Chapter 6

Lena had been feeling ill all day. She just put it down as exhaustion from working for 48hours but she knew deep down she needed to go home. However, she wouldn't. She is a stubborn as a mule when it comes to anything but tell her that she is sick and that she needs to rest and she will brush you off faster than Supergirl can brush off a punch from a human.

Lena Luthor hates getting sick.

Yeah, it's not like everyone enjoys the feeling of hurling in a porcelain bowl or their nose running faster than they can run in general, but she hates it because it limits her working capabilities and she has been taught from a young age to not let anything distract her. The company must come first. After all, all her father (Lionel) used to do was LuthorCorp this and LuthorCorp that ever since she was around five or six.

"Miss Luthor," Jess greeted her when she walked into her office. Lena snapped out her thoughts and sent a tired look at her secretary. "Miss Luthor, Morgan Edge demands to see you," Lena could even tell that Jess was trying not to roll her eyes at the mention of the idiot.

"Honestly, that man. If he was a general, he would be dangerous. Thank god he isn't a super villainous alien," Lena muttered in disdain. Jess gave a soft laugh. "Send him in," Lena let out a sigh and flopped a little bit in her chair.

She was getting a headache and was starting to feel a little sick. " Luthor! I demand to know where you were an hour ago!" yelled Edge as he came storming into her office. Lena sighed.

"Me? I was sat in this comfy chair, drinking delicious coffee while nursing a horrible headache. What about you Edge?" Lena replied with a sarcastic grin.

Edge didn't appreciate it.

"Why thank you for asking Miss Luthor. Well, while you were having a spectacular evening, I was being run off the road," he snapped; his eyes burning her.

"That seems to happen a lot to you, huh?" Lena commented dryly as she sat back down on her chair and clicked on a random file (just so she can pretend to do work while she tries not to fall asleep).

Edge didn't take too kindly to the comment.

"And Luthor's trying to kill people also happen," he said. Lena was getting tired of him.

"Edge, look, I didn't try and kill you. It would be a waste of my time and I have better things to do with my time," Lena made a gesture for him to leave but he advanced further. "Edge, I don't know if you can understand normal, human gestures …but that was a sign for you to leave," she felt a sneeze coming on so she took a deep breath and put her finger under her nose to block her nostrils and thankfully she didn't sneeze.

Edge was looking around and shook his head when the balcony door opened and a tall woman with blond hair and a red cape stepped in. "Supergirl," Lena said in shock; what was she doing here?

"Miss Luthor," SGirl greeted. "Edge. Do we have a problem here?" she took note of Lena's ragged appearance and red nose and the fact she had clicked on a file that was last opened two years ago.

SGirl also too note of Morgan Edge's aggressive stance and the glare he was sending Lena was enough to make Supergirl shudder.

Morgan remembered last time this happened and glared at both women before storming out. "Are you okay Miss Luthor?" SGirl asked as she walked further in her office.

Lena let out a small nod and a yawn left her lips. "Yes, thank you Supergirl. If you don't mind my asking, what were you doing here?"

"Oh. I was erm, listening out in the city and decided to check on you because I know how people in this city see you. I heard your heart rate was elevated and I heard Edge's voice," Supergirl said.

Lena nodded and was surprised when she sneezed a little. "Sorry," she muttered. She waved her off.

"It's fine, I can't get sick. Shouldn't you be home if your feeling unwell?" Supergirl asked. Lena shook her head and looked up at the Alien (she had closed the file from two years ago and opened up a potential project that she was working on yesterday).

"No can do Supergirl," Lena said. "Work never stops when you're a CEO,"

Sgirl raised her eyebrow and positioned her hands on her hips (cuz she does that a lot when she is near Lena..). "Ah, no, it doesn't. But …you can work from home. Unlike some people I know," like Alex, Kara thought.

Lena shook her head again and got focused on her work. "I'm already here Supergirl so what's the point in leaving. I'm a little busy if…-" Sgirl took the hint and gave a strained smile before leaving.

