You are my Kryptonite

Chapter 11

LENA'S POV
   
      Pain. It's the one thing in this godforsaken world that knows me the best. All I have experienced in my life is pain. Of course, it started when I was younger. I watched my mother die before my eyes and didn't even scream for help. The Luthor's then took me in, but they hated me more than anything. Lillian treated me as if I was some kind of disease, infecting her home, while Lionel ignored me half the time. Lex was really the only one who was "kind" to me until he then betrayed me.

       Even now, I finally love someone that genuinely loved me back, but then I lose all of it in the blink of an eye. I seem to be just a plague in this world, and everywhere I go, depression and pain follow me. The thing that hurts the most is that it's not even Kara's fault. She has no idea what's happened and that's probably the part that kills me the most. Sometimes I wish I could just end it all.
   
       My thoughts were then interrupted by Jess, opening the door. "Miss. Luthor, someone is here to see you."
   
      I only nodded and motioned for whoever it was to come in the room. I was definitely a bit tipsy and tired from working for nearly seven hours straight, so tried to flatten my crinkled dress and fix my hair.

    "Hey, Lena." I was startled by the voice and the door closing. I assumed Alex would be staying with Kara at the DEO all today. I guess I was wrong.
   
     I closed my laptop and pushed a stack of folders to the side of my desk, folding my hands and cracking a slight grin. "Miss. Danvers. Please sit." I gestured towards the chair in front of me. She did as she was told then nervously fidgeted with her hands as I spoke. "How's Kara? And I'm fully aware I saw her only hours ago."

"Uh.. she's fine, but I was actually here to ask you a favor-not about Kara."

       I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "This is new. Alex Danvers asking me a favor."

"I...I-the DEO still has Reign in our desert faculty.. and I want to help Sam. I-I haven't known her for nearly as long as you have, but since Ruby-"

       I interrupted Alex worriedly now realizing that Ruby's mother has been absent. Who was Ruby staying with? I knew she sure as hell wasn't with her grandmother that's for sure. "Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where is she?!"
"S..She's been staying with one of her friend's houses since last week, which we both know she can't keep up forever. She needs her mother and...and I know you need your other best friend more than ever now. But what I'm asking is for your help to look for some sort of cure to separate Reign and Sam."
    
       I was quiet for a minute. Alex was right. I did need Sam right now and Ruby needed her mother. I shouldn't be having a pity party for myself, but instead, I should be trying to help my other friend.

       I look over to the picture of Kara, Sam and I sitting on a couch and smiled at the memory. I cleared my throat and looked back at Alex. "I want more than anything for things to go back to the way they were before. Sam comforting me when I was too scared to face my fears and Kara always coming for lunch dates and her cheerful attitude making an entire room light up. I know that things will never be the same, but at least I can try to help one of them, so that one day, maybe I can get both of them back."
    
       Alex nodded at what I said and grinned, as her eyes filled up with tears. "I...I'm glad you can help. It really means a lot. I was going to start researching and experimenting when I get back to the DEO, so if you want to join me you're more then welcome to."
   
      I shook my head almost as little too eagerly. "I'll tell Jess on my way out, just let me gather some of my things first." I stood up and gave Alex a reassuring hug, then she left the room. I packed a small bag filled with a few of my things, like my tablet and laptop. I wrote a little note and left it on my desk for Jess, then hurried out the door.

KARA'S POV

     "You should be alright to leave the medbay sometime tomorrow after some tests. As long as your sister is alright with it and explains a bit more." A man with dark brown hair named, Winn had just told me I could possibly leave tomorrow. This is fantastic news! I wonder what my house looks like and what my job is! Such exciting news!
     
      Winn turns to leave the room but I stop him. "Hey, uh Winn?"
  
      His head spins around almost instantly. "Yeah..?" Winn responded sounding a bit uneasy and nervous.

"What was the woman, Lena Luthor to me?"

     Winn opened and closed his mouth as if he was a fish trying to breathe, although no words came out. Before he finally answered he hesitated and frowned. "I-uh.. well, you guys were like best friends... well then ya'know you got amnesia. And now you don't remember her... or Alex, James, J'onn, Sam or me so that's..uh.. a thing.."

     As Winn stood, watching my facial expression changed, I looked up to him and gave him a confused glance. "What were you to me?"

      Winn quickly looked down at the ground and shrugged. "I-well.. uh, we were best friends at CatCo, our job... I also had a huge.. crush..on..you..for.. a..bit..." he trailed off and I noticed tears starting to form in his eyes. "And I was the first person you told.."

       As he wiped the tears from his cheeks, a puzzled expression was plastered on my face. "Told what?"
   
       Right after I said that all the color drained from Winn's face and his eyes widened almost in fear. Sweat formed on his forehead and I swore I could hear his heartbeat, smashing against his chest. "I..uh.. have to go... but umm... Alex will talk with you about it all tomorrow..."
   
        Winn turned around and quickly bolted from the room without another word, but before he left, I thought I heard him whisper, "Oh no, no, no, no...Alex is going to kill me now.."
   
       That was odd..? I have so many questions yet to be answered and what sucks the most is how I don't even know if I'll even get any answers.
  
      I laid my head back on my pillow, staring at the bland ceiling and somehow, in a few seconds, I was asleep.

*Hey! [Lots of words coming up so if you don't want to read all of my rambling, skip to last section] Ok so I am SO pumped for this story and I have so many ideas that I think you all will love. Trust me there will (unfortunately) be some angst, BUT I will have good spicy supercorp action, soon. I'm also planning on having some agentreign action as well, since after sanvers broke up, I was really, REALLY sad and wanted another ship with Alex (and I really thought that Sam was perfect for her). Don't get me wrong I ship dansen, but this fits with the time I have this story taking place.                   
     And did y'all like the new episode is supergirl? Am I the only one who thinks the AI Hope is corrupting Lena and making her kinda "evil"? I just don't believe that Lena is doing all of this just to get "revenge" on Kara. I get she'd be really heartbroken, but I feel like Lena also wouldn't do that to her best friend throwing away about 4 years of a friendship, especially after she ended up hearing Kara's apology (which Melissa and Katie did AMAZING on that scene).
      Anyways thanks for reading, thanks for about 430 reads (WOW!) and thanks for actually putting up with my crappy writing. I really enjoy writing and I also really appreciate all of these reads, like this is amazing! So please, please give me feedback as well as voting on every chapter! Hope you all enjoyed!*
