Lex Luthor X reader. Like reader is a sweetheart, she doesn't actually realise what he is doing until she sees Superman
Lex luthor x sweetheart!y/n
yandere themes.
General secretary of the UN, Billionaire, Scientist, Philanthropist, Ceo of a megacompany and a very handsome charismatic man - you thought you hit the jackpot and got a unicorn( except the hair)
He was just so smooth with his words, " You work yourself too hard sweetheart, let me treat you right" he'd say or " Say the word and its yours. Afterall you give me everything I could ever want by being by my side darling" . Its hard not to fall for lex luthor once he sets his sights on you.
And when you see him in his elements, with his wit and sly charm, it could disable countries (literally has). But after a long day of doing stuff you couldn't even keep track of, here he was with you. Raw and relaxed, no facade when it comes to you. Except..well the fact that he is a murderer and a plotter - an evil mastermind. He was a mastermind, you knew that. But he'd twist his words and you'd believe he was doing it for good.
He did always have a way with words. And there is no way he was gonna let his sweetheart, his lover , the only kind loving thing in his life leave him. He thrived on your adoration, the little gleam you were proud and how you'd kiss him on his cheek while grinning when he said something particularly smart.
He had everything planned, you would never find out. He'd marry you, have mastermind kids and keep you with him forever. He had, however not planned for you to see his plans with superman. That was something he could not twist , could not make seem good intentioned.
" You want to kill superman?" "Darling you misunderstand, Im offended you would suggest something this outrageous" 'I SAW THE PLANS LUTHOR, I SAW IT ALL. HOW COULD YOU" "he is evil, superman is too powerful the plan is a "just in case"" "NO STOP LYING TO ME, I SAW THE DATE I SAW THE DETAILS STOP LYING" "y/n listen to me, you are blowing this out of proportion-"" MY FIANCE IS A MURDERER AND IM BLOWING IT OUT OF PROPORTION. I'm leaving luthor..I'm leaving"
As soon as you turn around and wipe the tears from your eyes, luthor is behind you and inject you with a sleep medication.
You don't get to leave, you'll understand..with time at least. He'll make sure of it.

The Intern: Outreach Gala
Another uneventful day for Gotham's environmental intern...
Prequel: Death of a family
The Intern: Day one
The Intern: The Laughing Fish
The Intern: Busy Work
The Intern: Outreach Gala
The Intern: Visiting an old friend
The Intern: Chemical Valley
The Intern: Billionaire Boys Club
Tumblr media
Gotham's public library appears unrecognizable under the cloak of night. Broad leaves shroud the outside exterior of the Gothic pillars while ivy cascades down the large door frames. Harris raises an eyebrow.
"How many forests do you think Wayne destroyed in his quest to save the planet?" He questions with a smirk.
Each grey hair is perfectly gelled out of his face. Ditching his glasses for the occasion, Dr. Harris may actually care about tonight's guests. The bouncer outside the door seemed to think the dress code was not a laughing matter.
Taking his extended arm, I roll my eyes. The security guy nods to the two of us as we walk through the door.
"Professor, if you keep saying things like that Gordon's going to question your stances on Gotham's resident Eco-terrorist. " I whisper with a smile. "....but at least 12."
Thanks to the joint collaboration between Wayne Industries, Goth-corp, and the Gotham Department of Environmental Protection. Gotham City is hosting its first Environmental Outreach Gala for the nearby tri-state area. Unfortunately for me, they saddled the newest intern to do all the heavy lifting. Young joints and all that jazz. At least I got an invite. The invites ran out before the IT guy could get one. Poor Eddie.
My heart flutters a little bit as a realization hits me. Iโ€™m actually hereโ€ฆ surrounded by giants in clean energy and the scientific community alike. Award-winning journalists... All for the future of our planet. Passing my reflection, I smile thinking of how far Iโ€™ve come from that little river rat back at home.
A figure in the corner of my eye draws my thoughts away from the Grandma debrief. Dick Grayson, the Billionaireโ€™s son, charms the group of ladies by his side. I take a mental note to find time to talk to him when there isnโ€™t such a big crowd. It's been a long time since we last spoke.
The walls echo with the idle chatter coming from the rich socialites of Gotham. Waiters in tuxedos maneuver silently with a tray of champagne flutes in each hand. Considering, that most environmental professionals wear cargo pants from the early 2000s to work... the dress code was definitely a choice. I scan the room for familiar faces. Gordon flashes me a smile from across the room. I nod back. The Mayor works his way around the room with a large smile. It must be an election year.
My throat gets tight. I'm not ready for this. Looking to my right, I find that Dr. Harris has vanished into the crowd.
"Y/N L/N?" A voice calls distracting me from my nerves.
A well-dressed man strolls over. Something about him puts me on edge. Maybe it's his wicked smile or the large emerald ring on his outstretched hand. He walks with an easy air of confidence.
"Lex Luthor."
My heart does a little tap dance in my chest. The tight fabric of my rental dress makes it hard to breathe. I shake his hand politely. The party-goers go quiet around us. From the corner of my eye, Lois Lane, an investigative reporter from Metropolis, shoves through the crowd. So much for being a fly on the wall.
"I recently worked with a Professor of yours. She had a lot to say about your graduate proposal."
This cannot be happening. Memories of those long fights in the lab flash in the back of my mind. Mr. Luthor's cat-like gaze observes my reaction curiously.
I cover my face in embarrassment. That woman deserves hate mail. I could have at least been asked to type or spell-check it beforehand.
"To be frank, I originally chose the topic to get a rise outta her. Dr. Hendrix had me doing dishes for 3 weeks straight after I accidentally messed up a sample, so I wrote a proposal I knew she wouldn't like."
When I finally uncover my face, Luthor stares down at me with an amused grin.
"Even so. I'd like to discuss potential funding opportunities in Metropolis. If this is something you would think up out of boredom, I'd love to see what you can do when you put your mind to it."
That brings a smile to my face.
"Really? Everyone who I've brought it up to has been apprehensive about researching Kryptionian radiation.
"We need more scientists to ask questions Ms. L/N. Even the ones, that people don't want to know the answer to. "
The sullen green glow draws my eye once again to Mr. Luthor's ring finger... Wait, that's not an emerald. That's Kryptonite.
"Is this a personal interest of yours?" I ask slowly glancing between his eyes and his ring.
"In some ways."
An unspoken conversation occurs when he notices my acknowledgement of his strange choice of jewelry. The silence only creates more questions. Why would you wear something you know is irradiated?
"I hope to hear from you soon." Mr. Luthor concludes after handing me a business card, "There is always a spot at Lexcorp for a future scientist with your talents."
I stand there in silence watching him leave. The sleek modern design of the card lists only the bare essentials: his name, office address, and contact information in silver lettering.
Four hours ago, I was hauling boxes for the decorating committee. Huh. A nearby waiter offers a champagne flute from the tray. Respectfully, I turn them down. This dress costs more than my rent.
โ€œOh no. Thank you. I amโ€ฆ working.โ€
"Does work-life balance not apply to interns?โ€ A voice interrupts.
I try not to roll my eyes at the "intern" comment. The constant reminders of my status are getting old. Starting at his perfectly buffed dress shoes, my gaze drags along the fabric of his black designer suit. Dick Grayson sure does like to make an entrance. With his dark curls and friendly blue eyes, his familiar smile knocks over my defenses. Sipping on his drink, he waits for my response with a teasing grin. His energy is contiguous. I ignore his question to ask my own instead.
โ€œHas anyone told you that you tend to appear out of nowhere?โ€
His striking eyes light up with a mischievous glint.
โ€œYou have no idea.โ€ He laughs, "It's nice to see you back in Gotham. It's been a long time."
"It has. From the rumors, you have been up to quite a bit of trouble." I joke gesturing to the envious eyes from across the room.
He raises a curious eyebrow.
โ€œGood things I hope?โ€
Glancing around the room, I ignore the dozen eyes staring daggers in my direction. Academia can be such a bitch.
โ€œNothing too crazy: a few murders, unfounded accusations, and you might be an alien?โ€
Dick grimaces while tilting his head ever so slightly. He swirls his drink, yet doesn't take a sip.
โ€œSounds about right. Anything you believe? โ€œ
I pause... Do I play coy?
โ€œIโ€™m not sure an alien could do a quadruple summersault.โ€
Something flashes in his eyes that I donโ€™t quite understand. For a moment, I wonder if I should have held my tongue. His suspicion morphs into the first genuine smile I've seen all evening.
โ€œYouโ€™ve kept tabs on me Y/N.โ€
Before I can respond, a scream causes the ballroom to descend into chaos. Vines shoot out from under the floorboards while the native plants start attacking the guest. A woman with flaming red hair paces the floor. Her vines wrap around each person one by oneโ€ฆ. A thorny bush springs out of a fallen leaf snagging my delicate rental dress.
Dammit Pamela. We talked about this.
Glancing at the bartender's horrified expression, I frown.
โ€œI change my mind. Iโ€™ll have that drink now.โ€

The Princess and the Farmboy Part One
Tumblr media
(Sorry I keep using the same gif lol)
Ok so this one is a little bit of a short one, only because I felt really bad that I didn't post this and I had huge writers block. I will post the full fic by the end of the month (hopefully)
Clark Kent x Black Reader.
Rated: Teen and up
Tumblr media
Descrip: Your brother Lex decides that you need a break from the city and takes you to smallville, You think your gonna go insane from ennui. Then you (Un)fourtunately fall into the arms of one titular Farmboy.
โ€œMercy, tell me why I have to leave the comfort of Metropolis to go to Swampville.โ€ you whine
โ€œSmallville,โ€ Mercy corrects you. โ€œMaster Luthor enjoys the small town vibe and he has friends here he wants you to meet.โ€ You scoff and roll your eyes.ย 
You hail from the richest of the richest, after your parents were robbed and murdered Lionel (out of the blue I add) decided that Lex could use a playmate so he adopted you. You and Lex became attached at the hip. You needed him when the memories of your parents haunting faces marred your mind, and he needed you when Lionel was too much.ย 
Your car stops, you hear a knock on your side of the car. โ€œ(Y/n) you wanna come outside.โ€ You hear your adoptive brotherโ€™s voice. The door opens as you take his hand. The surrounding area looks so boring to you it almost makes you barf.
ย โ€œMmm, gotta love that clean air.โ€ Lex sighs. โ€œI donโ€™t know how you could like this place itโ€™s soโ€ฆ boring.โ€ you groan. You and him take a stroll on the bridge not knowing that just across the way a strong tall annoying boy is within earshot.
โ€œI think youโ€™ll start to like it here, Itโ€™s great when I need a break and trust me you need one.โ€ Lex meant well when he brought you here. Heโ€™s noticed that youโ€™ve thrown yourself into school and work more often, rarely having time for friends or fun.
The bridge starts to crack ever so slightly and Clark taking a walk hears this, heโ€™s cautious but near.
โ€œFine Iโ€™ll try to stay here but the minute something goes wro-โ€ You sooner eat your words as you suddenly fall into the water below Lex with you in tow. Something wizzes past you both, you see Lex get pulled out of the water, Heโ€™s sopping wet as Mercy goes to check on him suddenly your pulled out of the water. You cough for a bit letting your eyes adjust when you see the cutest guy you have ever seen in your life. Heโ€™s tall, has pretty green/blue eyes and his hand is on your boob right now.
ย โ€œUmโ€ฆ your hand.โ€ You nod to his hand. โ€œOh my god I am so sorry!โ€ he screeches in your ear. He stands you up, Lex starts โ€œYou know you always seem to be there whenever I need saving.โ€ Lex joked.ย 
You just stood there stewing in anger, your wet clothes sticking to you, your sew-in starting to puff up. Yeah you're done with this, โ€œLex can we go, my hair is soaking wet, Iโ€™m cold as hell. We need to go now!โ€ You screech that last line out spooking the annoyingly tall good looking boy standing next to him.ย 
โ€œSheโ€™s a bit annoying, isnโ€™t she.โ€, โ€œDude watch it, sheโ€™s my sister.โ€ Lex rebuttals.
โ€œIโ€™m annoying, no, what's annoying is that I got dropped in six feet of cold water, My hair is messed up, and now I am stuck in this hick town for god knows how long, And you TOUCHED MY BOOB!โ€ย 
Lex and Clark go wide eyed as you hobble to the car with Mercy in tow, โ€œOH AND YOU OWE ME A NEW PAIR OF THATโ€™S SO KATES!โ€ you yell down to them.

Pacing up and down the room as she listened to the ringing phone. Continued, endless ringing is all she heard.
Her wall was gone, but the dark room and vague moonlight made for good cover from any onlookers.
"Reporter!" Batman growled causing her to jump.
She clenches her phone, looking at Batman and Superman who were hidden in the back of the room.
"Just! A few more minutes. Please! I have to know if he's ok!"
Batman walks up to her with clenched fists.
"We checked the entire building, he's safe!"
Y/n clenched her teeth before yelling.
"How could you know that?! What if he came in while I wasn't in control! What if he tried to get me to calm down and I threw him across the city!"
Superman watches Y/n break down into tears worried for him, but he couldn't say anything.
Y/n turned her back to Batman and hit the call button again listening to its endless ringing.
Superman sighs.
"Y/n, we have to leave! We need more information on-"
"I'm not leaving until I'm sure Clark is SAFE!"
Her voice echoed through the night air and everything fell silent.
Superman could hear her heavy breathing and worried heart. Until his ears picked up something else.
The door to the apartment suddenly swung open. Batman stood on guard with batarangs in hand.
"Y/n?"
In stumbled a panicked, Clark Kent? His body shape and expression matched perfectly.
Y/n gasps and drops her phone onto the wooden floor. She jump hugs Clark, who grabs her and pulls her tightly against his chest keeping her head hidden in it.
"I'm so glad you're ok, Clark! I thought I'd killed you!" Y/n sobs wrapping her arms around clark tightly.
This 'Clark' makes eye contact with Superman and Batman.
Batman didn't believe it, and Superman for sure wasn't having it.
They were both ready to jump this obvious fake, until a voice streamed into their heads. A familiar voice they knew all too well. The voice of J'onn J'onzz.
'Fear not friends. I'm here to help de-escalate the situation.' He speaks.
The red eyed, shape shifting alien, now disguised as Clark Kent. Nodded at the hero's saying it was ok and they both stood down.
Clark looks back down at Y/n and pats her head.
