Chapter Text
Lex Luthor had done a lot of stupid things in his life. He had scaled the castle walls when he was 10 without any harness purely because his sister dared him to, he insulted the visiting princess from Czecknia because she insulted his sister, he dropped water buckets on his tutors because they bored him and didn’t let Lena join him because she was a girl. Like all those stupid things that usually ended with his father chastising him, he was doing this for his sister. That and to give a giant middle finger to his parents and all the other nobels.
‘Fucking Idiot.. Lena is going to kill me.. That is if I manage to live to tell the tale’ Lex started thinking.
He was sweating buckets in his leather armour. Lex figured if he were to be killed by a dragon, might as well give it a challenge before he became its lunch.. dinner if he were to go by his current pace.
‘What a glorious end to the Luthor line! The Luthor pride and joy nothing but Dragon food and the smart one would either run away or join the nunnery before she would be wed off to a man. My father would die of grief and my mother of her pride.. There would be songs and tales immortalising my stupidity and this glorious end. Easy for them to say, I am the one who is going to be digested by a dragon!’ Lex started amusing himself with what would be a short future.
As he rode on towards the Daxam tower where the Kryptonian Princess had been locked up after she rejected the Daxamite prince because he wasn't her type. For years the princess had stayed in her castle, last of her people kept away so that only the bravest of the brave may marry her.
Lex himself had a vague idea why she didn’t want to be propositioned, hence why he; the idiot in leather gear rode out to the moors.
He could vaguely make out the shape of the Daxam tower over the horizon. Bolstered by the sight he urged his horse to go faster. With a new burst of energy he raced onto of his horse, quickly covering land and soon within some time he was near the tower. He jumped of his horse and stretched his legs before unloading his provisions.
“You’ve to go back home girl. I’m not coming back. Find Lena first, after she insults me for being irresponsible I am sure she will groom you and find the note I left in the satchel.” Lex tried telling his horse before he send her off.
As she rode off he could hear the roar of a dragon.
‘Bloody hell..’
Lex calmly combed through the last of his provisions. He drank his mead and chewed on a chunk of bread he had as he bundled the rest of into a make-shift backpack. Double checking his daggers and his sword, Lex tied his shocking mane of curly red hair up trudged into the castle.
‘HERE LIES THE BEAUTY OF KRYPTON
ONLY THE BRAVE MAY ENTER
AND SEEK HER HAND
BUT BEWARE THE PERILS FOR YOU WILL FIND MANY
DEATH MAY BE IMMINENT FOR THOSE NOT WARY’
‘Not the most well crafted poetry but it does get the message across.’ Lex thought as he read the bland and foreboding inscription at the gates.
Lex walked softly, his senses alert, his sword ready to strike. As he tiptoed stealthily he began coming across bones and ashes of what he presumed were previous idiots in shining armour.
‘Well the increase in corpses and bones mean I am going the right direction’ Lex reasoned.
From the corner of his eye he saw something slither on his right. Instead of stiffening he loosened his grip on his sword, not to let the dragon know he had seen it. He had seen what happens when you go head to head with a dragon, fighting wasn’t going to help him. As Lex walked on he twirled his sword on one hand and retrieved his mead waterskin with his other. He sneakily also laced the mead with his tiny vial of poison he had around his neck.
He pretended to drink from the waterskin and threw it in the direction of the sparkling scales he spied on his right. He yawned out loud and made a show of spreading his food supplies with his sword out in a corner before he slumped into another corner pretending to sleep.
Opening his eyes ever so slightly he waited for the beast to take his bait. He saw a quick dart of a tail as it snatched his food and retreated back into the shadow and as he waited patiently Lex heard a thud. Opening his eyes, he saw it a giant black dragon head, lying on the floor.
Lex Luthor was no fool he knew the poison mixed with mead would just send the dragon into a lull for sometime and he didn’t waste it.Armed only with daggers he made way to the lone tower quickly. Unhindered by heavy armour Lex raced towards tower and using his momentum, jumped high and used his daggers to dig into the old crumbling tower.
Nimbly he started scaling the wall using the daggers as picks like he had done the castle walls. The window on the tower was thankfully open and Lex tumbled into room where the princess had shut herself in. Before he knew it he a white wolf on him baring its teeth against his throat.
“Let him be Alex. I want to know why after 6 years of me telling every idiotic man I am not interested, someone actually braved a dragon and scaled this tower without a rope. Does the words I am a LESBIAN not ring a bell with any of you idiots?” A voice called back the wolf who glared at him before going to a beautiful blonde woman.
“Oh thank god,” Lex said rubbing his neck nervously “Because I kept thinking on the climb up here that it was going to be a really awkward first meeting, and it’s stupid to really except you to fall in love with me just because I saved you. My name is Lex. Lex Luthor”
“Kara. Kara Zor-El.” Kara was surprised “You’re rather weird. Usually I get guys that demand I fall in love with them because they ‘saved’ me. Which by the way, you didn’t actually do” She points at the window where the dragon was stretching its wings like it had a good nap. “She’s trained, I told her to keep the arseholes away, hence the staged dead bodies and all, I guess she read your intentions are realised you weren’t an arsehole. Thank you for the food by the way. She was getting tired of water, fruits and meat.So was I to be honest”
“Oh.” Lex was starting to feel less jumpy. “So about lesbian thing.. I uh.. God this going to sound weird, but would you consider dating my sister if I brought her to you?”
Kara blinks, opens her mouth and the shuts it. She finally settles on, “Is your sister cute?”
“Um, I don’t know? I mean she is to me, Because she is my sister, Half if you want to get technical” Lex stuttered out not expecting that response. This was going better than he expected. He was alive!
“Describe her then” Kara countered
“Black hair, pale skin, five foot… four, I think? Loves to learn and is currently in the Science Guild. She can fight pretty well too. Her favourite pastime would be working in the lab to find a cure for cancer. She’s 25 and looking for a nice girl to settle down with”
Kara looks at Alex with a glint in her eyes, she did sound interesting. “Fine, I’ll meet her. But why are you acting as the go-between for your sister’s love life?”
Lex grimaced “Father wants to marry her off cause she is gay too. Except my parents think if they throw her at the right dick, she’ll suddenly want that, so…yeah”
Kara burst out int laughter “Oh Rao, you climbed a tower and faced my dragon to wingman for your sister?”
“Yeah?” Lex asked with a questioning grin.
Kara brushed Alex’s fur, before retrieving a satchel from her bed. “I like you. Show me this cute little sister of yours. We’ll take the dragon- let’s see what your folks say when a stolen princess shows up riding a dragon wanting to court his daughter”
“I think they will have a heart attack” Lex grinned boyishly in glee.
“Splendid! Now lets move. Potsticker, come” Kara called out her dragon.
“You named your dragon Potsticker?!” Lex questioned.
“He named himself Potsticker” Kara waved off “Now lets go” She said as she jumped onto the dragons back along with her wolf.
Lex paused for a second before muttering “Oh what the hell, let’s do this” and jumping onto Potsticker’s back.
