AN Prompt: While Kara is in college before she begins working for Kat she answers an ad to be the assistant for a rich billionaire that pays $100/ an hour.

Sorry I have been really busy and have had no time to rest

Kara's POV

I tap my foot nervously as I stand in the secret elevator that is leading me to the penthouse of the nicest hotel in National City. 

The ad I am answering was a bit sketchy but the money it is offering was too good to pass on the opportunity. I mean it does help that I am literally indestructible so I won't be in too much trouble regardless. 

I hear a ding and walk out of the doors into the luxurious room. 

"Hello? Is anyone here? I was told to report to this location for the job listing?" 

I nearly jump out of my shoes when I hear a monotone voice say "Ms. Luthor is currently working on an experiment in her lab she will be out shortly to discuss your employment but there is some paperwork she will have you sign. It is on the table in front of you to look through." 

I begin walking forward toward the table as I say "Thank you.. Um, what are you? And what do I call you?" 

"My name is J.A.R.V.I.S I am Ms. Luthor's home security system and virtual assistant." 

"And you are an-"

"Artificial intelligence that Ms. Luthor created yes. You should see a basic NDA in front of you as well as a couple of legally binding agreements that you will not share any information with anyone if you ever leave this position whether you accept or not." 

"This is a bit extreme but alright" I had to sign an NDA when Alex joined the DEO and my mom had everyone who knew I was an alien sign one just to be safe.

"JARVIS are you scaring a possible hire away already?" a voice with a slight accent says from my right. 

"Of course not Ms. Luthor" I turn and see who I am sure is Ms. Luthor and I am shocked to find a woman who couldn't be much older than me with dark black hair tied back in a ponytail and piercing green eyes. 

I stand and offer my hand as I say "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Luthor." 

"You must be Kara Danvers" I am a bit surprised but I did submit a preliminary application to get a background check done. "Besides some spots that were inaccessible to my background check you have a spotless background check so as long as you are okay with my working conditions we can get started tomorrow." 

"Alrighty what are the conditions" 

"I am the CEO of a billion close to trillion-dollar company I deal with bull shit annoying meetings 90% of my days so I am grumpy and won't be the kindest of people to deal with. I am an insomniac so I stay up almost all hours of the night and pass out whenever. I eat for someone probably three times my size cause I have a fast metabolism and I am unfortunately a perfectionist and will be harsh on mistakes because it can and will cost me millions. Do you understand all of that and still want to proceed?" 

"I do." 

"Already your rate with be $200 an hour" 

My eyes widen "I thought the ad said that it was $100" 

"Yes, but that was getting a lot of responses from people who didn't pass my tests. I also have way more money than I know what to deal with so I want to make sure you are properly paid for your work" 

I nodded not wanting to question the extra money. "I should add though, I am a college student. I am in classes from 8 to 12 Monday through Thursday. "

"That's completely fair. I am doing my second Ph.D. online at the moment school should always come first but I live in a massive penthouse I don't use half of so if you ever have late nights here you can always crash in one of the extra bedrooms and my driver can take you to campus." 

"Oh it's okay I don't mind taking the bus or walking. And I am also not much for sleep either so I am not opposed to late nights whatsoever and I will help you however I can." 

Ms. Luthor doesn't push me on the ride situation and leads me over to read through the higher packet. 

After all the paperwork bull shit she hands me a brand new phone and a laptop before showing me to my work area that was attached next to her office and lab. 

It only lasted about 20 minutes before she went back into her lab and JARVIS took over walking me through the basic steps. 

------------------------

Lena shoots me a text asking me to grab Nonan's and some other bull shit business stuff I will have to deal with first. 

She was right that the businessmen she deals with are a pain in the ass. And now they are my pain in the ass to deal with. 

The flight there was easy and quick as well as the flight back only took about ten minutes after waiting for the food to be finished. 

It is late and thankfully Nonans hadn't quite closed yet. 

I walk back into the penthouse and call out for Lena to come grab her food but when I get no response I raise an eyebrow in concern. 

I lower my glasses and scan around until I see her figure slumped over her desk. Panic rises in my chest but I see her chest rising and falling and can hear her heartbeat going steady. 

Lena gave me permission to be in her lab long ago so I know the code and enter easily. 

There is a small room with a bed and a bathroom attached for her if she is too tired to go all the way back to her room so I open that door and set her food on the side table. 

I walk back into the lab and slowly extricate her from her chair and pick her up gently before walking her into the small bedroom and tucking her in. 

I was about to turn around and go to my desk to get some work done but she grabs my arm and tugs me down into the bed with her before wrapping her arms around me and letting a sigh of relief go before starting to snore softly. 

I release a sigh and just decide to get some rest

----------------

The next morning I am awoken by someone yelling "HOLY SHIT!" and a giant thud. I blink several times and try and get the ringing in my ears to go away as I turn and see Lena rubbing her back on the floor of her small room. 

"Are you alright Ms. Luthor?" I say quickly as I stand and help her stand up.

"Yes sorry, I just was surprised...I don't normally sleep that well and I don't even remember getting back into bed last night." 

"Ah yeah, I can shed some light on that. When I came back from getting the food you were asleep at your lab table so I moved you into here so you can rest in a more comfortable spot but you dragged me into bed with you and I was gonna leave whenever you let go of me but you held on all night so I couldn't exactly go anywhere sorry about that."

Here eyes are wide and she immediately says "I am so sorry that is so incredibly unprofessional. I totally understand if you want to quit or punch me or I don't know demand a raise... well I am giving you a raise anyway cause you are doing a damn good job and I am the worst boss ever..."

She continues rambling for a minute and it really shows how young she really is. She isn't much older than I am and it is very interesting to see her in a not perfectly composed state like always.

"Ms. Luthor It's fine I promise. No raise necessary. Though this job has allowed me to pay off all mine and my sister's student debts so I am very very grateful for my salary. You did not cross any boundaries I promise I would have woken you if I wasn't comfortable and I needed the rest I haven't slept well in 4 days." I finish sheepishly

(AN: Sorry this is kinda a meh chapter but I hope it was cute and enjoyable and I may continue it)
