- It was finally Friday, early in the morning and Alex was getting; but even for Alex it was a way to early. But she had to make the most of the day, because Ruby had invited her to a school presentation she had today. And Alex had promised her she would defently go and see her perform, she was excited to see the kid but Alex wouldn't lie saying that she didn't have hidden reasons to go to the high school, for some reason she really wanted to go and see Lucy too, not just Ruby. She did not know why but the first time they meet and talked, she felt a weird connection with the girl.

Yeah, the kid might had been disrespectful and fierce, but she still thought there was something else with Lucille. Alex felt she knew that kid, the agent didn't know from where or when she had seen her before. But she still thinks that there was something else with Lucille, Alex didn't know if it was something good or something bad. But for now, the Agent didn't want to think about it; she had to get ready for the day so she got up from bed grumbling, then make her way to the kitchen and make her coffee.

10 minutes later she was taking her clothes and heading to the bathroom to take a bath. After a while, it was 8:30 of the morning and Alex was about to head to de DEO, still  trying to connect neurons but alive. There was just too much things in her mind to deal with. Today she would try and talk with Kara to confess her what was going on with her. Because even if she hated to admit it, she needed help.

Any of this was normal, all of this was dangerous, and she knew that Kara was worried about her because Alex knew she has been behaving wierd the last few weeks. A while more and the agent had  arrived to the agency, she was nervous because she and Kara were going to have lunch and that's when she was planning telling Kara all the thing, Alex had 3 hours more to find the correct words to tell Kara and don't sound like she was going crazy...

- Fuck, fuck, fuck was all Lucy was thinking at the moment. As always, she was already going late to school, thankfully Mr Adams wasn't home because if he had find out she was late, Lucy knew she wouldn't be able to stand up tomorrow, and that was something Lucille didn't want. She had just leave Sophie in her school and now she had less than 10 minutes to get to hers. And today Lucy had a test, she couldn't be late or Tom would defently kill her.

Right now she arrived to Midvale Highschoo; yes, she was out of breath, almost dying and regretting not having breakfast this morning but it was better if Sophie ate, her sister was a kid in growing process who needed more to eat than Lucy herself. Her body was hurting as hell, specially her ribcage today, while she was taking a shower she checked all of her bruises and they didn't look any good. But all her worries were in if she was going to be able to sing at night.

If she doesn't perform, Lucy knows she would be in deep shit, but for know she had to set aside her thoughts and focus on her test. It was a little hard, Lucille would admit, there was just a lot to think about; ever since she meet the Agent, Lucy couldn't stop thinking about her, which bothered the kid because she didn't know the Agents name. But she just felt comfortable with her and Lucy almost never felt comfortable with anyone, just with Eve who is basically family to her, Sophie her sister and Noah her best friend and now this lady comes to ruin everything! But Lucy wouldn't admit it out loud.

Now, she had to make a test she didn't study for, lucy would just pray to God to help her out. Thankfully, it was a science test, which was her favorite subject and was good at it. An hour later, she finished her test and would say she felt confident about her answers. The rest of the day by, and now Lucille was making her way to pick up Sophie and then back home. She made dinner, left her sister in a friend's and then back to School.

Now Lucy's Fuck fuck fuck, was because she was very nervous. The song they had assigned, was hard and had really high notes. But she had 15 minutes before her presentation to calm her anxiety. Before her, it was this girl Ruby Arias turn. The 13 year old just sat there and heard the young Arias sing, and even say that the kid sang good. She was managing to calm down, until she felt a heavy and rough hand on her shoulder, a feeling Lucy already knew really well.

It was Tom's hand, with a really strong grip; the next thing the young girl knew was that Tom was bending down to Lucy's ear to start whispering. "You already know brat, if you fail; there will be consequences" Mr Adams thick voice sounded in Lucy's ear, just to get the kid even more nervous.  "Yeah! I know, it's not the first time you tell me this Tom. I'll try not to fail, it's not like I would do it on purpose. There's no need to threathen me, so go to hell" Lucille snapped at Tom. She just needed to focus and the guy wasn't helping a little. Lucy's thoughts were interruptef by the presenter.

