Lena POV

The night looks young and beautiful. The people were starting to move more towards the courtyard. The super-friends didn't mind the limited space but still had some room to move around if we wanted. The chatters were starting to die down and I saw a brunette in a nice looking simple dress moving up the stage with a tablet in her hands. The lights around them dimmed down and the microphone turned on. Lots of men and women in black clothing started coming out of the building and formed a wall in the middle of the aisle to push people to keep their distances to those who were going to walk down.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your time an patiences for being here tonight. I would like to put your hands together and point your heads towards the door behind you, Please give your warm welcomes to the new CEO and the cabinet members of Lunar Industries!

Everyone starts to clap their hands. I see a group of people coming out of the door and walk towards the stage.The first two faces I saw were Rex Brahman and Jen Jordan. I felt like time slowed down as each pair of people were coming out of the building.

I want money, power, and glory

I want money and all your power, all your glory

Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you got

Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

The next person that came out with two people following close behind was . . .oh my god. . . It's the stranger from a few weeks ago. The same woman from the club. Is that really her?

The sun also rises on those who fail the call

My life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls

I can do it if you really, really like that

I know what you really want, b-baby

I can do it if you think you like that

You should run, boy, run

Time was in slow motion again. Seeing her again literally took the air out of your lungs. Slowly making her way to the stage, looking like a literal goddess with her navy blue 3 piece suit with dark oxford shoes and her hair tied back into a tight ponytail like the time I last saw her.

I want money, power and glory

I want money and all your power, all your glory

Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

We shared a quick glance but it felt like it was long. The flashing lights of many cameras couldn't even break the eye contact. Before she passed me, she threw in a smile and a quick wink at me before she pulled herself towards the stage. Everything went back to a regular pace again.

"Lena. Please don't tell me that's the same person that ran into you a couple of weeks ago?" Sam whispers to me.

Alex tires to not dwell on it much, "Lena. Please confirm that's not her, right?"

"Damnit Lena, say something!" Nia wants to shake her daze off of her.

"If you don't say anything this very second, i will make an Supergirl appearance and embarras you!" Kara adds in.

"I don't think she's kidding, Lena" Winn rubs the back of his neck to figure out how this can be very bad or very good.

Moments before the clapping stopped, I finally answered, "Yes. That's her."
