L-Corp
Tuesday
Lena Luthor, CEO of L-Corp, a Fortune 100 Company, was not having a good day, it had started off well enough, waking up naked and entwined in Kara's arms, both women wishing Sam had spent the night with them and they both understood Sam was a mother first. However, Sam did join them over a video call and their morning coffee, all three women discussing plans for the weekend. The video call, was filled with the usual easy playful banter, teasing promises, flirtatious innuendo and plenty of heated touches from Kara, Sam voicing her thoughts and opinions on what she wanted Kara to do to Lena and what she would do to the both of them if she were there. Kara's touches and Sam's heated words and demands, left Lena sopping wet, strung out on arousal, Lena knowing she couldn't cum without Sam and Kara allowing her to.
Needless to say the video call had left all three women desperately wishing for a few days together uninterrupted or at least a few hours. As it being a Tuesday all three women's plates were full of work duties and responsibilities and no matter how much they wanted neither woman could not take the day off or reschedule. Though Lena did say that she was both of their bosses and she could in fact declare a day off for the three of them if they so wished. Kara and Sam had declined for now, as Lena knew they would, another reason that Lena loved them both so much, they didn't want her for anything other than her love.
When Lena had walked into L-Corp, Sam decided to up the flirtatious teasing ante and meet Lena in the lobby, a telltale grin on Sam's face as they proceed to the elevator and up to Sam's office. They had barely gotten inside when Sam shut and locked the door quickly, Lena found herself pushed against the door, Sam deliciously pinning Lena to said door by a Kryptonian Goddess who then proceeded to kiss her hungrily, desire and arousal burning between them, a raging inferno, leaving Lena breathless and hungry for more. Leaning against each other, panting, burning arousal barely held in check, Sam's hands holding her, their foreheads pressed together and Lena grateful for Sam's strength supporting her trembling body.
Sam's alarm went off, signaling her first video call and they sighed hating to leave each other as they would rather continue but they had to get started on the work day even though Lena and Sam would rather continue what they started, Lena placed a tender kiss on the corner of Sam's mouth and walked to her office on shaky legs, listening to Sam's mischievous laugh behind her. When Lena entered her office, there was a cup of steaming coffee on her desk, a plain white bag containing Lena's favorite apple and sharp cheddar scone and a scrawled not from Sam "love here's a little something to tide you over until I can cum in your mouth X." The note and the words and intention behind it left Lena flushed, arousal flooding her and soaking her panties, she almost, almost ran back to Sam's office.
Lena took a breath and mentally ran over her itinerary for another long day, sipping the rich dark brew and thinking of her two considerate loves. Who would have thought a Luthor and a Super, well two Supers, chuckling, the idea was so deliciously ironic. Sam as they had found out was actually Kryptonian which left Kara, Alex, Sam and Lena herself trying to puzzle out that mystery. They had also run some blood tests on Ruby who was as of now was 100% human, leaving them with another puzzle.
Lena (sitting down at her desk; she took a breath held it then let it out, rabid wild fantasies and desires would have to wait; L-Corp would not run itself, she had reports to go over, R & D projects to review, meetings, video calls, and a return call for an interview, which based on the publication in of itself she would not do. Lena had almost succeeded in calming her raging hormones, until Kara sent her a text with a picture and she nearly dropped her phone, Boston creme doughnut in hand and the words "it doesn't taste nearly as good as you do." Lena clutched the edge of her desk, knuckles white, eyes slammed shut, clenched thighs, wanton moan pouring from her parted lips, her lungs drawing in air like a bellows. Lena's self control fraying at the edges and one more push would shred that self control into tiny little pieces and work and responsibilities be dammed.
Jess (knocking): Good morning Ms Luthor ( frowning in concern taking in Lena's appearance, Lena's cheeks were flush, her hands clutching her desk, Lena's knuckles white) Ms Luthor are you sick? Do you want me to get Ms Arias? (Worry and concern) Ms Luthor did, is everything all right?
Lena (stifled a laugh, if Jess knew what the CFO was doing to the CEO, (Lena wished, wanted ached for that) Jess would probably not only encourage it but tease Lena relentlessly telling her probably that it was about time): Good morning (clearing her throat) Jess I'm fine, (Jess sat across from her) just two mischievous pranksters who don't know when to quit (she didn't want them to quit, no, Lena didn't want them to quit ever, she did however want them to do something about the constant, persistent state of arousal that she had been in for the past two hours, thanks to Kara and Sam.)
Jess (she wasn't blind nor stupid, she had a pretty good inkling of what was going on, she had seen Sam squeezing Lena's ass as they separated in the hallway yesterday, when they both thought no one was looking; Jess had also seen Lena's particular shade of lipstick on Kara's neck several times in fact, barely covered by her collar; there was also the heated looks and glances, barely an inch of space between all three women; Jess was happy for Lena and that was all that mattered, however if Sam or Kara or anyone for that matter hurt Lena she would deal with them herself): I may be a little forward, however love looks good on you. You deserve to be happy and if I may, (noticing Lena's smile) Ms Danvers and Ms Arias coming into your life in whatever capacity that they are makes you happy. (Lena covered her face with one hand) it's not obvious unless you happen to know what to look for. I only notice because I know you, and I see the way you are with both women.
Lena (blushing): Jess, you're not being overtly forward, and I appreciate the candor and reminder of how happy I am. (Softly) I sometimes wonder if I deserve it or if I'm dreaming (Jess gave her soft smile) but I'm going to hold onto it with every fiber of my being and enjoy it.
Jess (smiling): You (pointedly) Lena Luthor most certainly deserve to be happy and I'm sure Ms Danvers and Ms Arias will remind you of that. (A breath) holding onto and embracing love, is what you need to do, Ms Luthor, especially with how the world is today.
Lena (shifting): Okay enough of me blushing like a young school lass, (Jess grinned) I need you to review the two patents before they get sent out, you have an excellent eye for details. Also remember Helms will be here so, we're good to go, just hang back, let me deal with him.
Jess (not liking the idea even though Reign and Supergirl would be on standby, and she didn't know all the details): I would prefer you didn't participate in this for your own safety but I understand why you're choosing to do so.
Lena (reading off her emails): Any further requests for an interview, comments, press conference is canceled, except if it is CatCo, Kara Danvers or Cat Grant. (Motioning) any one else tell them to read the company web-page.
Jess (agreeing): What about the Evening Watch?
Lena (those pains in the arses, persistent, inaccurate): I'll deal with John Bern myself, the pompous blowhard. (Opening a blank note file) if my lawyers call, unless I'm in a meeting get a hold of me immediately.
Jess (nodding): Of course, I'll get another pot of coffee on, Ms Arias has a tendency to go through a whole pot before lunch.
Lena (typing): Speaking of I'm having lunch with Ms Arias and Ms Danvers, please block that time out. (Jess stood up) and thank you Jess.
Jess (grinning): You're welcome Lena.
Lena (typing a quick text to Alex, confirming the details of the planned operation; checking the time she realized it was only 4 AM on the east coast she would wait another hour before calling Bern and declining his persistent request for an interview): I do not deal with blind, arrogant, misogynist idiots period.
DEO
Colonel Haley's Office
Lauren Haley (reading through the thick dossier in front of her): Anti alien propaganda, large deposits to his bank account, association with known terrorists, the list goes on and on Agent Danvers, I want him brought in, today.
Alex (mentally reviewing the operation in her head): Wellers has a meeting set up with Ms Luthor, Ms Luthor will keep him engaged until Reign arrives and takes him into custody which then we'll publicly arrest him and return him to the DEO (hoping it would be that simple but Alex knew better, knew that with her family, no matter how hard they tried to keep it simple, somehow things got complicated or went completely off the rails.)
Haley (glancing up at Alex): Reign has to bring him into custody, by the book, no more no less, she has a tendency to go overboard. (She was taking a chance with Reign, a variable wild card if she ever knew one, Reign was trying to redeem herself, trying to become a hero like Supergirl, Reigns methods were much different then Supergirl's, much different and she had only hesitantly agreed to this operation to give Reign a chance to prove that she could work with the DEO and be an ally.)
