I know what family is (and you're not it)
“Go home. Stay safe.” And with that Kara was gone, a sudden reminder that dating Kara wasn’t going to be anything like what Lena was used to. Of course nothing about her relationship with Kara had been like she’d been used to up to this point. Lena looked over at Alex who had finished her call.
“I’ve got a ride coming will you be alright getting back?” Alex asked but she was clearly in work mode so even though Lena probably would’ve preferred an escort she didn’t intend to mention that to Alex.
Lena nodded. “I’ll be fine.” Alex nodded back then turned towards a black SUV that had appeared quite suddenly and got in leaving Lena alone.
She’d only been walking by herself for a block when she noticed the man following her. Not wanting him to know that she knew he was tailing her she continued her same pace although she decided very quickly to abandon her trek to Kara’s apartment. No way I’m leading anyone to Kara.
Shortly after she’d changed course the man rushed her. She tried to fight but was very quickly overpowered. She was thrown into the back of a windowless work van.
“Hello Lena.”
“Mother.” Lena let a mask of calm slip over her expression.
“I had hoped you would be willing to cooperate more and that we wouldn’t have to resort to this.”
“You mean kidnapping me and bombing my home and office?” Lena scoffed. “And exactly what did you hope to accomplish with those two little stunts?”
“Simply to get your attention. I knew you weren’t there. This time Lena, you WILL help me.”
“Why would I ever?”
“Because you have no choice.” Lillian said simply. “You’re going to need to get some rest we have a long trip ahead of us.”
Before Lena can respond she felt the pinch of a needle in her neck. “Oh you bitch...” She manages before the world goes dark.
When she comes to the van has come to a stop and she’s being dragged out.
“Now. You’re the only one that can get us into Lex’s facility.” Lillian says grabbing Lena by the wrist.
“What makes me so special. Lex never trusted me with that kind of information, even less so the more insane he got.”
“It’s a bio-metric lock than can only be opened with Luthor blood. Your blood.”
“I’m afraid I’m not following you. I was adopted, as you so kindly like to remind me.”
“You may not be my daughter. But you were Lionel’s, why else would we have taken in some orphan brat. He paid off your mother so she wouldn’t talk about their dalliance. Of course she had to go and get sick and die so we got saddled with you anyway. Now this will only hurt for a second.”
I’m a Luthor by blood... They knew and never told me.
Lillian snatched Lena’s wrist and held it tightly onto the pad at the entrance of a massive door cut into the side of a cave. It pricked her skin Lena let out a pained yelp.
“My brilliant boy.” Lillian said softly as the massive doors opened reveling a brightly lit lab. “Keep her close we don’t know what else we might need her for.”
Lena felt the same man grabbing her roughly by the shoulders. Lena quietly took stock of everything around her. As much as she hated to admit it, she was scared. How am I going to get out of this. Will Kara be able to find me? And even if she does Lillian might be planning something for that. Surely she’s planned for Supergirl to show up. Despite her inner panic Lena’s expression was calm, bored even, as her mother and her goons walked around looking at things like kids in a toy store.
Lena was about to ask her mother about her plan when they all heard a loud crash. Supergirl! Kara. Lena fought back a relieved smile.
“Let. Her. Go.” Kara said through gritted teeth.
Before Kara had a chance to even throw a punch Lillian pushed a button on one of the gadgets she’d been looking at and a terrible noise filled the cavern and Supergirl was on her knees hands clutching her ears as she screamed.
“And what are you going to do? Perhaps I’ll tell Lena who you really are and then we’ll see whose side shes on?” Lillian smirked. “Better yet we could tell the entire world.”
“Mother please! Stop” Lena cried out. “Stop it. You’re hurting her. Don’t hurt her.” Lena summoned every ounce of strength she had and slammed her elbow into the noes of the man that had been holding her. She grabbed at the gun on his hip while he was distracted by the blood gushing from his noes and fired it at the box in her mothers hands silencing the noise.
Lillian frowned. “You would choose this thing over your family?”
“I know exactly who she is.” Lena said with a fierce look in her eyes.“And she is more my family than you have ever been.”
“Well then you can die here with her.” Lillian sneered. She turned towards a helicopter that had already been started. “I’m sorry it has to end this way.”
Self destruct in one minute.
Lena looked at Kara who appeared to only just be getting her bearings back. “Kara! we have to get out of here now.”
Kara looked at her. “I can’t hear you” she shouted. “We should get out of here. I’m not sure if I can fly.”
Lena looked around panicked. The van. they left the van. She pulled Kara along with her her and shoved her into the van thankful they were dumb enough to leave the keys. She stepped on the gas hard and hoped it was fast enough.
Self destruct in Ten... Nine.... Eight.... Seven...
The rest of the count faded and was replaced by a deafening 'boom’ that rocked the van but didn’t stop it. They pulled away from the mountain. Lena breathed a sigh of relief. she’s still out there. but at least we’re safe for now.
