Chapter: CatCo Covers
"A photo shoot?"
"Yes, a damn Photo shoot, Ponytail. The Numbers just came in and CatCo isn't doing so hot, or as hot as it should be doing, the craze of a Super saving a Luthor has died down a bit, so how's about we do a little, 'Super/Luthor' picture show. Cat called me and she's breathing down my neck which means i gotta breath down yours. So, i figured, since you and Luthor have become quite the 'Bossom friends', and you and Supergirl seem to have the same type of relationship, i was thinking we could unite those two gals and 'Take some shots' for the cover of next week's magezine, complete with an interview.", The Man wore a firm expression, arms crossed, he was clearly bothered with CatCo's 'numbers', subscribers seemed to have dropped a bit. Snapper was merely using the blonde for the connections she had, "C'mon ponytail, this'll be a good solo thing for you. I even got Jimmy as your Camera man."
"James? didn't he resign?"
"Yeah, but uh, I asked for a favor, I owe him one now."
Blue eyes flickered away from the man's gaze, she sighed softly. "I-uh Um...I'll uh see i mean-"
"Ms. Luthor would greatly benefit from this, even she'd know that. Not only will people see her as a person, being different from her crazy alien-hating brother, but L-Corp would-as a business, get a kick out of it. I'm sure she wouldn't mind some 'good coverage' and Supergirl's...too 'nice' to turn down an oppertunity that will make it seem like their little 'Super Vs Luthor' thing is in the past.".
Kara flinched at this, she crossed her arms over her chest, "We'll see about that.", the blonde wanted to say more, to speak her mind and give her boss a piece of her mind, but she bit her tongue.
"alright, well, you have until Tomorrow to unite the two gals in a photo shoot.", Snapper spoke smugly.
Kara turned away and left her boss's area, "Like I said, I'll see."
"Ah, Ms. Danvers. Good afternoon.", A certain assistant greeted as she stood up from her desk.
Kara smiled softly and greeted politely, "Good afternoon, Jess. Uh, is Lena busy right now? i mean, she's at work yeah, but uh-"
before Kara could begin an endless ramble, a voice playfully cut her off.
"I'm as free as can be, Kara.", came a seemingly flirtaious voice, it almost made Kara shiver.
"Ms. Luthor.", Jess greeted and then returned to her desk before Kara was able to manage any words. Jess sat down and soon became engrossed in something in her computer.
Kara spun around on her heel to face the owner of that very very alluring voice, finally thinking she managed to form words in her throat, "Lena, uh-heh, uh...", Kara's voice trailed off as she felt her voice lower into a shy 'uh', she swollowed thickly at the sight of the Luthor woman.
The Luthor's emerald eyes met Blue ones, a smirk tugged at the corner of those ruby lips, a hand on her hip. "See something you like?", the CEO winked playfully as she teased, she then giggled sweetly when she noticed Kara's cheeks grow red, "Getting you all tongue tied is quite easy", her lips tugged into a soft smile showing that she was playing around.
Kara swollowed thickly and then rose a hand to nervously adjust her glasses, a nervous 'Tick' she wasn't even aware she had developed, "Uh-heh, um, uh...", the blonde cleared her throat to straighten her thouggts out, "Uh, do you have a minute? I sorta need to talk to you about something.", the blonde got to the point fast, she needed to, she needed to get somewhere once she was done here, after all, Clark was only in town for a few days after all.
Lena's smile seemed to fade away, "Um, yeah, I'm free right now, although in about 30 minutes I have a Small business convention to attend by the down town area, so we'll have to make it fast."
Kara nodded, "Yeah, I mean um, It won't take much of your time."
Lena sighed softly, she slipped into prefessional mode, "alright, my office we go, and Jess, do have Carl bring the car in 15 minutes please."
Jess nodded, her hands still typing on the keyboard of the computer, "of course Ms. Luthor."
and with that, the two women slipped into the office.
"So, you're clearly here on business. and you seem a bit 'rushed'.", the CEO sat down in her chair by her desk, a leg crossed over the other.
Kara nodded as she sat down across the woman, "Sorry about being rushed and all uh, i just have to meet up with my cousin in a bit, he just came from Metropolis and he'll be staying with me for the next few days-" Kara cut herself off, "Gosh i just...Got off topic, uh-heh, sorry." the blonde chuckled nervously as she realized she was getting away from the real reason she was here.
Lena rose a perfect eyebrow, she smiled softly, "It's totally fine, I find it Cute when you finally 'catch' yourself.", the woman began to relax like earlier, slipping onto a more casual persona.
