Lena's desk was drowning under huge stacks of paperwork and her office was a mess. There where used Scotch glasses on the coffee table, crumpled paper wraps from takeout lay on the floor and the couch pillows where scattered across the room. It looked like a hurricane had run over her office. The sad part was, it was her fault it looked that way. There's a reason they say you should separate your personal life from business. Lena clearly failed for that matter.

Anyway, she had work to do. Quickly. Because in 30 minutes she has a meeting with an investor. And she couldn't have her office look like she was a compulsive hoarder.

Lena had to admit that her mother was right. She belongs to L-Corp and not to Catco. It was fun to work with Kara and James but at the end of the day, it didn't challenge her like the work at L-Corp did. And since she broke off with James it was better when they worked at different buildings.

Now she needed to focus on the upcoming meeting. She was planning to expand L-Corp and this investor was her only chance to let that happen. The investor was in the telecommunication business. He was looking for a new way to make the internet even more easy to access. With a unique technology that would ace out the competition, the investor could leave his competition behind and build a strong brand for himself.

And that's Lena's cue. Lena developed a technology which could provide WiFi via the power supply system. People wouldn't need a router anymore or a mobile contract. Wherever there's electricity, they'll have a WiFi connection.

All she has to do was selling the technology to the investor but to accomplish that, Lena needs to make a good impression.

She was rushing through the room, picking up the trash and putting everything back in place. Usually the janitors kept everything in order but Lena had send them away the evening before, because she was working late. At least that's what she had planned to do but who could have known how the evening had ended.

Lena pushed the paperwork in her crammed drawers, when her assistant Jessie walked in the door.

»Ms. Luthor, Mr. Garmer is here for you. Shall I send him in already?«, asked Jessie. Her look got a little bewildered when she saw Lena out of breath, fumbling with her drawers.

»Ehm… No, give him the runaround, please. I need five minutes to calm down.«, she explained to her assistant and let herself sink in the office chair.

Jessie grinned and nodded. »As you wish. Oh, you might want to fix your hair. You look a bit like you've been in a wind tunnel.«

Lena cursed as she took a look on her smartphone. She put back a few stray strands of her raven hair and straightened her blazer. This was all Supergirl's fault! Or Kara's, depending on who you ask.

But there was no time left to blame Kara. Mr. Garmer entered the room and Lena put on her business mask. She was trained to act like that since she came to the Luthor family. And though her mother didn't see it, Lena had perfected it and it had helped her to achieve everything she had. Okay, maybe the Luthor name had helped a little too, but that didn't mean Lena hasn't worked for it.

»Mr. Garmer! It's a pleasure to meet you. I was really looking forward to this meeting.«, Lena said putting her hand forth to shake hands with the older man. He was shorter than her with a bald patch and a potbelly.

The man ignored her hand and went straight to the chairs in front of her desk. He dropped himself in the chair and stared out of the window.

Lena suppressed a sigh and rolled her eyes. She had met a lot of men like him in her career and they'd all looked down on her because she was a woman. Every single one of them thought she didn't have it in her to do business but Lena loved to prove them wrong.

»Save your flowers of speech. I'm just here because your company is my last chance to get something new. But don't waist my time. If you keep playing for time I'll leave right now.«, growled Mr. Garmer and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Lena was sick of him already but she really needed his money. She faked a smile and returned to her seat.

»Thank you for your patience so far, Mr Garmer. I'll tell you everything about L-Corps technology and how it'll improve your product line-up, right away.«, Lena promised.

She pitched her technology like a boss. And she could tell how impressed Mr. Garmer was. But she decided to turn the tables and took the matter in her own hands.

»Well, thank you for your time Mr. Garmer but I'm afraid our time is over. I'm expecting the next potential buyer in a few minutes.«, Lena said confident and showed Mr. Garmer the door.

»But what about the terms? Ms. Luthor, please cancel that meeting. I'm sure we can find an agreement!«, tried Mr. Garmer but Lena showed no mercy. She said her goodbye and returned to her desk.

There was no other buyer and there was no other meeting. It was all just strategic and it clearly worked.

Once she leaned back in her chair, Lena heard a familiar sound on her balcony. She turned around and saw Supergirl entering her office through the glass door. She had her hands on her hips and held her head high.

Lena watched her until she stood right in front of her.

»Supergirl. How can I help you?«, Lena asked with a smirk.

Their eyes stayed locked for a moment before Supergirl smiled. »I came by to see if there's still a mess in your office. And to apologize for it.«

Lena nodded. »Okay. Apology accepted but you still owe me one since I had to clean it up all by myself.«

Supergirl raised her hands in defense. »I would have helped you but National City's criminals didn't want me to.«

Lena shook her head. »How impolite of those criminals. Keeping National City's hero from cleaning up her own mess.«

»Indeed! I'll talk to them about it.«, Supergirl promised with a serious look on her face.

»So, what can I really do for you?«, asked Lena friendly. Supergirl walked over and handed her a piece of metal. It was countersunk and had sharp edges. It felt cold like metal but it had blue spots and didn't look like it was from earth.

»What is this?«, asked Lena and took an even closer look at it.

»That's why I came here in the first place. It was part of an alien weapon but my team wasn't able to analyze the material. I was hoping you could help me with that.«

»I'll look into it.«, promised Lena and stood up. Supergirl came closer until she was right in front of Lena.

»Is it okay when I come back tonight? For the results?« Supergirl asked with a low undertone in her voice.

»Since when do you ask for permission to fly by?« teased Lena with a playful smirk.

»Since I'm hoping for a little bit more than just results. Maybe with some potstickers, to make amends for the mess I've left?«

Lena chuckled. How did she not see that Kara was Supergirl? And how did Kara not know that she knew?

Lena had found out about Kara when she had been poisoned and Kara had flown her to her sister Alex for help. At first, she thought it was a dream but when Kara acted strange, Lena knew Kara was Supergirl. But she'd never told Kara that she was aware of it.

»You know what's funny? My best friend Kara loves potstickers just as much as you do. Sometimes you really remind me of her.« said Lena and acted innocent. She could see the pure horror on Supergirl's face. Lena tried hard not to laugh.

»What a funny coincidence, isn't it?«, she added and watched Supergirl relax.

Supergirl rubbed her neck nervously. »It is. Very funny.«

Lena decided to let her off the hook and stopped teasing. She gave Supergirl her brightest smile.

»Potstickers sound good. And I'm hoping the mess will be just as good as it was last night.«

Supergirl stepped closer, their chests just inches apart. »Oh, I'm counting on it.« she said with a low, sexy voice before she slung her arms around Lena's waist and pulled her close for a deep, passionate kiss.

Lena enjoyed the foretaste of later, then she leaned back and smirked. »Now go save the city!«

Supergirl smiled and let go of her. She left the way she came in and left Lena by herself.

Lena smiled and returned to her chair. She couldn't await tonight. Lena's fling with Kara, or Supergirl, started a few weeks ago, after she'd left James. It was a late night in her office when Supergirl came by to check on her. They talked and joked and had a really good time. Lena didn't know how it happened but they ended up having sex on her couch. And it was amazing!

Since that night Supergirl would show up at random nights and they'd sleep together. It was a welcomed distraction for Lena and she had to admit that Kara was very good in bed. Way better than you would expect from a fidgety, innocent girl that blushes every time someone makes a dirty joke.

Lena sighed and returned her focus back to work. She had to get ahead of that paperwork and had to analyze that weird metal before Supergirl would return. Although she couldn't wait any longer!
