Charity Auction

Charity fund raisers are fun right, well that's what Lena was telling herself on the way to the meeting. She hadn't been involved in any fund raisers for a while and not at such a early stage she just didn't have the time these days, what with running LCorp, CatCo and dodging kidnappings and assassination attempts. This was different she could never turn down a plea from that adorable pouting blond puppy Kara Danvers. "Please lee please, it's a really good cause and it will be fun please" Kara had all but crawled onto her lap begging for her help, with a smirk on her face and a slight incline to her eyebrow Lena lingered on the thought of Kara on her lap possibly a little too long as she rounded the corner to come face to face with her.

The meeting was just to decide what they could do as a fund raiser, Lena had the connections and the locations and the finances to get everything started, to be fair she could have just given Kara the money for the charity and she would have been done with the whole thing, lord knows she didn't really have the time. However if she had done so she wouldn't have additional weekly meetings with Kara, along with Tuesday lunches, and Friday game nights Saturday dinners and the occasional pop in, most of her days already had some Kara in them but she had a excuse to ensure that Thursday afternoons were now also time with Kara. Kara had been writing a series of articles on local hero's and found out about a group that would gather together to help people who were suffering from disabilities or degenerative illness to modify their homes and work places so they could continue to lead normal lives. They had small fund raisers to help buy new equipment and most of the people were volunteers.

They were always very short of funds meaning that they were reliant on discounts and shops giving them scraps which made everything harder as they would have to repair or remake things before they could be used. Kara had wanted to give them a helping hand which was so kind of her, the charity had been very grateful although insisted that half the money go to helping research into motor neurone disease, of course this broke Kara's heart in a good way, when being given help themselves they still wanted to share, she was practically gushing about it. They had decided on an auction this was the easiest thing to arrange and with Lena's contact they could get some good prises. Kara had suggested that she could auction a date to ensure that there were enough bidders "only if Supergirl agreed to be the girl on the date, the Luther name won't pull in nearly as much" Lena had joked. Kara had gone quiet for a moment and decided that this was not a bad idea. The auction could conclude with a Supergirl date it would defiantly pull in the press to see who won the date, and it would help with Supergirls image, it had not been the best since Mixy had made a show of National City and declared his love for Supergirl before terrorising the place, then the Daxamite alien threat it had been a bad image year.

It was all set, Lena did not know how but Supergirl had agreed to this, maybe the girl of steel also has a weakness for the bouncy blonde, her green eyes flares slightly in jealousy. There was no way that Lena would be able to compete with a super hero. There was a massive swarm of people heading towards the lakes they had picked a lovely location and the auction would take place on the grounds with the lakes in the background, rows of chairs were set up for the guests to use and there was a podium for the auctioneer. The place looked perfect with white chairs and plush red pillows and waiters with canapés and Champaign wandering around in-between the guests. Lena was observing from the little band stand, she was wearing a red dress sweeping to the floor with a slit up the right leg stopping mid way up her thigh a low plunging back to the curve of her spine, it was sleeveless holterneck style which hugged every curve Lena possessed. He hair was delicately clipped up on one side and free flowing around her back and the other side, her lips trade mark red.

Kara had walked over to where she could hear Lena's heart, she had not seen her but she knew where she was. Kara was much more casually dressed in chinos and a button up, hair in a bun with her glasses firmly on her face that was until she saw Lena. Rounding the corner she looked up as Lena turned, her hair was blowing in the wind slightly the sun catching her eyes making them sparkle and shine, she had a amazing smile on her face and that dress was everything. Kara felt her heart stutter as she took in the vision, from the slow turn where her back was exposed, to the long slit exposing her leg, to the tight figure hugging dress and face Lena was a goddess. Kara literally fell, she tripped over her feet and fell towards Lena landing on the floor, her glasses had fallen and she couldn't see them. Lena Had rushed towards Kara as she fell, she had scooped up her glasses and she was crouched by the blond. "oh God Kara, are you Ok?" Lena's voice full of concern.

