A/N: My first attempt at a SuperCorp fic so please go easy on me. This will have at least two chapters. Also posted on AO3. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Chapter One

As I poured myself a second glass of wine, I decided to pour an extra glass. She'll be here soon. No later than the thought ended, I heard the familiar whoosh of Supergirl landing on my balcony. "Come in. I've been expecting you." Turning, I offered the newly poured glass of wine. She stood at the door cautiously. "It's not poisoned if that's what you're worried about."

Taking the glass, Supergirl kept her distance. "I came to thank you and to apologize."

Sitting on my couch, I motioned towards the other end. "Take a seat." Sipping her own wine, she sat. "Why are you apologizing?"

"For not trusting you. I said, I believed everyone should be judged on their own merits. But in that instant, when you turned the key, instinct took over. You played it off pretty well."

She feels guilty. And this is a side of her I've only seen once. She reminds me of… "It's understandable since your cousin has a history with Luthors." I paused, "Your apology is accepted." I chuckled sarcastically which made the younger woman's brow crease. "I've not felt guilt in years. Not since Lex. Yet tonight, when I turned that key, there was something in your eyes that made my chest hurt like it did back then."

"What was that?" Supergirl set the empty glass on the coffee table.

"I saw disappointment. You believed in me and thought that I was different. And suddenly, you believed I betrayed that trust. I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone before; I've never trusted my mother. After you came to me, I looked deeper into what she was up to and realized what she really wanted my help with. She played so easily into my hand. I guess she knew I was the only option so she had no choice." I turned to face the honey blonde fully. "Make sure she never gets out."

"I will." She looked out the window; much like Kara did when she was nervous.

"As for thanking me, you're welcome. I won't apologize for not telling you. I couldn't run the risk of my mother finding out. If she had, I'm sure she would have had me killed by her cyborg."

A soft smile crossed the woman's lips. "I wouldn't expect anything less of you Miss. Luthor."

Maybe this is my opening. "You can call me Lena if you'd like."

"Like I told Cat, I'm not telling you my real name," she paused. "Lena."

I am right. It is her. "No worries. I already know who you really are."

Supergirl's normal guards hardened. "You do, huh? And who is that?"

"Kara Danvers." Silence filled the room. The blonde's expression was unreadable which only solidified my suspicions. "No need to worry though, I won't say a word. Even though it will take some time for us to trust one another, I meant what I said. I look forward to us working together. I want this company to be a force of good."

"I'm not sure why you think we're the same person. We were both at your party."

"Good try. I'll give you that. But you were never both there at the same time."

Sighing, Supergirl looked away again. "I'm done insulting you. But, I'll leave you to your own assumptions about me."

"Very well. Although, that's not the only assumption I have." The blonde's brow rose in intrigue. "When are we going to discuss the attraction between us?"

"What do you mean attraction?"

I chuckled, moving close enough to tuck a stay curl behind the woman's ear. She tried hard to mask the shiver that ran down her spine. But I saw it. "I thought you were done insulting me." Glancing down to her lips, I started to lean in. While Supergirl was shocked, she never pulled back. Timid or not, she didn't pull away when I deepened the kiss. Lacing my fingers in blonde locks, the woman moaned softly as I kissed down her neck. "You can stop me, if you truly don't want this." My voice was husky in her ear.

Suddenly, the superhero was on the other side of my office. Cheeks flushed and lust in her eyes. "I…I have to go." With that, the woman was gone.

It had been a week since Kara and I shared a kiss in my office. As far as I knew, she proceeded with her life as if nothing happened. But I knew she hadn't forgotten. As I lay in bed staring at my ceiling, I thought of the honey blonde. We haven't spoken but she's kept an eye on me. I smiled to myself. She could have hidden herself better when she stopped outside my office. I may not have seen her but I knew she was there. Maybe I just need to up the ante a little. Superhero or not, she doesn't seem like the type to make the first move.

The next day, I made a surprise visit to CatCo. "Kara," the blonde jumped with a small gasp.

Turning on her heels, Kara's eyes grew. "L-Lena? What are you doing here?"

"I need your help with something. Can I take you to lunch so we can have some privacy?"

There was a split second of hesitation before she agreed. "Let me get my purse." We walked in silence until we were outside. "So, where are we going to lunch?"

"I was thinking Chinese and go back to my office?" The blonde fell a step behind. "Yes, I do eat take-out."

"Y-your office?"

Glancing back, Kara readjusted her glasses like she had done in my office the few times. "You'll be safe seeing as how I kissed Supergirl and not Kara Danvers."

Quickly the blonde caught up. "Okay." Her voice was small.

"For what it's worth, Supergirl is a pretty good kisser." Again, Kara's step faltered and her cheeks burnt red with embarrassment. My chuckle only made her cheeks redder.

