Alternate reality where Kara chose to become scientist instead of a reporter. Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor never thought that they see each other as anything more than rivals. But a chance encounter at their college reunion changed everything in mor...
It had been about a week since Lena's rescue and while she'd been released from the hospital, since her ribs were still healing, she was under doctor's orders to take it easy and keep resting while staying on her painkillers and since she could still feel the pain in her ribs, she was in no hurry to disobey doctors orders, since at least now she was back in her own apartment and wasn't confined to bed like she'd been at the hospital. And it didn't hurt that Kara came by to check on her daily after work. The only reason she didn't stay the night is because not only was Lena still recovering, but they hadn't even gone on a first date yet and they didn't want to take things too fast, though now they were having to ignore the smug looks on Alex and Felicity's faces whenever they came by to visit her, though Lena always turned it back around on them, saying they were in the same boat of having waited so long to finally get together.
But more importantly, ever since Kara had rescued her from Lex, Lena had felt different. Like something inside her had changed. Even though she'd had every test known to both man and alien run on her while she was in the hospital and they all confirmed that she was the same. If there was something wrong with her, current science couldn't find it and that concerned her, since she wouldn't put past Lex to have secretly infected her with something that couldn't be detected. But the thing was, whatever it was, it didn't exactly feel like it meant to harm her. But she still didn't understand it.
Then she heard a knock on her door, which was a surprise, since wasn't expecting anyone, especially since Kara, Alex and J'onn seemed to prefer landing on her balcony and Felicity always texted to let her know she was coming by.
So, with some difficulty in getting out of the bed without aggravating her ribs, Lena made her way to the door, since despite the dangers, the same feeling she'd been having all week, was telling her to answer it, since she knew that Kara would be here in seconds if she felt Lena was in danger. Somehow, she always seemed to know when she needed help.
However, she was surprised to find a young woman, who looked like she was about 19 years old and wearing a purple tank top and white pants with raven black hair and piercing blue eyes on the other end of the door.
"Sorry, can I help you with something?" Lena asked, since while there was something familiar to her about this girl, she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Hello Lena. My name is Zatanna. Zatanna Zatara. You probably won't believe me when I say this, but I'm your sister." Zatanna said, shocking Lena.
"What? I don't have any sisters?" Lena asked, thinking this was some kind of scam.
"Not from the Luthor family. I'm talking about your biological family." Zatanna said, since Lena was an adopted Luthor.
"I think you have the wrong person." Lena said as she shut the door, only to turn around to find Zatanna standing in her apartment.
"How?" Lena asked.
"It's complicated." Zatanna said.
"You really expect me to believe that after years of not hearing anything about my biological family, now, suddenly a girl turns up claiming to be my sister?" Lena asked, thinking that this girl, whoever she was, was trying to work some kind of angle for money.
"I thought you'd be skeptical, which is why I brought this." Zatanna said as she held out a folder.
"What is this?" Lena asked.
"I may have broken into National City General to get a sample of your DNA to test it against mine." Zatanna said sheepishly.
"Great, another criminal." Lena said, though this was relatively harmless and the girl seemed to only want to prove herself to her as she took the folder and saw that the results confirmed that they were biologically full siblings.
"You know these tests can be falsified right?" Lena asked her.
"I get that you're skeptical of all this." Zatanna said, wondering how she was going to convince Lena that she was telling the truth.
"Well, this is all a lot to process." Lena said.
"Do you by any chance have a photo of your birth parents?" Zatanna asked, since remembered something her father had told her about her big sister when she'd been put up for adoption.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Lena asked.
"My dad told me that when he and my mom put my older sister up for adoption, they left her with a picture of them. Do you still have it?" Zatanna asked, and now Lena was at least starting to open up her mind to the idea that this girl was telling the truth.
"Yeah. One second." Lena said as she retreated to her room and returned a few minutes later before she returned with an old photo in her hand and Zatanna smiled as she saw that the people in the photo were exactly who she thought they were.
"This is all I have of my birth parents." Lena said.
"And now look at this." Zatanna said as she pulled a picture from her pocket and showed Lena another picture of the same people, only this one had a younger her in it.
"These are my parents. Giovanni and Sindella Zatara." Zatanna said and she could tell that Lena was starting to believe.
"The exact names written on the back of this photo." Lena said as she flipped the photo of her parents over to reveal names written on it.
"And that's my parents' handwriting." Zatanna confirmed.
"You really are my sister." Lena said, trying to wrap her head around this.
"Yes, I am. And we have a lot to talk about." Zatanna said.
"Yeah, I guess we do. And this is going to take awhile." Lena said.
"You have no idea. And I'd rather only explain this once, so if you want to call your girlfriend Kara Danvers here to hear this too and so that I can meet the special lady in your life, I'd appreciate it." Zatanna said.
"I'm not even going to ask how you know about that, but I do want her here, since I have a feeling that I'm gonna need her support during this conversation." Lena said as she shot off a text to Kara to come to her apartment, but to use the front door, since she had company that she'd explain when she arrived.
Hope you guys liked that twist, since I wanted a different way to give Lena magic in this series. And since I know you're all wondering, the actress who plays Zatanna Zatara is none other than Selena Gomez, an actress who's already known for playing roles as a teenage mystic.