Alex (nodding): I've already spoken with Reign in regards to your concerns and she promised that she would go by the book and listen to my directions.
Haley (firmly): She better Director Danvers, or I'll hold you personally responsibility, dismissed.
Alex (saluting): Yes ma'am (entering the hallway she headed into the locker room and pulled out her phone sending a message to Lena and Sam, Alex tapped the phone against her chin thought about sending another message to Sam regarding following directions then dismissed it and texted Maggie a text instead. Later on she would realize that she should have sent the message.
Sam's Office
Sam (reading over a projected analysis report; she had several stacks of them on her desk and the corresponding emails; glancing at the Lab Analyst, sitting across from her, Jacobs that was his name, he seemed nervous, but obviously trying to hide): You only to need to send one email, more than one will not garner my attention any faster (shifting) and you need to write complete sentences and back up your information with data and statistical graphs.
Jacobs (stammering): Ms Arias it's only a base line projection, I don't have all the information because we are still running preliminary tests and modules.
Sam (considering): And until I know exactly the full scope and purview of said project I'm denying any additional funding until I get complete facts and something more than a projected baseline and test modules.
Jacobs (hesitantly, trying to emphasize his point): I wasn't sure you got my email (she looked up from his report and he swallowed nervously as hazel eyes bore into his.)
Sam (taking a breath): Jacobs you've worked here for over a year, surely you know the chain of command, the hierarchy if you will, every email sent at L-Corp regardless of its sender or recipient is available to both Ms Luthor and myself at any given time.
Jacobs (shifting; he wanted to get out of there; he should have thought his project and this meeting through better): I'm sorry Ms Arias, I'll get started on redoing data analysis and baselines, get you a more completed set of data and obtain the necessary information.
Sam (thinking): Jacobs, go through the project piece by piece and get it to me Friday, I'll review it then and give it my full attention.
Jacobs (shaking his head): Yes ma'am (retrieving his laptop from the chair next to him.) Of course (standing quickly and barreling towards the door.)
Sam (watching with some amusement, she wondered briefly how Lena dealt with things like this as long as she had): Jacobs you do good work, you need to be thorough, focused and detailed. (The door shut and she leaned her head back for a minute) Gods, (dialing an extension on her phone) we need to send out a company wide email on how to submit projects for funding and approval (a little louder) because if someone else comes to me with not enough information again I'm going to lose my shit and fire them (setting the phone down carefully because if she broke another one Lena would have her ass, grinning then again there was all sorts of possibilities; losing herself in all the ways she could make it up to Lena, think of all the ways her and Kara could take care of a frustrated CEO if Sam broke another piece of equipment, oh yes it was a win, win situation; she didn't hear the door open and when she opened her eyes, green eyes were peering at her, a smirk tugging at the corner of luscious red lips, arms folded across her chest, pushing her boobs up, hip popped out; biting her bottom lip, eye brow arched) Ms Luthor (leaning forward, grinning.)
Lena (a breath): Ms Arias I understand that you're upset with a lack of protocol and proper procedure and approvals being submitted (licking her lips) unfinished as you say. (Sam's hazel eyes bore into hers, she knew that look, keep your focus Lena) I do however wish to remind you that L-Corp has several research divisions, (Sam was not paying attention to what she was saying, she could tell and she could practically read Sam's thoughts from the expression on her face) where (stammering, heated gaze on her, undressing her no doubt) where not all data and information is available at the time of funding approval. (Taking a moment) also as reminder (Sam stood up) we can't go firing someone for something as simple as (the tension in the room snapped and Sam was there in front of her, hazel eyes dark with lust; Lena mentally screamed take me) Sam (one word a plea) can't fire someone (oh Gods Sam looked at her like prey, like she would devour her) as lack of information (rasping out the last words barely.)
Sam (their bodies close, barely touching, not touching enough, a breath between them, enjoying Lena's reaction, her frustration, the stifling heat between them, Lena's increased heart rate, hooded green eyes, pink tongue licking red lips, Lena's constant shifting; Sam bent her head forward, their lips a breath apart): I'm very aware of policy, procedure and protocol Ms Luthor (clenching her fists to avoid touching Lena; Lena shifted hands reaching out to touch, hold) so about that memo (Lena swallowed, shifted, Sam noticed how Lena was clenching her thighs and she wanted, so desperately wanted to push that skirt up and feel Lena's heat and wetness against her fingers. Not yet, not yet she reminded herself, the temptation gnawed at her, Lena practically begged her without words.)
Lena (arousal pooled low in her gut; her purpose for coming (she wished) to Sam's office was to remind Sam to play nicely, review the submitted projects and remind Sam of the various policies in place at L-Corp; however when Sam stood up, all grace, power hungry, that voice low and smoky; all thoughts of reminding Sam of anything work related went out the window): Sam (raspy) work…
Sam (smirking; enjoying the brilliant beautiful woman's reaction): Work what about it (purposefully teasing Lena further) stocks are up, fiscal reports are in (her lips were captured and she had five and a half feet of frustrated, turned on, hot, genius CEO gripping the front of her jacket, lips pressed harshly against hers, Lena's tongue demanding entry, Sam took control of the kiss gripping the back of Lena's neck, shoving her tongue inside that delicious sensual mouth, tasting exploring, wrapping her arms around Lena, pulling her closer, careful not to squeeze to hard, they pressed together, Lena's grip unrelenting, Sam felt herself being pushed backwards, bumping into the corner of her desk, Lena stepping between her legs. Their hips flush and Sam paused, breath raspy, Lena;s dark green eyes staring into her own, cupping Lena's face, they both knew that they couldn't do this now) I guess I have to disobey you more often (seductively.)
Lena (a breath; releasing her grip on Sam's jacket; what was it about Kara and Sam that made her lose control and restraint so easily; made her skin burn, her body want and ache and need): Sam (words Lena, words she reminded herself) please focus for one minute before I (refusing to admit what Sam was doing to her.)
Sam (amused by Lena's lack of restraint): Before you what, Lena (cocky arrogant smirk) use your words love (rubbing her hands along Lena's spine) before you give in, before I let you have what you so desperately need (low) before I lay you down on my desk and give you what you want (pointedly) it's not that easy love.
Lena (her legs trembled as the vision flashed across her mind; and she almost gave in, almost, but two or three could play): How about I you lay down, spread you all over your desk and take what I need and only when I am satisfied will I give you what you need (the air cracked between them and Sam lunged forward for her again, Lena stepped back, hand in front of her, two, three could play this game.)
Sam (her jaw clenched, a breath): We both know that's not how it's going to happen, love (a delicious promise, playful threat) and I'll call Kara and maybe just maybe after you begged and pleaded we'll give you what you want.
Jess (interrupting them, voice over the intercom): You're 745 is waiting for you Ms Arias and also Ms Luthor has a phone call from a Mr Bern.
Lena (letting out a breath, so close, she had come so close): Apparently we'll have to wait and see. (Placing a soft kiss on Sam's lips, squaring her shoulders.) Ms Arias we will discuss this at a more convenient time (pointedly) and as far as that memo, I'll consider it (walking swiftly towards the door) oh and Ms Arias, please remember we have a research division for medical technology advancements (winking) not all data is available at the time of the request for funding (leaving on shaky legs listening to Sam's laughter echoing behind her.)
Sam shook her head grinning ear to ear, and moved around her desk to get ready for her meeting with a new supplier. Laptop, notes, and her cup of coffee she strode out of her office, waved to Jess and went on to her the sales pitch and other information. It was going to be a long day. The end results would be worth, so very very worth it.
Lena's Office
0950
Lena (ending the phone call with the reporter from the Evening Watch): Dam bloody idiot, how many no's does it take to get it through their dam head that I'm not interested in an interview with the Watch (Lena had an agreement that all her interviews were to be done by CatCo, Kara of course and also Cat Grant.) The Watch tended to exaggerate facts or not fact check at all or they made up their own story from what was spoken of in the interview, taking statements out of context and twisting those statements to bring in more readers and subscriptions. No thank you, she had enough PR and media issues to last her several lifetimes thanks to her bloody family. Checking the time her next meeting was due any minute, she steeled her reserves, going over the plan in her head, preparing herself for what came next. She would not be in any serious danger and it had to be done.)
