Obsession

Chapter One : A Second Chance



Supergirl rolled her eyes, apparently Jan was TOTALLY out of it. So she decided to play his little game, as her eyes got tearful. "Yes, this is Hell, Jan. We're the only ones left... everyone's dead... Jimmy too." She wrapped him in her arms. "WE'RE THE ONLY ONES LEFT!" She said sobbing against him, when she looked up to see if he was falling for it. What DID happen she was not prepared for. Jan had pressed his lips on hers in a passionate kiss. Just the thought that what Supergirl was telling him had actually happened had spiked Jan with the power to finally kiss her, even if she wasn't Kara Kent, the object of his obsession, but Jan didn't know that Supergirl is Kara.



Supergirl pulled her lips back, refusing to believe that her boyfriend's best friend would do such a thing. However... and she would never ever let Jimmy know, she did like the kiss.



"Sorry, Jan, I was joking. You should have seen the look on your face! Of course we're not in Hell, what were you thinking, anyway? Jumping, more like diving off the Daily Planet roof?! ARE YOU CRAZY?" She asked, stepping away from him.



So apparently Lex hadn't told anyone yet. "I guess nobody knows yet... Lex fired me. There was no reason to stay alive anymore, so I did the first thing that came to mind." Jan said, and was slapped by Kara again.



"DO you even know how everyone would react? Kara, Jimmy, Clark, Lois, Chloe and Bart? Why they would feel a great loss for your death! Feel like a part of them had died!" There was a setup why she had used her real name first... but only as a friend. She would never ever betray Jimmy by kissing or even god forbid sleeping with Jan. They were too much in love for that. Their relationship hasn't been that ever since they had met in Smallville, then they were falling in love. Now they had moved on past that and had slept a couple of times with eachother, Kara being careful not to use her powers while in bed with Jimmy.



"Lex... why is he always responsible for misery like that?" Supergirl asked and before Jan could answer, she had left with her superspeed, deciding to pay a certain editor and owner of the Daily Planet a visit before she reported to Superman her patrol and called it a night. "Supergirl, wait! Oh great... this is going to be interesting..." Jan said, as he got up in his bed and touched his wall for 10 seconds, causing it to slide to the side and reveal another wall... filled with Kara pictures. There were also a couple from previous work parties. Normally they had Jimmy in them, but Jan was also a master photoshopper/manipulator with pictures, so he had simply removed Jimmy from the pictures. There was one picture that was his favorite of Kara. He smiled and kissed her on her lips... it wasn't the real thing, but it would do, for now. "Soon... Oh Supergirl, you don't know what you've done..."



Supergirl exactly knew to find the castle-like mansion. It wasn't in Smallville, no, Lex Luthor had ordered to bring the Mansion to Metropolis. Plus, it wasn't the first time she had appeared at his Mansion. She remembered his manipulations when she had lost her memory. Lex Luthor was a heartless bastard, and what he had done with Jan's job.. she would make him pay.



Lex was sitting in his living room enjoying a late night Scotch before he would turn in since he had a newspaper to run. He hadn't counted on Supergirl paying him a visit. "LEX!!" She called and looked at him.



"Supergirl... or should I say Kara Kent. What a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe this visit?" Lex asked, memories of them together back in Smallville running through his mind. He casually sipped his Scotch.



"Don't pretend not to know why I am here. You fired Jan Oramu. Did you know what he would do after you fired him?" Supergirl asked, a not happy emotion on her face, nor a sad one, because that would betray that she cared for Jan... as a friend. It could only be anger.



"Hmm... let's see, try to find another job at say The Inquisitor?" Lex asked. That caused the glass with Scotch to be turned into a million pieces by Supergirl's heat vision.



"NO! He tried to kill himself!" Supergirl yelled at him. "Imagine Jimmy's reaction when Jan would not show up for work tomorrow!"



Lex froze. Jan had actually tried to kill himself due to the fact he had lost his job? He never ever wanted anyone to commit suicide, no matter what a heartless bastard he was. "So I guess you've come here to negotiate Jan's return to work, right? You obviously saved him... since you said he tried to kill himself?" Lex asked, his voice not betraying how angry he was for destroying his glass into a million pieces.



"Yes, Lex, I have." Supergirl said, taking a seat in one of Lex's chairs in front of his desk.



So they discussed Jan's return to work and Lex had promised to accept the reviews and DVD's releases and everything he hadn't thought was Daily Planet-material. Plus... he would give Jan a company credit card.



Supergirl didn't hug Lex Luthor, she didn't want his arms around her ever since that time at Smallville, instead she smiled and thanked him for accepting her visit. Then she flew off again, leaving an evil smiling Lex Luthor behind his desk. Maybe I should give Jan some more gifts... Kara/Supergirl...



Supergirl met up with Superman and discussed their recent patrol of crime activity of Metropolis. "Nothing on my end... except..." Supergirl got out of her costume, now just being Kara. She didn't say anything more, just let Superman get out of his costume, now just being Clark. "Kara, what is it?" Clark asked her. He knew Lois would be worrying sick about him, but he figured that this could not wait.



Her eyes got sad, and tears threatened to spill. "I saved someone from commiting suicide tonight. It's someone we know very well... he's friends with all of you at the Daily Planet. He got sacked by Lex, but I managed to get him back on board."



"Lex fired Jimmy? Oh god Kara, I'm glad you managed to..."

"NO! It isn't Jimmy. It's Jan... don't think you Jimmy would have notified us instead of trying to commit suicide?!" Clark was horrified and wanted to fly off to Jan to see how he was doing.



Kara lay a hand on Clark's arm. "It's okay, it's dealt with. He's alright. Go home to Lois, I'll go home to Jimmy. Let's call it a night." Kara told his cousin.



"But you're not going to tell Jimmy, right? He'd crash and burn if he would find out." Clark said. "That's why we're both keeping it a secret." Kara said and that was the last thing she said to Clark, before she flew toward her apartment that she shared with Jimmy and crawled into bed next to him, who was already sound asleep.

And Clark did the same thing, only to discover an already sleeping Lois.



No, they'd never know what had made Jan, one of the colleagues that they had ACTUALLY contact with outside of work, had tried to do.
