The man trailed his hands down his face desperately, it was his misfortune to have a daughter and a wife who were both so stubborn, he'd been trying for two hours to get both to see sense.
"If she can apologize I will be graceful and take her back." Cat sat innocently on the sofa her hands between her knees trying not to enjoy her presumed victory too much.
"Apologies is she taking the piss, there is no way I am saying sorry."
"Okay, you both need to say sorry, please to help keep me sane." (f/n) pleaded his eyes desperate, he couldn't win he either sided with his daughter and upset his wife or sided with his wife an upset his daughter and her adored them both.
Why can't they just get along?
"Your daughter is very eloquent (f/n) how does she manage it?"
(Y/n) landed her heated eyes on the older woman a fierce growl emanating from her. "That is my kitchen, it is mine I had to watch another woman take away the woman I loved I'm damn certain I will not let that happen to my kitchen!"
"Slightly too dramatic." Cat sighed.
"See how she knows nothing about restaurants, to a chef a kitchen is like a ship for a naval Captain, if the kitchen goes down then a chef does too, a kitchen will tell you a lot about a head chef, and mine is pristine and happy."
"You don't sound so pristine and happy now." Cat shrugged eyebrows darting upwards.
"Oh, Dad what happened to that twenty-one-year-old bikini model you were dating why didn't you marry her."
(f/n)'s mouth gaped open feeling the intense gaze from his wife. "Now she is lying I never dated anyone who was twenty...well I mean I did when I was twenty but not now no never, (Y/n) tell her I'm not a sleazy older guy."
(Y/n) rolled her eyes, folding her arms over her chest. "Fine she wasn't twenty-one, she was thirty-one."
"It's not as bad as it sounds Cat I was only thirty-nine." He was beginning to wonder why he had ever gotten involved in their war of wills, in pointless wars only the innocent were ever hurt and it was him being hit by misdirected missiles.
"She was really nice too." (Y/n) smiled at the woman who looked like she was torn between deciding who she should attack. "Flawless skin I remember, perky boobs no need for any doctor intervention."
"(Y/n) you are really making things worse."
"I just simply wish you'd married her, what was her name again Mercury?"
"Hah Mercury, who names their child something so stupid?"
"I don't know Catherine."
"Don't call me that!" The older woman stood up uncaring that (Y/n) was by far taller than her, she had faced bigger in her time.
"Okay you two can sort this out together, you are driving me crazy whether you like this or not you are like two peas in a pod!"
Both women turned to him all their anger and accusation landed squarely on him.
"Oh screw this I'm never going to win, but I'm not choosing either one of you over the other, I love you both and these crazy battle of wills will not even well," With that, he stormed from the apartment slamming the door behind him.
"You've really upset your father," Cat said smugly.
"Oh screw you, you two cent pole dancer."
"Is that the best you can do?"
"No, I feel sorry for the pole!"
(Y/n) soon followed her father leaving Cat alone.
"Good, maybe I can get some work done in peace now."

She was beyond pissed off.
Instead of going home and regaling Lena with her encounter with the stepmother from hell she donned her suit and took to the skies over the city hoping to encounter someone up to no good so she could realize some of her pent-up anger.
She always marveled at the city overhead by night it looked different more alive than it did by day, the lights from the streets and the houses illuminated all around, then disappeared like a rain shower on a hot day when the dark shadows of alleyways lurked ominously near.
The noise of a scuffle caught her attention, coming from an alley or backstreet below, she swooped down quickly to investigate.
Landing with a thud her boots loudly making contact with the concrete two figures fought ahead, the closer she walked into the abandoned waste ground the more she saw.
What the hell.
Dressed in black leather, a black leather mask covering her eyes she knocked her foe to the ground, long blonde hair cascaded around her like a golden halo of a fallen angel.
Oh wow okay this is hot.
Hiding further in the shadows so she could watch she smiled enjoying the show something told her the guy getting beat was not someone she was supposed to save.
Her eyes zeroed into the shadowy figure's voluptuous round breasts strictly confined in their leather bustier prison.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
The mantra sang around in her head but damn it was hard, she tore her eyes away to realize the fight was over, she stood triumphant over her victim.
She is magnificent.
"Well done that was quite something." She stepped from the shadows venturing closer.
" Superwoman, I guess I beat you to your job. "
"I saw." Saw a few other things too.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
Do not use x-ray vision.
"You are the infamous Superwoman." She kicked the forgotten figure on the ground and walked around her.
" Well, I don't know about infamous. "
"I keep hearing about Supergirl but I don't see anything great in her."
" That's a bit harsh. "
"You are quite hot though."
" Thanks. " She thinks I'm hot!!! (Y/n) tried to hide the excited voice that shouted it out loud.
