It's been a week since Lex Luthor died after a horrible car crash.

He was 29 years old, a brilliant scientist and business man with all the good fortune in the world and a dream career with so much potential to come but alas he still lost his life unexpectedly, leaving a huge legacy behind and a fortune people would be jealous to have. That didn't mean that he didn't have his bad habits, being a player and adrenaline seeker being one and the cause of his demise 

As a very thorough person in life he had foreseen in the case of such an event happening and that's what brings us in this moment: the reading of his will 

There were 3 people in the room right this moment, one person being the lawyer and the other two the two people Lex ever loved with all his heart when he was alive, his little sister and his best friend

Lena Luthor, 25 years old, as much if not even more a genius than her brother, the only family member of his to still be alive and only heir of the Luthor fortune, well at least to her knowledge so far. The death of her brother devastated her, being a little of a recluse didn't help much she spent the time after the funeral getting drunk at the comfort of her house, getting a scandal of being publicly drunk after the funeral was a no no, she needed to maintain an image in order to preserve her brother's company she would never think of it as hers. Working helped, well everything fell into her hands after Lex's demise so she had to step up and the woman people expected her to be. That didn't mean that she was sober doing it though. Now she was here sitting next to the person she despised most in the world waiting for the reading of the will getting prepared to gain full access to her brother's fortune if only she knew...

Kara Danvers, 27 years old, reporter at Catco Worldwide Media, one of the youngest Pulitzer winners to date which boosted her ego to the roof, outgoing, heart of the party and huge womaniser, well she's bisexual but women were more to her taste. Her and Lex met when they were younger and had been thick as thieves ever since still though they like to compete about things, egomaniacs both. The most recent one was that they were competing to see who would get the most "dates", they even had a bet which was now null and void. Kara was too devastated by her best friend's death, but she coped better, well different than Lena, she went from party to party, celebrating her friends life in the process. She was common feature on the gossip media, she and Lex, for their partying ways but now it was over the roof after the news of the accident, but she didn't care. Now she was sitting next to her friend's little sister, she had a crush on her when she was younger but after a while she got over it after the way Lena acted around her like she was superior. 

The lawyer, Harvey Dent (kudos to anyone who figures out who he is 😉), entered the room and cleared his throat to draw their attention "Miss Luthor, miss Danvers, I'm really sorry for your loss, Lex was a brilliant business man and scientist, he and his work will definitely be missed, but now we are here for a very specific reason his will. He entrusted me with his last wishes and the procedure of everything, the papers of everything that you might need to get into possession his fortune is with me, all you need to do is to sign some papers but before that you need to see the video where he makes his heirs known and of course the divide of his fortune..."

"What do you mean by heirs, Mr Dent? I'm the only living family of his..." Lena interrupted

"Everything will be explained in the video Miss Luthor, Lex has been thorough as always in this issue... I'll just play it because I see that you're confused" Dent exclaimed

He pressed a button on his desk and a tv was revealed in the opposite side of the room, showing Lex's face at first sight 

He pressed play

Ace, Supergirl if you're watching this video... Well it means I'm dead, yeah dead I know Lena you're cursing at me for leaving so soon and having you take my responsibilities but I know you will do great, you're a Luthor after all. Supergirl, apparently and due to technicalities you have won the bet even though we both know that i would have won, the ladies always wanted me more than you and before you argue just remember I'm dead so just stop... Feel guilty whatever... 

Anyways let's start what you're both there for because I know you're getting antsy being near and want to leave each others presence and never see each other again. Lex smirked evily 

Supergirl since I lost the bet, the Lamborghini is yours, take care of her, you know she's my favourite so I'll haunt you from the afterlife if I so much as even see a smudge on her. Also there's something else that I need from you but first I need to give Ace's part of the fortune. 

Ace, you're smart I don't even need to tell you that everything is yours, you're a Luthor so of course it's yours but... There is a catch with it... and that's where Kara's part comes in...

My house, my favourite one in the city, has been named to both of you and you have to live together for a minimum of a year and then decide who will get it in the end... Oh and if you don't everything and I mean everything will go to Morgan Edge...

And with that I'll leave you because even in death I will hear your screams

Later love you both... 


"WHAT?!" 

I don't even have to tell you who said that...
