“You’ve never actually baked anything have you?”
Lena Luthor, CEO of L-Corp and general badass, smiled uncertainly before she replied. “Look, no one knows the difference between condensed and evaporated milk.”
Alex and Kara Danvers exchanged a look before they simultaneously retorted, “We do!”
Lena rolled her eyes as she realized she couldn’t fool her friends with her bluster. “What gave me away? Besides the confusion about which kind of milk to use?”
Kara and Alex exchanged grins before Alex responded. “For me it’s when you asked if the fudge had to be baked for 365 minutes instead of at 365 degrees.”
“Yeah, that was pretty much the clincher,” Kara chimed in, as she tried but failed to keep her mirth at bay.
Lena laughingly shook her head, “Yes, I clearly need a tutor in baking.” Her expression cleared and she looked determinedly at the sisters. “You must teach me how to make pumpkin butterscotch fudge before James’ New Year’s Day brunch.”
She looked worriedly down at the kitchen counter. “Lucy Lane is going to be there with her famous gum drop cookies and …”
Lena didn’t have to finish before Kara and Alex were on either side of her, Alex‘s arm around her shoulders while Kara covered her friend’s hand. “We’ll teach you everything we know,“ Kara quietly answered, “but Lena, James and Lucy are just friends now. There is no competition.”
Lena looked her best friend straight in the eye, her ominous words filled with bleak experience. “I’m a Luthor. There’s always competition.”
