Kara’s out most of the day chasing down sources for her story on the rash of bank robberies in National City over the past month, although she checks in on the CatCo building regularly, knowing Cat is back in town today.
The AGM for shareholders is usually a lavish affair, one Cat could just about tolerate as CEO. Now she’s invited as a courtesy, no longer queen of her own media empire. Unfortunately her mother will be there too, having clung on to the shares Cat gave her out of misguided sentiment years ago. So much for finding the company tacky; she certainly doesn’t mind the money it makes her.
By the time Kara gets back, having stopped one of the robberies in progress as Supergirl, she’s barely thinking about the meeting at all. She hears Katherine Grant long before she sees her, making a sniffy comment about how much better the company seems to be doing since Cat left to go be a government stooge. Kara doesn’t need to hear Cat’s reaction to picture the tight line of her mouth and the hurt in her eyes. Zipping up a few floors, she interrupts their conversation before they even notice she’s there.

Supercat; Kara consoles Cat after a visit from Katherine, maybe by dragging her out to do something silly. Bonus if Carter’s involved. :) Thanks!