Kara smiled sheepishly as she once again rose a hand to adjust her glasses, "Um, so uh, Listen Um-", the kryptonian was clearly having trouble in saying what she wanted to say, her hand still on the frame of her glasses as she hummed trying to figure what to say, or rather, how to say it.
the Luthor's face softened, her emerald eyes read 'stress' all over Kara's face, she couldn't help but stand up from her seat and walk around her desk to the blonde whom was trying to figure out what to say.
'What if...she hates the supers?', the questions was running around in Kara's head, from what she knew of Lena so far, Lena seemed to be genuine in her want for change, but for some reason, when Kara approached Lena as her 'super' alter-ego, Lena seemed to hold the super at arms length, as if she didn't want to let the girl get closer to her. Whilist, as 'Kara Danvers', Lena kept her close. and from when Kara first met Lena, Lena did have a few ideas to 'out' aliens, which obviously didn't sit well with Kara, it also set alarms off in her head, almost wanring her that Lena may be what Clark, Alex and her friends tell her she is, Xenophobic.
'Lena won't say yes to-', and Kara's thoughts were Cut off as she felt hands take a hold of her shoulders, gently, she felt the hands begin to massage her broad shoulders. Kara tensed.
Lena released a small gasp, "Jesus, you're so tense, relax, seriously.", the woman spoke gently as she continued to move her hands, massaging the stiff muscles.
Kara's heart began to skip and race and do all those cheesy flips and acrobatics stunts she'd read and seen in those cheesy rom-coms. "Uh L-Lena Y-".
"Relax, Sweety.", Lena said softly as she ran a hand down Kara's shoulder and ran her finger tips to and over Kara's flexed Bicep, her breath hitched softly, she bit her bottom lip as she felt the muscle, she wanted to comment, but reframed when her eyes dropped to Kara's hand, it was strongly gripping the metal side of her desk, Lena could very well tell how tight Kara was gripping.
The Luthor remained calm when she saw those fingers seemingly digging into the metal.
Kara swollowed thickly again, "Lena." she said again, a bit shaky.
"Relax, tell me what you came to talk to me about. And maybe, if you have time later, you could come by my place and we could talk about what's got you this tense and stressed.", the CEO spoke as she ran her hand back up to the woman's shoulder, being sure to drag her finger tips slowly over Kara's relaxing yet hard bicep, and began to work the tense muscles with gentle hands.
"Um, Snapper...he uh, well, This 'project' is under me so uh, well We want to know if you'd like to uh take part in a photo shoot and an interview.", the blonde spoke as she began to relax under the Luthor's expert hands.
Lena hummed, "Sure. May i ask what the Photo shoot's for, and the interview?", the woman began to work her thumbs and finger tips into the now relaxing muscles.
"Um, CatCo weekly, The Photo Shoot's for um, the cover, and the interview is well, to be honest, he didn't give me the subject, but I'm guessing it's just for some more 'insight' or something. It's all up to you though, you don't have to waste your time-".
"I wouldn't call it 'wasting' my time, this 'project's' under you, so for you, I'd gladly take part in it, I know that whatever it is, You'd never do anything to make me or L-Corp look bad.", the heiress leaned her body down and forwards into the blonde's back, she looped her arms passed and around the blonde's shoulders, her chest was against the Kryptonian's back, "Count me in."
Kara's breath hitched, "Ri-Right um, thanks, I think you saved my neck from Snapper."
Lena's lips curled into a smile, "Well...", Lena sighed softly against the blonde waves that were Kara's hair, "Unfortunately, I think I have to go, however, I'd like it if we met up at my place later on tonight.", The Luthor woman's words were turning the kryptonian to puddy.
"Sure", Kara said before thinking her answer thoroughly.
"Great, Let's say, 7 O'clock? I'll order some take out too, How do pot stickers sound?", the ravenette pressed herself more against the kryptonian's back.
Kara swollowed thickly once again and she merely hummed a 'Mm-hm', as her grip on the desk slackened, small dents where her hand and fingers were, appeared.
Lena chuckled softly, she knew what affect she had on the Blonde haired kryptonian, but she made sure to not push the woman too much, she wanted to take it slow and observe the blonde close enough to be sure her assumptions weren't just her being hopeful.
"Great", Lena was going to lean back, but then Kara spoke.
"Crap, I-I forgot to mention something.", Kara sighed a bit shaky.
