It was the early hours of the morning, sometime between 4:45-5:30am when Lena walked into her favourite 24 hour café. The CEO often woke up early before heading to work. It was like a morning ritual for her to be the first one in the office each day.
She waited for her coffee, looking around the shop. She wished she could see what it truly looked like. Lena could only imagine the pop of colour that this place had to it. But unfortunately, in this world one doesn't see colour until they run into their soulmate. The person they're supposed to be with. For Lena, that hadn't happened yet. Part of her was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen.
Lena's thoughts were interrupted when her name was called for her order, she thanked the cashier and gave them a tip before leaving. Having paid earlier, of course.
The city was typically quiet around this hour. Another reason why Lena liked being awake so early. You got to miss the busy buzz of afternoon traffic. Looking to her phone, Lena scrolled some emails and gave quick responses to texts.
She didn't notice you until it was already too late.
Your morning had started in a rush. For whatever dumb reason, you had agreed to the ungodly hour opening shift. Covering for one of your work friends. You rushed about your apartment. Quickly showering, brushing your teeth, speed eating. The usual.
When you had everything you needed, you bolted out the door. 5:10am, you had to be there for 5:30am. Your job was only about a 10 minute walk from your apartment, so you took the risk.
You made the mistake of looking to your phone and seeing how little time you had. Taking off at a sprint to get there.
You didn't notice Lena until it was too late.
With how much of a rush you were in, you were only focused on your destination. Not what was around you. Until you collided fully into some poor woman who had been looking down at her phone and didn't see you coming.
It all happened so fast and before either of you knew it, you'd both fallen to the ground. Lena landing on top of you, coffee spilling all over your work uniform. Shit, you'd have to borrow a spare when you got there.
You winced as the hot liquid hit your skin, closing your eyes.
"Damn it, watch where you're-" Lena froze. Her eyes landed to your closed ones and she realized something. She could see colour. At first, Lena had been upset with you. For bumping into her, spilling her coffee, ruining her perfect morning ritual. But, just maybe, you'd made it better. There was colour.
"I'm so so s-sorry- I-" you began to stutter, eyes opening only to stop and realize the same thing Lena had. There was colour.
The two of you stayed quiet for a long moment. You'd definitely be late for work now but you couldn't find yourself caring. Not when...
"It's... alright- do you see it too?" Lena asked. Making sure that it wasn't just her. That both of you were experiencing the same thing. A world of colour.
"Y- yeah. I do," you nodded.
"You're..." you both started to say, then your eyes widened and you laughed. Realizing you were speaking at the same time already.
"I'm sorry about your outfit," Lena got up and helped you to your feet, you shook your head and brushed yourself off.
"Nah, don't be. My work has spares. I'm sorry about your coffee, though. Let me pay for a new one," you offered.
Lena smiled, damn you had a charm to you.
"That's quite alright, you mentioned work? Are you going to be late?" She checked the time. 5:23am.
"Crap-" you glanced in the direction of the building, then to Lena. Quickly, the two of you exchanged numbers, said goodbyes and you ran to work. Somehow by some utter miracle, you'd just barely made it on time.
Though, throughout your entire shift, your mind could only focus on Lena. Until you realized, you didn't even get her name.
Request - Can you do a MR! X lena Luthor fluff. R is Kara’s brother who came to earth with her when Krypton exploded, he also followed Kara to CatCo but became a Photographer instead of Assistant and when he met Lena became head over heels with her. Lena and R have a Lois and Clark style relationship until one day he saves her and reveals his identity to her
“I can't believe Cat left,” You said.
“I can't believe it, either. But you will like working there, just trust me. Lena will be a great boss” Kara said.
You knew that Kara was friends with Lena but you never met her. You and Kara used to live in Krypton, then went to Earth when Krypton exploded. You do wear glasses just like Kara and she is happy that you will work with her at Catco. You used to live with your sister but you moved out and she won't admit it but she does miss living with you.
You arrive at the company and she takes you to Lena’s office. Lena saw you and Kara walk into the office then she stood up, and walked toward you and Kara. She is smiling at you and you forgot how to say hi, you stare into her green eyes. Your body is feeling hot your heart is beating faster and faster. Lena said hi and she waiting for you to say hi back and tell her your name. You can't stop staring at her and you still don't say anything to her, then Kara taps your arm with her elbow.
“She asked your name,” Kara said.
“Oh-… My name is Y/N, I’m her brother” You said.
“Nice to meet you, Y/N. I know she is your sister because of her last name. Can I see your portfolio?” Lena said.
“Portfolio?” You asked.
“The big book, Y/N” Kara laughed.
“Oh!” You said.
You hand over your portfolio and Lena starts to look at the pictures carefully. You are feeling nervous that she is looking at your pictures and she doesn't say a word just yet. Lena doesn't look up just yet, but she can feel your eyes on her. Then she looks up and she looks at the camera around your neck. She thinks you are cute and she stares into your eyes for a few seconds.
“Y/n, you are very talented. I like how you capture the light and the moment in each picture. You got the job, as the new photographer” Lena smiled.
“Wow, thanks Ms Luthor,” You said.
You like how she says your name.
“Just call me Lena,” Lena said.
You nod then Kara gives you a hug and you can't stop smiling.
“Kara, I want you to work on an article with William Dey. It's about the new library opening in a neighborhood and they are giving away food for the families. And Y/N, you will come with me” Lena said.
“I will get on it” Kara smiled.
Kara left and you are feeling nervous again.
“Why me?” You asked.
“It's for work obviously, Y/N. Get your camera ready and let's go” Lena said.
You and Lena leave together and you sit next to her in the car. You smell her perfume and you like the scent. You never felt nervous around women before.
“We are going to a hospital for sick children. I need you to take pictures of them and everyone else and the hospital. We will need donations and posting pictures online will benefit the hospital” Lena said.
“I can do that. It's nice that you are helping them” You said.
“People deserve healthcare no matter what their financial status is,” Lena said.
“I understand,” You said.
