Cry Little Sister
Chapter One
The rain was falling down all over the place of Metropolis. Buildings, houses, cars, and yes even people were getting soak by the rain. It had been pouring since the beginning of March which was about three days ago and the residents were getting tired of it, wishing for the sun to come out and bring its warmth to them. With the rain, it's better to stay at home, or better yet in a nice warm bed where you can sleep, and not worry about going out there to work or someplace.
The rain was tapping at the windows of Dr. Lena Thorul's apartment. She was nodding her head to the little beat they were making, hitting the glass. She was glad she didn't have to be out there, to go to work. Something she normally wouldn't do.
The twenty five year old woman sighed. She looked at the suitcase and the clothes she was packing into it. She had to take a couple of days off from the hospital to get ready to leave to New York on Saturday for her surgery. Lena had insisted on working a couple of more days, but they said no that she had to relax and get ready for the heart transplant. It sadden Lena, because she loved being a doctor and helping people, who she gotten very close with over the years. They were only doing that for her own good, since she always had helped them, now it was there turn to help her. They even made her leave early last night to go get some sleep and to take the rest of the week off. Now that was a hassle, since Lena is a little stubborn, but so were the staff.
She sighed again, reaching for the remote and turning on the TV, with the news blasting in the room. Lena walked over to her dresser, to pull out some more clothes. The mirror showed her reflection, with ivory skin, and long brown hair with hints of red in it. It was in a braid going to her hips. Lena was small for her age, almost everyone towered over her. She wore a blue shirt, with blue jeans, and was barefooted.
She took the clothes out of the drawers, and then looked into the mirror. She stared back at her own reflection, with her bright lilac eyes staring back at her. Very unusual, but Lena lived with it her whole life.
The TV then said:
"In the news this morning, Wayne Industries and Luthor Corporations have arranged a meeting for a compromise, and working on projects for the future together. Reporters from Metropolis and Gotham have swarmed over to Luthor Corporations, where Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor are having their meeting at this very moment."
Right on the screen, Lena could see reporters and police officers crowding around in a circle with two men in the middle. Both of them were shaking hands with smug expressions on their faces. One man was much younger about in his middle twenties, and was very handsome. While the other one was older about in his mid thirties, still attractive, and had a smirk on his face.
Do all rich people smirk like that? wondered Lena as she saw the reporters thrusting their microphones at them and yelling out questions that needed to be answered. Two of the many reporters that she saw, Lena recognized right on the dot.
There's Clark and Lois. Sure enough they were right there talking to Lex.
"Mr. Wayne, what brought this on for you to agree on combining some of your companies with others?" asked Clark to the younger man.
"My father had always been one for creative ideas, and this would be one of them: Trying to help others and the public by helping out other large or small companies in the process." said Mr. Wayne.
"Mr. Luthor do you think this is an appropriate merging of the two companies?" asked Lois to the older of the men.
"This is a one in a life time experience, Mrs. Kent. You have to be ahead of everyone else or you will be standing in the dust."
"By a one in a life time experience, do you mean working on secret illegal projects?" stated Lois, her eyes showing tension and her voice filled with venom.
"I have no secrets."
Liar. thought Lena shaking her head. You do have secrets, my dear Alexi. The prime one would be the fact that Lex and Lena were related. The world would probably explode from all the shock if anyone found out that the evil Lex Luthor had a little sister. For years, Lex had build a reputation of being the successful and ruthless of businessmen, making billions of dollars of money and finding ways to get rid of Superman. (Which Lena would never let that happen. She was good friends with Superman, though her brother was his arch nemesis.)
Yet what the world would never know was that Lex had a softer side which Lena only saw. When he was away from the public eye and safe in his own private world, he would become the overprotective older brother that Lena knew and loved her whole life. No one knew that they were related except for Clark and Lois of course.
Lena had been friends with the Kent's since the day she arrived in Metropolis. Lena and Lex were separated many years ago when their mother had passed away, and their father had kicked Lex out of the house when he was seventeen and Lena seven. Then their father had died, with changing their last name when Lena was sent to live in an orphanage. She didn't even know she was a Luthor till December.
It was in November when Lena discovered she had heart cancer. It had been a shock for her, and didn't tell anyone about it till the day before her birthday when her mother's music box was returned to her as a birthday present. She had asked who had been in her office, only for the staff to say that Lex Luthor was the only one who had gone in there all day, except for her.
It had taken a month for Lena to straighten everything out with going to see doctors about her condition and what to do about her brother. She kept thinking over and over again if he didn't want to see her or be near her. Clark had gone to see her when she told them that she had cancer to go check up on her. He saw her crying on the floor with the music box playing a soft melody. Lena then told Clark everything, from her mother dying, to Lex being kicked out of the house, to her father's death, and to the return of the music box. She even told Clark that she had psychic powers and apologized for lying to them about it for all the years she had know them.
Clark understood everything and finally stopped her crying. Lena apologized for crying so much and making Clark laugh. Once she was calmed down, she told Clark that her older brother had returned the music box with a card and a note with doctor names on it to go see. Clark then asked what was wrong about it, and was shocked to find out that her brother was the one and only Lex Luthor. Lena thought Lex didn't want anything to do with her, but Clark thought differently. He told her that Lex does a lot of things without thinking, without even a care in the world, but this was different. It had probably taken a lot of courage for him to make contact with Lena, fearing rejection from her.
In the end, Clark was right. Lex had been worried about the whole thing, till he found Lena at his office wanting to talk to him. They had talked the whole night, and everything was alright. Lex wasn't too happy about Clark and Lois knowing about them (That being Lois threatening Lex if he ever lay a hand on her, he would die a thousand deaths), but he dealt with her and Lex knew Clark long enough to trust him.
To think it had only been two months ago. Time has surely passed by.
A beeping noise startled Lena from her thoughts. She looked at the dresser to see her phone ringing. Her eyes began to glow and the phone floated in the air to her hand. She opened the phone.
"Hello, this is Dr. Thorul speaking. How can I help you?"
"Lena!"
"Marie?" asked Lena. Marie was one of the nurses at the Metropolis Hospital, who was very good friends with her. Marie was a cheerful woman, but right now she sounded frantic. "What's wrong?"
"Thank God! I was able to reach you! Oh, something horrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Someone broke into the Hospital last night!"
"Christ! Was anyone hurt?" asked Lena. Concern was all over her face and was hinted in her voice.
"Just Rick and Todd. Apparently they saw whoever broke in and were about to grab then, when they suddenly were attacked from the behind. Don't worry though; they only got a couple of bruises. They will be fine."
"Thank God! Were they breaking into the storage room?" The storage area was where all the medicine was supplied at. They were only stolen by addicts or people in the Black Market.
"No they didn't." said Marie.
"They broke into the Main Office?" The Main Office is where all the files of patients medical history were stored. All of them were classified and signed by the doctors themselves.
"No. They didn't break into that room either, Lena."
"Then where did they break into?"asked Lena. When Marie had told her almost made her drop the phone.
"Lena, they broke into your office!"
Oh! A cliffhanger! I wonder whats going to happen next? You will just have to find out in the next chapter!
