After having read the email from L-Corp about her interview tomorrow Kara started getting ready to look for the apartments that she was interested in.

First she went to the one that was closer to the center of the city and therefore closer to her sister's apartment. It was on the 8th floor and was consisted of one bedroom which was quite simple for her tastes and didn't have a walk-in closet as she would have preferred, one guestroom, one bathroom, the kitchen was quite nice although it appeared that a renovation would be needed and the area which she thought about making a lab wasn't as large as she expected. So, after she talked with the landlord she informed him that she was kind of interested but will call him later today after she checked one more place if she was interested on not.

She really hoped that the other apartment would live to most of her expectations.

And so she went to the other one that was a little farther away from the center. When she finally entered she was shocked pleasantly. It was more like a penthouse. It was on the 2nd floor out three and the building looked quite recently either built or renovated. First she entered the living room which was fully-furnished with two black leather couches, a 54'' TV and other basic, modern furniture but Kara instantly fell in love with the fireplace and the floor to ceiling windows that offered one of the most amazing views she had ever witnessed. The kitchen was also amazing with sleek ebonized-oak cabinetry, matching flooring, and black granite counters that lent a moody elegance to the revamped kitchen.

The master-bedroom was quite spacious and had a walk in closet as she desired and was connected with the master-bathroom that had both a bathtub and a shower, something that was always a plus.

The guestroom was ok. She just wanted one in case her sister and Maggie decided to ever spend the night or if Eliza, her foster mother, ever visited to have a place to stay, so she didn't gave a lot of attention on it.

Then came the empty room she intended as her office, which was as spacious as she wanted, with white walls to lighten the room and the same floor to ceiling windows as those in the living room.

After that she went to the room she intended to have as a lab. After speaking with the landlord about what she wanted to do with it and discussed all safety precautions she was enthralled by the room. It had a lot of potential and she couldn't stop imaging what will it look like after it's finished.

Finally there was one last room which she thought about making it into a gym or place to place to paint.

To summarize she was in love with this place. All that was left was to make an offer which she did since she was financially well-off. She was informed that she will receive the final answer tomorrow or later today and if it was positive that they could also sign all the needed contracts.

After the apartment hunting came to an end, Kara finally returned home to her sister's apartment. She was thoroughly exhausted. When she opened the door the first thing she saw was her sister sitting on the countertop with Maggie between her legs heavily making out.

Alex and Maggie were startled when they heard a small shriek. They thought and hoped that wherever Kara went that she would be back later.

"What's up little D.? Where have you been?" asked Maggie. The sisters were still both blushing out of embracement while Maggie was cool about the situation and had a full welcome dimpled smile on her face.

"Oh God, can't you just keep your hands from each other for a few hours? Seriously guys" replied Kara still in shock of what she almost witnessed.

"Well it's not my fault that my wife is so hot and irresistible" said Maggie winking and pecking Alex on the lips making the latter more flushed before going to the fridge to grab three beers for all of them.

"So where have you been?" asked Alex, curious about the day her sister had.

"Well actually, although I really wanted to surprise you with both things when they were finalized and I was 100% sure, I just can't wait any more" said Kara full of excitement "So… I applied for L-Cop! How cool is that! I really hope to get the job and secondly…" she waited a few seconds to add a dramatic effect "I also found the perfect apartment. It's kind of a little far from here unfortunately, but it has the best…" Alex stopped her sister's rumble by placing her hand on her arm squeezing lightly.

"Hey breathe. Sometimes I worry you're gonna pass out from lack of oxygen"

"As I was saying… It has the best room for…" continued Kara, describing as best as she could the apartment she was interested in. In the middle of her long description a call came from the landlord informing her that the apartment was as good as hers.

"Let's order some pizza to celebrate" declared Alex.

"Vegan for me babe" added Maggie

"And don't forget pot stickers. Can't have a party without pot stickers" said Kara full of excitement due to the food and the good news she just received.

"How could I forget?" replied Alex rolling her eyes.

All people close to Kara's life knew of her love of pot stickers. When she first tried them out it were about a year after she was adopted by the Danvers. Ever since then, it became her favorite food, her one true love as Kara would like to say. Even in expensive restaurants she didn't shy from ordering them.