Jess (opening the door): Ms Luthor, Rory Helms is here, he spoke with you on the phone, regarding the project for carbon capture. (Not liking this idea one bit, no matter how many DEO Agents were around and even with Supergirl and Reign on standby.) Mr Helms is few minutes early, I didn't think you would mind (Lena regarded her a moment then gestured to chair in front of her desk. Jess watched as Lena reached under her desk and pressing a hidden button activating the voice recorder, that was the signal, she didn't like this plan at all and she had a half a mind the next time she saw Alex Danvers to give her a piece of her mind regarding Lena's part in all of this.)
Lena (standing): Thank you Jess, has Ms Arias come out of her meeting yet? And show Mr Helms in, I do have another meeting to go to and I'd like to get this over quickly.
Jess (shaking her head): The meeting is finishing now (showing Mr Helms in) would you like me to prepare a tray of coffee Ms Luthor?
Lena (declining): No, that's fine Jess, thank you. (Waiting until the door was shut; Helms or whatever name he was going by now, was about 1.8 meters tall, closely cropped hair, goatee, plain pressed slacks, polo shirt and two tattoos, still the same sleazeball judging by his employer, he hadn't changed much) Mr Helms, you wish to discuss advanced technology regarding carbon capture filters (Helms brown eyes bore into hers) it's an interesting proposal and there are also several patents on the market as we speak. What makes yours different that would pique the interest of L-Corp? (She would rather get up and kick his ass off her balcony rather than speak to the cretin but she had told Alex she would help her bring Helms in.)
Helms (smiling; he had been warned that she could be dangerous, beautiful deadly just as his employer said and just as he had remembered her): I understand Ms Luthor, however my idea takes it a step further, by capturing…
Lena (tired of the little dance already; he wasn't here for carbon capture or anything technology related; he was here for one purpose and one purpose alone): Interesting as your speech sounds (tapping her chin in thought) I'm afraid I'll have to decline (he tensed up, shifting his stance.) L-Corp isn't interested in dredging up the past (walking around her desk) L-Corp and by extension myself is only interested in moving towards the future, (a breath) wouldn't you agree Mr Helms (folding her arms across her chest) or should I say Mr Wellers?
Rory (grinning): I thought you'd remember me (watching her carefully.) It's been a long time, last I saw you, you were 15, 16 (he watched her swallow nervously.) You've grown more beautiful, more dangerous, you never were good at keeping yourself out of trouble or listening.
Lena (fighting against dark painful memories of that part of her life, shoving them down steeling her reserves): I've learned a lot since then (a moment) and you know you haven't changed a bit, you were a boorish arse then and a puppet for hire, you're still an arse, and you're still a puppet for hire (sneering.)
Helms (grinning): Sticks and stones Lena, sticks and stones. (She would pay for that) they said you always were four steps ahead, that you were absolutely brilliant and not to underestimate you. (Lena folded her arms across her chest) well I'm afraid you underestimated me (pressing a button on his watch; feeling the rush of power flood him) your mother says hello Lena. (Advancing on her, ranting) we used to have a lot of fun in those days (her fists clenched) oh yes a lot of fun (enjoying her reaction) you're mother misses you. You come with me we can all sit down, talk things over, revisit a few memories….
Lena (cutting him off): Save it for someone who cares (rolling her eyes, her mother again; the woman a thorn in her side even after she was cold and buried in the ground) and I'm not interested in any type of reunion or walk down memory lane. You can bloody fucking go to Hades (Lena reminding herself keep your head up Lena, don't falter, don't show any weakness and don't let those memories overwhelm you) I'm going to give you a few minute head start Rory (taking a breath) before I call my security team (holding her hands out) I was waiting for you. You've nowhere to go so go ahead (waving her hand in dramatic fashion) this is the part...
Rory (pulling out a gun): Be quiet, you know how this works…
Lena (finishing): You pull a gun out (disdain.)
Rory (advancing on her): Shut up (yelling.)
Lena (they had been expecting this and it was playing out exactly as she and Alex had calculated): Yadda, yadda, again. How original? Loaded gun, you threaten to shoot me (fake yawn) how boring, how unoriginal (she had pressed the barely visible transmitter in her watch, she needed to keep him busy for a just few more moments.) Can't anyone, come up with something new? (Tapping her chin in thought) or use something else besides a steel based weapon, that fires lead bullets using gunpowder and a small explosion, I mean really. There's absolutely no originality anymore in assassination attempts...
Rory (moving faster than she expected, catching her arm and raising the gun, slamming it across the side of her face, enjoying the pained gasp and her on her falling to the floor, reaching for her he grabbed a fistful of her hair, making her look up at him, he didn't expect the disdain and furious rage directed at him): Shut up, (he placed the gun against her head) stay on your knees or I will blow a hole in your pretty face. (Leaning down; seeing Lena like this brought back fond memories for him at least) Where are they? Where are you keeping them? I know they're here my employer couldn't find out where though, so you're going to tell me (pressing harder) or...
Lena (laughing): Finally we're getting somewhere (the gun pressed harder into her skin) you better make you sure kill me (bitter laughter.)
Reign (landing on the balcony; assessing the situation, Lena was on the floor with a gun pressed to her head, she noticed a bruise forming on her pale skin, the man holding gun against her temple, how dare he lay a hand on Lena, it was time to end this): Step away from Ms Luthor right now.
Rory (eyes widening; turning and aiming the gun at the new intruder; dressed in all blacks and reds): Who the fuck are you? (Eyes widening as she floated through the door, dark energy swirling around like a fog, red eyes glowing menacingly, he swallowed nervously, his hands shaking then pain exploded in his right hand.)
Reign (blasting the gun with her heat vision; flying at top speed, her hand reaching out to grip the man by the collar, kicking the gun away): You're worst nightmare come to life (snarling in his face, she could smell his fear, reeking through his pores, first things first though, glancing at Lena on the ground beside her) Ms Luthor (reaching out with other hand stroking the soft black hair gently) the authorities are on the way (dragging the man outside to the balcony.) You struck Ms Luthor, you're a known wanted terrorist, you're kind doesn't deserve to live or exist (stepping near the balcony rail. Reign struggled with a decision briefly, the man had hurt Lena, hurt hundreds of innocent people and was prepared to sell information to the highest bidder.)
Rory (struggling): You can't, I have rights, you don't know who you're messing with (yelling as she easily held him over the banister.) Don't kill me (yelling as she dropped over the banister and he was in free fall, her steel grip firmly clutching at his collar, his hands grasping her arm, the wind whistling around him, closing his eyes, expecting death, then everything stopped as they came to an abrupt halt, 20 feet off the ground.)
Plaza in Front of L-Corp
Alex (motioning): Cordon off the area and get a team inside (screams echoed around her and she turned around, meeting Maggie running across the police line.) Shit….
Cameraman (pointing): It's Reign she's going to drop him, I thought she was supposed to be helping Supergirl (there above them was Reign holding a man off the ground, they could hear the exchange between them and he aimed his camera up) she's going to kill him.
Alex (grumbling): One of these days, just one I would like something to go according to plan.
Maggie (adjusting her vest): Well that's not today hon, (yelling) holster your dam weapons (shaking her head as she watched several officers and DEO Agents keeping their weapons trained on Reign) Alex…
Alex (yelling): Stand down, I repeat stand down (raising her arms) lower your weapons (facing Reign) Reign this isn't what we talked about. (Reign glared at her) come down here and hand him over, we'll take him into custody.
Reign (snarling): He hurt Ms Luthor, he hurt hundreds of innocent lives, he betrayed this country his kind should not be allowed to live.
Maggie (wincing): Shit (trying herself) and that makes him a slime ball (Alex cursed beside her) but he needs to stand trial for what he's done.
