The board doesn't take it well, it is needless to say that they don't like feeling like they have no control and when the two most powerful people on the board, the CEO, and COO are living together, and in a relationship. It makes them more than a little nervous. Especially the old white men who dislike the idea of two women on a board let alone two women in a relationship. They launch an injunction to fire Kara and Lena immediately on the grounds of a conflict of interest.

They fail spectacularly when Legal and HR both produce the paperwork for Kara's degrees and tell them that it was a predeclared ongoing relationship. All in all, it gives Lena the capital she needs to finally dismiss several of the board members and replace them with people actually capable of doing their jobs.

By the end of the day, Lena and Kara become even more legendary than they were before. Amongst the LGBTQ+ communities, they were famous for both being highly placed women in love, who took shit from no one. The media saw them as the newest power couple on the scenes, many of them already taking to calling them Karlena.

But amongst the business world, their legend was even greater, already stories were beginning to circulate about how they had orchestrated a purge of their own board. And amongst those in the departments below them, there were already rumours about how crazy skilled and smart Kara must be considering she had managed to straighten out half a dozen departments by the end of business day one.

And how on day two she managed to save a half a billion dollars while giving the employees better healthcare. Already people were touting her as the next up and coming businesswoman and wondering where in hell Lena found her.

Day three was met by Cat Grant sweeping into the office, glasses perched on her face she sweeps right past Jess, and Kara`s own assistant (which I don't need Lena) Mike (whom yes, you do need Kara). She manages to sweep right past both assistants and walk in on Kara and Lena half in the others lap as they sit on the loveseat in Kara`s office. Both are working on their tablets, but even then it is clear to everyone just how much they value the other`s being beside them. Cat manages to snap a quick picture her flash attracting the attention of the pair. Kara moves to get up, but Lena firmly refuses to move, staying planted in Kara`s lap, stopping the blonde dead in her tracks.

"ahh… Catherine, so good to see you" Lena says with a smirk

"you too Morgana." Cat says a challenging lilt to her voice

"ok fine… good to see you Cat."

"you too Lena."

"Ms Luthor, I'm so sorry! She ran right past me" Jess says quickly moving into the office Mike hot on her heels. Not even realising what she's interrupting.

"That's ok Jess, Ms Grant is an old friend, you can go back to whatever you were doing" Lena says a smile on her face

"Yes Miss Luthor" Jess says a little shocked but not questioning it as she makes for the door. Pulling a gaping Mike behind her as she shuts it

It's only when the door clicks that Kara recovers "Wait, you two know each other?" Kara asks looking between the two women

"Yes Dear we know each other" Lena says a soft smile on her face

"But, she knows who you really are" Kara half whisper yells in her shock

"Well do you want to tell her or should I?" Cat asks giving Lena a look of mild disappointment

Lena seems to swallow back something, Kara has the distinct impression it's some bad memories "No…no… I will"

Kara pats her thigh in a show of silent support promoting Lena to continue "We met, back in the 60's Cat was looking into some rumours she had heard about some paranormal events…"

"Which I was right about by the way" Cat says cutting in

Lena gives her a look as she breathes out heavily, before continuing "Yes, well, as I was saying, I was trying to help some young men avoid the draft. And Cat ever then the intrepid little reporter she was, decided to look into it. It was a hard time what with the Cold War going on and with tensions so high I didn't even realise until I'd done it until it was almost too late. I ended up using magic to blast Cat into another dimension thinking she was from the recruitment offices. Luckily I realised and managed to go get her." At this she manages to chuckle a little "We've been friends ever since"

Lena was waiting for the tensing of Kara's muscles as she hears the story, it's not a story Lena is particularly proud of. after all it isn't generally every day that she blasts a 12 year old into another dimension.

"Ooooh, was it Earth 1 with all the superheroes, or what about Earth 2 with the whole steampunk thing. Maybe Earth 23 with those annoying bounty hunters" Kara asks her voice shining with excitement

"You've been to other Earths?" Lena asks a little shocked

"Well yeah, remember I told you I went to help by friend Barry," at Lena's still slightly unsure look she continues "The Flash"

"You mean The Streak is from another dimension… huh that explains a lot…" Cat says looking mildly pensive.

