Chapter 3

Alex's P.O.V.

Leaving the DEO, I can't seem to shake the instant shame that settled deep within my chest at my parting words to Kara. Deep down I know, I know Kara has the best judgement of all of us, she is far better at keeping her head on straight in situations that would make me go crazy and disregard orders. So, I know, I know that Lena isn't like the rest of her family merely because Kara says so.

I mean the woman captured my little sisters heart for longer than a few weeks. Growing up, watching Kara fumble through high school was borderline painful. Regardless if you are human or an alien from Krypton all creatures go through a time in their life where hormones run rampant. And Kara, a few years off of losing her whole world was struggling with new powers and new feelings. I sat back and watched as she isolated from herself, not living up to the full high school experience because the one time she did... well she broke the poor dudes nose.

If Kara felt it within herself to become truly relaxed in someone's presence, then that person really did hold her heart.

I find myself sitting on my bike, my arms resting on the handlebars as I stare straight ahead.

A Luthor... that is where I found myself on repeat.

What if she is plotting a slow play, where she gets Kara and her friends comfortable with her around before she strikes, making it all that much worse...

Groaning I fail to hear the footsteps slowly making their way to me.

" I take it whatever has you out here sulking is part of the reason that Kara is in my facility crying?" Looking up I see Jonn looming over me with his arms crossed, a stern, fatherly look coating his face.

"She's crying?" It's a fucking stupid question, of course your little sister is crying, you basically questioned her love for you... you made it sound like Kara was choosing that woman over you...which isn't that what she is doing...she threatened me if I laid a finger on her... a serious threat at that.

Jonn is silent as he looks at me, letting me deal with my racing thoughts.

"Kara has been in a relationship with Lena, that's where she's been the last three days... she was with that woman." I can't stop the venom in my voice at the end, "I don't trust her with my sister."

"I can see that. But answer me this Alex," Jonn uncrosses his arms and places a hand on one of my tense shoulders. "Did you ever stop to think that Kara doesn't trust you around Lena?"

I snap my head so fast to look up at Jonn that I hear my neck crack in a few places. "What?!"

"You don't trust Lena with Kara's heart but you expect Kara to trust you with the knowledge that she loves a Luthor. And look at how you rewarded her, you stormed away in a rage." His voice was even, but I could hear his disappointment, his disappointment in me...

"How are you okay with this?" I interrupt, so not ready to look deeper into the double standard Jonn was pointing out. "Kara told that woman about who she is, about the DEO!"

"Enough!" Jonn finally lost his patience. "Kara is by no means under the DEO's control, who she tells her secret to is her choice, do I wish less people knew, of course, I want nothing but for her and you to be safe but Kara is an adult Alex. As for her revealing to Lena about the DEO, I will have a talk with her about that. I know you are used to protecting her but she is an adult Alex, an adult with her own heart and that heart fell in love with Lena."

He pauses and lets his words sink in. I know that he is right but I spent my whole life almost protecting Kara, it was something that was hard to shut off on a dime. I sigh. "I don't trust her Jonn, I don't."

"Then take these as your final orders for the day and then you can go home. Go talk with Ms. Luthor, clear the air, because I am certain if you see Lena in person you will see the love that the woman carries for your sister." His voice was soft and his gaze kind.

"How are you okay with this?" My voice was no longer harsh but curious.

"Because I watched as for the last six months Kara has seemed happier, lighter, like she wasn't still carrying the weight of Krypton's death on her shoulders anymore. Did I know who this mystery person was, no, but I had suspicions. But anyone that can make Kara smile wider than normal couldn't have a single evil bone in their body." He takes a step back, holding out my helmet that was hanging from the handlebars. "Now go, learn something new about National City's resident Luthor, you might be surprised."


Lena's P.O.V.

I'm sore...

And it's all Kara's fault...

Beautiful, sexy and adorable Kara's fault...

Was this meeting over yet?

Kara after a solar flare was a force to be reckoned with, no longer fearful of breaking me in the absolute throes of passion, she could hold me to her with all the strength she humanly had...

And I couldn't wait to do it all again tonight...

That is all I can think about as I listen to entitled men try and tell me how to run my company, like I wasn't the CEO or anything. I wasn't truly listening anymore just catching bits and pieces here and there.

