I have met very few people who can take me in chess. But you're welcome to try.

"I am not entirely ignorant of it. Though I suppose you're correct. You seem to deem this important, and you helped Clem. So I will do this for you. If there is further involvement in the future with Lex though, I'm going to ask that you keep myself and Clementine out of it. As you saw, he --

"This is a party thrown by a fashion designer. She'll need my money. But I can delegate the task to her. She's picked outfits for parties for me before, so she knows what does doing. She'll also have the necessary contacts."

Lena was quiet for a long moment, then she said: "Alright. What did you need from me? The invitations send aliases?"

𝕷𝖊𝖓𝖆 ⋆ @heartofaluthor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

"That actually doesn't explain anything," Lena said shortly. "That could mean just about anything. This isn't a small favor you're asking, and that woman runs LexCorp. If you want my help, then tell me what you're really doing."

𝕷𝖊𝖓𝖆 ⋆ @heartofaluthor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Lena rose an eyebrow. "... I don't suppose you have a good reason for this request, do you?"

Lena saw that Ivette was calling. She stepped out of the room where her co-workers were gathered, then answered the phone. "Hello?" Her voice was neutral, as it usually was.

Stepping out of LexCorp and into the fresh air, Lena paused, taking a moment just to take a deep breath. She felt... lighter. Lighter than she had in a long time... possibly lighter than she had felt in her entire life. And she actually smiled.

𝕷𝖊𝖓𝖆 ⋆ @heartofaluthor.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Lena opened the door and slipped out into the hallway without even slowing down. She started walking down the hallway towards the elevator, and her security fell into step behind her, handing her, her purse.

"This is your one and final warning. If you violate my terms, I will make one final move, and that'll be it for you. Do yourself a favor, Lex. Don't throw away the thing that you love most, or it'll abandon you forever, just like me." She turned on her heel and walked towards the double doors.

I'm being generous in offering you a chance to keep everything you truly love... I would recommend--

Lena could tell he was throwing curveball after curveball at her hoping she would take an interest. Whether or not he was lying about any of that, engaging would be playing, so she resisted. "I have everything I need to 'win'," she told him simply. "To destroy your reputation... Your --

-- The rest of us, however, you will leave alone. That includes Clem. I don't want you speaking to or targeting my friends either. In exchange, I will give you the same courtesy. I will not interfere with your business, I will not talk about you to the press, and I will not ever see you again."

I give you exception for Clark and Lois however, since they will undoubtedly want to bother you again at some point. --

"I know enough." She slid her phone back into her pocket, still looking as composed as ever. "And this was a long time coming anyway. As I was saying, I'm done playing with you. I don't love you anymore, Lex. In fact, I don't really care if you live or die. My terms are these: you --

Lena looked at it for barely a few seconds, then she looked back at Lex. "I'm not interested in your cheap tricks." She took her phone and opened it to a photo, then strode towards his desk and held it up so he could see. It was the photo she took in the Hartwin lab, with just the corner of --

Lena knew there were more things she should bring up having to do with the press, but she thought she should let Clementine enjoy herself first. She adjusted Clem's hands so that one was holding one of Lena's, and the other was on the small of her back. She started leading, her movements --

Lena's expression remained neutral. "I just told you... I'm done."

𝕷𝖊𝖓𝖆 ⋆ @heartofaluthor.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Lena kissed her back softly before pulling back to look at her once again. "... You know... if someone were to see us, the press would be all over you... Is that something you're ready for?"

Her mind flashed back to the faceless rotting versions of her all flocking to Lena when they heard her voice. She suppressed a shudder. "So don't stop then."

"I could always buy you a carriage, if you really want one," Lena said softly, her voice tinged with affection. "Did you really think I didn't feel the same about you?... What did you think I meant when I told you I was in love with you?"

Lena thought that was a peculiar request. She briefly wondered if his 'recent visit' had something to do with a virus he didn't want spread to him. But then she realized she didn't care. She clicked the pen she had in her hand. It was the same one she always used that stopped anyone from --

Lena noted that this comment seemed to imply that it was more than just a foul mood. She didn't comment on it, but filed it away in her mind. "Yes," she told him. "I wouldn't stop by just to chat... And the matter is private."

Lena looked around the room at all the security. "I do... had any unwelcome visitors recently?" she asked. She held her purse towards one of the security officers. "There's a gun in there, so I'll ask you to grab my phone for me. And I have a pen... I'll need that too. Once I have those, you can --

𝕷𝖊𝖓𝖆 ⋆ @heartofaluthor.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Lena still looked a little unsteady. For once, she didn't know the right move. She awkwardly reached forward and took Clem's hand again, then she hesitated. She waited a few seconds then she leaned in and gently kissed her lips.

{ starter for @lexcorpceo.bsky.social } All eyes were on Lena as she strode into LexCorp, kitten heeled boots clacking on the over polished floors. She was used to people staring, of course—she'd been stared at her whole life. All eyes were 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 on her. She stepped into the elevator,--

When Lena heard the words, her eyes widened. They were hazel, dark against the contrast of her snowy appearance. Her cheeks turned a rosy hue as well, making her look much like Snow White. "... Oh," she said, looking suddenly flustered. And Lena was never flustered. "I..." She reached up --

Since they were on a balcony, there was no furniture around. Lena just stared at Clem for a moment, then plucked the paper from her hand. She started to uncrumple it carefully.

Lena rose her eyebrows a little, looking surprised. "You wrote a song?"

Lena's brows pinched together. "Clem..." She reached up and brushed her tears off her cheeks. "... My life was already quite strange, so don't worry about it. My half-brother is Kryptonian and I fought a clone AI version of myself... Your situation was intense, but I face these types of --

Lena hummed, then looked towards her. She watched her for a long moment, then she reached over and started carefully removing the clips and fasteners, then set them on the surface of the railing. Once they were all removed, Lena brought Clem's hair all around so it was in front of just one --

Lena guided Clementine behind a curtain, where there was a glass set of double doors. She opened it, then pulled Clem out onto the balcony beyond with her. It was empty, overlooking the snowy trees that the hotel had probably planted for aesthetic purposes. Lena released Clem's hand, --
