The Kryptonian CEO

Chapter 2: Running

The faint tapping of Lena's fingers glided along the keyboard as she went through every whisper, every sighting of this caped hero. Whoever or whatever this hero was, they seemed to be handling crimes both big and small. It all had started off innocently enough when reports of a figure with blonde hair and sparklingly clear eyes had been spotted hovering over the national city skyline. Their uniform was a mix of red and blue hues, an S formed on the center of their chest. Unlike most heroes this one forewent a mask, allowing their facial features to be seen.

Eventually Lena would grow frustrated as the reports had very little information on who this hero was, where they had come from, what they wanted, how their powers worked. "Someone must know something about National cities hero" she muttered to herself all the while pondering who would have information on such a figure. Within national city there might be two places who could provide the kind of information Lena was looking for. Those being the DEO and the N.C.P.D.

The day after the encounter with Morgan Edge, including the near reveal of her powers, Kara found herself wondering what Lena would think of her dual identity. Would she hate her for lying? Would she turn on her like Lex did to Kal? Logically Kara knew that Lena wasn't Lex but how could she justify taking a risk, revealing her true identity to Lena, when as far as Lena was aware, the blonde was simply the CEO of Danvers corp, nothing more, nothing less.

As much as Kara seemed invincible, seemed untouchable, her heart was vulnerable, was all too easy to hurt. As Super girl she was meant to be a symbol of strength, of compassion, of humanity, but as Kara Danvers? She was all too susceptible to wave after wave of varying emotions, a stark contrast to her icily logical and quick-tempered CEO persona. Outside of work hours, she did try to always have a smile, a compliment ready for anyone she met, but being the more chipper Danvers sister did eventually take a toll.

When things got too bad, Kara would seek release, which left her with two options. Either she hit up the gym or she sought out someone to warm her bed, as she had done these past few months, working her way through the national city's most eligible women. Of these women she had slept with there had been Lucy Lane, Samantha Arias, Cat Grant, Eve Tesmacher Andrea Rojas, Imra Ardeen. This gave her the reputation of a playboy much like Gotham cities Bruce Wayne had before he settled down.

Did she truly care about any of them? Or was Kara just using them to avoid thinking about the issues that plagued her mind. Chief among these issues were could she truly trust anyone? Did anyone actually see her or only what she could do for them? This had been proven right after it had been revealed that Andrea and Eve had been using her to fund their lavish lifestyles. After this had happened, Kara decided that she would avoid getting emotionally attached to anyone she slept with, therefore preventing a repeat of being used ever happening again.

Her phone buzzed letting her know that a text had been received, this one was from National cities dating site for the wealthy and elite. The site was simply known by the name "Prestige dating Services" while it was hardly an escort service, most people tended to think of it in those terms. This was a viewpoint Kara struggled to understand but one she accepted as a unique viewpoint, knowing that differences made for a stronger world. If everyone thought the same thing, how would anything ever get done?. The text that popped up on her screen was from Lucy Lane, who was apparently seeking out another date. As dates went Lucy was a firecracker, hot, wild, kinky in the bedroom, fiercely intelligent. Their first date had consisted of a dinner in Paris France, where Kara wined and dined Lucy, not shy about spending money on her dates. By the end of the dinner they had shared, Lucy had flirted and teased the CEO until the two had ended up in bed together, in a tangle of long limbs and minimal clothing, Kara had worked to satisfy Lucy, indulging her kinks as a lover.