"I'm alright! I just ran into some things to do, when I saw the apartment from the street, I panicked!" he said very convincingly.
Y/n looks up at Clark with a whimper, then punching him on his shoulder.
"Asshole! You scared me so much, glasses."
Clark only smiles taking her hands in his then giving them a small squeeze.
"I'm sorry Y/n, But I'm more worried about what happened here!"
Batman takes this opportunity to chip in.
"Things got a little more complicated. I'm afraid we'll need to take Y/n to a more secure location."
Y/n bites her lip and kneels down to pick up her phone that had acquired alot more cracks because of Y/n's sudden throw.
She taps the phone against her hand thinking for a little.
She turns to Clark and slowly places the phone in his hand.
"I'm.. Gonna need a really big favor." her breathing shutters a little but she keeps her breathing steady.
"I need you to move my things into a storage.. At least until I can figure all this out."
She glances over at the broken wall then adds.
"And fix the wall!"
Her hands shaky but she pushes them into a comforting self hug.
Clark looks at her and slowly nods pushing the phone into his pocket.
"You can count on me! But... Will you be ok?"
Y/n forces a smile and nods.
"Sure! I mean, I have the actual Superman and Batman looking out for me!"
She glances over at the hero's. Superman smiles in turn and offers his hand to her.
Y/n felt her smile turn a bit more genuine, she turns to place a small kiss on Clark's cheek, then slips her hand onto Superman's.
"I'll be back, and maybe after that.. We can talk about that dinner?" she hesitated until Clark nodded.
Saying their vague goodbyes, they made their way out of the building leaving Clark behind.
Once on the street, Superman still held Y/n's shaky hand delicately rubbing it with his thumb.
Batman's Cape flutters in the wind as he makes a few arrangements on the keyboard on his cuff.
"Where are we going?" she asks.
Batman looks at Superman, contemplating, then at Y/n once he's content.
"Against my better judgment, we're taking you to a very secret place. But we need to stop at the cave first! Superman. I'll meet you there."
Not a second passes and he's suddenly zooming off in the bat mobile.
"Um.. How am I supposed to get there!?" She yells after him with hands firmly on her sides.
Superman clears his throat making her look back at him.
A dimlit S symbol, shimmering in the street light, floating a few feet above the ground.
Once again he offers his hand and Y/n felt her stomach drop.
"Oh shi-"
Suddenly she's whooshing straight up into the sky with her arms around Superman's neck and his arm secured around her waist. The other fist stretched out infront of him for trajectory.
Y/n, with closed eyes, bites down on her lip trying not to scream any more than she already had.
"You can't keep your eyes closed the whole time." Superman teases and stops to float silently in the air.
"Yes! I can! I will keep closing my eyes and imagining I am within reasonable distance from the ground!"
Superman's lighthearted chuckle makes her smile a little.
"Just a little peek? You'll see something surprising!"
Y/n grumbles a little before slowly open one eye then both as she looks down.
Her head spins and she suddenly inhales tensing back up. Superman stops her freak out, when he pushes her head to look at him.
"Not down! Look up." he whispers, pushing her head to look up.
Other than the dark cloud of Metropolis below, Y/n is faced with a glittering symphony of stars above her. Millions of suger grains scattered across a black abyss. A beautiful night sky that would've been missed underneath the gloom of the clouds.
She laughs in bewilderment not looking away. Suddenly her fear evaporated and bravery took its place.
"Hold onto my legs! Don't let go or I swear I will tell everyone about your red underwear faze!"
With a playful threat she places her hands onto Superman's shoulders and pushes herself up for a better view.
Superman's arms are around her thighs, holding them tight enough to try and tame their shaking.
Knowing she wouldn't fall, he watched her eyes and heared every happy belly laugh she had.
She hesitates for a second lifting and quickly pulling her arms back.
"Go for it, Y/n!" Superman encouraged.
She clenches her teeth, building up courage then slowly lifts her arms into the air.
"This is so much better than the Gotham Observatory! It's like a never ending bath bomb!"
She chanted loudly with giggles streaming behind.
Kal-el had never seen this much excitement for something he'd seen a million times. Y/n's laughter echoed in his ears like jingle bells.
Y/n looked down at Superman, placing her hands back on his shoulders for support.
"You've probably heard this a million times before, but Thank you, Superman." she said genuinely, feeling Superman slip her back down to eye level.
She places a small kiss on his cheek then quickly looks back at the stars.
Superman's heart beats faster and he gives her a small squeeze.
"Your welcome, Y/n."
~~~
A few weeks later, in the Luthor building, in a not so conspicuous basement. Lex is busy typing on a keyboard. Joker spinning on a chair with a gun waving in his hand.
"Why are we still waiting! "Joker yells obnoxiously.
"Because Luthor lost our toy." a Scarecrow hisses in the background, tinkering with his mask.
Lex slams his fist onto the table and growls.
"I didn't LOSE her! She's just out of range! My Nano-bots can't get a signal!"
He yells in frustration and sweeps all his mechanics off the table. His breathing heavy with an angry snarl on his face.
"Atleast with Batman, he would've been in Gotham half the time! We could've just used it on him!" Joker growls.
Lex clenches his teeth thinking for a second.
"No, no! She was a stroke of luck! I just need to think!"
Once an idea hits his brain he stands straight and flicks his suit back into shape.
"Gentlemen, we might need to recruit somone of a different nature. Somone suited to find our weapon."
He pulls a phone from his pocket then types in a few numbers. Joker and Scarecrow make their way to the table surrounding the phone that has now been placed in the center of it.
A single light illuminating the three villains faces and a humming ring. The phone clicks, and a voice answers.
"Lex Luthor, my favorite cash cow~"
"Floyd Lawton. You were quick to pick up!"
Lex smirks listening to the Mercenary.
"What can I say! I'm always looking out for good paying jobs. Who can I kill for ya?" the sound of a spinning gun in the background of the call.
Lex folds his arms and stands straight.
"I need you to find somone. And if possible. Bring them to me."
He leans forward, typing then sending a file through to Deadshot.
Once the file is recived, there's a second of awkward silence from Deadshot. Lex shared a glance with Scarecrow before he asks.
"Know her?"
Deadshot stays quiet for a second.
"I know her old man. He used to be an Arkam Prison guard."
"Know?" Joker quickly chips in.
Another long silence makes it obvious that Floyd answered all the questions he wanted to. Lex shakes off the question.
"Will you take the job?"
"Yeah, I'll take it. Don't worry about payment. This one is a personal favor." Just like that, the call ends.
~~~
Y/n was sitting at the big circular window, watching the globe spin below.
The Justice League Space station. Watch tower. She'd been living among supers who were eager to help.
A room dedicated to her, and a few small things like plants, picture frames, a tv. And of course the note book Batman returned to her.
The doors slide open and pull Y/n out of her trance. Martin Manhunter walks in. A beautifully made meal in his hands, courtesy of a chef-bot.
"Ms, L/n?" He asks
"C'mon J'onn it's been a while! My name is Y/n." she smiles taking the meal from his hands.
She sighs a little then places it down on the bed then sitting beside it. Her access to the mass Hall was prohibited, for superhero's privacy reasons.
"Alright! Hit me with the needles!" she exclaims holding out her arms.
J'onn smiles and pushes her arms down as he walks by to sit beside her.
"I think the Batman has enough blood samples. Any more and he might be mistaken for a Vampire!" he chuckles with Y/n.
"I can see the headlines now! 'Darkness! Vengeance! And... A lust for blood?'"
Another bit of light snickering fills the room until it fades back into silence.
"I sense some sadness in your optimism."
Y/n pulls her knees to her chest and sighs.
"Sorry J'onn, just feeling a little.. Hopeless?"
A delicate hand pats her back, her new found friend comforts her.
"Perhaps, we should continue with the next episode of 'Dancing Damsel'. I cannot wait any longer to see if Derek will purpose to Lilly."
He teases.
Y/n gasps and shakes her head rapidly.
"In your dreams! She deserves Jared! Not Derek." she's quickly to crawl over the bed to grab the remote to the tv.
Just as she hits the button a voice captures her attention.
"I personally think she should've stayed with Abigail in season 1." Superman stood in the doorway with a happy smirk.
"Sorry to interrupt Y/n. But Batman needs you."
He requests, his eyes looking over at her full plate still on the bed.
Y/n stands up and crosses her arms. Her body tense once again ready for more tests.
Superman sees her panic. He takes her hand and unfolds her arms.
"No more tests. He thinks he found a way to take the nanotechnology out of your head."
Y/n's heart picks up just a little and she's quick to hug Superman. The hugs lasts long enough for Superman to smile down at her.
An excited skip in her step, she runs back to her shoes and slips them on. She runs past Superman and grabs his hand dragging him along.
"Don't watch the next episode without me J'onn!" she yells back.
J'onn only chuckles at her sudden hope as the doors slide shut.

Love and Neighbors
Clark Kent x Reader Chapters AO3
Just a short, filler chapter guys as I get back on the bandwagon! Please enjoy <3 More to come soon
40- Ma Kent's World Peace
You were helping Ma Kent with her pie crust when you heard the old screen door creek open before slamming closed as an array of voices suddenly filled the room. Clarkโ€™s voice you could listen to over all of them as he let out a loud, bellowing laugh. Seconds later he was walking into the kitchen with Bruce Wayne and Pa Kent following behind him.ย 
โ€œOh, Bruce!โ€ You said, excitedly. โ€œI didnโ€™t know you were gonna be here.โ€
You reached out for a hug, happy to see the billionaire after such a long time, and he returned it with just as much heart. โ€œI was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by.โ€
โ€œIn the neighborhood,โ€ Ma Kent scoffed. โ€œIs that what they call flying a private jet nowadays?โ€
โ€œHi Ma,โ€ Bruce said, kissing her cheek.ย 
She patted his cheek before stepping back to look at him. Ma Kent tsked before pointing to the old, wooden table in the corner of the kitchen. โ€œGo sit down, Bruce Wayne! Youโ€™re skinnier than a stick. I know Alfred has been feeding youโ€ฆโ€
You tuned Ma Kent out as you turned to Clark. Every time you looked at him it was like looking at a full moon; standing out amongst the void which left you starstruck. With a smile, you reached for him to pull him into a tight, warm hug.ย 
Placing a kiss on your lips, Clark mumbled, โ€œYouโ€™re getting better at making pies.โ€
โ€œOh, youโ€™re such a liar,โ€ You said with a playful swat to his arm.ย 
Pa Kent was quick to interject, saying in an almost-whisper, โ€œI think we need to save your friend, son.โ€ย 
Looking back over to the table, Ma Kent stood over Bruce with her hands on her hips. The man looked to be a little kid getting the scolding of a lifetime, now and then looking over to silently ask for help.ย 
โ€œMa, how about we get to finishing that pie, so we can fatten this boy up,โ€ Pa Kent said. โ€œYou two go join your friend. Iโ€™ll help Ma.โ€
You took a seat next to Bruce with Clark on your other side. When Ma stepped away, the billionaire boy seemed to let out a long breath of relief. โ€œI donโ€™t think Alfred has ever scolded me as much.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Mrs. Kent gave me a good talking to when I mentioned I forgot to eat breakfast,โ€ You said, remembering it. If every person in the world had a Ma Kent, you were positive there would be world peace.ย 
Clark added, โ€œShe scolds me, too, and Iโ€™m Superman.โ€
โ€œWhat a brag,โ€ You and Bruce said simultaneously.ย 
That surprised you, and the two of you were quick to look at each other. Mr. Wayne smiled while you laughed, Clark suddenly feeling joy and terror. He loved his two friends getting along, but the fact they had the same sarcastic humor terrified him. Turning in his chair, he asked, โ€œHowโ€™s that pie cominโ€™, Ma?โ€

Tumblr media
โ€œI'm Lex Luthor.โ€ A man strode into the precinct and rapped a fist on Damianโ€™s desk. He was wearing a crisp suit and his bald head had been shined. โ€œDetective L/n asked me to drop by.โ€
Damianโ€™s eyes flickered up to the man before going back to his origami knives. He had found a new tutorial on YouTube that promised sharper cuts. โ€œMm, yes. The CEO who murdered someone. Spoiler alert: they think you did it.โ€ He flagged down another officer. โ€œDuke, can you show him to interrogation room C, please?โ€ He waved to Lex and snickered. โ€œHave fun in there.โ€
โ€œThank you.โ€ Luthor drew his lips into a thin line.
A couple minutes later, Captain Wayne stood by Y/n as they watched Lex Luthor behind a two-way mirror. โ€œWhat are you smiling about?โ€ he asked.
โ€œHow uncomfortable this guy is,โ€ Y/n replied. โ€œI jacked up the thermostat, got the table all sticky, made one of the chair legs too short, and worst of all, I hadย Damianย greet him.โ€
โ€œWhat did you have him do?โ€
โ€œI told him to be himself.โ€
Wayne shook his head. โ€œPoor son of a bitch.โ€
Y/n glanced at her capitan before asking, โ€œWhy are you wearing a tuxedo? You look like Fred Astaire.โ€
โ€œI take that as a high compliment, but Iโ€™m not off to sing the number one song of 1935,ย Cheek to Cheek,ย which was top of the charts for fifteen weeks and the following year was nominated for the Best Song Academy Award toย The Way You Look Tonight.โ€
Y/n stared at him until she muttered, โ€œIโ€™m not even surprised anymore.โ€
โ€œClark and I are attending the opera,โ€ Wayne explained simply.
โ€œOoh, the opera. Is it the one Bugs Bunny sings?โ€
โ€œYes.โ€ Wayne turned away from Y/n and asked, โ€œSo, who's this?โ€
โ€œLex Luthor,โ€ Y/n said proudly. โ€œWe have a clear motive, clear means, a nonexistent alibi, but the DA won't bring a charge because it's all circumstantial. If we wanna bring this guy down, we have to get him to confess right here, right now.โ€
Wayne raised a brow. โ€œAn interrogation with a ticking clock and everything on the line? I better call Clark and tell him I won't be attending the opera.โ€ He pulled out his phone and began dialling. โ€œThere's someone else I'd rather hear sing.โ€
โ€œOh, damn!โ€ Y/n covered her mouth appreciatively.
