Flashback Fic Friday DE

[bjornwilde]

Let's do a fic Friday with a twist today.

A- Comment with the characters you'd like to play with.
B- Look at other players' comments and offer prompts, hopefully getting your own in the mean time.
C- Write a fic from the prompt but set in your character's past.

Hopefully this won't lead to spoilers.

"When I thought my life was over, you gave me a reason to keep going. I wouldn't be who I am without you."

When Tess took over Luthorcorp, she had no idea what she was getting into. But Lex had asked her. Lex had asked her out of all the people he could have given the responsibility to, even if they were few.

And dammit, she wasn't going to let him down.

She didn't. She buckled down and did what she did best - studied. Corporate finances, operations, all the way down to getting the letterhead to print properly, she learned it all.

Business fell, but only for a short period of time. She picked up the slack and reported increases the next quarter. She could do this.

And then it happened. Lex betrayed her. No - he broke her heart. She should have seen it coming, but it blindsided her. What the hell was she supposed to do now? Take it all or watch it burn?

Only time would tell.

"Goodbye, Lex. I loved you, you son of a bitch."

Oh, Tess.

This is achy-wonderful; I love the detail about the company letterhead. Thank you for writing, and for sharing.
