Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Lina, who had been working continuously for five hours, held her neck and twisted it. Seeing all the processed documents on the table, she was relieved and could finally rest.
Lina closed her sore eyes for a few seconds and then stood up. During this period, her body made a protesting sound because she kept one posture for a long time.Lina frowned slightly, looked at the high heels on her feet, and made up her mind to remember to bring a pair of comfortable plush slippers to the office at night.
Because of the discomfort in the ankle, the thought of standing up and pouring water disappeared, and he raised his hand to call the secretary to ask her to bring in a cup of coffee, then he relaxed and leaned back on the chair.
Time flies when the weather is calm, and it has been a month since I met Supergirl face to face in my manor. Perhaps during this period of time, nothing difficult happened to DEO, so she did not have the phenomenon of running between the company and the mysterious organization. , which means she can only see the busy superhero on the news.
Lina stroked her flat belly. Although she forgot to eat lunch, she wasn't hungry yet.
Boring to turn on the computer, I saw the Instagram website in the favorites, and then I remembered Kara's words that night.
Thinking back, Kara hadn't actively contacted her for a long time, and Lina felt a headache when she thought of the chaotic relationship at this time. She really didn't expect that she was so popular with women.
In fact, after her identity was revealed, it wasn't that no women had posted on her body, but she felt that those women were only for her money, and never thought about whether there was some truth mixed in.
After taking a sip of the coffee brought in by the secretary, Lina manipulated the mouse and clicked on Instagram. Since she didn't follow the account of the Kryptonians last time, the President could only search manually.
Well, this superhero is really obsessed with this software, and in a short time, she has uploaded a whole page.
But she is also rewarded for doing so. Her fans have reached 5000 million. If possible, Lena believes that there will be many advertisers who want to find this superhero and establish a cooperative relationship with her.
Lina clicked on the fourth message posted by SuperPhotographer, which is a video.The camera is facing the keyboard part of the piano, and other positions are blurred due to the focus.After a while, a pair of white hands appeared in the camera, and the nimble fingers began to dance like elves, and the beautiful piano sound came from the stereo:
Iwalkonwater
But Iain't no Jesus
Iwalkonwater
But only when it freezes
Cause I'monlyhuman, just like you
I've been making my mistakes, ohif you only knew
I don't think you should believe in metheway that you do
Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
If I walked on water, I would drown
Cause I'm justaman
This is the first time she knows that the sweet Kryptonian sings so well, and what makes her even more surprised is that the Man of Steel, who loves to deal with things in a simple and rough way, can also play elegant instruments.
However, she chose this song to tell herself that she is also a mortal, and she also makes mistakes?Does she want to give her a chance?
"Lina..." A familiar voice came along with the knock on the glass door.
Lina turned around quickly, and saw the Kryptonian whom she hadn't seen for a long time standing on the balcony with a bright smile, holding something like a lunch box in her hand.
"Please come in." Lina closed the notebook calmly.
"I knew you forgot to eat lunch again, so I just dropped by to bring you some snacks." Carla pushed open the glass door and entered, and put the pastry in her hand on the desk.
"What's the matter?" Lina didn't reach out to open the snack, but wondered why Carla would suddenly give her a snack.
"No, I just brought you something to eat along the way." Carla said with a stiff smile, pretending to be casual.
God knows how long it took her to 'calmly' fly into this office. This is much harder than catching an alien criminal.
The group of friends said that only by grabbing a person's stomach can they catch that person, so she must deliver meals to busy people on time in the future.
Carla had no idea that she had misunderstood this sentence.
The well-educated Lena knew that it would be impolite not to express her gratitude at this time, but she just refused to speak in anger, and went to remove the insulation box of the desk with a sullen face.
This is what Carla bought from the most famous pizzeria in the city next door, because there is only one in the whole country, and there is no other branch, so Lena doesn't know.
It's just that the scent that came out the moment the box was opened whetted her appetite, and her stomach let out a growl.
Kryptonite, who has super hearing, naturally wouldn't miss it, and tried hard not to laugh out loud with a sullen face.
"Hurry up~ I know you like seafood, so I specially ordered seafood pizza. It is said that it is the treasure of that restaurant. Try it quickly."
The flattering superhero is more like a big golden retriever dog asking for praise from its owner. Lena sighed softly and let go of her defensive posture.
"Why don't you eat too?" Lina had never eaten with supergirl before, but she had heard that supergirl had a lot of food when DEO was helping her, so she should be hungry at this time.
Carla looked at the seafood-covered pizza out of the corner of her eye, and swallowed.She made sure she hadn't eaten before she came, and she didn't feel hungry at first, but she smelled the aroma and unconsciously wanted to eat.
It's not good to rush to eat the food that was just delivered, even if Alex didn't say it, she knew it.
But before Carla could speak, the secretary and Alan rushed into the office in a hurry.
"Ms. Luther, today..." The secretary's anxious voice was cut off when he saw supergirl.
