Hidden Truth

Nine year old Alura sat outside her school waiting for her parents to pick her up. She had been waiting for a little over an hour but none the less she was smiling. She couldn't wait to tell her moms how well practice for the school play was going and how she remembered all her lines this time. Still the nine year old couldn't help but worry her parents were never late for her and when they couldn't get her they would always send one of the drivers to get her. Alura looked up when she heard a noise. Alura met a pair of blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Alura asked the girl.

"Thatdoesn't matter right now." The girl said. "Right now all I need you to know is that you're gonna be okay."

"Is thisabout my Mama and Mom?" Alura asked. She watched as the girl's blue eyes filled with tears. Tears that she wasn'tlettingfree. The girl nod her head and Alura felt something in the pit of her stomach that she didn't like.

"It is." The girl confirmed. "I'm gonna need you to be strong. To fight as hard as you can not matter what life throws your way, but most importantly you have to know none of this was your fault and realize one day that maybe we just couldn't save them." Alura felt herself begin to cry and the girl pulled her into a tight embrace.

"What happened to my moms?" Alura managedto ask.

"They're gone honey." The girl whispered to her and Alura sobbed. "It's okay, let it out. Let out the anger it's okay." Alura felt as everything around her became clear. She could hear the cars from far away, she could hear the ambulance. Alura screamed in pain as she felt heat from her eyes. She whimper when she felt the girl pull away.

"It'sgonnabe okay." The girl assures as she disappeared. Alura tried to block out everything she was hearing, remember how her Mama had talked to her before about her powers coming in. Yet the nine year old always imagined herparents would be right there with her.

"Hey, sweetie. I need you to breath." Said a woman to her.

"Too loud." Alura said softly as she cover her ears.

"Okay, I've got you." The woman whispered as she lifted her up gently. Alura could feel every fiber from her clothes and the woman's.

The next morning Alura woke up in a bed she didn'tknow. Everything was eerie. She could see a woman through the wall of the room. She could hear the kids in the park, but she was in a room.

"Where am I?" Alura asked when thewoman stepped in.

"You're in my house Alura. My name Lena Luthor, I mean no harm to you Ijust want to help." Lena stepped closer to the child. She reached out and handed the girl a pair of glasses. "Put them on they will help with your vision." Lena smiled when the girl put on the glasses and mumbled a woah. When she learned who the girl really was Lena instantly tried to call her parents but when she saw the news and heard that an attempted on Kara and Cat Danvers-Grant had happened she did everything in her power tofind out what happened. To Lena's worst fear the girl had been left an orphan her parents died. Lena knew very well that Kara Danvers-Grant was Supergirl, so she would do her best to help Kara's child. She had talked to her lawyers and Alura had no one that could legally take her and the only person thatcould had refused. Her aunts were currently in another country with no known phone or address. Eliza Danvers had passed away a couple of years ago and Miss Grant's older son said he had a life of his own. So Lena chose to take her in. She owed that much to the girl of steel that managed to save her countless times. Lena would be a parent to the girl, or try at least.

A year went by and Lena couldn't be happier. Alura had gotten a hold on her powers. The girl still got over whelmed from time to time but it was understandable. Lena watched as the girl worked on the floor painting. Lena had bought her new paints yesterday and Alura had said she wanted to paint a sky.

"Ma someone here." Alura mumbled. Lena got closer to her daughter and was about to ask her if she could see how many people but her door flew open. Lena pulled Alura closer covering her from the view of the people. Lena watched as two women approached her.

"Aunt Alex." Yelled Alura as she ran to Alex. Alex hugged the girl and smiled, she was going to take her niece home.

"It's time I take her back to her family Luthor." Lena could hear the venom in Alex's voice, but Lena wasn't going to give up her daughter with out a fight. In the year that had past Lena grew to love her daughter deeply and she knew she couldn't let the agent take her with out a fight.

"No way she's my daughter."

"If you really care about her you'll let her come with her real family."

"Alura." Lena said softly as she bent down to the girls height. "The choice is your like it was the first time I asked if you'd let me be your Ma. If you want to go with your aunt Alex I will let you go." Lena was fighting hard not to cry in front of her daughter. She would be okay regardless of what the girl chose.

"Ma I love you." Alura mumbled as she threw herself into Lena's arms. "I want my aunt but I want to stay with you Ma. Please don't let me go."

"Wouldn't dream of it." Lena assured. Lena came to agreement with Alexandra Danvers she would allow her to be a part of Alura's life as long as that was what Alura desired.

Angel never really understood who the girl was but now that she was older she did. It was her, she now understood what the message meant and Angel was beginning to believe that she wouldn't be able to save her parent maybe it was their destiny to die. Alura couldn't complain about the life she had after her parents died. Yes it was difficult for her to get use to having powers but Lena was there. Lena was her Ma, Lena raised her and loved her and now here she was trying to change the past for a selfish reason. She was being selfish and she knew it. 

"Angel." She turned around to see Lena Luthor and Maggie Sawyer approaching her it had been two weeks since the accident and two weeks since Alex found out she was from the future.

"Don't even think about it." Lena said when Angel tired to leave. Angel found it funny how even if Lena didn't know that she was her mother the woman was able to control her. Angel did miss her Ma and would give anything to go back to her time. To be able to be in Lena's embrace and sleep.

"What can I do for you two?" Angel asked.

"We have a question." Maggie said. "You see I think you forgot I speak Spanish well what you said about thinking you lost Lena caught my attention. Who is she to you."

"Before ask I really want to know." Lena added.

"You are my Ma. You adopt me after my parent you know." Angel explains before walking away a bot too fast for a normal human. She would get back home she just needed to fix the device that opened the portal. Once she achieved that she could get back home to her time. She would let history play itself out and if repeated itself then her parents were meant to die if it didn't them maybe her life will be different.