And so while they were enjoying their food and beers, they started talking about their day.

"You know, you didn't have to move out so soon. I will miss you" after a small nudge by her wife Alex added "We will miss you"

"Hey, it's not like we won't see each other. I mean we live in the same city" said Kara, trying to relieve her sister.

"Ok, you're right. Goodnight sis" said Alex kissing her softly on her temple and started heading to her bedroom.

"Goodnight little D." wished her Maggie mimicking her wife.

"Night guys" replied Kara getting ready to sleep herself on the couch. She couldn't wait, for the next day to arrive.

~~~X~~~

The morning came way faster than Kara thought possible. It wasn't because Kara felt anxious. Quite the opposite actually, she felt ready to start the day and turn a page of her life story to a fresh chapter. A new adventure as she liked to see the whole situation she was in.

She got up quite early and went to the kitchen in order to make herself some coffee. She was also one of those people who couldn't function in the mornings with their dose of caffeine.

Alex and Maggie woke up abruptly due to an emergency on both of their jobs.

"Good morning. Sorry we can't have breakfast with you Kara but we really have to go like right now. Good luck for today" said Alex leaving quickly after kissing her sister on her cheek.

"Good luck. Show them who's the boss" wished Maggie also in a hurry. Even her shirt had a few buttons mismatched but she didn't seem to care.

"Thanks guys have a nice day" she waved at them while they exited the door.

After she finished her morning coffee and eaten her breakfast which was consisted of cereals and a toast she took a quick shower and she started looking for clothes.

She finally decided on black tailored skinny trousers that fitted her perfectly, and a nice blazer with its sleeves rolled up on almost all the way of her elbows, that she usually wore on business meetings. She also chose a white sleeveless blouse. As for shoes she chose her favorite brown-grey oxfords to complete her look. She wasn't a fan of heels at all.

After getting dressed she applied her make-up, choosing natural colors that she knew that suited her and had her hair was straight down.

Doing a final check-up of herself she picked up her purse and started heading for L-Corp.

~~~X~~~

At 8:55 Kara arrived at L-Corp.

After she passed security she headed to the reception.

"Hi, I have an interview in about five minutes regarding the R&D Department. Where do I go?" asked Kara politely.

"Good morning miss", replied the receptionist. "What is your name? I also need your ID for security reasons"

"Oh, sure" replied Kara and started searching her bag for her ID hoping that she remembered to bring it with her "Well I am Kara Danvers… and here" she continued presenting her ID to the receptionist.

Kara was given explanatory directions to the office of Emily Morrison the head of HR who would conduct the interview.

~~~X~~~

Lena arrived at L-Corp earlier than usual, which was REALLY early. She told herself that it was because she was really busy today but deep inside she knew that she was really excited to meet Dr. Danvers.

After working for 2 hours on some reports, she headed to the office where the said interview would take place. She chatted up with Emily while waiting to pass the hour watching the minutes pass when there was a soft knock on the door.

~~~X~~~

Kara finally arrived at said office. She was a little nervous. She really wanted that job and she wanted a new beginning. The thing was that changes always kind of scared her and she knew that this one was huge. This one kind of finalized her moving on from her ex-fiancé. So she took a deep breath and looked at her watch.

8:59 perfect and knocked lightly on the door.

"Hi, I am here for an interview, Kara Danvers" introduced herself Kara with a smile on her face.

"Hello Dr. Danvers, I am Ms. Morrison" she opened the door fully and let Kara in and after the blonde scientist entered she introduced her to the CEO "And this is the CEO of L-Corp, Lena Luthor who will be a part of this interview"

Of course Kara recognized the young CEO and scientist. She read many articles regarding her business and science accomplishments. She didn't expect her to also be a part of the interview.

She was way more beautiful than the pictures she had seen. The first thing she noticed was the color of her eyes, a magical green that took her breath away. The CEO was gorgeous and was dressed in a black pencil skirt and blazer along with a red shirt. Her pair of black Louboutin with a red sole added an air of authority to the CEO as well as an appeal. Her long raven hair was straight as well and she wore her signature red lipstick. Kara was taken by the woman. She was so beautiful but she couldn't do anything, not with her boss again since she saw how that ended, but she couldn't help being mesmerized by the woman. She couldn't though deny that she felt a pull to the woman.

