"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live with in."
In my previous article titled 'My Sister Alex Danvers', I mentioned a woman named Lena Luthor. Now many of you will have heard that name countless times before, she if often the topic of my articles, but never like this. Ordinarily, my articles about Lena will be something about how she saved the world, or the new tech L-Corp is working on, but this one, this is about how she saved me, and loved me in a way I never thought I'd find.
Lena Luthor, where to start, I could tell you how incredible she is, how she is the best of us. That she alone has saved the world more times than even I have. That she is kind, compassionate and always puts others before herself, but I'm going to start with the day she saved my life, the first time. My boyfriend Mon-El, or Mike as you might know him, was a daximite, he was forced to leave Earth because of the lead that was released into the atmosphere. I was the one to press the button, I released the lead, I sent him away, and I believed he a died on the journey. I had lost my home planet, then I found him, he reminded me of home, and I truly believed I loved him, but I killed him. That kind of thing weighs heavy on the soul. I was ready to give up, give up being Supergirl, give up being Kara, give up being. That was until that afternoon in Lena's office. I had said something, that was in no way intended to be funny, but she laughed anyway. The whole time I had been there, she had laughed and smiled and seemed so genuinely happy. I felt then I had a reason to continue. You see at the time Alex was recently engaged so it felt as though she did not need me, it felt like no one needed me. But Lena did, if only to make her laugh, or smile, if I was only someone to vent to, or tell about up coming projects. I had a purpose, I had a reason to stay.
Lena Luthor has never been one to laugh, most people have never even seen her genuinely smile. At the time I convinced myself that she needed me, but in truth I needed her, she allowed me some normality. I didn't have to be anyone with her, she didn't know all the things I had done, all the things I had seen and been through. I was normal, I could forget about Krypton, I could forget about Mon-El. I would stay, for her, I vowed that day that I'd do everything in my powder to make her happy. That I'd never hurt her, or make her sad. That as long as I lived Lena Luthor would be happy, laughing and smiling, she would know she was loved. This of course like most things did not go to plan. "But Kara, what happened?" I hear you ask. Well long story short Lex happened.
You see in all this time I had never told Lena the truth about my identity, she didn't know to aptly named 'Super' secret. I had kept in from her for her own safety, at least at first. After that it was for selfish reasons, because I didn't want her to look at me and see what I was, I didn't want her to only see Supergirl, I wanted her to keep seeing Kara....#