-"Yes, I know everybody is having fun. Some presentations more and  unfortunately we will be done! For now we have one of our best singers. Everybody welcome Lucille!" That was her signal. So she just took a deep breath and tried to hide her nervousness; and then, she stepped into the scenario and walked to the center of the place. Lucy took the microphone, close her eyes, another breath and the music started.

Two minutes later she ended, and her hands were shaking. Shit. Lucy thought, she had messed up to notes and it was barely noticeable. But Tom would be or already is mad at her. But it wasn't time to be panicking, she thanked everyone and stepped out. Lucy make her way into the bathroom with trembling hands and quick breathes. Her presentation wasn't perfect and now she would be in trouble, Lucy tried to control her breathing and just started drinking water and just close her eyes and try to think in other things.

She was getting to calm until she heard the door slamming open and then closing. Lucille didn't bother to open her eyes, she knew who was it. "I thought I told you to don't messed up the things; See! You're nothing more than a disappointment" Tom said while pulling the kids hair hardly. "Why can't you ever do anything right? You always ruin everything, the presentation, your test grade, your parents life and mine" Tom was strongly pushing his nails in the girl's face. A tear felt down Lucy's face, she could feel a faint sting where his nails were. "Why are you crying? Stop being ridiculous. You're 12 years old, start behaving like it. You have to mature, bitch!" Tom once again talked "Clean yourself, I want you home early tomorrow; you'll be grounded" Thst was the last thing Tom said before stepping put of the bathroom "Yes sir" Quietly answered Lucy, while she watched Tom go.

After the asshole left, Lucy calm herself down. Then another person stepped into the bathroom, it was Ruby Arias a.k.a Rama girl, she always faked she didn't know anyone's name; it make things easier. But when the Arias girl saw Lucy her eyes grew bigger and froze in place. Lucille just raise one eyebrow perfectly at her and finished washing her hands.

-"Weren't you going to do something? Stop staring at me, weirdo" Lucy said sighing. "I- I'm sorry, didn't want to bother you. B- but you don't have to be rude, you know? You don't have to call me that" Ruby nervously answered. "Okay! I don't care if you like it or not. You're nothing did you hear me you're nothing. You still wonder why you don't have friends? I can make you a list of things that are wrong with you." After that, Lucy saw how the other girl tried to hide that she wanted to cry and Lucille felt terrible for making her cry. But she put on her brave face and saw the girl living.

Ruby just ran, untill she bumped her aunt Lena, Kara and Alex and of course her mom. Who got worried when she saw her daughter cry. But Sam just hugged her daughter and tried to calm her down, after a while the older Arias talked "Ruby... Baby, I need you to calm down, can you tell me what's wrong?" she asked with caressing the girl's hair. "Mom, I-I she,  lucy she said sh-e said" Ruby tried to talked but couldn't finish; it wasn't necessary, the Alien could easily figured out the rest. But didn't say anything she just limited to comfort her child.

-"That little shi-" Lena started by a "Oh! No my daughter no. I'm not letting that girl hurt Rubes, I'll go and have a conversation with that bully" of Sam who was obviously mad. "No, that won't work. I already tried talking to her;I tried it myself and even freaked me out" Alex added herself to the conversation. "What? When? When did you- You know what I don't care, but Sam we are going with you. Maybe if we all talk to her she might get that what she's doing is not okay" the blonde kryptonian said  "Yeah, okay just give me a minute. Don't go without me" The rest of the girls nodded and wait patiently for  Sam who was living her daughter in the car.

Then they started searching for Lucy, and found her with some other people loughing. But when she saw Alex rolled her eyes at her and approached the group of adults. "Agent Freak, what are you doing in here?" Lucy was the first one to talked "It's nice to see you too Lucille" Alex was the next one to answer getting closer to the young girl so she could see her....