โ€œHello, Clark. I won't be joining you at the opera tonight-โ€
โ€œOh, sorry,โ€ Y/n shushed herself. โ€œI didn't know-โ€ย 
Wayne cut her off, saying, โ€œit's under my name, W-A-Y-Nโ€ฆโ€
Y/n squinted at him and finished her sentence, โ€œyou were on the phone alreadyโ€ฆ.โ€
Tumblr media
Wayne poured over the case file which stated facts, showed pictures, and other minute details. โ€œYou're right.โ€ Wayne nodded. โ€œHe did it. But we have no murder weapon, no witnesses, and you really didn't findย anyย usable forensic evidence?โ€ He was doubtful that his best detective found nothing.
โ€œThe body was discovered rotting in Ocean View. It'd been rained on for weeks and chewed up by coyotes,โ€ Y/n explained. โ€The only other DNA other than the victimโ€™s was some bear semen found in the hair.โ€
โ€œRight. Who found the body?โ€
โ€œHikers,โ€ Y/n replied. โ€You're really just gonna blow past the bear semen detail?โ€
โ€œI imagine a bear mistook the rotting corpse for a female of its species and had intercourse with it.โ€ He waved her away. โ€œNothing I haven't seen before.โ€
โ€œIt isn't?โ€ Y/n stared at him, aghast. โ€œI am fascinated by your life,โ€ she whispered.
โ€œLet's get in here.โ€ Wayne cracked his knuckles. โ€œStart working this guy.โ€
โ€œOh.โ€ Y/n clicked her tongue and crossed her arms. โ€œYou're gonna come in with me? I just thought maybe you'd watch from out here, you know, pull me out when I'm getting a little too hot, possibly?โ€ She waved her hands around. โ€œCall me a loose cannon. You know, classic captain stuff.โ€
โ€œL/n, do you know what I miss about being a detective?โ€ He answered his own question, โ€œa good interrogation.โ€ He clapped a fist into his open palm. โ€œBreaking suspects down.โ€ He lowered his voice. โ€œTalking quietly and thenย talking real loud!ย Looking away and then looking right in their eyes.โ€ His eyes flared at Y/n and then he leaned casually on the desk.ย โ€œLeaning.โ€
โ€œThat was amazing,โ€ Y/n gaped.
โ€œSo, can I join you?โ€ Wayne straightened his cufflinks.
โ€œWell, a lot of these techniques do work better with two people: you know, good cop-bad cop, crazy cop-sane cop, chill cop-ADHD cop. Wanna be ADHD cop?โ€
Capitan Wayne deadpanned, โ€œI think you have that covered.โ€ He turned away and said, โ€œlet's do this!โ€
Y/n strode into the interrogation room where Lex stopped fidgeting with his uneven seat. โ€œHello, Luthor.โ€
Lex hummed and greeted, โ€œdetective.โ€
โ€œThis is Captain Bruce Wayne,โ€ Y/n gestured to Wayne who was brooding in the corner like a vigilante watching over their city. โ€œHe's a bit of a legend in interrogation circles. Hey, Cap-i-tan, who's the scariest person you've ever gotten a confession out of?โ€
โ€œAbner Krill,โ€ Wayne said. โ€œHe was known as Polka-Dot Man.โ€
Y/nโ€™s nose scrunched up. โ€œOkay, I thought it was gonna sound a little cooler, but whatever.โ€ She clapped her hands together and sat down across from Lex. โ€œSo, shall we recap the night that Axel Granite was murdered? Friday the twenty second? I believe you were the last person to see him alive, correct?โ€
โ€œNo.โ€ Lex raised a brow. โ€œI'd imagine whoever killed him saw him after I did.โ€
โ€œOoh, nice dodge,โ€ Y/n complimented andย  leaned back in her chair.ย Finally; a challenge.ย โ€œTell us about Friday.โ€
โ€œI had a late afternoon meeting.โ€ Lex matched her stance, leaning back as well. He seemed relaxed- one leg was propped on the other, hands were loosely clasped on his lap, and eyes smiling. โ€œA simple board meeting. It wrapped up around six oโ€™clock, and Axel and I talked after. He had just wrapped up his last appointment.โ€
โ€œAnd why do you have a doctor on sight?โ€ Y/n asked.
โ€œIn case of any emergencies,โ€ Lex answered easily. โ€œWe also take blood samples for some of the experiments we conduct at LexCorp, so we need him handy.โ€
โ€œAnd who else was in the office?โ€
โ€œMy secretary and driver had gone home, and Cheryl, whoโ€˜s usually one of the last to leave, left early because her niece had a school play,โ€ he explained.
โ€œSo it was just you and Axel? No witnesses?โ€ Y/n hummed. โ€œThat's lucky.โ€
He shook his head. โ€œNot lucky at all. There was nothing to witness. Axel just wanted to talk about firing one of our employees, Gretchen.โ€
โ€œAnd that's all you discussed?โ€ Y/n clarified.
โ€œYeah.โ€
โ€œNothing else?โ€
โ€œNah.โ€
โ€œZero other subjects were mentioned?โ€
โ€œNone. We just talked about Gretchen.โ€
โ€œRight.โ€ Y/n squinted at him. โ€œAnd, of course, there's no way for me to check if that's true, because whoever took Axelโ€™s phone wiped all of his calendars. Exceptโ€ฆโ€ She flipped open her notepad and sucked a breath through her teeth. โ€œIt was all backed up on his home laptop. Would you like to hear what he said the meeting was about?โ€ She cleared her throat and read aloud, โ€œSeven P.M. talked with Lex about-"ย 
โ€œMissing equipment,โ€ Luthor finished. Once again, he mimicked Y/n and sucked in a breath. โ€œOoh. Did I get that right?โ€
โ€œUh, yeah.โ€ Y/n closed her notebook and said, โ€œBut โ€˜missing equipmentโ€™ hardly sounds like โ€˜firing Gretchen.โ€™ So maybe you want to explainโ€ฆโ€
โ€œHe thought Gretchen was stealing lab equipment. That's why he wanted to fire her.โ€ He inspected his nails. โ€œAny other questions?โ€
Wayne suddenly started chuckling. Honestly, Y/n had forgotten that he was there. โ€œBoy, you really thought you had him with that one, huh?โ€
โ€œWell, Iโ€ฆโ€ Y/nโ€™s mouth dropped open.
โ€œAnd you got so excited for itโ€ฆ Let me guess, you, ah, practised the notebook flip?โ€ย 
โ€œUh, Captain, something's come up in the case. Can I talk to you outside for a sec?โ€ Y/n interrupted. Once they were outside, she cried, โ€œWhat the hell are you doing in there? Youย totallyย undermined me.โ€
โ€œI know, and I apologise.โ€ Wayne held up a hand. โ€œBut I'm executing a strategy.โ€
โ€œOh, really, and what strategy might that be?โ€ She placed her hands on her hips. โ€œMake Y/n feel like an idiot?โ€
โ€œNo, I want Luthor to underestimate you and fear me. I'll badger him with my superior intellect, while simultaneously belittling you. Once Luthor dismisses you as a threat, I'll leave you alone with him, and he'll let his guard down.โ€
Y/n glared at him and mumbled, โ€œ If I didn't know any better, I would say you're describing smart cop-dumb cop.โ€
โ€œLook, I thought you had him on the calendar reveal,โ€ Wayne conceded. โ€œBut he was a step ahead. You got flustered, and I realised in the moment we could use this to our advantage.โ€
โ€œSo what do you want me to do, ask stupid questions?โ€ Y/n shrugged dramatically.
โ€œStupid questions, grammatical errors, lose your train of thought, just ask him to confess.โ€ Wayne listed on his fingers. โ€œThis is not a comment on you, L/n. Youโ€™re a brilliant detective. I only want to bring this guy down.โ€
โ€œYeah, that's all I want too.โ€
Tumblr media
โ€œSo, the night of the murder, you met with Robert in his doctor's office,โ€ Y/n reiterated. โ€œWhy there? Why notย yourย office which is much better suited for business meetings?โ€
โ€œHe was preparing for the next day's appointments. By taking the meeting in his office, we saved time. And time is money.โ€ He mimicked tapping a watch.
โ€œRight, and didโ€ฆโ€ Y/n trailed off. โ€œNevermind. I forgot what I was saying. Come back to me.โ€
Wayne swept in easily, โ€œnow, we did a sweep of the room where you and Axel fought-โ€
โ€œTalked,โ€ Lex corrected.
โ€œRight. โ€˜Talked.โ€™ The entire room had been scrubbed. It had undergone industrial sterilisation to remove all traces of blood and DNA.โ€ Wayne crossed his arms.
โ€œIt's aย doctorโ€™s office,โ€ย Lex reminded them. โ€œBlood draws happen every day. Per law, we have to sanitise it.โ€
โ€œOoh!โ€ Y/n butt in. โ€œI remembered what I was gonna ask. Did you kill him?โ€
โ€œNo,โ€ Lex answered calmly.
Wayne redirected the conversation back on track. โ€œSo, after you and Robert fought-โ€
โ€œTalked.โ€
โ€œYou left the office, but you didn't take your car?โ€ Wayne asked.
โ€œI went to a bar,ย The Scotchman,โ€ย Lex said. โ€œI didn't want to drive drunk, so I took a cab. You know, like a responsible person.โ€
โ€œAnd you didn't have your phone?โ€ Clearly, Wayne didnโ€™t believe this story.
โ€œI left it charging in my office and I didn't realise till I was already out of the building,โ€ Lex offered easily.
โ€œOh, man, if I go ten minutes without looking at my phone, my pumpkin crop dies on my little farm.โ€ Y/n shook her head sadly.
โ€œThis is not the time for stories about your digital squash, L/n,โ€ Wayne said sharply.
โ€œWhat does it matter that I forgot my phone?โ€ Luthor completely disregarded Y/nโ€™s comments. A look of realisation dawned on his face and he chuckled, โ€œI had it on me, you could've seen it pinging off the cell tower.โ€
โ€œSo you took a cab to this bar,โ€ Wayne narrated. โ€œHowever, we talked to the employees ofย The Scotchman.ย Nobody saw you there.โ€
โ€œNobodyย remembersย seeing me,โ€ Luthor pointed out. โ€œIt's not surprising nobody remembers seeing me. The bar was extremely crowded that night and I spent my whole time in the corner talking to this woman, Helen.โ€
Wayne hummed. โ€œOh, so you say. But when we ran all the credit card receipts, nobody named Helen bought any drinks that night.โ€
Lex chuckled and held up a hand. โ€œTrust me, Helen wasn't buying her own drinks.โ€
Suddenly, Wayneโ€™s phone rang and he said, โ€œI need to deal with this. Let's take a five.โ€
โ€œOrโ€ฆโ€ Y/n suggested slowly, โ€œI could keep this interview going solo.โ€
โ€œYes,โ€ Captain Wayne said after a moment. Luthor regarded their interaction closely. โ€œI'm sure that'll be, umโ€ฆ pretty helpful.โ€
Once Wayne had left the interrogation room, Y/n sat herself down at the table and smiled broadly. โ€œI have some questions,โ€ she said brightly. โ€œWhat kind of car did Robert drive?โ€ She flipped open her notebook and suddenly rattled off, โ€œalso, what colour was Helenโ€™s hair, which night does the cleaning crew sterilise your office, have you ever been to where the body was found, when you left your phone at the office was it plugged into your computer or an outlet, did you kill him, and what did your cab driver look like?โ€
Lex rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. โ€œThis is a huge waste of time. But, here you go: Robert drove a Saab, Helenโ€™s hair was brown, they sterilise on Wednesdays and Saturdays, I haven't been to Ocean View in twenty years, the phone was plugged into the wall, I did not kill him, and the cab driver had a beard and an earringโ€ฆ I'm sorry I didn't get his licence number.โ€
Y/n clicked her tongue and smirked. โ€œWow.ย Very impressive.ย You didn't even fall for my โ€˜did you kill himโ€™ gambit.โ€
โ€œNope,โ€ Lex grinned.
โ€œAlthough,โ€ Y/n tapped her chin. โ€œItย isย interesting that you knew the body was found in Ocean View, New Jersey, when that information hasn't been released to the public yet.โ€ When Luthorโ€™s gaze flickered to her, Y/n muttered, โ€œGot ya.โ€ She laughed and said, โ€œI can't believe you thought I was the dumb cop. I mean, Tim made me watchย Planet Earthย with the British narrator. I can tell you anything you want to know aboutย three-toed slow-ths,โ€ย she said in a farcical manner. โ€œI totally got you to say where the body was found, which kinda seems like something only the murderer would know.โ€
โ€œActually,โ€ Luthorโ€™ jaw twitched and he sat back. โ€œAxelโ€™s wife told me. I've been comforting her a lot lately. To help her through the pain.โ€
Y/n growled, โ€œwe asked her not to share that info, and she promised us she didn't.โ€
โ€œWell, she's been distraught,โ€ Lex said. โ€œShe might not remember.โ€
โ€œFlimsy.โ€ Y/n rolled her eyes. โ€œSo what did you mean when you said you hadn't been to Ocean View in twenty years?โ€
โ€œMy uncle has a cabin there. I would visit him as a kid.โ€
โ€œSo your uncle owns a cabin in the town where the bear-semened body was found. That is quite a coincidence,โ€ Y/n commented.
โ€œI haven't been there for twenty years. You can call my uncle if you want,โ€ Lex waved his hand.
โ€œOh, we are.โ€ Y/n nodded reassuringly. โ€œSo you might as well just confess now, or we can take our sweet time like theย mer-jestic slow-th.โ€ย Her British accent came out once again. โ€œEither way, we've got you.โ€
Tumblr media
โ€œWe don't have him,โ€ Y/n sighed behind the two-way glass.ย 
โ€œLuthorโ€™s uncle said he hasn't been to the cabin in months and he hasn't spoken to Luthor in over a year,โ€ Wayne said, tapping on his phone.
โ€œWhat about the neighbours?โ€ Y/n asked.
