You are my Kryptonite

Chapter 17

     Lena crinkled her nose as she smelled the strong odor of oil, while she swayed through the old, musty warehouse. It was pitch black outside, nearly midnight and nobody would suspect her to make an appearance here at this time. She had waited long enough and needed to get this done, before time ran out.  
   
     Across the room, there was a dark figure lazily, sitting on top of a large, sleek crate with some sort of briefcase in hand. Lena's heels clicked loudly against the ground, as she confidently strode over to the figure and crossed her arms, annoyed.

     The figure turned to face Lena and scoffed. "You early. And what the hell are ya wearing? You look like your goin' to a board meeting at twelve in the fucking morning."

      Lena raised an eyebrow. "You're just early and you look like a homeless slob." She then began examining her nails to add to the petty effect. "Another one of my mother's goons, picked up off the street I suppose."

     The man shot up from where he was sitting, and was inches away from Lena's face, jaw clenched, angrily. "You don't know nothin' bout me, lady! Just hand over the money ya owe to Mrs. Luthor and you can leave this warehouse without a scratch."

     Lena chuckled and stepped back from the man and pulled out a peculiar hexagon looking object from her pocket. "Ok, listen here, and you better listen real closely. My mother may not love me but she sure as hell doesn't want me dead, or her 'perfect' plan is ruined. Now it's not like she cares about you, you're easily replaceable. You see this?"

      She gestured to the object in her hand and the man nodded slowly, breathing heavily.

"This little trinket can easily destroy this entire warehouse in a matter or seconds. And no one would know about it. My technology is made specifically by me and this would not harm me in the slightest. If you even think about laying a hand on me for another second, you've got a lot coming to you. Now let's talk like adults. I give you the money, you give me the crate and briefcase without a problem. Got it?"

      He quickly handed over the case and backed away from Lena, clearly a bit shocked form the exchange. She pocketed the object and smirked as the man darted into the shadows. If only he knew it was only a 3D printed hexagon painted to look like some sort of technical bomb. She placed the briefcase beside her and opened the sleek crate in front of her, a smile tugging at her lips. The light glow from the box, lit up the room and Lena hastily closed it, excitement in her eyes. Her plan was almost complete and it was only a matter of time now...

THE NEXT MORNING...
The day was quiet and uneventful for both Kara and Supergirl and all she felt like doing was isolating herself in her apartment. Everyone had put together a surprise party after finding out her memory was back, but it still didn't help the fact that Lena was furious with her.
Alex had come by in the morning to check on Kara, to see her staring blankly at the television, curled up on the couch. When she tried to talk to Kara she stayed silent and tears trailed down her face, emotionlessly. So all Alex could do was leave the apartment. This seemed much worse then with what happened with Mon-El. First the grief and then the vicious lashing out. Things couldn't get any worse..

SAM'S POV

"Babe, I'm worried. She has not said a single word all day and is refusing to move. She's never been like this. Not even with
Mon-El."

      Alex paced the floor, panicking. She had been telling me about Kara's situations with Lena. I had been listening closely, on the couch while looking over some paperwork.

"With Mon-El, she cut herself off from the world, for six months. She was cold and distant and lashed out when she was Supergirl. I'm worried this will happen, all over again, but ten times as worse...

      Alex put her hands behind her head, eyes glistening and bit her bottom lip. "Sam..she almost killed someone.."

      My head shot up and I spun around to face Alex, expression immediately darkening. I stood up in front of her, gently placing my hands on her cheeks and wiping the tears that had begun to flow. I frowned, looking into Alex's sad, and desperate eyes, then pulled her into a tight embrace. Her head laid on my shoulder and I let her cry, just letting all the emotions out.

       Alex was hurting because her sister was in pain and isolating herself from everyone. I wish I could help, but recently, no body has really seen much of Lena outside of her office. I've been swamped with paperwork and haven't had the opportunity to talk with Lena, but I could definitely tell, she was doing something quite similar to Kara. I've known Lena since boarding school and I know what happens when she gets hurt by someone she loves. She shuts everyone out, and puts on a cold mask, pretending everything's okay when in reality, it's not. She doesn't talk to anybody and stays locked up in her office for long hours, trying to forget her problems. I needed to talk to her and figure out what was going on.

       Alex finally calmed down and pulled away, looking up at me with red eyes. I smiled slightly and kissed her tenderly, then rested my head on hers. "Kara will be ok. I know I haven't known her for very long, but I know she's an amazing, hopeful person and has people to help her if it ever gets that bad."

     Alex sighed and fidgeted with her hands, while shifting her weight in her feet. "Do you think maybe you could talk to lena and see what exactly happened between them. I know you're both close and all...but I don't think Kara's gonna tell me.."

      We both smirked and I chuckled a bit. "Well I'll see what I can do. Paperwork has been taking up all my time lately and I haven't be able to hang out with you or Ruby."
Alex grinned, then yawned loudly, stretching her arms out tiredly. "I think I'm going to head back to my apartment..get some rest. It's been a long day. I'll stop by L-Corp tomorrow for lunch after I stop by Kara's, alright?"

    "Yeah that sounds perfect." I moved towards Alex, planting a firm kiss on her lips and pulled away, feeling giddy. Alex turned to leave for the door until a random thought hit me. "Alex, how long has Lena known Kara for?"
   
      She shrugged, and gave me a puzzled look. "If I had to take a guess, about three, four years. Why?"
    
     I stayed silent for a moment, as gears were churning in my head. Finally I cracked a small, and fake smile and watched as Alex skeptically left the house.
     
     I shuffled to the kitchen, searching for that old bottle of wine hidden somewhere. I poured my self a large glass, and downed it in seconds. The alcohol hit me almost immediately and I felt disoriented and dizzy. 
    
      Thousands of scenarios played out in my head as I thought of how Lena would react to this news. Lena's reaction definitely wasn't a pleasant one, but what did she have hidden up her sleeve this time..? My head became woozy as an idea came across me. (It might've just been the alcohol talking but we'll never know).
     
       Lena Luthor is a mysterious woman and you can never predict what her motive for anything is. Her boldness and determination helped her get to the top and she can easily interfere with anyone's business. She seems to be one step ahead, almost every time and opponents moves were obvious to her. knowing exactly what they'd do next. She was what people liked to call, "a dangerous player", and they had reason to. It was no lie, the Luthor was a phenomenal chess player, knowing her opponents weaknesses and flaws and she never lost a game in her life. It seemed like Lena was playing a game of chess, and everyone in her game, was just a pawn. She has this entire thing planned out, start to finish and her queen piece is Supergirl. When Lena Luthor plays a game of chess, she never loses, and this plan was just another one of her games.
