You're how old!?

Lena had always been smart, smart enough to be bumped up a few grades in school. When she started working for L-Corp she had only been twenty-one. Imagine that. CEO of a multibillion company at 21. Most people are still in school at that age, universities or colleges, but not Lena. She had been offered the CEO position when she turned eighteen but decided she wanted at least three or so years to enjoy adulthood before being trapped in a job like that.

Most of the people on the board are well into their forties or late thirties so, while they don't really know any better, she knew that there was a huge age difference when she was throwing around sarcastic retorts at the sexist remarks. Try seeing them ace a science test when they were nine.

"Miss Luthor, I just think that—" Lena interrupted him.

"Listen, listen. Why should I make alien detection devices for homes? Hmm? So, what, you- you move into a new house and greet your neighbours— oh, but look. Your threshold is going red. Ah, alien," Lena replied dryly, she had her hands folded and was trying not to fidget in her seat. "I think it's a bad idea and L-Corp will not be funding or building it. Okay?" the man nodded, eyeing Lena with resentment.

She couldn't care less.

"Good, now I believe this meeting was supposed to end ten minutes ago. I have many things to do so goodbye and thank you for your pitches," everyone got up and was about to leave when Lena remembered something. "Oh, Jacob!" the man turned around.

"Yes Miss Luthor?"

"Come to my office on Thursday next week. Around 4-5pm," she instructed. "I quite liked your idea and I think we can build on it," he grinned and thanked her before leaving.

The man she had rejected scoffed and slammed his paper shut. He mumbled things like "your brother would have made it" as he got ready to leave. Lena held in her comment and walked off, anger rising. Thankfully, she was seeing a certain perky blond for lunch in fifteen minutes so her mood may turn around.

"Wait, he wanted something that will tell you if an alien has entered your home?" Kara questioned, shock on her face and also sadness. Lena put it down to the fact she knew Kara cared about everyone that was on Earth. However, the real reason is that Kara knew her identity would be screwed if that happened. "Unbeliev— actually, no, it is very believable," she corrected.

Lena chuckled and took a sip of her drink, "Yes. Especially from him," Lena said. "Did you know that he refused to talk to Jack?" Kara shook her head.

"No. Why? Jack was great. I mean, yeah, I didn't know him long but you trusted him so he must have been good," Kara rambled. That was true though. Lena does have trust issues and she only lets certain people get to know the real her; Kara being on if the lucky people. She also knew that she dated Jack at some point.

Lena shook her head. "It's a stupid reason, that man is just so stuck up and narrow minded. It's because Jack looked different," Lena explained. "The jackass didn't like him because of that. I'd always apologise to Jack after any encounter – thank god it wasn't many – but he would aways be so kind and saying it 'want your fault Lena' every time," Lena explained. Honestly, there were so many times Lena could have seriously hurt Mr Trent but she kept it in and instead hurried meetings along.

Kara scoffed and ate another potsticker. "Where I come from, the way you born is the way you're born," they realised their topic was getting quite angering and wanted to change it so they could finish their lunch.

Suddenly, Lena's phone went off and she groaned. "What?" Kara asked.

"Mr Trent is asking for my presence," Lena scoffed and typed a reply. "Seriously! That man is well in his mid forties and he is such an immature baby! I am twenty-four years old and I more maturity and- and respect than that racists, sexist man!" she ranted.

Kara went to reply, went to calm her down but something hit her. "Wait! You're only twenty four!" Kara yelled out in surprise. Lena chucked nervously and looked around.

"Yea- yeah. No need to yell," Lena murmured. Kara stared at her in shock. "What? It's just a number,"

"Yeah, a number that is lower than I thought!" Kara replied. Lena hid a laugh and took another drink. "I thought you were older!"

"I have no idea whether I should take that as a compliment or not?" Lena commented. "Should I be thanking you for being impressed by my maturity and work …or should I find new skin products and get a new barber?" she added. Kara let out an unexpected laugh and choked on her drink.

"Noo. You're beautiful Lena," Kara replied. "Honestly. The only reason I thought you were older was because of your- your mentality and- and the way you respond to things. Like you could become a model if the whole CEO thing doesn't work out," Lena blushed and quickly changed the topic.

