Kara couldn't help but glance over to her right where the dark hair beauty was listening to their professor. For a moment she allowed herself to take in the woman beside who had ran a hand through her long hair, ruffling it up as her intense green eyes was trained on their professor. Her eyebrows were knitted together in thought and she was subconsciously biting her lower lip that caused Kara to flush. She looked away quickly once she notice the slight tension in the girl's shoulders and she pretended to be writing down notes. Kara could practically feel those beautiful emerald green eyes stare her down causing her face to grow warm. Out the corner of her eye she watched as Lena Luthor sigh and turn her attention back to the professor, her elbow on the table as she placed her head on her hand.

This back and forth had been happening for the last past week when Lena Luthor was transfer to this university, to this class. Kara remembered it like yesterday when the black limo pulled up to the National City University and there was void of the normal activities. Everybody had stopped what they were doing and watched as the limo driver opened the back door and a long slender leg swung out before the other one joined it. He had offered his hand and a dainty hand wrapped around his and another one grasped the side of the car. It was like a pin dropped as the students of National City University watched the beautiful woman appeared. They didn't know at that moment who she was, until another pair of legs appeared and was pulled out the car.

Lillian Luthor.

The entire campus broke out into a whisper. What was the Luthors doing here? Everyone watched as they walked on the paved walkway with their head highs, wearing designer winter coats. Their hands stuffed into their pockets and how they looked regal and cold. James Olsen glared at them and muttered filthy murderers and how bad and evil they were. The firm and solid look that Alex worn and the nervous way that Winn fluttered his eyes back and forth between the Luthors and his friends' reaction. Kara felt her breathe being stolen from when the woman's eyes flittered over to her group and they made eye contact. She was taken back by her intense green eyes and how fluster she was by it. Kara looked down as the woman looked back straight ahead.

Kara lifted up her head slightly to watch the retreating figures disappear into the building.

"What do they think they're doing?" James demand shaking with anger. "After what Lex did to Clark last year! Trying to exploit his secret and destroy him, then they have the audacity to think we would all forget about and they can bring in their daughter to cause havoc!"

Kara turned to James, shocked at his outburst. "Now, wait a minute, how do you know that's what she's going to do? She just got here and we don't know anything about her, let alone her name!"

"She's a Luthor." James said simply. "What else can there be about her?"

Kara frowned but decided to keep her mouth shut, sometimes it was best to ignore James' closed minded views. She pushed her glasses up before she turned to her other friends for their reactions. Winn looked away, not sure what to make of the situation.

"We should indicate what kind of person she is by her name," Alex started, "But I think that we should all be cautious, especially you Kara. This mystery addition to the Luthor family might pull a Lex."

For the rest of the day, no one saw the sister of Lex Luthor and more than once Kara heard James express his relief in this. Kara was overall disappointed that she didn't get see more of this woman and hoped to see her in seeable future. How quick her wish was granted the next morning when she promptly ran into the dark-haired woman. Neither of them had been paying attention一Kara was busy reading over her notes for Journalism class and the woman was looking at her schedule一and before collided into each other causing the woman to stumble and almost fall over before Kara used her super speed to catch her before that happened. Kara felt her breathe being stolen from her as she looked down and into the widen green eyes of this Luthor.

"Erm, I'm so sorry! I should have seen where I was going!" Kara squeaked.

"It's quite alright, I should say the same. My name is Lena Luthor." She said as she used Kara's arm to pull herself off.

"I wished that we met on better terms, my name is Kara. Kara Danvers."

"Well, Kara Danvers, I must agree. It's not everyday that I get mowed down as I try to figure where I'm going."

"Oh! Well, I would be happy to help." Kara said.

Lena looked at her with surprise. "Really?"

"Sure! Why not?"

Lena shrugged. "Because I'm a Luthor."

"I don't judge people by their families," Kara said quickly. "Or history, or by people's heresay, I think that it's ridiculous and that, um, you need to make your, um, own decisions and choices."

Lena gave her a smile. "Well, that's a relief. I don't know how much longer I was going to walk around."

Kara smiled back as she fiddled with her glasses and they stared at each other for a moment before Lena cleared her throat and raised an eyebrow.

"O-oh right!" Kara blurted out. "I should you around before we're both late to class."

