Supercorp: Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 118

Back in Midvale Eliza, Natalie and Ashley have all now finished their dinner, together, each enjoying it very much, and just happy to talk with each other as they ate. Needless to say, the trio are truly having a great time with each other, and Natalie and Ashley are actually not looking forward to going home to National City tomorrow, as they loving Eliza, and spending time with her, so very much. This, having a grandma, is something they have not had for years, and now it's coming at them hard and fast, and neither Natalie or Ashley can get enough of it. Then, the same can be said of Eliza. Eliza, for her part, did always think that she would end up with grandchildren, be it because of Alex, or Kara, but she certainly did not expect to have grandchildren this soon, with her daughters only in their mid 20s. Or, at the very least, Eliza did not expect to have grandchildren like this, who are not just very young kids, who you can only talk about limited things with, and only do limited things with. Eliza always thought that by the time her grandchildren would reach the age Natalie and Ashley are now, she would be a lot older than she is, and therefore unable to do certain things with them, due to her age. So really, Eliza is relishing getting the opportunity to spend all this time with Natalie and Ashley now, seeing as she is only in her late 50s, as it gives her the opportunity to do things with her granddaughters, which she may physically not be able to do in 10 years time, with next grandchildren, that Lena and Sam will give birth to, are near the same ages as Natalie and Ashley presently.

"Okay girls. If you could both help me clear everything up in the kitchen, with us working as a team to wash the plates and everything, we can then move on to having our ice cream that I got use for dessert." Eliza says, with a smile.

"I thought you said we were going to be making a cake for our dessert." Natalie says.

"Oh, no." Eliza replies, "I was saying that we will make a cake together this evening, but it won't be ready for us to eat tonight. I will give it to you to take home with you, and eat there. For tonight, we can just eat some ice cream. I think that will be good enough. Don't you both agree?"

"Yeah." Ashley nods, with a happy smile.

"Okay." Natalie agrees.

"Excellent." Eliza smiles, "Now, what flavour ice creams do you both want. I bought vanilla, chocolate and strawberry."

"Can I have some chocolate and vanilla please." Natalie says, politely.

"Of course you can. Ashley, what about you?" Eliza asks the 14-year-old.

"Can I please have some chocolate and strawberry, please?" Ashley asks.

"Of course." Eliza nods, "Now, why don't you two get settled on the couch and pick a movie for us to all watch together. We can start watching it while we eat this ice cream, and just pause it for a while as we make the dessert you will take home, then once we are done we can finish watching the film. That sound good?"

"Yep." Natalie nods.

"Yeah." Ashley smiles.

Natalie and Ashley now head into the living room, leaving Eliza alone in the kitchen to get the girls their ice cream. To do this, Eliza gets out 3 bowls, one for herself, one for Natalie and one for Ashley, and then puts four scoops of ice cream in each bowl. Natalie and Ashley are pretty lucky in this regard, as when Alex and Kara were growing up Eliza would always limit them to 3 scoops of ice cream each, as she thought it would be too much sugar otherwise. However, in this case maybe Eliza just wants to spoil her new granddaughters a little bit, and a fourth scoop of ice cream shouldn't hurt.

Back in Metropolis, Kara and Lena are now just pulling up to the front of Luthor manor, or more specifically, their driver is pulling up to the front of Luthor manor. For Kara's side of things, as she looks at this mansion in front of her, it really does look like one of those big mansions that seem to be rather intimidating, and loos like it is dark and dreary on the inside. Kara also gets the impression that this mansion is so big that large parts of it probably haven't been used in years, and likely just have a layer of dust over a bunch of it. Although, at the same time, from the little bit of information Lena has told Kara about Lillian, Kara also thinks that Lillian is the type of person who may still employ a full set of staff to manage and clean the property, even though it's barely used, with only one person living in it over the last 15 - 20 years. Frankly, the more Kara looks at Luthor manor, the more she thinks this really does not look like it was ever a happy home. Kara imagines it must have been such a lonely place, even when Lena, Lionel, Lillian and Lex were all living in it together. It makes Kara feel bad for Lena, and what she had to deal with when growing up.
