Taxes, Taxes, Taxes-Chapter 3

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Kara Danvers, Clark Kent, Samantha Arias, Lena Luthor

Summary: What if superheroes had to pay a property damage tax every time they had a fight in the city?

Chapter 1, Chapter 2

Kara was seated across from Lena in her office. They were both just staring at each other with Samantha looking at them nervously from the other side of the room. It felt like they were in a never ending don’t blink challenge except that it had only been just a few minutes. Lena’s startled stare from early had turned icy. Kara had to admit to herself that Lena was impressive. The girl exuded confidence and intimidation with her stare, but it wasn’t enough to scare Kara off. She just kept giving her brightest smile while she waited. After another 2 minutes, Lena blinked, sighed, and shook her head. Kara had to stifle the chuckle that threaten to come out of her mouth. 

I may be able to wear her down just yet.

“Why are you here, Supergirl?”

“As I was telling your co-worker over there, I am here to volunteer for the hospital. I saw that you needed people to interact with the….”

Lena shook her head and said, “No, No. No. Don’t give me that professional bullshit! Why are you really here?”

The raven haired beauty leaned forwarded in her chair with her eyes issuing a challenge. 

Ah, she can be insightful. But would she be receptive to my true motives though?

“Honestly, I would like to use this opportunity to set myself apart from the one you called if I remembered correctly, a pompous jackass.”

“I knew I should have paid extra to have this whole office sound proof,” Lena muttered. 

Kara chuckled to herself. Lena was proving herself to be more and more interesting. She just wished she could be completely honest with her. It wasn’t quite a lie that she told her. She hated constantly being compared to the golden child that is her cousin. At least that is what the public believes. They already established a narrative in the papers that she was not only his cousin but that she was younger than him and had took her in like she was some poor defenseless child. 

If only they knew that I am not only technically older, but had to change that bumbling idiots diapers. 

“Some would see this as some type of ploy given our families history,” mused Lena. 

Hmmm, not taking the original statement. Going to have to push just a bit harder.

“I do see your point, but I think this can be an opportunity to help each other.”

Lena narrowed her eyes and scoffed. 

“And how exactly is that?”

Kara smiled brightly and said, “I did a quick research on this hospital last night. You poured a good portion of your money into this place to create state of the art equipment to provide the best quality of care for the children here. However, you have no investors to keep the cash flow coming. Several papers have done hit pieces which suggest you are working with Lex at the hospital in order to experiment on kids.”

“Which are all lies!”

Kara smirked and said, “I know that, but the public needs help with figuring that out.”

“What do you suggest?”

“I propose a partnership between the both of us. You can use photos and videos of me interacting with the kids at the hospital, and I can make an appearance at the hospital’s benefits and events to create a positive spin to rehab this place’s image.”

“And what would you want in return?”

“I just need to work off my $10,000. Plus, it would be an added bonus if this helps people to stop mistaking me for my cousin.”

Lena sighed and placed her head in her hands. 

“I don’t know about all of this.”

Sam came over and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

“Lena, this really could be we have been waiting for.”

“There has to be another way,” Lena muttered. 

Kara leaned back into her chair with a coy smile. 

“I guess the question you need to ask yourself is if you want your pride to come before the hospital since you don’t have enough money to keep it open another two months.”

Lena smashed her fist on her desk and looked enraged. 

“Hey! That is not fair. I can stretch my funds a little longer until we find somebody…”

Kara brightly smiled while leaning forward. 

“Do tell. Who exactly will be helping? The public hates you. Other superheroes seem to have the same perception as well since I am the only superhero that has applied to your posting other than the trolls since it went live over a year ago.”

The hate for Lena wasn’t exaggerated. The vitriol that Kara read in the paper about Lena made her skin crawl. The other superheroes weren’t much better. Some wanted to torture Lena to find out what she knew about Lex, but Clark stopped them. That startled Kara considering his hatred towards her brother. He said that going after her would go against everything they stood for. Kara often wondered if that was really true or if he was just giving the politically correct response. Kara stared back at Lena. She looked like she was in emotional turmoil twisting her hands like they were on fire.

Sam shook her head and sighed. 

“Lena, we are at the point where it is this or your mother and you know how your mother is.”

Lena placed her head in her arms on the desk and groaned for a moment. 

She looked back up with a grimace on her face. 

“Alright, we have a deal.”

Kara smiled brightly and put out her hand. Lena looked at it with a frown at first but gradually took her hand and shook it.

