Are You Still There?

8. Lena

Summary:  Lena finds herself kidnapped by her brother and has a proposition for her.

Notes: I might stray from the Kara, Lena chapter perspectives a little bit because I have more planned for Lena than Kara at the moment. Sorry to those who prefer Kara's chapters. :)

Lena started to stir, a massive headache raging in her head. She blinked a few times, letting her eyes adjust to the dim lighting around her. She glanced around her surroundings. Where was she? That's when she started to feel a burning sensation around her wrists. She was tied up. She tried to struggle against the bindings but they wouldn't budge. Her breathing quickened, as she tried to remember what had happened. She was at Sam and Ruby's...? No, she had left. She had been on her way back home! How had she ended up here? She tried to loosen up the ropes again.

Suddenly, she could hear footsteps behind her, interrupting her thoughts,

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, sis. Those ropes are made of fine strands of steel, you won't get out." Lena swivelled her head around to see who was behind her. "Nice metaphor though, right? Imagine my surprise, when I found out that my sister had married Kara Danvers, The Girl of Steel."

"Lex." Lena seethed.

"What? Not happy to see me?" he grinned deviously back at her. "You know, you should really work on your manners. That Kryptonian is rubbing off on you."

Lena rolled her eyes,

"What the hell do you want with me this time? Need my help to recreate the red sun 2.0?" she laughed sarcastically.

"You really think that poorly of me? No, that was so 2015." he said with a hint of sarcasm in his own voice. "I'm not going to make such an amateur mistake again. No, no. This time, I will make sure that everything goes according to plan and we will rid our world of those aliens."

Lex poured himself some scotch from a bottle on a nearby table. That's when it dawned on her: they were in her office at L-Corp! Her head pivoted back and forth, she was tied to her office chair, in the middle of her office. The table next to Lex was her desk with some old papers strewn across it. The lights were off, the bright lights of the skyscrapers in the distance dimly lit up the room. It was quiet. They were alone.

Just then, Lex picked up a photo frame that was sat on her desk and took a look at it,

"You know, it's a pity really. I actually quite liked Miss Danvers. She had character-"

"You don't get to talk about her! You stay away from her!" Lena interrupted him. At this point she was beyond angry and didn't care about keeping up a mask anymore. She didn't care whether her brother thought she was weak or not.

"My, my! Aren't we the drama queen! I thought I had taught you better." He shook his head, "Tell me, how long have you known that she is Supergirl?" he asked her.

Lena paused, her mind racing back to their fight. Lex noticed the change in her expression.

"Oh, Lena..." he smirked, "Foolish little Lena. Of course you didn't know. When did you find out? Actually, I really don't care. What I do care about, however, is how you're going to help me destroy her. And then her cousin."

"What makes you think I would ever help you ?!" she practically spat at him.

"Oh, nothing really... Except for the fact that I have my men armed and positioned outside of every one of your friends' houses. And this button-," he pulled a small remote with a red switch from his pocket, "-will send them a signal to kill them all."
