One Shot Name: The Best Boss.

Rating: T.

Teaser: Kara has quit CatCo and is going to move overseas, Lena tries to convince her to stay in National City.


Lena sighed as she looked over the paper work to the new company she had just brought.

If anyone asked her why she brought it, she would tell them it was an investment, a way to keep the press free from corruption, which in all truthfulness it partly was. The real and more prominent reason though, was that she had brought CatCo for Kara. She didn't want Kara to have to work underneath that – monster – Morgan Edge. She would do anything she could to protect her best friend from the slim ball of a man, even if that meant spending a ridiculous amount of money buying the company out from underneath him.

She had been excited at the prospect of working with her best friend, at spending more time together after Kara had been so distant since Mon-El had been sent away, but now it seemed that wouldn't be happening.

After Lena had told Kara the news, Kara had told her that she had quit her job earlier that day after a fight with James. Lena had tried to push her for more information on why, promising to make the photographic journalist go through the fun of a disciplinary for upsetting her ace reporter, but Kara had refused to diverge any more information. Opting instead to tell her how she had already accepted a job offer Miss Grant had set up for her abroad.

Lena was happy for her friend, really, she was.

The offer sounded good, great even.

She knew Kara had been struggling, she knew she should have insisted on being there for her more rather than letting the blonde-haired reporter push her away and giving her the space she thought the girl needed. She couldn't help but wonder if she had been there more for her friend, if she had made herself more readily available then maybe that conversation wouldn't have happened and Kara wouldn't be leaving.

Remembering back to when she lost Jack, she could have kicked herself.

Kara had been there even when Lena herself had acted distant trying to shut her out.

Kara hadn't let her do so, and kept coming to her office bringing her dinner and doughnuts and just spending time with her until she was ready to talk and to work past the hurt.

She should have done the same for Kara, but she hadn't. She had let the reporter push her away.

Well, not anymore.

She was going to make sure that Kara knew to never doubt their friendship again, that Kara knew that she would always put her first.

She was going to make sure Kara wanted to stay.

She would get her way.

She was a Luthor after all, and a Luthor always finds a way to get what she wants one way or another.

She had one week.

Seven days, to find a way to make Kara see that leaving National City was not the solution to her problems, that the only way for her to deal with the pain was to stay where she was and let those around her help her.

Kara wouldn't be leaving in a weeks' time, and Lena would be able to live her dream of them working together, two powerful women keeping the media free and truthful.

Day One.

Day one was a disaster.

It was day one for Lena at CatCo as well as day one in Lena's plan she had labelled in her mind as 'make Kara Danvers stay'.

Both had failed miserably.

Kara had been running in and out of work every chance she got until Lena had called her on it, which had resulted in Kara closing off to her even more and Lena having to pull the boss card on her.

She felt terrible, and like a horrible friend for doing that. Especially when at the end of the day Kara apologised to her, telling her that she still had more to deal with from Mon-El's departure than she originally thought she did.

They hugged it out and made up, but Lena could tell this would put even more of a strain on their already breaking friendship that Kara was trying to get away from.

Day one was a failure.

Day Two.

Day two saw some progress, they got the balance of work and friendship right.

Lena paid to have a food cart come to CatCo, a food cart that just happened to have all of Kara's favourite foods on that employees could choice from for free as part of the workers lunch menu Lena had put into to place.

Kara had looked ecstatically amazed by it, while Lena had decided the cart would need to be able to hold more pot-stickers to keep Kara's large appetite at bay.

That didn't matter though, she could afford it after all.

The day had been a great success, Kara's smile seemed that much more real, it gave her hope.

Though in the evening Kara disappeared, Lena had called her to see if the reporter wanted to go out for dinner with her, but she didn't hear anything back.

So, in respects to the plan, day two was another failure overall.

Day Three.

Day three had things going even better at work for both girls.

Kara had apologised for not texting back, explaining a friend of hers had a family emergency and she went to help out but had forgotten her phone in the process.

Kara even had a girl's night at her place.

It was the first time Lena had been back to her best friends flat in weeks and sitting on the floor with her, drinking wine while chatting about non-important stuff felt so natural and so right that she thought things were going to be fine.

Until Sam put her foot in her mouth and asked Kara if she was dating anyone.

