yesokayiknow:

so at first people think that superwomen should have a
luthor nemesis, because every super has one

kara: i don’t???

everyone: lillian

kara: oh yeah i guess she is kind of my archenemy—

livewire: um exCUSE ME???????

kara: WHERE DID YOU EVEN COME FROM

this obviously doesn’t reflect well on lena (though when
does anything), and lucy makes an effort to tell people that she thinks lena is a good person. there
are still people who think it’s some kind of elaborate ruse though, because of course there are

lena, later: don’t worry about it. there’s nothing you can
do to make them stop

lucy: what if i punch them

alex: no i already tried that. didn’t work

lucy: what if i blow up their cars

alex: no i already tried that. didn’t work

lucy: what if—

lena: this is why people think i’m a supervillain

and yeah, once they all learn her secret identity alex 100%
offers to be her nemesis and she’s mostly (…..probably mostly) joking, but then an alien dies in a shootout but the deo need cadmus to think they’re still alive for an operation and alex is the only one who fits the costume
and has the spare time, so clearly she’s the only one for the job.

kara: no??????????

alex: but i’ve already cleared out my calendar

kara: you have a calendar????

alex: yes?? how else would i know when my experiments are done??

kara: but you don’t label your experiments??????

alex: what’s your point

and obviously she doesn’t have to face up against
only lucy, but there’s no way she’s
raising a hand against kara, and james only tends to fight crime at night??? so yeah, alex becomes lucy’s archenemy for about a month.

all their fights have a lot of weird ust and they spend most of them trying to one up each other with ridiculously corny one liners and sometimes lucy drops by catco and spreads rumours about alex’s alter ego and sometimes alex visits maggie’s precinct and very loudly mocks superwoman and alex figures out a way to hurt lucy so quickly that it’s actually kind of worrying and lucy actually breaks alex’s ribs and kara probably loses a good chunk of her hair through worry.

alex and lucy both agree that it was the best month ever.

eventually though it sort of becomes a running joke that
she doesn’t have an archenemy???

so just like

vasquez: so who’s your enemy this week

lucy: jeans without pockets

vasquez: same

and

lucy to the alien whose ass she just kicked: sorry to dash
but i’ve got to go face my true enemy: global
warming

and

j’onn: agent lane could you fill out this paperwork please

lucy: but it’s my nemesis!!

j’onn: lane i swear to god i’m two seconds away from firing
you

which all comes to a head when a lucky reporter manages to
catch her after a big battle and asks if she actually has a nemesis and lucy
answers ‘capitalism’.

it takes the internet all of ten minutes to turn socialist!superwoman into a meme.

lucy, reverently: this is the best thing that i have ever and will ever achieve in my entire life

j’onn: well it was nice but i’ve decided to leave earth forever