Alex (pleading): Maybe not, maybe he doesn't deserve to live but that is not up to you…
Reign (loudly): He's caused harm, he deserves death, suffering (growling) not mercy…
Alex (demanding, her voice firm, Reign was much different then Supergirl, Reign saw the world in blacks and whites, very little gray areas, and Alex knew that Reign would not hesitate to cross a line, especially if there was a threat perceived or otherwise to her family): Reign put the slime ball down (correcting herself) on the ground and let me take him into custody. You did your job, Ms Luthor is safe, he's going to jail (Reign relaxed for a moment, Alex sighed in relief and then Reign was diving towards the ground at incredible speed; Maggie was yelling orders, Alex cursed as the scene unfolded in front of her, she could already see the headlines; then suddenly Reign stopped, hesitated, hovering a few feet off the ground; life and death hanging in the balance, silence, then just as quickly as she stopped Reign dropped Wellers right onto the hood of a police cruiser; Reign winked at her then flew herself upward and away; a breath) get that slime ball into custody now (rubbing her face) once just once can someone follow orders (Haley was going to have her ass for this. And she was going to have a long talk with Reign about following orders.)
Maggie (rubbing her back): Well she did put him down without killing him (Alex lowered her head and swore under her breath.) Come on let's go check on little Luthor. Two NCPD officers are upstairs, securing the scene.
Alex (motioning): Get him back to the DEO, I'm going to get Ms Luthor's statement.
Maggie (glancing around): Shows over, we're done here (running to catch up to Alex, knowing her girlfriend was furious (thinking) at who she wasn't sure. She knew Reign had only acted to protect Lena, and once Reign had seen Lena in danger she reacted, sure she came close to killing him but she hadn't; dropping him on a police cruiser in front of the media wasn't good and definitely against protocol but she didn't kill him; she had to remind Alex of that fact) she didn't kill him, she could have but…
Alex (punching the button for the elevator): She disobeyed an order, there were cameras there Maggie, do you know what Haley is going to have to say about this. How the media is going to spin this (running her hand through her hair in frustration.)
Maggie (ah so that was the crux of the issue): She needs to understand that Reign is not like Supergirl and I believe that Reign didn't so much as disobey you, (Alex look of disbelief) Lena got hurt and Reign reacted, in the end he's going to prison, where he belongs, we stopped a potential serious threat, at the end of the day that's what's important (looking into Alex's eyes) not the how (finishing.)
Alex (pondering over Maggie's words, she was right, of course she was, yet tensions were already high between Aliens and Humans alike, and people didn't fully trust Reign, yet; she could only hope that this didn't cause further unrest): Still (listening as a DEO Agent reported in on Lena's status.) And to make matters worse Lena didn't listen to the plan either (frustrated, she was going to strangle someone or a bunch of someone's) how come things never go according to plan with this family, just once can somebody listen and follow directions (pinching the bridge of her nose.)
Maggie (laughing): Oh Gods that's just wishful thinking on your part (smirking.)
Alex (grumbling): Maggie (soft hands touched her face) really?
Maggie (chuckling): Now calm down love, think about it we have a fifteen year old who might or might not be part Kryptonian (Alex closed her eyes.) We also have two Kryptonian Goddesses (Alex groaned) Lena's words not mine anyway focus (giggling) we have one vigilante hero, two Red Martians, several other aliens coworkers, (Alex's jaw hung open and she closed it for her placing a soft kiss on Alex's lips) a billionaire heiress whom is a magnet for trouble and quite frankly a mess of trouble herself (laughing) then one sexy hot bad ass DEO director (another kiss proudly) and of course one hot bad ass NCPD cop (buffing her fingernails on her jacket, biting back a laugh) and when you put them all together (shrugging) well you have a zero (rethinking her previous statement) less than zero percent chance of anything ever going according to plan (doubling over in laughter.)
Alex (she was going to strangle Maggie too): That's not very helpful (going over Maggie's words, oh Gods it was true, absolutely true) what have I gotten myself into this time?
Maggie (tugging on Alex's jacket): Certainly not me (chuckling) and babe don't overthink it, let's go check on little Luthor.
Alex (mentally counting how many containment cells she would need for this mischievous band of troublemakers): I can only imagine what she's done this time (knowing Lena's penchant for getting into trouble.)
Lena's Office
Lena (holding the ice pack to her face): I was never in any serious danger Jess (Jess pouring peroxide on a bandage and wiping the cut on Lena's face) his hand wavered when he held up the gun (wincing) ouch (shifting in her chair) he wouldn't have shot me. All he did was hold the barrel of the weapon against my head ranting and raving. I was more bored than scared (Jess incredulous look) I was. It gets pretty boring after a while, same old, same old.
Jess (apologizing as Lena winced): Sorry Ms Luthor, and I think he hit you harder then you thought (motioning) he hit you with a loaded firearm and was prepared to kill you (loudly.) You were in danger (Lena lowered her head bashfully) you're injured and you should be taken to a doctor or I can call Dr McGrath for you (she would rather call Dr McGrath, to be on the safe side.) Or at least get a hold of Agent Danvers seeing as she got you into the this mess.
Lena (waving her hand): Jess it's a cut and a bruise, no need to call the calvary (Alex and Maggie came through the door, Alex looked frustrated, angry and Maggie looked amused) never mind the calvary is already here as is Agent Danvers. (The only ones that were missing were Kara and Sam and she knew they were going to give her an earful when they arrived.) I appreciate the concern (glancing around) it's a bruise and a cut, nothing serious.
Jess (glancing at Alex and Maggie): You're far from fine Ms Luthor (sighing in relief that Agent Danvers and Sergeant Sawyer were here, maybe they could get Lena to agree to go to a hospital.)
Alex (pointedly): I believe that it was less than three months ago (gazing into green eyes) that you underwent major surgery to repair a tear in your heart (taking a breath, Lena didn't need or deserve to be yelled at) an attempt was made on your life (forget it, maybe it would would help Lena see sense.) And unless I missed it, your degrees don't list anything in the medical field.
Maggie (swatting Alex on the ass): Honey maybe a little tact, (sitting on the corner of Lena's desk) hey Little Luthor, you did good (patting Lena on the shoulder) you've got to learn to duck sweetheart, we talked about this.
Alex (yelling): She did not do good, and don't encourage her.
Jess (figuring Lena was in good hands): I'll be at my desk if you need anything. (Looking at all three women) good luck, you're going to need it with Ms Luthor.
DEO Agent (entering with a med kit): You requested this Director Danvers, portable is in here as well.
Alex (taking the med kit and placing it on the desk with a loud thunk): Thank you (pulling out bandages, gauze and antibiotic ointment) let's take a look at that gash, (putting on a pair of latex gloves and pulling out a pen light, cupping Lena's jaw gently) just relax for a minute (shining the light over the gash, the bruise was already forming and Lena also had a small bruise forming near her temple) any dizziness, nausea (Lena shook her head) this is going to sting (pressing a disinfectant pad against the wound, Lena hissed) sorry but if you had followed orders, went along with the plan (Maggie shoved her) then we wouldn't be here (taking out a sealed packet of steri strips) I'm going to apply steri strips and cover them with this bandage (being as gentle as possible, she knew it stung) I'm sorry but maybe next time you'll listen (pointedly.)
Lena (clenching her jaw, her face stung like a bitch): It's okay Alex, you do what you need to. I did listen, Wellers brought up a few things and I didn't appreciate his comments.
Alex (sighing; understanding, she knew there was more to the story): It was a dangerous situation (swallowing) and you need to be more careful the next time (pushing a lock of Lena's hair back) and maybe get you some dam training since you can't keep yourself out of trouble.
Maggie (rubbing Lena's back): I still say you did good, ignore the grumpy bad ass (Lena giggled; Alex turned and glared at her) well you are a bad ass.
Alex (exasperated): Maggie (shaking her head, smiling, back to Lena) turn your head for me (holding the pen light up) follow the light (shining the light in Lena's eyes) good (leaning back) follow the light with just your eyes (she was always amazed at the color of Lena's eyes, one blue, one green, heterochromatic, and you would only notice if you really looked.)
