all of the science in this is completely made up bullshit for the sake of the story

 Kara threw herself back into the bed; totally exhausted. Lena let out a puff of air and a squeak at the unexpected impact before Kara wrapped around her.

"You made me lose my place, Supergirl." Lena said in a tone of mild exasperation.

"I'm sure that I'll be able to make it up to you somehow." Kara teased, her tone dropping an octave as she raised up onto one forearm and relieved Lena of both the glasses and book.

"The kids?" Lena asked, her breath coming more quickly.

"In bed." Kara replied.

"The city?"

"Safe for the moment." the heroine replies with utmost confidence.

"Alright then, feel free to make it up to me Mrs.Danvers." Lena grins in a way that is reserved for her wife and her wife alone.

Lena fell asleep enveloped by strong arms, completely content and totally satisfied.

-----/////-----

Lena woke up alone, her mouth dry, and mind fuzzy. She was wrapped up in expensive sheets, the kind that she had slept on back in the mansion when she and Kara had been dating.

"Kara?! Jeremiah! Alexandra!" Lena called for her family as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes.

The confusion sunk in further when the pads of her bare feet met cold and unyielding stone.

Lena really was back in the Luthor mansion, confusion washing over her like a bucket of cold water. Lex was in prison or Lena would have expected him to be behind this. She groped for her cell-phone only to find that Kara's name was no longer in the contacts, and upon further perusal, Alex's and everyone else from the DEO was missing as well.

Lena dialed the number from memory only to find the line disconnected. She left a message on Alex's voicemail to meet her at Noonan's in an hour when the eldest Danvers sister didn't answer her phone call. The CEO slid back into her role as a stone cold Luthor in a second.

"I don't want a detail today, cancel all of my plans and get me in touch with Robert Pontius. Get a background run for me on on e Kara Danvers and a car to Noonan's in an hour. I do not wish to be bothered today. Anyone who disturbs me will be demoted to janitor." Lena swept through the building as though she owned it, which according to the documents on her desk... as of a month ago she did.

Detailed profiles in Lena's handwriting and bearing her signature on projects that she had never seen before littered her work space. She fell back into the chair and shuffled through them all, understanding that whatever version of herself had been here before was very different from the Lena that had been married to Kara Danvers. The Lena who would allow these projects was more Luthor than Lena. She felt a shudder of horror run down her spine. Lena placed the papers into a folder and settled them into the topmost drawer. She ripped a plain blank piece of paper from a notebook and scrawled a letter out before leaving it on top of the desk as the only page on it. If nothing else she hoped that it would make a difference when she figured her way out of this mess.

A Google search of Supergirl turned up nothing, so maybe in this universe, Kara hadn't accepted her birthright of heroism yet. Superman was alive and kicking Lex's ass as usual, Lena discovered with pride. However, her usual routes of contact with him probably hated her guts. Even Alex probably wouldn't be too thrilled to talk to or see her.

These thoughts left a heavy ache in her chest. Lena missed her wife and children. She felt naked without a wedding ring on her finger and the expensive clothes made her itch. All of this only made her feel more determined. Lena knew for sure now that she couldn't live this life anymore. For the first time she was confident that she had totally and completely changed and there was no going back to the life of a Luthor heir.