Alan frowned at the same time, but he disappeared soon. This detail may not have been seen by others, but Kara, who had already added Alan to the blacklist, would naturally not miss it.
Knowing that she was in trouble, Lina didn't care about the superheroes around her, and asked the secretary to continue with a serious expression.
"The goods you ordered us to transfer from the laboratory this morning were intercepted. The police have been notified. They said they would find the lost goods as soon as possible."
The secretary's words cast a layer of ice on Lina's original serious expression. The lost cargo was nothing else, the Kryptonite that Kryptonians fear most.
The temporary transportation of kryptonite was her whim, and no one knew about it. She wanted to bring them back to her manor for more research.
Lena glanced at her secretary and bodyguard suspiciously, but quickly dispelled the suspicion. After all, even if they knew that they were going to transport things, they would not know what was inside. Packed in boxes in the laboratory.
"Lena, what did you lose? I'll help you find it!" From the expression on Lina's face, it can be seen that this batch of goods should be very important to her.
"I have set up a tracker in the box. Unless someone destroys the box, the signal will always exist. Alan, you take it and bring the box back." Lena stooped and took it out from under the safe on the desk. Give Alan something like a mobile phone. "Don't worry about me, I'll stay with supergirl until you come back."
Kara, who originally wanted to say that she was faster, heard the latter sentence, and her invisible tail almost rose to the sky.He raised his eyebrows at Allen with a slightly provocative meaning.
Allen smiled contemptuously and left the office with the tracker.
Regarding the tit-for-tat attitude of the two, Lina said that she was also very helpless.
"Lina, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Kara stroked her shriveled stomach and swallowed.
She decided that in the future, she must feed herself first, and then come to Lina to deliver food.
Seeing Cara like this, Lena also felt soft-hearted, after all, this is the person she likes.After Lina went to the rest room next door to wash her hands, she took out two sets of tableware from the cabinet and motioned Carla to sit down and eat together.
It wouldn't be Kara if she was still hypocritical at this time, she took the knife and fork and started eating with a smile.
"Do Kryptonians also obtain energy through eating? Or can they obtain energy only through sunlight without food?" Lena chewed her food and asked softly.
She has always been very curious about the physical structure of Kryptonians.
But Kara, who heard this question, fell into deep thought. She couldn't answer this question. She had never gone on a hunger strike, and the Danvers family would not starve this little Kryptonian princess. Naturally, she didn't know whether her body could Survive without food.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Lina also guessed that the other party might not know whether her body has this ability.
"I've never been on a hunger strike..." Kara replied thoughtfully after swallowing the delicious pizza in her mouth with difficulty.
Because the relationship was still rather awkward, neither of them opened their mouths, but the screams from a distance broke the silence.
"Someone is calling for help!"
"Then hurry up..." Lena knew that superheroes belonged to a year-round profession, and wanted to urge her to go to the rescue.
"No, you can't leave my side." After finishing speaking, Kara teleported to Lena's lounge and took a blanket, wrapped the president tightly, picked her up and flew out from the balcony.
He who promised to protect her personally must not break his promise.
During the flight, Kara took a peek at Lena, who was lying in her arms tensely, and the smile she secretly showed was immediately suppressed by her. She really had no selfishness~ She was just protecting Lena personally.
No matter how far the distance is, it is trivial for the Kryptonian with super flying speed. If it is not for the woman in her arms, she can go to the place where the incident happened in the blink of an eye.
I saw three drunk men who could smell the strong smell of alcohol on their bodies five streets away chasing a woman in a hospital gown. The strange thing was that the woman's hands were tightly covered by black gloves. Cold enough to wear gloves.
There is a mental hospital not far from here, this person may have slipped out of there.
When the woman ran away in the alley, she accidentally stepped on a discarded wine bottle and fell on the trash can standing beside her. Her gloves were also taken off because they caught on the uneven part of the iron barrel.
Kara quickly descended, put Lena on the ground, and went to finish the three drunks herself.
"Are you okay?" Lina hurriedly pulled the woman up from the ground, not caring about the filth on the woman's body.
The woman was dizzy from being thrown. She only knew that a stranger was approaching her, and her left hand immediately resisted and pushed Lina away.
"Lina!" Quickly dealt with the chicken-like drunk, turned around and saw the scene of Lina being pushed, and quickly caught him.Angrily, he grabbed the woman who was still waving her arms to resist.
A strange thing happened, just when her hand touched the woman's bare right hand, a strange force attracted her to hang in the air, and a colorful kaleidoscope-like scene appeared in front of her eyes, making her extremely dizzy.
When she shook her head and opened her eyes, there were only the two of them left in the alley, but the arm holding her was both familiar and strange to her.
"Supergirl!!!" Kara felt that she must be dreaming!Why did she see the supergirl who was also shaking her head reluctantly supporting her, and her screaming sound was so familiar to Lena!
