Chapter Text
Willena or Willena not?
Things were finally looking good for Lena Luthor.
She had taken Luthorcorp back and renamed it L-Corp again.
Her brother was taken care of, once and for all.
There was no coming back this time.
No chance of a random Monitor showing up to turn her brother into a zombie again.
Lena had burned Lex’s body and Kara had yeeted his remains out in space.
Yes, Kara.
They were finally friends again.
Lena had never felt so certain about her friend before.
They were closer than ever.
No more secrets.
Lena had offered a lab for the Superfriends to operate from since the Tower didn’t provide in medical equipment, cells for their enemies and technical treasures for Brainy to work his magic on.
The Tower was impractical.
Nobody dared to tell J’onn, he was so proud of his Tower.
They did their meetings in the Tower and drank thee, but the villain fighting happened from Lena’s lab.
She had become a valuable member of the Supers.
Alex was even training her in combat.
With her fencing skills, she already knew how to work some weapons.
-------------------------------------------
“Your appointment with CatCo magazine is waiting, miss Luthor.” Her assistant announced.
“Yes Eve, send her in.”
Eve hesitated before answering, “Yes, miss Luthor. I’ll send him in.”
Lena didn’t quite register what Eve said.
She was looking forward to a friendly face to distract her from the powerplay she had been facing all day with misogynistic men.
When she heard the door open, the corners of her mouth curled up as a Pavloff effect.
“Good afternoon, miss Luthor.” His perfect British accent caught her off guard.
She was expecting Kara to interview her about the rebranding of L-Corp.
Lena and Kara both knew they already had this interview a long time ago, but Prime Earth didn’t know that.
Her smile disappeared as she had to pull herself together.
“I am sorry. I expected to see miss Danvers.” She admitted.
“Miss Danvers was needed elsewhere. I can assure you: I am just as capable as miss Danvers.” His upbeat energy made Lena’s smile reappear like magic.
“I’m sure you are, mister…” she smirked.
“Dey. William Dey. It is my pleasure to meet you, miss Luthor.” He held out his hand to shake hers.
She was tempted to say: ‘The pleasure is all mine,’ while eying him up and down.
He was a real sight for sour eyes.
Tall, tanned and handsome.
His hand was strong but soft at the same time.
“We have met before.” Lena said, remembering how Supergirl tore his shirt open to reveal his ripped torso.
She bit her lower lip and inhaled sharply through her nose at the memory.
Lena had this thing for ripped tall men with gunshot wounds.
“Yes, when you and Supergirl saved me from… your assistant?” he frowned his brows and gave her a confused smile.
Lena chuckled, “Yes. She is an extraordinary assistant, very capable of her job. She was the right person at the wrong place and time. I believe everybody deserves a second chance.”
It was her newfound wisdom from her second chance at friendship with Kara.
William treated her with a wide genuine smile.
His smile was so bright, Lena was sure he could melt the coldest of hearts.
She had to shake herself from staring at him.
“I’m sorry. Have a seat.” She gestured at the seat on the other side of the desk.
It wasn’t common for her to offer a reporter a seat, except for Kara, it was a power move she used to keep them at a save emotional distance.
William was different. He seemed kind and professional and he was hot.
Lena was still a woman with needs, she could be as weak for a man like any other woman… who was into men.
The interview was like a nice, informal conversation. It was dangerous grounds for Lena to be at with a reporter other than Kara. Kara would always do her justice, she knew her, but this man was new.
He was charming. She charmed him back.
She caught herself flirting with him.
Maybe she was going too far.
William and Kara had been dating.
Kara told Lena, she didn’t like him the way he liked her and they didn’t work out.
But that didn’t mean he was over her.
She was so mesmerized by his charm, she had to take her chance.
“Miss Luthor, your next appointment is in five minutes.” Eve interrupted through the intercom.
“Thank you, Miss Tessmacher.” She responded.
“Thank you very much for this lovely interview, miss Luthor. It has been nice meeting you.” He smiled.
Gosh, he made her insides flutter. Butterflies were dancing inside her like she was a teenager again.
“Likewise.” She beamed.
He nodded at her and turned on his heels.
“Mr. Dey?” Lena took her leap of faith, “I know this is highly inappropriate…” she walked around her desk to have no objects stand between the two of them, “Maybe we could have a follow-up interview, tonight at Noonan’s?” she cursed herself for lacking any form of subtlety.
He chuckled, oh gosh he was cute when he chuckled, “Do I need to bring my notepad?” he asked.
Lena could feel a blush rise while her fingers were nervously fiddling. She bashfully shook her head.
“In that case… I would love to.” a blush seemed to appear on his cheeks.