Lena chuckled as she handed the blonde girl her schedule. Kara looked down at the piece of paper and nearly chokes at the sight of it. The brunette before her was in advance science and math, business, engineering, accounting, and Kara is little surprise to find Journalism and Creative Writing there. She looked back at Lena who had a slight smug expression on her face.

"We seem to share a few classes." Kara noted as she started leading Lena to her first class.

"Oh?" Lena said interested.

"Um, yeah, Math and Journalism. If you don't mind me asking but why Journalism?"

"I like to dabble in everything and Journalism is something that I've never done. I think it will be a fun and useful experience."

Kara nodded and bit her lower lip as she tried to figure out how to continue the conversation but finds herself unable to. Instead they walked in silence to one of the science rooms that Lena is assigned to. When they made it to the room Kara turned to Lena and smiled at the youngest Luthor shyly.

"Well, here you are! I'll be here after class, to, uh, take you to your other class since that's the same class that I have. I mean if that's okay with you, I completely understand if you wouldn't want my help and try to find it on your own, which I think is a bit foolish, since you don't know where you're supposed to go. Ah! Not that I think that you're foolish-"

Lena chuckled and smiled at the fluster girl. "Kara that's fine. I would greatly appreciate it if you show me to my next class."

Kara nodded before hurrying to her own class. For once she paid the professor no attention and instead her thoughts were filled with a certain brunette that had the greenest eyes. The class took way too long before the professor concluded the lesson and she was the first to leave. She sped walk, as humanly possible, back down towards the science rooms and almost ran into Lena again but she managed not to.

"Eager aren't we?" Lena teased, causing Kara to blush.

"I, uh, didn't want you to be late to your next class. I mean we shouldn't since we have the same class and I'm taking you andー"

"I guess you do this a lot." Lena interrupted. "Ramble?"

"My sister and friends think so but I promise I don't do this a lot." Kara said.

"Oh, I don't know mind, I think it's adorable."

Kara blushed at the words and pushed up her glasses. "Um, well, thanks? We really should get going."

They walked in silence for a moment and Kara looked at Lena, out the corner of her eye, intrigued in the way that she carried herself. Her face was neutral, cold, and the way she walked was just as regal and air of importance and authority that made Kara stand a little straighter. Kara started to pay more attention to her surroundings and noticed how people stared at them as they passed. How the whispers followed after them and Lena's shoulders are tense and there's the barest hint of a frown. It didn't strike Kara as fair since they knew nothing about Lena Luthor and was only judging her for the actions of her family.

"What college were you attending before coming to NCU?" Kara asked.

"A private one in Ireland," Lena answered. "That's where I spent most of my schooling at, the main reason you've, or anybody for that matter, knew about me. My mother thought it was time I came back to America, after what happened with Lex."

Kara noticed how Lena became even more tense at the mere mention of her brother's name. It must have been hard and rather shocking to having to come back and be introduced to the world as the daughter of Lionel and Lillian Luthor and the younger sister of Lex Luthor, Superman's archenemy. To be suddenly hated before you could even introduce yourself.

"Since he's in jail until dies, that makes me the heiress to Luthor Corp because of this I had to get extra courses. NCU was the only university that offered late additions, how conveniently unfortunate." Lena said, forcing a laugh.

"Well it can't be all that bad." Kara said.

"I'll be honest with you, Danvers, you're the only that have talked to me. Of course, other than my professor and the dean of this University." Lena sighed. "If my last name was Smith, well that would've been a whole different situation but it's not."

"People shouldn't judge you because of your family, it isn't fair or right."

Lena let out a snort and have Kara a bitter smile. "We'll be here all day, discussing what's right and fair or not. It's just in the nature of beings to judge prematurely even without us realizing. But I will admit that you're an interesting case, Miss Danvers. Had it been anybody else to run into me, they would have ran scared but you, you introduced yourself instead. I won't lie, I was startled by this. That's probably the only act of kindness I've gotten since this mess with Lex."

Kara caught the barest hint of a smile and she grinned. "Well, Miss Luthor, I'm usually a good judge of character and I don't see you following the footsteps of your family."

"It's comforting to know that there's at least one person that believes so," Lena said. "And please call me, Lena, Miss Danvers-"

"Well, if I'm calling you, Lena-"

"Fair enough, Kara, it is."

