Summary
Five years after their off-beat Broadway production, The Absolute Earth Experience!, became an international sensation, Lena is pulled back into its orbit for a charity revival - with all the original cast. Including Kara Danvers, an actress-turned-singer, who Lena hasn't seen since she left.

"I guess we never expected some weird little story about a girl from Earth and a girl from space falling in love to be such a cult hit, but when they brought Cat on stage... I think that’s the first time any of us realised we were a part of something amazing.” It’s just a variation of a speech she’s given before, at the Tony Awards and on the promotional circuit, but each time, it still takes her back – the four of them so young and inexperienced, stumbling their way through the role of a lifetime. She doesn’t say to the interviewer, those were the best years of my life. But she still thinks it.

Summary
The jury summons arrives on a Friday.
“You have to get yourself disqualified,” Alex says.
Kara frowns. “What about my civic duty?”
Her sister ignores her. She’s on her phone, already finding her an out. “Your occupation should qualify you for an exemption,” she discovers. “It says here, if you’re full-time military, or a firefighter, or a cop—”
Kara holds the letter up for Alex to read. “They didn’t summon Supergirl,” she says. “They summoned Kara Danvers, freelance food critic and full-time reporter.”
-
In which no one escapes jury duty, not even superheroes and celebrity CEOs, and when Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor end up in sequestration, well—the defense submits that there's more than one type of civic service.

Summary
When later asked, Kara will vehemently insist that she is not, nor has she ever been, a sugar baby.
She just happens to be in the position to accept extravagant gifts and money from a wealthy CEO in exchange for certain acts of physical and emotional intimacy. But! That does not make her a sugar baby, okay? It makes her a friend. A great one, actually, and the only one Lena Luthor has likely ever had.

Summary
"And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.
"Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "
"Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.

How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

Summary
“Lena Luthor, right?” Kara says and Lena’s lips thin. Her ego scoffs at the idea that Kara doesn’t know who she is. Besides having had a class together every semester since freshman year, Lena’s a fairly known entity on campus if only because of her family, just the same as Kara and her goon teammates are well-known.
“I see your reading skills are intact. Nice to meet you,” she says sarcastically.
The tragic, amusing, altogether shocking story of how Lena Luthor agrees to tutor an idiot hockey player and, somehow, ends up with a fake girlfriend.

Summary
"Lena," Kara asks, "what are you to me?"
Lena's heartbeat stutters. "You—you said there was no memory loss," she stammers. "Kara, what—what happened?"
"I absorbed my sun," Kara tells her calmly. "I became a God."
(In which Kara becomes a deity of protection, and it complicates things just a little. Featuring: a determined big sister, an endlessly supportive love interest, and some dad advice.)