You and Lena arrive at the hospital and you get the camera ready. You start to take pictures of the press conference and the guests. Lena gets on stage and you start to take pictures of her. Later, Lena starts to spend time with the sick kids and you start to take pictures of her with them. You start to like her even more because of how she likes to help people in need.
“Y/N, show me the pictures,” Lena said.
“Sure,” You said.
You start to show her the pictures and you watch her.
“Wow, Y/N each picture came out great and you didn't even edit the pictures yet,” Lena said.
“You are beautiful,” You said.
“Thank you, but you shouldn't say that to your boss,” Lena said.
“I’m sorry. I just blur out…”
“Y/N, calm down I’m not firing you,” Lena said.
“Sorry,” You said shyly.
“It’s alright. Get back to work” Lena said
“Yeah,” You said.
You continue to work and Lena starts to talk to the press again. Much later, you and Lena went back to the office. You start to edit the pictures then you stare at the screen and you stare at Lena’s eyes.
———
Lena would sometimes stare at you when you were not looking. She thinks you are cute but she doesn't want to cross the line between boss and employee. On the TV, everyone sees there is an explosion at a building and the fire is out of control. You and Kara stare at each other and then nod, you two sneak away and head to the elevator.
“Where are you two going?” Lena asked.
“Oh, umm we are going to cover the story,” You said quickly
You and your sister rushed to the elevator and you closed the door. You and Kara ran towards the alley and quickly changed. You and Kars fly toward the building on fire. Clark arrived and you two are happy to see him.
“Still no cape, Y/N?” Clark asked.
“Still trying to find my own style,” You said.
“I keep telling him, capes are cool but he is just being stubborn” Kara teased.
You start to work together with them saving people and putting out the fire. You saved a firefighter’s life, she almost fell inside the building when the ceiling fell and blocked the exit. Everyone started to cheer for you, Kara, and Clark.
Much later, you returned to the office and Lena asked questions about where you went. You lied about asking people about the fire and she did believe you. Now, she wants the article before morning then you texted Kara and told her what happened. She did help you, she wrote the article then you went back to take pictures of the building.

You are working late and you just finished. Before going home, you see Lena in her office and you go into her office.
“Is everything okay?” You asked.
“I thought you went home,” Lena said.
“I thought the same for you. But i was editing some pictures. You seem sad, do you want to talk about it?” You said.
“I don't want to bother you and I’m sure your girlfriend is waiting for you at home,” Lena said.
“I don't have a girlfriend. But you can talk to me, I’m a good listener. Is it about your brother Lex?” You said.
You sit down next to her on the couch. You start to listen to her talk about her family drama and she likes that you are listening to her. She is surprised that you are single. You did change the conversation to make her laugh and she did laugh at your funny stories.
There would be times that you would stay late at work, to edit pictures. Lena would also stay late and work long hours and she would skip lunch.
“You didn't have to buy lunch for me, I’m your boss,” Lena said.
“I don't forget you are my boss. It’s passed eleven and it's nighttime and you skipped lunch. You are my boss from morning until eight at night, so right now just think of it as two friends having a late dinner together” You said.
Lena couldn't help to smile because of your response.
“What kind of pizza is it?” Lena asked.
“I didn't know what you liked so I picked pepperoni” You smiled.
“I do like pepperoni on my pizza. Okay, I will join you for dinner” Lena smiled.
You smiled and put the food on the table. She sits next to you, then you and Lena start to ask questions about each other. She is starting to have feelings for you but won't tell you tonight. After a while of eating and talking, you take her home.
“Thank you for taking me home,” Lena said.
“Anytime. I couldn't let you go home alone at this time, Lena” You said.
She briefly held your hand.
“Thank you and get home safe,” Lena said.
You are in shock that she is holding your hand.
“Bye,” You smiled.
You watched Lena go inside her building then you went home.

Before heading to work, you noticed Lena following Morgan Edge. You start to follow Lena but she doesn't notice you just yet. You take pictures of Morgan Edge talking to Benjamin Lockwood. You have super hearing and you hear them talking Supergirl and your alter ego. Lena starts to walk away then she bumps into you, and you almost drop your camera.
“Y/N what are you doing here?” Lena asked.
“I can ask the same for you. I saw you following him then i started to take pictures. Why are you following him?” You said.
“We can't talk here, let's go,” Lena said.
You went to the office with Lena. She starts to tell you why she is following him.
“He is poisoning the water in the poor neighborhoods and lying about me. I wanted to catch him in the act so people can see it's him, not me” Lena said.
“Oh. We will figure out how to catch him, don't worry about it you can trust me” You said.
“I do trust you that you won't tell anyone,” Lena said.
“I won’t tell anyone,” You said.
“Okay. Get to work” Lena said.
You leave her office then you sit at your desk. You are thinking hard about how to get him to confess or catch him in the act. But you don't tell your sister about it and she has been very busy.
The next night, you started to follow Benjamin and Morgan. You caught them spilling toxic waste into the pipes and you started to take pictures of them. Then someone brings out Lena tied up and you take a picture. Now, you change clothes and they are about to hurt her. But you used speed to stop Benjamin from hurting her.
“You won't hurt anyone else,” You said.
“Where did you come from?” Benjamin asked.
You don't say anything and you start to fight Morgan and Benjamin. You used a metal pipe to tie them up but they are passed out. You easily punched them and they passed out.
“Lena, are you okay?” You asked.
The cops arrived and you ripped the zip tie around her wrists. You tell them what happened and they believe you and Lena. You pick up Lena and fly her to the office.
“Thank you, Y/N,” Lena said.
“What?” You asked.
“I know it's you. Because of your camera and the last letters on your camera,” Lena said.
You look at your camera, you forgot to take it off. You didn't think about it because you didn't want her to get hurt even if you were two seconds late.
“I was following them to get proof then I saw you. I didn't want them to hurt you and I forgot to take off my camera” You said.
“I thought you would deny it,” Lena said.
“I didn't want to lie to you, Lena,” You said.
“Thank you for not lying to me,” Lena said.
Lena slowly leans in and you feel her lips on your lips. She starts to kiss you and you start to kiss her back and her lipstick gets on your lips.
