Author's Note: I started this almost two years ago and found it while getting rid of some things. Thought I'd post what I'd already written in Hopes of convincing myself to finish it eventually.



Lena's eyes fluttered open,forest green eyes looking almost godly in the morning sunlight. She yawned and stretched as she sat up in bed,feet just barely grazing the ground. Had anyone seen the youngest Luthor in this state, they'd be enamoured by her cherubic appearance. Dark hair tussled and highlighted by the shining sun, pale skin flushed at the cheeks from turbulent dreams. As her silky periwinkle nightgown clung to her shapely figure,she was truly a sight to behold.

After seconds of staring into blank space and mentally rebooting for the day, Lena got out of bed, reaching for her phone and seeing her agenda for the day as sent to her via email by Jess. She sighed and went about her morning routine, bathing and choosing an outfit for the day. Today was a power suit type of day, she had many things to do and one of those things was meeting with the well known CEO of Ramirez Security Agency. It was about time she rehired her own security crew, because the ease with which Lillian's goons reached her was almost pitiful at this rate. And Jess,Bless her heart, simply wasn't apt to be a judge of character to the same degree that Lena was.

She ate a short breakfast that consisted of a overly sweetened coffee and a fruit salad with a side of toast before stepping into a pair of Jimmy Choos the same shade of lavender as her briefcase, custom made by Betsy Johnson herself. As she walked out of her penthouse, she caught sight of her reflection and grinned with confidence. The white power suit clung to her in all the right places and made her appear taller and overall more imposing.

"Looking good Ms. Luthor" she whispered to herself, as she strutted out of the elevator and into her self designed,environment friendly automobile.

"Good morning Ms.Luthor" greeted Andel, her driver. He turned to face her and grinned, pearly whites highlighted by plump lips.

"Morning Andel. You do know we're on first name basis right?"

He laughed as he dipped and dodged into short cuts,anything to make the drive to LCorp quick and easy. "As if, Ms. Luthor" he teased.

Lena shook her head affectionately, opening the window and letting the wind caress her hair. " We go way back Andy. At this point calling me anything anything other than Lena is obnoxious." she thought about how far they've come and how he's never left her side,even throughout Lex's insanity and Lillian racism towards the young African American male.

"Well in that case, Lena. We've arrived." Andel smirked, stepping out of the car and opening the door for her. As he helped her out they performed their signature handshake and she winked at him as she headed to the revolving doors of LCorp.
"Tell your boyfriend I said hi"

"Will do!" he shouted as he drove away.

Lena shook her head laughing before she straightened up,dropping her ice queen mask back into place as she strutted in like she owned the place. Which,Helloooooo? She literally did.

As soon as she made it past the security guards, who were totally fired as of next week, Jess was by her side with a clipboard in one hand and a warm cup in the other,which she promptly shoved into Lena's hands.

"Drink up, it's Lavender and blueberry tea. Anyways the CEO of RSA is coming in at 11, you've got lunch with Ms.Danvers at 12:30 and a minor meeting after 2 with some staff concerning the absence of Ms. Arias, then you've got to review the budget proposition from the lab department for one of their little side projects concerning robotics and android intelligence." Jess listed off tasks and activities with rapid speed,running an already memorized schedule by Lena once again.

Lena nodded as she sipped the warm beverage, looking forward to a new and productive day.

Meanwhile, over at CatCo, a certain blonde wasn't enjoying her job half as much. Kara sat atop the break room table, miserably stuffing sour gummy worms into her mouth. Winn, the little weasel that he was, laughed at her misery.

"Wiiiiiinnnn, it's not funny" she whined,childishly stomping her foot.

"Sorry sorry. I've just never seen someone so disappointed to not be working." He dug his hand into his pocket and came out with a fist full of Skittles. As he tossed them into his mouth, in walked James, headed right for the mini fridge on the far end of the room.

"James tell him not to bully me" pouted the blonde, turning her puppy eyes in the direction of the tall black man, busy devouring his BLT.

He rolled his eyes"Winn please,leave the baby alone"

This statement lead to more whining on Kara's behalf,half chewed gummies falling from her open mouth as she threw her head back and childishly groaned.

The sound of heavy footsteps brought them to a halt as Snapper entered the room with a stern expression.

"You,with me." He glanced in Kara's general direction and promptly stormed out of the room. Kara shared confused,wide eyed glances with both Winn and James as she scrambled off the table top,dropping endless amounts of gummy worms and candy wrappers.

"Sometime today might be nice." grumbled Snapper loudly, startling Kara into action as she power walked into his office.

He wasted no time as he slapped a yellow folder onto the faded wooden desk, beginning to speak before she had even sat before him. "Open it."

Kara rushed to flip through the file, each page causing more confusion and concern within her. She bit her bottom lip as she flipped back and forth between the few low quality pictures presented to her.
"Sir," she paused tentatively "What is any of this. Aliens? Metahumans?"

Snapper sighed, taking his thin rimmed glasses off to press the flat of his palms into his eyes. "Katie-"

"Kara. My name is Kara,Sir." Interjected the blonde softly,eyes still intensely focused on the pictures spread out before her.

"Alright,Kristen,Isn't this what we pay you for? To figure shit out? Use those skills Cat praised you so much for and find out what this is all about. I want a report on my desk within a week,so that means you either rush and finish up that fluff piece that's almost due or you pass it down to one of your coworkers. That being said, get out."

"Yes sir." Kara quickly collected the photographs as well as the hand written notes and was out of the room within 40 seconds.
