Lena Luthor was confused. She woke to paparazzi in the front lawn of her property. Okay that wasn't shocking as she was one of the most known celebrities in Hollywood. What she didn't understand was the phone call she recieved from her agent, Cat Grant. She warned Lena not to say anything until she arrived, which should be in 20 minutes. At least she could enjoy a cup of coffee and her new book.
When the front door opened she knew it would be Cat. She came in with a hurry and looked every bit like a mother about to reprimand her child. That confused Lena even more. What had she done now?
„You know I blame you for half of my gray hairs."
„Good Morning to you too, Cat! How are you? Is Carter all right?" smiled Lena at her agent sarcastically. „I have no idea what your talking about."
„Have you not checked the news yet!? Of course what was I thinking, you don't read the news only your books." scoffed Cat.
„Whatever. Just tell me what's going on."
„You have to promise me not to freak out. You're too dramatic as it is."
„Fine. Can you just tell me already?" Lena asked the blonde woman.
„Yesterday your dear brother was arrested for harbouring and selling stolen drugs. What worsens the situation is that he was found in the coat that you gave him. Now people are speculating your involvement in the whole fiasco."
Lena was thanking God that Cat was there to hold her back otherwise she would have marched to the precinct to beat up Lex. To think she was just being a good sister gifting his brother something for his birthday.
„That stupid little shit!"
„I know it seems bad… Well, it IS bad, but hopefully it will be over by the end of the week. Until then don't leave this house." advised Cat. „And don't you think of visiting him in jail!"
After going over the dos and don'ts Cat left to brainstorm and to write a press release. Both women knew it was going to be a long week especially with Lena's newest movie coming out in the next few weeks.
The brunette couldn't help but find the situation a little ironic. Lillian always said that she was the troublemaker and Lex was the Golden Boy. He couldn't do anything wrong. How the tables have turned.

The movie was a hit, the critics liked it, the audience loved it and the stars were happy with the way it turned out. Lena was still wary about the media and the news her name appeared in contained Lex's as well. It was decidedly not good press.
She was due to Cat's office to talk about righting her reputation. She was just about to knock on the door when that opened and Lena was almost koncked over by a tall, blonde haired, muscular woman. The muscular part was even more evident when she catched lena in her arms. When the brunette looked up she was met with sparkling blue eyes and a wide but apologetic smile. As she was trying to regain her footing she noticed that her savior actually had really short hair and was dressed in sweats and a cut off top, drool worthy arms on full display. They were just looking at each other, neither saying a word.
„Who wants some water? It's getting hot in here and both of you look thirsty."
To Lena's embarrasment it was Cat who broke the silence.
„Oh uh… no I- hmm, I gotta go. I have an album to write, don't I?" joked the blonde who Lena stil didn't know but as if reading her thoughts she offer her hand to Lena. „I'm Kara Danvers. I have a band called Argo. We are in the middle of making our third album."
„Lena Luthor. I'll make sure to check you out." flirted Lena, intetionally giving Kara a once-over while biting down on her lip.
„Uhm. Thanks. I really gotta get going but it was a pleasure to meet you Lena Luthor."
„The pleasure was all mine." smiled the actress at the blushing blonde.
When Kara left Lena was a little sad but then it was back to business with Cat. As she was closing the door she felt Cat's eyes on her. There was a devilish look on her face that scared Lena a little.
„What?" asked the brunette as she sat down.
„I just figured out how to get your good reputation back. Now get up. We're going to your girlfriend's studio."
„Uhm Cat? Slight problem. I don't have a girlfriend."
„Neither has Kara so it'll be perfect. Now chop-chop I don't have all day." urged the blonde as she was getting in the car.
„Wait what? Kara? Cat what are you talking about? What are you doing?" Lena couldn't wrap her head around what was happening.
„Getting you a girlfriend of course."
„NO! No, Cat you can't make me fake date someone just to get good media."