“Trust me! This will be a start of a beautiful relationship.”

“If only I could believe that fully.”

“Aww. Don’t sulk. I think we can make SuperCorp into a thing.”

Lena raised an eyebrow while staring at Kara.

“SuperCorp?”

“Yeah. A Super and a Corporate woman putting their families petty differences aside to make the world a better place. You can use it in marketing to promote the activities and benefits you want me to come too.”

“I don’t know about that.”

Sam chuckled and said, “It sounds perfect. I can already think of the things we can do with that theme.”

She quickly began jotting several ideas down in her phone.

Lena stared incredulously at her friend and loudly whispered, “Don’t encourage her!”

She turned back to Kara with reigned in passivity. 

“How do I contact you about upcoming events?”

Kara pulled from her pocket a small hand held device and handed it to Lena. She looked back up at Kara with confusion.

“You really just want me to press just the red button and you come running straight here?”

Kara chuckled and said, “While the red button is for emergencies, there are several other smaller buttons that you can used on the device.”

Lena frowned and looked at it more closely. She didn’t notice before, but there were several buttons, a phone and a pen. She pressed the phone icon which produced a holographic keypad where you can dial out and make a call. She noticed it had a contact list which currently only listed Supergirl, but didn’t display the number. She pressed the pen icon which brought up a holographic keyboard where she could type out messages. 

She looked up at Kara impressed but quickly changed her expression to passiveness. 

“This will do just nicely.”

She is so cute trying to hide how much she likes the tech.

Kara was jolted out of thought by a noise coming through her comms. 

“Supergirl, this is Batman. We need you in Central City. Gorilla Grodd and Solomon Grundy are raiding S.T.A.R. Labs.”

Kara sighed because she had been enjoying the tense conversation with the intriguing Ms. Luthor. 

“I am sorry to have to cut this meeting short. Duty calls.”

With that, Kara quickly flew from the room. 

It may take some time, but I think I can win Ms. Luthor over. 

[oneshotnewbie]

Can you do a oneshot where 16 year old b!d has to get her tonsils taken out and her sisters take care of her.

ᕚ---ᕘ

You lay on one of the sterile hospital beds, surrounded by quiet medical equipment, anxiously surveying the room where you had been sent in with Alex and Kara. Your face is marked with pain, eyes exhausted as you gently touched your neck with one hand, the other resting in the blonde's hand. Your breathing was shallow and uneven, your heart pounding violently against your jaw.

“Please stop squeezing around there,” the blonde spoke softly, the worry and fear evident in her whispering voice as she pulled your fingers from your skin and intertwined them with hers.  "You are already finding it difficult to breathe. You do noz need to make it any harder for yourself." You nodded at her in agreement and looked over at the eldest of your sisters. She stood visibly nervous at one of the bedside tables and, completely lost in thought, poured you a glass of water before offering it to you. You swallowed the cool wet hard and tried to smile at her gratefully, but the pain was too much.

Kara and Alex shared worried glances before speaking to you in calm voices to reassure not only you but themselves as well. "We will be with you the whole time, you do not need to be afraid." The redhead spoke and Kara began to tell you about her life on Krypton while you waited together for the doctor. The pain in your throat was not easing but rather increasing, but the distraction and support of your sisters helped ease the fear somewhat as you waited impatiently.

Less than ten minutes later there was a knock on the door and a nurse came into the examination room with a push cart and a big smile on her lips. "Hello, are you Alex and Kara Danvers?" She happily greeted your siblings and shook their hands before taking gloves from the compartment and making her way to you. "And you must be our new patient. How are you?"

While your sisters took turns speaking in their hands to spare you the pain of speaking, the nurse did some preliminary tests and held a thermometer in front of your forehead. "Her temperature is slightly elevated." She asked saddened by this realization, taking notes on the tablet. She looked worried as she placed her cool hands on your neck, carefully examining the pressure points before looking into your mouth. “Her tonsils are severely swollen and red, almost to the point of suffocation. Doctor Cross will be with you shortly."

As soon as the words were spoken, an older gentleman in a white coat entered the room. The nurse was quick to explain the information she found out during the preliminary investigation and he nodded understandingly at the nurse before she left the room. He sat down on one of the swivel chairs and skillfully slid to the side of your bed. "Hello, young lady. I am Doctor Cross and I heard that you are having problems with your throat?" He pointed on it with a serious expression as he took a lamp with a forehead mirror out of his coat shortly after. You nodded at him, gesturing to your siblings to please continue the conversation again while he glanced down your throat.

