Work Text:
Lena Luthor, believe it or not, likes to bake. And boy can she bake. She used to bake so regularly, she’s sure she had unlocked the sacred tricks to creating the perfect crème brulee, lighting it on fire, the whole shebang and thus decided to share it with the world. How? The only way one does when they want to share something. The Internet. More specifically, the red app the looks like a play button, Youtube.
A surprise to most people, especially the assassins sent after her during and after the whole Lex and Superman fiasco. It’s become a running joke for herself, she briefly tells them all about her channel and how she has thousands of followers, about how she stopped when all things went to shit because of Lex, only to by herself some time to either grab her taser or to load her gun stuck under her desk next to the security button.
Of course it doesn’t always work, but it does to the one who ‘have a message’ from Lex or Lillian where they want to chat or gloat before finishing the deed.
Now, years after the Superfriends defeated Nyxly when she can finally breath after establishing the foundation to a decent level even with the backlash of the public and confess her apparently mutual feelings to her favorite blonde reporter and got herself a girlfriend- no, fiancé as of two days now, the one and only Kara Zor-El Danvers comes bumbling into their bedroom with her laptop and calling her name.
“Yes love?” she replies with an amused smile when Kara hops onto the bed.
“There’s someone who’s pretending to be you as a baking channel” the kryptonian says with a huff. “I can’t believe her. Them. Alien? Ughhh you get my point” her frustration evident then muttering too low for Lena to hear, “She’s hot too”. Before Lena could say anything, the laptop is shoved onto her lap where a video, she recognizes as her 19-year old self, fresh out of MIT with no plans for her future talking about the differences between chocolate mud cakes and moist chocolate cakes. Of course when she started working with Jack in a garage trying to cure cancer she had lesser time to do this but still managed to sneakily record and upload some.
Gently placing her hands on top of Kara’s where they rested next to the laptop, she said “Darling, that’s me”
“No that can’t be you because if its you, you’d have told me about it right? I mean I know you can bake, that scone 2 weeks ago was like going to heaven and coming back down just to taste it again. That- that’s not the point” the chief in editor for CatCo then faltered as she saw the deadpanned expression on her fiancé’s face. “That’s you?!” she exclaims albeit a little loudly.
“Yes, it is, I made a channel before I started working with Jack but I stopped when Lex descended into his madness” Lena laughs then explains slowly like how one would when approaching a spooked animal which is exactly what Kara looked like, her face showing all signs of disbelieve as she stands up from the bed and paces next to it.
“And you never told me?! At least now I don’t feel guilty for watching the video so many times before I came over here” the Super says sheepishly and actively avoiding eye contact with the CEO after the last part of her sentence.
“Did you have a little crush on younger me?” the raven-haired woman teases, pushing aside the laptop so Kara can slide in next to her, sitting up against the headboard.
“Rao how can I not? You never age do you Lee? You’re like a vampire” Kara says as she rests her head on Lena’s shoulder and then leans into her neck and whispers just loud enough for the woman who owns her heart to hear
“A hot and sexy vampire who’s all mine” followed by soft feather-light kisses to her neck and Lena lets out a gasp then a soft moan as she tilts her head, left hand coming up to lightly cup the kryptonian’s face, directing her to more pale skin exposed for her taking.
“All yours huh?” Lena manages to let out. “All mine” her possessive side just shining through. Breathing unevenly as Kara continues her assault on her neck, Lena warns “Baby we can’t, we’re supposed to leave for Esme’s soccer game in 10 minutes”
Being the godmother and aunt of a kid came with certain responsibilities which Lena wanted to take as seriously as possible but this- this is definitely a distraction. A distraction she wants to indulge in even when her mind is fighting against it.
“We can be quick” Kara whispers again. Her voice husky and low, a temptation for the CEO at its highest form. The blonde knows what that voice does to her insides, she knows and yet she uses it because not many people know but Kara Zor-El is a tease. A fucking tease and she loves it. They both do.
Kara then lifts her head slightly, kissing the lips she knew she was obsessed with and looking at Lena’s face with an obvious confusion when she pulled away.
“We cannot be quick. The last time took an hour!” Lena teases, cheeks flushed crimson. “It wasn’t my fault the clock in our bedroom stopped ticking!” the kryptonian lets out bringing out another chuckle from Lena. With another peck, Lena climbs out of bed to get ready, speeding up a little if they wanted to make it to Esme’s championship game on time.
-~-~-~-~-~
The recent discovery of Lena’s youtube page led Kara to watching all her videos at least 3 times before her idea came about, not that there were many to begin with. Each video was about 15 minutes and it gave the blonde that much time to admire her love when she was younger. Lena really hadn’t aged and Kara wasn’t kidding about the vampire traits. Kara was so convinced she tried to jokingly question the CEO at one point to which the ravenette had replied “I can’t be a scientist, witch and a vampire at the same time. That’s just hard”
The idea obviously entails more food and the continuation of her channel. Kara had named it ‘The Return of the Baker’, cliché according to Alex as she could clearly see the Star Wars reference. Alex originally hadn’t given a damn about her sister’s plan until she realized that Kara would want to help Lena film it and god knows Kara can’t film for her life. Alex then encouraged Kara to come forward with her idea to Lena only to torture her almost sister in-law with Kara’s skills, or lack thereof.
Petty, she knows but its not like Alex could try and pin her for murder or anything, Lena’s part of the superfriends, her family. So the next best thing is torture by shenanigans.
One Friday night a week later, as the couple were getting ready for bed, Kara slips the idea, leading Lena to the most obvious answer in her brain.
