The Devil

Chapter 18 // Lois Lane

Some time later Kara excuses herself to grab the report. When she comes back she throws the report at Lena, who catches it this time. And with that Kara joins her on bed again, this time she grabs the latest issue of Catco magazine from her nightstand and reads it.

Lena just looks at the elegant writing on the front of the book: Lois Lane. She is interested when she reads the little name on the corner of the first page 'Maggie Sawyer (Danvers-Sawyer)' She read Winn's report and knows that Maggie can write a pretty neat report. Which she absolutely loves at CEO... well not CEO anymore. But as a boss, since she is almost equal to Kara. Which she is grateful for. Since she doesn't want to stand behind somebody and Kara made it pretty clear that they are in this together. But just to keep Lena out of the awful business she doesn't have the power to make a judgement in a case just like Leslie's. 

Maybe Lena will be better with it, but all will come in days time. Right now she needs to focus on this report so she can make sure everything that needs to be done is done tomorrow. So she quickly reads the information and learns that Lois lives in Metropolis, her sister is named Lucy, who is the person Kara helped some time ago, her father is named Sam and her mother is gone. She is a journalist at the Daily Planet, not successful but really has the right mindset for it.

She also learned that her love life is nonexistent, which is quite bad. But when she arrive at the advice part has learned one important thing, the Lane family loves their jobs. 'Lois Lane is a cub reporter at the Daily Planet, while she has almost no friends I think the best thing to do is to give her that once in a lifetime opportunity. Make sure she gets a story that will make her career bloom. I don't think there is more to say about Lois apart from that she is a workaholic and not always the nicest to everyone. But she deserves this change otherwise her estimated time of death is too soon. Way too soon.'

Lena just reads the report over and over, thinking about what the story must be. When it's about three am she exclaims "Lillian!"

Which makes Kara, who still sits next to her, turn towards her and ask a bit confused "Lillian? What does Lillian Luthor have to do with Lois Lane?"

Lena looks at her and smiles brightly "I made sure to be a little bit nice to Lillian so that no news outcast knew it. But now- I can make Lois break the story. I can make sure she gets the golden story!" And with that Lena's happiness wasn't able to be pushed away. About three hours later, at six am she says goodbye to Kara with a kiss and goes to Lois' apartment block in Metropolis. 

When she arrives she knows Kara is watching, of course she is that's just something Kara would do. Without much problems she walks to Lois' door and knocks on it. With the report in her back pocket she stands there a bit nervously. The door swings open and there stands Lois Lane with a raised eyebrow she almost barks "What?" 

Lena chuckles and says "Hello to you too miss Lane. I think it would be smart for you to invite me in. Doing business while others can hear it- that's bad." Lois slowly nods and with that she invites Lena in, who closes the door behind her. 

"Where do you want to sit?" Lena smiles gratefully, she is way nicer now, and points at the dinner table. So together they sit on the only chairs at the dinner table. 

And with that Lena starts "So Lois Lane. My name is Lena Morningstar, my wife is the Devil. And before you think: The Devil is bad and stuff, you are completely wrong. I thought it at first too but she learned me that everything about her is wrong. She is actually the good person in this story. In our story, and with that I would like to help you. I would like to make your life better. All you have to do," She waves with her hand a the normal contract and pen appear in front of Lois "is sign. Just put your name on the bottom of the page and I will give you something you will really enjoy."

Lois looks at her in shock but quickly composes herself "And what will I read if I read this contract?"

Lena smiles and is happy that she read the contract a couple times some time ago "You will just read that the Devil will get your soul but your mind will be trapped with all your happiest memories playing over and over. So that you will always be happy up there."

Lois slowly nods and with that she signs on the bottom of the page. When she is finished Lena makes the contract and pen disappear. Slowly but surely a couple of papers start to appear and an USB stick. "If you read the story you will hear the shocking news that Lillian Luthor is arrested on several awful charges. You are the first with this information and the first with a story. I wish you all the luck in the world with your story." And with that Lena stands up and says goodbye, Lois just sits there flabbergasted and doesn't react.

Lena walks out of the apartment and snaps with her fingers, she hears Lois blink... once- twice. She forgot. But Lena made sure that Lois knows what to do: The one thing she knows she needs to do is getting that story published. With a content smile on her face Lena makes it back to the mansion where surprisingly Kara doesn't wait for her, maybe she didn't see it? That would be unfortunate because Lena thinks she did a decent job.