โ€œThere's only one other house on that road and we haven't been able to contact the owner.โ€
Y/n poked her tongue in her cheek. โ€œYeah, but Lex doesn't know that. If we tell him the neighbour saw him that night, he'll crack for sure.โ€
Wayne glared at her. โ€œYou want us to lie?โ€
โ€œNo,โ€ Y/n sassed. โ€œI wantย meย to lie andย youย to stand behind me and say, three โ€˜oh damnsโ€™ when I defeat him.โ€
โ€œThere will be no โ€˜oh damns.โ€™โ€ Wayne said, โ€œwe're not lying.โ€
โ€œThe Supreme Court said that we're allowed to lie in an interrogation,โ€ Y/n argued. โ€œCouple of days ago I told a perp I knew Selena Gomez. It had absolutely nothing to do with the case, but I can say it.โ€
Wayne shook his head. โ€œWhat if Luthor never went to the cabin? Suppose you're wrong. Then Luthor knows we have nothing. There goes our credibility and our leverage.โ€ He scratched his nose. โ€œNo, we need a different strategy. Admittedly, all this dental talk has given me an idea.โ€
Tumblr media
Y/n barged into the room and announced, โ€œWe have a few more questions for you,ย genius.โ€
Wayne snickered. โ€œGenius.โ€ Luthor slowly turned to look at him. โ€œIt's funny when people call businessmen โ€˜geniuses.โ€™ Especially male CEOโ€™s.โ€
โ€œI had to build my company from the ground up,โ€ Lex said.
โ€œThat doesnโ€™t make you a genius,โ€ Wayne retorted.
โ€œI have an IQ of two hundred twenty four.โ€ Luthor smirked. โ€œDoes that qualify?โ€
Wayneโ€™s jaw ticked. โ€œHave you made any notable contributions to science? Have you discovered a new element? Building up a business hardly qualifies you.โ€
โ€œMy company has contributed to many scientific endeavours, thank you very much.โ€ Luthorโ€™s voice was tense and Y/nโ€™s eyes flickered between the two men.ย 
โ€œBut were you the one actually experimenting?โ€ Wayne pounded a fist on the table and it rattled. โ€œWe live in a society where CEOs take credit for the things-โ€ A few moments later, Wayne was sitting in the viewing room and saying, โ€œApparently thatโ€™s a trigger for me.โ€ His cufflinks were undone and his tie was loosened.
โ€œYeah, apparently.โ€ Y/n handed him a glass of water. โ€œSoโ€ฆ now can we lie?โ€
โ€œNo. But you know what works? Making him confront his victim.โ€
Tumblr media
โ€œLook your dead friend in the eyes and say his name,โ€ Y/n demanded, holding up a picture of Axel Granite.
Luthor looked at the picture. โ€œAxel.โ€
โ€œOkay, maybe say his full name,โ€ Y/n suggested.
โ€œAxel Granite.โ€
โ€œHis middle name's Holt.โ€
โ€œAxel Holt Granite.โ€
โ€œHis wife called him Axe. Work that in.โ€
โ€œAxe Granite.โ€
โ€œWork it into the full name.โ€
โ€œAxel โ€˜Axeโ€™ Holt Granite.โ€
โ€œNow say it with a frown on your face.โ€
โ€œAxel โ€˜Axeโ€™ Holt Granite.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t blink so tears come to your eyes.โ€
โ€œAxel โ€˜Axeโ€™ Holt Granite.โ€
Tumblr media
โ€œMan, this guy is a good murderer!โ€ Y/n cried once she and Wayne were back behind the two-way glass.
โ€œThere's got to be some way to break him.โ€ Wayne rubbed at his temples.
Y/nโ€™s eyes lit up. โ€œWait a minute. I just had an idea.โ€
Tumblr media
Y/n held a guitar and chanted, โ€œtwo, three, four!โ€ She strummed the guitar haphazardly and started screaming loudly.ย 
Tumblr media
โ€œYeah, I really gotta stop trying that.โ€ In the viewing room, Y/n set the guitar aside, huffing out a breath. โ€œIt never works.โ€
Tumblr media
โ€œTell us more about your relationship with Axel.โ€
Lex exhaled. โ€œWe've been over this a thousand times,โ€ he said. โ€œWe got along well. I mean, we disagreed sometimes, but we had a good partnership.โ€ Luthor smirked and muttered, โ€œhe never, for instance, skipped a party so he could micromanage me as I tried to do my job. That's what's happening here, right?โ€ He pointed towards the two officers. โ€œThat's why you're wearing the tuxedo?โ€
โ€œI skipped the opera, not a party,โ€ Bruce said. โ€Itโ€™s not a big deal.โ€
โ€œYeah, it's the Bugs Bunny one!โ€ Y/n piped up.
โ€œAnd I'm not here to micromanage anyone,โ€ Wayne frowned. โ€œI'm here because I enjoy interrogating scum.โ€
โ€œYou don't think the fact that he skipped the opera has anything to do with him not believing in you?โ€ Lex asked slowly.
โ€œHe believes in me!โ€ Y/n defended before pointing an accusing finger at the CEO. โ€œYou're not interrogating us.ย We'reย interrogatingย you.ย Tell us about the missing equipment! If Gretchen didn't take it, then who did? Because we're pretty sure it was you. Honestly, it could have beenย anyย of your employees. They all have access to the storage room.โ€
โ€œYou know, it's silly, but, uhโ€ฆโ€ Luther glanced up at them knowingly. โ€œI trust the people who work for me.โ€
โ€œCaptain Wayne is only here because I want him here,โ€ Y/n said.
โ€œReally?โ€ He pointed at Y/n. โ€œSo you're in charge? And all these strategies have been your ideas?โ€
Y/n stuttered and then said after a moment, โ€œthe guitar thing was mine.โ€
โ€œAnd you signed off on that?โ€ He then pointed at Wayne.
When Bruce didnโ€™t say anything, Y/n turned towards him and scoffed, โ€œseriously?โ€
โ€œI just feel bad for you,โ€ Luther shook his head. โ€œYour boss thinks you're an idiot; that can't feel good.โ€
โ€œAlright, listen,โ€ Y/n snarled. โ€œYou son of a bitch, you think you're smarter than us? You think you've gotten away with it? You haven't.โ€ She wagged her finger. โ€œImma find something. One skin cell, one eyelash, oneย tiny inconsistencyย in your story, and you're gonna spend the rest of your life in prison. Everyone who loves you will leave, and you willย die alone!ย And at that time, it will beย yourย head that a bear has sex with!โ€ A few moments later, Y/n was sitting in the viewing room and saying, โ€œApparently thatโ€™s a trigger for me.โ€ Her sleeves were rolled up and she tugged at her collar.
โ€œYeah, apparently.โ€ Wayne handed her a glass of water.ย 
โ€œHe just gets us so riled up!โ€ Y/n complained. She furrowed her brows and stared at nothing for a minute before murmuring, โ€œI got it. I got it!โ€
โ€œHe's not answering any questions,โ€ Lutherโ€™s lawyer, who had just joined him, said firmly as Y/n burst into the room.
โ€œThat's okay.โ€ Y/n grinned. โ€œI have no questions. That's right. I'm about to monologue, son!โ€ She snapped her fingers theatrically.
โ€œYou better make it quick,โ€ the lawyer said. โ€œYou have eight minutes until I file a harassment claim.โ€
โ€œAlright, let me paint you a picture.โ€ Wayne strode into the room and stood in the corner, arms crossed, listening to Y/n. โ€œLex Luthor, CEO of LexCorp, has been stealing equipment from his own labs.โ€
โ€œWhy would I steal from my own labs?โ€ Luthor asked incredulously.
โ€œWhatโ€™s the point of this?โ€ His lawyer demanded.
โ€I'll get there,โ€ Y/n held a finger up. โ€œOne day, I'm working late when my colleague, Axel Granite, surprised me. He found out I was stealing equipment and said he's gonna file a police report. My reputation could be ruined. We fight, and something in me justย snaps,ย so I grab the first thing I can find and I hit him with it.โ€
โ€œYou still have no murder weapon,โ€ the lawyer reminded her.
โ€œI do now.โ€ Y/n slammed a picture down on the table. โ€œI found a picture on Yelp of the doctorโ€™s office six months ago, and here is a shot that our crime scene photographer took of the same room two weeks after the murder.โ€ She slammed down another photo. โ€œNotice any differences?โ€ she asked.
โ€œWe're not answering that,โ€ the lawyer said.
โ€œThat's all right, I can just tell you myself.โ€ Y/n shrugged before continuing, โ€œthe Yelp picture has six of these glass awards in the background, whereas this shot only has five. What happened to number six?โ€ Y/n asked rhetorically. โ€œMurdered Axel with it!โ€
โ€œI didn't,โ€ Lex glared.
โ€œYou lost all control and you bludgeoned him to death,โ€ Y/n, true to her word, kept monologuing. โ€œThere must have been bloodย everywhere,ย but you got lucky. You never would have gotten away with it in your carpeted office!โ€
โ€œThat's not what happened.โ€ Luthorโ€™s hands curled into fists.
โ€œDon't say anything, Lex,โ€ his lawyer reminded him.
โ€œAnd Cheryl wouldโ€™ve heard all of the screaming but she was at her niece's play. Lucky again.โ€
โ€œYou're wrong.โ€
โ€œYou put Axelโ€™s body onto a dolly and shoved it in the elevator. It's aย miracleย there wasn't blood everywhere.โ€
โ€œThat's not true!โ€ Luther insisted.
โ€œNow you're in the garage with a corpse. You panicked and left your phone in your office and you don't have your car keys, but Axelโ€™s are in his pocket so you put him in his car and take off.โ€
โ€œNo.โ€
โ€œYou simply can't believe what you've done.โ€ She fans her face dramatically.ย 
โ€œNo.โ€
โ€œLuthor,โ€ his lawyer placed a hand on his forearm.
โ€œYou're flustered,โ€ Y/n placed a hand on her forehead, faux swooning. โ€œYou have no GPS, so you just start driving.โ€
โ€œNo!โ€ Lex pounded the table.
โ€œLex! Stop!โ€ his lawyer cried.
โ€œNext thing you know, you're in Ocean Views, and it hits you: your uncle's cabin! He has a place there. You're the luckiest son of a bitch ever.โ€
โ€œIt wasn't luck!โ€ Luthor shouted and Y/nโ€™s jaw twitched.
โ€œYes, it was,โ€ she laughed. โ€œYou got lucky at every turn!โ€
โ€œNo!โ€ Luthor fumed, slowly rising from his seat. โ€I knewย exactlyย where I was driving, I left my phone in the office onย purpose,ย I was in the doctorโ€™s office by design, and I didn't use someย glass awardย that anyย idiotย would clearly see was missing. In fact, a cleaner had broken it a week before!โ€ He leaned forward on his fists, rings shining fully in the dim light. โ€œI made a rod out of lab glass, killed him with it, then melted it back down. It's already another test tube,ย son!โ€ย His face morphed into one of shock and he fell back into his seat. His lawyerโ€™s eyes widened before rubbing him sympathetically on the back.
Wayneโ€™s mouth dropped open and he mumbled, โ€œoh, damn.โ€ In a louder voice he repeated, โ€œoh, damn.โ€ Shocked, the police captain cried out, โ€œoh, damn!โ€
Y/n spun her finger in the air victoriously. โ€œAnd that is three oh damns!โ€ she shouted out. In a whisper, she said, โ€œI feel so cool right now. Like Iโ€™m in a fanfic.โ€

This time doing this little piece that was such fun honestly, also I love sandiwichitos de milanesa so I just couldn't ignore it. Thank you so much for the request and I hope you enjoy it! <3
Lena Luthor x Superhero Fem!R/Arachnid Powers/Word Count:ย 1,388
-------------------------------------------------------
Your story starting the first time Lena ever saw you, you were on the news, stopping a bank robbery.
You were using nothing but a black hoodie, grey pants, a ski mask, and a pair of worn out shoes, and had disappeared before Supergirl could arrive.
The cameras spotted you swinging your way out through the building of National City, using what at first she imagined were hook-shots.
Like the rest of the city, she started seeing you more often on the news with growing curiosity as you helped all citizens.
The news outlets trying to come up with names for you; "The Human Spider", "The Web Slinger", "The Wall Crawler", "Arachnid Woman".
Your first close encounter with Lena was during a supervillian attack on L-Corp. The top floors were crumbling while Supergirl was fighting and you appeared, saving all the people from the falling debris, including her.
You carried her in your arms as you used your webs to pull you down to the ground, keeping her safe but leaving before she could say anything.
She and the whole DEO searching for you after that, wanting to know who you were and where you came from.
Lena investigating you but coming to dead ends, trying to understand you and your powers from what she sees in the news and DEO reports.
Losing hope after many months only for you to swing to her office balcony one night as she looked down the city.
"I believe you and your friends have been looking for me."
"Mostly me, but yes."
"What for?"
"I wanted to thank you, for saving my life."
Distrusting Lena initially due to personal reasons and avoiding further contact but slowly getting used to her as you came to her aid several more times.
"We should stop meeting in life threatening situations, Miss Luthor."
"We certainly should, and I still don't know your name."
"I guess you can call me (Y/N), for now."
Warming up to her and even visiting her a few times at her office. Always reaching her floor by crawling on the side of her building or swinging with your webs to avoid being spotted.
You always work this late, Miss Luthor?
I could ask the same.
You know what they say, crime never sleeps.
Lena noticing more and more of how your powers work, even making you a suit to help you out, leaving it on her balcony with a little note after leaving early from work one day.
Smiling at the gesture and the news making noise about your new look the next day, giving you new superhero names and such.
Going to her office more often and starting to enjoy your small conversations with her and the balcony kind of becoming your meeting place.
Finally building enough trust to tell her who you were and explain how you got your powers.
Telling her you had been very sick, almost too far gone a few years back, when her brother offered you some sort of experimental treatment for your illness. You accepted and Lex brought you to Luthorcorp.
Little did you know, her brother had been running illegal and dangerous human experiments in there.
You had woken up in a cryosleep chamber years later in a secret facility, as you had been the only survivor of his experiments and the only one who seemed to assimilate your new given powers correctly.
"I had nothing and nowhere to go but I didn't want to use my powers to take advantage of people."
Lena offering you a place to stay and helping you go back on track with your life.
Supergirl and Alex also offering you a place in the DEO but refusing as places like that bring you bad memories but offering your help back in case they need it.
Having a bit of trouble adapting your new life with the superhero gig going on but Lena helping you as best as she can with everything you need.
"What if I say I need a million dollars?"
Lena discovering your funny dorky side.
Your relationship with Lena growing over time as she helps you settle as the newest heroine of National City.
Lena helping you design your supersuit and inventing new devices for you.
"I think I need to come up with a superhero name. People are starting to call me 'The Tarantula' and 'Black Widow'."
"Mmh, maybe you would like something more classic?"
"Like what?"
"How aboutโ€ฆ 'Arachne'?"
Her choosing your new name and going along with it.