When he closed the door behind him, Lena did her secret victory dance nobody knew of.
‘He would love to.’ Was what he said, ‘love’.
Lena took a deep breath.
She wondered if she could ever get that goofy grin off her face.
---------------------------------------------
Lena went home earlier than usual to freshen up for her next meeting with William Dey.
She changed into a low-cut dress, showing off her cleavage. She was well aware of her best assets as Kara often lost her eyeballs in them. It made Lena chuckle to think of the way Kara’s eyes could pop when she wore something that showed off her breasts.
Sometimes she wondered if Kara was even straight at all.
She shook that thought out of her head.
Lena had considered texting Kara to check if she was okay with her dating William, but she remembered Kara was still on a mission, which was also the reason why she didn’t interview Lena today.
Besides… Kara was very clear about not having any feelings at all for William.
She told Lena her heart was beating for somebody else.
Lena had tried to pull a name out of her, but Kara didn’t give in.
One of these days she would tell her, Lena was sure of it.
------------------------------------------------
William was already there when Lena arrived. He was dressed casually formal.
Lena took her moment to admire him from afar. She watched him talking animated with the barman, they laughed together about a joke William made.
The barman noticed Lena first and gave her an appreciative nod. William followed his eye side and his gaze landed on Lena.
He visually gasped, which made Lena feel good about herself.
William stumbled off his barstool in his attempt to get to her as quick as possible.
“Ms. Luthor… You look… Stunning.” His eyes went up and down her body. Not in a creepy way, like she is used to from her business associates. More in admiration… the same way Kara looks at her.
It is a familiar look that made Lena feel strong and confident. The twinkle in his eyes flattered her.
“Please call me Lena.” She insisted.
“Well, Lena. May I guide you to our table?” he offered her an arm.
She couldn’t say no to those strong and muscular arms. Lena was weak for a strong, muscular body.
Without any hesitation, she hooked her arm in his.
The evening went by in a heartbeat.
Every hour seemed like just a minute; the time flew by so fast.
William proved to be respectful gentleman.
He insisted on paying the bill, brought her home, thanked her for the lovely evening and was willing to watch Lena until she was safe inside.
This was a huge turn-on for Lena.
Taking someone home at the first date was something the classy Luthor had never done.
Until now.
William was the only exception.
-------------------------------------------------
It took her almost two weeks until she could finally talk to Kara again.
In the meantime, she and William had met a couple of times.
“I’m glad you could make it.” Happy to see her, Lena hugged Kara tight.
Kara giggled, “I’m happy to see you. Sorry, it took so long.” She apologized.
Lena wove it off, “It happens. The world doesn’t save itself.” she joked.
Halfway their lunch, Lena had gathered enough courage to tell Kara about her and William.
Kara was speechless at first.
She broke their eye contact and was suddenly very interested in the food on her plate.
“Oh… that is cool.” She played with her food and took an awful lot of time chewing in comparison to the inhaling of food she was known for.
Her reaction worried Lena, “Kara? I… I thought you said you were over him. I’m sorry if… I mean… I could still break it off.” Her friendship with Kara was worth more than anything, even more than a possible relationship with William.
“You would?” hopeful eyes looked up at her, “I mean… no. No! Does he make you happy?” she was suddenly demanding in her tone.
“He does, but that doesn’t mean-”
“Than you are going to be with him and he is going to make you happy.” She pointed her fork at Lena in a threatening manner.
Lena was confused by her friend’s reaction.
Kara swallowed thick, “Promise me something…”
Lena nodded, “Anything.”
“If he ever treats you less than the beautiful Angel you are, you tell me.” Her eyes pierced into Lena’s soul.
Was she threatening William? Beautiful Angel? What was going on with her.
“Promise me, Lena. Promise me you will tell me.” Kara begged.
Lena sighed and produced a warm smile.
She placed her hand over Kara’s clenched fist to calm her down, “Always.”
“Good.” Kara nodded.
“How… how has he been with you? I mean… does he treat you well?” she carefully asked.
“He has been nothing but a real gentleman with me… Kara, has he ever treated you badly?” Lena couldn’t help but wonder. Kara’s reaction was out of proportion.
She shook her head.
“He has always been nice to me… Oh, can you bring me some of his baked stuff from time to time? He makes the nicest things and you wouldn’t appreciate them as much as I do anyway.” She lightened the mood.
Kara made Lena laugh again.
------------------------------------------------
William and Lena had bought a penthouse together. A home for the two of them.
It had been over a year since their first date.
Kara was a big help with moving, especially when William was not around.
They had decided to keep Kara’s secret identity from him.
Lena had noticed her friendship with Kara had changed.
She was more distant, especially when the conversation was about Lena’s fiancé or whenever he was around.