———-
You and Lena started dating in secret. But you two keep it professional at work and she doesn't give you special treatment. Tonight, you went to Lena’s condo to spend time with her. You and Lena are making tacos and she is having fun making tacos with you.
“I never made tacos before” Lena smiled.
She drinks her wine.
“Do you like making it?” You asked.
“With you, Yes I like making it” Lena smiled.
She gives you a peck on the lips. After dinner, you and Lena cuddle on the couch to watch a scary movie. She hides her face on your chest and you have your arm around her. Again, she hid her face in your chest, and she held on to your shirt.
“We don't have to finish the movie, I will watch it on my own I want to see how it ends,” You said.
You stopped the movie and she slightly moved away.
“I didn't expect the movie to be scary,” Lena said.
“You didn't have to yes to watch a scary movie. We could have watched a chick-flick movie” You said.
“I do like other genres of movies not just chick flicks, Y/N” Lena said.
“I know, i was just teasing. We could play a game? Have any board games or cards?” You said.
“I have a game called Jenga, it belongs to your sister and she forgot to take it home. We could play that game” Lena smiled.
“Let’s play” You smiled.
She takes out the game and you start to set it up. You and Lena became competitive and she doesn't stop smiling at you. Lena is happy that doesn't have to change who she is with you and you accept everything about her. Lena won the first round then you and Lena started to play again.
A bit later, she asked you to stay the night. You cuddle with her in bed while talking, and you and Lena start to kiss each other. She has her leg on top of you and you two are smiling at each other. Your hand is under her shirt and she has her hand on your cheek and she kisses you again.

It’s starting to get cold in National City because it's December. You and Lena are in a serious relationship and taking it slow. You are happy that you are able to tell her stories about when you used to live on Krypton, she does enjoy the stories.
“You didn't celebrate Christmas on Krypton?” Lena asked.
“No. We didn't have Earth holidays on my planet. When I got to Earth, Eliza introduced us to Earth holidays and I liked Halloween, Christmas, and summer because I got to play with fireworks. Do you have Christmas traditions?” You said.
“No. Mother and Lex are not the types to celebrate holidays to spend time with family. Mother was busy with work and Lex well… he just didn't have much time with me besides playing chess. I was shipped to boarding school and spent the holidays alone” Lena said.
“Oh, well that wasn't fun to spend the holidays alone,” You said.
“I got used to it,” Lena said.
You used your strength to move the tree where she wanted it. Then you and Lena start to decorate the tree together and she is happy that she is with you on the holidays. After decorating the tree, you start to put Christmas decorations on the wall while she puts decorations on the shelves of the fireplace. Then you and Lena started to bake Christmas cookies together.
You are spending more nights at Lena’s condo. She did make space for your clothes and items in the closet and bathroom. She takes a shower and then puts on your hoodie to be warm. She is lying on her side and you are on your side behind her, and you have your arm around her and her fingers go between your fingers.
The next day, you and Lena leave the city for the weekend. She booked a hotel in a small town just to be alone. It started to snow, you decided to convince your girlfriend to build a snowman. You tried to roll a big snowball, but you missed-placed your foot, and you fell on top of the snowball.
“Not funny, Lena,” You said.
“It is funny, that's why I'm laughing” Lena giggled.
She does help you stand up. Then she started to wipe the snow off you then she kissed you on the lips.
“Better?” Lena smiled.
“No” You smiled.
“Let me try again,” Lena said.
She grabbed your scarf and she started to kiss you.
A bit later, after playing in the snow, you and Lena went to a skating rink, she held your hand while skating with you.
“I haven't done this in many years,” Lena said.
“Last time I did it, I was a teenager,” You said.
You stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Lena asked.
“Someone is in trouble, they are yelling for help,” You said.
“Go, I will wait,” Lena said.
“Grab dinner and wait for me at the hotel,” You said.
You kiss her on the lips before she says something, and you quickly leave. You changed into your suit and you went to save a family from almost driving off the cliff. Then someone needed help, their car got stuck on the train tracks and you stayed out for a while saving people. Lena did buy dinner and she headed back to the hotel.
————
Lena planned a toy charity event, people are donating toys and other items to the kids in the hospital. You are taking pictures and you have a Santa hat on your head and a Christmas vest that Lena bought for you. Kara is at the event and sees you sneak away but at first, she doesn't you are following Lena. Kara got curious and started to follow you toward the hallway which was isolated, then she gasped.
“You kissed Lena!” Kara said too loud.
Some of Lena’s lipstick is on your lips.
“Were you following me?” You asked.
“Don’t change the subject. Wait, are you two dating?” Kara said.
“Yes, I’m dating your brother and no one else knows about us,” Lena said.
“This is great. I’m in shock but I’m so happy for you two. Why you didn't tell me?” Kara said.
“I was going to tell you,” You said.
“You can't tell anyone, we have to be professional,” Lena said.
“I won't tell anyone. But they need you to make a speech, go now”’ Kara said.
Lena left to make a speech and you wiped your lips.
“We should head back,” You said.
“You are in love with Lena” Kara teased
“What-… no I’m not in love” You lied.
“Yes, you are. So cute you try to deny it but I know you are in love” Kara giggled.
“I haven't told her yet that I’m in love with her. And she is about my powers but I didn't tell her that you have powers also, but I think she knows about it” You said.
“She is smart, but I think I should tell her. But I’m happy for you, I thought after what happened with your last ex you stopped looking for love” Kara said.
“Lena is different and she isn't just anyone. I told her not to give me special treatment at work but she did buy this watch for me as an early Christmas gift” You said.
You show your sister the watch and she gasped.
“I saw this watch online it cost over ten thousand dollars” Kara gasped.
“I didn't ask for it, she just surprised me with it,” You said.
“You should invite her to meet Eliza for Christmas” Kara smiled.
“Good idea. Mom will like her” You said.
You call Eliza ‘mom’ and Kara just calls her by her first name. You and Kara head back and you start to take pictures of everyone and the gifts for the kids and their families. Much later, you go to Lena’s condo and you invite her to meet Eliza for Christmas and she agrees to go.
