                    “  i just want a nice, easy life...  ”  lena’s never meant to say her thoughts out loud, not when she’d entered the pub, not when she’d ordered their most expensive wine, not when she’s drank her 3rd ? 4th ? glass. but it slipped & with it, the rest came out just as quickly,  “  what’s wrong with that ?  ”

                    “  you’re here !  ”  a bright smile forms as she caught sight of the blonde, her thumb pressing the lock button on the side of her phone & pocketing it immediately. she’s spent the past few minutes waiting by the park bench, eyes glancing every so often at the bright screen, waiting for any sign— whether it be a simple ‘on my way’ or a ‘can’t come’. worry had illogically filled her from time to time, especially as their set time passed. but now that she’s here. a thumb is quickly waved to the back of her shoulder, motioning to the street across,  “  it’s not here but i have a surprise. i’d blindfold you but...  ”  her fingers tap the flesh in front of her own ear, motioning kara’s superhearing capabilities— as well as her other super senses.  “  follow me ?  ”

KARA / OFSCAVENGCRS

“It is nothing….” Of course, the moment Lena entered her apartment, Kara was trying to put on a brave face again. Just like always. The last thing she wanted was to worry her friends, after all. Even when knowing that it was silly and would help no one in the end.

The smile did not reach her eyes when she went to hug the other, this much was obvious.  “Pizza and stuff sounds good, really. We need waters for the flowers, just…. let me go into the kitchen and get a vase for them, okay?” Then Kara maybe could take the chance to splash some fresh water into her face, as well. Would hopefully make her look less awful than she was feeling in this very moment, maybe.

                     “  it’s not nothing, kara.  ”  did kara think she can pull one off her ? her ? a woman who’s been forced since the age of 4 to hide her feelings behind several layers of masks ? and yes, she’s certain that her life’s troubles can never compare to kara’s & that the kryptonian’s mask must be more complex than hers. but lena hopes that she’s correct in thinking that she knows her enough to see hints of it.

                     placing the flowers out of reach & capturing kara’s hand by the wrist, she attempts to tug her to the couch. she can’t force the strongest woman on earth to follow her weak pulls but she tries, nonetheless.  “  i would never force you to tell me about what’s going on inside your mind. but please, kara... i’ve learned the hard way that people need companions whenever their thoughts turn south. let me help ?  ”  the ceo offers a smile combined with a silently pleading look,  “  we can watch disney or some other show... or eat our hearts out.  ”

Kara had one of her weak moments. She had seen Clark, who did obviously not recognize her, and she’d met Barry and Mike who both seemed to be gone again. She felt alone. Utterly and completely alone, and Kara had no idea whom to turn to. She didn’t wanted to be a burden for anyone, after all.

When hearing a knock on the door, she sniffed, trying to put on a brave face again. “You can come in, it’s open.”

                    settling in this town had both been easy & complicated for the luthor heiress. on one hand, her move to national city made her familiar of the concept. on another, being in such a small town was quite an adjustment. it had taken several excruciatingly long days for her to finally ‘move in’, to have a home she’s comfortable in, a job, & a few acquaintances to make her life easier. in all her personal complications, she’d buried herself in her work & ignored everything around her, including the one friend she has in this town. 

                   guilt wracked her soul, causing her to drop everything else unimportant once her last contract was signed, run to the nearest shops for peace offerings, & soon enough, knock on her best friend’s door. juggling the items she held in one hand, lena pushes the door open, & peeks in, a soft worried look immediately replacing the guilty smile she had in place, a few seconds ago.  “  kara ?  ”  she questions the supergirl look she’s receiving, stepping inside the apartment & bringing her gifts forward— potstickers, pizza, & plumerias.  “  i brought gifts... is everything okay ?  ”

“– hey! Do you happen to know where the nearest fast food place is? A McDonalds? An Arby’s? Listen – I’m dying for something that is bound to kill me in the long run. The greasier, the better – just point me in the right direction.”

                       lena’s fast food knowledge has improved throughout the last year, having created a friendship with a kryptonian who owned a bottomless pit for a stomach. & while this meant that she now considers mcdonalds as a dinner choice rather than just a fellow competitor for the fortune 500 list, it doesn’t mean she can answer him properly.  “  i’m the worst person to ask that question to,  ”  she comments with a soft chuckle, moving to grab the phone in her purse,  “  i can ask someone, however. if you’re not in that much of a hurry.  ”

KARA / OFSCAVENGCRS

“Alright. Maybe sometimes I am not thinking good enough about myself.” Maybe it was because of her kind nature. Or because Kara always had to hide an important part of herself, the superhero side people were not allowed to see. She always had to keep her head down, prevent herself from being in the spotlight for several reasons….

