Supercorp One Shots

Of flowers and fortune

By: Rykeral
Lena Luthor was in complete control as she stood before the media and discussed L-Corp's latest product, and Kara took a moment to let her friends strong voice wash over her. Sighing she settled in for a long wait on the L-Corp building and made sure her freshly picked flowers were still in the shade and still watered. She'd just gotten back from the Caribbean where she'd visited three different shops and brought out their stock in plumeria's. She'd made sure to buy their most perfect specimens; only the most blinding white, the deepest yellow and the flawless petals went into her box, and only the brightest pink and smoothest purple were worthy. She had even come across a few hybrids of the two main types, and the mixture of white with the purple had made some truly beautiful combinations. Unique. Just like the woman they were for.

Closing her eyes she let Lena's voice lull her into meditation, a serene peace and let the sunlight lure into a light sleep.

The soft applause, sounding so like rain, drew her from her light sleep and she curled into her positon and stretched. The sun's warmth cocooned her and she smiled dopily as she started to truly awaken. Yawning she got to her feet and stretched, delighting in the pull of her muscles, and made sure to secure her package before stepping off the balcony.

The sunlight had fuelled her cells like a battery and she could feel its power thrumming through her veins like a free current, sparking and live.

The wind tugged at her cape as gravity guided her earth-ward and she waited until she was nearly at the ground before focusing and controlling her descent.

She landed gently outside of L-Corp and made her way inside. The doors opened easily for her and she smiled at the receptionsists and few employees in the lobby as she followed her ears towards the conference room. It was on the ground floor, for easy acess and meant that visitors weren't invited into the bowels of the technological giant and perhaps gain more information than what they were here for. It kept everyone safe, Lena had told her once. Guests weren't offered the chance to exercise their curiousity, and L-Corp didn't have any leaks. Plus, Lena had added with a sly smile, it meant she could leave and return to her tower and not be bothered by the hordes. Kara had laughed and clinked their glasses together.

A few straglers saw her and paused and watched her walk confidently to the conference room, where she ducked around the back, into the 'Authorised Personel' area and waited. A few people had seen her and she heard their gasps and murmers and their curious footsteps as they followed her aroud.

Lena had finished up and she coud hear her excusing herself and within a few moments her security were opening the door for her. The lead guard haulted as he saw her, frozen in surprise, but Lena brushed past him. Kara was rewarded with Lena's carefully composed mask rising as she smiled a greeting at her. "Supergirl!"

Her voice may have been a little loud, for a few reporters inside turned tier heads instantly and tried to see past the closing door as Lena's team guided her through it.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked and handed a tablet off to her assistant Jess with a whispered instruction.

"Miss Luthor," Supergirl smiled in response and then shifted on her feet and then offered her the box.

"Um, I-These are for you," she almost thrust the box into Lena's arms and watched as Lena's friendly smile twisted a fraction in confusion, and her head tilted curiously. The golden bangles on her arms caught with and played with the light as she extended her hands for the box and, after glancing into her eyes a moment, lifted the lid.

"Oh," Lena's eyes widened in surprise before her lips curled in pleasure. "They're beautiful!"

"Like you!" Kara blurted and then felt her blood rush to her face. Jess covered her choking sound with a cough admirably but Kara still caught it and fought the urge to adjust glasses that weren't on her face.
