The Next Morning

Lena heard the alarm on her dresser go off, rousing her from her sleep. Lena moved to sit up, but a weight on her chest had her open her eyes, to blearily see the golden puppy resting on her chest, absolutely knocked out.

"How did you get on the bed?" Lena wondered softly, gently moving the puppy off her chest, making the dog whine. Lena placed the puppy on her covers, where it quickly curled up.

The alarm continued to blare, making Lena sigh and reach over to turn it off. The brunette looked at the time, 6 AMLena reached over for her glasses, and put them on.

As much as she would love to continue to sleep, she knew full well how much she would have to make up. Lena glanced at the sleeping puppy, then reached over to pet its back.

Lena never would've thought such a small creature could bring her such joy, but looking at the small golden, she was proven wrong. Seeing the dog chase after the tennis balls, play with some tug toys, and even the peeing incident, had somehow eased the loneliness she had felt. The poor puppy had looked so guilty sitting in the bathtub, yet it warmed Lena's heart. She was definitely looking forward to spending more time with the puppy.

Her cellphone rang. Lena sighed, then reached over for her phone, seeing JESS as the caller ID.

Lena answered. "Good morning Jess." She continued to rub her puppy's back.

"Good morning Ms. Luthor, I hope you slept well. I have here with me the schedule for the day if you would like to hear."

"Of course Jess."

"Very well. You have a meeting with Mr. Chad Wales at 8AM, which could last for about two hours, his secretary had told me he has much to say. The R&D department would like to report to you about their progress on the alien detection device at 10:30 AM." Jess continued to list out the meetings for the day for a few more minutes.

"And those are all the meetings for the day. Oh and Cat Grant left a note for you late last night. Would you like me to read it now?"

Lena raised an eyebrow. Why would Cat Grant leave a note for her? "Yes, of course."

"I will read it word for word. Her note says, 'I was recently informed you came to visit Catco, and had asked for my assistant Kara Danvers. Kara Danvers has recently taken a brief vacation and won't be back for a month. However, I would like to speak with you, come by tomorrow for lunch.' That is all she said."

Lena's face burned.

"Would you like me to confirm those lunch plans for tomorrow, Ms. Luthor?" Jess seemed amused.

"Please do. Cat Grant is not one to argue with, and if anything, this would be very beneficial for LCorp." Lena looked down at her puppy, who seemed to twitch.

"Very well...How is your new dog, Ms.Luthor?" Jess asked curiously.

"Well, she is doing well, and it looks like she is waking up." Lena smiled as the puppy rolled on its back, presenting its belly, yawning widely, eyes still closed. She rubbed the puppy's belly, seeing its left hind leg start to kick.

"What type of dog is it?" Jess asked.

"A Golden Retriever."

"Oh my gosh, they are the cutest breed. Will you be bringing her to your office?" Jess seemed to gush for a second, before her voice seemed to go back to a more professional tone.

"Yes."

"Wonderful. In addition to the items sent to your penthouse, I also had some puppy supplies sent to your office. Your office is well supplied with everything a puppy should need."

"Thank you Jess. I will see you at 7:30."

"Your transport will be waiting outside your building at 7AM. See you soon, Ms. Luthor."

Lena hung up. She left the bed, careful to make little noise, not wanting to wake the puppy. She walked out of her bedroom, leaving the door open.

She had to get ready.

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

Kara's mind was in a daze as she slowly woke up. She was resting on her back, she realized. She felt warm, comfortable, sleepy, but then tomach rumbled, making her huff. She opened her eyes, then pawed at her eyes. Kara turned around, walking on four paws for a bit, stretching as she did so. She looked around for a second then glanced at the clock on Lena's dresser.

6:30 AM

Kara sat back down on the bed, yawning widely. The golden glanced at the bed.

Kara laid back down, resting her head on her paws.

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

At the DEO

"Sir, we managed to find Supergirl's last known location." Alex said sternly, with J'onn raising an eyebrow, signaling for her to continue. "Her suit and other belongings were found in an alleyway near Catco. There was no sign of her. We managed to get her belongings away from an adult black cat who was napping on them, and we have found her earpiece. She didn't report to Catco or has contacted any of her family."

Alex swallowed hard. "I'm willing to believe she has been kidnapped and-"

"-and if the public were to find out, there would be mass panic." J'onn finished, a grim look on his face.

Alex nodded. "There is only one way to make sure the public doesn't know." The redhead struggled not to smile. Then she remembered that Kara was missing, then she frowned.

J'onn grimaced. "I will do it until she is found...and we won't talk about it ever again. In the meantime, have Mr. Schott scour the city's cameras. She is out there, and we'll find her Alex." J'onn placed a comforting hand on Alex's left shoulder.

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

Kara's ears perked up as she heard footsteps heading towards the bedroom. Lena appeared in the doorway, looking refreshed and not wearing her glasses.

"Good morning girl." Lena smiled at the puppy, walking over to the bed.

Kara barked, standing up on four paws. She felt her wag begin to wag behind her.

Lena sat beside the dog, who leaned against her body.

"I'm surprised you slept through the night." Lena rubbed the puppy's head. "Apparently puppy's struggle to sleep through the night, and you managed to get on my bed somehow."

Kara's tail slowed its wagging. Lena noticed the oncoming guilty look.

"Oh I'm not mad, girl. If anything I slept much better with you around." Lena scratched underneath the puppy's chin, who seemed to sag into her hand. Lena laughed.

"C'mon let's go eat breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us and you get to meet Jess." Lena stood up and headed towards the hallway when she heard a whimper. The brunette glanced back at the puppy, who was now standing at the edge of the bed.

Kara eyed the edge of the bed, positioning herself to jump down, but she didn't.

Kara yelped as she was picked up by Lena, then was placed on the ground.

"I guess you're too little to start jumping." Lena walked back towards the hallway. "C'mon girl."

Kara glanced at the bed, then huffed. She followed Lena to the kitchen, where the brunette started to cook. Kara walked over to her bowls, and sat down next to them.

Kara thought, sniffing what seemed to be eggs.

"Here girl." Lena kneeled down next to her, placing dog food in her bowl. Kara glanced at her dog food. Kara yipped at Lena before starting to eat.

They had breakfast. Once they were both done with breakfast, they started getting ready for the day. Lena went to get dressed in her bedroom, while Kara padded over to the living room.

Kara did her business on one of the puppy pads, inwardly embarrassed.

The puppy glanced at all the items in the living room, then walked over to a section that had all the collars. The selection was quite large. Kara sat down next to the large pile, then started to paw through them.

Kara shook her head, moving the gold plated collar to the side. She continued to paw through the collars until she found the right one. She picked up the collar in her mouth

She heard Lena walk towards the living room, making her turn towards the sound. Kara padded over to the footsteps. Lena was now wearing a red pantsuit, with a black dress shirt underneath. The brunette was now wearing makeup.

Overall, Lena Luthor was gorgeous.

"Hey girl, you ready to go? What do you have in your mouth?" Lena kneeled next to Kara, who dropped the collar in her hand. "A collar? Oh you are one smart pup." Lena put the collar around Kara's neck, adjusting it a little bit.

Kara thought, shaking her head.

Lena stood back up, then went to the pile that had the leashes.

It took a few minutes before they were completely ready.

Lena heard a

"Looks like our ride is here. C'mon."

They walked out of the penthouse.

They were on their way to LCorp.