The CEO hummed, she reframed from moving back, she remained where she was, arms still looped passed Kara's shoulders.
"I...Snapper rather, he suggested that uh, you and...Supergirl come together for the Photo Shoot and Interview.", Kara said as she unconsciously rose a hand and put it over one of Lena's hands.
the Heiress nodded her head, "So, me and Supergirl are going to be on one of CatCo's magazines...together...", the Luthor's voice seemed to grow softer and more quieter.
"Yeah, I mean...Snapper said it'd 'look good' for you since...", Kara's voice trailed off, she released a sigh and shifted as if to stand up and out of the chair.
Lena noticed Kara shift, she released Kara from her arms and stelled away, her emerald eyes observed the blonde.
Kara stood up and shrugged as she turned to her, "You know what, forget it, Lena. You shouldn't have to pose with the cousin of the man that drove your brother mad to be recognized as someone who's trying to bring about a good change. I'll let Snapper know-"
and as Kara's lips continued to move as she continued to speak, Lena stopped listening, she zoned out the Blonde's voice.
'She doesn't want me to be uncomfortable.', The Luthor knew why Kara would think Lena was 'uncomfortable', it was all due to the Battle Lex-her brother, had put Superman-Supergirl's cousin, through. But in all honesty, Lena was very much comfortable with the Girl of Steel, she really was, but she reframed from showing it or mentioning it.
the Luthor stepped closer and reached out, she placed a hand to the side of the Blonde's face, cutting the blonde's words off and silencing her, emerald eyes gazed deeply into those ocean blue eyes, eyes that seem to always gaze back with concerns, affections and...something akin to Love and or, Endearment.
"Kara, I'm fine with posing for some pictures with her, I'm just not so sure she'd be fine doing something like that with me.", the Luthor's thumb gently caressed the side of the blonde's face, "And with what happened between my brother and Superman, I believe that's between them, I think me and Supergirl can co-exist without 'crossing' each other. as a matter of fact, I personally think me and her can actually make a great team when it comes to taking down those Anti-alien groups.", Lena smiled softly.
Kara smiled as well, she nodded her head, "She feels the same way.", the kryptonian held a soft gaze.
Lena rose an eyebrow, "She does? You've already spoken to her?"
And with those words, Kara began to ramble, 'shit', "Uh, y-yeah, before I came here I was uh, out having a quick coffee thing with her and well, she was okay with uh everything, she was just concerned about you an-
Lena chuckled, "Again with the rambling, Ms. Danvers?"
Kara blushed and released a breath. "Sorry.", she said sheepishly.
the ravenette shrugged with a smile still present, "Well so I guess it's settled-", and just as the Luthor was going to mention something else, the sound of two small thuds and a small gust of wind got the attentions of both women inside the office.
Emerald eyes instantly met Dark blue eyes, her facial expression dropping into a more 'Stiff' and nuetrul expression.
Kara's eyes widened slightly as she saw two figures on the Luthor's balcony.
"Superman, Supergirl." Lena started off as she released the side of the Blonde's face, although, not exactly breaking the physical contact, Rather, she got closer to the Blonde whom was next to her, she hugged one of the blonde's arms and dragged her other hand down to the kryptonian's stomach rather intimately.
which no doubt, Superman and 'Supergirl' noticed.
"Ms. Luthor", Superman started as he gave the woman a small nod of acknowledgment, his eyes then flickered and stuck to Kara's figure as he crossed his arms across the famous Crest of hope on his chest.
'Supergirl' remained oddly silent, her eyes seemed to be burning into Kara's face.
Kara sighed softly, "Superman, Supergirl, What's...up?", the Blonde started as she felt Slight apprehension, she knew that Superman and 'Supergirl'-rather J'onn's presence, wasn't to greet the Luthor.
Lena remained calm and collected, not once had her eyes flickered to 'Supergirl's' figure, she kept her gaze at Superman, she noticed the man of steel eyeing Kara rather...Oddly, almost scrutinizing her for no doubt, being so close to her.
Superman gave Lena one last look then his dark blue eyes flickered back to meet with Kara's much brighter shade of blue eyes, "We need you to come with us.", he spoke in a firm tone, almost demandingly.
Kara tensed slightly, which Lena felt when she felt Kara's stomach flex under her finger tips.
"Superm-"
"Shouldn't you ask if she's free first, Superman?", Lena cut Kara off from speaking, emerald eyes stared at The man, the Hero, that drove her brother mad. "It'd be unfortunate to impose on her freetime."
