Chapter 47
"So Iris, how's life as Cat Grant's assistant?" Kara asked her with a smile as she walked up to Iris, who was sitting at her old desk.
"I have no idea how you managed to do this Kara. I mean tend to Cat's every need? I swear I've nearly had a mental breakdown at least 3 times today." Iris said and Kara chuckled.
"Been there, done that." Kara said with a chuckle.
"Any suggestions?" Iris asked.
"It'll get easier with time, since the more you get used to it, the easier it'll become." Kara assured her as James approached them.
"Hey Kara, can we talk for a second?" James asked and Kara nodded, wondering what this was about as James led her into his office.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Kara asked.
"I just wanted you to know that I know you're Supergirl. Your cousin has a big mouth." James said and Kara sighed, though she'd already known this.
"So, Clark told you about me without asking first. Okay, next time I meet someone I tell my identity to, I am revealing his identity to without his consent to even the score." Kara said and James laughed.
"So, I have a feeling you know about the other heroes in this city?" James asked.
"I do, but that's not my secret to share. Clark is one thing, but the others need to give me their permission before I tell you their identities. Oh, but when we're at Clark and Lois's wedding this weekend, remind me to slap him for not asking before he told you about me." Kara said, since they'd both been invited since Kara was Clark's family and James was serving as the best man, and James chuckled.
"Will do. Speaking of the wedding, you're good friends with Iris right?" James asked.
"Yeah, why?" Kara asked, wondering what that had to do with the wedding.
"Do you know if she's seeing anyone?" James asked and now it made sense to Kara and she had to say, she approved of James' taste.
"She is not seeing anyone. But isn't a little late to add a plus one to your invite?" Kara asked.
"I checked with Clark and he said it was fine." James assured her.
"Then you should ask her. She might say yes, if only because she was so jealous when I told her I was going to the wedding and since Clark and Lois are her journalistic heroes, she's desperate to attend the wedding." Kara said and James nodded.
"Thanks for the heads up." James said as they headed back out.
Iris had just finished her work for the day and was about to head home when James walked up to her.
"Hey Iris, can I talk to you for a minute?" James asked.
"Yeah sure." Iris said, wondering what this was about.
"I was wondering if you had any plans this weekend?" James asked.
"I do not yet. Why?" Iris asked, since if James was asking her out, her answer would immediately be yes, she'd had a crush on him since she'd started working at Catco.
"I'm sure you know that Clark Kent and Lois Lane's wedding is this weekend right?" James asked.
"Yeah, I'm so jealous that Kara gets to go to that." Iris said.
"Well, I'm going to and I was hoping that you'd be my plus one to the ceremony." James said and Iris couldn't believe her luck.
"Of course." Iris said.
"Great. I'll see you tomorrow." James said as he let her leave and Iris immediately pulled out her phone to call Kara.
"Hey Kara." Iris said.
"Hey Iris, what's up?" Kara asked.
"James just asked me to be his date to Clark and Lois's wedding this weekend." Iris said.
"He did. Huh, I thought he was going to wait longer before asking you." Kara said.
"Wait, you knew he would do this?" Iris asked and Kara chuckled.
"What do you think he wanted to talk to me about earlier today. He was asking if you were single. Also, he told me that he knows I'm Supergirl. Clark told him." Kara said.
"Wait, he knows that Clark is Superman?" Iris asked, being sure to keep her voice down for that.
"Are you kidding, James was one of the first people Clark ever told. But that means that you don't have to lie to him. You can tell him that you're Phoenix." Kara said.
"Huh, that actually sounds nice. I'll meet you at Star Labs later." Iris said.
"See you then." Kara agreed as she hung up.
