Suits Fanfiction: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter story

Author's note: Another Harvey story. I had been inspired to write for the last three days, so much so that I had decided to create this fan page. I had a lot of different ideas for this story, so I had some trouble piecing it together. But this has to be my favorite story by far.

If there's one thing Harvey didn't have, it was a weakness. He was a legend in the courtroom and he had been successful in almost everything he did all his life. Fear was not apart of his vocabulary, until he met her. She was the Lex Luthor to his Superman. She was his kryptonite.

Chapter 1: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter fanfiction

Harvey Specter was the best closer in town. He was a legend in the streets of New York City. All the men wanted to be him and all the women wanted to be with him and then there were those who just flat out feared him.

 

He was definitely in control. There weren’t a lot of things that Harvey couldn’t do. He had a way of dealing with people. The cocky son of a bitch had swagger and he could turn any maybe or no into an instant yes. Experience had made him cold and emotionless. Harvey was ruthless.

 

These attributes weren’t exactly the best of qualities in a man, but they looked good on him and fitted to his personality. No one was like the legendary Harvey Specter.

 

Harvey was walking to his office, when Jessica stopped him and called him to hers. He had been working on the initial public offering of one of the most promising tech firms to revolutionize green energy for quite some time now and the IPO was nearing the quiet period, so he figured Jessica probably just wanted an update.

 

“Jessica! What can I do for you?” Harvey asked with a big grin on his face.

 

His smile could have made a blind woman see and knock the panties off any other woman, but not Jessica. She was as extraordinary as he was ruthless. Plus she knew Harvey all too well to fall for his dapper charm.

 

“Are we all set for the Lawrence Walter’s IPO?” She asked.

“As ready as we'll ever be,” He replied quoting the 1962 box office film, The Longest Day.

“Good to know. I knew you were the man for the job, Maverick!” she replied calling him by the name of his favorite character from the movie Top Gun.

“Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy,” he joked back.

“Is there anything else I could do for you, Jessica?” he asked immediately wishing he could take back what he had just said. He loathed how Jessica devious was sometimes. She certainly knew how to play with people.

 “Glad you asked Harvey. We’ve done everything we could from the legal/ business standpoint for the Green Energy (GE) IPO. All there is to do is to make sure that Lawrence’s daughter, the heir apparent of the company known to be a loose cannon doesn’t screw things up for the image of the company.” She explained.

“What do you want me to do? Tie her up and lock her in the Bat Cave until the hush period is over?” he quipped.

“Make sure that things go according to plan by babysitting her Harvey,” she checked her phone to see if any new messages had come in.

 

“I can’t do that Jessica. I have better things to do than babysitting a privileged trust fund brat who probably has too much money issues. I’ve got the Davis, Coleman, and Williams case to defend,” he argued.

“Then outsource those to Mike like you always do. This IPO is top priority Harvey and I want my best guy on the job for this,” she said sternly indicating that he had no choice.

“You owe me! Besides this will be good for you. It might give you a taste of your own medicine after all the shenanigans you’ve pulled throughout the years,” The woman said with grace still sounding as elegant as ever.

“I would prefer it if you stuck me with half a dozen pro bono cases instead of punishing me with a high maintenance rich kid who can’t handle her good fortune. See I did a little digging on the kid and the last thing I would like to do is deal with that,“ he suggestively countered.

Unlike the kid, Harvey wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he had he had earned on his own with perseverance and dedication. He hated seeing the privileged youth squander away their wealth and so willingly tarnish their reputation just for a good time.

Chapter 2: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter fanfiction

Alex walked through the halls of Pearson Hardman. She had a meeting with the managing partner Jessica Pearson about proper conduct during the Green Energy IPO. Her father had insisted that they take that extra step as a precaution and she agreed knowing how much the company meant to the older Walters.

Alex was early and she had heard bits and pieces of Jessica's conversation with Harvey. At that moment, she decided to toy with the great Harvey Specter who’s unorthodox law practices she had heard about from her father.  He was uptight and his ego needed to be knocked down a peg or two, she thought.

She shimmied out of her blazer revealing a provocative black lace bustier which overly emphasized her already large breasts and cut above her midriff. She proceeded to stuff the blazer into her oversized handbag before stepping into Jessica's office with a flask in hand.

"Hi! I'm Alexis Walters and you must be Harvey Specter. The minder daddy hired to keep me away from trouble." She stuck her hand out and grinned sheepishly from ear to ear.

"Jessicaaa!!!" Harvey said pleading.

 

"You know Louis is more of the disciplinarian of the firm. He manages all the Pearson Hardman associates, so why not give him the babysitting job?" He added.

 

A gentleman, Harvey removed his jacket draping it on her shoulders to cover her exposed skin. He regretted doing that as he felt slightly naked in the office in just a long sleeved shirt and tie without his top coat, but it was better him than her.

 

"Harvey, Louis is swamped with the Paxton Swire merger and need I remind you that you owe me one?" Jessica retorted. Now it was her time to smirk.

 

He sighed in defeat. ‘You owe me one,’ those four words were the bane of his present existence. Harvey had always been the one to utter those four words and was rarely at the receiving end. As much as he hated hearing those words, he respected the contract implied and ceded knowing that he wasn't in control. Jessica was and he had no choice but to make sure the demon child was kept under control.