Five minutes later, Kara came through the door with a frazzled Jess behind her. "I am so sorry Miss Luthor. She really is so fast," Jess said slightly breathlessly. Lena waved her off with a smile and Kara came and sat down in front of her.

"Hey Kara," Lena greeted. Kara started at her before reaching over and shutting Lena's computer off. "Hey! Kara! What are you- what was that for?"

Kara didn't reply and instead grabbed Lena's bag and coat and handed it to her. "I know you're sick and I know you are one painkiller away from feeling like the world is spinning," Kara finally said as she made Lena stand up.

Lena was slightly startled so wasn't expecting Kara to lift her up and she stumbled forward into Kara. The blond tries to not blush but helped Lena stand straight with a look of told you so and handed her her bag.

When they got to Kara's loft (Kara doesn't know where Lena lives …SGirl does, not Kara), Kara helped Lena on her couch. "Do you want some tea?" Kara asked. Lena shook her head and shivered a little.

"Water please," or something stronger, she thought. Kara walked back over and gave her her drink before wrapping a blanket around her. "You don't have to do this Kara. Really, I was fine at my office. I don't want to be an inconvenience," Kara scoffed and moved closer to the youngest Luthor.

"You are not an inconvenience, Lee. You are my best friend and I would do anything for you," she promised. Lena smiled and rested her head on Kara's shoulder.

Lena opened her eyes – when did she fall asleep? – and saw that she was wrapped in really soft covers and the sun was currently attacking her face.

She finally remembered where she was.

"Kara?" She called out in a croaking voice. She coughed and that sent her in a little coughing fit as the back of her throat tickled. Kara was suddenly there in an instant with a glass of orange juice and some toast. "Thank you," she said after she had had some juice.

"How are you feeling today?" Kara asked. Lena gave her a look that said how do you think and that's when she sneezed. Kara cracked a grin and Lena glared at her but with the exhaustion radiating in her eyes. "Don't worry. I called us both in sick and I told Jess that I was looking after you. I also told my sister to tell her girlfriend that you weren't available for any arresting today," Kara meant that last part as a joke.

Lena laughed (and coughed, thank you dry throat) at the comment. "Thanks. If only you could do that every time I am accused of some- something," she cleared her throat.

Kara gave her a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, I get how that can be frustrating. On the bright side, you can yell I told you so every time you are released!"

"Of course. Kara Danvers seeing the bright side in everything," Lena said with a grin. Kara blushed.

"Well someone has to when your sister is Agent Alex Danvers (she said that in a faux tough voice) and my best friend is Lena Luthor. Your life is depressing and Alex is …Alex," Kara said.

"Fair point," chuckled Lena. Kara helped her up and pulled her so she sat on the couch.

"You can rest here and I will make you some soup for your toast as it is only half-eleven and we can watch movies all day," she left and then called as Lena went to grab her phone. "If you do anything work related I will lock all of your technology thingies in a safe!"

Lena knew that threat was real so settled for taking a picture of Kara as she almost dropped a bowl and posting it online with the caption:

LenaLuthor Kara the Klutz! karadanvers how have you survived living for 26 years?

She heard Kara's phone ping and chuckled as she saw the expression on Kara's face.

Comments:

karadanvers hey! I am not that clumsy! So be quiet and wait for your soup!

AlexD karadanvers please, you are the most clumsiest person on the planet (and probably beyond)

karadanvers now you're just being mean

LenaLuthor karadanvers AlexD stop blowing my phone with your annoying sisterly arguments

LenaLuthor oh and kara, eyes on the stove before you burn us all!

Both Alex and Kara responded at the same time

karadanvers hey

AlexD oi

Lena put her phone down and watched Kara again. Just as she looked, she swore she saw Kara blow what looked like cold air on her soup as she poured it in the bowl. The girl winced and Lena rubbed her eyes just as she saw two red lines go into her soup.

Lena felt her head and decided that she was sicker than she thought. No way Kara did that, I so need to cut back my hours, she thought.

an: this was meant to be a "sick lena being cared for by Kara" but I have no idea what happened. so this is now chapter six as it has no real prompt or something. Erm, enjoy I guess?