It's then that Lena gets what she feared "so which dimension was it anyway?" Kara asks inquisitively "was it like here at all?"

Lena chuckles mirthlessly, a growing weight in her stomach "you could say that"

"So which one was it Lee? come on tell me" Kara says pouting

Lena steels herself, breathing out heavily she says "this one"

Kara blinks… she blinks again… she bursts out laughing " seriously Lee which dimension was it?"

"I'm serious Kara"

"Wait, so you're a sorceress, from another dimension?"

At Lena's sheepish nod Kara visibly gapes before suddenly she is looking at Lena in wonder "oh my god, how amazing is that! What was it like? Did you go back there? Did you have the Beatles? Did you guys have Churros?"

"Everyone has the Beatles" Cat says with a little chuckle even as Lena shoots her a look

"Wait, you're not angry?" Lena asks

"No? Why would I be angry?" Kara asks confused puppy expression in full effect

"Because I didn't tell you, we agreed no more secrets and I didn't tell you" Lena says like it's obvious

Kara's eyes look into her own as if into her soul as she asks "Did you intentionally not tell me?"

"Well…no" Lena says

Kara smiles "Then why would I be angry?"she asks pecking a stunned Lena on the cheek

Ignoring The smirking Cat watching them Lena continues to think a few moments before nodding. And surely enough barely moments later they are interrupted by the phone ringing.

Lena sighs as she walks over to answer it before picking up the handset "Lena Luthor speaking"

"Ms Luthor, this is Dr Brown down in R&D, we have a problem"

Several hours later Kara is watching as Lena sits at her desk working on something to do with a meta-materials alloy to be used in limb replacement. As soon as she had gotten off the phone Lena had given her apologies and made her way into her office, activating the privacy screen. Cat had stayed for about half an hour before Carter called her because of some problems with his father.

Just before she had to leave Cat gave Kara a hug and said "don't you dare hurt her" and just like that Cat had left the building the only sign she was ever there the empty Latte in the trash and the image she had sent to Kara's phone of her and Lena.

Kara looks out the window noticing that the sun has set and that night has fallen, its nearly 9PM and Lena doesn't look like she's going to be done any time soon. She quickly sends Jess a message telling her and Mike to go home. She is unsurprised when Jess tells her Mike had left hours ago and that she is heading out. If there was one person who Kara knows works as hard as Lena it was Jess.

She moves to the privacy screen and deactivated it before padding in to stand behind Lena. She places a hand on either shoulder and bends down to press a kiss against Lena's neck, letting out a little hum of satisfaction as she does so. She watches the way that Lena seems to relax under her touch and turns to look at her. She can't help the giggle when Lena pecks her on the nose smiling softly.

"Have you tried using a hypercooling agent to sublimate the Xeno-ions in a high frequency particle beam?" Kara asks shifting her attention to the papers on Lena's desk

Lena looks at Kara, then looks at the paper, then back at Kara before smiling brightly. She quickly writes Kara's suggestion down and sends it off to engineering for them to get started on in the morning before turning back to the blonde "have I ever told you how sexy it is when you talk science?" Lena husks

"Once or twice" Kara says moving in toward Lena's lips

"Hmmm… well Ms Danvers… it is extremely sexy" Lena whispers against Kara's lips "what say you and I get out of here, maybe try out those new lights the DEO installed"

Kara gives her most flirtatious smile, which is ruined when her stomach chooses that moment to growl like a tiger.

"First though, let's feed the beast" Lena teases laughing at Kara's crinkle. Seconds later Lena is waving her hand and in moments they are standing in the dining room of their home.

It's a few moments before Kara notices distracted as she is by Lena and the whole teleportation thing. But then Kara notices what is on the table as her mouth begins to water at the piles of food that Lena has made appear from practically nowhere with but a wave of her hand

They sit through dinner sharing bits of small talk as well as discussing work until finally they are finished and this time there are no interruptions as Lena pulls Kara into their bedroom, a soft red glow emitting from under the closed door
