Please forgive me I don't have any experience or really know of anything related to law so I'm adlib-ing a large percentage of the court scene :D
Sebastian stood at the courthouse with his suit neatly pressed and his hair gelled back. He looked as cool and deadly like he usually does. But inside he was freaking out.
"Hey." Kara said coming up beside him. "Nervous?"
Sebastian scoffed. "Of course not."
Lies.
"It's okay to be nervous you know." Kara said. "This is the first time I had to attend a hearing with Miss Grant as a victim. I'm sure you're feeling just as nervous as Miss Grant is."
"I doubt the Queen of all Media is scared of a little publicity, Kara." Sebastian said offhandedly. "And I am not nervous."
"Then why have you been playing with the edge of your cufflink since you got here?"
Sebastian immediately stopped the action and sighed. He gave a cheeky grin to Kara. "Why how observant of you Miss Danvers."
"Thank you." She said. "Don't worry too much I think with the media covered event of what happened between Miss Grant, Livewire and Silver Banshee the evidence would speak for itself."
"That's not what I am afraid of." Sebastian said glancing nervously at the door where the accused were meeting with their lawyers.
"Hey." Kara said comfortably placing a hand on his shoulder. "You've got this. I don't believe that the best and youngest lawyer in one of the top Law firms would be intimidated at a case as clean cut as this."
Sebastian shook the feeling off and gave Kara a confident smirk. "Of course not."
Though deep inside he was quivering in fear.
The doors opened wide and they were all guided inside.
"Kera." Cat said. "Go back to the office you are not needed here. Phones are not going to handle themselves."
"Are you sure?" Kara asked looking at Cat with concern.
"I believe Mr. Smythe has this." Cat said with a look towards Sebastian and entered the courtroom with her usual aura of power.
The court was in session Cat Grant sat beside the young millennial lawyer on one side of the courtroom while another young lawyer sat on the other table while waiting for his client to be brought into the courtroom.
The second lawyer in the room had aristocratic features and dark brown hair. What stood out most above his freshly pressed and visually expensive suit were his sharp and unforgiving green eyes.
Leslie Willis and Siobhan Smythe were both brought in wearing unattractive orange jumpsuits and glowing a light green hue. Sebastian hoped that these would dampen whatever powers both women seem to posses.
Leslie had a feral look in her eyes as they set on Cat Grant. She struggled greatly at the person who was holding her still. Her silver hair tangled and her eyes set on Cat like a predator who was starving and kept from its prey. Siobhan had a blank stare through the whole ordeal. She didn't resist the restraints but she didn't comply like a guilty prisoner.
Sebastian couldn't help stare as they were brought in. She wasn't the fierce person as he remembered with her hair messed up instead of the usual callous exterior.
He shook out of the reverie as the judge banged his gavel reminding him of his old Warbler days.
"Lawyers?"
"Sebastian A Smythe, Esq. representing Catherine Grant, your honor."
The other lawyer stood as well. "Spencer S. Smythe, LL.M. for Leslie Willis and Siobhan Smythe, your honor."
The judge looked at them both skeptically but nodded his head. Both lawyers sat on their respective seats as the court session commenced. Cat, like a shark, could smell a hint of fear from the young lawyer.
"It is not unusual for me to be in a situation in court." Cat whispered suddenly. "However, I am a great judge of character to know that I have made a right choice to keep a millennial lawyer instead of hiring a middle aged snob, am I right?"
Sebastian had a sudden feeling of comfort from Cat's words, however unemotional they may seem. And sat straighter in his seat. "Of course."
"Mr. Smythe." The judge said looking at Sebastian. "Please begin."
Sebastian took a deep breath and stood up ready to do his job.

Cat and Sebastian entered Cat Co together after the hearing. Kara was just finishing up on her desk while James and Winn were nearby.
Kara immediately took notice as Cat entered the building.
"Kera, cancel my meetings tomorrow. And set me a meeting with Stanly Smythe for tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss Grant."
Cat gave a look to Sebastian as she disappeared to her office.
Kara looked at Sebastian. "So, how did it go?"
Sebastian gave her a somber look.
"Oh, Sebastian..." Kara gave him a hug.
"It went...great!"
"What?" Kara pushed Sebastian away and he gave her a cheeky smirk. "Jerk! You made me think..."
"That I lost?" Sebastian teased. "Kara Danvers, have you lost faith in me?"
"Well, you are a good actor." Kara replied as she returned behind her table.
"Well, as the youngest and one of the best lawyer in a big law firm, I shouldn't be intimidated from a little challenge." Sebastian said Winn and James then came towards them. "So this is a cause for celebration. Made a few new friends, a clean-cut case. I know there's still the sentencing left which isn't going to be too much trouble. So what do you guys say, my place tonight."
"I'm game." Winn said. "I wanted to see the apartment beside Kara's after that cat lady left."
"Sure." James said skeptically
"Do I have a choice?" Kara said playfully.
"No." Sebastian said. "Anyways, I have to finish some paperwork. See you guys later."
"Bye Sebastian."
Sebastian left them alone and James looked back to Kara.
"There's something about that dude that isn't sitting right with me."
"Come on, James." Kara said. "He's a good guy."
"He's hiding something."
"Somebody's jealous." Winn commented. "Sebastian has been hitting on Kara quite a bit."
James scoffed. "No...I'm...no."
"There's nothing going on with me and Sebastian." Kara said shaking her head.
"There is something going on and I'm going to find out what."
~()~
James was looking cautiously at Sebastian the whole time as they celebrated at his apartment. As Sebastian went to use the washroom, Kara and Winn confronted him.
"Okay, what is going on with you?" Kara demanded. "You're acting odd."
"Yeah, we're here to celebrate."
"I found out why he seemed a bit off." James said. "I found out his secret. I told you there's something off about him."
"Well, what is it?" Kara said "I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad."
"Yeah," Sebastian said leaning on the wall with a slight snarky glare. "What is my big secret?"
James stood up and was neck in neck with Sebastian. He didn't tower over the lawyer whose poker face didn't give anything away.
"You're not here to help Cat win the case. You're here to help her lose." James accused "Siobhan Smythe is your sister."
Oookay I'm going to end it there. hehehe
I actually have an idea on a reverse of this. A "what if Barry met the Kara of his world which is actually Marley" which would eventually lead to some New Directions Drama. So I still have to polish it up a bit more.
Please tell me what you think :DD
