Lex

I wake up in Dianas arms. I can feel her running her hand through my hair. I think she is reading. I heard paper move. For once, I feel rested.

Diana: Youre awake.

I am a little startled. How did she know?

Diana: Your breathing changed.

What the hell? Can she...

Me: Can you read minds Diana?

Diana laughs

Diana: No. But I knew that is what you were thinking.

Me: What time is it?

Diana: Around 1. Your family is waiting on us.

Me: Ok. Well lets get up and go down there.

We freshen up and go downstairs. My siblings look stressed. Alex is pacing, while Kal and Kara are on the phone.

Me: What is going on?

Alex: Lex is out.

Me: Lex Luthor? Lenas crazy ass brother? That Lex?

Kara: Yes, that Lex. He is calling us out. He and Cadmus is holding National City hostage if we do turn ourselves over.

Me: Who is we?

Kal looks at me and Ive got my answer.

Kara: We have to turn ourselves in.

Alex: Absolutely not. You are not going to give your life.

Kal: Alex, this may be the only way.

Me: No. This is what is going to happen. I will go to Lex and deal with him. Knowing him, he has kryptonite. That could kill the both of you. Kal, call the league. Kara, get the DEO ready. Lena made you two kryptonite suits, right?

Kara: Yes.

Me: Ok, get them. You two can meet me there once you will be safe.

Alex: The plan is good. Thoes soldier skills are showing.

Me: Now I can use them for the right team.

I borrow one of Kals old suits that is too small for him.

Diana: I need you to be safe.

Me: When am I not?

I give her a smile. She is also suited up. We dont know what all Lex has under his sleeve, so she is going to help. She pulls me by my neck and connects our lips. After a couple of minutes, she rests her forehead against mine, not letting my neck go.

Me: We have to go.

Diana: I know. Be safe please.

Me: I will.

I go over to my sisters and rest my head on each of theirs.

Alex: Be safe. Be smart. He is dangerous.

Me: I know. But I have you guys to back me up. I am just buying time.

Alex: I love you.

Me: I love you, Alex. Kara must have taught you how to speak kryptonian.

Alex: I dont know what you said after I love you. Kara only taught me that phrase.

Me: Gotcha. *We laugh*

Kara: Come back to me. *I hear her voice crack*

Me: I promise I will. I love you, Kara.

Kara: I love you.

Kal: We only will need 5 or 10 minutes. Dont do anything stupid.

Me: Ive got you brother. *I get close to him* If push comes to shove, get the team out. I will stay. We dont need everyone getting hurt.