„Sorry, can't stop it now, I already told someone about the sparks I witnessed at your first meeting. My guess is someone is already writing an article on that. And we're here."
Cat got out of the car pulling a still reluctant Lena after her. They quickly found the correct floor and they were on their way up, up and away with the elevator. The 15th floor was spacious and filled with huge posters and platinum records. The women could hear a band practicing or maybe recording. Guessing it to be Argo they followed the sounds. They found them in the middle of recording.
Lena finally got her first glimpse of the band. There were 4 members. Kara was at the front with a guitar hanging from her broad shoulders and was the lead if the acrtess heard correctly. A short, auburn haired and very attractive woman managed the drums with quite ipressive skills while singing the background vocals. A tall guy was also playing the guitar and another very attractive woman was playing the bass.
When the song ended Cat banged on the glass to get the band's attention. Kara's eyes widen when she saw Lena but then her face shone with a smile and Lena felt a little better about disturbing her practice.
„Lena, Cat! To what do I owe this wonderful surprise?" asked Kara as she stepped through the door.
„We're here to talk business. Is there a quiter place we could go?' Cat didn't hesitate to ask the blonde.
Before Kara could answer the rest of the band came into the room and the tall man was eyeing Lena, clearly interested in her.
He stepped to her and reached out with a smile waiting for a handshake. She felt a weird vibe coming off of him.
„Hi, I'm James Olsen. Pleasure meeting you. Can I help you anything?"
„Lena. I'm afraid this does not concern you." Lena still didn't shake his hand just went around him to introduce herself to the still unknown ladies. „Lena Luthor. Nice to meet you."
„Yo, I'm Alex Danvers, Kara's sister. Pleasure." said the drummer in a much more faminine voice than Lena expected.
„Hello, my name is Nia Nal. And those two weirdos are Winn and Brainy our sound engineers and producers." smiled the brunette as she introduced the guys who Lena didn't even notice up until now.
„Lena? Are you ready to go?" inquired her her agent.
„Yes, let's get over it. It was nice meeting you."
„I'll be back in a jiffy." announced Kara smiling the whole time.
'"Jiffy? Who uses that word?" laughed the actress.
„Okay I know but when I came here it was hard for me. A new language that I didn't know much about. I mean I knew a few words but my vocabulary was almost nonexistent. So Alex, my sister, the drummer thought it would be a good idea to learn funny words and whatnot. Sorry I'm rambling." blushed the singer.
„No, don't worry about it, it was cute. Now that you say I can hear a slight accent. Where are you from? And how come Alex knew these words?" Lena was intrigued by the blonde woman and her history.
„Oh yeah sorry. The reason Alex knew these was because she was born here. You see I was adopted when I was 13 years old. The house we lived in caught on fire and my parents didn't make it out." Lena could hear the sadness in her voice.
„Oh sorry, I didn't"
„No, don't apologise, you didn't know and it was a long time ago. To answer your question my real home is Hungary. A small but beautiful country in the heart of Europe. I go back every year for a few weeks just so I don't forget the language and to learn the new slang." joked the blonde.
„What a coincidence I also am from Europe. My mother was Irish. And just so you know you are not alone, I was adopted too. My mother died when I was four and the Luthors adopted me. Too little to hold the accent. But I do like to make trips out there. Can you say something in Hungarian? I'm curious what it sounds like."
„Több millió ember, de egy sem olyan különleges és csodálatos, mint te, Lena Luthor." answered the blonde in her native tounge while looking Lena in the eyes.
„What does that mean? It's sounds much more complicated than I expected I must admit."
„Ohm I just said that today's a sunny day." told her the singer as she looked away and blushed slightly. „And if you think it's sounds complicated you should see how it looks written down."
„I don't want to break up your lovefest but could we maybe get started?" asked Cat.
„Rig-right, yes, the thing we need to talk about. What is that thing again?" answered an adorably flustered Kara Danvers.
„I want you to date Lena."