"Maybe you and I should get to know each other."
I wish.
"Err..."
She smiled mysteriously taking an unexpected lunge forward grabbing (Y/n)'s head to meet hers in a fierce kiss that seemed to both last an eternity and not be long enough.
Then roughly she pushed her back stunned as she smiled victoriously. "I'll see you around Superwoman."
" Err yeah sure. "
She couldn't think straight let alone think of a decent come back, she cringed at her lack of coolness.
"Wait who are you?"
There was no reply the woman had run into the night.
"Well, that was an experience." She looked down just remembering someone was laying there. "Oh, right you, err do I just leave him there?"
She looked around there was nothing and no one.
"When did I become the cleanup service, I know I'm a newbie but jeez give me a break at least let me make the tea instead of this."
She bent down and picked him up launched herself into the air and flew with him to the local jail, she knew her father wasn't working tonight.
The officers on desk duty were a little shocked to see her arrive carrying the prone man in her arms, throwing him to the ground like a triumphant conqueror.
"Do you know what to do with him?"
The officers stepped forward moving him over to get a look at his face.
"Looks like the guy we're after for the spate of attacks on women in the city." One said comparing his visage to the photo fit he had.
" Yep, this is him, well done Superwoman you stopped a sexual predator. "
"Err actually it wasn't me I just found him."
" Really, well someone went to town on him. "
You have no idea.
"Thanks anyway Superwoman."
I am now a criminal flying cab service.
Who was she?

"Hey, Winn do you have a database for like vigilantes?" ( Y/n) asked as she entered the D.E.O the next afternoon, her mind had been full of the masked woman.
"Only bad guys, why?"
" Last night I was circling the city like a badass blue and red eagle when I found this way too hot woman kicking this dudes ass! "
"What is this?" Alex asked as she and Kara walked towards them.
" How hot was she? " Winn asked.
"Is that really the most important thing here?" Alex asked severely.
(Y/n) ignored her smiling at the memory. "Sizzling hot!"
" Wow! "
"Black leather and everything, and breasts that you could rest a cup on."
Alex scoffed. " Apparently that is important now. "
"So she kicked his butt, left him there like some unwanted trash I flew him to the police and it turns out he is the rapist they have been after."
" No way. "
"Yes, way it was epic."
"And you've never seen her before (Y/n)?" Her cousin asked intrigued.
" No. "
Winn watched her face take on a dreamlike state. "OMG there is more isn't there?" He pointed excitedly.
" Maybe. "
"Oh please (Y/n) tell us more." Alex sighed sarcastically.
" She kissed me. "
"No freaking way!" Winn jumped.
" Yes! "
"Pretty sure that is assault," Alex said grimly.
" Oh, it was not unwanted my eyes spent most of the time in her cleavage. "
"Yeah well, there is no accounting for taste."
" That is true although I find since you, my taste has kept on improving. " (Y/n) said walking away with Winn who was hanging on her every word.
Alex watched her leave.
"Who do you think it could be?" Kara asked.
" What? "
"Alex, are you listening to me?"
" Things have been intense after the bar Maggie went a little mad. "
"Alex are you surprised? "
"No."
The door slammed behind them as Maggie stood and watched her through tiny slits, her eyes scrunched up in anger.
"Do you want to tell me what all of that was about?"
" It was nothing. " Alex shrugged.
"I'm not a fool Alex I saw you when you weren't watching (Y/n) you were scowling at Sara and that spilling of your drink only looked accidental to you. "
Alex sighed she couldn't deny it, more and more she was regretting her actions, once she had thought Maggie Sawyer was the love of her life but she wasn't.
"Maggie I think I need to be honest with you."
" Oh yeah, what about? " She said suspiciously as though she knew and feared to hear the real words.
"That morning you told me you'd changed your mind, that you wanted me back I felt conflicted but I'd spent months grieving and crying the loss of the love of my life, I didn't want to admit to you that I wasted so much time hurting when you weren't that to me anymore. "
"I see." She said sadly.
" And when everything came out about (Y/n) I was so angry and hurt that I wanted to hurt her,
"You used me."
" No, I...I wanted to feel the same as before I wanted that so badly, but then I would see her and everything was gone, it was changed, she changed it."
"Now she has moved on." Her words were cold.
Alex laughed sadly. "Yes, now she has moved on."
" So I guess that means that we're over? "
"I can't be with you Maggie and love someone else."
" Even if she is with someone else. "
"Yes."
"Okay, I'm going to go, I'll see you around Danvers."
" Bye Maggie. "
The door echoed as it slammed shut and Alex was left all alone that was when she let the tears fall as she collapsed on to her couch and sobbed her misguided broken heart out.