“No”
Which then leads to the pouty face the CEO is a sucker for, pointed in her direction. “But you’d be so great! And you can show off your baking skills”
“You mean so you can eat the goods? Yeah, Kara I don’t think so” Lena weakly argues. “Oh come on Lee, please? We’ll make one video and try it out. I’ll even help you out with the recording!” the superhero bargains.
“Just one video?”. At Kara’s nod, Lena sighed then relented. The celebratory fist bump didn’t go unnoticed by the ravenette before they went to bed, chatting about the plans to make the video the next morning as its a Saturday. Shocking but Lena has decided to take Saturdays off work, finally learning to balance out her life and time, also to avoid being a ‘total workaholic but also badass bitch’ according to Nia.
-~-~-~-~-~
The next morning had Kara all pumped up and excited while Lena lied on the bed like a dead rat. Her week had been exhausting but Kara energy always put her in a good mood. Maybe baking today wasn’t a bad idea after all.
After breakfast, Kara used her superspeed to set up Lena’s ‘stage’ as she liked to say while Lena contemplated outside her wardrobe door. An outfit choice is harder now. She has her ‘don’t mess with me and fuck you’ outfits which she uses for business meetings, then she has her ‘I love Kara and I wear this only when I feel like it’ section and lastly her ‘I’m trying to expand my wardrobe so I don’t look like a bitch all the time’. She settled on a casual green top that she knows her fiancé loves and dark blue jeans with a necklace that the blonde had gifted her from when she was flying in Italy one morning.
Kara, innocent Kara had choked on her water when Lena came out of the bedroom. Don’t get her wrong, she loves Lena in anything she wears but Lena with a top that brings out the forest green in her eyes making them pop and jeans that make her ass look incredible? Well you can’t blame Kara for staring no matter how many times she’s seen her. She’s absolutely a goner when it comes to Lena Luthor.
And since she revealed herself as Supergirl to the world, everyone knows just how much of a goner she is. All it took was one live sit-down interview with Cat Grant when they came out with their relationship and that was all it took for the world to see Kara Zor-El Danvers go tomato red, reduced to mush at the hands of a Luthor.
Nevertheless, Lena walked over to Kara, smirking as she brought her hands up to close the blonde’s hanging jaw, then pecked her lips a couple times before moving away and standing at the island, facing the camera like nothing happened. It took a couple seconds for Kara to recover but she faked a cough and continued on with her task.
“Okay so want to tell us what you’re gonna be making today Lee?” since that line, Lena knew that this wasn’t going to be one of her standard videos, this was going to be different. And rightfully so, Lena feels different. She’s grown and learnt so much from the time she started being the superhero’s friend right up to now as her fiancé. A change in her style if definitely good, considering its been 10 years since her last video.
“Well I’m going to be showing you guys to how make raspberry cheesecake brownies, since they’re the only things left in the fridge that your lovely Supergirl hasn’t eaten yet” Lena answered as she stifled a laugh at Kara’s “Hey!” make in the background.
All is going well one Lena’s part until she’s mixing the dough and she realizes that Kara isn’t filming the dough. “Love, move the camera to the dough” she says then continues kneading it. After a minute, she looks up again to see the camera on her face. She just pushed the camera towards the dough as she looks into her fiancé’s eyes. The third time and she’s had enough.
“Kara, stop moving the camera to my face! Focus on the dough” she says. All she got back in response was “But you’re pretty. Doesn’t the world deserve to awe at your beauty? Like I do. Every. Night.”
Sighing, she only smiles with a blush creeping to her cheeks before nodding her head to signal Kara closer to her before kissing her thoroughly, hands still in dough and all. “I love you but need I remind you this is a family friendly video? And I don’t think the world needs to know what we get up to when we’re alone now do they?”
“The faster you film, the faster you can eat” then she added “The brownies and maybe something else” with a sly grin before moving her attention to the dough, leaving Kara now with a rising blush while her hands scramble to fix the camera in position.
After that small distraction, Kara vows to herself to direct her focus into filming and it goes well until Lena puts the brownies in the oven. Then she films the CEO explaining about the temperatures and extra notes to perfect or change the flavours if the audience is interested. That’s when all hell breaks loose.
“For god’s sake Kara, would you stop winking at me?! I’m trying to do this as professionally as possible but I can’t do that when you’re behind the camera and looking at me like that” the ravenette exclaims.
A pout. She has the guts to pout at me when we’ve taken almost half a day to film the video. “Kara” she warns playfully. “We’re almost done baby, just this part then taking it out of the oven. Besides, this was your idea!”
“Yeah, but I didn’t think you’d be this sexy when you’re baking. All focused and confindent” pouting again as Lena laughs.
As they film the last part, the oven goes off and the blonde’s mouth starts watering at the sight considering she hasn’t eaten anything for half the day. A human would be fine but to a kryptonian, she’d say it’s a record. Then she picks Lena up and throws her over her shoulder, ignoring the squeak her fiancé lets out and slightly speeds to the bedroom to devour something else she’s had in mind since morning.
-~-~-~-~-~
Lena obviously allows Kara the honor of editing the video, sometimes asking Lena if its fine leaving a couple seconds when they were goofing off in the video to which the CEO agreed. It was a one time thing right? She doesn’t think Kara has the patience to film her again knowing what it can do to her.
Little does she know that when they release the video just before bed that night, it blows up the internet. So much so that Nia spams the group chat teasing them about how cute they’re being while Alex just grumbles to Kelly about how her plan backfired then proceeds to torture the couple by sending in crazy and funny fan comments to each of them which results in both of them awaking early from what they thought could be a lazy Sunday morning.
Safe to say that they do make a few more videos in the following years, adding in slight cameos from Superman himself which increases the fans demand but neither let it bother them. They do this to unwind and relax, basking in the joy of being around each other and as a slight tradition when their kids and the superfriends come around for the holidays.