Kara looked up at Lena and they fall into a comfortable silence. Once they reached the class, Lena immediately went to talk to the professor as Kara sat in her regular seat. While the professor and her talk, the class began to slowly fill up and the atmosphere shifted to tense and ominous. Each student looked up at Lena Luthor and whispered to one another, and as much as Kara wanted to, she couldn't block at what they were saying.

"That's her. . ."

"What is she doing here. . ."

"She should go back to where she came from. . ."

"We don't need another Luthor here. . ."

Kara frowned at this and glanced back at up at Lena who are had gone completely rigid. The Lena that she had walked to this class was gone and replaced with the Lena that was distrusting and wary of others, not that Kara could blame her. The brunette thanked the professor and she started to walk to a seat. Her head was held high, her shoulders squared, and her arms firmly at her side. She was just about to pass Kara, when the blonde girl reached for her and grabbed her wrist.

"You can sit with me if you like," Kara said quietly, ignoring the whispers around them.

"What is she doing?"

"Do she not know who that is?"

"Of course, she knows who she is, she's friends with James Olsen, Superman's best friend."

"She's crazy."

"You don't have to do this, I'll just get a seat in the back."

"No, I want to." Kara said with a smile and Lena sort of returned it.

Lena sat down beside Kara and from that day on, they couldn't themselves from looking at each other from the corner their eyes. Now back to present day and the students have tone down their harshest towards Lena, yes they were still wary of her but at least she wasn't being talked about every second. People had now move on to the latest gossip and continued on with their lives, but every once and awhile Kara would hear a word or two about the youngest Luthor.

Kara fiddled with her glasses as she brought her attention back to the board. She remembered how her friends and sister reacted when they found out she was talking to Lena. If she was being 100 percent honest, she didn't tell them about Lena right away, in fact they had stumbled upon the two while they were eating lunch, two days after Lena had arrived at National City University.

The first thing that she noticed about Lena Luthor right away was that she was a very hardworking. The moment that she had gotten all of her assignments, she was on it and that's how Kara found her. Lena in the library with flurry of papers surrounding her as she alternated from writing on a piece of paper and typing on her laptop. Kara's eyes had widen at the sight and she walked over to sit with Lena.

"I've see that you waste no time working," Kara said jokingly.

Lena looked up and gave her a small smile. "Yes, well, I like to get a headstart. I see no point in lounging around."

"But this is seven classes of work! I'm sure that this isn't all due tomorrow."

"They aren't," Lena said slowly. "But I have to have enough time to run LuthorCorp as well."

"Wait, what? You're the CEO of LuthorCorp?"

"Yes, I am. Honestly I'm surprised you don't know this, it was publicly announced this last past weekend." Lena said. "It's one of the main reasons why I've decided to come here to National City; my education and a new start."

"But shouldn't your mother be running it until you finish college?"

Lena shook her head. "When my father built this company, he made a will saying that he wanted only his children to run the company. Now that Lex is in jail for life and I am of age, it was only expected that I take over. Is it a bit inconvenient that I have to get my degrees and run a company, yes, but it's manageable."

"Manageable?" Kara repeated. "I can barely keep up with my seven classes!"

"Lex and I was taught at a very young age to multitask, so this is nothing to me."

"How long have you been working?" Kara asked curiously.

"Hm… about three hours."

"Three hours?! Have you even taken a break? Eaten?"

"No, but I'll eat once I'm finish."

Kara shook her head. "No you need to eat now, a little break won't hurt."

"But I have to get this done."

"You said it yourself that none of these are due tomorrow, and it won't do any good to pass out in exhaustion." Kara said. "This will all still be here after we get something to eat."

Lena sighed and looked Kara in the eye and the blonde firmly stood her ground. After a moment Lena sighed again and started to pack her things.

"Fine, I suppose you're right."

"Of course, I am. Eating is essential."

They left the library and Kara took Lena to her favorite Chinese restaurant. Kara engaged Lena into a conversation asking about her day, how was she dealing with the new university, and how were her classes. Lena answered all of this and in return asked how was her day and how were her classes. When they reached the restaurant Kara began gushing over the potstickers and asking if Lena ever had them. When Lena said no, Kara had gasped scandalously and yanked the brunette inside. The waiter said hello to Kara and took them to her regular table. Kara orders almost everything off the menu including the potstickers and Lena merely gotten the shrimp lo mein.

Kara frowned at this for a moment before deciding that it would be enough for now. She gave Lena some of her potstickers, that the other woman thoroughly enjoyed.