Sam (entering): What happened? (Setting down a box of pastries and four large coffees) I got out of the meeting went to grab some pastries and coffee and I come back and L-Corp is on lock down (covering for herself just in case anyone in the hallway heard.) There are cops in front of the building, radio chatter mentioning your name and a gunman involved and (motioning) what happened to your face? (Going to Lena's side, kissing Lena on the cheek) you poor thing (another gentle kiss; seeing the bandage and bruises forming) that son of a bitch (she was already rethinking her decision.)
Maggie (this was going to be good): Hey sexy mamma, your girl here face off an armed gunman…
Lena (leaning her head against Sam): I'm all right love (they would discuss what happened later.) He didn't like empowered woman and when I sassed back he took exception to that (Sam tensed) it's okay Reign was here, she rescued me.
Sam (placing her arm around Lena's shoulders): Good thing too, you're a magnet for trouble.
Maggie (biting down on her lower lip): You said it (Alex face was furious) Alex come on, things are fine, they worked out in the end (then she noticed who Alex was looking at, Sam moved to face Alex) might want to move to the left little Luthor (or just get out of the way period she thought.)
Alex (rounding on Sam): You (poking a finger into Sam's chest) you disobeyed a direct order, for that, I should haul your ass down to the DEO and put you in a holding cell for that stunt. What were you thinking? Does low profile ring a bell?
Sam (she could care less about the slime bag, her main concern was Lena, she didn't understand why Alex was so furious, all right she did, she had not kept a low profile, had not done as directed but the man was a terrorist; considering her options; leaning her head forward she placed a kiss on Alex's cheek): Nice to see you too Alex, and thank you for coming up and taking care of Lena, personally.
Lena (laughing): Oh Sam I don't think that's a good idea (amusing as it was.)
Maggie (wiggling her hand): Knocked the wind out of Alex's sail though (then again maybe not.)
Alex (throwing her hands up): That does it, you (pointing at Sam) sit down don't say another word. You (motioning in Maggie and Lena's direction) couch (Maggie started to move, a shit eating grin plastered on her face) not you (gesturing) Lena get your ass on that couch and don't say a word.
Lena (retorting): Wow Alex I didn't know you had it in you (a withering glare) right couch. (Sam helped her to the couch and then sat on the arm of it by her head, Sam's comforting presence helped calm her.)
Alex (grabbing the med kit): One more word out of either one of you and I'm putting you all in a containment cell immediately and they'll be separate. (Placing the med kit on the coffee table) get horizontal you know the drill (Maggie giggled as did Sam) shut it (hazel eyes shone with mischief and Lena's green eyes looked at her with amusement.) I mean it you three are in enough hot water as it is.
Maggie (defensively): What did I do?
Alex (grumbling): I don't know but knowing you give it a few minutes (cursing herself) Gods why me?
Lena (laying down with Sam's help): You might want to shut the door we don't need the CEO of L-Corp flashing everyone in the hallway, mind you.
Alex (pulling out what supplies she needed): Don't flatter yourself, Luthor (she didn't understand the humor at a time like this, she knew about deflection, stress relief but the three of them were seriously trying her patience) just lay there (firmly) quietly.
Sam (smiling, kneeling next to Lena's head): I wouldn't mind…
Maggie (snickering, going over to sit on the other end of the couch): Of course you wouldn't…
Alex (pulling on a pair of fresh gloves, reaching for Lena's shirt): Um right um (blushing, listening to Maggie's snickers, noticing Sam biting her bottom lip; three pairs of eyes looked at her.) I'm trying to be professional here and didn't I tell you three to shut it.
Lena (teasing): Alex you're just full of surprises (another glare) and I am flattered (Sam stifled a laugh, Maggie covered her face and Alex shook her head, Lena noticing the smirk tugging at Alex's lips.)
Sam (covering her face, only her girlfriend): Lena before Alex does haul you out in handcuffs (Maggie doubled over laughing) Lena please just be quiet and hold still.
Alex (counting to ten): I'm going to undo you shirt now (green eyes regarded her then her eyebrow arched, the sniggering behind her continued) then I'll place the leads and get a read out on your heart, is that okay?
Lena (nodding; even with all the bluster, ovary breaking, sarcastic behavior, Alex was always a consummate professional, Alex cared for her): Do I get get candy if I'm good (Sam's hand carded through her hair?)
Alex (unbuttoning Lena's shirt slowly, trying to keep her hands from trembling, glancing at the long scar above her sternum; Lena was like a sister to her, she hated seeing anyone she loved or cared about hurt; sliding the shirt open, noticing Lena's clenched jaw) relax (picking up the leads) no candy for you (a pout) don't give me that we both know you're never good (winking, Lena's jaw relaxed and she grinned.) This is going to be a little cold (squirting some gel on Lena's skin to get better conduction with the leads, Lena hissed) sorry, relax for me.
Maggie (unable to resist, watching Lena clench her jaw, she knew how cold that gel and those leads were): I'm sure Sam can keep you warm Lena. (Watching Alex) is that necessary, can't Sam tell us, I mean…
Sam (she was so focused on Lena that she almost didn't hear Maggie): Lena's heart rate is abnormal, due to an arrhythmia (she didn't want to think about Lena's surgery, the tear in her heart) but I can't tell much further than that. Her arrhythmia could be due to a heart rate that's too high, too fast, too slow, hence the EKG.
Alex (turning the machine on): All right let's see what's going on with you?
Lena (closing her eyes): I'm fine (thankful that Sam was there anchoring her and Maggie had her hand on her lower leg, squeezing gently, she hated this, hated feeling weak, vulnerable.)
Alex (resting her hand on Lena's legs): Any pains, palpitations, tightness (watching the screen?)
Lena (swallowing): Small ones here and there, few pangs, comes and goes…
Alex (since Lena's surgery Alex knew that because of the surgery and the anomaly they found with Lena's heart, Alex knew Lena would have pangs, tightness, Lena would also sometimes get short of breath and a general uncomfortable feeling, not all the time though. yet): You're still taking the prescribed medication (a nod.) Relax and breath for me okay (glancing at Sam as she looked at the screen) well she's in Tachycardia her heart beat is 110 beats per minute, that's not good. (Reaching for the blood pressure cuff only to have Maggie hand it to her) any serious deviation with the blood pressure I'm taking you to the DEO infirmary.
Lena (protesting as the cuff was attached): It's not necessary.
Sam (gently): This isn't something to mess around with, it's only been three months Lena (closing her eyes remembering the moment Lena's heart had stopped before the machines beat for her.)
Alex (placing the stethoscope in her ears, inflating the cuff, watching listening): 87 over 58 (concern) Lena…
Sam (listening to Lena's heart beat): Alex she's always had a relatively low blood pressure, it's in her medical chart.
Alex (thinking): What have you eaten today?
Lena (swallowing): A half of Kara's breakfast sandwich, a bite of a of scone, coffee, juice, that's it.
Alex (figuring if Kara was on her way then she could grab lunch): Sam have Kara pick up lunch for all of us, including cheese sticks and fries for trouble here (setting the stethoscope over her shoulders) you should be admitted, but I'm going to try something else first.
Maggie (remembering bits and pieces of medical knowledge): You're thinking food might bring up her blood pressure.
Alex (proudly): Good job Maggie and yes, what my plan is, is to get Lena to eat lunch, then recheck her blood pressure and redo the EKG. If it the pressure rises into an acceptable range then we'll continue monitoring her EKG. If it doesn't (squeezing Lena's hand) then I'm admitting you to the DEO infirmary for over night observation and tests.
Sam (pressing a finger to her lips): Lena I agree with Alex (Lena tensed, tried to sit up but she placed her hand on Lena's sternum gently) you've had issues on and off with your heart and given everything going on I'd rather be safe then sorry, Alex wouldn't consider admitting you if it wasn't serious.
Alex (retorting): Committing you, maybe (smiling to take the sting out her words.)
