." Kara asked, fully aware of the soft warm grip Cat
had on her hand.
"He's not going to
win for me, though. You are, Kara."
This stopped the young
hero. Dead in her tracks. Cat had said her name correctly. For the first time. Ever.
"Ms. Grant. You... you just..."
"Grab a paddle,
Kara." Cat said, handing her a white and silver one, before grabbing a
gold one for herself. "Help me win this, and I'll promote you."
"Hmm?"
"You heard
me." Cat said, taking up residence at the biggest table, grinning at Kara
as she shuffled up beside her.
"You can't do
that, Ms. Grant."
"I can do what I
want. That's why I'm the queen of all media. Now come on. Shrug off that
cardigan and show me what you've got."
Whether Kara saw the
flirtatious hints, Cat couldn't be sure. But she did as told, slipping off her
white cardigan and revealing a sleek shift dress in an elecric blue that
matched her eyes. Holy hell. That dress fit her like a glove, not at all hiding
her figure and the muscles hidden in her arms. Super-girl. Really.
"Do you like what
you see?" Kara asked casually, adjusting her dress at the shoulders.
Cat stayed silent and
focused on the opposite side of the table as her competitor fired up the first
ball at Cat. For maybe twenty minutes Cat and Kara played, and Cat knew her
assistant was hiding her powers. Or trying to. She was succeeding, but to Cat,
it was more than obvious.
Right now, thanks in
full to Kara and her little superball fires on occasion, they were holding
even, but there was only a minute left in this game, and Cat was silently
hoping that Kara would do some little super trick and win this. Cat saw it in her eyes. She was gearing up
even as she easily fought with the girl across from her.
The girl struck the
plastic ball hard, determined to fool Kara and gain them a winning point. Kara
saw the force of her serve, though, her quick eyes catching it immediately, and
hit the ball so hard it left a tiny dent in her paddle and the table as it
bounced, then hit a flowerpot behind her opponent so hard the ball broke and a
loud bang echoed through the room, shocking almost everyone.
Cat was given the win,
and she pulled Kara to her side, hugging the young hero to her tightly. Kara
gasped but allowed it, and twirled the paddle in her fingers nimbly before
letting it drop to the table. She loved a good win as much as Ca did, and
smiled slyly at her opponent, who was practically smoking, she was so mad.
"All in a day's work."
Kara said easily, clearly proud.
"Ah, not yet. The
gala might be ending and we are leaving, but the day isn't over yet," Cat
paused to glance around them as she picked up Kara's cardigan and led them to
the stairs, her arm protectively around Kara's waist. "Supergirl."
"You... I'm not...
what?"
"Relax, I won't
out you. But... I do plan to thank you, if you'll let me."
"Thank me?"
"Mmm. Yeah Kara. I
plan to thank you for winning that for me. And unless I've seriously mistaken
this situation, I think you'll rather enjoy it."
"I will?" She
asked, confused as they walked outside together. She felt Cat's fingers tighten
on her waist just slightly, then slip lower on her hip, teasing the hem of her
short dress, her fingers skating barely over Kara's leg. "Oh..." Kara
said to no one besides herself as the answer dawned on her. Immediately she
blushed, embarrassed that she was actually turned on by the idea of Cat... and
her... oh god this was bad. But so damned true. She swallowed, knowing this was
a line she'd promised herself she would not cross. But here they were.
"Mmm. Yeah that's
right. But there's only one problem with that. You're my assistant, and that's
just wrong."
"Right." Kara
said, willing Cat to drop the subject and take her wherever the hell she
wanted. Please... Cat...
"But there's a way
out of that dilemma."
"How...?"
Kara hedged, hoping.
"I'd like to see
that suit more closely, if you're willing. I hear it's quite pretty..."
"Okay." Kara
said after a long moment as they stood on the sidewalk, away from other people.
From so many eyes and cameras. "Okay, I'll show you."
