When Earth, a dying planet, is destroyed by the effects of climate change, a four-year-old Lena finds herself strapped inside a pod and sent away from her world, and towards a planet her father found circling a red sun. Upon her arrival, ten years after her pod had been launched, she finds herself on Krypton, a planet that isn't kind to her human body.
The weight of a red sun is too much for her fragile physiology to bear, and with the threat of a shortened lifespan, Lena spends her days in isolation trying to find a cure for herself, instead, finding superhuman powers along the way. With the powerful House of El turning against the people of Kandor City, Krypton finds itself needing a hero, but with her frail body in danger, Lena has to choose what matters most to her; her health, or protecting the people she cares about.
A Sequel to Lena Luthor: Supergirl's True Kryptonite
They say that loving someone is one of the bravest things you can do, especially if you've been burned by it before. So, what happens when that very thing is used against you? What would you do if loving your partner was the thing that would kill them?
After the Crisis event and Leviathan, Lena Luthor thought her life was starting to stabilize. She and Kara were closer than ever now that they had revealed their secrets. And while Lena still struggled with knowing that her best friend was National City's superhero, she was beginning to lower her walls. However, just as peace settled over National City, Lillian intervened. In a twisted attempt to show her stepdaughter that her feelings for Kara are misplaced, she kidnaps the heroine and subjects her to the influence of red kryptonite in hopes that it would reveal the danger she poses. However, it doesn't go as planned, and Lex, seeing an opportunity, weaponizes the one thing Lena thought was safe - her feelings for her best friend.
