Chapter Text
The next morning Lena sat in her kitchen tablet in hand looking at the email from her head of PR. The team had gone through every story that came out about the launch overnight and send through the main ones. Lena looked up and saw Kara still curled up in her bed asleep. The sheets had twisted around her in the night leaving those perfect legs on display for her to admire.
Kara stirred and Lena got to watch every muscle tense as Kara slowly stretched. She returned her eyes to the tablet and sighed as she opened the email scrolling through the headlines.
Lena Luthor’s personal collection now available to all.
A Super and a Luthor?
Thirty two!
Luthor’s rough night.
Cat comes out on top.
She scoffed at that one. Cat would not win.
Luthor confirms Danvers is a 10
Lena Luthor secretly a lesbian
“Bi people exist-” she read the tabloid name and sighed.
Karlena CONFRIMED
She checked that one and saw Nia had written it. She started reading and smiled as the very first line was the words “I told you so.” Nia at least had resisted the urge, mostly, to mention the sex toys thing.
She heard Kara laughing and looked up. Kara walked that perfect naked body from the bed to the kitchen stopping beside Lena her phone in one hand.
“Watch this.”
Lena smiled taking one last look at Kara before giving her attention to the phone. It was a video of Superman. She watched as Superman walked towards the camera smiling his usual smile. He’d clearly just saved something or someone.
“Hey Superman did you hear Lena Luthor is gonna make Supergirl a vibrator?” someone asked.
Lena smiled as she watched Superman process that information then immediately have a visceral reaction to it. His whole face twisted and his mouth hung open for a moment.
“Why would you ugh, you know she’s my cousin right? I did not need to know that. I did not need to know that. Oh God I think I would’ve preferred the exosuit.”
Superman tuned and flew off as several people laughed.
“Poor Superman,” Lena said.
Kara leaned down and kissed her.
“Poor him. What about me? I already have six messages from coworkers about the strap on. You know I am never going to get to live this down right?” Kara said.
Lena smiled.
“It will be a reminder to never go against a Luthor,” she said.
Kara sighed and then headed back towards the bedroom. In a flash of super speed she was dressed and in the kitchen where a stack of pancakes was already waiting for her to reheat. Lena smiled and begun reading through the articles one at a time.
“Anything good?” Kara asked between mouthfuls.
“If these articles are a sign my board meeting today will be nothing but innuendo. Nia wrote a nice piece though. It seems the queer community is happy about the representation though it seems I’ll need to put something out to inform everyone I’m bisexual not a lesbian.”
Kara sighed pulling out her phone again.
“Alright I’m about to open my twitter notifications- Gosh. Yeah maybe not.”
Lena laughed as Kara sped through them all.
“I just blocked three hundred and forty eight people. All of whom were offering to fuck me. Also everyone wants to know what we’re messaging to each other.”
Lena rubbed at her face. Cat hadn’t said anything, yet. Though as much as many might disagree Cat Grant did generally respect people’s privacy if they refused to talk. Well rather she wouldn’t outright force them. Lena considered asking what it would take to get Cat to remain quiet about what she’d read.
“Try not to unlock your phone too much today everyone is going to be watching. Also, maybe we could do lunch?” Lena asked.
Kara smiled at Lena and nodded.
“I’ll need the escape I think. Today is going to be a complete mess.”
Lena smiled and went to get dressed. Kara watched her disappear into the bedroom and then may have used her x-ray vision to continue watching as she headed for her closet.
The moment Kara stepped out of the lift she heard a whistle and a comment then the whole office seemed to be in on it as she tried to walk at a normal human speed towards her desk ignoring the blush covering her cheeks.
“Hey number 10!”
“Walking remarkably well there Danvers.”
“Lena Luthor, damn girl.”
“Well if it ain’t the office sugar baby.”
“So which one of you wears the strap?”
She stopped at her desk and turned to the giggling children she called colleagues.
“You’re all perverts and I hate you!” she yelled.