"The matter is of sensitive topic, Ms. Luthor, she has no choice.", 'Supergirl' chimed in now.
Lena didn't but glance the other blonde's way, her eyes didn't leave The Male Kryptonian's fierce gaze.
Kara began to feel things grow fairly uncomfortable and awkward, she sighed as she unconsiously put her hand on the Luthor's lower back.
Superman sighed almost like an annoyed growl, he stepped into the office, arms still crossed, 'Supergirl' following behind him.
"Not if the Matter is of her Family.", The male kryptonian narrowed his eyes at the Female Luthor.
and at Superman's words, Kara almost flipped out.
"Alex!?", Kara practically barked.
Lena hummed, she knew how important the Danvers family was to Kara, the blonde loved her adoptive family, especially her adoptive sister, Alex. Lena understood and began to back off, "Well shit-", the Luthor cut herself off for swearing, "Sorry" she apologized and then looked at Kara, the blonde was clearly worried, "You should totally go then."
Kara was still facing forwards, her eyes were searching Superman's, "Yeah, I should."
and as she said this, Jess came into the office.
as the door opened and Jess stepped in to say something to Lena, she paused as she caught a glimpse of not one, but two supers in Lena's office.
"Ms-Uhhh", the Younger woman swollowed thickly when all eyes went to her, "Sh-Should I...call Your Lawyer?", Jess asked as Both supers looked serious.
Lena nodded, "no need Jess.", the Luthor said as she began to separate herself from Kara, "Is the car here already?"
Jess nodded, "Y-Yes Ms. Luthor."
Lena released a small sigh, "Alright", the woman said.
Kara removed her hand from the woman's lower back and turned to Superman, "Is Alex okay?", she asked with concern.
Superman nodded, "Cadmus they...Listen, we'll fill you in as we bring you to see her.", the man's gaze softened at Kara's concerns
Lena visibly tensed at the mention of the very organization that her own mother Led.
Kara nodded, "Right, Right, take me to her, please."
Lena frowned sadly, the sad frown was caught by 'Supergirl'.
Kara released a shaky breath.
Jess's own face seemed to have fallen at the mention of Cadmus being involved in what was clearly, not something good.
Lena sighed and turned to Kara, whom was still facing Superman, reaching out she took a hold of Kara's hand, "I am so sorry, I hope she's okay, and Call me later on, fill me in if you can.", she said sincerely and then leaned upwards to give the blonde a small peck on the cheek, but was met with something else.
Kara was seemigly unaware, too concerned to think before turning. She was going to face Lena and tell her that she was still going to go over tonight, but as she turned to try and speak, her lips crashed into something very soft and warm.
Superman's eyes widened and his arms fell from his chest in what seemed to be, shock, his jaw practically dropped.
'Supergirl', merely took a deep breath, J'onn was clearly mentally preparing for what he knew was going to be a pretty big lecture from superman to Kara.
Jess gasped and slapped a hand over her own mouth to silence her gasp mid-way.
Lena froze up as her lips made contact with the Blonde's, she felt something akin to electricity shoot through her body, she felt her face grow warm.
Kara released a surprised hum against the CEO's lips, she pulled away, the sound of their lips coming off of each others rang in everyone's ears, mostly, Kara's and Superman's.
"OH RAO I'M SO SORRY!", Kara slapped a hand over her mouth, her face had grown red in embarrassment, even the tips of her ears grew red.
Lena took a step back, she smiled shyly and weakly, she waved her hand, gesturing that it was fine, "It's fine, It's fine. Um, I'll be going now, do call me later, yeah?", Lena's cheeks were slightly tainted pink.
Kara nodded frantically, her hand still over her own mouth, "Y-Yeah, I'll call you later.", the words came a bit muffled.
Lena released a small sigh and then waved at The supers before finally taking her exit, the door shut, just outside the door, Superman and Kara both heard Jess speak.
"How was it?". Jess whispered.
"I'm still your boss, Jess.", Lena said rather hoarsly.
"Right...", Jess spoke rather...playfully.
"Anyways, I know Kara's leaving by flight, lock my office up okay, and...take the rest of the day off."
"Right, and thanks."
and they finally heard Lena's heels fading further and further away.
"Kara", Superman's voice grew in concern as he turned to his cousin.
Kara looked at him and threw her hands in the air, "Alex comes first! C'mon!", the Blonde then walked passed Her cousin and passed J'onn whom was morphing into his martian form.
"Fine, but we will have a talk about the Luthor."
"Right, right.", Kara rolled her eyes.
