Mx. Luthor (Part 2)

A/N: I firmly believe that I'm completely incapable of writing one shots anymore...

"Lena, hi! It's good to see you. Kara is out doing an interview right now, but I'm sure she would be fine with you waiting in her office," Nia says with the brightest smile.

Lena's heels click with pure confidence in their power suit. "Nia! I'm actually here to see you! Is there somewhere we can speak privately?"

Nia looks just a bit confused. "Is everything alright? Here, we can use Kara's office all the same."

The two of them quickly hide away in the blonde's office. "Nothing is the matter. I- I just could use your help. Or at least I hope you are able to help. I'm really not sure how to go about th-"

"Lee! You've been hanging out with Kara too much." Lena blushes profusely at that. "You're rambling. What can I help you with?"

Lena stares at their feet as they whisper, "I was hoping you would know where I could possibly go to find a binder..."

It takes just the briefest moment for the cub reporter to realize that Lena didn't mean the office supply. "Oh," she says lightly. "Of course, Lee. Do you want just a list of stores or would you like me to come with sometime?"

Lena plays with their wrist watch and fidgets with their fingers. "I- I was hoping you would come with me?"

Nia's brightest smile is back on her face. "I would love to. When did you have in mind?"

Lena blushes profusely again. "Could we go before Saturday?"

"Wait- isn't Saturday zoo day with Esme and Kara?" The resounding silence in the room is telling. Nia has a cheeky smile on her face as Lena looks up through their eyelashes as if to dare the young woman to tease them about it. "Ooooh. You want it in time for a certain someone. I get it, I get it."

Just as Lena opens their mouth to respond, the person in question comes bursting through her office door. "Ope! Hey! Lena! Nia! What are you guys up to? Were you waiting for me? I'm so sorry! Did we have lunch planned? I got pulled into an article where the source would only speak with me. Sor-"

Lena lightly places their hand on Kara's forearm. "Darling, relax. I was just chatting with Nia and needed some privacy."

"Oh, is everything alright? Is something wrong? Does someone need punching?" Kara immediately switches to overly concerned. Nia just smirks at the two.

"Nothing is wrong, Kara. I promise. We still on for Saturday?"

Kara immediately smiles at the thought of hanging out with the beautiful person in front of her. Her brows pinch at the thought and cannot stop the word vomit coming out of her mouth. "Can I still use adjectives that are traditionally gendered on this planet? Like can I still call you beautiful, or is it considered too feminine?"

After a rather pregnant pause of Nia trying to suppress a laugh and Lena arching their brow dangerously with a hint of a smirk on the corner of their mouth, Kara claps both hands over her mouth with eyeballs bulging and eyebrows raising into her hairline. "Oh, Rao... Lena! I'm so sorry! That was totally inapprop-"

"Darling, breathe for me. It's not inappropriate to ask questions. I'd personally prefer you ask them than try to assume to know how I would feel about it."

"I- I'm just- going to... go." Nia slips between the two and quickly exits the office space. She leans in the doorway before shutting it and pointedly looks at Lena. "Text me the details, Lee. See you both later."

Lena nods in acknowledgement, even though they and Kara are caught in a deep staring contest. Lena is the first the break the silence in a hushed whisper, "You didn't answer my question. Are we still on for the zoo?"