Lena (protesting): I can't go, there's so much I have to do. I have projects, meetings, a video call and...
Sam (pressing a kiss to Lena's forehead): Your health is more important (thinking) Alex will she really need to be admitted?
Alex (glancing at the now healed scar centered over her sternum): She should be, considering that the surgery was only three months ago, the small anomaly and that's she's having issues, however let's do a wait and see, I'm going to keep this on her and then take her blood pressure again after lunch. She needs rest, her feet need to be elevated, no added stress, and we'll monitor her and see how things go.
Maggie (patting Lena's leg): You'll be fine like Alex said (Lena looked nervous, uncomfortable) just relax Lena we're here for you.
Sam (reading the incoming text message): Kara's in the lobby (Alex motioned to the door then to Maggie) says she's got a lot of food.
Maggie (picking up on the silent): Well let's go help little Danvers or she'll eat all that food herself.
Sam (glancing at Lena then at Alex, part of her would rather stay, but Alex needed to talk to Lena): Don't give Alex to much of a hard time honey (pressing kiss to the corner of Lena's mouth.)
Lena (taking a deep breath): I'll try not to and there better be cheese sticks left for me.
Alex (placing a blanket over Lena): Lena you need to relax (resting her hand on Lena's arm. The brunette tensed up and blew out a breath) it's okay, I'm here, we're all here for you. (Understanding Lena and her insecurities) I know in your past showing weakness or vulnerability meant disastrous consequences for you. You were left alone to deal with things, that you shouldn't have had to. (Rubbing the back of Lena's hand in a soothing motion.) You don't have to be afraid, and you won't be left alone.
Lena (tears pricked her eyes): People find out that I'm sick, that I need medical help, then they're just going to up and leave, not to mention, well you know.
Alex (disbelief): No honey that's not true (she knew Lena's insecurities were due to a tumultuous, abusive childhood) that's not true now. Asking for help doesn't mean your weak or people are gonna leave. No one's going anywhere, certainly not Kara, or Sam, and I'm not going anywhere, neither is Maggie. Then there's J'ohn, Brainy, Nia, they're here, and when they find out what's going on, they're going to want to help.
Lena (struggling to believe Alex's words; tightening her arms around herself, protecting herself): Everyone leaves…
Alex (taking Lena's hands in her own): Whatever happened in your past (she had a pretty good idea) is in the past (she wanted to bring Lillian back and slap her herself for what she had put Lena through.) No one's going to leave, no one's going to abandon you and no one is going to hurt you, ever again. (Lena's body was tense, she needed her to calm down) Lena look at me, focus on me (tearful green eyes bore into hers) breath with me (taking a breath) again (watching Lena breath) good in and out (gently) I'm here you're safe. (The breathing exercises helped and Lena relaxed as they breathed together) there a little better (continuing the breathing exercises.)
Lena (another breath): Thank you Alex (a gentle smile.)
Alex (gently, listening to the noise in the hall): It's what I'm here for (leaning back) they're here with lunch. You just stay there (Lena pouted) I'm serious Lena.
Kara (setting the bags down quickly): Oh Rao (kneeling on the floor next to Lena) honey (kissing Lena, focusing on Lena's heartbeat) you're heart is racing Lena (another kiss) and this (trailing her fingers lightly over the bandage, turning and looking at Sam) Reign secured him though (Sam nodded, upset at seeing Lena in pain, the EKG bringing back painful memories) I'm here, we're here, you're safe baby.
Sam (helping Maggie with the food): Yes Reign hauled him in for custody, Mr Wellers apparently doesn't like empowered women or sassy sarcastic beautiful CEO's. Our biggest concern is her heart, the cut and bruise will heal quickly.
Kara (turning to Alex, her hand rubbing soothing motions across Lena's chest): Alex what's going on with her heart?
Alex (snagging a french fry): Tachycardia, low blood pressure (Kara glanced at her) out of the average range of acceptable blood pressure (opening her sandwich and taking a bite) hers was 87 over 58 (swallowing.) If someone had listened and followed directions...
Maggie (sitting next to Alex): Play nicely…
Lena (melting into Kara's touch): Ha as if, Alex play nicely, that'll be the day.
Sam (biting her lower lip): Lena don't go poking the hornet nest, please...
Alex (mischievously): I've got an 18 gauge needle with a strong sedative I'm going to poke you with in a minute (Lena's wide eyed look) and I'll make sure it hurts when I do (smirking at Lena's astonished look.)
Kara (quickly looking between Lena and her sister): Why what did Lena do? She's injured, why would she need a sedative?
Sam (covering her mouth): Loaded question...
Maggie (chewing and swallowing): Pay Alex no mind little Danvers…
Sam (turning the tables): I believe Alex is the one that needs a sedative (Alex glared at her) I'm just calling it like it is.
Maggie (laughing): Maybe just...
Alex (rubbing her face, grumbling): That's it no sex for a week (pointing at Maggie) Luthor I'm locking you up in the infirmary (glancing at the four troublemakers) and you two (pointing at Sam and Kara) you two Kryptonians you're going in a cell with red sun lamps. (Waving her arm) then Ruby and I are going for pizza and ice cream, she's the least amount of trouble out of all of you. (Silence, Lena's lips twitching, Kara stared at her, Sam bit her lower lip, Maggie was the one who laughed first followed by Sam, then Lena and Kara last) that's not a threat that's a promise (grabbing Maggie's arm so she didn't fall off the chair) you're not helping.
Maggie (cackling): You're sexy when you get all flustered and agitated (pressing a kiss to Alex's cheek, going back to her lunch before Kara or Sam finished it.)
Lena (leaning her head on Kara's shoulder, nibbling on a cheese stick): Are you going to use restraints too?
Kara (blushing): Oh Rao I (waving her hand) no, no, don't go there (lowering her head, that was an image she didn't need right now, quickly going back to her food.)
Sam (laughing): Honey quit while you're ahead, if Alex uses handcuffs on you, you won't enjoy it.
Alex (paybacks that): You'd enjoy that wouldn't you (tossing a wadded napkin at Lena.)
Maggie (proudly): Who knew little Luthor had game...
Lena (retorting): I'll have you know I have a lot of game (Sam and Kara coughed) will you be using the standard cuffs or something else entirely (playfully provoking Alex, it kept her mind off the machine attached to her.)
Alex (grinning): In your case it might be a full body cast (grinning) that way I know you can't get into anything or cause anything else.
Lena (swallowing her food, taking a sip of her drink then stuck her tongue out at Alex): Meanie...
Sam (placing her hand over Lena's mouth): Lena honey leave the bad ass DEO agent alone (Alex grinned in triumph Maggie shoved Alex) Kara, honey, would you mind giving me a hand with Lena before she ends up in a containment cell instead of the infirmary, the PR department will blow a dam gasket for sure this time.
Maggie (retorting): I'm sure she'd love to…
Kara (considering the situation, all eyes on her): Lena sweetheart aren't you supposed to be sitting there eating your lunch and not doing much else (pulling Lena closer) and Alex she's injured give her a break (winking.)
Alex (throwing her hands up in disbelief): See if I share any of my pot stickers with you next time (Maggie laughing) you're no help.
Sam (checking her phone): I'm going to have to cut lunch short (a chorus of awe's and no's) sorry but since my CEO is out of action it's up to me to hold up the paper bag and keep this place going. Though I reserve the right to fire anyone who pisses me off this afternoon.
Lena (tightening her grip on Sam's knee): Sam please don't fire anyone and certainly don't threaten to throw someone over your balcony (Sam looked at her) unless I'm present of course.
Alex (gathering the trash): Not so fast Lena, I'm going to recheck your blood pressure and do another EKG (smiling as Lena burrowed her self further into Kara and Sam.) Now you decide you're going to behave (rolling her eyes) and actually listen? (Lena stuck her tongue out at her) will miracles never cease? (Motioning) your two bookends are going to have to move (motioning to Kara and Sam.)
Sam (tapping on her phone trying to rearrange the afternoon schedule): Kara can you work from here while I go tend to a few things? I'd rather not have Lena left alone as we both know what she can get into?
