Supercat Week 3, Day 4: Red String of Fate
Collab with the magnificent @thewritelauren. She gave me an idea, and I drew it. Then she whipped up a oneshot, and brought it to life. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Summary:
Cat and Kara have been feeling an undeniable pull towards each other ever since Kara revealed herself after Myriad. Also Cat's employees screwed up.... again.
“I was thinking that if we change this article on page seventeen and move it to the front we could improve the format of the…” Cat let the soothing lilt of Kara’s voice lull her into oblivion, that place between paying attention and sleep. She was utterly exhausted; they had been fixing the train wreck of an issue since six o'clock in the morning when the disaster in question had landed on Cat's desk. She was utterly unsure how it had gotten so far up the chain without someone flagging it for its content. When they finished, heads would roll; Cat would be damned if they didn't. “Cat…. Cat?” She was jolted out of her daze by Kara's voice. She loved the way that Kara said her name. It sounded soft, sweet, perfect. She should've given Kara permission ages ago. “Are you feeling okay, Cat?” Kara asked nonchalantly, her tone betraying the concern in her voice. Cat let out a sigh, “I’m fine, Kara, just tired, as I’m sure you are as well. You know you can go home anytime right? You aren’t getting overtime for this.” Cat said. She offered Kara a small smirk, far too exhausted to give her the real thing. Kara rolled her eyes and grinned in response. "Yes, it’s all about the money for me, Cat," she teased. "I have my eye on buying up half of your company.” She stood and grabbed her purse. Cat’s throat clenched; she hadn’t actually expected her to leave. “See you tomorrow, Kiera.” she reverted the name in order to stifle the feeling of disappointment threatening to overcome her. “I’m not leaving, Cat," Kara offered her that damned smile again. "I am just going to grab us some ‘fuel’, you seem a bit tired and I know I could use a snack.” Cat laughed, “When aren’t you hungry, Kara?” Kara’s cheeks pinked and she shrugged. “I’ll be back soon. I’m just going to Noonan’s.” She rushed out the office. Cat watched her leave and felt her heart flutter as a realization crashed over her like a tidal wave. She didn’t want Kara to leave, even just for coffee. She almost got up and went with her but she valiantly resisted the urge. “Control yourself," she muttered to the empty room. She had been getting worse the more she learned about Kara. She wanted to be near her almost constantly. She’d thought that it was sufficiently in control, but it didn’t look like she was going to last for much longer. "You can do this," she said to herself. "It's not like you're in love with her." Cat froze. She was in love with Kara Danvers.
