Ferrari (S2 meet-cute, inspo)
“Jesus christ,” Alex’s disbelieving voice said over the earpiece.
“What is it?” Kara said, giving the hellgrammite one last kick in the head for good measure. “Is there another one?”
“No,” Alex muttered, “But fuck, Kara, you bashed a Ferrari.”
“Oh,” Kara said, turning behind her, frowning at the sight of the crumpled platinum convertible. “Well, public safety comes first.”
“Thanks for the paperwork,” Alex said, “Let’s hope whatever rich son of a bitch-”
But Kara turned back towards the car and the skyscraper, her ears picking up on the murmurs of passersby who had gathered during the attack. “Is that her?” and “holy shit” they whispered, as Kara caught the sight of a woman exiting the building.
An utterly gorgeous woman.
Kara felt a flush grow on her face as the woman took pause, glancing down at her car, expression carefully blank and hidden behind wide sunglasses. Oh Rao, I had to ruin some pretty lady’s car, Kara thought, feeling a sinking pit in her stomach.
The woman looked up, seeming to gaze at Kara - before her eyes darted to the side again where the hellgrammite still lay unconscious, then back to Kara. With a sigh, the woman stepped to her left, passing behind the wrecked Ferrari and walking straight towards her. Oh Rao oh Rao oh Rao-
The woman reached her quickly, halting in front of Kara from her position in the street. Kara swallowed, watching as the woman’s lips quirked slightly. “I suppose you’re entitled to some revenge,” the woman murmured, her lilting voice making Kara feel like melting, “But I’m surprised you would direct it at a beautiful Italian vehicle.”
Beautiful? You’re beaut- wait. “Revenge?” Kara squeaked.
“My brother, your cousin,” the woman gestured loftily.
“Your brother,” Kara sputtered, “Wait, you’re-”
“Lena Luthor,” the woman said.
Oh shoot, Kara thought, still shocked as Lena reached for her sunglasses, pulling them off to reveal stunning green eyes. I hope she’s evil, otherwise this is a diplomatic nightmare, Kara thought, straightening up for some damage control. “Miss Luthor, I am so sorry-”
“It’s alright, Supergirl,” Lena said, glancing up to Kara again, “I took out extra insurance before moving to this city.”
“Moving?” Kara asked, “You live here?”
“I do now,” Lena said, and that’s when Kara saw it - the slightest fault in Lena’s haughty demeanor, the nervousness behind the mask, “I’ve actually been hoping to meet you. I’m taking over LuthorCorp. To make it a force for good.”
A force for good, Kara thought, wonder flitting past her mind. Was this a trap?
Or the start of something better? “I think that’s a wonderful idea, Miss Luthor.”
“I could use your help,” Lena said honestly, “Maybe we could discuss over coffee?”
“I’d like that,” Kara smiled.
“Good,” Lena said, raising her sunglasses again to her face. Kara watched as the woman turned, making her way back to the sidewalk. This is going to get interesting, Kara thought.
Lena hesitated once more, turning her head over her shoulder. “Oh, and Supergirl?”
“I trust you’ll be able to handle the shipment of the replacement Ferrari?”
A small smile flickered to Kara’s lips. She could recognize a powerplay when she saw one. Well, I did ruin her car, Kara thought, I’ll give her the win on this one. “Of course.”