“Do you think she will accept our relationship?” Lena asked.
You wrap your arms around her waist and she puts her arms around your shoulders.
“Of course, she will accept you and our relationship. You are beautiful, smart, funny, and caring. I can go on about why she will like you” You smiled.
She kissed you on the lips.
“And you are handsome, funny, a bit nerdy, and smart” Lena smiled.
⁀➷ Summary: When you’re flying back home from a business trip, you find yourself jet-lagged. Lena’s here to make it better.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
The plane ride home had been gruelling, and your mind felt foggy as you raised a weary arm to hail a cab to finally take you back to your apartment.
The city lights blurred outside the window, and you could hardly keep your eyes open, resting your head against the cold glass. Turbulence and a screaming baby had kept you from catching up on the day or so of sleep you’d desperately been craving - not to mention the being in multiple time zones in the span of a few days. It had all begun to take its toll of you, leaving you feeling jet lagged and just overall exhausted.
The cab pulled up to your apartment building, and you stumbled out, dragging your suitcase behind you. The keys felt heavy in your hand as you fumbled to unlock the door. Lena must have heard your tired footsteps because she opened the door with such a sweet smile that you were helpless to stop your cheeks from blushing pink.
“Welcome home my love.” Lena purred, pulling you into a deep hug, one which left you melting into her arms. You hadn’t realised how much you’d missed her touch, her voice, her everything.
She took your bag, setting it to the side and she guided you inside, “Let’s get you settled in baby.”
You nodded as her hand came to rest on your back, guiding you over to the living room after you’d kicked off your shoes.
“I’m so glad to be home.” You finally uttered, feeling the weight of the day slowly begin to lift as you let yourself sink into the familiarity of the sofa. It was a little hard to get comfy at first. You’d been sat down for most of the day to the point your legs had started to ache and go numb and then there was that pounding at the front of your head, like someone repeatedly banging on a drum.
Lena was quick to sit beside you, “How was the trip darling? Everything went smoothly I hope?”
You shrugged, “Work was fine, everything went good,” You let out a small sigh, letting your head fall onto her chest as you cuddled up to her, “Those flights were awful though.”
“I forget you don’t like flying, do you?” She sighed, she’d insisted you take her jet and she fly you herself but you’d convinced her the hassle wasn’t worth it just for a small trip. Lena pressed a kiss to the front of your temple and noticed the slight way you winced at the touch, “Your head hurts?” She asked, seemingly already knowing the answer.
“Throbbing.”
“You’re dehydrated sweetheart, that’s why your head hurts.” Your girlfriend whispered, she had noticed the subtle way your lips had begun to chap at the edges - it was your tell. It was how she knew when you hadn’t been drinking enough.
“Maybe.” You sighed, knowing she was definitely right.
She stood up, her hand trailing from your slightly-messy hair before heading over to the kitchen. Lena didn’t take long and she quickly returned with a fresh bottle of water from the fridge.
“Here, make sure you drink, okay?” She mumbled softly, the cold bottle was placed into your hand, “I know how you are about forgetting these things.”
You nodded, lips fastening around the neck of the bottle before taking a slow sip of the cool liquid which earnt a nod of approval from your wife. The gesture was quickly followed by a soft kiss to the top of your forehead and you could feel her gentle hand begin to run through your hair.
The Luthor reached down into her pocket, pulling out a small packet of paracetamol. “You should take these too.” She said, popping two out of the packet and waited for you to take them.
“Good girl, thank you.” She hummed quietly as she took the drink from you and set it aside. The sound was soft and comforting. You found yourself settling into her touch, your hand coming to rest on her thigh as you looked up at her sleepily, “We’ll get you to bed soon, don’t worry. You’ve got nothing to do tomorrow at all, you can sleep as long as you need.”
“Thank you Le’, I’m really grateful for everything.” A soft smile played on your lips as you both settled down into each other’s hold, enjoying the comforting silence of each other.
“Did you miss me?” You broke the silence a few minutes later as you quietly murmured, you already knew the answer of course but just needed to hear it.
Lena smiled, as she let your spare hand come to cup your chin, tilting your head up to meet her emerald eyes, “Of course I did, you know I always miss you.” You felt her kiss your forehead again but this time you sat up, mirroring her touch as you cupped her face before pressing a deep kiss to her cherry lips.
« Notes: sorry this is a little late, I’ve been busy and just needed a little time to polish it up! I’ll fix the title in the morning ;) »
〘 Check Out My Masterlist! 〙〘 Advent 2023 Masterlist! 〙
“Lena I don’t want to hear it!” You growled the words as your girlfriend tried to explain why she had been home so late. This wasn’t the first time it had happened. You knew how she struggled with communicating or losing track of her work sometimes but this was different. She had promised go be home on time. She had promised to share the evening together with you, like you’d planned. She had promised to make the anniversary of your relationship special.
It didn’t matter now anyway. The dinner you’d made sat untouched on the table, stone cold. You didn’t even want to hear her reasoning for being late. You already knew in at heart. She’d gotten caught up in her work and had simply forgotten. Thats how it always went.
In the tense silence that followed, Lena's eyes pleaded for understanding, but you couldn't bring yourself to soften. Frustration and disappointment lingered in the air, wrapping around both of you like an unwelcome shroud. As you stood there, the weight of unmet expectations pressed on your shoulders. The room felt like it was growing hotter. Getting smaller. Everything seemed to sway and swoon as your vision hazed in and you out of focus. You needed some fresh air and you needed it now.
You stormed out of the apartment, the door slamming shut behind you - not even bothering to grab a jacket. The cool night air hit your face, providing a momentary relief from the stifling tension inside. Your mind raced with a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. As you walked the dimly lit streets, you found yourself at a nearby park, seeking solace under the stars. Looking up at the unknown was always something that relaxed you. The endless possibilities of space. At heart you knew it wasn’t Lena’s fault entirely. She’d come home exhausted just last week as a result of the stress work had been causing her but it just hurt when her work got in the way of your personal lives.