There was a lot of laughter but they all left. She sighed in relief and then Snapper walked past dropping her an assignment. He had decided her name was now Luthor’s girl instead of ponytail. She did not consider this any kind of improvement.
James walked past and glared at her.
“Did you have a nice swim,” she teased.
He stopped. She waited as he turned to glare at her.
“At least I don’t need an accessory to get a woman off,” he said.
Kara laughed as everyone turned.
“It’s not a question of whether you can get a woman off, it’s how hard and for how long.”
She gave his cheek a condescending pat as he glared at her. She waited for the retort but he simply left. She smiled after him. It was nice to win against someone.
Later that morning her phone rang and she answered it silently praying it would be Lena. It was not.
“Do you have any idea how much eye bleach I need now?” Alex demanded.
Kara laughed.
“Well hello to you too,” several coworkers stopped and leaned in. “Move on it’s my sister. Gosh you’re all sex crazed lunatics here.”
“What’s happening?” Alex asked suddenly protective.
“Oh nothing much just I can’t walk anywhere without people speculating if I had sex this morning, the moment I open my phone it’s suddenly the most fascinating thing in the world, and everyone keeps asking what gifts I get from my quote, sugar mama. Please tell me there’s some kind of horrific incident to go investigate. I need to get out of here.”
“Sorry nothing horrific today but I’ll keep you posted. Just do me one favour, never let Lena talk about your strap on fetish again.”
“It is not a fetish,” Kara said exasperated.
In the sudden silence she immediately regretted everything as everyone within ear shot suddenly stopped and looked at her.
“Oh my God you made me say that on purpose! You are the worst sister ever.”
Alex laughed as Kara hung up infuriated. Everyone was still watching her. She quickly headed down the corridor ignoring everyone’s sudden curiosity in how she was walking. She couldn’t wait for the day to end as she hid in the printer room to send Lena a message asking if she wanted to stay over that night as well. Before she could finish Snapper walked in and noticed her phone.
“Stop sexting your sugar mama and go do your job,” he said.
Kara threw her hands up in defeat and stormed back out. She’d send a damn email.
Lena fared better. She walked into the board meeting took her seat and handed out the sales figures for the new toy line. She then glared at the board. No one said anything but she could see the smirks. She also had to call her head of PR twice about correcting the media’s assumptions about her sexuality. PR wanted to put out a full recorded statement she told them just to tweet it. Haggling ensued.
Finally the head of PR came into her office with an assistant holding a camera. She sighed and made a brief two sentence statement for them to post out on social media. It would have been fine if she hadn’t received an email at the same time from Kara telling her everyone thought she was her sugar mama. Her expression prompted Jane —her head of PR— to ask what was wrong and of course the junior was still filming when she answered.
“Why the fuck does everyone think I’m Kara’s sugar mama?”
Jane started giggling like a school girl and Lena looked up to see the grinning assistant holding the camera still pointed at her.
“For the record also not a sugar mama.”
“So you didn’t buy her that dress?” Jane asked with a smirk.
“No it’s mine she stole it when she-”
Lena shut her mouth very quickly. She narrowed her eyes at Jane.
“So if she’s wearing designer clothes she slept over?” Jane asked.
Lena sighed. A Luthor defeated twice in two days because of a camera.
“Can we redo-”
“No,” Jane said quickly.
The camera was quickly turned off and hidden protectively behind their backs. Lena glared at them both as they made their exit.
She waited a full three seconds after they closed the door before she put her head on her desk and contemplated leaving the country, or maybe the planet. When she had recovered she called Kara.
“Lena hey,” Kara sounded very happy to hear from her.
“Hello Darling. How’s work?” Lena asked.
“They’re all staring at me, like right now because I said your name they’re all watching me. I’m just going to go to another room.”
“If you do that they’ll think we’re having phone sex,” Lena said smirking.
“What oh god okay. Fair point, um… I guess I’ll just stay here then. And be, stared at.”
Lena smiled picturing Kara sitting at her desk and glaring at her coworkers.
“So, what are you wearing?” Lena asked.
“Don’t you dare,” Kara growled.
Lena laughed.
