Present day
Lena stands up from the warm comfort of the blonde's arms. "I should... get going" Lena sheepishly murmurs.
"You told your mom you wouldn't go home." Kara is confused.
"Right... look, no matter what I do she's going to-" Lena starts but is suddenly cut off.
"Kara. The video was taken down." Alex lets Kara know and Lena's eyes widen and then she looks down.
"How w-" Kara goes to ask.
"It doesn't matter" Lena blurts knowing her mother ordered the government to take it down. Lena hopes her mother didn't tell the president it was her daughter in the video. Lena wanted to stay away from the Luthor name. She told her mother she didn't care what she did, she just didn't want to be involved in the media as a Luthor. She didn't mean she wanted to be apart of the media like that. Not how she had just been exposed. No, not like that. Lena sighs and gets her stuff together, beginning to walk out.
"Katie." Kara calls and follows her. Lena turns around. "I hope it goes well. I hope your mother doesn't do anything too crazy. I hope you and she can make up" Kara sympathizes. Lena lets out a bitter chuckle. She would never get along with her mother. The young blonde didn't even know the half of it. She was far from being able to see the blind spot. The shaded, covered, coated, however you would like to call it, part Lena has left out. Lena continues to walk, preparing herself for the worst.
The young girl got to the back of the mansion and climbed through the trees and bushes that thankfully covered her from paparazzi and film. She gets through the door and is immediately met with her mother standing with her arms crossed. "Mother I-" Lena started. Her mother walked to her and was cut off to a strike of a palm to her face. Lena had never been cuffed this hard. Lena fell to the floor with the force used. The young girl was on the floor, keeping her body up with her hands. Her mother bent down and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to the couch.
"Sit." Her mother ordered, surprisingly containing her volume. Lena slowly crawled to the couch and sat. She sat with her hands in her lap looking down, refraining from allowing the tears to fall. Her mother grabbed her chin with two fingers and forced her head up to look at her. "What the hell were you thinking?!" Her mother articulates.
"I- I-" Lena fails at finding words to explain "I didn't-" Her mother scoffs and lets her face go in a whisk motion. She turns around and takes a few steps.
"Sixteen, Lena." Her mother says calmly, then turns around and looks at the frail girl and raises her voice. "You are SIXTEEN years old, Lena!" Her mother scoffs. Lena bites her lip and fights the tears. "I don't know what I am going to do with you. You are out of control. You are uncontrollable. You are disobedient, defiant. God you're going to make me go through all the synonyms, young lady." Her mother turns back around and mutters to herself thinking of what to do with the young girl.
"Well I'll be seventeen tomorr-" Lena mutters but is quickly cut off.
"Shut it. You have no right to speak after the stunts you have pulled." Her mother sighs. "I'm thinking of what I am going to do with you, Lena." There is a long pause. "Room. Go. Now." Her mother orders. Lena scurries to her room, falling onto the bed weakly, forcing the tears back. Lena falls asleep quickly, all hopes given up on being happy anymore.

Lena walked through the endless forest. "Kara...?" She calls out, afraid. Walking around as the trees go further and further and it gets darker and darker. Lena's heart races at the unknown. The darkness engulfed her body in a blanket of terror. The trees formed shadows that laughed in pity at the girl. Lena was just about ready to fall to the floor, cover her ears, and count to ten. Not that that would do anything. She stood tall and continued into the abyss of the forest she found herself in.
