Supercorp

"Supergirl may have saved me but, Kara Danvers, you are my hero"

- Lena

Supercorp is the femslash ship between Kara and Lena from the Supergirl fandom.

Season 2
Kara and Lena meet when Clark and Kara pay a visit investigating an explosion caused by a LuthorCorp oscillator. Lena spars with Clark over the public assumption about her because of her last name and offhandedly dismisses Kara and CatCo as serious journalism. Lena states her thesis for recovering from her brother's evil deeds and rebranding the Luthor name to make her own mark in the world, which Kara understands and so voices. Lena gives them the info they need on the oscillator and they leave her office. When Lena later leaves in a chopper, she's attacked by drones but covered by Superman and Supergirl, with Kara staying to save Lena's life. Kara informs Lena that someone's trying to kill her. Despite this, Lena decides to go ahead with a renaming ceremony for the rebranded LCorp, where she walks and talks with Kara about the challenge of it. Kara tells her it's risky, but Lena reiterates her need to be remembered for more than her mass murdering step-brother, which Kara seems in awe of. As Lena takes the stage, two explosions go off and people panic. Lena comes across and officer who turns out to be the she's held at gunpoint by John Corben, but he is thwarted by Alex Danvers. Supergirl tries to stop him but he holds Alex and makes to leave before Lena shoots him in the back. Supergirl stands shocked at Lena's resolution and nerve. Back at her company, Lena thanks Clark for his story and expresses her wish that she and Kara cross paths again, which Kara reciprocates. When Presiden Marsdin is set to sign an Executive Order, The Alien Amnesty Act, Kara's assigned to talk with Lena about her take on it. They establish a first-name basis, and Lena's response to Kara's query is to present her latest invention: an Alien detection device. Lena shows Kara how it works and asks Kara to test it herself, but Kara swiftly makes the counter-argument for its encroachment on Alien privacy. Lena believes that human's have 'a right to know' if their friends are aliens. As Lena looks away, Kara quickly uses her heat-vision to tamper with the device and when Lena asks her to go ahead with trying it, it turns green, indicating that Kara is not an alien, to Kara's relief. After publishing her interview with Lena, Kara comes by as Lena asked to see her and she compliments Kara's writing. Kara admits that she wrote a scathing piece on Lena's device at first, but her editor demanded a re-write, which had Kara reconsider her position and Lena's. Lena mentions her brother again and says that it taught her that sometimes you need to protect yourself against bad people, which Kara concedes that some aliens can be, referring to Mon-El.

After an attack on National City Children's Hospital's new building, Lena decides to host a fundraiser with her company to help the hospital and she invites Kara to be her guest. Kara agrees, saying she'd be honoured to attend. Lena later drops by Kara's flat to ask her help in tracking down Supergirl, whom Lena needs a favour from. Lena also properly meets Alex for the first time, thanking Alex for saving her life. Kara agrees and later shows up at LCorp, where Lena then 'meets' Supergirl properly, too, for the first time. Lena asks Kara to be security at the party and Kara has her doubts of the risk involved. Lena's concerned that Kara might be judging her prematurely by the longstanding animosity between Superman and Lex, but Supergirl assures her she does not. Lena also appeals to Supergirl's understanding of taking risks to do what is right and she agrees to come to Lena's benefit, although, as she leaves, Kara frets over having to attend as both Kara and Supergirl. At the party, Winn helps Kara by creating diversions so she can greet Lena as both herself and Supergirl. When the Cadmus-weaponised gang arrives, they fight Supergirl and Winn gets knocked under the stage where Lena is readying a device to take out the goons. She succeeds and destroys their weapons, leading to their easy capture. Kara later visits LCorp and talks to Lena about her plan, which Lena says she didn't include Supergirl in as she didn't think Supergirl would believe a Luthor would try to save people. Lena expresses her joy that Supergirl does seem to be ready to have a good relationship with her and Kara thanks Lena for her help in catching the gang. Without realising it, Kara also briefly meets Lena's mother before leaving. In time, Kara comes to support Lena when others question her company due to the bleak Luthor reputation and they become friends. Their relationship quickly intensifies and Lena becomes Kara's best friend. They have an easy chemistry and bond as two strong women in their working and personal lives. Lena's relationship with her family is antagonistic at best and she is continually disappointed by who she discovers is actually her adoptive mother. When Lena's ex-boyfriend comes to National City and is murdered by her, as it was either him or Supergirl who was in danger at that time, a devastated Lena is comforted by Kara, who promises she will never leave the lonely Lena — that their bond is everlasting. Kara is beside herself when Mon-El's mother abducts Lena and does everything in her power to rescue her best friend, while Lena's smarts and technical prowess helps Kara board the ship where they're held.

