Living under their shadow
Lenas POV
I stayed outside longer than I should off have, I was still processing everything I got from supergirl. Was she saying the truth? If so how come I never got to hear about it?
I let out a deep breath and headed inside to get some answers. For once, I was thankful of having at my disposal bags full of food, I had been stress eating for at least two hours. And no, it had nothing to do with L-crop or Catco. Well maybe it had a bit to do with Catco, but I was looking into supergirl's journey. I didn't know she had went through such hell to get where she is now, and still lots of people mistreat her for being an alien, for being the man of steels' cousin and for being a woman. It was true, every detail Supergirl had told her was right there, Catco had her whole journey out on the public, in where there was no room for mistakes, at least not for the girl of steel.
She saw every single article in where the girl of steel was being compared to his cousin, how hard everyone was on her for having to fill in everyone's expectations, and it was all because she was related to superman. She hadn't realized supergirl had been superman's shadow as of now, she didn't even consider it. People were out there downgrading the girl of steel, because she wasn't superman. Supergirl had been trying so hard to make a name for herself, since the very beginning. Lena was trying to make a name for herself too, out of the Luthor name. She could now see, they weren't so different from each other after all.
Sure, she made the wrong call by using James as her personal spy, but due to her previewed experiences I could perfect understand why she did. im not saying it was correct, I was wrong of her to do that, but she was scared and triggered. Just as much as I had been when Edge tried to frame me, I tried to put a bullet through his skull, I wasn't thinking, I was just feeling. Thats simply how the human brain works, it gets overwhelmed by the information and looks a way to escape. On my case, I was willing to kill a man, on her case, she was willing to use James as her asset.
She was getting way to overwhelmed by everything, she felt connected to the kryptonian, and that scared her.
Lenas was knocked out of her thoughts as she heard a knocking on the door. The door slid open revealing James its a concerned look on his face. He was definitely worried about my well being, as far as he knew I was supposed to meet him at my apartment, but it was 3 am and I was still in my office.
--You know, people tend to sleep at this time of the night-- James said with a little smirk on his mouth.
I just let out a small laugh and locked eyes with him.
--Im a busy woman, you knew what you were getting into when you decided to date a Luthor-- I replied back with a dominant tone.
As James was walking toward me, he noticed the empty bags of food laying on both my desk and floor. I knew what he was going to ask, so I just said I got hungry and ordered in. After all I was pretty tired, and I didn't want to explain James my whole chit chat with the kryptonian. She needed to relax, and what a better way to relax than having James Olsen at her disposal.
Lena could feel the sunlight hit her skin through the window, she could feel James' body right next to her. Honestly, it could have been better. Before standing up, she slowly got rid of James' arms and walked to her kitchen. She stared at herself in the mirror just to see the marks on her neck, a little reminder of what happened last night. She grabbed the huge shirt that was gently laying on the ground to cover herself up.
She returned to bed just to see James wide awake staring at the window, when she turned to see it was too late. Reign was right there ready to strike, luckily Lena had some kryptonite at her disposal. She was able to get rid of rain, while James called supergirl. The girl of steel, got there in a matter of seconds, being the first to encounter with the scene. Of course backup was called already, and she was waiting for her sister to join. When she noticed her surroundings. No, it wasn't the kryptonite, it was the several amount of clothes that were spread all over the floor. Supergirl blushed at the thought of that, which both Lena and James noticed.
--Im going to wait outside...for the rest of the team to arrive. Excuse me.--
Thats the fastest I have ever seen supergirl disappear. Bloody hell, that was embarrassing.