“But Cat Grant is no bad woman, she is just… Cat Grant. I am not judging her, Lena.” As always, Kara maybe was way too kind. But it was as it was. “Anyway… do not let us talk about her, let us talk about you. Do you think if you would find a building to use, and maybe some clever people to help you, you could get yourself this lab you want so much? I have seen a few abandoned fabric buildings that could be perfect for this! And you already said you do not have to worry about money, so, why not giving it a try at least, hm?” Maybe it was foolish and naive, but that did not meant Lena should not think about it, at least. Looking into the options she might have before scratching the idea off the list again.

                      “  then i’ll remind you again & again until it gets stuck inside that steel brain of yours that you’re not only good enough, you’re more than that.  ”  lena hopes that her voice isn’t showcasing most of her affections for the kryptonian journalist, anything more than what she usually shows could hint kara of her less than platonic feelings. or maybe, if she’s unlucky lucky, she’d remain oblivious. they did set their standards of platonic affection quite high, with kara willing to save her even in the face of a walking kryptonite bomb & her doing something less drastic, buying out several flower stores in national city to thank the woman. 

                      “  oh and kara ?  ”  a bright smile forms on her red-painted lips, nudging the girl of steel’s shoulder with her own,  “  you can’t say no to that offer. if i can’t say no to your attempts of telling me that i’m more than just a luthor— that i’m good, whenever i feel like accepting my fate. then you’re not allowed to do so, as well.  ”

                    still smiling, lena reaches out to grab one of the last dough confection, her fingers ripping a small piece before placing it on the plate in front of her. popping it in her mouth, she takes the few free moments she has when chewing & swallowing to think of the offered plan. she could do that. there were many advantages & disadvantages to it. the greatest disadvantage is the negative profit it would undoubtedly receive. while she can live in luxury for several lifetimes with her fortune & l-corp’s spare funds, the business entrepreneur side of her dislikes the idea of wasting a huge percent to pay for a temporary building & workers. the greatest advantage, or should she say advantages, is having work, being comfortable in this world, doing something she enjoys & is good at, & being able to create a status & connections in this town that could help on the long run.  “  i could... it’s better than having nothing to do, par the lack of income. but that could be resolved if i collaborate with the hospital for medical technology. here’s to hoping that this town does have abandoned buildings & that they’re not abandoned on purpose.  ”

“And still Cat Grant always only wanted me to get her coffee. Or make sure her make-up is still in place,” the blonde shook her head and laughed. “She said I would not have the elbows to surive in this business, you know? I am too nice in her opinion…”

And, it was true - Kara was nice. Always had been. But did that mean she was no good journalist? Did you have to bite and scratch out eyes to get a good story these days? Sometimes, it almost seemed like it to her.

She reached over to her best friend, placing her hand over Lena’s and squeezing it gently. “You are not spoiled, Lena. being spoiled would mean you wouldn’t even think about finding a job now, simply because you do not have to work. You just grew up in a different way than a lot of other people. Nothing you should be blamed for,” she shrugged and smiled. “We will find something. Like…. if you would have the free choice, where would you like to work? What would you like to do? Chances are, no one here knows us, so the also would not think of Luthor Corp the moment they see you. Something we should use to our advantage, I would say.”

