Meeting more people

Lena remembered when Lex had been arrested, all the paparazzi that had crowded around her home hoping to get a reaction shot, something to post in some trashy paper or other to try and paint her as mourning her mad brother's capture. Somehow she thought she preferred those camera lenses to the ones she was faced with now.

"I-is all this really necessary?" Lena said, unable to keep from flushing.

"The brief we got was to make sure people know you're in the same boat as them," the photographer said; she seemed bizarrely unaffected by her own nudity, which wasn't particularly helping Lena. "A role model, or at least a companion. Ok, little to the left..."

A white screen behind her, a stool to sit on; it was remarkably hard to keep her balance on it while also keeping her legs crossed, with no back to lean on and her arms too busy crossing over her tits to help keep upright.

Her cheeks heated up all the more as the camera clicked again and again. And-

"Ah!" Lena swayed back, hurriedly dropping her arms to grab the seat under her, righting her balance. The camera clicked again, and Lena yelped; she crossed her arms again as quickly as she could, clutching her tits behind her forearms, suddenly hyperaware that was the only cover she'd ever be able to manage again.

She didn't know how she felt about Kara and Nia being there. Catco had at least been sympathetic in not having anyone but the photographer on set, and Kara was there for moral support, and Nia because she seemed particularly nervous and in need of Kara's presence too.

The two were against the back wall, both flustered, both trying to cover, relaxing slightly from the fact they weren't the center of attention. No, they were just two more pairs of eyes watching Lena pose nude.

"Don't publish that one!" Lena said, voice a little high.

"Hm?" the photographer said.

"My arms were down," Lena said. "I- I don't want the city to just see everything."

"It's just a body," the photographer shrugged. Lena bit back a whimper; why did she have to get someone that didn't seem to care at all about being naked?!

"I agreed to this to help people," Lena said. "Not to show off my- It's a role model thing. Like you said. Please don't take more photos like that."

Alex and Maggie drove as quickly as they could to the foot of the DEO building; Maggie drove with one hand on the wheel, the other over her chest. Alex was lucky enough to cross both arms; even with one another's company, they could still be seen through the windows. Being naked was still blush-worthy, but at least they only had to worry about strangers outside. 'Only,' Alex rolled her eyes, cheeks still burning.

Maggie parked, nervously glancing up and down the street. It was quieter at least, as good as empty; the DEO wouldn't put a base in a busy corner of the city. Relaxing, Maggie exhaled, clicking the handbrake on and dropping both of her arms. After a moment Alex did the same, though she kept glancing outside too.

"So. Uh. We're here," Maggie said.

She tried to focus on Alex's face, but it was hard. Even if she knew how the rest of her ex looked, that only encouraged her to refresh the memories. As beautiful as ever, maybe even a touch more firm.

"Y-yeah," Alex said, voice high.

For her part, the distraction of Maggie's body was a welcome one, giving her something else to focus on. Haley could be a pain to deal with at the best of times, marching naked in front of her was even more embarrassing a prospect.

"So, is my DEO clearance still active?" Maggie said.

"Huh?" Alex said, blinking, drawn out of her reverie of staring.

"Don't really want to wait in the car," Maggie said. "Inside's sounding pretty good about now."

"Y-yeah, sure," Alex said. "I'm still the Director. You've been in before, it's nothing new."

"Thanks," Maggie said.

That was step one; step two was actually getting inside. Maggie glanced around the street again, and when none of the distant passers-by seemed to be looking her direction, she quickly opened her door and darted over to the DEO entrance.

Alex clambered from her seat; it was a slightly undignified movement, made all the more humiliating by having her bare ass up in the air, but she squirmed over to the driver's seat, and so out through the same door as Maggie, panting. There was no way she was going to run the extra distance around the car.

"Elevator?" Alex said breathlessly.

"So long as it's empty," Maggie said.

Alex Danvers, Director of the DEO, gave a mad run through the bottom floor of the building, too panicked to remember to cross her arms. She hastily reached the elevator, banging on the switch, and pressing as close to the doors as possible, cheeks burning at the thought of how many colleagues could now see her behind.

She gasped in relief as the doors finally opened, and slammed the button to close them as soon as Maggie was in. She relaxed more then, typing in the code to get to the more secure upper level as Maggie stood beside her, trying to subtly check out her ex.

"You made Director?" Maggie said after a moment.

"What? Oh, uh, yeah," Alex said. "While ago now. J'onn left to focus on other things."

"Heard that," Maggie said. "We move in the same circles, didn't know you'd replaced him though. Nice job."

"Thanks," Alex said.

She almost chuckled. It felt strange to have so blase a conversation given their situation, stark naked together in a lift with a near-certain chance of never getting dressed again.

Alex exhaled, slumping back against the capsule wall and taking the few moments of rest she'd had since Erin had arrived on this Earth. Out of the corner of her eye, Maggie made extra sure to memorise how Alex looked standing straight; modest tits, a tiny patch of auburn between her legs, small nipples hardened to peaks by the cool air, a slightly toned and feminine abdomen.

She quickly cleared her throat, looking away when Alex opened her eyes.

And then the elevator pinged, door opening; the peaceful moment over, Alex squeaked and quickly crossed her arms over her front again. Haley had better not expect her to salute again.

"Where to?" Maggie whispered.

"Follow me!" Alex said.

Forget dignity. She hurried as quickly as she could to her office, where the meetings usually took place. It nothing else it was private and, unlike Catco, the DEO invested in opaque walls.

Breathless, she moved inside; Maggie slipped in after her, all too grateful when the door closed and hid her behind from view.

"Colonel Haley-" Alex began instinctively, seeing a figure at the far end of the room. Then suddenly she caught herself.

It wasn't Haley. Dark, slightly wavy hair against much paler skin, arms crossed fervently over her tits, sat at Alex's desk. Alex was a little jealous of the cover; she blinked.

"Lucy?!" Alex said.

Lucy Lane suddenly flushed, yelping suddenly at their sudden entrance, arms adjusting just slightly. She shifted, pulling herself closer to the desk.

"What are you..."

"Haley's called in every sick day and vacation day she has, and then some," Lucy said. "Wish I'd thought of that. As former Director they picked me as liaison, flew me over immediately. Only got in a little bit ago."

She squirmed. While she spoke Alex and Maggie looked awkwardly at each other; there really was no natural way to carry on a conversation nude.

They used chairs Alex normally used for meetings, sitting opposite Lucy's desk, and using a spare file each, holding it over their fronts. It just about covered Alex's nipples and cunt, so long as she didn't breathe too hard; anything immediately above or below, or to the sides of that rectangle, was in full view.

She glanced sideways, briefly distracted as Maggie struggled to get the same decency. Her cheeks still flamed.

"This is... kind of a big deal," Lucy said. "The DEO's at the forefront; it's why they got me out here so quickly. Whyever we're... naked is probably alien, so-"

"It's not," Alex said, then squeaked as two pairs of eyes went to her. "I mean- I saw a meta. Team can tell you way too much about it. It's her doing, nothing alien."

"Ok," Lucy said. She hesitated. "Can we still deal with it?"

"I don't know how," Alex said.