"This is delicious!" Lena said as she took another one of Kara's potsticker.

"I know, I can't believe that you have never had this before! Where have you been?"

"In Ireland with a lot of snobby girls that hated Chinese food. This was guilty pleasure once a month." Lena chuckled, gesturing to the shrimp lo mein. "I didn't even bother to try something new."

"Well, that was a very terrible decision."

"Hey!"

They started to laugh before quieting down and moving into another topic. At Kara's request they played 21 Questions and then some. Kara found out Lena's favorite color, movie, tv show, food, and drink. It was here that they found a rhythm, one would asked a question and the other would answer before the other one would give thoughts and then it repeated. They were so observed in their own little world that they didn't even know that Alex, Winn, and James were coming in. Alex immediately recognized her little sister and Lena and walked up to them.

"Oh come on, Kara, let me have the last potsticker!"

"No! You go and buy your own!"

"Why can't I have it? You had potstickers your whole entire life, you're not going to miss just one!"

"Hello, you two." Alex said coolly, interrupting their playful banter.

The two paused and Lena immediately straighten and gave Alex a tight smile. She looked back and forth at Alex and Kara as she straighten her clothes.

"Hi, I'm-"

"Lena Luthor, I know." Alex said coldly, causing Kara to look back at her. "My name is Alex Danvers."

"My sister." Kara added hastily.

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you, Alex." Lena said.

"Only my friends call me, Alex."

"Danvers, it is." Lena said with narrowed eyes.

"Uh, hey! Let me talk to my sister for a moment, and you can have the last potsticker, okay?" Kara said, hopping out of her seat and dragging her sister away.

"What is wrong with you?" Kara hissed.

"Me? I'm not the one having lunch with Luthor."

"She's not like the rest of them."

"And how would you know? She's only been in town for three days-"

"Kara?"

Kara turned around to see Lena with her satchel and she could feel her heart drop. This wasn't how any of this was supposed to go. Lena was in front of her ready to go and Alex was behind her with her arms crossed willing her to do so.

"You don't have to go." Kara started.

"Actually I do, my assistant just let me know there's some paperwork that I need to check on. And I have a board meeting in a hour or two." Lena said, looking down at her phone that Kara missed the first time.

"See you later?"

"If my schedule allows it." Lena said with a small smile.

They watched her leave and Kara groaned in frustration as she head back to their table. She sat and Alex did the same, a moment later Winn and James came to the table and sat down.

"You were having lunch with Lena Luthor?" James asked.

"Don't start." Kara said, as she pushed up her glasses.

Kara looked down and finally noticed that Lena left her the last potsticker.

That was five days ago and Lena had been promptly avoiding Kara, and the blond girl knew it had to do with the hostility that Alex had towards her. During class, Lena didn't say anything to Kara and after the brunette left as fast and elegant as she could. Kara had tried to corner her but to no prevail. For Kara to have super speed, she could never seem to catch Lena in time.

But Kara felt as if today would be the day.

When the professor concluded the class, Kara quickly grabbed Lena's wrist before the girl could get up. Kara stopped herself from sighing in relief as Lena looked down at her captured wrist. She looked into Kara's blue eyes and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Kara?"

"You've been avoiding."

"I've been busy."

Kara hummed and Lena sighed. "Okay, so I'm not that busy."

"Why have you been avoiding me?" Kara asked, even though she knows the answer.

Lena looked away for a moment to put her things in her satchel before turning her attention back to Kara.

"I saw the way that you and your sister was arguing over me, and I didn't want to cause any strife between the two of you." Lena explained.

"You're not." Kara said quickly as she gathered up her things. "Alex is totally fine with us being friends."

"Is she really?"

"Okay, not exactly but that's fine! She's just being protective, she is my older sister, after all. Once she get to know you like I know you, she'll be cool with you. Maybe give you the shovel talk and all, which I hope not because there will be no need to, since you're such a nice and kind person. But she'll give it to you anyways just in case. Alex is actually a person, you can get along with great-"

"Kara!"

Kara blinked and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Lena smiled back at her. "It's fine. If you're sure that your sister won't mind-"

"She won't."

"Then I guess it was a little foolish to be avoiding you." Lena continued. "After classes, I can have you try out my favorite restaurant."

"Okay, it's a deal."
