Lena Finds Out (One shot)

Pulling Strings

Kara sat with her knees curled up to her chest and arms wrapped around them like she was holding on for dear life. Because in a way it felt like she was, but holding on to her human life. She sat on the window sill staring out longingly at the starry night sky, with each star twinkling bright.  

Alex was Kara's yellow sun. Being around her made her stronger and Alex always comforted her when it seemed like her whole entire world was turned upside down and had been cracked in half. With her she could feel the world on her shoulders lighten. 

Mon-El was her kryptonite. When Kara was around Mon-El she could be vulnerable and let her guard down. She could let her feelings loose and had no worries of having to bottle them up and jamming them down.

But Lena was her red sun. With Lena Kara could be Kara Danvers and not have the weight of Supergirl follow her around. She could be human and have human problems. Lena wouldn't look at her differently and just see her as a friend, not some superhero. Lena was the last place Kara could actually feel human which she was raised to be. Human.

But all of that was suddenly torn down.

 Alex knocked on the door and Kara looked over and could see straight through it seeing Alex with her hands in her pockets and swayed back and forth waiting for an answer. 

"Kara, you there?" Alex asked before slowly turning the knob, peeping through the door. Kara leaned her head back again and stared back out the window. "Kara, what's wrong?" Alex asked catching her eye at Kara. 

"Lena knows, and now she hates me for it." Kara responded and hung her head down.  Guess she did notice over all of the commotion. 

"Oh... I don't know what to say." Alex said and kneeled down to her side. 

"You don't need to say anything. Anything you could say I have already thought. Maybe I can fix it, maybe I can make it up to her, maybe she will forgive me. But it's no use, none of them will ever work." 

There was a long moment of silence and tension hung in the air like dense fog. 

"What about J'onn? He helped you in this situation when it came to Cat Grant." Alex said trying to find some solution. 

"Yeah, but she knows I am her. I basically told her it was true, but with Ms. Grant I kept insisting that it wasn't true, but Lena is different then my old boss. She is my friend. Best friend actually, or at least used to be." Kara replied softly. 

"Then go over there and try to explain. I'm sure she will understand, besides what is there to lose?"

"Everything. She told me never to come back again. I just have to give her some space and time, which I hate by the way." Kara said back finally take her fixated stare on the sky back to Alex.

"Maybe your right."

 In an unknown location.....

Lena felt herself waking up, but didn't want to open her eyes. Just to make her abductors, whoever they were, think that she was still knocked out. The cold rock hard floor made her back hurt and shoulders ache, but there was a vague sense of familiarity to it. She was here before or at least it had a similar format.

She shot her eyes open and saw the grey ceiling stretch out what felt like fifty feet above her. The whole entire room seemed like the size of a vacant auditorium. Lena felt tiny in such a large space.

 "Oh, your awake." came a grim voice that made Lena jump up and her eyes made contact with his. Hank Henshaw. 

"You, again. Let me guess, my mother is lurking in the shadows." Lena spat, know he couldn't do crap to her. 

"Actually she is right there." he motioned his hand behind her. Lena made herself to her feet and spun around sharply. 

"What do you want, mom?" Lena glared at her. 

"Well that is not how you greet your mother." Lillian said with a cold snicker. 

"I repeat, What. Do. You. Want?" Lena was feeling a small flame of rage spark. 

"Oh, just simply for you to join us. You finally found out that your best friend was an alien menace, so don't tell me that you don't want revenge." Lillian smiled. 

"I may hate her, but I will never, ever, want to hurt her. You may be a crazy psychopath and Lex may be too, but I will rest assure that I'm not." Lena said, unflinching. 

"Ouch. Suit yourself."

BANG!!

Lena fell completely limp and knocked out cold, making a loud thud echo.

It was the next day and Kara had decided to see Lena after a long, long night of just thinking. Should I see her? Should I just listen and stay away and never come back? That was something that had fogged her thoughts. 

"Lena, I kno-" Kara stopped short in the doorway. She wasn't there. But Lena is always there, as if she just lived in her office. That is not what caught her eye though. The shattered glass on the floor with some scotch staining the smashed cup. 

Kara snatched her phone form her pocket and dialed Alex. 

"Kara! I was about to call you it's Ca-" Alex said quickly, but Kara interrupted, "I think Lena is in trouble."

"Get over here." Alex said and the hung up at the same time. Kara rushed out of the office and outside to secretly fly away full speed to the DEO. 

"We just got an alert on Cadmus and I don't think that Cadmus makes another hit just as Lena goes missing." Alex told Supergirl as the walked down. 

"Yeah, they probably have her. Do we have a location on Cadmus?" Kara said looking up at Winn. 

"Yes, a warehouse way south outside of the city. Can't miss it." Winn said poking at some buttons. 

Supergirl was about to fly off the porch again before Alex stopped her saying, "Kara, what if it's a trap?"

"They are always traps." Kara said and flew off the balcony as a red and blue blur.

This isn't going to end well, Alex thought.