Kara was so concerned about her glasses and Lena in such close proximity she pushed up to her knees and began looking for her glasses, not responding to Lena. Lena put her hand on Kara's shoulder and slowly reached for her chin, moving Kara to be facing her. "Here you go sweetie I have them" Lena was looking at Kara, looking into her eyes full of fear and concern, it was like being struck by lightning, the recognition flashed momentarily on Lena's face, before she put the glassed over Kara's face. "It's ok Kara, is that better?" Lena did not know what else to say clearly she was talking to Supergirl and Kara and her friend looked terrified. Kara seemed to relax a little once her glasses were on, Lena offered her hand to help Kara up, Kara again witnessing the vision before her, which had no less of an effect than the first time. Lena smiled; Kara was blushing and trying to avoid looking directly at her. "I have to go and get things started, you have guys to show in ok."

The auction had gone off without a hitch, all the items, getaways, dinners and gifts had been auctioned off and unbelievably they had already reached $800,000, Kara had wanted to raise $500,000 for the charity, but with Lena's connections and Kara's winning personality they had already smashed it. The auctioneer announced the last item of the day, with that there was a little sonic boom over head followed by a flash of red and blue. The hero circled before slowly gliding down to the ground. "so as you all know the last item is a date today with Supergirl, shall we start the bidding at $10,000" Supergirl blushed at this thinking that this was a ludicrous amount of money for a date. The higher the bids went the more she blushed looking uncharacteristically flustered. Lord had bid $90,000, followed by $100,000 by Edge the bids kept coming, bid after bid and none of them Kara wanted to spend any time with, she was regretting this decision as all the bids were coming from people who were not fans, people who have actively tried to hurt people she loved or her. $300,000 Lillian Luther bid, there was a shock that ran through the entire crowd, and flashes from press camera's Kara looked around and saw Lena, a horrified look on her face. All other bidders had given up when Lillian had made her bid not wanting to go up against the Luther. Lena took a deep breath $1,000,000. There was a hiss from Lillian as she heard the bid, she didn't want to get into a bidding war with her stubborn daughter.

$1,100,000 was Lillian's passing shot; she was not letting her daughter get away with this so easily. A dangerous smile crept its way across Lena's face and her raised eyebrow and CEO stare said that this was over. $2,200,000, she had doubled Lillian's offer and made her look small in one swift motion, Lillian glared at her daughter and turned on her heal and left. Several members of the press opted to follow Lillian while the rest snapped pictured of Lena Luther; she could see the headlines now, a Luther and a Super. The auctioneer had dropped his gavel and encouraged Lena to come up to collect her item. After a steadying breath Lena approached Supergirl and held out her hand. More photos, various chants from how about a hug, can we have a photo, give her a kiss, it was getting very loud. Lena closed the auction and thanked everyone for coming. She spoke to a few more people and gave instructions on cleaning up and getting shipped to the new owners. She turned and returned to Supergirl.

Supergirl was gazing at Lena, as she approached, she had just spent so much money on a date, she could have anyone she wanted dressed like that, although she was sure that it was just so Lillian couldn't get her hands on her. Lena had been so upset when she had found out Lillian had hurt Supergirl it was sweet. She heard Lena Cough to get her attention, "Miss Luther, that was a very generous bid I will ensure you have a fantastic time" "what is it you have planned Supergirl?" Supergirl thought for a moment what could she do that would be worth that much money? They could chase the sunset, and see as many as they could fit in, or the sun rise if she preferred, they could go to every country in the world, she could fly her around all day and night if she wanted. Looking at how Lena was dressed with a warm glow on her cheeks maybe she would like something fancier. Supergirl swallowed and took a steadying breath before giving the options to her. Lena leaned in and whispered, "how about one floating dance and then you can take me home Kara" she lay a small kiss on her cheek.

Supergirl stepped back not really knowing what to say or do in this situation, Lie tell the truth apologise. Lena leaned forward again "supergirl may have saved me, but you Kara Danvers are my hero, I love you, please take me home" Taking Lena in her arms floating around effortlessly to the music playing softly while cameras flashed and people cheered, a quick show and then off into the air on their way to Lena's penthouse. They floated down and Lena stood before Kara, she looked amazing still even after the flight, she was smoothing her dress when the metal on the balcony whined under Kara's grip, Lena looked up to see Kara staring at her. "See something you like?" there was a playful tone in her voice and Lena's trade mark brow lift, crinkled nose and corner smile. Kara thought she may have just died. "Oh Rao, Lena your stunning, I love you too, would it be ok to kiss you?" Lena smiled a wide smile as she was pulled into Kara's embrace murmuring "finally" onto her lips before granting access to Kara's hungry tongue.
