SuperCorp - Arranged Marriage

Chapter 17

Lena's pov:

What happened downstairs was insane. Kara is Kryptonian! I don't know what really happened, one minute I'm waiting for her to get towels for the beach and the next my poor wife is being told her life's a lie.

Near the end of Alex's explanation Kara seemed to space out, it's like she was there but not really there. She was just staring at the wall in front of her with a mix of emotions on her face. After a few minutes tears started falling down her cheeks and then she screamed and burned half the wall down with her eyes almost taking Maggie's head off in the process.

It literally scared the shit out of me. What's worse is when she finally came to she didn't even know what she had done. If I didn't know how much pain Kara was in I'd say it pained me to see her like that, and whilst it does she needs me to be strong right now.

As Maggie suggested I lead a confused Kara upstairs and ran her a warm bath.

"Kara love, are you going to be okay for a few minutes on your own?"

"Where are you going? You'll come back won't you? Please come back" She pleads, almost sobbing again.

"Kara I will always come back, I promise. Can you get in the tub? I'm just going to get you a towel" I say as softly as I can manage.

I hate to think how she is feeling right now. In fact I kind of understand but my pain nowhere near compares to hers-

"Hurry back?"

"Of course, love" I reply. I place a gently kiss on her forehead and then jog down the stairs and into the kitchen to where Maggie and Alex are staring at the wall.

"She's in the tub but she needs a towel..."

"Oh, if there aren't any under the sink in your room then they're in the cupboard next to the office... How is she?" Alex asks looking almost as defeated as Kara.

"Heartbroken, betrayed, lost, confused, insecure- take your pick. How could you lie to her about that Alex? Your sister is in pieces!" I snap.

"It wasn't my fault-" I cut her off.

"Wasn't your fault? You may not be the sole person to be blamed here but you are definitely at fault. You knew about Kara's past and you didn't tell her. She had a right to know, the fact that you just let it go on for so many years has just made this a lot harder for her. You should have told her when you first found out."

"But Clark-"

"Fuck Clark! From what I've heard he's a moron. Always wanting everything to be his way because it makes things easier for him. He doesn't care about the consequences for anyone else as long as his conscience is clean. You have no idea how many times I heard my brother take the blame for that poor excuse of a man. Sure he flies around and saves the world but that is just a job to him, he likes the attention.

From what Kara said he just dropped her off at your house and then she didn't see him again for 2 years. His confused cousin that had just landed on an alien planet. His only blood relative still alive and he just dropped her off. Why would you listen to a man that didn't seem to give a toss what happened to her?" I yell.

Alex who is now in tears again walks out the back door. Maggie turns to me with sympathy and a little bit of anger.

"I'm glad you're sticking up for Kara and I'm not saying Alex didn't deserve to be yelled at but at least try to see it from her point of view as well. Clark had already lied to Kara and it took months for her to learn English, how do you tell a 13 year old girl who can't remember losing her planet that she has in fact lost her planet and her people when she can barely understand you?