Visiting her regularly when the city seems calmer and conversing for hours in her balcony.
Developing a soft spot for her and finally inviting her to move with you through the city.
"You know I have a driver and a car, right?"
"Swinging is faster, you can avoid a lot of traffic."
Lena actually enjoying the rides with you, although only the short ones.
Lena introducing you to the Superfriends.
"So, spider powers, uh? What's that exactly? Extra eyes? Extra legs? Can you stick to any surface?"
"No extra limbs as far as I'm awareโ€ฆand I suppose I can stick to anything, uh, so far?"
"Cool. And the web, does it come from-?"
"Alex, stop."
"I'm just asking. What? As if you aren't curious too."
Lena helping you train and taking the chance to analyze and help you with your own powers.
She realizing she worries about you the more you get involved in fights to protect National City, particularly when Kara isn't in town.
She being the one to patch you up at your place when you don't want to stay at the DEO.
"You should see the other guy. The other guy, in this instance, being a killer croc."
Lena visiting your place and spending more time with you outside her office and the DEO.
Putting more attention to her and her safety when a fight or battle breaks lose.
Realizing after many of those you like her more than you think and going to her balcony one night to confess your feelings.
Lena admitting the same and being happy about it as you ask her to go on a date with you.
Spending your first date with Lena watching the sunset from the highest place of the city after a rooftop picnic.
Lena making sure to leave L-Corp early to spend more time with you.
Helping each other when there are criminals on the loose and being very protective of Lena if there's any after her.
Upside down kisses.
Taking her to dates by swinging around the city and her offering her limousine from time to time as a way to spoil you.
Making it official and the Superfriends being really supportive and happy for you.
Being awkward and nerdy around each other.
Very interesting moments in bed.
Grabbing food or coffee for her any chance you can so you can visit her at her office.
Dates on her office balcony also becoming a regular thing.
Sticking upside down out of her window and knocking at it at the end of her office hours to take her home.
Enjoying swinging around the city just to keep her clinging to you.
"You better hold on tight, spider-monkey."
"Is that a Twilight reference? I shouldn't have let Kara convince us to watch those."
Lots of game nights with the Superfriends and always teaming up with Lena.
Lena being your unofficial handler and she always being on your side whatever happens on your fights and missions.
You always supporting Lena and her ideas, but knowing when to call her out when things feel out of hand.
She doing the same with you, particularly when you feel responsible for everyone.
"I'm sorry, (Y/N), sometimes the hardest thing about this is you can't always save everybody."
Hugs so tight and long they feel like home.
Leaving Lena huge messages around different spaces of the city written with your web. Mostly hearts with her initial in the middle.
Being really close and intimate on your alone moments.
Always coming to aid the Superfriends when they need you or teaming up with Alex and the DEO.
Lena spoiling you with new gadgets and even making you a new suit with nano-tech.
"Like Kara's, but way cooler."
"Oh yes, but don't let her hear you say that."

Hello steor-ra, I saw your yandere superfam post, I was curious what would happen if Baby!reader was not found and the joker did not reveal where the baby is and the heroes did not find her, the baby simply disappeared
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If it's not Joker just simply killing you then, he will sell you to Superman's archenemy, Lex Luthor, who will then keep you in a tube where he will create a clone of you and give that version of you to Superman, claiming that he was the one who discovered you, and, like a nice guy, he wants to give you back, simple as that.
And, of course, Superman is suspicious, but seeing his little One back in his arms helped him relax a little, because this baby feels strange. Superman doesn't really feel the spark the same way he did with your original self, and knowing Lex Luthor is capable of creating clones made his suspicion raise a bit.
Frowning he thanked the guy who swore will be his biggest enemy and flew away
It will take several months before the family realizes this is a clone, not their baby. Probably because the same things the cloned you create don't actually make them want to imprison clone-you forever; it's as if their fascination with you has waned. And they don't like it; what if they suddenly neglect you? Or should they say a clone.
It's comfirmed when Superman or Jon hears your cries from far away while fighting near lex corp
Maybe lex Luthor has also turned into a yandere for you and kept you inside a room where Superman's x-ray vision cannot be see through.
Lex can't keep you any longer with him though, Superman have a bunch of heroes to help him sooo
But if you like the version of Joker simply just killing you then go ahead.
Maybe you are killed to spite everyone who is a yandere for you, or Joker tortured you in front of Superman; maybe Joker will bang your head against the wall again and over and over while Superman is being held by something strong, and when Joker is finished, he will definitely be killed, obviously
But if you want a bright side, you'll get to regenerate because, duh! You're Superman's child, you'll most likely to also get some his super abilities ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ž
Oh and if you're saying that y/n just simply Dissapearrd like really, then Superman will go nuts like he was in the injustice. The end๐Ÿค—

The Billionaire Boys Club
Batfamily x PhD student reader
(This takes place around 6 years after the Intern. )
The Intern Collection
Prequel: Death of a Family
The Intern: Day one
The Intern: The Laughing Fish
The Intern: Busy Work
The Intern: Outreach Gala
The Intern: Visiting an old friend
The Intern: Chemical Valley
The Intern: Billionaire Boys Club
After interning in her hometown, Y/N was recruited to do her master's degree fully funded by Lexcorp. She had developed an attraction over the 3 years working with Lex Luthor, yet his controlling behavior led to Superman warning Y/N about the CEO's affections. Her master's thesis was on the environmental impacts of Kryptonite use and storage.
Gotham City's explosive tonight. The annual environmental gala has somehow brought fresh life into the sallow streets.
The gala's decorator deserves a raise. Lush vines descend from the high ceiling wrapping around the pillars. I narrow my eyes. Are those real carrier pigeons? Every flower from any climate you could possibly imagine flood the walls in a sweet cascade of fragrance. The sweet aroma tethers me to the present. Dick and Tim give me sly smiles from across the ballroom. Stumbling past the walls of plants, Bruce gives me a thumbs up.
"You clean up nice."
I give him a small smile before glancing down at my Wayne sponsored garb. The long satin dress hugs my hips in an almost risque manner. A respectable slit begins at my mid thigh showing off my red and black pumps. I grimace at the unknown cost.
"You know you didn't have to go all Pretty Woman on me Mr. Wayne." I joke smoothing out my silk gloves, "I do have a paycheck."
Bruce smiles. It takes me off guard. A real smile with squinted eyes and smile lines. As goofy as the most attractive man in the room can be. Compared to his work persona, it's nice to see.
"Ms. L/N, I would never ask you to spend your money to play dress up for a gala I invited you to."
I nod not knowing what else to say. An entire styling team showed up at my door this morning with rack of dresses to choose from... and the shoes... well let's just say it would have made Cinderella run back home and demand to know why she couldn't have gotten Bruce Wayne as her Godmother.
His eyes gravitate to the pendant draped across my neck. A sting of pain registers on his face. I shift uncomfortably once he starts to stare. At my discomfort, Mr. Wayne apologizes.
"I'm sorry Ms. L/N. I haven't seen that necklace in a very long time."
I raise an eyebrow. Mr. Wayne never divulges this much personal information.
"Old flame?" I joke wiggling my eyebrows.
He shakes his head with a pained smile.
"That was my Mother's necklace."
My eyes widen. Martha Wayne's necklace. Instinctively, I reach to take it off. I already couldn't afford a ruby necklace, but a Wayne family heirloom? Hell no.
"I can take it off if you-" I start reaching for the clasp.
Mr. Wayne stops me in my tracks.
"Don't worry about it. That was a long time ago. "
I still hesitate. I glance awkwardly around the ballroom.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," Mr. Wayne weighs carefully, "Besides, it might make for an interesting headline."
I scowl.
"I'm not going to like this am I?"
A devilish grin appears in response to my dismay.
"Welcome back to Gotham Ms. L/N."
Bruce's sons materialize a few seconds later. If I wasn't used to them suddenly appearing in my office, I would have shrieked.
"Tim. Dick." I greet with a nod, "Always a pleasure."
The younger boy looks at me like I am a puzzle piece he can't quite figure out where to put yet. Dick is as charming as ever.
"Y/N, I can't believe Bruce roped you into being his date. Have you ever considered unionizing?" He teases with a grin.
"At least, I'm getting paid to be here. What's your excuse?" I tease lightly hitting his shoulder. "Don't you have a hot date tonight Bludhaven?"
A painfully familiar shadow interrupts the conversation.
"Mr. Luthor."
Turning around, my legs begin to shake. What a wonderful... surprise. Lex nods to the three men before setting his sights on me.
"Mr. Luthor,"
Saying his formal title feels wrong, yet calling him Lex wouldn't be right either. Not after everything that has happened. Timothy's analytical gaze burns my peripheral.
"Ms. L/N, would you join me for a dance?"
I hesitate eyeing the audience that is forming. Extending his hand, Lex continues, "For old times sake?"
Three people stopped talking to gawk. I don't have much of a choice. With the amount of gossip mongrels here tonight, if I say no my face will be plastered on every gossip column in Gotham... If I say yes, well at least it will only be in Metropolis Gossip columns. I don't have much of a choice.
"Of course... Mr. Luthor." I agree through gritted teeth letting him drag me onto the dance floor.
If I thought agreeing to a waltz would quell speculation, I was poorly mistaken. Dozens of eyes follow our every movement including my boss's.
"You are only feeding into their curiosity." Lex whispers in my ear, "Those vultures know when you are weak."
"Is that what I am?" I question finally looking into his green eyes, "No need for flattery Alexander."
"There isn't any other way to explain your disappearance."
"-That's not fair."
The fire in his eyes leaves me speechless. This was not how I planned to spend my Saturday evening. For a moment, I fantasize on how this night could have gone. I could have had an early night enjoying take out... exchanged my favorite book with the cute guy next door. Slept in. Instead, I am bickering with a man who could be my Uncle over the fact I didn't take a job offer...and potentially start a relationship with him.
"Okay, so I cut you off." I start, "I'm sorry I hurt you, but things couldn't keep progressing like that. My project ended. It was time for me to go."
...and Superman told me that you started tracking my whereabouts... along with bugging my apartment... Go to therapy.
Lex shakes his head.
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3
"You were offered a complete stipend. A guaranteed job offer. Why would you turn that down?"
My lips press together into a fine line.
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3
The orchestra roars into a crescendo. The dance speeds up.
"You know why...." I hiss trying to keep up with his increasing tempo.
I've never been good at multitasking.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3-
"-Say it," Lex demands gripping my fingers tighter, "Tell me."
The ring on his left hand gets caught on my gloves tearing the beautiful silk right down the center. The radiant green draws my attention. Kryptonite. After all this time, he still wears it. Rage causes my face to go hot. I stop dancing to grab his ring.
"This is why Lex," I snarl, "Because I am sick of watching you destroy yourself. You've read my research."
A smart ass grin stretches across his face. The onlookers exchange curious glances at our lack of dancing.
"I paid for it." He replies smugly.
"Then you should know how ludicrous this behavior is. You are going to die before you win."
His eyes get sharp. I must have hit a nerve. A vein in his forehead grows prominent. Another couple dances past us. Lex tears me out of the way before I get bulldozed. A few beats later, we are back in the dance. His hands grow tight around mine like he's afraid I might disappear again. My knuckles turn white from the pressure, but I won't give him what he wants. Pain laces up my palms.
"So, you would rather waste your career working for a halfwit like Bruce Wayne?"
I freeze for a second. This is what this is really about. Lex is jealous that I chose to work for Bruce. If it was anybody else, he could convince himself that I was downgrading, but I went to his direct competition. Thinking of the conversation I had with Bruce earlier, when nobody else is around Bruce has a strange intelligence in his mannerisms. In public, he had initially joked about not reading my research, yet once we were alone the intensity of his questions made me nervous. Considering his extracurricular activities, it's unsurprising that he would want to keep his persona lowkey. How did my job search end with watching the boys club battle it out?
"I will only say this once: My life is mine. What I choose to do is my decision. Say what you want about Mr. Wayne, but at least he respects my privacy." I growl ripping my hands out of his grasp. "Have a nice day Mr. Luthor."
Storming past the "Garden of Eden" display, I slam open the double doors. God.... Everyone there probably thinks I slept with him.

โ™• No Matter What - Part 13 | Lena Luthor โ™•
Tumblr media
Pairing: Lena Luthor x reader
Warnings: none
Previous Part | Next Part | Masterlist
________________________________________________
I sip my coffee at the kitchen island, rubbing the sleep from my eyes with my free hand.
Itโ€™s barely even six in the morning and Lena is still asleep in the bedroom.
After dinner last night, she wordlessly pulled me to bed with her and snuggled up to me.
It made my heart flip and I can no longer deny that I have utterly and irrevocably fallen in love with her, but we have yet to talk about where this thing between us is going.
I couldnโ€™t sleep any longer because my back hurt, so I got up and took some painkillers before making some coffee.
The rain has finally stopped, but the sky is still overcast, reflecting how Iโ€™m feeling inside. I stare into my mug and watch the dark liquid swirl around.
Lex canโ€™t get to Lena, that is one thing Iโ€™m sure of, I just donโ€™t know how to stop it from happening yet.
Then thereโ€™s also this whole thing with Harper. I know I said weโ€™d get coffee this upcoming week, but I honestly donโ€™t see that happening with everything thatโ€™s going on.
I take my phone off the kitchen island and send her a quick message, asking to postpone our get together.
She unsurprisingly replies almost instantly (weโ€™re both used to getting up this early), telling me not to worry and that sheโ€™ll be waiting for my message to reschedule.
I sigh and put the phone back down, tensing when a pair of arms wraps around my middle from behind.
โ€œYou okay?โ€ Lena mumbles against my uninjured shoulder and I sink back into her. โ€œWhy are you up this early?โ€
I place my hand over hers on my stomach and close my eyes, enjoining the warmth radiating from her. โ€œIโ€™m okay. Just couldnโ€™t sleep anymore,โ€ I say.
Lena sighs and lets me go, sitting on the stool next to mine. She eyes my coffee and I smile, pushing it toward her.
Itโ€™s not quite to her taste because I always add some sugar to it, but she doesnโ€™t complain when she takes a sip.
I watch her fondly, admiring the way her hair falls over her shoulders and how her eyes sparkle in the low light when they meet mine.
