Chapter Text
Cat had wanted to stop by Maxwell Lord's office to gloat about something. Kara had no idea what she wanted to gloat about and honestly didn't care. She didn't understand her boss's friendship with the billionaire. But she figured at the end of the day she wasn't suppose to understand them.
Her boss stopped dead in her tracks in the entrance of his office. Kara stopped directly behind her and looked over her shoulder to see why the other woman had suddenly stopped. Her blue eyes grew wide in fear as she watched the billionaire's blue eyes closed and his chest stopped rising and falling.
Kara pushed her petrified boss out of the way and rushed over to the unconscious billionaire. She got down on her knees beside him and placed her hands on his chest. She was going to have to give him CPR. “Call 911 Miss Grant while I give him CPR.” Kara told her boss calmly before she turned back her attention back to Maxwell Lord.
As her assistant began to give her friend and sometimes enemy CPR, Cat called 911. She didn't know how Kara could be this calm under all this pressure. Cat had panicked and if Kara hadn't been there than Maxwell could be dead right now.
“Come on Mr. Lord,” Kara says as she presses down on the billionaire's chest again. “You need to breathe.” She puts her mouth over his to begin giving him rescue breaths again. She can hear Cat telling the 911 operator what they had walked in on. She can hear the agitation in her boss's voice as she tried to tell the 911 operator that they didn't know what happened, they had just walked in on the scene.
“Tell whoever you are talking to that it doesn't matter right now. He needs help or he is going to die.” Kara calmly tells her boss as she breathes into Maxwell Lord's mouth once again before pulling away to do chest compressions.
Cat looks at her assistant and nods as she calmly tells the woman on the other end to hurry up and send help. She hangs up and rushes over to Kara's side. “Do you need help?”
“No, just go wait for the ambulance.” Kara tells her boss as she does chest compressions again. She puts her mouth back over his to breathe in again, but then she suddenly feels him breathing into her mouth and she quickly pulls away.
His eyes are still closed, but at least he is breathing. She still has no idea why Maxwell Lord had passed out on his office floor in the first place. Kara looks at the sides of his head and notices dried blood on the left side. She gets up off her knees and goes over to the desk and sees some blood on the edge of his desk.
He must have hit his head. Kara hears the sirens outside and a minute later they are following Cat into Mr. Lord's office. They load him onto the gurney and she explains to one of the paramedics what she thinks happened. The young man nods his head and thanks her for her help. Cat must have told him that she had given the billionaire CPR.
“I'll go to the hospital with him,” Cat tells Kara as they follow the paramedics downstairs. “You should go home and get some rest. You have done a lot tonight and I am very proud of you.”
“Thank you Miss Grant.” Kara says to her boss. She can't believe that just happened. Miss Grant had never said she was proud of her before. They loaded Maxwell Lord into the back of the ambulance and shut the doors before driving off. Kara stood there until the ambulance was out of sight and than hailed a taxi so she could go home.
The next morning Maxwell Lord woke up in the hospital. Cat Grant was sitting by his side and she looked tired and upset. Had she been by his side all night? She looked down at him and saw that his eyes were open. “Thank God!” She shouted when she saw his eyes were open. “Do you know how worried I have been Maxwell?”
He shook his head and he cringed in pain after the act. He wouldn't be doing that again. “Kara and I had stopped by your office so I could gloat and we found you passed out on your floor. You weren't breathing and if it hadn't been for Kara you would have died. She had to give you CPR!”
“Kara?” He asked her and Cat rolled her green eyes in response.
“Kara Danvers is my assistant and I feel like I should give her a raise for knowing CPR,” Cat wrote something done in her notebook and shut it before turning her attention back to him. “I am going to go into work. Will you be okay on your own?”
“Yeah, I'll just sleep,” He tells her and he watches her grab her things and lave the room. He pages the nurse and she comes in a few seconds later. She asks him what he needs and he looks up at her and smiles. “I need you to call the nearest florist and hand the phone to me.” She looks confused but does as he asks, even if it's not her job.
He takes the phone from her and places an order. The florist assures him it will arrive this afternoon after he has given her his payment information. He hangs up the phone and the nurse asks him if he needs anything else. “No,” He tells her as he rests his head on the pillow. “Just let me sleep.”
At 2:30 in the afternoon a delivery guy arrives on the top floor of the CatCo building. He asks for Kara Danvers and is pointed in the direction of her desk. He walks over and stops in front of her. She looks up from her work and smiles at the young man. “May I help you?”
“Are you Kara Danvers? Because if you are I have a delivery for you.” He says and she looks shocked. No one ever sent her anything.
“Yeah, I am.” She signs for the package and he hands her a large, rectangular box. She thanks him and when he leaves she opens it. Inside the box is a bouquet of light pink roses. She picks up the note and looks over it.
“Who are they from?” Kara jumps a little when she hears her boss's voice from the doorway of her office.
“They're from Maxwell Lord.” Kara tells her as she looks over at her boss.
“What does the note say.” Cat asks her assistant. She'll admit to herself that she is a little nosy.
“It says Thank you for saving my life. And for your grace and courage under pressure. Than he just signed his name,” Kara tells hr boss as she pulls the roses from the box and pulls a vase out of her bottom desk drawer. She gets a water bottle out of her purse and pours the water into the vase before putting the roses in the vase. “These are lovely. I will have to thank him.”
“I am sure he would like that.” Cat tells her assistant before she walks back into her office and shuts the door.