Before entering my office, I waved for Jess. "I'm about to order some lunch. Will you let me know what you'd like and when it's here?"

"Of course Miss. Luthor. I'll take my regular. Hello, Miss. Danvers."

"Hey."

Giving a nod, Kara and I entered my office. She stopped when she saw my couch. "Something wrong?"

"N-no. Nothing." Clearing her throat, Kara sat quietly. She tried to keep herself from fidgeting under my gaze.

"Kara, there's no need to worry. You obviously didn't enjoy it as much as I did so I won't try it again." I sat arm's length away on the couch.

Folding her hands in her lap, the nervous woman looked down. "I…," She paused. "I enjoyed it. I'm just…it's not…I've never been with anyone before. And I've only kissed two other people. But it was nothing like that."

She's rambling again. "Oh. And then a woman comes along and kisses you. No wonder you're so skittish." Running a hand through my hair, I continued. "Super or not, this Luthor is interested in both of you." Cautiously, I moved closer and tilted Kara's chin to look at me. "If you're interested, and want to peruse something new, have dinner with me tomorrow night. I'll give you until then to decide." Leaning forward, I placed a soft kiss on Kara's cheek. I held her surprised gaze a moment before standing. "As far as lunch goes," I walked towards my desk to pick up the phone. "What would you like?"

"Uh, if it's the Chinese place a block from CatCo, I'll take a number five." My brow rose. "My sister and I order from there for our movie night every once in a while."

"Ah, that explains it. You're lucky you can eat whatever you desire and no consciences while the rest of us have to watch what we eat and work out."

Kara's eyes darkened at the thought. "It's not all fun. Alcohol has no effect on me. My metabolism burns it off too quickly."

"That's no fun. Yes, hello. I'd like to order a number two, five, and seven. Luthor. Yes, top floor. My assistant will be expecting you. Have a nice day."

"Thank you for lunch." Before Kara could reach for her purse, I spoke.

"No need. Lunch is on me. You can get it next time."

Smiling, the blonde laughed. "Next time? Who says there's going to be a next time?"

"The fact that you're still sitting here. And whatever you choose to do about tomorrow night, we can still be friends. Friends have lunch together, right?"

"Right." The blonde continued to watch me as I rejoined her on the couch. "What did you need my help with? You said you needed my help back at CatCo."

""Help" is such a relative word." I grinned. "I just needed to get you away from work so we could talk. I'm a hot button topic so I knew if your boss saw us, he wouldn't ride you about taking a long lunch break."

"And here I thought you were a good guy."

"Kara Danvers, are you actually teasing me? Who knew the timid woman who couldn't look me in the eyes the first time we met, could tease me now."

"I have my moments." A small smile tugged at the woman's lips.

"Yes you do. I should be mad at you." Kara's head snapped up. "You fried my prototype. I understand why but still."

"I had to. Remember, you're not supposed to know."

"Yes, I realize it's a secret. I'm just glad I still have the blueprints. As I said, there's a market out there."

"I get it. You're a business woman."

"I'm glad you can see it from my perspective." Before I could continue, Jess buzzed in. "I'll be right back." I left the door open just to gain more of Kara's trust. Not that she needs me to leave it open. But just a show good will that I have nothing to hide. Why am I trying so hard for this woman? "Thank you. Have a nice day."

"You too, Miss. Luthor."

"If you'd like Jess, you don't have to eat here. You're welcome to of course, but it's a nice day and I don't have a meeting until two."

"Thank you."

Reentering my office, I pushed the door closed with my hip. "Hungry?"

"Technically, always." Kara and I talked as we ate. I opened up about my childhood while she listened. I knew she wouldn't tell me anything about her alternate life but it was nice hearing about Kara Danvers' life. "Well, I need to head back. This was nice. Thank you."

"You're welcome." I walked the blonde to the door. "I hope to see you tomorrow night." Even though Kara didn't give an answer, her smile told me to expect her.

Xxx

Tapping on my door, Jess peeked inside. "Your meeting was canceled. Mr. Luis has the flu."

"Thank you." I couldn't get the honey blonde and why I want to peruse her so badly off my mind. I know what's different about her but still there's something else. She seems timid but still has strength behind it. Realizing that I wouldn't get any real work done, I went home early. "Jess, I'm leaving. If you'd like, you can sneak out with me."

The brunette looked up at me surprised. "Are you sure, Miss. Luthor?" Giving a simple nod, my loyal assistant started shutting her computer down and gathering her things. "Thank you."

"Of course. If I'm not working, you shouldn't have to if there's nothing pressing you need to get done." Jess smiled and kept up with my pace. "You want to say something. Whatever it is, you can ask."

"The reporter, what is she to you?"

"She's a friend, why?" This will be interesting.

"It's just, the way she looks at you. And the way you look at her."

"You've known me long enough to know my preferences; do you think she's interested in me?"

