Chapter 3
Kara Danvers was not going to let this stand.
Oh, no.
Lena Luthor thought she had won.
Thought she could turn the tables.
Thought she could outplay Kara.
But Kara Danvers?
Kara never backed down from a challenge.
And this?
This was war.
Yes it was childish, stupid and everything but she didn't care.
---
The next morning, Lena walked into her office at L-Corp, feeling victorious.
She had put Kara in her place.
Or so she thought.
Because when she sat at her desk, she noticed something.
A folder.
A folder that definitely wasn’t there yesterday.
Frowning, she opened it—
And froze.
Because inside?
Inside were dozens of professionally printed photos.
Of her.
Taken in the most ridiculous, absurd, and compromising moments.
Lena choked.
There was one of her mid-sneeze.
One of her tripping over her own feet.
One where she was unconsciously pouting while reviewing a contract.
And the worst?
One where she was fast asleep on her couch, curled around a stuffed penguin Kara had won her at a carnival.
Lena’s jaw dropped.
At the bottom of the folder, there was a note.
"Lena ‘baby’ Luthor – A Compilation of My Favorite Moments.
With Love, Mommy ❤️”
Lena nearly flipped her desk and growled.
She whipped out her phone, immediately calling Kara.
How dare she?
She was Lena Luthor!
The second Kara picked up, Lena hissed, "Kara Danvers, what have you done?"
"Oh," Kara said, innocently. "Did you like my little gift, baby girl?"
"You—" Lena clenched her jaw. "Where did you even get these?"
Kara laughed. "Oh, Lena. Sweet, naive Lena. I work at CatCo. Do you think I don’t have connections? Also I am Supergirl and I live with you."
Lena swore.
"Kara, I swear, if one of these ever leaks—"
"Relax," Kara said, smugly. "These are just for me. My own little collection of 'Adorable Luthors in the Wild.'"
Lena gritted her teeth. "I will destroy you."
"Oh?" Kara teased. "What exactly will you do, baby girl?"
Lena saw red.
"That’s it."
She hung up.
And marched straight to CatCo.
---
Lena stormed into CatCo’s bullpen.
Everyone immediately cleared a path.
Because when Lena Luthor looked that determined?
It was best to stay out of her way.
She spotted Kara at her desk, typing away.
Kara looked up—
And grinned.
"Oh, hi, baby—"
Lena cut her off by grabbing Kara’s collar and yanking her up.
"You think you’re so clever, don’t you?"
Kara’s smirk widened. "Oh, Lena. I don’t think. I know."
Lena narrowed her eyes. "You have no idea what you’ve just started, Danvers."
"Oh?" Kara tilted her head. "Are you declaring war, Ms. Luthor?"
"I am."
"Good," Kara whispered. "Because I already won."
Lena gaped. "Excuse me?"
Kara leaned in, whispering right against Lena’s ear.
"Check your phone."
Lena frowned.
Slowly, she pulled out her phone and—
Her entire lock screen had been changed.
To a picture of her sleeping.
Clutching the penguin.
With the words ‘Sweet Baby Girl’ in pink cursive across the top.
Lena malfunctioned.
Kara grinned like a demon.
"I win," Kara murmured.
Lena stared.
And then—
She kissed Kara.
Right there.
In the middle of CatCo.
With everyone watching.
And when she pulled away, she smirked.
"No, Mommy."
"I win."
Kara gasped.
And CatCo exploded.
"DID SHE JUST—?!"
"OH MY GOD, LENA LUTHOR JUST CALLED KARA—?!"
"I CAN’T BREATHE—"
Kara turned red.
Lena walked away victorious.
But the war?
Oh.
The war was just getting started.
