Supercorp AU: no powers. Tumblr Friends/Secret Celebrity AU
Lena and Kara meet as Tumblr friends in middle school, just before the accident that kills Kara’s parents. They stay devoted internet pen pals through college when Lena invites Kara to Metropolis.
Only, Lena has been keeping kind of a big secret.
Lena Luthor is a wunderkid tech genius heiress who has been making talk show appearances since she was 16. With her brother Lex, they are using their century old family technology firm to develop new advancements and revolutionize the field of computing and bioengineering.
Kara has a huge crush on Lena Luthor, a fact Lena, her friend not the celebrity, loves to tease her about. Once Kara considered if her Lena and Lena Luthor could be the same person…but that would be ridiculous. Sure they are around the same age and both brunette, but Kara’s Lena studied engineering at a school outside of Boston, but like…not MIT. And just…her Lena is soft? She’s not the debonair heiress that drives Bugattis on sports tracks at charity races. She’s just…a girl Kara flirts with sometimes who wears thick glasses and messy buns and read Russian classics. She is Kara’s best friend.
Kara’s Lena invites her to Metropolis for a week after they graduate college. Lena explains she has big girl money and wants nothing more than to spend it on finally meeting Kara.
Kara insists she can buy her own plane ticket, but still agrees. Meeting Lena, well that would be everything. Lena is the only person who knows all of her. Who knew her before the accident and stayed her friend. Frankly, Kara has sometimes thought about moving to Metropolis…just to risk running into. So she could introduce herself. Irl. And ask out Lena.
When Kara lands in Metropolis she messages Lena. And the woman sends a thumbs up. But just as Kara steps off the plane, a man in a suit escorts her to a private corridor. Kara has no idea what is happening until she is lead to a door. The man gesture for her to enter. When she does she sees floor to ceiling windows overlooking a runway. Four leather chairs look out, further down the room extends opening into a small library and kitchen.
Kara clears her throat, and one of the chairs turns. To the utter shock of Kara Danvers Lena from Tumblr is not there, in her place is a young woman with a slicked back pony tail and an Armani suit. She is wearing killer heels. And the. Something happens that changes Kara’s entire life, the woman—Lena Luthor—reaches into her breast pocket and pulls out a pair of thick glasses. She places them on her nose.
“Please, I am so sorry. But please don’t be angry,” Lena says.
Kara can’t quite handle what is happening: the two Lena’s: her ultimate crush and most intimate home collide and fuse and resonate and dissolve until all that she can do is ask:
“Am I under arrest?” Which she realizes was the wrong thing to say.
“No, I, Kara, Darling, welcome to the private Luthor Family lounge at Metropolis International. I said I would pick you up, but I thought you might enjoy a snack and a private restroom before the car. The ride to my penthouse will be an hour this time of day.”
“Oh wait, so Lena, you like, this is actually happening.”
Here Lena Luthor smiles and Kara Danvers. And in the way her teeth appear and then the pink gum, the way the smile grows, overtaking her face and infecting her eyes Kara can see: oh this is her Lena.
“Lena Luthor is my best friend. Holy shit,” Kara says.