Jess thought a moment as we got to my car. "I believe so." She paused a moment. "Where's Chris?"

"I let him take the week off so he and his wife could go out of town. One last vacation before the baby is born." Opening my door, I paused before sitting. "Speaking of vacation, when are you going to take yours? It's October, you only have eight weeks before you lose it. Or, I can just pay you the time instead."

Shaking her head, Jess smiled. "I'm so glad you took over. You're such an amazing boss."

"I want my employees happy. If they're happy everyone's life is easier. Think about it and have a goodnight."

"You as well."

Entering my apartment, I began cooking. God, I've not cooked a meal for a woman in years. The old Lex would be picking on me for being so taken by her. Once everything was done and the table was set, I went to change. What to wear? Kara has enjoyed my skirt suits and dresses so maybe a simple yet elegant dress will do. Filtering through my walk in closet, I finally found the perfect dress. This may drive her mad.

I had just finished pouring the wine when I heard a light knock. Kara's eyes widened when she saw my sleeveless, red velvet dress that ended halfway down my thighs and had a low neckline. The simple black heels caused me to be an inch taller than the blonde. "I'm glad you came. You look lovely."

Kara blushed as my eyes moved slowly down her figure and back to her face. Blonde curls cascaded down her shoulders. The simple, dark blue dress hugged her small curves. "T-thanks." Fixing her glasses, the younger woman walked by quickly.

Locking the door, I saw Kara stop in her tracks. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. It's just…no one has ever asked me on a date like this before. Home cooked meal, candle lit, and soft music." Turning, Kara noticed my gaze. "You look fantastic."

"Thank you. Dinner is ready if you'd like to take a seat." After taking my seat, I placed a napkin in my lap. "I hope Italian is alright."

Mimicking my manners, Kara smiled. "I love it. There's this one pastry in Italy that is amazing. I don't remember what it's called."

Even though she's been through so much, there's an innocence about her that is unmatched. "I'm not sure about their food, but I do love Italian wine."

"I've never had it until I was in your office that night. I noticed the bottle on your drink tray."

"No wonder you're a good reporter. You have a good eye for detail."

"It's harder than I expected but it helps that I now cover most Supergirl or alien stories."

"Double dipping. Smart. That should make your jobs easier. Until you interview certain parties who create a device to see who among them aren't human." I smirked as my statement sank in. She's so adorable when she's embarrassed. She flushes a lot when around me.

"That was one time." Kara tried not to laugh.

"I couldn't resist saying it." We ate in a comfortable silence until curiosity got the better of me. "You said you've never been with a woman before. What about a man?"

Kara nearly choked at the question. "I uh…tried to date but we were better as friends. He really liked me and I thought I liked him but everything kept getting in the way."

"And yet you're sitting here with me. What happens if your phone rings?"

Kara met my eyes. "The ringer is off. If something is truly wrong, I'll hear it."

"Well thank you for making time." So this means a lot to her. "What does your sister think about this?"

"She doesn't know…" I tried to hide the slight hurt that I felt. Is she ashamed of this? Does her cousin have that much power over her? Catching on, the blonde spoke quickly. "It's not that I'm ashamed or because you're a Luthor. It's just…I'm not sure I'm ready to tell people. I know some of the public wouldn't take it well but I have to live my own life. I deserve to be happy just like you."

Kara's speech reminded me a lot of my own. "When I came out, Lex was the only one who was on my side. My father eventually realized it wasn't a faze but my mother hated me even more. It was never spoken of."

"You couldn't be yourself." Her eyes cast downward to her plate.

She's not just talking about me. "Exactly. I suppose that's what it was like for you until recently?"

"It was, yes." Her guards started to rise.

"I didn't mean to upset you." The younger woman never looked up from her plate. "Kara, please look at me." She did as I asked. "Let's change the subject."

"Yes, please."

"So, since you've never been on a date, I suppose you've never danced either?"

A soft blush crept up her neck. "Not that I'd like to remember."

My eyes narrowed towards the blonde. "There's a story behind that and I will find out what it is. But," grabbing the stereo remote, I proceeded to change the music. "May I have this dance?"

Kara just stared at the hand I held out. "Are you sure?"

"Just don't step on my feet too hard."

"I'll try not to." Wrapping her arms carefully around my neck, Kara met my gaze. "I don't…"

"Just sway back and forth." I pulled the woman closer as I let my hands rest on her small hips. "Is this alright?"

"Mmhmm." As the music continued, Kara let her forehead rest against mine. "This is nice." Her voice was soft.

"It is." Coaxing the blonde closer, I continued. "Why did you actually come tonight?"

"There's something luring about you. The way you looked at me the first time I came into your office made my breath hitch. And then we became friends."

"But there's something else. You don't seem the type to date any friend."

"You're right."

