Lena Luthor, the ingenious trillionaire genius, was making herself some tea in her lab. She grabbed her impossibly large mug, and poured herself some hot water from a kettle. She then grabbed a teabag of Barry's Tea Gold Blend and let it steep in the water.

She sits down on her couch to relax and take a break from working on her latest project to help protect National City's heroes against any upcoming dangers. Especially for her hero. Lena lets out a breath and lets her shoulders slack into the backrest and her mind drifts to strong arms and blonde hair as she sips her tea. She melts into the image and thinks of possibly something more, but stops herself from thinking about what she was about to fall into. Her reminiscing of the past few years and everything that's led up to this point in her life; sharing her home with a Kryptonian, and actually fixing it instead of tearing it apart like their respective Luther/Super counterparts.

Her thoughts prevented her from noticing the little spark of light drifting into the room from a vent and take form, sitting across from her on the floor. At first, she thought it was just a speck of dust, but she was a fool to think that as she realizes a full-grown man sits before her, with wide brown eyes looking at her with his legs crossed and his elbows resting on his knees, making a weird gesture with his hands.

"What the-" Lena yelps, and places her mug down quickly, trying hard not to spill any tea. She jumps up and goes behind the couch, which sat in the middle of the room, and looks at her watch, opening the face of it, and presses the button hidden underneath, sending a signal only one person could ever hear.

And just like that, her hero appears with a woosh and inhuman superspeed. 

Supergirl.

"Lena- ?" the blonde Kryptonian says, almost tripping over the fifth-dimensional imp.

"-Mxy!?" Kara looks to Lena with a confused look on her face and Lena gives her an "I don't know" look.

"Mxy, what are you doing here?" Kara questions, confused as to why he's there.

"Oh boy, I messed up." He tells her, turning his body to face her, his eyes like a doe's begging for help. "I need your- assistance," he says as he gets up to his feet and looks at Kara directly in her eyes. "I made a mistake with someone's wish and now she isn't getting her happy ending." He pauses, looking to Lena.

Lena looks at Kara with an even more confused look at the reference of something that comes out of only fairy tales. Kara sees Lena, but turns to Mxy and allows him to continue with a nod.

"I tried to fix it, more than once, but I only made it worse. You see, the one I was helping had a wish, and that was to have her happy ending. And her happy ending was a person, not just any old thing, and I messed up, bad."

"So you," Lena indicates towards Mxy, "want us," she indicates to herself and Kara, "to play Cupid?"

"In a sense, yes."

"Who are you again?"

"I am Mxyzptlk! The secretary let me in," he said, appearing next to Lena, his fingertips touching their counterparts on each hand. She didn't even see him move from where he stood before. At that moment, a dozen questions were running through her head. "I am from the 5th dimension, and I may or may not have tried to woo Kara a few years ago." He says as a quizzical Lena tries to put some more space between herself and Mxyzptlk.

"Of course we'll help you, Mxy."

"We? Kara, what are you talking about? And, he tried to woo you?"

"It's a long story, we're friends now. Come on Lena, it'll be fun!"

"That's the spirit!" Mxy pops up next to Kara this time, handing her a tape recorder. She looks at it and finds it's labeled "the one where I say my name backwards." She chuckles a little at the small call back to when Mxy showed her the alternate realities.