Kara sat at her couch when she heard a knock on the door. She x-ray visioned it and saw her sister with her girlfriend. Ouch, Maggie looked a little banged up. "It's open!" she called, muting the television (no, she wasn't watching the news so she could see Lena get interviewed about a latest project).

"Hey Kara," Alex greeted, helping Maggie sit on a stool. Alex went over to her sister and Maggie slyly went into the fridge to get some beer she knew Alex out there for whenever they came for game night. "My girlfriend is getting my beer from the fridge isn't she?" she whispered to Kara; the alien nodded with an amused grin. "She's dead," Alex said, pretending to whisper.

"You're not gonna kill your injured girlfriend are you?" Maggie asked playfully when she swallowed some beer. Alex rolled her eyes and sat at the couch.

"Please, you've twisted your ankle. You'll be fine in a few weeks," Alex replied. Kara soon got bored of their conversation and went back on what Lena said.

"Did you guys know that Lena was younger than me?" Kara asked out the blue. Maggie and Alex stopped their conversations and replied: "no" "yes" respectively. "How do you know?" Kara asked her sister.

"When she came to National City I did a background check on her — I focusing her birthday," Alex replied nonchalantly. Kara rolled her eyes — common theme for the Danvers Sisters.

"Wait. Little Luthor is younger than Little Danvers?" Maggie asked. "Damn. Now I feel sorry for arresting her. She feels like a juvenile now that I know she's younger than you," Maggie said. The two noticed that she had just downed her drink but didn't comment on it.

"Don't tell her that," laughed Kara.

"Miss Luthor, should you be driving that? Do you have a license? I would hate to have to put you in Juvie for grand theft auto and that shiz," Maggie said with a smirk as she and Alex stopped outside the building Kara lived in. Lena got out her car and glared at the dimpled detective.

"You told them?" Lena whined when they got to Kara's apartment. Kara bit her lip as she held in a giggle. Alex and Maggie were laughing as Lena stood in the middle of Kara's apartment.

"Careful Kara," Alex started. "She's a bit cranky. Might need a nap," Kara saw Lena's ears go red and her cheeks go flush and laughed at that joke.

Lena groaned again and sat on the sofa. "You are all mean," she huffed, crossing her arms. Kara sat down next to her and put a lollipop in her mouth — she has candy from halloween left over; so what? Lena glared holes in her. She knew what Kara was pretending the lollipop was and went to scold her when she saw the mirth in her eyes. Something that had been seriously lacking ever since Supergirl pressed the button and Mike (or was it Mon-El?) had to leave. She hoped he went away and didn't die from lead poisoning. Mostly because she knew Kara believes that and if Supergirl had lied and he actually died then that wouldn't fair. It wouldn't be fair because she deserves closure.

"Lena? Hello?" Kara waved her arm up and down and the Irish woman looked at her. "You okay? You spaced out for a little bit there," Lena nodded.

"Yeah …yeah I'm good Kara. Now, are we going to watch Slasher or what?" the two other woman came over and sat at the other end of the sofa; Maggie was half curled on Alex and Lena had her head resting on Kara's shoulder.

They were three minutes into the first episode when Alex said, "Don't worry Luthor. We'll leave the lights on when you go to sleep,"

"Aleeeeex!" she groaned, "Kara. I want to kill your sister!" Kara and Maggie chuckled.

At game night, it's Sanvers that lets it loose how young their best player at puzzle games was. They were playing Call of Duty as Winn brought his PlayStation, and Maggie said: "hey Lena, are you gonna be alright playing this?" to which Alex replied with "yeah, wouldn't want you getting scared because you saw somebody get blown up,"

Lena just thought not again but then she realised that it wasn't just the Danvers Sisters (because come on, Maggie was practically Kara's sister) in the room. "Why would she be scared?" Winn asked as he handed our four controllers; one to Kara, Lena, Maggie and Alex. James watched with a raised eyebrow and a lager In his hand.

"Because she's the baby of the group," Alex replied. Lena looked down and played with her hands, a Kara thing that she picked up.

"How? Winn and Kara are twenty-seven," James asked.

"I'm twenty-four. That's how," Lena told him. Why were they making such a big deal about this? She thought. Literally no one cared how young she was. As long as she got her job done and didn't screw up of kill anyone. "Look. I've got L-Corp business that I should att-attend to," she had to get out of their.