“It’ll all go away in a day or two,” Lena promised.
“I hope you’re right because I am getting absolutely nothing done. I can’t unlock my phone without three people deciding to peer over my shoulder. Snapper is now calling me Luthor’s girl and I’ve had to turn all my notification off because everything is going insane.”
Lena looked out her window then at her watch. It was 11:30.
“Come have an early lunch with me, we can hide in my office.”
Lena heard Kara get up and immediately start grabbing her things.
“I’ll pick us up something to eat on my way, what do you want?”
“A salad.”
Kara made a noise of disgust and Lena smiled. Then she saw an email from Cat Grant.
The theme music played and the camera rolled down to show Cat Grant and the late night show host.
“Welcome back everyone. Now Miss Grant, come on everyone is absolutely dying to know…”
The host turned to indicate the screen to his left as the photo appeared showing Lena her head in her hands at the press conference Cat standing next to her.
“What was in those messages?” he continued.
Cat looked at the picture and laughed.
“I do love that image. It’s not often one gets to so thoroughly defeat a Luthor.”
There was some laughter from the crowd as Cat turned back to them smiling.
“And?” prompted the host his smile growing.
Cat leaned forwards.
“Are you sure you want to know?”
There was a chorus of people screaming yes from the live audience and the host chuckled.
“Yes I think we all really want to know. She’s normally so composed it had to have been something very naughty to elicit such a reaction. Is it dirty? Is it kinky? Is she really a sugar mama?”
Cat laughed.
“Well I’m about to disappoint everyone. Kara was very quick at the retrieval and I only managed to read when Lena was finishing up and that she would meet Kara at her apartment for dinner. I suspect that the messages scrolled up when she dropped her phone.”
There was a collective boo from the crowd.
“Surely you saw something. How else could you possibly have known there would be something there to use?”
“You’re forgetting I’m a very observant person. More so than Supergirl it seems. Kara went from having a basic swipe pattern on her phone to a ten digit pass code and no visible notifications. You don’t do that unless you’re suddenly very concerned about people knowing what you’re being sent, and by who. Also she blushed if you interrupted her mid message. It wasn’t hard to put two and two together.”
The crowd laughed and the host sat back smiling.
“Well then Detective Cat, how did you know the sender was Miss Luthor?”
“I’m a reporter not a detective,” Cat corrected with a smile. “Which is why that bit was easy. I saw two big stories break about L Corp acquisitions and for some reason Kara Danvers wasn’t writing exclusives about them. She’s had Lena as a source for years and I’ve seen that girl get an exclusive just by batting her lashes a few times. They may have had a difficult relationship for a time but I knew they were back on good terms and then suddenly Kara isn’t breaking those big stories. Their relationship had to have changed to something that made Kara worry about the ethics. And there was only one way that I could think of that relationship getting any closer…”
The host laughed as Cat’s tone became suggestive.
“She really got an exclusive by batting her lashes?”
“Yes. But if you think that’s bad you should have seen the lengths Kara would go to— well maybe I shouldn’t say. I don’t want to embarrass them too much.”
There was more laughter as the host playfully tried to convince her to go on. The laughter grew as everyone watched him playfully bat his eyes at Cat. She smiled and shook her head.
“Okay so the walk thing was a lie then,” the host said smiling.
“No, I knew right away when their relationship became physical.”
“Oh do tell. We’re all dying to know what changed in their walk?”
Cat leaned in close giving the camera a smug smile.
“As I said at the launch both of them were clearly sleep deprived but also in remarkably happy moods. Kara went from a ray of sunshine to insufferably happy and Lena, well I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Luthor smile that much. All those years of sexual tension had to have broken in a big way because the following day they were both apparently completely unable to properly close their legs without suddenly looking uncomfortable.”
The host made an exaggerated shocked face as the audience broke into whistles and laughter. Cat grinned and then removed her phone from her pocket.
“Do excuse me,” she read the message then looked at the camera. “Miss Luthor I accept your terms of surrender.”
She returned her phone to her pocket and the host thanked her for her time.