โ€œLook,โ€ she says, seemingly reading my mind. โ€œI know you want to talk about us and how we move forward. I really like you, Y/N. I do. . .But with my maniac of a brother on the loose and L Corpโ€™s stocks taking a hit because of it, Iโ€™m not in the right headspace to be in a relationship.โ€
I nod, but feel my heart drop. I understand what sheโ€™s saying but I canโ€™t help but feel like this isnโ€™t the only reason she doesnโ€™t want to start anything serious with me.
What if sheโ€™s having second thoughts? What if she thinks Iโ€™m not good enough? What if she regrets the kiss? No, that canโ€™t be. If that were the case, why would she still be this touchy?
My insecurities and doubt are getting the best of me, so I slip off the stool and get started on making breakfast.
โ€œY/N,โ€ Lena says with a sigh, obviously sensing the shift in my mood.
I hum in acknowledgment without turning around, keeping my eyes on the stove in front of me where I just cracked two eggs into a pan.
I really likeโ€” no, I love Lena and I know she feels similarly about me, but what if sheโ€™s never ready for a relationship. Sheโ€™s busy and booked almost 24/7 and there will always be something she has to deal with.
I honestly donโ€™t know where all of these thoughts and feelings are coming from, but I canโ€™t stop them from overwhelming me.
Iโ€™ve always been one to overthink, but not to this extent.
Lena likes me and all she said was that she canโ€™t currently be in a relationship, so why am I doubting it?
A hand on my lower back stops my mind from spiraling and when I turn around, I force a small smile.
Lena sees right through it and tilts her head to the side, her eyes softening. โ€œDonโ€™t do that, Y/N. I know whatโ€™s going on inside your head. I like you, a lot, and Iโ€™m not saying I canโ€™t imagine a future with you, because I can. Right now itโ€™s just not the right time though, but Iโ€™d like to try with you once this whole thing with Lex has been sorted. So, please. . . Wait for me? I know it might be too much to ask butโ€”โ€œ
I swallow my doubts and nod my head, cupping Lenaโ€™s jaw. โ€œOkay.โ€
Her eyes fill with hope and she raises her hands to hold onto my wrists, keeping my hands in place. โ€œAre you sure? Because Iโ€™d understand ifโ€”โ€œ
I bend down and press my lips against hers, effectively cutting her off.
Seems like Iโ€™m not the only one whoโ€™s overthinking.
Lena sighs and moves her hands to my hips, trying to deepen the kiss, but I pull back before she gets the chance.
The kiss was meant to shut her up and stop her rambling. I didnโ€™t intend for it to escalate.
A dissatisfied grumble leaves Lenaโ€™s lips and I canโ€™t help but smile and brush a loose dark curl behind her ear.
โ€œIโ€™m sure, but we should stop. Youโ€™re right. We should wait until this thing with your brother blows over,โ€ I explain and Lena sighs, knowing Iโ€™m right.
She leans into my touch and I bend down again to kiss her forehead before turning back to the stove.
She doesnโ€™t leave my side until the eggs and toast are ready to plate and we go to eat at the kitchen island.
Iโ€™m feeling better now, trusting that she means it when she says she wants to give us a chance, but I still feel like something is going to get in the way of it.
Whether itโ€™s her changing her mind, or something happening that neither of us could have for seen, I donโ€™t know.
I just have this gut feeling that wonโ€™t go away. The day Noah died, I also had a bad feeling when we came to a halt in the small village, but I didnโ€™t voice my concerns because there was nothing to back them up. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and everyone would have looked at me as though Iโ€™d gone crazy if I had called off the supply run, not to mention the villagers who relied on us.
โ€œMs. Luthor, did you helped your brother escape from prison?โ€
โ€œWhere is your brother now? Are you providing refuge for him?โ€
โ€œMs. Luthor, are the rumors true that you lied in court to get your brother sentenced for crimes you committed?โ€
I shove the last reporter out of the way and send him a dirty glare, ignoring his shout of protest when he goes down.
Lena is tucked beneath my arm hiding behind a pair of big sunglasses and if it werenโ€™t for her presence, I would have done much more than just shove that sorry excuse for a man.
After what feels like hours we finally manage to get to the car and Alfred opens the back door for us, working with some other security guards to keep the reporters at bay.
Lena gets in first and I pull the door shut behind us as soon as Iโ€™m in as well.
โ€œAre you okay?โ€ I ask immediately, noticing how she has yet to take off her sunglasses. She looks down and buries her shaky hands in her lap.
Alfred gets in the car and starts driving, leaving behind the shouting reporters and nosy passerby.
I put up the privacy screen and turn in my seat as I rech for Lenaโ€™s sunglasses. I gently pull them off her face and sigh when I see her watery eyes.
โ€œHey. . .โ€ I whisper, taking one of her hands to lace our fingers together. โ€œYou know that what theyโ€™re saying isnโ€™t true.โ€
She just blinks to get rid of her tears and bites her lower lip.
I only initiate this kind of contact when weโ€™re alone because weโ€™ve decided itโ€™s best for now if I keep on being her bodyguard.
We havenโ€™t kissed since that morning in my kitchen a week ago, which is for the best if Iโ€™m going to focus on my job, but I miss the taste and feel of her lips on mine.
We also havenโ€™t slept in the same bed since that night because Lena decided to move back into her own apartment after a rather heated argument.
She said it was safer now that her whereabouts at my apartment had come out, and I only reluctantly agreed when she suggested I temporarily move into her guest room.
That way, Iโ€™m around if something happens and we have the added security measures of all the cameras and motion sensors that she has installed .
So thatโ€™s where weโ€™re headed now after a long day at the office.
I squeeze Lenaโ€™s hand and bend down to catch her eyes. โ€œItโ€™s not true. Iโ€™ve said it before and Iโ€™ll say it again. You are not your brother and you are not responsible for his actions.โ€œ
โ€œY/Nโ€”โ€œ
โ€œNo, itโ€™s not true.โ€ I cut her off, knowing that she wants to pull the weโ€™re-related-so-his-actions-are-my-actions card.
Lena huffs and uses her free hand to wipe away her tears.
โ€œYouโ€™re nothing like him. Youโ€™re kind and compassionate and good, Lena. Please donโ€™t ever compare yourself to that monster.โ€
She stays silent, but I know I got through to her because she lets out a shaky breath and rests her head on my shoulder.
We stay like that until we get to her apartment and I help her out of the car before bidding Alfred a good night and thanking him for helping with the reporters.
The elevator ride up to the apartment is silent and as soon as we step inside, I get stared on making some dinner.
Lena heads into her bedroom, mumbling something about a shower, but I know that she just needs some space.
Itโ€™s been like this for a week now, Lenaโ€™s busy at work, she gets yelled at by reporters in the evening when we leave to go home and I cook dinner while she showers and calms down.
The fact that the police still havenโ€™t figured out how the security system was hacked into isnโ€™t helping either, so I try my best to be as much of a calming presence as I can be.
I chop some tomatoes for an easy pasta dish and get some water boiling, pouring a decent amount of salt into it before adding the dry pasta.
I sautรฉ the tomatoes in a pan, addinga little pasta water and some Parmesan rind before turning off the heat and letting the sauce simmer.
Lena emerges from her bedroom right as I sprinkle some chopped herbs into the sauce and a small smile pulls at her lips when she smells the food.
I noticed her eyes are red and puffy, but donโ€™t comment on it and strain the pasta over the sink.
โ€œYou know, I never thought you could cook like this,โ€ she says with a hint of amusement in her voice.
I smile and decide to play along to get her mind off Lex and what the reporters said earlier. โ€œNow, why would you think I canโ€™t cook?โ€ I ask, raising an eyebrow as I move to dump the pasta into the pan.
I swirl it around in the sauce before dividing it and putting it on two plates I set out earlier. I grab the Parmesan from the fridge and grate some, sprinkling it on both dishes.
โ€œI donโ€™t know,โ€ Lena admits with a chuckle. โ€œI just always thought your main source of nutrition came from protein shakes or something.โ€
I laugh out loud at that and grab the plates, going to the couch and sitting down. โ€œWhat?โ€
Lena blushes and tries to hide it by turning around to grab some wineglasses from the cupboard above the stove. โ€œI donโ€™t know, shut up. Iโ€™m not the one built like a linebacker.โ€
I laugh again and donโ€™t push her any further, accepting the glass of wine she holds out as soon as she joins me on the couch.
We eat in silence and while Lena seems to be feeling fine again, I still take notice of the dark circles under her eyes.
She hasnโ€™t been sleeping well, Iโ€™ve heard her waking from nightmares more often than not over the past couple of nights, and even though I always go to comfort her when it happens, she refuses to ask me to stay the way sheโ€™s done before.
It makes my heart hurt, but Iโ€™ve come to realize that itโ€™s her way of protecting herself. Sheโ€™s distancing herself from me because we canโ€™t be together just yet.
โ€œYou liked it?โ€ I ask softly when Lena sets her empty plate down on the coffee table a few minutes later.
She nods and smiles genuinely, taking a sip of her wine before leaning back against my shoulder. โ€œI like everything you make.โ€
Itโ€™s my turn to blush now and I try to hide it by taking a sip of my own wine.
The rest of the night is filled with small talk and soft laughs until Lena falls asleep with a soft smile on her lips.
I melt at how cute she looks and carefully pick her up and take her to bed. She snuggles into the covers and when Iโ€™m about to leave I notice that sheโ€™s clutching something to her chest that she didnโ€™t have a few seconds ago.
Itโ€™s the sweatshirts I thought Iโ€™d lost in my temporary move. She must have had it stuffed underneath her pillow to hide it from me and the realization that she cuddles it while sleeping makes my stomach tingle.
I leave her bedroom with a dopey grin and go back to the living room. I clean everything and make sure all the lights are turned off before retreating to my own room.
โ€œY/N, come on! Why are you holding out on me?โ€ Sam whines and I reach forward, pinching her cheek.
โ€œOh my God, why are you so loud?! Do you want Lena to hear you?โ€ I hiss, looking around in fear.
Sam slaps my hand away and punches my shoulder. โ€œSheโ€™s getting coffee. She wonโ€™t be back for another few minutes,โ€ she argues and I roll my eyes, knowing sheโ€™s right.
Weโ€™re in Lenaโ€™s office and Sam stopped by to drop off some files, but when she saw me, she decided to stay for a little chat.
Lena used it as an excuse to finally take a break and go to get some coffee, declining my offer to get one for her.
โ€œSo?โ€ Sam prompts again and I glance at the door to make sure itโ€™s closed before giving in.
โ€œFine, we kissed when she stayed at my place, but weโ€™re not going to start anything until this whole thing with Lex has been sorted,โ€ I reveal.
Sam squeals with excitement and her eyes light up. โ€œI knew it! You two are perfect for each other,โ€ she says, giggling like a little kid.
I feel my neck heat up and turn to look at the city through the floor to ceiling windows. โ€œShut up. Weโ€™re not even together,โ€ I argue weekly but Samโ€™s not having it.
โ€œYet. . .โ€ she says teasingly, before adding, โ€œSo, how was the kiss? Was there any under the shirt action?โ€
I whirl around and stare at her incredulously. โ€œSam! Jesus, no! It was just a kiss.โ€
Complete unfazed, Sam just shrugs and continues to ask, โ€œWell, was it good?โ€
I open my mouth, ready to snap again, but then I remember the actual kiss and canโ€™t help but smile dumbly. โ€œIโ€” Yeah. It was amazing.โ€
Samโ€™s eyes glint happily and she pulls me in for a hug. โ€œAhhh, Iโ€™m so happy for you. And I canโ€™t wait until itโ€™s official. You guys will make such a power couple.โ€
I laugh at that and tickle her playfully so she releases me from her hold. โ€œThanks, Sammy.โ€
โ€œWhat did I miss?โ€
I turn to find Lena entering her office with a confused smile. Sheโ€™s holding her coffee in one hand and an envelope in the other.
Her dark hair is pinned up in a neat bun and like all morning, I once again have to force myself to keep my eyes on her face and not on the lower half of her body because the snug pencil skirt sheโ€™s wearing highlights all her curves perfectly.
โ€œOhโ€”Uh, nothing,โ€ I stutter and if our behavior wasnโ€™t suspicious before it definitely is now.
โ€œOkayyy,โ€ Lena drawls and glances between Sam and I before shrugging and returning to her chair.
Sam winks at me when Lena isnโ€™t looking and we chat a little longer before she excuses herself and leaves.
I return to my spot on the couch, pulling out my phone to do some scheduling for the gym.
I donโ€™t even manage to log into my online account though before Lena gasps, earning my full attention.
โ€œWhat is it?โ€ I ask, seeing her with her eyes trained on the letter in her hand.
It must be what was in the envelope and when she doesnโ€™t answer I get up and round her desk to look at what sheโ€™s reading.
Dearest sisterโ€”
I donโ€™t get a chance to read much more before Lena slams the paper down on her desk. She jumps to her feet and starts breathing rapidly.
โ€œHey hey hey,โ€ I say quickly, putting my hands on her shoulders. โ€œWhat is it? I know itโ€™s from Lex, but what does he want?โ€
Lenaโ€™s wild eyes find mine and when I see the horror reflected in them, I feel my stomach drop. โ€œHe wants me to retract the testimony I gave at his trial.โ€
________________________________________________
Again, a little bit of a filler, but itโ€™s necessary for the next part.
I promise itโ€™s going to be worth the wait.

The rain was soft, soft enough to keep a window open for Y/n to breath in the fresh rain smell.
She pulled her heavy, tierd, body off the bed. Rubbing her eyes, she leaned onto the windowsill and listen to the extra angry drivers on the road below.
Y/n's apartment was on the third floor of a 5 story apartment building. Beautifully snuggled in the middle with just enough hight to see a sunset or two when their there.
She takes a deep breath filling her lungs with a well deserved breather, until a very unexpected headache hit her.
A familiar one she'd had before along with a harsh beeping in her head. Loud enough to tone out the rain and hone in on the loud noise.
She grits her teeth and pinches her temple hard feeling her whole body rumble though the piercing headache.
"Y/n?"
Clark's voice comes from behind her and thw headache suddenly stops.
She turns back to see him hesitantly push the door open with his arm. He held two cups of coffee in his hands and wore only some light blue pajama pants.
Without his shirt, Y/n could see his built torso and broad shoulders. She'd never realized how incredibly buff he was underneath that button up shirt and jacket he wore most of the time.
She smiled seeing the glasses he wore slip off his nose only for him to push it back up with the back of his wrist.
"I made some coffee. Can I come in?"