The distant rumble of thunder interrupted your thoughts, and as you looked up at the night sky, raindrops began to fall. The gentle drizzle soon turned into a steady rain, drenching you in seconds. The cool water on your face felt strangely soothing. It was a good kind of cold.
However even the rain seemed to turn on you as you shivered involuntarily and giving a reluctant sigh, you decided to finally head back home. The rain soaked through your clothes as you hurried back, each step feeling heavier than the last. By the time you reached your apartment, you were drenched and exhausted. The door creaked open, revealing the aftermath of your heated argument. It was quiet inside. Lena had most likely retreated to the bedroom into the bedroom. But you were unwilling to face the bedroom just yet, so instead you settled on the living room sofa. It wasn’t warm nor did you have a blanket but sneaking into the bedroom to grab a change of clothes wasn’t exactly something you were eager to do.
Instead you curled up on the sofa, trying to ignore the uncomfortable sensation of the wet clothes against your cold skin. Turning over you let your head fall onto one of the pillows and you shut your eyes, hoping to slip into a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, you awoke with a heavy head and a throat that felt like it had been scraped with sandpaper. The remnants of last night's argument lingered in your mind, but they were overshadowed by the unmistakable signs of an impending illness. Stupid rain. Stupid cold. Stupid lack of a jacket! With a groan, you dragged yourself out of the makeshift bed on the sofa, your body protesting every movement as forced yourself to get dressed for work.
Despite the creeping heat of an uncoming fever seeping through your body, you trudged into the DEO, determined to fulfill your responsibilities as a agent there.
Colleagues shot concerned glances your way, but you brushed them off with a forced smile. The familiar hum of the high-tech agency felt louder than usual, pounding against your throbbing head.
As you attempted to focus on your tasks, the overhead intercom crackled to life. "Agent Y/L/N, report to Director Danvers' office immediately," the stern voice echoed through the facility causing you to grumble in annoyance as you pushed yourself up stumbled towards Alex's office.
Upon entering, you found yourself friend sitting at her drsk, concern etched across her face. "You look terrible," she remarked, her voice a mix of sympathy and scolding. "I've already called Lena. She'll pick you up. You need to go home and rest. You can’t work like this.”
“Ale-“ You couldn’t even begin to sigh her name before you were interrupted with a rough throat scraping cough, “Why did you-“
She raised a stern eyebrow before pulling a bottle of water out from her drawer and sliding it over the desk towards you, “That’s exactly why. I’m not just telling you this as your boss but as your friend. You’re sick. You need to go home. This is not an option.” You knew Alex’s stern voice and this was definitely it. There really was no point arguing with her, she was the director after all.
Lena didn’t take long to arrive. Less than 10 minutes which was very impressive given the traffic at this hour. All it took was one look at you sitting slumped in Alex’s office, your exhausted drooping eyes looking up at her as a box of tissues sat open in your lap to make her heart melt.
Your girlfriend was by your side in an instant, concern etched across her face. "How did this happen?" She crouched down, brushing a gentle hand over your forehead, her keen eyes not missing the subtle way you tensed beneath her touch.
The weight of the previous night's argument lingered in the air, but the genuine worry in Lena's expression softened the edges of the tension between you. She spoke with a gentle tone, "You should have told me you weren't feeling well, darling. I hate seeing you like this."
You managed a weak smile, appreciating Lena's concern despite the strained circumstances. "I didn't want to bother you. Besides, we had enough on our plates with everything - last night - already."
Lena shook her head, her fingers brushing through your hair comfortingly. "You're never a bother to me. We're in this together, remember?" She glanced up at Alex, who had been pretending to make herself busy in order to not intrude on your conversation, "I'll take her home, Thanks for looking out for her."
Alex nodded, her stern facade softening. "Always. Now you two ake care of each other. And Y/N, don't come back until you're fully recovered. That’s an order. I’ll come round tomorrow to check in if you’re feeling up to it.” She smiled over at you.
Lena helped you up, offering a supportive arm as you made your way out of the DEO. The car ride home was quiet at first, both of you lost in your thoughts. Lena finally spoke, breaking the silence, "I'm sorry, Y/N. I know I messed up last night, and I should have been there for you."
You sighed, leaning your head against the car window. The cool glass working wonders to soothe your pounding temples. “I overreacted, Lena. It wasn't just about last night. It's this constant struggle with your work taking precedence over us. I miss us, Lena, and I just want to find a balance." You sniffled.
Lena's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and she took a deep breath. "I promise, Y/N, I'll make it up to you. We'll figure this out together. I love you, and I don't want us to keep hurting each other like this."
As she parked the car, you both sat in almost silence for a moment. The rain from the previous night was still pattering down, drumming against the windows as it filled the car with its steady thrum. Lena turned to you, her eyes sincere, "Let's take care of you first. We can talk about this more later, okay? You’re the most important thing to me right now and right now what you need to be is looked after. So that’s what I’m going to do.”

*how i imagine their clothing at the end, but you can imagine anything you'd like*
*not my gif*
Many people at school thought you were weird. The fact that you wore these ‘dorky’ glasses and ‘stupid’ clothes was slowly eating away at you. Nobody knew your moms were Supergirl and Lena Luthor, two of the biggest names in pop culture - Lena had kept her publicity quiet whilst Kara hadn’t revealed her identity to the world.
You spotted Kara as you walked out of school, another horrid day of year two eating away at your young and boisterous personality.
“Hi Mama!” You yelled excitedly, running up to her and tackling her in a hug.
“Hello, my darling inah (daughter).” She kissed your forehead before buckling you into your seat, making your jaw drop as a gasp came out.
“Mommy!”
“Hiya, sweetheart.” Lena grinned from the front passenger seat, making goofy faces at you in her mirror as she touched up her mascara.
“Are you ready to go home, baby?” Kara asked after buckling herself into her seatbelt.
“Mhms! Is cousie Esme at home?” You replied.
“She sure is!”
“And Auntie Alex? Auntie Kelly?!”
