Within the weeks to come Lena was talking to her former boyfriend of 5 years, she never spoke of him ever since she is a very private person. She and her boyfriend were currently fighting over a text Lena sent to her guy best friend which made her boyfriend think she was hooking up with him. She didn't ever see this side of Grant before. She argued with him for a while and then out of the blue she felt a hard slap across her left cheek the sting pain left a hand mark which will be gone by the time she came back to her shared apartment with Bruce. She looked at her boyfriend her eyes growing dark and hateful.
"You never in the five years we have been together hit me or ever fought with me, why are you like this Grant just because it looks like I am flirting I call everyone love and baby, it's how I show my affection over texts than in person and you are the only one I want but I don't know what we are now so please excuse me, I have to go out now for some air to clear my head you should too."
She held her bruised cheek and left Grants unshared apartment.
Grant stood there panting softly wanting to pull Lena into him and kiss her to know he still is madly in love with her but held back the urge too, he watched her leave his apartment with a sad expression of distrustfulness. He walked over to his mini bar and grabbed a bottle of whiskey and popped the cork off and drank it from the bottle not caring if he was such a lightweight. Lena on the other hand walked to a bar and got inside she took off her mask, she wanted to be protected either way from harm ever. She asked for some bourbon with no ice while she took her glass and drank her drink straight up. Her goddess self so strong not even bourbon can do the trick but she's human and she barely told anyone she was not from here. But the scars on her back along with her tattoos no one can ever see only if you are from Atlas, but she can make it visible when she wants too ever. She was lost in her own mind again while someone bumped into her knocking her drink all over the table. She looked at the guy who bumped her elbow and shakes her head cleaned up her mess and sat one seat down from the guy to not cause a scene. The guy tapped Lena exposed shoulder, she looked at the guy and smiled softly, her eyes showing so much sadness.
"Hey miss I am so sorry, I bumped into my friend here pushed me into you is there anything I can do to make it up, I can buy your drink for you?" He asked nicely clearly not drunk yet
"Sir it's totally fine I have a tab here really I go here after me and maybe ex boyfriend now tend to fight." She spoke softly taking a sip of her drink
"I am so sorry what were you fighting about if I can ask?" He was curious and just wanted to talk to her in general
"He got jealous when he went through my phone and found out that I was sort of flirting with my guy best friend." She chuckles nervously
"Did I make you uncomfortable, if so I truely apologize." He was so polite and nice to her
"No, you are fine I just don't see myself with anyone but Grant really and yeah I have a guy roommate who is never home ever." She blabbered now
He touched her shoulder again which made her look at him in the eye.
"I completely understand, do you want company or to be left alone, a girl like you shouldn't be alone."
He gave Lena a smile finally making her empathic ability known now
"That is up to you really if you don't want to leave me alone."
She felt the effects of her drink now making her eye sight blurry but she was still herself at least, he put his hand down to grab his drink taking a long sip.
"I totally forgot I'm Frank."
He held out his hand to her in a hand shake, she looked at his hand and blinked softly scared to take it in fear she might feel more from him.
"I'm Lena and please place it down I'm not into shaking hands sorry, germaphobe."
She lightly touched his arm still feeling what he was feeling right now.
"I'm sorry." He placed his hand down with a blush at her soft touch
Lena talked to Frank for hours till he left with his friends with a smile since she shared her number with him to hang out more maybe. Lena left after an hour of Frank leaving giving the bartender a huge tip she grabbed her mask from her pocket and walked out of the bar wabbling towards her shared apartment with Bruce. She sighed softly and walked in and looked around she placed her bag down and took off her shoes and got greeted by Bruce being worried than normal. Lena took off her mask and ran over the kitchen sink throwing up her dinner. Bruce running after her rubbing her back softly while he held her hair back.
"Don't look at me." She coughed softly
Bruce gave her a rag while she took it in her hand and whipped her mouth.
"I'm sorry about your sink." She mumbled looking at him fully looking at him now
"You are drunk, come on let's get you cleaned up."
He held her and walked her into his room, he placed her on his messy silk bed. Her hands touching the fabric in her hands, she fell back on the bed sleep taking over her but she got woken up by Bruce making her sit up while he took off her shirt and her bra not caring at all. She hid her body from him now while he unbuttoned her pants making her take it off while he brought her to his master bathroom carrying her bridal style into the tub where water was already in, it was lukewarm but not to hot for her to handle.
"What are you doing to me?"
Her speak was slurred now her mind in a haze of trance from the guy before her
"I'm helping you sober up, princess."
He spoke noticing her back making him frown, Lena noticed his expression she got comfortable not caring about who looked at her but was still scared least to say.
"Who did this to you love?"
He touched her scared back lightly while he gave her head a soft kiss.
"If this was from Grant I'm gonna kill him."
He was angry with Grant more than Lena, she touched his arms looking at him fully
"It's not from Grant." Her heartbeat fluxed against her chest
"Who is it from Lena?!"
He was mad at who did this to her more or less felt bad for her since she can't wear a strapless dress ever.
"My dad did this to me." She grabbed his cheeks softly kissing his forehead to assure him she's okay with anything he does to her now
"Lena you never spoke of your dad before." He still was frowning while he stood up and stripped down and got into the tub with her not caring what might happen but he didn't want to leave her like this ever. He grabbed the sponge, wet it and touched her back making her whince softly still in fear from what he's doing.
"Tell me to stop and I will." He doesn't stop while Lena looked at him in the dim light room while she laid her back on his chest to wash her body. He rubbed the sponge over her chest and washed her body.
"What are you doing to me, why are you so nice now?" She asked him not caring about how naked they are what can go wrong right?
"I'm just helping you." He looked into her eyes feeling sorry while he leaned into her his lips centimeters away from hers
"I want to but you already have someone you are in love with." He sighed softly and pulled away
Lena turned around straddling him with a smirk and nodded her head slowly getting up looking at him still. She stepped out of the tub and dried off her body and walked out of the master bathroom and into the bedroom taking the right side of the bed naked still. Bruce got up dried his body and walked over to the bed and placed some boxers on and slipped into bed with her.
"Goodnight Lena."
His final words he spoke before she fell right into slumber.