Kara (holding up her bag): I'm already on it (smiling.)
Maggie (checking her phone): I've got to get back to work (kissing Alex on the cheek) feel better little Luthor (patting Lena on the arm. She hugged Sam and Kara wishing them luck and looking forward to game night.)
Alex (pulling the stethoscope out of her ears): 105 over 72 that's better, your heart rate has also decreased so for now you're off the hook. But (patting Lena's arm) you stay on this couch, no stress, no running L-Corp and try please try to stay out of trouble for a few hours (winking.)
Kara (setting her laptop): What should we watch for Alex?
Alex (showing her the EKG): I know you two can hear her heart beat, but probably in another hour check it again and send me the readout and I'll tell you what's going on. I don't think she's in any real danger but you know the signs to look for.
Sam (watching Lena, tuning in to her heart, it sounded steady, less rapid): We do and if something's wrong she's going right to the infirmary.
Lena (shifting to her side): I am right here you know.
Alex (packing up her gear): Better to be safe than sorry, I'm going to get back to the DEO, I have reports to file and an angry colonel to deal with (glancing at Sam) please for the rest of the day, subtly and go by the book (hugging Kara tightly) especially you (getting a hug from Sam, leaning down she pushed back Lena's hair) you need to take better care of yourself for these two okay (Lena nodded.)
Sam followed Alex, Kara could hear them in the hallway, facing Lena, her girlfriend looked tired, vulnerable and she felt the restless energy, knowing Lena hated not doing anything, being idle.
Kara (sitting on the couch): Come here (pulling Lena until she was half in her lap, rubbing soothing circles along her spine, this always relaxed Lena, always calmed her.) We're here, we're right here.
Sam (shutting the door): What were you thinking? You could have been killed.
Kara (staring at Sam): Sam, she doesn't need us yelling at her, she needs us.
Lena (motioning): Can you pour me a drink it's been one of those mornings, please?
Sam (growling): You can't go and put yourself in danger like that? (Pouring Lena Kara and herself a drink) we agreed on letting him in, then capturing him, yet you decided to to taunt him, bait him….
Lena (accepting the drink and downing it quickly): Because, I wanted information (Sam and Kara gave her a puzzled look) he mentioned Lillian (Sam rubbed her face and tilted her head back, Kara set her glasses down and rubbed her face.) Hear me out please (Kara and Sam both knew Wellers needed to be taken off the street before he got any further in his plan and she had to explain all of this.) He had government documents in his possession, documents that could have exposed several highly classified black ops operations, military secrets and Wellers planned on selling those documents to the highest bidder. (Laying out the whole story) the fact that he Lillian was no accident, (Kara and Sam motioned for her to go on) one of those documents contained material and patent for a new type of armor. Armor that could save lives, further help protect our law enforcement and military.
Sam (unsure how to feel or how to take that as far as she and everyone else knew Lillian Luthor was dead): Lena, Lillian is dead, we buried her (reaching out to Lena and sitting down; Sam's heart hurt for her; Sam had heard the whole conversation and she knew Lena needed a little space to process this.) Lena (rubbing her face at the implication): so why did he come here? Why L-Corp, surely it wasn't to (gesturing wildly and letting out a frustrated breath.)
Kara (catching on): He knew where they were? Or he knew Lena knew where they were?
Lena (cuddling further into Kara and rubbing her fingers across Sam's knuckles): Because he needed the other set of blue prints (Sam jaw dropped, Kara coughed) that set is here at L-Corp (biting her lip) also there's a base standard prototype. I've been working on the formulas and algorithms, it's not complete, not even close as I haven't had a chance to due to time constraints, lack of material and all the other work I have going on.
Sam (wondering what other things Lena was involved in that weren't part of her purview, Lena had told her that she was involved with DEO, Black Ops tech, medical tech yet Sam didn't know all the details and part of her didn't want to know): Gods Lena…
Kara (echoing the statement): What were you thinking?
Lena (trying to reassure the both of them): I'm here, I'm safe...
Sam (loudly): You put yourself knowingly in danger to trap a dangerous criminal…
Kara (another angle): Or was it something else (did this have to do with Lillian but that didn't make sense. Lillian Luthor was dead, they had buried her, or) oh Rao we need to check (letting the sentence go unfinished.)
Sam (glancing at Kara): That's impossible (disbelief) Lillian couldn't, wouldn't…
Lena (going over journals notes in her mind): You don't think that she's…
Sam (protectively): Whoever it is, whatever they want we'll keep you safe (vowing as she met Kara's gaze) but first we have to find out what we're dealing with.
Kara (unlocking her laptop): I'll start researching Cadmus locations, labs anything else where they operated out of.
Lena (unhappy): And here I'm stuck on the couch.
Sam (pointedly): It's for you own good. I'm going to let Jess know that you're not seeing visitors or other employees, and I'm canceling the rest of your meetings for today.
Lena (shifting): Sam that one investor meeting is really important.
Kara (kissing Lena softly): We'll take care of it.
Sam (checking the time): I've got fifteen minutes, I'll handle that meeting. You in the meantime stay right on this couch with Kara and relax.
Kara (checking another file): I'll continue to work on this.
Lena (pouting): Can I at least have my tablet?
Kara (looking at Sam): No, no tablet, no working and nothing else.
Sam (leaning over kissing Lena gently then tilting her head to capture Kara's lips): Don't let her get away with anything (kissing Kara again) nothing.
Lena (not wanting to be left out; leaning up the cupped Sam's jaw and gently pressed her lips, teasing Sam's lower lip with her tongue then nibbling lightly before pulling back, smirking. Kara ever impatient was kissing her before her thoughts could catch up and she felt Sam press against her back, Kara's tongue tracing the inside of her mouth; Sam's phone beeped as did Kara's laptop.) I wouldn't mind staying on the couch like this if that's what we did.
Sam (taking a breath): How is that resting and relaxing…
Kara (flustered): Rao…
Lena (seductively): Well there are several things you two can do that I wouldn't mind watching which would be…
Kara (blushing): Anything but restful…
Lena (protesting): Not if I just watched…
Sam (standing up before they did something that would cause a scandal and another PR issue, at least this one would be no never mind): You can never just sit and watch (grinning) I'm going to my meeting good luck (Kara would have her hands full with Lena.)
Kara (blowing out a breath): You close your eyes and be our good girl while I check into Cadmus (that name was nothing but a thorn in her side as well as the DEO's.)
Lena (retorting): I'm always a good girl (smirking.)
Kara (biting her lip): I beg to differ (trailing her fingers up and down Lena's thigh, Lena was antsy and energetic on the best of days, today being told to rest and relax for her health would equal boredom which would equal restlessness which would equal Lena acting out, knowing this from prior experience when L Lena had the flu.)
Lena (sitting up): Kara, love (blue eyes looked at her over the glasses) if you got my tablet (reaching up to remove the glasses) then I could do some reading totally not work related (moving closer, their lips a breath apart) or you could possibly think of some other way to (sliding her hand up Kara's chest to her neck) relieve the boredom.
Kara (swallowing, the heat from Lena's breath, their bodies, the seductive tone, frustrates and arouses her at the same time): I think (Lena needed to rest and if they continued that would be the last thing Lena would be getting) I think you need to lay back down (an adorable pout and wide green eyes stared at her) and rest and (a kiss against the corner of Lena's mouth) no tablet. (Kara barely resisted Lena, could barely resist her even in moments like this but she had to, however Lena would pay for it later after she tells Sam what Lena tried.)
Lena (huffing): Kara please (seeing Kara's laptop) how about you bring that over here so I can read what you're working on (shifting so Kara could see how her shirt had fallen open, her black bra on display) I've got a few ideas that might help.
Kara (Lena was trying her patience; she knew exactly what Lena was doing): Lena I'm on to you and you're not getting your laptop, tablet or other electronic device no matter hard you try. You're relentless and no (a pout) Lena you heard what Alex said (lower lip sticking out) and I'm not giving you what you want, no matter what tactic you try (arms folded across her chest) and if you continue then Sam and I are going to have to discuss what to do with your bad behavior. (Green eyes widened.)