“Yep and yep!” Lena answered this time, the two of them surprised at your excitement.
“How was your day at school, honey?”
“It was so fun, Mommy! We had somebody come today and I got to pet a lizard! He had a blue tongue too!” You giggled at the memory, looking out of the window.
“That sounds amazing, Y/N/N.” Lena smiled warmly at you, tickling your leg.
As you all made your way back to Lena’s penthouse loft, you immediately ran up the stairs. You threw your bag down, not caring about the stuff inside, and went back downstairs to see everybody.
You tackled Alex and Kelly in a hug, the two of them almost losing the air in their lungs whilst Esme quickly copied Kara so you wouldn’t hurt her. “Hey, little cousie.”
“Hi hi!” You grinned, seeing an assortment of crayons on the table in front of you. “Can I draw you something?” You whispered in Esme’s ear, to which she nodded.
You immediately sat down and began to draw your masterpiece, making sure the sun was in the top corner and the sky was blue. Everybody was on the page in their correct spots, your Mommy and Mama holding either of your hands whilst everybody else stood beside them.
“Y/N, dinner is ready!” Kara called out to you from the kitchen, your head popping up to see everybody making their way over.
You scrambled to get onto your chair at the table, waiting patiently for everyone to sit before you pulled out your drawing. “Look! Do you all like it?”
Gasps and applause came from them all, with the drawing being passed around as dinner was served. You giggled at Kara’s heat vision on the chicken, wanting to use yours but you weren’t quite in control yet.
When Kara got the drawing, she smiled at herself in her Supergirl outfit before putting it on the fridge along with some of your other creations. You enjoyed the dinner consisting of the carbonara pasta for you, whilst others ate from the other dishes on the table until Alex decided on watching a movie.
You snuggled up between Kara and Lena, to which Nia guided a blanket on top of your trio which made you beam at her. “Thanks, Auntie Nia!”
“You’re very welcome, Y/N/N.” She beamed back, kissing your forehead gently before she cuddled up to Brainy.
As the movie played on, you grew bored as you didn’t understand some of the older references, so you decided to draw again. As your mind wandered to what school would be like tomorrow, your drawing began to reflect that. The crayons you used were usually bright, but now they were full of shadows and darkness.
Eventually you grew tired and climbed back up to Lena, having no space to sit between Kara and the noirette, which left you with your toes hiding underneath Nia’s blanket. As you fell asleep, her mind fell into your dream and she watched the bullies teasing you for your glasses and clothes.
When she woke up, however, she didn’t want to disturb Kara and Lena’s special time together, so she kept it to herself and gently manipulated your dream into something more fun and exciting.
———————————————————————
Kara was not expecting a call from your school as she sat in Lena’s office on her lunch break. She looked up at Lena and the two made their way to your school, seeing you sniffling and shaking in your seat.
“Honey baby, what happened?” Kara knelt in front of you, gently wiping away your tears.
You shook your head and your tears poured, making Kara very distressed as she picked you up easily, bouncing you and herself instead of flying like she used to when you were little. She turned to Lena, who had spoken with the receptionist, and gently put you back down in your chair.
“Y/N/N, lovey, we will be right back, okay?” She kissed your forehead, noticing your glasses were crooked before righting them.
She stepped into the principal’s office with Lena, her in a blue argyle style whilst Lena was in her dark maroon suit. They sat down in a set of chairs next to what they could only assume was the other child’s mother and father, the plaque at the end of the desk reading Principal Johnson.
“What happened?” Lena asked, a tinge of annoyance in her tone.
“Ms Luthor, Ms Danvers, this is Mr and Mrs. Kepler. There’s no easy way to say this, but… Y/N hit their son Will and broke his nose.” Mr. Johnson sighed.
Kara’s eyes widened behind her glasses. “What?!”
Lena’s hand fell onto Kara’s in assurance. “Can someone tell us what happened? Possibly what caused the fight?”
“Unfortunately, the teacher on duty wasn’t watching over their spout and only saw the end result.” He shrugged.
Lena immediately stood and opened the door, picking you up from your chair and bringing you inside. You’d never been inside this room before, this was the principal’s office. This was where the bad kids were sent - you weren’t a bad kid, were you?
“Y/N, honey, can you tell us what happened? The silly teacher wasn’t watching and Mama and I want to know.” Lena asked you gently, noticing how the unfamiliar surroundings and new people were scaring you.
“W-Well, I was playing in the sand pit a-and Will came to play. I di-didn’t want to play with him so I said no.”
You looked over at the scowling parents before Kara adjusted her seat so you didn’t see them, only your Mama and Mommy. “Keep going, darling. Take your time.” She cooed, brushing some tear-soaked hairs out of your face.
“N-n he didn’t like that. Mama, he took my glasses!” You took them off and showed her them - the middle part that rested on your nose was broken.
“Did he break your glasses, honey?” She asked carefully.
“Mhm! He stomped on them.” You sniffled. “I like my glasses. B-But he says he doesn’t like them, ever. And he doesn’t like my clothes either. He says I look ugly in them.”
You watched your Mama and Mommy’s faces fall with sadness, worry building in yours. “No! Didn’t mean to make you sad!”
“Honey, did you punch Will because he called you ugly and broke your glasses?” Kara asked, not even listening to your heartbeat.
You shook your head frantically. “No, Mama! I just pushed him out of the sand pit! He tripped on the side and fell on his face, promise!”
She nodded, carefully taking you into her arms before she readjusted her seat and looked at the other parents who held Will. “Well then I think this whole situation has been sorted. Just a simple misunderstanding.” Mr. Johnson smiled sheepishly.
“I don’t think so.” Lena stood, folding her arms.
You knew this wasn’t soft Mommy - this was Mommy the Boss, and Kara took you outside of the room.
“Will has been bullying Y/N for her glasses and her clothes. He needs to learn that bullying isn’t okay.” Lena stated.
“He’s in year two, Ms. Luthor. It’s nothing more than teasing - he might even like Y/N.” Mr. Kepler replied.