Kara looked at Lena.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m making her special order.”
Kara snuggled against Lena’s side as they turned the TV off.
“What are you going to do to her?”
“I have some ideas. Mostly involving denial,” Lena said.
Kara laughed.
“She’s going to be very upset when that happens.”
“Especially because it’ll work really well for a whole week first,” Lena said.
Kara laughed.
“So have you finished Supergirl’s special order?”
Lena turned to face Kara.
“Well I haven’t had a chance to attach a whole lot of sensors to her yet. Do you think I could get her to let me measure the exact amount of force?”
Lena ran her hand down Kara’s stomach and stopped just above her underwear her fingers teasing the edge.
“That would entirely depend on how it was measured.”
Kara wriggled a little to get in a better position. Lena hooked her fingers in the fabric and begun to slowly pull Kara’s underwear down.
“I might need to insert something inside her, and then give her an orgasm, for science.”
Lena tossed the underwear over the edge of the couch as Kara leaned back smiling as she watched Lena remove her shirt.
“Well if it’s for science I’m sure she’d agree.”
Lena saw the caller ID and couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. as she hit the record button
“Hello Cat, to what do I owe this pleasure,” Lena asked.
“It’s not working,” Cat said.
“What’s not working?”
“You know damn well what!”
Lena smiled.
“No, but I considering your tone I can guess. What’s wrong with it?”
“It keeps dying.”
“Did you charge it?”
She could hear Cat getting angrier.
“Why no I didn’t think to charge it. It’s not like that’s the first thing I tried. Of course I’m charging it! It’s on full goddamn battery. Which I’m sure you know.”
Lena did know. Really Cat should have expected this. Lena sighed dramatically and turned on her laptop.
“Alright, so when does it die?” Lena asked.
“Excuse me,” Cat said.
“You said it keeps dying that suggests it works for a time, so when does it stop?”
She could hear Cat thinking.
“Miss Grant if you don’t tell me when it’s stopping I can’t tell you what the problem is.”
“Just replace it,” Cat hissed.
Lena laughed.
“Cat I can’t just replace it. It’s a unique device. I need to know if it’s a software problem, which I can usually fix in five minutes, or if it’s the hardware. If it’s hardware I need to know which part is broken so I can get the replacement pieces made which could take a week. If I rebuild the whole thing from scratch it could take months depending when I have time, and as we both know I’m very busy at the moment.”
Lena looked away from her desk to Kara who was casually spread out in a chair trying not to make a noise. Lena let her eyes travel slowly up Kara’s legs to the edge of her dress. Kara noticed and spread her legs a little further spinning the chair to face Lena. Lena allowed herself a moment to look before returning her attention to the phone.
“Miss Grant, I’m waiting.”
There was a very angry tapping sound. Lena sighed again.
“You made me say my favourite sex toy live at a press conference and then sent a demand for me to personally make you a one. Not to mention everything you said on that late show. Now you’re hesitating to tell me how it’s being used so I can fix it for you-”
“The higher settings,” Cat said. “It’ll work for about two minutes on low but the moment I switch it to anything higher it will either die completely or work perfectly for another minute then refuse to function for another two hours.”
Lena smiled and closed her eyes. She did so enjoy winning.
“What about the patterns? Does it work normally with them?” she asked keeping her voice even.
Lena looked at Kara and saw her hand was covering her mouth to keep herself from laughing.
“Sometimes,” Cat hissed. “What does that have to do with it?”
“Well it could be a software problem, or the motor. Do you use a water or silicone lubricant?”
Kara was shaking as Lena gave her a warning look. Cat seemed to be thinking very hard.
“Water,” she said through gritted teeth.
Lena had to mute for a moment as she took several calming breaths. She unmuted.
“Hmm, well that should be fine. It’s probably software. So which patterns have been most successful?”
Cat sighed seemingly giving in.
“Two and four seem to mostly be fine but five and one will rarely work.”
“Well they are the more intense ones. It’s probably the motor then,” Cat made an exasperated sound. “But just to be sure can you plug it into your laptop?”
