More Than The Luthor Name

Two Is Better Than One

She was five now. A big girl, despite having to remind her mothers of that nearly constantly. Alura Elizabeth Danvers was even about to start going to school! She was so excited. She'd been nervous the day before, but today she was excited! Because today— today was THE day!

Mama (Kara) and Mommy (Lena) were taking her to visit the school's playground, as it was a day before the first day of school. They'd be taking her brother, Calvin, with them too, so she had someone to play with. Unfortunately, because of who her parents were, Alura didn't really have a lot of friends outside of her family.

But that was okay. She didn't mind so much. Uncle Winn and Aunt Lyra, and Aunt Maggie and Aunt Alex had children. Better yet, they were all younger than her, exactly Calvin's age! So she got to boss them around. Sadly though, Jamie was older than her. But Jamie didn't boss her around! Jamie was nice.

"Mama! Mommy! It's playground time!" Lulu called up to her parents. "Come on Calvin! You can do it! Climb the stairs, Cal-El!" Lulu encouraged her brother, her eyes shining as she clapped for him.

"Alura Zor-El, what have we said about Cal on the stairs?" Kara's voice carried over from the doorway of her mothers' room. Alura looked down, hanging her head in shame. "That he's not to be on the stairs, 'cause he's itty bitty." She ran to the steps, picking her brother up quickly. At three, he wasn't that much smaller than her, but he still didn't protest. He liked his sister a lot.

"Good girl." Lena came out of the bedroom, looking fit for a runway. In a yellow sundress with flowers all over it, she also looked like she'd stolen it from Kara's side of the closet. But no one was going to call her out on that.

"Mommy you're so pretty." Alura half-dragged, half-carried her brother down the rest of the steps. "Easy, brother." Alura warned Calvin. "Now you crawl." She helped him lay back down onto the floor.

Lena flashed her daughter a smile that lit up the room. "Thank you baby, but wait until you see your mama. Now that's a stunner, yeah?" She teased, walking down the stairwell. "Have you had breakfast yet? Other than the doughnuts that your mama brought home from work." she added.

"Um.... No." Alura admitted, wiping her sleeve against her still powdered mouth. Lena made a sound of horror, cringing.

"You are definitely your Mama's daughter." Lena sighed. "Go change your shirt. I'll make you cereal." As Alura ran up the stairs, Lena added in a shout, "And don't run up those stairs, little miss! You could get hurt."

"Sorry Mommy!"

Kara appeared out of the room she shared with Lena a few seconds later. "What's with all the shouting?" The blonde asked. Kara's hair was in an up-do, and she was wearing a pair of jeans, as well as a shirt that said SUPER MOM. Lena had gotten it for her as a joke, but Kara had cried, and so it was kept.

"Lulu eated doughnuts." explained the youngest Danvers, making a beeline for his mama. "Mommy not happy."

Kara swept Calvin up into her arms. "How many of the doughnuts did she eat? I was saving them for my after-workout treat." Kara whined to Lena.

"Half of them." Lena replied, making a face. "And then she wiped her face on her shirt! If I had done that, Lillian would have probably attempted actual murder—" She cut herself off, shaking her head.

Kara placed a hand on top of Lena's. "But you're NOT that witch, so you just sent her up to change shirts. Am I right?" Kara arched a brow.

"I'd never lay a hand on her, you know that." Lena replied in the affirmative. "And I know it too. I guess I'm still just a little scared." She shrugged it off as Alura came back downstairs, skipping over to the island so she could eat her cereal.
