Kinda Busy Chapter 1

Lena is cleaning off her desk when she hears a voice come from behind.

"Lena Luthor." She hears the women speak softly.

"I'm not seeing anyone right now." She replies, aloofly and rolling her eyes.

"I heard about your colleague, Mr. Spheer. I'm so sorry."

That got her attention. Lena turns around slowly, seeing the figure standing in the doorway to her office.

"Who are you?" She asks.

The figure steps into the light revealing a well dressed middle-aged woman. She takes another step forward and begins to introduce herself.

"My name is Rhea, I have a business proposition for you."

"Excuse me for questioning, but why should I accept?" The CEO asks the stranger in her office.

"Because if you don't something very bad will happen to your beloved Supergirl." The queen answers in a calm but menacing tone.

Lena clenches her jaw at the obvious coercion" This is sounding less like a business proposition and more like a threat." Lena replies coolly, crossing her arms as she spoke.

Rhea takes her arms out from behind her back and shows the CEO the necklace in her hands. It was a simple gold chain with a red square cut stone. The stone in the pendent was reminiscent of a ruby.

"I would like you to give this to your friend, Ms. Danvers. Tell her it is a gift from my son Mon-El."

"Who is Mon-el? If he has feelings for Kara I regret to inform you she is seeing someone." Lena says, that last bit making her feel a little sad, because how could someone not fall for Kara. "and why can't he give it to her? Why can't you give it to her?" She questions, curious about the older women's intentions, something not feeling right about this.

"Well, you see, my son got this necklace for her a while back, but cannot make the trip all the way out here. Since I had to come to National City on business, I offered to bring this necklace to her." She pauses for a moment and chooses her words wisely.

"Unfortunately, Ms. Danvers and I don't have the best relationship. I was hoping you could give it to her to insure she accepts it." The Daxamite beguiles, trying to play on the raven-haired woman's emotions.

Lena hesitates for a minute, eyeing the strange ornament, then reaches out to take the necklace "Very well," she smiles stoically. "I'll make sure Kara gets this." She walks over and sets the necklace on her desk.

"Thank you" Rhea responds and walks out of the CEOs office, not realizing Lena is cut off from her emotions unless it comes to Kara (or thinking about Beth in prison.) After a few moments, Lena picks up the necklace and looks it over carefully. Whoever this Rhea woman was, Lena didn't trust her, and she fully intends to study the jewelry before giving it to her friend.

         After watching Rhea leave, Lena went over to look at the necklace. It was a truly beautiful stone that seemed to glow from the center, but subtle enough to suit Kara, something only someone who knew the blonde personally would choose. She opens the top drawer of her desk and carefully places the jewelry inside and closes it. Leaving her office with the promise of inspecting the jewelry in the morning

The Next Morning

The next morning didn't go as planned.

Lena walks into her office the next morning and sees Kara sitting on her couch with a white takeout bag and 2 cups of coffee.

"Hey Lena." The perky blonde greeted as the CEO walked in.