"She can hardly talk or swallow. It is difficult for her to drink and she can not eat at all anymore. She has been complaining about shortness of breath since this morning," the red-haired woman explained to the doctor about your state of health and stood at the edge of the bed, where she gave you a hand sad smile. "How long has she been having these symptoms?"

"For about a week. At first we thought it was just a simple cold but since Sunday she has had a hard time getting her tea and soup down. As I said, she has only had shortness of breath since this morning, which is why we brought her here straight away. " Alex repeated in her mind and they continued talking for a moment before he informed you all that you needed emergency surgery. Shocked, you nodded weakly, fear evident on your face. Alex Danvers gently held her hand on your head as the doctor began to fill you in on the preparations for the surgery. Kara whispered soothing words in your ear, gently running her thumb over your skin as she reassured you that everything would be okay.

ᕚ---ᕘ

Four days after the tonsillectomy, you were able to leave the hospital with a clear conscience and excellent health. The surgeon had carried out the procedure with precision and concentration, closing the stitches on the wounds methodically and perfectly so that you felt no pain or after-effects. Alex had picked you up after the last check-up and driven you back home, where Kara was already waiting for you with a loving smile on her lips and a strong hug.

"It feels so good to be home again," you said, slightly exhausted but happy to be back in your own four walls. The days after the procedure were difficult for you, but it was even more nerve-wracking to be without your sisters, who visited you but could not spend the whole day with you. "You have done the hardest part. Now all you need is rest and patience for complete healing." The redhead said calmly and happily as she carried a bag with medication and the doctor's instructions into the apartment.

You entered the middle of the apartment with a weak but satisfied smile before two arms hooked under your forearms and carefully guided you to the comfortable couch that was prepared with pillows and blankets. “You did all this for me?” You asked the two of them and the blonde immediately made sure that you were sitting comfortably while Alex arranged the medication neatly on the table for you. "Of course! We want to make sure you are comfortable," Kara spoke, gently placing a blanket over your body before briefly disappearing from your sight and walking into your room. She came back with some books under her arms that you had never seen before in your book corner. "Here are three new books that we bought for you, in case you need some relaxation. And you will get a cup of ypur favorite tea too."

"You guys are the best. I honestly do not know what I would do without you," you acknowledged, immediately pushing yourself into one of the comfier pillows that provided the perfect angle for your head. "I also spoke to the doctor to make sure we follow all instructions properly so that you recover well."

Nodding in satisfaction, you closed your eyes for a moment, grateful for your sisters' care. Kara and Alex stayed close to you, making sure you were comfortable while you recovered. They chatted quietly as they moved around the apartment, doing their chores so as not to disturb you. Alex prepared a small station on the table, stocked with water, soup, and everything you needed so you did not have to move around much as your breathing deepened, feeling Kara and Alex's love surround you.

The loving looks your sisters gave you every now and then that you did not see, showed the deep determination to support you on your road to recovery. You felt safe and secure in her presence, letting yourself sink into the cozy atmosphere of home as you slowly drifted into dreamland. Time passed as Alex and Kara were done with everything and sat quietly next to you, careful not to wake you up as they carefully read the doctor's information sheet, planning how they could best care for you and how they could best take turns to make sure you were looked after around the clock.

A Christmas Miracle-Chapter 1

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers, Ruby Arias, Santa Claus, Streaky the cat

Summary: After her last two breakups, Lena doesn't think there is love out there for her. However, will Ruby's wish to Santa make Lena a believer in miracles?

Lena stood in line scrolling throw her email on her phone. She sighed because she had finished all of her work emails and was bored out of her mind. She looked down next to her and saw her six-year-old niece Ruby still jumping up and down full of energy. They have been waiting in line for over an hour to see Santa. She was honestly surprised that she had this level of enthusiasm. When she was her age, she would have thrown a fit. However, Ruby had been the perfect example of patience and positivity. It caused Lena to smile. She wished that she had that level of positivity. With Lex trying to kill her constantly or trying to take over her company, she honestly was surprised she hadn’t gone insane. If it wasn’t for Ruby, Ruby's mom Sam, and Lena’s stepmother Lillian, she probably would have.

Lena was jolted out of her thoughts when she heard Ruby scream, “It’s our turn, Auntie Lena!”