Opening one eyes quickly, I caught the blonde biting her lip. She's so nervous. "You can tell me."

"I couldn't stop thinking about the way you looked at me. And the way you said my name."

"Which name? Kara, Supergirl, or Miss. Danvers?" A shiver coursed down the woman's spine. "It's the latter." I couldn't help but grin.

"You're going to use that against me, aren't you?"

"Isn't that how the cliché works? The good guy falls for the bad guy?"

Kara pulled back to look at me. "But you're not a bad guy."

"At least one person believes that." Glancing towards the clock, I saw that it was only nine. "Do you have to be at home any certain time?"

"No. Why?"

"Movie? You can pick one while I clean up." With a grin, the blonde became a blur. What felt like a second later, she reappeared before me. "That's not fair."

"It helps get things done. But I don't do that all the time."

"So, you only use your powers at home for special things?"

Sitting, Kara took a moment to choose her words. "If something needs to get cooked quicker, I'll use my powers. Or," she paused, "or on a special occasion."

"Cleaning my kitchen is a special occasion?" I knew exactly what she meant but I couldn't help myself. It was adorable when she stammered.

Creasing her brow, Kara floundered. "Well no. Uh…I mean…"

Placing a hand on her forearm, I smiled. She's melting under my touch. "Kara, I know."

Blue eyes looked from my hand to my face. "You like doing that, don't you?"

"Doing what?"

"Tripping me up."

Pursing my lips, I tried to hold back a grin. "Just a little bit. Now, what kind of movies do you like?"

"Comedy or…," she bit her lip again. "I do love the Harry Potter series. I've only seen the first two."

"And here I pegged you as a superhero type of girl."

For the first time, Kara actually rolled her eyes. "Oh yeeaahh, they're my favorite."

"Oh, so there is sass behind that innocent girl exterior. Good to know." Her cheeks burnt again when I winked. "I'll share a secret with you, but you can't tell anyone." The younger woman gave a simple nod. "I'm a huge geek. I've seen the Harry Potter movies three or four times each by now."

"If you've already seen them, then we can pick something else."

"Not a chance. If I get the opportunity to watch one of those movies, I take it."

"Just like you jump at other opportunities?" Kara's face paled as soon as the words left her lips. "Lena, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in a bad way." Resting my elbow on the back of the couch, I watched as the panic slowly left the blonde. "Stop letting me flounder."

"But it's so cute and endearing. It differentiates Kara Danvers from Supergirl." I held the blonde's gaze a moment before glancing down to her lips. Clearing my throat, I turned to face the T.V. "Alright, Harry Potter it is." I said I wouldn't push but good God she makes it so difficult.

"Now who's floundering?" The younger woman grinned when I glared.

Kara must have thought she was sneaky because halfway through the movie she needed to use the bathroom. When she returned, she sat close enough so she could rest her head on my shoulder. Knowing exactly what she wanted, I wrapped an arm around her shoulders to pull her close. This is nice. It's never been like this with someone. Any other night has always ended with sex and an empty bed the next morning. I used to be alright with that because of my job but, I don't want that now. What has this woman done to me?

Two movies later, both of us were yawning. "I guess I need to get back. I have to be at work at nine sharp. Otherwise, I'll get yelled at again." Standing, Kara stretched and went to retrieve her clutch.

"Yes, and I have a meeting. I enjoyed tonight." Before I could fully open the door, Kara pushed it closed. My heartbeat increased and she chuckled.

"I had a good time too. Who knew the great Lena Luthor was a geek who could cook."

"You tell anyone and we'll have problems," I paused to step close enough so I could whisper. "Miss. Danvers." The seductiveness of my voice caused the blonde to shudder. Tilting her head, the blonde pressed her lips against mine. The motion actually shocked me. I had never been the first with her back against the wall until now. Timidly, Kara's hands wandered my curves. I kept my hands firmly in her hair making sure she knew I wasn't going anywhere. She's scared. The amazing Supergirl is scared of exploring her deeper desires. When she became more comfortable, I let my hands do a little roaming of their own. She enjoys my touch. I gasped slightly when I felt a nip at my pulse point. "K-Kara," All motion stopped. My grip tightened on the woman's hips keeping her in place. "We can't…not tonight." I paused letting my forehead rest against hers. "I don't want that for you."

Green eyes searched mine for any disapproval. "Okay."

"As slightly embarrassing as this is, feel free to use your super senses if you'd like. It's obvious that I'm attracted to you." Kara stared blankly. "You don't use those powers all the time?"

"No. I try to give people some privacy." Licking her lips, she inhaled quickly. "But I don't need my senses to tell you're attracted to me."

"I'm not sure how to take that statement." A nervous chuckle escaped my throat. "Anyway," turning, I opened the door. "Goodnight, Kara."

Smiling sheepishly, the blonde stepped over the threshold. "Goodnight, Lena."