When it was just the two of them, they could slip back into their old hugging and giggling habits.
Kara reacted so poorly when William had popped Lena the question.
Kara was the first one Lena shared the news with.
She had been so happy.
Her joy was infectious to Kara, she beamed at the sight of Lena.
But when she showed her the ring, she got cold.
She faked an emergency and flew off.
It took a full week before Kara contacted her to congratulate her.
Lena was disappointed in Kara and lashed out.
Kara was like a sister to her.
She was the closest thing to family she had.
She needed somebody to be happy for her.
But Kara was not that person.
Kara apologized for her petty behaviour.
They talked.
Kara was happy for Lena.
She was envious.
She also wanted her love, but her love didn’t see her.
“That is ridiculous Kara. Anybody would be lucky to have you.” Lena ensured her.
“You think so?” Kara’s eyes were filled with tears.
Lena cupped Kara’s face, “I am sure of it. You are funny, beautiful, lovely, kind, strong, smart, and a great reporter. And you know I can’t resist a good reporter.” Lena joked.
She wiped away Kara’s tears with her thumbs.
How could she have missed all the signs of Kara’s broken heart?
Has she been too occupied with William to notice the sorrow of her best friend?
Kara leaned into Lena’s touch.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you Kara.” Lena pulled Kara in for a comforting embrace.
She could feel Kara sink into her.
It always made Lena feel special and warm to have Kara this close to her.
“Why don’t you invite your mystery man as a plus one to our wedding?” Lena tried to cheer her up.
“I don’t think my mystery love would want to go as my plus one to your wedding, Lee.” Kara scrunched her nose.
“So, little confidence.” Lena tucked a straw of hair behind Kara’s ear, “Gosh, you are so beautiful.” She whispered encouraging.
Kara’s face turned red as she smiled at the compliment.
------------------------------------------------
Kara helped to put Lena in her wedding dress.
Her fingers were trembling.
“Kara… You realize I am the one who is supposed to be nervous right?” she joked.
“Are you?” Kara asked Lena as she was wrapping her in her corset.
“Are you kidding me? I am marrying the most wonderful man on earth. He is so perfect for me. He can always make me smile. His enthusiasm always provides me with more energy. And his staminaaaAAAAAH” she screamed as Kara pressed the air out of her lungs by tightened her corset with too much force.
“Oh Rao, I’m sorry!” she quickly loosened the corset.
“Not everybody is made of Steel, Supergirl,” Lena grunted in pain.
Kara did a quick x-ray scan, “Nothing broken.” She ensured Lena.
“Well, that is reassuring,” Lena smirked at her.
The girls had a half-hour left before Kara would walk Lena down the aisle.
Nobody was as close to Lena as Kara.
Kara was the only choice for Lena, her best friend had to be the one to give her away.
She was also her maid of honor.
“Kara…” she searched for the sapphire blue eyes of her friend.
She took her hands in hers, “Thank you for being my everything.” Lena had to let Kara know how important she was to her.
She placed her left hand to the side of Kara’s face and kissed her cheek.
“I’m happy to have you in my life.” She whispered as she lingered her lips above Kara’s skin.
Kara turned her head slowly.
She crashed her lips into Lena’s.
The connection came as a surprise to Lena.
Kara’s lips were soft and welcome.
It didn’t feel strange to kiss her best friend like this.
It was loving and caring.
Inevitable.
Lena could feel Kara’s tongue against her lips.
She opened her mouth to let her in.
Their tongues danced together as they had never done anything else.
It was right in the wrong kind of way and wrong in all the right ways.
Kissing her was passionate.
It was like pure love run through her body.
Kara’s arms wrapped themselves around her.
Lena had no choice but to let herself get lost in this moment.
This had to happen.
The sound of the wedding bells struck them like thunder on a clear day.
They broke apart panting.
Two pair of eyes panicked, searching for clarity with the other.
Sapphire blue and forest green attracted each other like magnets.
This was the moment her groom was waiting in front of the altar.
“You don’t have to do this, Lena. Runaway with me. I can fly us off. Fly with me into the sunset.” Kara proposed.
“It's you, Lee. It has always been you. You are my love. You are my everything.” She confessed with teary eyes.
Lena had to think quick.
She crashed into Kara and held on for dear life.
“I love you, Kara! I really do. I don’t know what I would do without you.” She put a little distance between them to cup her face and put their foreheads together.
“I can’t lose you, Kara. Stay with me. Please.”
Kara nodded.
Lena swallowed a lump in her throat as she took Kara’s hands in hers, “I love you… But I love him too. Please, Kara…” she put her hands to her chin and kissed Kara’s fingers.
“Will you walk me down the aisle?”