Lena heard Cat get up and gave Kara another warning look as she started choking.
“Done,” Cat said.
“Go to settings and open up the advanced menu, now click on analytics.”
Lena turned to her laptop and smiled as the files downloaded.
“Thank you Cat.”
“What for?” Cat asked suspicious.
“I’m just checking the records for any faults. Because it’s a prototype it keeps a record of every use, time stamped with a list of the settings used and for how long. I’m just checking over the numbers. I can see someone’s been busy.”
Lena winked at Kara. Kara couldn’t help her cough.
“What was that?” Cat demanded.
“Kara. You called me after eleven on a Friday, did you really think I was alone.”
“Am I on speaker?”
“Yes, how else would I be able to talk to you while looking over the diagnostics. Can you not hear me typing.”
Lena typed some gibberish into a notepad document.
“How much did you hear Kara?” Cat asked slowly.
Kara took a deep breath to stop herself laughing and leaned towards the phone.
“Everything,” she said.
There was silence and Lena clicked a button changing the settings.
“I found the problem, it seems the engine has been cutting off because it think it’s overheating. I’ll just fix that for you.”
She clicked over three settings and clicked apply. Cat made a growling noise.
“There, unplug it, turn it off and it should work perfectly again.”
Cat was silent for a minute.
“Thank you,” she said slowly.
“You’re welcome Miss Grant,” Lena answered sweetly.
“Miss Luthor how many people are listening to this call?” she asked.
“Just me, and Kara, well and Winn who’s recording it,” Lena looked up and slowly looked at her empty dining room. “And Kara’s sister Alex, and her girlfriend Kelly, and Nia and her boyfriend Brainy and-”
Cat hung up and the pair started laughing. Kara got up and wrapped her arms around Lena. Lena pulled her in for a kiss.
“Do you think she’s learnt her lesson yet?” Kara asked.
“We’ll see. How long do you think before she calls back?” Lena asked.
Kara smiled and led her over to the couch the two of them curling up under a warm blanket as Kara scrolled through their to watch list.
Five minutes later Kara’s phone rang. Kara answered and they heard Cat Grant’s infuriated scream and the sound of something heavy being thrown across the room before she hung up on their laughter.
Cat Grant took her place at the podium about to address the assembled media when there was a sudden breeze and Supergirl walked towards her smiling tossing something in her hands. Cat was suddenly very worried.
“Supergirl what-”
“Special delivery from Lena Luthor. Catch.”
Cat caught the object on instinct and had a sudden realization as she held the bright red sex toy in her hands, it was bigger than the previous one.
“She said she’s fixed the motor issues, this one won’t burn out on you. It’s also safe with silicone based lubricants and as a bonus she even made it bulletproof.”
Cat was perfectly still watching the smirking super. Her hand gripping the toy as the cameras flashed.
“She also said if you’re willing to let this end here there’s a sweetener. She thought you’d like it.”
Supergirl held up a USB.
“She’s offering me a sex toy and porn. I’m starting to think she’s flirting,” Cat said trying for her usual detached smirk.
Supergirl beamed back.
“Oh it’s not porn. It’s the troubleshooting recording and associated data.”
Cat’s smile disappeared. Supergirl handed over an envelope. Aware of the cameras still recording she opened it. She looked up and directly into the cameras.
“Agreed.”
She held out her hand and Supergirl gave her the USB. Cat looked her up and down. The super looked back.
“You seem remarkably happy right now Supergirl.”
“Oh I am,” Supergirl leaned over to make sure her voice was properly picked up by the microphone. “I haven’t had engine trouble. Good evening Miss Grant.”
She took two steps then turned back.
“Oh and I almost forgot. Kara said since it’s a one off they named it for you. She thought you’d like it, have fun with Lois.”
Cat looked down and saw the name written down one side in white. A laughing Supergirl took off leaving a furious Cat standing before the cameras holding a sex toy. She took a deep breath and put the toy down before starting her briefing. No one was brave enough to ask about it.
