Lena looked down at the screen in front of her, the news was playing on it. A press conference of her greatest rival, Morgan Edge. Ever since he tried to embarrass her in front of the most powerful people in National City, he began his plot to buy Catco, the place Kara worked at. As she regarded the news, Lena couldn't help but ignore everything that man said. All she could think about was Kara leaving her just like that. Missing all their planned events with weak excuses for the past three months. While Lena had become more independent, she still wanted to spend time with Kara, now, she just plotted on the moment Kara came back into her life, she would keep her… forever. She won't let go for a single second. Kara would be hers and hers only. A knock on the hardwood doors broke her focus on Edge's speech as she saw Kara walking in.

"Hey," Lena casually greeted. Lena looked back at the screen and watched the press briefing. "I hate that sentient bottle of cheap cologne."

Lena moved her screen away and looked Kara right in the eyes. Kara said "You know, James was blindsided, too. He thinks it's his fault for getting in Edge's face."

She set her bag on the ground and started to sit down when Lena spoke up again up.

"Only he would spend that kind of money on a grudge." Lena sighed and continued "Do you think the shareholders will listen to Cat?"

Kara let out a sigh and said "Well, Cat had to put her shares in a blind trust when she became Press Secretary, but I did some digging... and Edge has been quietly buying up shares until today," Lena stood up and walked towards the water carafe. She filled two glasses. "When he put a tender offer to the majority of shareholders."

With a glass in each hand, she turned around and joked "Hey, no more free press."

She walked towards Kara and gave her one of the glasses while Kara explained, "You have invested in his portfolio, so, I figured if you could talk to him, maybe persuade him?"

Lena offered Kara one of the glasses. She let out a long breath and said "Edge doesn't respect any opinion that isn't his own," Lena looked at her glass and put it down. "Especially from a woman."

"Lena," Kara quickly chimed in as she leaned back in her chair,"You helped Supergirl save the world, how hard could one stubborn sexist be?"

Lena grinned and nodded a little, "All right, I'll see what I can do."

Kara stood up, "Thanks."

As Kara began out of the door, Lena quickly followed her a couple of steps and called out, "Hey, stay a bit longer?" Lena gently pled, pulling her in close. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "Where've you been? I feel like you're not here anymore?"

Kara took off her glasses and placed them in her breast pocket, placing her fingers over the bridge of her nose. "I've just been busy."

"Right... um." Lena looked down, before looking back up into Kara's light blue eyes, "I also just- I wanted to say I'm sorry for the part I played in what happened to Mon-El. I'm here for you if you still want that," She lied.

Kara feigned a smiled and said, "No, you did what you had to do. Besides, that was Supergirl's call anyway, not yours." The screen on Lena's desk turned to something about some robbery and Kara pulled herself out of Lena's grasp, "I should get going."

"Yeah, uh, brunch soon?" Kara just nodded and walked out without a single word.

Lena sighed, she hadn't hoped for this. She just hoped that Kara would come around. She always did anyway, so why not now? Lena sat back down in her chair and grabbed her drink. She swirled the contents and muttered to herself.

"Kara Danvers- you are mine." She didn't know how yet, but she needed to make sure Kara was in her debt. Maybe a little liquid courage before she talked to Edge.

The next day on Lena's lunch break, she made her way to Edge's office. He was playing golf with an old scratched up pot that was placed next to his door. As another ball rolled into the pot, Lena stopped the ball with her foot, a move that didn't go unnoticed by Edge.

"Lena in my office twice a day?" He remarked in his usual way, "People are going to start talking."

Lena just stood there, arms crossed and said in a cold voice "Morgan, you have all the charisma of a 90s Michael Douglas flick."

"Awe, now people are really gonna start talking. I know you didn't come all this way to flatter me, did you?" He leaned on his golf club with this smug smile on his face.

"I came because I have a proposition."

He held his golf club up and twirled it around his hand before walking forward and saying "Ooh, good. I do like propositions."

"I know you do. Look, I don't agree with your waterfront development, but you're still the best developer in National City."

He stood too close for her liking as he said, "Let me get you a drink before that compliment leaves a bad taste in your mouth."

Lena just didn't care and continued, trying her hardest to ignore his obnoxiously sophomoric power moves. "Your work is why I invested in your portfolio and continue to do so."

His smug grin faded a little as he said, "Let me guess..." He moved his eyebrows up and down and said in a suggestive tone "You want me to stay away from Catco?"

"Oh, come on, Morgan. Catco isn't good business for you and you know it. There's a city out there that needs to be rebuilt. That's what you are good at, focus on that."

His voice changed into something more cold and authoritative, but Lena didn't move as he said: "You know, you can take the Luthor logo off your name, but people still aren't going to trust you." Lena turned her head to the tide at his remark. "And that's a really easy sentiment to reinforce once I have Catco's editorial under my control. People love to believe what they read."

"Using Catco to defame your enemies and promote your own agenda." Lena stayed silent for some time before she said: "That's despicable."

He scoffed and said "Oh, no," He made a weird face "That's good business."

Through almost gritted teeth she said, "I will see myself out."

That gave her a second reason to make sure Catco was in safe hands. She probably would have bought Catco if he didn't treat her but now she really wanted to do it. That evening, she slowly began to buy up stocks in Catco until she finally had the majority. Until she was Kara Danver's boss. One step closer to having her wife closer.