Sam finished up the meeting, the investors were on board and she would have the contracts set for tomorrow. Picking up her laptop she made her way into the hallway, unlocking her phone she checked the four new messages, one was another readout for the EKG, the next was from Alex that confirmed it was within range, the next one was from Kara "Flirtatious CEO refuses to have EKG done, said CEO is also trying to flirt and seduce her way out of trouble. How long until you finish your meeting?"
Sam's House
2030
At 1730 all three women decided to head to Sam's house for the night. Neither woman wanted to be alone, so they agreed to meet at Sam's house with over night bags and spend the night. They all felt a little relieved that they would be together and neither woman would be left alone if the need for Supergirl or Reign was needed. Kara said that if the DEO needed help then Kara would be the one to answer as Supergirl and Sam would stay at home with Lena and Ruby.
They had finished watching Maleficent with Ruby after a wonderful dinner of homemade beef and chicken tacos. Ruby was upstairs taking a shower or doing her homework, Sam kept one ear open for her daughter and another tuned into Lena's heartbeat, Sam also knew Kara was doing the same, tuning into Lena's heart. Alex had informed them that Lena's heart rate seemed to be in range but strongly advised monitoring for the next 24 to 48 hours.
Sam carded her fingers through her hair, frustrated, frustrated at Lena and her stubbornness, frustrated at the beautiful brunette for not heeding medical advice or the advice of her lovers. A smiled tugged at her lips, Lena had proceeded to delve right back into work when she and Kara were standing on the balcony outside Lena's office. Kara on the phone to Cat Grant, Sam herself talking to Ruby about her day at school, dinner and movie night.
Lena had decided to ignore her health, remove the leads from the EKG, get off the couch, retrieve her laptop and several reports, then reattach the leads to the EKG, settle back on the couch and delve right back right into work. Lena's playful smirk and sultry voice telling them that at least she was still on the couch with her feet. Lena proceeding to carry on like nothing happened and her defense was she was still on the couch.
Sam and Kara had looked at each other in exasperation, Lena was pushing their buttons, they both knew and they both would have to deal with it, the question remained how. Sam licked her lips, Ruby was home and anything she and Kara might want to do with Lena tonight, would have to wait. Kara had several suggestions, considering they had a teenager in the house they couldn't carry out those suggestions as enticing as they sounded. Lena's mental health was a concern as well, as well as their own mental health, so what to do. A misbehaving CEO was one thing, dealing with said CEO was another but they all had to be on the same page with plenty of time to talk, explore different options without anyone or anything interrupting them (Supergirl and Reign duties included.)
Sam and Kara had discussed their beautiful genius CEO of a girlfriend and the fact that their beautiful genius CEO that ignored her health and well being while said CEO was in the shower. Kara and Sam wanted, actually ached for the three of them to have time together, further deepen their relationship and explore each other with abandon. The question came back to what to do with Lena, though. She couldn't get away with thinking she could ignore her health, flirt and seduce (they didn't mind that one bit) Sam and Kara, for Lena to get her own way (that they minded.)
Sam and Kara were readying the spare bed, maybe it had been the gentle brushing of their hands, maybe it had been the way the light brought out the gold flecks in Sam's eyes, maybe it was the way Kara's eyes seemed to glow, maybe it was the acknowledgment that they were here after a long emotional day, together. It didn't matter as it had started with a gentle kiss, a press of lips and a seductive glance, the next thing Sam knew, Kara had pushed Sam down on the bed then Kara was straddling Sam's lap, their mouths pressing together as Sam pulled Kara closer, grabbing her ass, pulling Kara's hips into hers, needing as much contact as they could get. Sam could taste the hot chocolate on Kara's tongue, taste the way Kara needed her as much as Sam needed Kara. Both women reveling in the taste and feel of each, the fact they didn't have to keep their strength in check, the fact that they didn't have to always be strong, carrying the weight of the world literally on their shoulders. They heard the padding of footsteps then the door opening but continued the passionate embrace knowing it was Lena by her heartbeat. Their very reason for existing and being who they were entering the room a soft gasp echoing softly.
Lena (shutting the door quickly and engaging the lock, they didn't Ruby to walk in on them, especially with the gorgeous sight in front of; licking lips, trying to form a coherent thought as watched Kara and Sam. Her legs felt weak, her skin flush, the pull of her two magnificent women like a siren's song, setting her blood on fire and arousal to burn low in her belly. Sam and Kara had no idea, absolutely none on how hot they were together. Temptation, lust, desire personified, wetness coated her inner thighs and they hadn't even noticed her let alone touched her.
Kara and Sam continued, kissing, practically devouring each other, moving sensually against each other; Lena admiring the way their mouths moved together, throat muscles straining, Sam's hand cupping Kara's ass, Kara's hand on Sam's hip, teasing the waist band of her running shorts, breaths and moans echoing softly. Lena shifted, watching, arousal coating her inner thighs, a moment their faces pressed together, gazes filled with affection, love, want then heir gaze landed on Lena, admiring the raven haired beauty in the soft robe, gaze hungry, predatory, Lena felt as though she were drowning or falling, they would catch her, then they would consume her, consume each other in a fiery blaze.
Lena watching as Kara caressed Sam's face gently, then turned so they could appreciate the view of Lena fresh out of the shower, wrapped in a soft robe, hair slicked back, lips parted, green eyes swirling with emotions and all thoughts of talking went out the proverbial window as they both reached for Lena tugging her gently until she landed in Sam's lap strong arms immediately wrapping around her and Kara, wrapping around them both.
Sam (pressing her lips to Lena's ear): I'm…
Lena (knowing what Sam was going to say): I know (shifting, until all the three of them are piled on the bed, pressed close together and it is enough) you don't have to explain Sam.
Kara (wrapping her arms around them): Being here, together, that's what matters.
Lena (reassuring Sam): Me too, I'm with you both, safe, loved, cared for. (Resting her head against Sam's neck, Kara placing soft kisses just below her ear.)
Sam (grateful that the Lena and Kara understood that with Ruby in the house, they couldn't go any further even though they wanted too): This isn't the way I had thought about our night going.
Lena (teasing): And how did you want the night to go, love?
Kara (pressing a kiss to Lena's pulse point): Certainly more of this, talking about your (flustered as her hand grazed Lena's thigh, her very naked thigh) oh Rao…
Sam (smiling; it amazed her that Kara blushed, fumbled and stuttered when talking about anything remotely sexual, it was a whole other thing when they were passionately entwined with one another, making love, then again actions did always speak louder than words): About how you have to take better care of yourself Lena and how (trailing her fingers down Lean's neck, tracing her thumb over Lena's bottom lip) bad girls don't deserve rewards. (Silence filled the room, as the air around them crackled with the tension of unfulfilled desire, panting breaths scattered between soft murmurs and reassurances. Heartbeats slamming against rib cages then Lena captured Kara's mouth with hers, then Sam's, trying to convey in her kiss her love, what she wanted, feeling the heat of hazel and blue eyes burning into her, a growl from who she couldn't tell, pulling back, Sam eyes darkened with emotions so strong Lena felt them in her soul as Kara's hands gripped her hips, anchoring them in the moment.
Sam (pressing her head to Lena's): Gods I love you, both of you so much (closing her eyes for a moment reveling in the love they shared, how entwined they were with one another on so many levels, no words needed to express emotions that could not be put into words.)
Lena (rubbing Sam's back): I love you, the both of you (never thinking she could ever find half of the love they shared, she had hit the jackpot royally and would do whatever it took to keep it.)
Kara (hugging both of them tighter to her): Three heartbeats into one, you two are my heart and I love you.
They held each other for a long moment, for now it was enough that they were here, it was enough that they were safe and it was more than enough that whatever happened they would face it together. They were building something beyond words, something deeper than either woman thought possible. Sam and Kara silently vowed to keep Lena safe, vowed to make her feel loved and vowed to protect her from everything including herself.
