Lord has a request...

Finally, the lift opened, and Lord was the first to step out. Standing aside, he beckoned Supergirl to join him, and then signalled for the assistant to go fetch something from a trolley a few feet away. The room they were now in was huge. A vast open space filled with equipment, lab setups, stacks of boxes, and at least a dozen lab-coat attired scientists. "Supergirl, you're welcome to look around at anything you would like. But first, just to satisfy my curiosity, would you be so kind as to place your hands behind your back?"

Suddenly she felt very nervous, like she had made a big mistake. The way he was speaking was very suspicious, and part of her wanted to fly out of the lift this instant. But she didn’t do that, and instead she stayed.

Why? She didn’t know. Was it because he told her to have a look at his lab?

When they arrived at the Lord’s lab and exited the elevator. Kara began to look around at the equipment, but before she could have a good look Lord asked her to put her hands behind her back. She complied and did just that. “Yeah okay, but why?” she asked, her hands now behind her back.

Lord smiled widely. "Well, isn't that interesting." He walked slowly around so that he was now standing behind Supergirl. She did indeed have her hands behind her back, and Lord took in the view for a moment while he waited for his assistant to return. When he did, the assistant was carrying a simple pair of handcuffs that had been part of a security kit left in the lab.

"You asked why. As you can see we're in a lab, and I consider myself something of a scientist as well as a businessman." Lord leaned in and breathed down her neck. "I always feel we should have more than one side to ourselves, I'm sure you agree!" He placed the handcuffs in one of Supergirl's hands, and then walked back around to face her. "Indulge my scientific curiosity, please. We know you can't be hurt physically. Both yourself and your insufferable cousin have proved that enough times already. But I have a hypothesis. So, let's see how it plays out, shall we?" He smiled and took a deep breath in. "Please place the cuffs on your wrists."