Lena looked up to see Ruby sprinting to Santa’s lap. Lena chuckled and quickly followed. 

Santa pulled Ruby up on his lap and asked, “What is your name, dear child?”

Ruby beamed and said, “My name is Ruby!”

Santa smiled and said, “It is nice to meet you, Ruby. What kind of gifts are you looking forward to for Christmas.”

Ruby shook her head and said, “I don’t need you to bring me presents this year Santa.”

Santa frowned and asked, “You don’t?”

Ruby shook her head and said, “I need your help with something very important.”

Lena was startled. She never thought that she would see the day that Ruby would forgo presents. She was quite curious about what she considered more important than a Christmas gift.

Santa looked at her quizzically, “Okay, what problem are you having?”

Ruby turned to Lena, pointed, and said, “I need a miracle. My Auntie Lena needs help.”

Lena looked baffled and said, “Ruby, I don’t need any help.”

Ruby turned to Santa with a worried look on her face and said, “She is lying. She thinks that love doesn’t exist. I need to make her believe again.”

Lena chuckled nervously and said, “Ruby that isn’t true. I believe that love exists. I love you, your mommy, and your grandma Lillian very much.”

Ruby rolled her eyes at her. She turned back to Santa and said, “She’s nervous because she knows that is not what I mean. She doesn’t believe in finding true love anymore. Auntie Lena is awesome and deserves the best true love in the entire world.”

Lena started rubbing the back of her neck and laughing nervously. 

“Ruby, I have taught you that you don’t need to be in a relationship to have a successful life.”

Ruby pouted at her and said, “You are sad all the time now since Andrea left. When I sleep over at your apartment, I hear you cry in your room at night wishing she would come back.” She turned to Santa and said, “Please don’t bring her back into her life. My mom said that she is a bad word, but it does rhyme with witch.”

Santa tried to stifle a chuckle. Lena looked at both of them mortified. She always thought she hid her emotions well around Ruby, but clearly she was wrong. Her last two relationships nearly destroyed her. When she was in college, she had dated Jack for 4 years. She thought that her relationship with him was going well until he bailed. Stated that being around her was a hazard. By that point, Lex had tried to kill her three times. The third time Jack took a bullet that was meant for her that put him in the hospital for three months. She was devastated that he broke up with her, but at least she understood it. Being with her was a hazard, and while she was willing to be his ride or die, she understood him not feeling the same way. 

Lena stayed single after that for two years until she met Andrea. She was a force of nature that swept her off her feet. She constantly surprised her with trips, flowers, chocolates, and love notes. She felt so loved and spoiled. Lena wanted to spend the rest of her life with her and often was scared that it was too good to be true. And it was. A couple of months ago, a hysterical woman broke into her building demanding to see her claiming Lena stole her wife and destroyed their family. Lena thought the lady was nuts until she had her private investigator do some digging and found out that Andrea not only was married but had five kids. She was devastated. What made matters worse was that Andrea’s wife sold her story to a popular tabloid. Now Lena not only gets blamed for Lex’s shenanigans but she is considered a homewrecker too. As much as she hated Andrea, she still wanted her back and that made her feel terrible. She wished that she could get over her. She barely left the house other than to go to work because it was one of the few things that kept her distracted. That and baking. Her house has been overflowing with baked treats like bread, muffins, and cakes since she left Andrea. Today was Lena’s first outing somewhere other than work in over three months. She only came because Sam agreed to go to a conference she had been avoiding hosted by Morgan Edge in Metropolis. She said the major thing Lena would have to do was to take Ruby to see Santa. Lena thought it would be a quick trip in and out. Now, Lena was regretting that decision.

Lena forced a smile and said, “I know that I was sad, but I am doing much now.”

Ruby pouted at her and said, “No you're not. Sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what you want in a true love.”

Lena sighed. She was starting to become frustrated and she didn’t want to draw attention to herself. 

“Ruby, dear. I don’t need anyone for Christmas. I am fine. I promise you.”

“No you’re not!” shouted Ruby while becoming teary-eyed. 

Lena was on the brink of tears. She knew that Ruby meant well, but this was all too much.”

“Ruby, if I sit on Santa’s lap and tell him my Christmas wish for a partner, will you drop this and never speak of this again.”

“Yes!” Ruby beamed. 

Ruby hurried up and got off of Santa’s lap so Lena could sit down. Lena rolled her eyes and gradually went to sit on Santa’s lap. 

“How does this work exactly?” muttered Lena.