 

“Fine, I need to do something in my office. Lex Luthor, if you please, come with me,” he said as he motioned to the door.

Chapter 3: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter fanfiction

She was Lex Luthor to his Superman. Alexis Walters often referred to as Alex Walters was Lex Luthor, he thought.

 

She was extremely wealthy woman born of privilege, proficient with technology and had a genius-level intelligence. Heiress to the Walters Group of companies, she had friends in all the wrong places which often made her the subject of tabloids and the paparazzi.

Her striking looks drove men crazy. Alex Luthor was a temptress. She had long black curls up to her waist, a ravishing body and amber eyes. Her eyes were the color of honey. They were warm and looked sweet and innocent but at the same time sexy. She could have any man she wanted. In fact, Alexis Walters’ track record was even bigger than Harvey’s having dated actors, musicians and rich businessmen alike.

“Awww come on Harvey! Aren’t you done yet?” she said playing with her hair.

“I bet you know how to show a girl how to have a good time,” she flirted taking another chug at her flask.

“Here I thought I was with New York's finest bachelor, but you’re just an empty suit. Thanks for lending me your top coat by the way. You probably feel powerless without it, kinda like how Superman feels at the sight of kryptonite,” she added.

“Enough with the alcohol!” He said taking the flask from her and chugging the rest of the contents down. It had been water and she was not inebriated at all. She had been toying with him and he had fallen for it. Alex smirked at Harvey.

She was his kryptonite.

Chapter 4: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter fanfiction

He grabbed her hand walking outside his office, down the elevator to the parking lot. She had no choice but to keep up with his pace. He was raging with anger and had had it with the childish games.

“Let me go or I’ll scream, I believe this is called harassment, Mr. Specter.” Alex said.

“Listen up young lady! Your daddy maybe one of the richest men in New York, but it doesn’t give you any right to act like a spoiled little bitch. There are a million better things I could do, but instead I'm stuck with you for the next three months. So I suggest you behave yourself or else I won’t be so nice the next time.” He let go of her hand. He rarely lost his control, but she knew how to push his buttons.

She was evil he concluded.

Alex sat in his car quietly trying not to piss Harvey off as he drove to her condo. She decided to end the games and tell him the truth when they reached her home. He had probably suffered enough and truth be told babysitting wasn’t in the job description of a senior partner. Maybe they could be civil if she initiated a truce, she thought.

Chapter 5: Kryptonite, a Harvey Specter fanfiction

Alex grabbed her key from her purse and swiped it in the key hole opening the door to her lavish four room penthouse which occupied the entire floor. She proceeded to turn on the lights and looked at Harvey pointing straight across the hall.

"There's a guest bedroom at the end of the hallway, feel free to make yourself at home... and Harvey" she paused grabbing a now crumpled blazer from her oversized bag and raising it in the air as a sign of surrender. He looked at her with a blank expression not knowing where this was going.

"About my behavior earlier, I was only messing with you. I overheard you telling Jessica that I was the devil’s spawn, so I decided to have a little fun with you. I admit that I have a bad girl image because of what I have done in my teenage years, but I’ve completely changed and you had no right to judge me when you don't even know me. Your perception of me is what is portrayed in the media, but I’m not some messed up teen anymore. I don't need a babysitter and I promise I won't get in your way.”

She closed the door to her room without giving him a chance to respond. Dumbfounded, Harvey stood in the same position he was in for a while before he could recover. She had toyed with him and he failed to see right through her. He considered himself a good poker player but she was an even better one.

 

‘That naughty little devil’ he thought laughing at how easily he could be played by a woman. He looked around the apartment. It was very much like his. Modern cold and it felt empty even with all the expensive furniture and baubles adorning the room’s interior.

Minutes later she emerged in the living room in a baggy t-shirt and some shorts. She looked normal rather somewhat nerdy but with a hint of sexiness. Far from the seductress he had met earlier. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and she had thick glasses covering half her face. She was juggling her laptop in one hand and some paperwork in the other.  Harvey couldn't help but smile at how different she looked from earlier.

"I appreciate a good prank every once in a while, but that was just cruel" Harvey said coolly, smiling for the first time since she had seen him. "But you do know that payback's a bitch and not only am I one to get even, but one to always stay ahead." He smirked.

“Suck it up Harvs, its Alex - 1  and Harvey – 0. Accept your defeat with grace.” she stuck her tongue out. He laughed at her antics and loosened up, realizing that she wasn't going to be a problem and she was just giving him a hard time for being a prick earlier.

He had an infectious laugh, she thought, trying to concentrate at the screen in front of her to no avail. Here she was with a stunning piece of specimen any girl would jump at the chance to bone and all she could do was gawk at him.

He leaned in to peer at her laptop screen and gently closed the screen. She looked at him sardonically.

“Is this what you do when you have guests over, ignore them?”

She stared at him, and said, “Mr. Specter, I believe the definition of a guest is a person who has been invited to one’s home and not tasked to babysit that person,” she replied cleverly.

“Harvard would like to retract your diploma and send you back to preschool for that dumbass comment,” she continued.

He laughed. She was a firecracker and he liked that in a woman. ‘No wonder she had many suitors knocking at her door,’ he thought.

“I need a drink!” he replied with a sexy smirk on his face. ‘Who was she to deny the man his libations?’ She thought.