For another thirty minutes proposals were set for new mergers and new projects before i called the meeting to an end. Walking back to the elevator that would lead me up a few floors to my office I feel a presence behind me.

"Henry, was there something else that you wanted to speak with me about?" My voice was curt.

Henry Collier, an aging, bald, overweight man who was one of the last left from my brother's reign within the company. Many of the members from back then had either drank themselves to death, were forced out by myself or left siting that I would run the company to the ground, that only a real Luthor should run Luthor Corp.

"I was just wondering why the Alien Detection device wasn't on the market yet, you signed off on the finally plans near 9 months ago now?" His voice was falsely sweet, like I would fall the feet that he couldn't see just with the change of tone. Oh, how wrong he was.

Stepping out, with him following me I see Jess motion for my attention but I hold up a finger to her. "Because Mr. Collier I scrapped the idea." I stopped before Jess's desk and turned to the sleazy man. The way his face reddened with anger almost made me smile, almost.

"You scrapped...do you have any idea how much money that could have made this company? With a bit of well-timed fear people would have flocked to the stores to buy an alien detection device, and you what? Had a change of heart?" I could see that he wanted to yell, to make a scene in the empty office but I knew he would hold back...so I pushed him to forget what little manners he had.

"Yes, a change of heart," Kara. "It would have done more damage than good Mr. Collier so I scrapped the project. It cost the company nothing as it was my own money that I put into the device as a personal project that I no longer felt was necessary."

And I watched with an invisible smile as what restraint the man had...snapped. "You are a fool, it's no wonder Lillian did everything that she could to keep you from running the company, she would have succeeded too if it wasn't for Lex. And shame on that man thinking that you would have followed in his vision. You truly are the worthless Luthor. You don't have what it takes to run this company!"

"And tell me, what does it take to run L-Corp? Since you seem to know what it takes." I cross my arms trying to keep my fury hidden. I promised Kara that I would be safe and this was a man that would have no qualms about sending hitmen after me if he didn't get his way. But I was so tired of listening to how he thought I should run the company, my company, not his.

"It takes a healthy dose of disdain for aliens to run Luthor Corp. You are fool to think that one-day Supergirl herself will come after you, they are a danger to the human race, and without a proper leader like Lex the world will fall under their spell."

The ravings of a mad man, Lex's favorite company. "You truly are a fool Mr. Collier," I tried to stop the Irish accent from coming out but this man had pushed the final button. "This world doesn't need a man stopping at nothing to achieve god-hood. It needs someone to act as a go between humans and aliens. It needs to understand that the aliens that have found their way to our world, have lost their own, their families, their homes. Are some bad...yea. Aliens don't leave a bad mark on the human race, we do that our selves. Now," I sigh peaking over at Jess whose eyes shoot to look behind me, at what I do not know. "If you would be so kind as too pack up your office and see yourself out. This company has no place for someone like you in it anymore. This is no longer Lex's company, its mine, something you seem to have forgotten."

He turns in a rage to head back to the elevator, I stay to ensure that he is leaving and not waiting for me to turn my back to him, to keep him away from Jess. Just as the lift arrives he lets out one more jab. "Your little friendship with that Supergirl will be the death of you, she can't be trusted."

"I trust her more than I will ever trust you. Might want to start looking for work outside of National City, I will make it my personal goal to ensure that no one in this city will want to hire you." And with that the doors close on out conversation, taking him down to his soon to be empty office. I sigh and turn to look at Jess, letting my shoulders fall. "Please make sure that security knows to watch him closely until he is blocks away from the building." My voice was no longer that of the CEO, I was too tired for that.

I knew that Jess had seen me at my worse, and she was one of the few that knew of my relationship with Kara, while the woman didn't know that Kara was Supergirl, I could see that she had a hunch. And yet she never asked questions, she truly was the best assistant I could ever ask for.

"Please hold all calls, I'm going to check up on Kara, she had a long few days." I see Jess smile but it was more reserved. "What is it Jess?" My voice still tired.

"Behind you Ms. Luthor, is um...well it's..."

"Ms. Luthor." I know that voice, the slightly hardened edge tinged with a softness that was hard to eradicate. Turning around I come face to face with someone that I know, knows everything. I knew that when I took advantage of Kara's solar flare I was sending out a signal that Kara Danvers was mine.

"Alex Danvers, what can I do for you?"
