A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 231 - Ultrasound

Kara and Lena have now been re-joined by Lillian, Sam and Alex, in the medical bay, after having had a brief talk with one another about the surprising news. This still really hasn't all sunk in for Lena, and she thinks it will take her a while for it to. It's not like this is a normal occurrence after all, or that there is a text book for how to handle this. Lena is, or was, a human, and will become a Kryptonian, at least if Alex and Lillian are right in their assumptions. But seeing as her DNA has changed, Lena is pretty sure that they are. However, the one thing that is stopping Lena from completely freaking out, is it's not like Kryptonians are that different to humans or anything. Lena knows, from first hand intimate experience, that Kara's body is just like any other regular human body. The only major physical difference is Kara's abs. Admittedly, maybe Lena likes the idea of her developing abs like Kara's, without having to do any of the extreme work in a gym that humans do. Lena can literally imagine herself just touching her own abs during the day to get herself going. Although, that would obviously come after the baby is born, along with the possibility of other powers too. Of course, they already know that Lena clearly has some form of flight, so she wonders what other powers she may develop. A part of Lena does hope that she gains certain powers, as if she is going to become a Kryptonian, she might as well have powers, but another part of Lena hopes flying is it, because that would just cut out the difficulty of having to learn how to control them. Learn how to control them while pregnant, no less.

"How are you feeling Lena?" Alex asks, once she, Sam, and Lillian walk back into the room.

"Okay." Lena nods, "Still a bit overwhelmed. I think this news is going to take a while to truly processes."

"Yeah. I imagine it would do for anyone." Sam replies.

"Well, over these next few weeks, and months, as your body, and DNA, continues to change, I'm going to continue to monitor you and everything, just so we have a clear picture of what is happening, and know that you are okay." Alex says.

"That means you are going to have to continue to poke and prod me, doesn't it?" Lena asks, with a bit of a groan.

"I'm afraid so." Alex replies, with a chuckle in her voice.

"Alright." Lena says, with a bit of a dramatic sigh.

"What are we going to do about Lena's powers?" Kara asks, "It's not like I can hold her down all the time. And you said that she can't wear the bracelet anymore."

Lillian and Alex now briefly look at each other, before looking back at Kara and Lena.

"I think, it might be for the best, if you help Lena, and teach her how to control her powers." Lillian says.

"I agree." Alex nods.

"But.... I don't know how to do that." Kara says.

"Of course you do." Alex replies, "You have had to learn how to control your own powers since coming here to Earth. So, you should be able to do that for someone else."

"Hmmm.... I guess I can try." Kara hums.

"Well, I hope you will." Lena says, "As I really don't want to be stuck like this, especially if I'm actually going to have these powers after the birth, and for the rest of my life."

"Yeah. Okay." Kara nods.

"Why don't you give it a go now?" Alex suggests, "Try and think of something to help Lena control her floating? As it might be best for Lena to get a handle on the flying now, in case any other powers pop up, which she then also needs to learn how to control."

"Okay." Kara nods, "Just.... give me a second to think about this."

"Take all the time you need, darling." Lena says.