Season 3
Following Mon-El's departure, Lena tries to reach her best friend who is keeping everyone at a distance. Under threat to be bought by a sexist moron, CatCo is rescued by Lena who decides to invest in the company to prevent Edge's propaganda and to further give something valuable to the citizens of National City and beyond. It finds Lena being Kara's boss, something they both have to adapt to which leads to conflict when Kara rebuffs Lena's concern while also neglecting her work. They later make up and Kara apologises, talking to her best friend about what's really going on with her.

Lena continually supports Kara through her heartbreak and the best friends become closer than ever, all the while figuring out their new dynamic of working together. Lena worries that as a Luthor she is destined for evil deeds or — at the very least — to always be haunted by her family's nefarious history in both her work and personal life. Thankfully, Lena doesn't shut off but decides to confide in Kara her doubts which Kara helps thwart. Following Lena's ordeal with being accused by Edge of poisoning kids, Lena, Kara, Sam and Alex become something of a family unit, always standing by each other.

Lena's romance with James doesn't wreak havoc with her and Kara's friendship, despite Kara's past with James. Lena and Kara's relationship does suffer when Kara learns that Lena had some Kryptonite that she never told anyone about, although she claims what they used was the last. Kara suspects Lena might have more kryptonite and asks James to break into LutherCorp to find out. Nevertheless, they work together to help save Sam from Reign in the dark forest plane, without hindrance of mistrust between them. After James tells Lena what Supergirl asked of him, Lena becomes increasingly distrustful of Supergirl and tells her so, when Supergirl tries to establish a truce between them. Lena tells Supergirl that they were never friends and, with Lena's history, trust broken is a faux-pas. Lena also tells off Supergirl for her double standards regarding trust. The strain on Lena and Supergirl's relationship takes its toll on Kara, although she remains determined to hide her alter ego from Lena to protect her.

Lena seems to have surmised that they are one and the same, but doesn't let on in her interactions with Kara, leaving it uncertain whether she knows Kara's secret identity. Lena remains friends with Kara and even throws her a goodbye party when Kara decides to live on Argo City. With Kara away, Lena and Alex also work together to help Sam, in which Alex seems to trust Lena despite knowing everything in the Supegirl/Lena conflict. Despite all this, their conflict seems to calm a bit as Kara returns to Earth to help stop Reign once and for all.

Season 4
6 months pass after Sam was saved, and for a while Lena goes to the LCorp Metropolis branch to help settle Sam as the head of that department. Lena returns and Kara is overjoyed to see her again at CatCo. Lena gives Kara information for an article on the family's former bodyguard, Mercy Graves, and also gathers intel on Graves by visiting her mother, Lillian Luthor, in prison, where Supergirl also shows up, surprised to find Lena. Kara and Lena have lunch together at LCorp when Graves attacks the building. Kara, Lena and Eve Teschmacher are together as the building's put on lockdown, but are chased by Graves and attempt to escape through the security mechanisms. Kara hilariously tries to separate herself from them to become Supergirl, while Lena insists Kara will be the safest with her. "The Luthor name doesn't deserve Lena!"

- Kara, to Mercy Graves

Eventually Kara manages to leave the room in time to save Lena from Mercy Graves. Mercy and Otis are briefly incarcerated at the DEO, but let out by a DEO defector. The Graves siblings and Agent Liberty release Kryptonite into the air and Kara is infected. J'onn manages to catch her just before she plummets to her death, but Kara's condition is critical. Alex summons Lena to the DEO and Lena arrives exuding a mix of determination to help and anguish at the state Supergirl is in. Lena encapsulates Kara in a suit which cleanses the air of Kryptonite to allow Kara to survive until they figure out a way to remove the Kryptonite from the atmosphere. Lena and Brainy figure out a way to do so, and Kara remains in the suit until the air is fully cleansed, with Lena on coms to tell her that she is finally free again.

To have some fun, Kara gathers her friends for a brunch, which Lena also attends and where they toast to having a good time. Lena is also over at Kara's for Thanksgiving dinner and meets Kara's mother, Eliza, for the first time. They all discuss the rise of hate in the world and Kara feels that regular people are powerful in their own right, where Lena suggests giving 'good' humans alien-level powers to minimize fear. Without telling anyone but Eve, Lena performs her first test on a human subject, while Kara is nearly killed by the Agent Liberty militia.
