luthor
It started off as simply not knowing her first name. Lena had come into the shelter one day to adopt the dog that had been in the shelter the longest. He was an older beagle, around eight or nine years old with a couple different medical conditions that made him seem “undesirable”. When Lena had walked in and demanded to see the dog that had been there the longest, Kara had been shocked. Nonetheless, she showed the girl the dog, and Kara could tell they had an immediate connection. Kara had been even more shocked when the woman had asked to adopt him. And absolutely stunned, that even when she explained the medical conditions and the medication, that this woman still wanted Cooper. Kara was thrilled that Cooper had found a furever home, she had been volunteering at the shelter for over two years and he had been these from before she even started. She was thankful they were a no kill shelter, because this poor baby truly didn’t deserve to spend the rest of his days in a crate. The shelter did the best they could, daily walks and time outside, foster homes, etc, however Cooper, because of his health issues, always had trouble finding a home that fit. So when the woman had insisted on taking her new buddy home, Kara didn’t have the heart (or right) to say no. While she was sad to see him go, she was so happy at the same time. They went through the legalities and technicalities, and in the end Cooper went home with a loving woman. Kara was just a little upset that she wouldn’t see Cooper again. Until she did.
The next time she saw him she had been walking to a cafe, and happened to cut through the dog park when she saw the familiar face. The dogs, not Luthor’s of course, or so Kara says. She stopped by with a tap on the shoulder and told the woman that she had recognised them from the shelter. She was able to say hello to the happy puppy before she was on her way.
And then it happened again. And Kara swears it was an accident, that she was simply passing through the park on her way to work, and happened to see them again. She stopped by with another tap on the shoulder, had a chit chat with ‘Luthor’, gave a quick pet to Cooper and then she left, coincidentally leaving the same way she came.
By the third time, Kara spotted Luthor and Cooper from the other side of the park and called out, ”Hey, Luthor!” which grabbed the woman's attention.
Kara had jogged over, and the first thing Luthor had said was, “Just go on a date with me already,” in a cute way as her face flushed, realising what she had just said. Kara had thrown her head back and laughed, before agreeing. They swapped phone numbers, Lena being put into Kara’s phone as “Luthor”. They walked around the park a bit, throwing a stick for Cooper every once and awhile as they talked about their days.
Four days later on their first date, as they were waiting for their dessert (on which Kara had insisted on, who skips dessert?) Kara had blurted out, “So do you have a first name, or should I keep calling you Luthor?” to which Lena simply smirked at and took a sip of her wine, before Kara quickly became distracted with the dessert coming their way.
On the fourth date, Lena had invited Kara up to her penthouse after dinner and a movie. Things got heated between the two of them, and as Kara and Lena had been sat on Lena’s sofa, coincidentally making out, they grew closer and Lena had been teasing Kara with small kisses along her jawline for what, seemed like forever to Kara, but in reality had been only a couple minutes. When Lena pulled away for a well needed breather, Kara had whined, “Nooo, Luthor,” she pouted, “come back.”
Lena smirked at her (now official) girlfriend “Lena. Lena Luthor,” she introduced herself, causing Kara to smile widely.
“It’s about time, Lena Luthor,” she husked, pulling the woman in closer.