His polite voice instantly evaporated the headache Y/n had brewing in her skull.
"Yeah! Come in."
She bit her lip trying to avoid stareing at his chest and biceps before delicately taking the cup.
Clark had stayed with her the night before to keep an eye on her, aswell as give her some piece of mind.
"Was the couch ok?" Y/n asked leaning onto the windowsill.
Clark nodded before sitting on the foot of the bed. For some people it would be strange having a friend join them for a morning coffee in their bedroom. But for Y/n and Clark they were comfortable enough in each other's presence to share a rainy morning together.
"How are you feeling? Did your hand start bleeding again?"
Y/n lifted her palm to look at the fading scar.
"No? Honestly, I'm surprised it healed up so fast? It's almost Super!"
Clark suddenly chokes on his sip of coffee before regaining composure.
Y/n starts laughing a little before squinting.
"What? Did I say something funny?"
"No! No! Just hot coffee!" he quickly makes up an excuse.
Clark looked at Y/n's worried face for a second before sending a comforting smile her way.
She blushes a little and looks away.
"So! I was thinking about this whole story. The acidic blood? Hallucinations? There's gotta be something big! If Joker is behind this, why not just use Joker venom again? Then two other villains toxins! So I've been looking into other Gotham villains with toxic traits? Then there was.. "
Clark listens to every word Y/n says, absorbing every thought her brain has. But at the same time he couldn't help looking at her figure, a beautiful figure that expressed itself with every passionate movement as Y/n explained.
This moment is unfortunately ruined when Clark's ears pick up a scream across the city. A car crash that lead to a pile up.
He knew as superman he had the responsibility to run off and save the rainy day.
He puts the coffee down and stands up suddenly.
"Clark?" Y/n questions.
He walks over to her and pushes hairs from her forehead. With a warm smile he leans down to her level and places a kiss on her head.
"Hold that thought, I'll go grab us some things from the store and we'll talk over pancakes."
He rushes out the door closing it behind him, leaving Y/n flattered but a little confused at the sudden rush.
"Geuss he was hungry?" she said tracing over the spot on her head where Clark had kissed.
She chuckled and finished her coffee quick.
"I think a shower would be good while he's at the store!"
Taking a towel from the cupboard she walks to the bathroom. Opening the tap, the warm water rushes through the pipes to make a comfortable hissing shower.
Y/n growls still feeling the headache threatening to rush into her brain again.
"Damn! I really need to ask Bats about this. It's getting really loud!"
She blinks a little and steps into a warm shower feeling the water fall over her face.
The warmth of the shower was calming in the cold rainy weather. Her thoughts were finally quiet.
Until her lips twist into a smile and she could feel the water turn heavy.
With an uncontrolled chuckle surprising her, she quickly holds her mouth shut.
"Not again!"
She opens her eyes slowly to see black liquid coming from the shower head. A black liquid filling up the shower floor and holding her feet stead fast.
"Ok! Ok! Breath!" she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes again.
"It's not real! It's not-" she repeated only for a laugh to once again force it's way out of her throat.
She clenches her teeth but the laughing keeps coming until she's finally on her knees holding her head. A spiral of laughter and a ear piercing ringing in her head.
โ—‹โ—‹โ—‹
Superman carried two small boys in his arms and flew over the heap of cars to a crying mother.
"Here! Now go to the paramedics to get checked out!" he ushers them on.
The mother pushes the boys into a stiff hug and thanks superman for his help.
He quickly flew back to the cars and lifted the top one off the pile, placing it right side up on the side of the road.
One by one he lifted before reaching a man hiding in the back seat of a cab. Finally seeing Superman, he is yanked out of the cars and set down on safe ground for paramedics to carry him off on a stretcher.
Using X-ray vision he scans for any other survivers before nodding to the police officers.
"That's everyone! Any other accidents that the paramedics can't get to?"
One of the older officers pushes a button on the walkie talkie buttoned onto his shoulder. He listens for a few seconds before confirmed.
"The rain is picking up! We have another accident on Main street! People forget how to drive when it rains!"
Superman nods.
"On it!"
A sudden sonic boom as he flys off reaching the next accident. A car ran into a fire hydrant and another flipped onto its back.
It's been hours. And Superman was flying through heavy rain to get to all the accidents with car crashes and people slipping from high un-railed rooftops.
Once he could catch a breath the sun had set, but the thick clouds covered the city in a gray darkness.
"Superman!" a dark voice appears on Superman's comm.
He was floating above the city looking over it for anything else he could get to.
"I'm here."
"Good! Are you with the Reporter?"
Superman clenches his teeth and immediately he's flying towards Y/n's apartment.
"No, why?"
Batman's voice is stern.
"The notes she made, gave me some insight to what she was feeling. The ringing she could hear made me do a MRI, scan of the blood sample and I found something worrying."
Superman's speed increases as he does stiff turns around buildings causing the rain to part out of his way and windows to shake. He listened intently as Batman explained.
"A nano-bot. Small robots in the blood stream, from its shape it's built to latch onto a specific type of skin tissue. Brain tissue."
Superman finally lands on the apartment fire escape and rushes through the open window.
"The beeping she described was the nano-bot's getting a signal from somewhere, someone. There's only one person who could develop this kind of intelligent technology, Lex Luthor."
Superman looks through the apartment rushing into Y/n's room seeing her in the corner facing the wall.
Heavy breathing, soft chucking as she hits her head with her palm. She was dressed in a sweater and sweatpants, but shampoo still in her hair and no shoes.
Superman is quick with super speed grabbing her hand stopping her from hitting herself.
"Y/n! Stop, look at me!"
In a string of crescendoing laughter she turns her head to look at superman.
Her eyes were no longer their normal color, instead it was a foggy green with the pupil barely visible.
"Hello Superman." she says with a horrific smile grabbing onto superman's arm.
With a sudden strength she swings superman over her shoulder and he crashes through the brick wall.
Superman is caught off guard just long enough for Y/n to stand straight and drag her nails across the palm of her own hand.
Just before the cement dust could settle Y/n jumps right at superman still three stories high latching onto his body.
With a terrifying smile she pushes her bloody palm down on Superman's cheek causing him to pull away.
"Y/N!" He yells at her watching her fall with a crash into the street below.
Superman grunts in pain feeling a sizzling pain on his face. Pealing away layer by layer superman's cheek turns bloody. Y/n's blood, burns Superman's skin? The man of steel! The superman!
He flies down and lands on the street, to see what had become of Y/n, only to watch her lift her broken body to a stand.
Her bones snapping back into place and wounds healing back up. Clothes ripped but she stood strong enough to laugh a little more.
The blood that remained from her devastating fall had burned through the concrete road until it hit the dirt deep beneath it.
Superman was dumbfounded, but at his sizzling face healed he sped his way towards Y/n giving her a bear hug.
"Y/n! Listen to me! Snap out of it!"
Y/n struggled in his grip kicking and pushing her bloody palm against superman's torso but he didn't budge.
"Ugh! Batman! She's not responding!"
With a second to think. Y/n bites down on her bottom lip suddenly before spitting the blood right into superman's face.
Superman, not used to any pain let's go of her and pulls back. He holds his eye feeling it sizzle and burn.
Y/n runs towards him and kicks superman's side with added inhumane strength. Superman blocks with his forearms and grabs her leg.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, Y/n!"
Not responding Y/n twists her body enough to get out of Superman's grip, just in time for superman's eye to heal back up.
Y/n smirks with fists clenched and her body pushes off the ground going full speed towards superman who bases himself for a another blow.
"That's enough." a voice in Y/n's head says and suddenly her eyes gloss over back to their original color.
She hits Superman's chest with full force then stumbles back.
Her hand quickly covers her nose and she yells in pain.
"Ugh! Holy cheese crackers!"
She slowly looks up at Superman still standing sted fast infront of her causing her to panic.
"What the hell! What happened!" she panics in a muffled voice.
Superman is still cautious but delicately helps her to her feet.
"Your name?"
"Huh?"
"Whats your name?" Superman asks eagerly.
Y/n lifts an eyebrow and pulls her hand away from her nose.
"Y/n L/n."
Still confused she looks around. The road beneath her bare feet broken into bits. Like a wrecking ball was dropped by accident.
A hole in her apartment walll with loose bricks still dropping and loose bits of debris.
There was blood dripping from her nose, knuckles, hands and from cuts on her body.
Her hand delicately moves to her throat and again new claw marks shocked her.
She looks superman dead in the eyes and tries to hold back the lump in her throat that wanted to cause a breakdown.
"Call Batman."
Superman watches her movements, listens to her heartbeat picking up and smelling the salt in her tears.
Not far down the street, a small drone hovers with silent propellers.
Watching Y/n and Superman through the drone camera, in a dark room was Lex Luthor.
His fingers braided together as he watched the screen intently. His office high up in the Lex corp building seemed like the least conspicuous place.
His suit neat and tidy, only for a laughing Joker to stumble his way beside Lex.
"Oh~ why'd you stop! It was just starting to get fun!"
Lex pushes Joker off him and growls.
"This was only a test. We know the Multi-Serum works. And along with the Nano-bots, we can trigger a weapon any time we'd like."
Joker clenches his teeth.
"You said we'd pit Batsy and Superman against each other! Not this pathetic girl!"
Lex walks over to a pin board in the room with many pictures of Y/n and files dedicated to her history pinned onto it.
"Perhaps we got a stroke of luck. Superman would be much less willing to fight an innocent. In the process of trying to save her, she could kill him when his guard is down."
He smirks tracing photo of Y/n with the back of his curled finger.
"This... Y/n, is perfect. She's my best creation-"
"Ehem! Our creation." The voice of Scarecrow objects.
Looking to the side, Lex looked at Scarecrow on the couch with a horrific mask on.
He chuckles and corrects himself.
"Yes, our creation."

Love and Neighbors
Clark Kent x Reader Chapters AO3
36- Mr. Wayne
Clark could hardly get out two words to call your name when he saw you amongst the other partygoers, standing out since no one could compare to the kind of beauty you had. You were laughing with none other than Bruce Wayne, deep in conversation about how incompetent Lex Luthor was. Just like you had heard his heartbeat quicken, you turned to look at him, your smile getting wider. Bruce noticed him at the same time, turning to say something to you momentarily before he motioned for Clark to come over.ย 
Blushing at the realization heโ€™d just been staring at you and started to make his way over, apologizing to all the people he had to brush past. Bruce clapped him on the shoulder, giving you one of those award-winning Brucie Wayne smiles that had all the women and papers dying to see.
โ€œClark, how come you didnโ€™t introduce me to your friend sooner?โ€ Just by the tone of his voice, the reporter could tell that the cheerful charisma act was in full effect.ย 
Chuckling awkwardly, he said, โ€œI think weโ€™ve both been busy with ourโ€ฆother jobs.โ€
You leaned forward, adding, โ€œEither way, it is nice to finally meet Clarkโ€™s best friend.โ€
Bruce turned to Clark with a shit-eating grin before exclaiming, โ€œBesties! Thatโ€™s right.โ€
Your boyfriend had told you all about Batman, how he had the hardest exterior for one of the softest members of the Justice League. The Batman you had heard of through newspapers and TV was violent and intimidating. It was one of the reasons that when Clark had come to you with the offer of going to a Wayne gala you were immediately nervous.ย 
When Bruce first found you, you were surprised to learn how nice he was. He seemed interested in you, asking you questions about yourself, personally and professionally. The number of questions he had seemed like he was scoping you out for something, but you werenโ€™t entirely turned away from it. Happily, you answered them, knowing that it was more than likely for Clarkโ€™s sake.ย 
โ€œYou have to come to Wayne Manor one day, for dinner or something,โ€ Bruce said, sparing a glance at Clark. โ€œItโ€™ll be nice to get to know each other more personally.โ€
You grinned. โ€œThat sounds great, Mr. Wayne.โ€
โ€œCall me Bruce, please,โ€ He leaned back and seemingly noticed someone across the room. โ€œNow, youโ€™ll have to excuse me, I see a beautiful woman over there that looks a bit lonely.โ€
As he slinked away and you leaned forward to press a chaste kiss to Clarkโ€™s lips. โ€œI expected him to be a lot more of an asshole.โ€
Your boyfriend snickered, โ€œHe can be, but heโ€™s still one of the greatest people I know.โ€
You nodded, looking across the room to see Bruce Wayne practically hanging off a woman in all black. Mr. Wayne was blubbering about something to the woman, pretending to be more drunk than he really was, and acting like a complete fool amongst the partygoers who stared whiled snickering.ย 
โ€œHeโ€™s the greatest person you know?โ€

The Secret Life Of Lena Luthor
Supergirl. Lena Luthor x Reader!
Word Count: 2785.
Lena Luthor has a secret. Probably many of them, but thereโ€™s only one that bugs you so much.
Who are those friends of her? Why are they so tight that you feel like they are in some sort of cult? Why does it look like she would die for them? And how come they are always more important than you?
You see, the last one's been bothering you for a while now.
Some time last year.
The world is saved. Again. For the third time this month. And while Lena sits to celebrate with her friends/ teammates she is content. A kind of feeling she hasnโ€™t experienced much before, but thatโ€™s been constant ever since the big fight. Ever since Lex is gone gone.
She looks at Jโ€™onn and Mโ€™gann reminiscing about something from their planet. Looks at Alex and Kelly swooning over something cute she is sure Esmรฉ just did. Nia looks at Brainy as if he is the most interesting being and all of existence. All of them have somebody. Well, she looks at Kara alone. But Kara is never truly alone. She has Supergirl. All these people around her and the people she met in different universes.
But Lena? Outside of this room she barely has anyone. Sam, Ruby, Jess. She scrambles to find more names.
So Lena looks around, more certain than sheโ€™s ever been before. She needs someone. Someone outside this group of friends, so she can get back some sort of normality she most certainly lost since she discovered her witchy ancestry and joined the super friends for real.
And then Lena finds you.ย 
You run through the door of the Lena Luthor Foundation, and since she wants to be more hands on with everything, Lena is right there to see it.
โ€œDo you, um, take strays?โ€
โ€œStrays, maโ€™am?โ€ The receptionist asks, raising one perfect eyebrow at you. โ€œYou mean like, cats?โ€
โ€œWhat? No! I mean me.โ€ You smile widely. โ€œI mean, do you take walk-ins? Like, can I just walk in and find myself a station and start working?โ€
โ€œOh. Ah.โ€ She looks around for help. Unsure of what to tell you. And because Lena herself is around, she jumps in to help.