Lena was also extremely pleased. She never met or saw Kara since there were no pictures of her because she preferred it that way. She thought she was beautiful and out of this world. When their eyes met, it was like she came under a spell and felt a small pull to the young blonde. Her blue-grey eyes were truly mesmerizing and reminded her of the ocean.

After pleasantries were exchanged and hands were shaken the interview finally started.

When most of the questions of the interview were answered, came the one which Kara dreaded to come and hoped that she wouldn't stutter while she answered it.

"Why have you left your previous job?" asked Ms. Morrison.

"It was for personal reasons only. There was nothing wrong with my work there or with the personnel. It was my decision to move from Gotham in search for something new. I am really appreciative of the time I spent at Kane In. and I don't regret it." answered Kara without stuttering which she pleasantly surprised herself since she was reminded for a second of Kate.

"Why do you want this lob?" was the last question.

"Well, I love to work as a scientist but most of all I want to help people. To tell you the truth I searched other similar companies for a similar job but only this one was so motivated on helping and making the life of people easier and not had a goal exclusively for profit. That's what I want to do, to offer, to help." replied passionately Kara.

Both Emily and Lena were impressed by Kara's answers and after a silent talk between the two it was agreed.

"Congratulations Dr. Danvers. Welcome officially to L-Corp" congratulated Lena shaking her hand.

"Congratulations Dr. Danvers. After you sign these papers here" handing Kara a small stack of papers Ms. Morrison continued "you will work as the head of the R&D department".

"That's great, thank you. I will try my best" replied Kara with a huge smile on her face.

"When do I start?" she asked curious.

"You can start tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. sharp" replied Ms. Morrison.

And then suddenly the doors burst open and entered a brunette with slightly waved hair and brown soulful eyes. She wore black suit pants with a black blazer, a light green shirt and 4 inch dark green heels.

"Lena there you are" said the brunette "I've been looking everywhere. You need to sign this now. There was a problem that was fixed so don't worry and then this has to be sent in like twenty minutes so please sign"

"Ok Sam, relax. And here…" after signing and giving the paper back to Sam, the brunette went to leave without noticing the other faces in the room when Lena stopped her.

"Sam before you leave let me introduce you to our new head of R&D. Samantha Arias this is Dr. Kara Danvers" She introduced her CFO to the new head of R&D.

It was then that the brunette noticed the new face and her heart missed a beat. She thought the blonde was like a greek goddess. So after checking her out without really realizing she was doing so she gave her hand to blonde to shake. She noticed the muscles on her arms and she felt like the room suddenly was hot.

"You can call me Sam" she said with a little subtle flirty tone after regaining her senses and ability to talk.

"Then call me Kara as well" replied Kara, blushing a little. What is it with this place? Am I gonna work with models only she thought. She found the brunette almost as beautiful as the raven-haired. She also checked the CFO out without knowing that she was doing the same to her.

Lena was watching this interaction between the two women and fell something akin to jealousy inside but she thought it was because Kara was interested in Sam more than in her and Lena wanted to know her for a long time due to them being both scientists and yet something seemed to be happening between her and Sam.

"Sam don't you have to go?" reminded Lena her CFO, who gave her a questioning look "the paper? That has to be delivered in ten minutes?"

That brought Sam back to reality and broke the spell she was in "Right, well it was nice to meet you Kara. Would you like maybe to grab a coffee to know each other? I would like to help you with anything you need and get to know you"

"Sure, how about tomorrow, let's say after work?" asked Kara. She thought Sam looked Ok as a person and wanted to get to know her even as a friend. It wouldn't hurt to have a friend in this city other than Alex and Maggie.

"Ok, see you tomorrow and congratulations on the job" replied Sam and exited the office glancing one last time back at the blonde goddess.

After Sam left, Kara signed the papers and was briefed on what was expected of her in the next days and left saying her thanks and goodbyes to the CEO and Ms. Morrison.
