Prompt: You can't just buy Sony because you can't figure out my DVD player!


It's Sunday, and Lena's day off from L-Corp, and it would be Kara's as well, but there's an alien trying to rob a bank a few blocks away, and Alex said it would really only take five minutes. So Kara is soon pulling on her super suit with a low growl, muttering something about needing some time off, and the one day her girlfriend has off as well, and it would be nice to actually enjoy some time off, and all manner of things.

Kara stepped into the kitchen, still growling, when she sees the object of her affections sitting at the island, reading a newspaper. Lena was wearing a pair of Kara's favorite sleep shorts and a long sleeve shirt with a large L-Corp logo emblazoned on the chest. Lifting the coffee to her lips, Lena looked over towards her girlfriend with a sleepy, albeit confused smile that quickly turns into a pout, "There's a suit under that outfit."

Kara nodded, "Yeah, Al called. I'll be back soon. I promise."

With a kiss to Lena's waiting lips, and a bite (okay, it's really half) of Lena's donut, Kara was on her way out the door when she caught sight of the TV that was on, but muted.

"Hey, babe? Can you take a look at the DVD player today? I either set it up wrong, or something happened when Winn tripped over himself and dropped the box bringing it in."

"Kara, I have no idea how to work a DVD player." the CEO commented as she took another sip of her coffee, "The only reason we have a TV is because it came with you when you moved in."

"Please Lee?" Kara pouted

"Fine." the raven haired woman sighed as she turned back to her paper, "I'll take a look."

"Thanks babe. I'll be back soon."

It wasn't soon.

It was actually eight hours later and the sun was starting its descent when Kara trudged up the stairs to her and Lena's shared apartment.

When she had woken up that morning, Kara had been excited about spending the day on the couch with her girlfriend, watching musicals and eating loads of take out and really just spending time with her two favorite women. Lena Luthor… and Julie Andrews. Julie had been calling her name for weeks now, and Kara knew Lena secretly loved musicals just as much as she did, even though she'd never said it.

So when she walked into her apartment, she expected that Lena had just gone out and bought a new DVD player.

What she did not expect, was to see her girlfriend, still in her pajamas (which was extremely rare for a Luthor), sitting at the coffee table with the DVD player, cable box and VCR in pieces all around her, various tools in arm's reach, and sketch paper as she drew plans for something. Lena was still in her pajamas, long sleeves now rolled up and contacts traded for a rare pair of glasses she only puts on when the contacts get annoying from her super focused work.

"Hey babe." Kara calls

The other woman didn't even look up as she kept on sketching some sort of blueprint. With a huff, she erased something and pushed her glasses up slightly from where they had slipped.

It was adorable. And Kara couldn't even be mad that the entire living room was covered in wires and screws and random pieces of metal, because Lena's techie side rarely comes out. And Kara definitely thinks that Lena's techie side is totally sexy.

"I see we didn't fix the DVD player."

Lena shrugged, but still kept her focus on the work, "It was just a loose wire. But once I pulled it apart and read up on the latest designs of DVD players and other various media readers, I realized how faulty the construction was." Lena stopped her rambling and shuffled through a set of loose wires on the cable box, doing mental calculations before she wrote something down and drew something else, "so, obviously I tried to fix it. But the whole structure wasn't compatible to my new design, so I thought maybe the cable box had something to offer since all of my loose parts are in my lab at work. That didn't yield anything." Kara slowly sat on the floor next to her girlfriend and looked over the sketch. Well, sketches. There was a pile of papers on Lena's other side that Kara hadn't seen and whatever it was looked super futuristic. "So then I took apart the VCR and didn't realize till it was apart, that the VCR is outdated. Babe, I don't know why you still have that thing. But anyways, I had some ideas and I just had to get them down. I called Jess awhile ago and she's looking into patents and copyrights…"

As Lena started to ramble about the possibilities of what she's inventing, Kara took Lena's face in her hands and forced green eyes to meet her own.

Lena smiled but it turned into a grimace after a moment; her nose upturning slightly "You smell like burnt paper and gun powder."

Kara chuckled and kissed Lena's cute nose, "Come shower with me?"

There's an unmistakable darkening of Lena's eyes, yet, Lena actually looks back at the coffee table longingly and Kara knew instantly knew how much Lena was debating on leaving the work, or saying no to the shower because she was super into what she was working on. But she didn't really want to say no, so she looked back to Kara with guilty doe eyes and Kara couldn't help but melt.

"Never mind." she groans, knowing she'll be showering alone, "Stay in the zone and keep working."

Lena just smiled wider, "Thanks baby."

Before Kara could stand, Lena wrapped her arms around her girlfriend and pulled her into a deep, plundering kiss. As Kara sat back, catching her breath, she nodded, "Kiss me like that, and I'll let you do whatever you want baby."

Lena smiled and turned back to her drawings.

Kara stood and walked towards their bedroom, "At least order me some pizza while I'm in the shower." she called back as she started stripping off her clothes and suit.

She turned back at the last minute and saw Lena had already gone back to her work and was engrossed. Chuckling, Kara returned to her journey to the shower.

As Kara exited the bedroom, now showered and clothed, she found her girlfriend at the kitchen island, pouring over a stack of paperwork she hadn't seen before, "what are those babe?"

Lena was deep in thought as she turned from page to page. They front door opened to reveal Jess, Lena's assistant, carrying four pizzas and a box of donuts on top.

"Oh look, my favorite person ever!" Kara squealed

Jess chuckled, "You say that to anyone who brings over food."

"That's because food is my favorite." the Super acknowledged as she plucked the stack of food from the other woman's hands. "I'm guessing you're the reason my girlfriend has paperwork on her day off?" Kara muses as she slides open the first box of pizza; eyes shining at the beautiful and gooey cheese pizza in front of her.

"Actually," Jess started, stealing a piece of pizza, "you are."

Kara looked at the smaller woman skeptically before leaning over the counter to read the top paper of the stack. When realization struck, Kara clicked her tongue, "Lena! You can't just buy Sony because you can't figure out how to fix my DVD player!"

Lena looks up from the pile and lifts her chin slightly in the air with a smug smile, "No. But I can buy Sony because I've figured out a way to optimize media readers, and make them cost half as much." She shrugged smugly, "they're going to make millions. Well...L-Corp is going to make millions. It's actually a really good business move on my part."

"Really?" Kara asked, her face deadpanned and not really believing Lena's story, "In one afternoon, you've singlehandedly improved something that teams of people have been researching and developing for years."

The CEO smiled wider and shrugged, "Well, yes."

Seeing the truth in the other woman's eyes, Kara's eyes widened slightly, "Really?" she asked in somewhat awed disbelief

"Babe. Have you met me?"