โ€œHi.โ€ Lena shows you her hand. โ€œLena Luthor. How can I help you,โ€ she looks at both of your hands. No ring. โ€œMiss?โ€
โ€œY/N.โ€ You introduce yourself, shaking her hand.ย 
โ€œYou want to work on something?โ€
โ€œWell, you see, I have this idea. Itโ€™s really bugging me and keeping me awake at night.โ€ You point at your own face. โ€œIโ€™m sure you can tell. But I donโ€™t have everything I need to work on it. It says online itโ€™s what this foundation is for.โ€
โ€œWell, we donโ€™t work on everything. Our resources are vast but still limited. Thereโ€™s a board. If you want to present your idea.โ€ Lena suggests and you shake your head agreeing, then just like that youโ€™re running out of there as fast as you came in. She looks back at the receptionist with a smile. โ€œStrange little cat, that one.โ€
You donโ€™t give her time to move on from you at all, when you run back in. A prototype in hand, and several loose papers on the other.ย 
โ€œOk, Iโ€™m ready.โ€ You smile at her and she furrows her brows.
โ€œOh, I didnโ€™t mean right now.โ€
โ€œPlease, maโ€™am. I need to sleep.โ€ And to demonstrate, only one of your eyes blink. She seems to take pity on you.
โ€œWell then, come in. Letโ€™s see what I can do for you. And please, call me Lena.โ€ย 
And what she can do for you, is help you with every little thing you need help with. And what you can do for her, is help her see thereโ€™s more to life than work and a few friends.
Present days.
โ€œYouโ€™re running off.โ€ You mumble. Eyes still shut, voice thick with sleep.ย 
โ€œEmergency. Sorry, my love.โ€ You hear shuffling so you know she is getting ready to run off to her super secret, super important duties.
โ€œWhat is it this time?โ€ You finally open your eyes and watch her putting her clothes back on. โ€œKara got stuck on a tree and you have to go get her down?โ€
โ€œOh no, my pretty stray cat. I only climb trees to save your pretty butt.โ€ She jokes, coming closer to kiss your lips.ย 
โ€œLena.โ€ You beg when she moves away from you. โ€œPlease stay. Please wake up with me. Please let me make you eggs and a strong coffee.โ€
โ€œThat would be lovely.โ€ You open your mouth to repeat, stay. But she knows itโ€™s coming, so she speaks before you. โ€œCanโ€™t today. Rain check?โ€
You press your lips together, annoyed at her way to deal with this. But she doesnโ€™t notice, because sheโ€™s already running out the door one shoe on, the other one still in hand.
โ€œHave a great day, Lena.โ€ย 
You donโ€™t want to be jealous of Kara. Youโ€™re not even the jealous type. But this whole โ€˜my friends call and I run out the doorโ€™ is not working anymore. Not that it ever did. But recently this has been bugging you extra hard.
And when things bug you this much, you canโ€™t simply forget that easily. You can't even sleep on it.
"Heeey," Lena grabs the bags from your hands, giving you a quick kiss on your way inside. "glad you came, I felt bad leaving you this morning."
"Yeah." You place the rest of the bags on top of the counter. "Maybe we should talk about that."
"Definitely. But after a nice dinner, maybe?" She gives you a little smile, and you're quick to accept.ย 
The talk doesn't come right after dinner, when Lena climbs on your lap and you two start a heavy make out session, you decide it is better to wait a little.ย 
"Shit. Fuck." Lena says out of breath, parting your lips. You look down at your hands still on her waist.
"What? Already?"ย 
"No, not that." Lena laughs, and you notice something vibrating in her pants.ย 
"Oh," You raise your eyebrows playfully. "Someone's packing."
Lena takes her phone out of her pocket, and you roll your eyes at it. She reads the name, and starts apologizing right away. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She gets up looking at the phone.
"Are you serious?" You ask, but she is already answering her phone after mouthing one more 'sorry'.
"Kara, I'm in the middle of something really important. This better be a 10 or higher." She paces around the room and you watch her from your place on the couch. "Shit, ok. Ask Supergirl to come pick me up. Yeah, ok. See you soon."
Lena looks at you with pleading eyes, and you look up trying to hold the tears and the anger inside you. "Darling, I'm really sorry, but it's an โ€“"
"Emergency." You complete her sentence and her face drops, looking at you.
"I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I know I did the exact same thing this morningโ€ฆ"
"This morning? Lena! You've been running off every time Kara called you ever since I've met you! I don't get it. What's up with all these emergencies? Why is Kara always more important than us?"
Supergirl's feet touch on the balcony and you hear a light tap on the balcony door. She looks embarrassed, like she heard more than she wanted to. She waves lightly and points to the city with her head, so Lena knows it's time to go.
"I promise I'll tell you everything, but I really have to go now."
โ€œIf you leave right now, you wonโ€™t find me here when you get back.โ€
โ€œNo, please Y/N. Please wait. Iโ€™ll tell you everything when I get home, I promise. Please stay, eat dessert, and make yourself at home. I promise Iโ€™ll be back soon.โ€
So you wait. An hour. Two hours. Three hours later and youโ€™ve seen enough of television, eaten enough of her food and got tired of wasting everyone's time. It is clear Lena doesn't take you seriously and that you'll never be her first priority. So you leave.
It's only in the morning when you grab your phone to notice the missing calls and texts from yourโ€ฆ girlfriend? Ex? You haven't decided yet. But if you're being honest things aren't looking too hot for her.
Lena has helped you many times before. You have no problem admitting you are where you are right now because of her. If your invention hadn't played out, you wouldn't have found a new job and you wouldn't be working on something you are very passionate about.ย 
But she means more than that to you. With Lena you can talk about anything. You can be your quirky self without any judgements. In fact, you always thought she seemed to appreciate it. Now, you're not so sure.
She's always hiding something. Always running off. One phone call and she is gone. No time to even tell you what she is running towards. You feel like you're dating someone who has a secret life. And you can't help but think you're the secret part.ย 
You're still finding energy to answer her latest text, when you hear the doorbell. You force yourself out of bed, and open the door to see Lena right on the other side.
You furrow your brows, "What are you wearing?"
Lena stares down at her outfit, a large hoodie and sweatpants. "I was fairly uncomfortable in my jeans and so Kara let me borrow something." She looks at the hem of the pants. "She is a lot taller."
"Glad you came to my house wearing some other girl's clothes." You make space for her, because you know she is not leaving and you don't want to have this conversation out in the open.
"It's Kara's." She justifies.
"Yeah, and who's Kara, exactly? Is she just your best friend? Is she your lover? Your dealer? Your boss? Why are you always running out the door when she calls?"
"Those are fair questions. Well, not the dealer and lover part. But I guess I should explain why I always go when she calls.โ€
You look at your coffee machine. It's too early for this conversation. For the truths you'll inevitably have to listen.
"Coffee?" You ask her, but it's mostly because you need it so badly.
"I'd die for a cup."ย 
You set up the coffee machine while Lena makes her way to the other side of the counter, sitting on one of the high stools to look at you.ย 
"I'm sorry I didn't come back home sooner." Lena starts, and you sigh.
"I stood there like a ghost and I don't even know why."
"I don't want to run off every time, it's just โ€“ Sometimes I'm the only one who can help so they call me." You stand there waiting for more, for an explanation. "I told Kara to only call me for real emergencies from now on."
"You know, you said a bunch of stuff, but you still haven't told me what kind of emergencies they need you for."ย 
You're not stupid, it's not like you haven't put two and two together. Supergirl shows up to pick up Lena right after Kara calls for an emergency? Yeah, like they have Supergirl on their speed dial so she can offer Lift services when one of them needs it. It's obvious Lena is a part of a group that helps National City or whatever. It was actually kind of obvious because every time she ran off for an 'emergency', you only had to turn on the news to see something crazy happening in town.
"I'm a part of the Superfriends." She bites her lower lip when you don't show any real reaction. "It's supposed to be a secret."
"Lena, Supergirl showed up at your house yesterday to give you a ride. It wasn't a well-kept secret, anyways."
"Wait, so. You knew?" Lena's voice comes out so shocked it's in a high pitch you have never heard before.
"Had my suspicions, sure." The conversation is briefly put to a stop while you pour coffee for both of you, but even before you have your first sip, Lena speaks.
"I don't understand why you are mad at me then. If you knew all along what I was doing, how could you be mad? How could you think Kara is something other than my friend?"
"Well, first of all, I had my suspicions, but not convictions because you never told me anything so I could've been completely off. And second of all, I didn't know all along. I had to go slowly piecing it together by myself because you wouldn't come out and be honest with me. And third, and most importantly, how can I not be mad when you left me high and dry at your place last night and ran off with Kara again?"ย 
"Nia was hurt! I had to go help out. How could I not have run out?"
"That's not what I'm saying. You don't get it, do you?" She doesn't. She looks at you so damn lost you know for sure she doesn't get it at all. "I'm not telling you shouldn't go help your friends. I'm asking you to just tell me about it. Don't tell me that you have to go because you have an emergency. Tell me Nia is hurt and I will tell you to go help her, I'll offer you my help. I not only won't be upset about you leaving, but I'll admire you even more."
You round the counter, looking at her with doe-eyes.ย 
"I'm tired of this double-life. It's like you're two different people. I โ€“ I don't know what to tell you, I just feel like I'm dating a CIA agent who's been lying to me about who she is. And it sucks."
Lena blinks. "I know." Because she didn't even realize what she was doing in the first place, but now that you have laid all on the table for her, it makes more sense than ever. She felt the same thing before and she can't believe she's been doing the same thing. "God, I know how you feel. And I'm sorry I kept you in the dark. You have every reason to be upset. Please forgive me. I promise I will be completely honest from now on."
"That's all I'm asking."
"Well," Lena looks at your coffee mug to see you didn't have much of it. "Why don't you drink some more? I feel like you'd have to be pretty awake for what I have to say next."
"Ohโ€ฆkay?" You gulp on your coffee and look at her wide-eyed.
"Well, it's complicated. But, more than a year ago, before we met, I set out to find more things about my mother." Lena says and you agree with your head, because she has told you before all of her story and the fact that she lost her mom when she was younger. "It turns out that my mother was a witch."
"Huh?"
She takes a deep breath. "And so am I."ย 
"You're a what, now?"
"You wanted the whole truth." Lena smiles sheepish and you furrow your brows hard at your new discovery. Yep, you didn't see this one coming. Honestly, if she had told you Kara was Supergirl, you would've been a lot less surprised.
"I did, didn't I?" It's a lot to process, but you take one good look at Lena and you know it took everything in her to tell you this, and so, even though you don't truly understand what it means and what she does exactly, you know she needs support right now. "So my girlfriend is a witch and a genius and she is part of the Superfriends, and helps out with saving the world and stuff?"
"I guess you could put it like that." She says, tentatively.
"You're awesome, Lena. I'm happy you told me everything. It helps me understand you a lot better, and it only makes me love you more."
Lena's eyebrows raise and she can't help her surprised face, "You love me?"
"Yeah, I do. I love you."
"I love you too, my little stray cat."
You feel your worries melt away in the kiss and you're happy Lena trusts you enough to tell you about this other part of her life. It also feels good to know her secret and where she runs off to everytime. Plus, how did you get so lucky? She's hot, she's smart, she's a goddamn goddess and she also saves the world? She is more than you could ever dream, and youโ€™re so glad she is yours.

Okay so there's this specific genre of fics about the Yandere batfamily x neglected!Reader that I'm obsessing over and basically, reader joins the family unexpectedly, usually a long lost kid from an old fling of Bruce's, and it's wonderfully angsty as the batfamily is so caught up in their own shit they inadvertently ignore/neglect the reader, the isolation is bad because they don't show her their vigilante life, so she's just sees it as some secret family club she isn't good enough to be in, they're always together and talking in hushed whispers about their patrol's, it's hard not to feel like an outsider, the tension is high throughout the years as she sees them act so lovingly towards each other but so indifferent towards her, and then something happens, (reader gets hurt, tries to run away, is kidnapped ECT) and then the batfam's yandere tendencies kick into high gear and they try to fix their severely damaged relationship, lawd I love this concept so much if I write it I'll be tagging the works that inspired me bec everyone should read them omg, anyway I love how jarring it must be once that switch happens, how all of a sudden reader is getting the attention and love she wanted for years, only now she doesn't need it, she's a grown independent woman who's only ever had herself to rely on, after all when you grow up in the shade of such a tight knit family, always on the outside looking in, it tends to make you self sufficient.
I have a few ideas for this concept, one where reader is incredibly smart and after years of fighting for an ounce of affection, gives up on the Batfamily, gets an internship at Lexcorp because Lex recognized her brilliance, he becomes a Yandere for her shortly after reading over her file, because the thought of Yandere!batfam begging for readers attention and affection after years of indifference towards her only to have her seek comfort in a villainous man like Lex Luthor is tew tasty.
My other idea for this concept is the same set up only Reader notices what the family is up to, quickly putting together that her father is Batman and that everyone in the house is a vigilante, she's 17/18 at this point and still desperate to belong to this family so she starts training, going to local gyms and picking fights so she can get used to getting the shit kicked out of her, no one notices her absences, no one but Alfred, he catches her limping in at some ungodly hour, blood seeping through her shirt, a needle and thread in one hand as she clumsily tries to stitch herself up, he asks her what happened, not expecting the most demure and quiet member of the family in this state, she tells him in an empty voice, "Doesn't matter." And Alfred is taken aback by the coldness in her eyes. He of course reports this to Bruce after patching her up, and he shrugs it off, "If she was in some kind of trouble she'd say something." Bruce is certain, sure he hadn't yet truly bonded with his daughter but he was sure he had time to, after all he was a man with the world on his shoulders and a plethora of other people who he felt needed his attention more, (y/n) never gave him problems, she kept to herself and was so self sufficient he felt comfortable putting her on the back burner, years go by and now 23, reader has shaped herself into a proper vigilante, her fighting style is raw, pure anger in her punches, she takes care of Gotham, sure she's not fighting world ending threats, but she's saving people, helping, it's helped to fill the void in her chest where her family's love was supposed to go, the batfamily knows about this new vigilante but know nothing about them, the suit reader wears is tactical that hides everything about her identity, not sure how but she gets unmasked/ hurt and unmasked and they find out, cue Yandere Batfamily.