                    “  then i’ll willingly put myself in the crossfire of our world’s queen of all media & declare her wrong.  ”  it’s a light banter, her tone as casual as it could come, but the hint of seriousness in her eyes implied that if she truly heard such a thing coming from cat grant, lena would be willing to get herself & l-corp in that woman’s bad side to defend kara.  “  here’s a fun fact,  ”  lena suddenly speaks, body turning to face kara & leaning her weight against the back of her chair,  “  america’s interrogation program during 2015 consisted of horrifying acts, some i dare not to mention while you’re eating. a quick read on the united states senate’s report shows one thing that force & aggression yields little to no result, even false statements. but kindness, eagerness to help the interrogated get their life together, yields a substantially higher result. the results can be applied to journalism, or interviewing a person, your kindness has gotten more information out of me compared to the aggressive tactics used by other journalists.  ”

                    while she doesn’t understand anything about journalism, par the few details kara tells her during their casual lunch ‘dates’, she’s familiar with the opposite side. she knows how she & those of similar status would react to an ‘in-your-face’ journalist compared to sweet kara who listened & cared for what they felt. they may not be able to bite back in fear of their actions being placed on media, but they’re more likely to ignore them. the kryptonian’s methods are part of the reason she believes her earlier statements to be true. 

                    “  a world where no one knows of luthor,  ”  a soft smile lifts her lips at the thought, its occurred to her multiple times since her wild entrance into this town, but it still makes her smile. all she needs is to either lie about her last name, forge documents, or marry someone & she’d be able to rid herself of it forever. fingers tap her chin in thought, drifting from how to get rid of her last luthor connection besides dna & what job she’d wish to have if allowed.  “  i’d make inventing my full time job if i could. i didn’t want the r&d department of l-corp asking for my opinion & assistance whenever truly needed, i wanted to work along side them, in the labs. i’d upgrade my old inventions, create better ones.... however, i’m not certain it’ll work here ?...  ”  green eyes stare & ask for confirmation, the idea of inventing being a useless job in this town came from a disney movie instead of real life knowledge.

CLOSED STARTER / @optimismi

                    there’s no need for it, lena believes. no one besides kara & her cousin would know— and even then, they wouldn’t care, no one in this town would care. fingers curl against the fabric, crumpling it as her grip tightens. if there’s no need to worry about what people would think, then why is it so hard to chose casual clothes for public view ? it doesn’t seem to be a problem to everyone else, & yet, here she is, in a boutique, wearing a business outfit befitting of a luthor, unable to buy a t-shirt she knows wouldn’t be worn for the inside her home. mentally cursing her mother’s teachings & her inability to get rid of them, she lets go of the cloth & turns to the more formal outfits.

KARA / OFSCAVENGCRS

Kara took another donut while listening to Lena, hoping the other would not mind. It was not true that she was always hungry, but, yes, being supergirl did always burn a lot of energy. Not to mention that she was more being awake than sleeping lately, as well.

“You…. you are flattering me…” Shaking her head, the blonde started to blush, and tried to hide it by having another bite of her sweet treat. “And, I know that you do not have to worry about money, Lena. But isn’t it frustrating to have nothing to do? I mean, it would be for me, at least,” she shrugged her shoulders. “Not to mention you have a lot of talents, and could for sure use them to do something good for the people in this city.”

                        “  what you call flattery, i call the truth. you do know that i believe every word i’ve said earlier ?  ”  flattery is defined as an insincere praise or compliment, & while she knows that today’s language didn’t truly imply such, lena needed kara to understand. to understand that every praise she’s ever given the blonde, both as the reporter & the superhero, were sincere & well deserved. she wouldn’t have said it otherwise. if there’s a bias to her view, due to kara being her only friend, lena doesn’t notice.  “  you are a great writer & a great journalist. if we must put it in the simplest of terms, i’m a fan.  ”

                        “  it’s not due to cash, kara. i find it frustrating as well not to have anything occupying my time,  ”  green eyes drift from staring at kara to the table between them, noticing that her hands are currently occupied with crumpling & ripping apart a paper napkin to tiny pieces. a stress-relieving habit she gained during her years of boarding school, right alongside drinking wine & whiskey.  “  i’m... finding it hard to adjust. i’ve never lived in a small town, lex was always the one sent to different luthor corp facilities. the business side of this place is different from metropolis & national city,  ”  an embarrassed flush forms on her cheeks, her head tilting to the side to motion to the town,  “  you must think me spoiled but i have to confess, i’m not certain what jobs i can apply for with my experience without being overqualified. & even if i’ve figured that out, i’ve never been on the other side of a job interview. i have hundreds of memories of potential employees embarrassing themselves. i’m not eager to inflict such event to myself.  ”