Her best friends smile fell from her face quickly before telling Lena's new CEO of L-Corp that her boyfriend had to leave.

After that things had been quiet, the easy conversations made awkward until Alex excused her sister with an excuse that no one really brought, and the night swiftly ended.

Day three was another failure.

Day Four.

Day four was a strange day.

Kara was quiet at work, quiet yet focussed.

When Lena had pulled her aside to see if everything was okay, to see if she was alright, Kara had hugged her tight and told her that she loved her.

It was only a platonic way, that was something Lena was sure of, but it still made her heart jump for joy.

They made dinner plans for that night, which Lena had been excited for, it would allow her to work on her plan. Lena had been about to head out the door to get in the car that waiting for her to take her to pick up the Kara when she received the call from Alex.

Alex had told her how Kara had been taken sick, and that she wouldn't make it tonight as she was currently passed out asleep. She had told Lena not to worry that she would get her sister to call her tomorrow if she was feeling better and that she was sure that Kara would be back into work on Monday morning even if she still wasn't feeling up to it.

Day four's hope had been thrown out the window with that, day four was once again a failure.

Day Five.

Day five was terrible, day five made Lena want to crawl in to a hole and never come back out, or better yet go with Kara when she moved overseas.

Day five saw Lena get accused of making National Cities citizens sick with lead poisoning, it saw her almost get shot, it saw her as a public hate figure again and it saw her almost die in a plane that would have also poisoned the water supply killing thousands of the cities citizens.

The one good thing day five did bring though was Kara.

Kara and her undying faith in Lena's goodness, Kara who roped Sam into helping her find the real reason behind the lead poisoning, Kara who cleared her name, Kara who she loved so much for her positive out look on life.

Though she did wish she hadn't told the reporter that when completely drunk drowning her sorrows in a very expensive bottle of red.

She spent a lot of time with Kara on day five, though she didn't get much time to work her plan, she did get to spend some of the evening with Kara though. Cuddled up together on the couch, Sam next to her on her other side.

She couldn't help the hurt she felt when Kara said they were sisters, she didn't want Kara to be her sister, she wanted Kara to be her everything.

Then Kara had to leave for her actual sister, which worked in the plans favour as Kara then needed some time off to help her sister.

Kara promised to make the time up before she left which Lena was more than willing to accept and agree too. It gave her more time to make her plan work, it gave her more time for Kara to see this is where she needed to be, her sister needed her now more than ever and selfishly Lena knew that would help her cause and she was happy about it.

Not happy that Alex was hurting, but happy that Kara was going to here a little longer.

Day five gave her more time, day five could be seen as a partial success.

Day Six.

Kara was distant again on day six.

Which was both confusing and concerning.

While she had been away with Alex they had spoken a lot on the phone and by text much like they used too, but when Kara came back to work on Thursday she seemed lost once again.

Kara had spent the day in and out of work again clearly distracted, but she did complete all work given to her this time.

It wasn't till the end of the day that Lena learnt as to why the younger reporter had been so out of sorts, and the reason broke her heart.

Firstly for herself, then secondly for her best friend.

Mon-El was back.

Not only was he back, but he was now married.

He was married, and Kara was heartbroken.

Lena forgot the plan for day six and concentrated on being the friend that Kara needed. She took the reporter home, brought them as many different types of junk food she could think of and let her best friend cry it out on her shoulder until she fell asleep.

She stayed the night holding her best friend close while Kara clung to her, making Lena wish this was what it would be like everyday even though in her heart she knew it was unlikely to ever happen again.

It was on day six she realised there was very little hope left.

Kara would want to leave National City even more now than she had done beforehand.

Day six was a heart-breaking failure.

Day Seven.

Lena dreaded day seven, she didn't want to face it or Kara as she knew there was very little chance of convincing her best friend to stay.

She knew that even more when her best friend turned up exhausted at the end of the day, after being MIA all day, following an apparent lead, that made her look as though she had just been dragged through hell and back.

Lena had given up hope when she saw Kara packing the items on her desk up in a box, she knew nothing she could do or say was going to make Kara stay in National City.

She knew it was pointless even trying, but she would be damned if she let the reporter leave without knowing the truth of how she really felt.