It was too much. So what if she was the 'baby of the group'? Maggie and Alex were around 28-29.

"Well done guys," Kara said dryly as she stood up.

"What?" Alex asked. "She is the baby of the group. She should get used to this,"

"But she isn't. Lena didn't exactly grow up with love so all your babying you've been doing the past few weeks if probably overwhelming her," Kara replied, protectiveness shining through her blue eyes. "She's been through so much already at that age. I came out as Supergirl when I was a few weeks shy of my twenty-fifth birthday so I wasn't even that young when I was fighting my aunt. She's probably been fighting with Lillian her whole life,"

That's all they did for a month, however. Teased her about her age. They made it all playful and backed off at times but it was a joke everyone had gotten comfortable with. They also laughed at the fact that Kara gets overexcited because her favourite film just released a sequel and she is 27 yet Lena – at 24 – can run her own company spectacularly and deal with her own issues.

Then Lena found out that, despite all the jokes here and there, she had three people who really love her like their own.

Maggie, Lena, Alex and Kara were walking through National City. They were going to CatCo so Kara and Lena could gab some things when they heard a scoff and a mutter of "there's the sister" as they walked by a couple. Alex spun around faster than even Kara felt she could manage and stormed over to the couple. "What did you just say?" she demanded, glaring at the man and woman. The person who had said it – the man – rolled his eyes and his wife buttered in.

"She will be the end of us. Forget Supergirl causing a wreck and killing us all with debris, Miss Luthor over there ("hiding behind two people like a coward" muttered the man causing Lena to flinch. Kara hugged her tightly and Maggie looked seconds away from grabbing her gun and shooting them) will probably find a way to kill us all!" she finished with a glare directed at the youngest Luthor.

Lena was trying to put her Luthor Face on but Kara's arms were so warm and comforting around her and she heard maggie mutter "that bitch is dead" so that got a small laugh.

"What are you laughing at Luthor?!" spat the dead man walking. He stepped forward menacingly and Lena took a slight step back. Kara and Maggie stepped in front of her and then Alex suddenly pushed him to the side. He banged into the wall and glared at Alex. "Bitch. You won't be defending that thing when she kills you all," he Weber it walk away when his wife added:

"Sweetie, they're probably doing the whole keep by our friends close but enemies closer thing. I wouldn't get too attached," she then left with a disgusted face as she had to walk past the Luthor.

Lena didn't even realise a few tears had dripped down her cheeks until Kara wiped them away gently and she was being pulled into the CatCo building. She was being dragged into a room she didn't even know and that's when she saw all the computer. Kara said something about it being her "first ever base" but she wasn't listening.

There was another person in National City that made it abundantly clear that they hated her and wanted her to burn in hell.

"Lena," Kara's gentle voice filtered into her ears. She looked at her and found that she kneeling down in front of her and the other woman were standing next to her. "I am so sorry for what they said to you,"

Lena shook her head. "It's fine. They hate my family and they have perfectly good reason to. I just- I hate being reminded that I am one of the most hated people in National City — probably Metroplis too. Hell, why not the entire world?!" she ranked. Kara grabbed her hands.

"Lena. If they knew you how we do, they would change how they see things," Alex said.

"No. They wouldn't," Lena muttered.

"Then believe this Little Luthor," Maggie said loudly as she walked closer to Lena. "You are family. Okay? Now, I have shitty parents too. Maybe not on a Luthor scale but I was kicked out when I was fourteen because I was a lady lover and- and that actually helped me. I grew up with an aunt and it reminded me that not everyone will be so welcoming.

But it also made me realise that not everyone is like that. I had my aunt. She loved me regardless of who I loved. Then I met this pair (she gestured to Kara and Alex) and my life was whole again. Their love filled that gap that had been missing for years and we want to fill yours. So what you had crappy parents. You now have Kara, she is basically a very good friend and a puppy all in one go. You have Alex and I. We are the cooler, older sisters. We protect the younger ones," Maggie said firmly. Lena felt tears show and tried to wipe them away without bothering her mascara.

"You can cry, Lena. It's the whole point of being human. Show your emotions," Kara said softly, feeling the irony of the human comment. Lena chuckled and stopped trying to wipe her eyes.

Lena was hugged tightly by Kara …and then Alex …and then Maggie. Lena smiled at them, suddenly it wasn't so bad being the youngest.
