Supercorp Adventures

The universe doesn't allow perfection (yet here you are): part 1

First part of the title is a quote by Stephen Hawking

Summary: The story of how Kara and Lena first meet, become friends and then become gal pals (aka girlfriends).

AU where Kara doesn't have powers

EDIT: Kara Danvers and Clark Kent are cousins and they both don't have powers. Superman exists, but his identity isn't known (it's not Clark).

The story contains 5 parts!

Side note: I haven't proofread this story yet so there might be some skipped words and ungodly spelling mistakes. Please excuse me if you stumble upon one of those.

All mistakes are mine.

Part of the dialogue between Kara and Lena when they first meet, was taken from the show.

One: Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
(Lover, Taylor Swift)

'Ponytail!' Snapper Carr's voice boomed across the CatCo office and Kara Danvers hurried towards her new boss. 'You've heard about the Venture explosion, right?' He didn't wait for her confirmation before carrying on. 'A source of mine told me Lena Luthor was supposed to be on that spacecraft, but she never showed. I want you to go find out everything you can about her involvement in this. Consider it your first assignment.'

'B-but how will I even get her to see me?' The blonde reporter stammered nervously.

Snapper frowned at the woman, visibly annoyed that she was still in the room. 'Figure it out.'

Kara nodded and quickly disappeared from his line of sight. Her boss's advice had been most unhelpful and she mentally formed a plan as to how to get in touch with the infamous Luthor while she walked back to her desk. First, she would ask for a meeting as herself - Kara Danvers, CatCo reporter. If that didn't work, she would mention she had ties with Cat Grant and Clark Kent. Surely that would do the trick. Namedropping wasn't Kara's thing but if that's what it would take to get an interview with Miss Luthor, then she wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Much to her surprise, the young Luthor deemed Kara Danvers - a literal nobody in the reporting world since this was her first article - worthy of her time. The meeting was set for 4 pm that afternoon which gave the blonde more than enough time to prepare her questions and stress about the interview.

Kara Danvers arrived at Luthor Corp with time to spare. She was aware that the Luthors weren't know for their peaceful activities and that being related to Lex Luthor would put a target on your back, however she hadn't expected the extremely high level of security in the building. After a long security check, paralleled by that at an airport, Kara was finally riding the elevator up to the CEO's office.

To say she was a bundle of nerves would be an understatement. Snapper had thrown her in the deep end because of course, interviewing a high-profile member of society would be the perfect place for her to start honing her non-existing reporting skills.

The first thing Kara saw when the elevator doors opened, was Lena Luthor discussing something with her assistent. The blonde took a deep breath and stepped out of the metal box, slowly making her way towards the pair trying not to interrupt their conversation.

'Miss Danvers,' the CEO greeted as she glanced at the guest.

'Miss Luthor,' Kara returned awkwardly, unsure of what to do next.

Lena quickly finished giving her assistent orders, mostly about meetings that needed to be scheduled with some important business people, and motioned for the reporter to follow her into her office.