“I expect my child’s glasses to be paid for, Mr. Kepler. And summing up this bullying to something so weird as Will fancying her is wrong. It shouldn’t be okay for this to happen. If this continues, Mr. Johnson, I will pull Y/N out of this school.”
With that, Lena closed the principal’s door behind her, seeing you and Kara in the reception. She immediately smiled at you and hugged you when you made some grabby hands, your head burying into her neck.
“Mommy, can we go flying later?” You asked softly.
“Of course we can, baby. Let’s go home first so we can get our special clothes on.” She answered, which was your code word for the super suits.
You were quiet on the walk to the car, which surprised the two women before they realised you were asleep. “Maybe we can go flying tomorrow.” Kara teased, gently kissing your forehead as she buckled you into your car seat.
You opened your eyes to see everybody waiting for you at home, including Uncle Mon-El and Auntie Imra with Uncle Winn. You ran up to Imra who easily lifted and hugged you, giving you sporadic kisses on your face.
“How about we go and have some fun inside? Maybe we can test out your flying!” She giggled with you.
Whilst everyone else went inside, Nia stopped Kara and Lena. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the bullying.”
They looked at each other before turning to her. “I dreamt about it last night when she was touching me. It was actually terrifying to watch her little mind dream that, let alone comprehend it. I know I’m not a mom, but I wouldn’t make her go back yet.”
“Can you show us the dream?” Kara pleaded, to which Nia took their hands and showed them.
It brought them to tears instantly.
“Oh, baby…” Lena whimpered, running inside to find you in your room.
“Mommy? Mama? What happened?” You asked quietly, watching them kneel in front of you before sweeping you off your feet into their arms.
“We are so sorry we didn’t see this earlier, inah.” Kara cooed, holding you tight but not too tight.
You felt those big emotions surface before tears began to run down your face, squirming further into Kara’s hold whilst Lena hugged your other side. “W-Want ev’ybody.” You muffled against Kara’s shirt.
“Yeah? Everybody?” She asked, to which you nodded.
“Hope?” Lena looked up at the ceiling.
“The members downstairs have been notified of Y/N’s request.” The AI replied.
Soon enough, they all piled in and looked down at your crying form. Nia was the first to start the group hug, with everyone piling on until you felt truly loved.
As they pulled apart, they all gave you an individual hug and some even said some encouraging words. But at the end of it, you turned to your Mama and Mommy and tackled them in a hug, making giggles spread through the room whilst you held them tightly.
I suck at waking up in the morning most of the time Lena has to wake me up because my alarm won't wake me up either she rips the cover off "y/nnnnnnn" she stretched your name out you groan and roll over and she yanks the cover off "lenaaa I'm cold."
or she lays on top of you (that's 1 of your favorites but she will never know) Lena walked in on you absolutely dead asleep she walked over and layed on top of you were on your stomach and her front was on your back she layed there a bit and was just enjoying the moment but then she blew in your ear you rolled over and knocked her off the bed and she screeched "y/n!" you sat up half asleep "yeah" you replied "oh my gosh get ready were about to go to work" she said "ok."
but this morning none of that worked so she tried something else and she though it was hilarious for some annoying reason, but you loved her laugh and her smile, so you were ok with that.
Lena walked in your guys room and you were asleep once again Lena wasn't surprised she walked over and yanked off your covers and layed beside you and called you name "y/n, y/n honey wake up sweetie" she raised her voice a bit higher "sweetie get up" she shook you and tried everything but it didn't work so she cradled you and put her hands on your stomach and tickled you everywhere you slowly woke up and started to smile and giggle "IM AWAKE" you said but she didn't stop "LENA OH MY GOSH" you laughed so hard your stomach was hurting you grabbed her arms and over so u were now on top and tickled her sides and she laughed and giggle but she reached behind her and grabbed a pillow and well you didn't see it she pulled it from behind her and smacked you in the face "AGH lenaaaa" you groaned and fell on the floor she was wheezing like dying of laughter "ok real funny lee" but secretly you were fine with falling on you ass as long as she was happy

Rain patters against the windows, the soft sound accompanied by the occasional crackle from the fire in the fireplace.
You move around the kitchen, putting lunch together as quietly as you can, until the clang of the pot against a pan cuts through the air.
You wince harshly, slowly looking over the island to the living room, your eyes landing on the woman napping on the couch a few feet away from you, glad to find she isn’t awake because you know she needs the sleep more than anything.
As the season changed you found yourself not as busy as you had been so you took a week off work, all work, and while you had planned to spend the week holed up in your apartment with wine and takeout your girlfriend had a much better idea.
She also gave herself the week off, figuring L-Corp would be fine without her for the time being, and insisted that you go with her on a break to her cabin.
Never one to turn down the adorable pleading eyes of Miss Lena Luthor, you agreed and in no time the two of you had your bags packed.
You weren’t surprised that your girlfriend had a cabin, nor were you surprised that it looked so beautiful. And you weren’t surprised that it turned out to be the most amazing week you’d ever had.
It was just the two of you, most nights spent by the fireplace in each other's arms. Throughout the day you both did a number of things.
Lena absolutely adored going to the farmers market, her eyes holding the most beautiful sparkle of happiness and slight amazement in her eyes. The whole place was majorly fall themed, not just all the things people were selling but also the tents and decorations they had up.
Another day you’d chosen to go to a cider mill, going on a hayride together then excitedly bringing apple cider and cinnamon donuts back to the cabin.
During the afternoons you made lunch at the cabin and ate outside, watching the leaves fall until the sun started to set.
Sadly your vacation is coming to an end, you’ll be heading home tomorrow morning. You both wanted to make the most of today, Lena’s version of that being to go find something to do outside of the cabin and your’s was to get all the sleep you won’t be getting when you get back to National City. All it took was some puppy dog eyes on your part for her to go along with your plan.
You still made it as special as possible, a special breakfast in bed, a walk on the trail that led to the lake. When you got back, Lena went to sleep on the couch. And now here you are.
Carefully carrying both cups over to the living room, you set them on the coffee table and sit on the couch beside Lena’s legs.
