"We could have a chance." - Supercorp

Summary: Lena tries to convince Kara to give their love a chance to blossom into something beautiful, despite what the world might think about them.

'The article was beautifully written, Kara,' Lena Luthor complimented her best friend genuinely once she had finished reading the reporter's work. She raised an eyebrow at her guest sitting beside her on the white couch in her office and smirked, 'although, I can't help but think you're a little biased towards the particular topic you're reporting about.'

'What do you mean I'm biased towards the smartest, most amazing person I know who also happens to be my best friend?' Kara Danvers asked, feigning ignorance. 'Ooh,' she nodded in fake realisation, 'I see what you mean.' It didn't take long for her to break the act and grin at the businesswoman.

The CEO shook her head in amusement and gently shoved the other woman. 'Do you still think you aren't biased?'

'It would help if you weren't so awesome,' the blonde countered thoughtfully.

The green eyed woman scoffed, 'I can think of seven billion people who would disagree with what you just said.'

'Well, those seven billion people don't know you like I do because if they did, they would see my point, clear as day,' the Super retorted assuredly.

Lena smiled softly, 'what would I do without you, Kara Danvers?'

'Still be awesome because you're an amazing person by default and you've just had crappy luck until now?' The reporter offered with a grin.

'Or I could've followed my brother in his footsteps and become a villain?' The Luthor considered.

'Please,' Kara scoffed. 'You were doing a great job at not being evil long before I showed up.'

'Thank you. It's extremely validating to receive praise for not turning into a murderous madman,'   the Luthor said seriously, although the familiar smirk that appeared on her face a second later indicated she was kidding.

'Happy to help,' the blonde teased. Suddenly, her phone went on, effectively interrupting their banter. 'It's Alex,' she informed the other woman apologetically. 'It could be important, I'm sorry.' 

'Take it,' the L-Corp CEO encouraged, understanding completely that work was a priority to the Super, especially her superhero-job. The businesswoman waited patiently while the alien spoke with her sister and glanced in her direction every now and then with pursed lips. Admittedly, small moments like these brought more joy to the Luthor than their significance would warrant, but Lena could distinctively recall Kara leaving the room every time her phone rang with a Supergirl emergency before the reveal and even seemingly unimportant details like these were proof of their friendship, their trust. Green eyes wandered subtly to the Kryptonian while the scientist's brain wondered when that friendship had turned to love on her side. Did Kara feel the same way? 

'Lena,' the physical form of her mental representation called out. The raven haired woman snapped back to reality and noticed her best friend packing her things.

'You have to go,' she guessed.

'I'm sorry,' Kara frowned apologetically at their social meeting being cut short, again.

'Don't worry about it. The city needs its superhero,' the CEO smiled softly as she stood up.

'I'll make it up to you, I promise,' the Super swore mid-hug before they pulled away. 

The Kryptonian started to walk away, but the Luthor quickly reached for her hand. 'Kara, be careful,' she urged before placing a small kiss on the blonde's cheek. 'I'm sorry,' Lena stumbled backwards, cursing herself for letting her emotions get the best of her.
