Dallas can’t remember the last time she had a day as awful as today. It started off with her alarm not going off, making both her and Lena late to work, and then had just grown steadily worse. Her 2 top journalists, Kara and William, have been at each other’s throats all morning, and while Dallas is secretly on Kara’s side, she’s honestly just exhausted with their constant bickering.

Dallas had eventually snapped and sent them to interview different sources, on opposite sides of the city from each other. At least the office is a little more peaceful now.

Nia, on the other hand, is nowhere to be seen. Kara had attempted to cover for her with a stuttered excuse about chasing a lead, but Dallas doesn’t know anything about Nia having an active piece. The young reporter is good at her job, but Dallas wishes she’d show up in the office a lot more than she does. It's almost like Nia has another job on the side, or something.

Dallas glances at the clock and rolls her eyes. She’d sent Kara to L-Corp, to interview Lena about the new wing of the children's hospital, over 2 hours ago and the blonde is still nowhere to be seen. Dallas is usually completely fine with her employee and her wife being best friends, but Kara had chosen a particularly bad day to stretch out a simple interview.

Dallas grabs her cell and presses Kara’s name, growing frustrated when the call rings out and goes to voicemail. Dallas’s mood sours even more, and she mutters to herself in Spanish as she ends the call. She jabs her finger against Lena’s name instead, grinding her back teeth into dust as she waits for her wife to pick up.

“Is Kara with you?” Dallas demands as soon as Lena answers, forgoing any kind of greeting.

“Hello to you, too,” Lena says, dryly. “We just finished up with lunch. Is everything okay?”