Ever so softly you rub her arm, slightly rocking her to rouse her from her sleep. She awakes with a quiet yawn, her body stretching out on the couch. The way her nose scrunched never ceased to make you smile, it’s far too cute.
“Good afternoon Miss Luthor.” You greet as her eyes land on you, smiling sweetly at her.
A sleepy smile takes over her lips and she places her hand over yours, gently squeezing it.“ Wait,” a frown replaces her smile and she sits up,“ it’s the afternoon?”
You nod,“ yep. Thought you were gonna sleep through the sunset.”
The brunette sits up, swinging her legs off the couch.“ Did I miss lunch as well?” She pouts(literally the cutest sight ever) and you chuckle.
“Nope, you didn’t. I made some soup, it should be done.”
“Then let me go freshen up quickly and we can have lunch.”
As Lena goes to the bathroom, you head to the kitchen. You fix up two bowls of the soup, setting them on a tray with cups of cider, napkins, and such.
When Lena returns, she’s snuggled up in your National City University sweatshirt, and you can’t help but smile at the sight. It was a decent size larger than her, not enough to engulf her completely but enough to have the sleeves coming about halfway down her hands.
She hands you one of your hoodies, knowing it’s a little chilly out, then the two of you go outside to have lunch.
Much like the past few days, you eat lunch and idly chat, laughter and small touches of affection exchanged between you. With lunch done, you set your bowls back on the tray and Lena happily turns on the bench, leaning her back against your front.
Your arms wrap securely around her midsection, chin resting on her shoulder as she kicks her feet up on the bench.
A beautiful array of orange, pink, and red paint the sky as the sun starts to go down.
Fingers lacing with yours, Lena hums quietly at the feeling of your lips on her neck. A big beautiful feeling stirs within the brunette and she turns her gaze from the sunset, looking over her shoulder at you.
“Thank you for coming up here with me.” Her voice is quiet, almost as if she’s scared that speaking louder will break the moment.
“You don’t have to thank me L, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”
She smiles teasingly,“ not even in bed back at your apartment?”
Laughing, you squeeze her gently.“ Not even there. Right here is perfect. I’ve loved every second of our time up here.” A beat passes then you say,“ almost as much as I love you.”
You feel the way she freezes in your arms.
Those words hadn’t been spoken between you two yet. Sure, they’ve been shown and expressed through actions but you hadn’t said it. Until now.
“I-” She sighs, soft and full of love, then says,“ I love you too.”
this is a request i had come through my dm’s (the request itself is pretty long so i won’t post it but thank you SO much to the person who sent it through.) I hope you like it!

Lena had just got home from a long day of work. She had a board meeting with some potential investors that went terribly and all she wanted was to eat dinner with her little one and go to sleep.
She picked you up from Kara’s, who’d happily agreed to watch you after school. Usually, you would go hang out in your Mom’s office, but Lena’s meetings just were never ending today so she panic-called Kara during her short lunch break.
“What do you feel like for dinner munchkin?” You shrugged your shoulders, watching as your mom kicked off her heels and dropped her bag by the front door.
“Well, I think we have some leftover pasta from last night, you good with that y/n?” You nodded, skipping down to your room to get changed. Lena smiled at the sight before going to do so herself.
When you heard your mom past, you poked your head out of your room and scurried back to the entryway where she left her bag. You quickly dug her purse out and pulled out some bills, not taking a moment to look at what they were valued.
“Y/n Elizabeth Luthor.” Your eyes went wide as you spun around to see your mom, her arms crossed, her eyebrow cocked. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“I- I-” You stuttered, feeling your face flush warm with embarrassment.
“You what, y/n? you thought you could go to my bag and take money out of my purse and I’d be none the wiser? Y/n, you know better than to betray my trust like that,” Lena could feel herself losing her temper, something she never does with you. She turns around, trying to collect herself until she feels a pair of small arms wrap around her waist.
“Mommy, mommy ‘m sorry!! ‘m s-sorry mommy!” Lena forgets her emotions and turns around to hold your distraught face in her hands.
“Hey, hey, c’mon. Let’s take some deep breaths together, okay?” You followed her lead and soon stopped sobbing, though your tears still ran down your cheeks.
Lena grabbed your hand and lead you to the couch, sitting you down opposite her.
“I just wanted to buy you a birthday present…” You mumbled softly,
“Can you speak up please, y/n?” You looked up, surprised to see that your Mom no longer looked angry.
“I just, I wanted to buy you a birthday present. I’ve been saving up my pocket money but I was a dollar or two short and I just was gonna take it and – and put it back when I could. ‘m sorry mommy.” Lena’s heart sank.
“Oh sweetheart.” She pulled you into her as you dissolved into tears again. She smoothed back your hair, kissing you gently on your forehead.
“I – I knew it was wrong, I just, wanted to d-do something nice for you and didn’t know h-how and -”
Lena shushed you and pulled your small frame onto her lap, rocking you slightly back and forth.
“’m a bad kid. My parents left, they, they would be so disappointed in me.” You wailed against Lena’s chest.
Her heart broke, “Y/n, hey, hey. We don’t talk about ourselves like that, hm? You are a smart, sweet, wonderful little girl.” She kissed you on your hair, “And your parents are so proud of you. They watch over you every day, darling.”
You sniffed and wiped your face, “really?”
Lena nodded and reached over to pull some tissues from the side table before cleaning your face, fixing your haphazard job. “Really, y/n.”
“Sweetheart, I’m sorry I overreacted before knowing what was going on. Mommy can be wrong sometimes too and I promise to try and understand what is happening before I react.”
“’s okay mommy.”
“And, you know you can ask me for anything you need – or you can go to Aunt Kara or Aunt Alex. I’m sure they would’ve been happy to help you out with a dollar or two.” She smiles softly, rubbing your cheek with her finger until you do the same.
“You are my biggest gift, y/n. I couldn’t want anything else. Being your mommy is my favourite job.” You smile brightly at that.
“Being your daughter is MY favourite job.” You giggle as she tickles your sides before pulling you closer. Both of you relishing in the warmth and comfort.