"Am I that bad a boss that you are leaving already?" She asked making her way over to where Kara was finishing up packing the items on her desk away in a box.

Kara looked up startled before smiling sadly, "You know I think you are a great boss," she replied as leant against the desk tiredly, "I'm going to miss this place," she continued looking around at the building, "but, not half as much as I'm going to miss you."

"Well, there is a solution to that," Lena began, walking around to lean against the desk sitting side by side with Kara, so close that their shoulders touched. "You could stay." she continued, bumping her shoulder against Kara's.

Kara chuckled in response before resting her head against Lena's shoulder, "I can't Lee. Part of me really wants to, but I just can't. I still feel so broken inside, I feel like I've lost myself, I need to find myself again, but I can't do that here. People expect me to be something and someone I don't know how to be anymore, I don't know who Kara is anymore. The pressure of who I used to be is, it's just too much. I need a fresh start to be me again."

"I get that, probably more than anyone else," Lena said, resting her cheek against the top of Kara's head. "When I moved here it was for the same reason, people only saw me as a Luthor, lets be honest most still do. Slowly people have come to see that I am more than just another Luthor, and most of that is down to you. Your belief in me, allowed me to believe in myself. I'm going to be completely honest with you, and I'm going to be incredibly selfish." She continued moving to stand in front of Kara.

"I don't want you to leave, every part of me is screaming to not let you walk out that door right now because I am terrified that if you do, I will never see you again and that is something I couldn't live with." Lena said honestly, she could see Kara looked shocked by this, she knew Kara would protest about what she had just said but she needed for her best friend to hear it.

"Lena I will always-"

"It won't be the same and you know it. I'm sorry Kara I know this is selfish of me to do this to you, especially when you are going through so much, but, I need to do this." Lena continued, cutting Kara off before she could protest like she knew the reporter would do.

She watched as Kara's eyebrows furrowed in confusion before taking a deep breath, "All this week I have been trying to think of ways to convince you to stay and nothing has worked. I understand why you want to go, why you feel the need to, but I'll be damned if I let you leave without knowing how I feel about you." Lena said, before taking a pause to collect her thoughts. "I told you once that you, Kara Danvers, you are my hero. What I failed to mention is that you are more than that to me. You have wriggled your way into my heart so silently that I didn't even realise it had happened until a few days ago, but I have fallen deeply, madly, completely and utterly in love with you."

"I love you, and if there is any chance that you feel even the tiniest remote bit the same way then I beg you to stay because I really think we could be something amazing."

The room was silent, Kara was staring at Lena like a fish out of water, while Lena stared back with hope and longing until she couldn't take it anymore.

Closing the distance between them Lena held Kara's face gently in her hands, "If this is something you could see yourself enjoying, then you need to stay," she whispered softly before bringing their lips together slowly and passionately.

To begin with Kara was unresponsive but after a few seconds she began to react by slowly bringing her arms up to incircle Lena's waist as she kissed her back, the kiss continuing until the need for air became apparent causing them both to pull back slowly.

"…wow…" Kara whispered breathlessly, eyes still closed and mouth still slightly open, the sight and comment making Lena chuckle, the response was just so Kara she should have expected it.

"Wow indeed," Lena replied with a smirk, the fingers on her one hand stroking the reporter cheek softly as Kara's eyes slowly opened and she took a deep breath in and out.

They stayed in this position until Kara jumped up grabbing her phone.

Lena's heart strings tugged painfully as she watched her best friend rush to the other side of the desk, the actions causing her heart to feel as though it was breaking in her chest until she heard Kara mutter the words she had been wishing for all work.

"I need to cancel my flight, and I need to call Miss Grant, I hope Alex hasn't sold my apartment yet and oh god my job! What I am going to do? How am I going to pay for anything without a job? Lena what am I going to do?!" Kara began to ramble, panic setting in causing Lena to laugh loudly making Kara look up to her in confusion.

Calming her laughter Lena raised an eyebrow as she took a seat on the desk again leaning over to give Kara a small show of her cleavage in the process, making a mental note of the blush she saw appear when doing so, "Darling, I don't think your boss will have any problem with taking you back."

Kara nodded once, then twice, taking a few breaths to calm herself before smiling, a large and happy smile, "Your right, my boss is the best boss in the world."