Lena stood in front of the window, looking down at her phone, ready to call Kara when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Without looking around she said "Come in..." She slowly turned around and saw Kara walking in. She walked to her desk to put down her phone while she said "Oh hey, I was just about to call you."

Almost immediately Kara said "I should've called. I heard about the attack at the unveiling." Kara made her way over to Lena's desk and stood on the other side.

To soothe Kara's fake nerves she said "Oh, no. I'm fine. Supergirl got her man and now we have to discuss ours." Lena nodded and said "I spoke to Edge-"

"Please tell me you convinced him not to buy Catco."

"Well, you can't convince a bully like that of anything."

"So what, Catco is gone?"

Lena looked down and pursed her lips "No," She looked up "I bought it."

It took a second for Kara to react but when she reacted it was worth it. "You're kidding. Are you kidding?"

Lena's nervous look changed into excitement as she made her way to the other side of the desk "Pretty badass, right? I'm just trying in my own way to help my friends."

Kara's mouth slowly fell open as she chuckled, "Lena."

"And I was hoping that you could break the story." This made Kara's face drop in defeat.

"Oh, uh... I actually quit," Kara bluntly explained with a nervous twinge in her voice.

Lena tilted her head to the side, "Oh, well, then un-quit. I can't do this without you. I literally know nothing of running a media empire."

Kara responded with a snarky, "Neither do I."

Lena walked around her table and walked closer to her, "Well, you know more than I do. You studied under Cat. I mean, I trust you. And I-"

Morgan Edge burst into her office putting his hands in his pockets as he instantly began his accusation, "You are more of a lunatic than your brother is."

Before Lena could say anything Kara turned around and defensively said "Excuse me?"

Morgan walked over to Lena, calmly remarking to Kara, "I could ruin you."

Lena stood strong with her arms crossed and spat back, "You are dangerously close to being thrown out by security."

"You know what? I'm gonna go and let you handle," Kara looked Morgan up and down, "this."

Once Kara was out of the room, Morgan continued in his cool tone, "You are going to regret, the day you screwed me over. I sure hope you enjoyed yourself, because now," He stepped close enough so his expensive cologne stung the inside of her nose, "you have all my attention."

Lena tried her hardest not to chuckle, so when she said, "Oh, Edge, like every other woman who has ever had all of your attention, I couldn't care less."

The sound dropped between them so that the only noise in the stainless office was the whipping wind and the busy streets below. Lena felt in her heart that Morgan wasn't sincere about his threat. He was too scared of her to do anything to harm her reputation because unlike his other colleagues, Lena wasn't afraid of him one bit. She imagined this stare down was awkward for anyone outside of the conversation. As Edge opened his mouth, they heard a low whirring and whistling noise from the window. Lena glanced over her shoulder to spot a pair of sleek red boots land gracefully on her balcony.

Kara Zor-El stood with vindication, glaring at Morgan with narrowed eyes, "Miss Luthor... You finished with him?"

Lena grinned and nodded, "He's all yours."

"What do you think you're doing?"

Lena took a few steps back from her rival, leaving him to Supergirl's devices. They both knew who this man was and what he had done at the waterfront. Kara's face twitched into a malicious smile before she grabbed Edge and flashed out of the L-Corp building. Lena sighed as she sat down in her chair and reached for her phone. She opened her text messages and went to her latest conversation with Kara. She quickly sent a text to her reading:

"I bought it for you."

Before she got the better of herself, knowing the risk of telling Kara that part of her story for buying Catco but also knowing that she had to be honest with the woman she loved. About five minutes later she got a surprised response.

"We should talk about it, is edge gone?"

"Yup."

"Be there in 10."

Lena chuckled and cleared her schedule for the rest of the day. She sat in her chair with a glass of whiskey in her hand, if she was going to do this she needed to be a bit more loose-lipped. Kara was true to her word since she arrived about ten minutes later, not bothering to knock in her state.

"So, where were we? Oh, yeah, why me?"

"Want something to drink?"

Kara walked over to one of the chairs and sat down. She shook her head, "No thank you."

Lena just nodded and smiled and took a sip of her whiskey. "So, what brings you here? Probably not business since un-quitting doesn't go that fast."

Kara exclaimed "You bought Catco for me?" A smile formed on Lena's lips as she leaned back in her chair.

Lena crossed her arms and stated "I said that, didn't I? And we both know I don't lie when it comes to you."

Kara began to blush even more than she seemed to be from running back to L-Corp at human speed, "Why?"

Lena chuckled and answered in all seriousness "Kara, who am I not to help you when I have the resources? I wouldn't be worthy of your mere presence if I didn't do this-"

Kara interrupted her by exclaiming "No- Lena! don't think that this whole relationship is built on helping each other. It's about having a great time just talking and things like that. Not about buying 600 million dollars worth of stocks."

Lena shakes her head and said "It was actually 750 million but don't think too much about it, I had other reasons, too. So it wasn't a dent in my income."

Kara shook her head and exclaimed "750 million dollars?! Lena, that's way too much. I- I don't know why you're so nervous about losing me because you won't. I might have been a little distant lately but I have been with everybody. It's just hard sometimes. But if you just stay yourself and wait for me I will come back. But- for now, I am going," Kara stood up and continued "I wish you all the luck in the world with your second company I'll see you on your first day, boss." She winked. Lena just didn't know whether or not Kara meant it. Before she could ask, Kara left it was only Lena in her office. It still went better than she expected.
