CHAPTER 1.

Lena started blankly at her computer. Focusing seemed nearly impossible lately. It had been two weeks since the Daxamite invasion. Two weeks since she had last talked to her mother. Or anyone really. But that was her own doing. Her mind was in a scattered state. Her thoughts wondered far too often and it seemed nearly impossible to control. She was too mad. Too mad to Rhea for using her, too mad at her mother for disappointing her (again), and too mad at herself for letting this all happen. She was smart, she should have known better. She shouldn't have let herself get into such a mess. But she did. She had to go looking for love and approval in all the wrong places.

Lena let a soft sigh escape her red lips as she took a sip of the wine she can recently poured herself. She wondered when she would catch a break. This bad luck streak has to end soon, right? God she hoped so. Between her mother, Cadmus, the struggles with L Corp, Jack, and Rhea, she was starting to forget what it felt like to be happy. She felt like she was stuck in her own pity party, which she hated. It wasn't like her.

"Lena?"

She turned around at the voice speaking her name. The familiar voice that calmed her thoughts and warmed her heart. A smile immediately took hold of her lips.

"Supergirl! What brings you here?"

"I was in the neighborhood, thought I would stop by." The hero looked around the office as she spoke, taking in the details. There were two bottles of wine. One already empty. The trash was full of coffee cups and salad bowls. Lena was clearly spending all her time in the office.

"Have you even left your office lately?" She asked, giving a soft laugh.

"Work has been quite busy lately." Lena lied.

"Is that why no one has heard from you?"

"I guess I have been somewhat absent…"

"Kara Danvers has been worried."

"About me?"

"Yes about you. You went through a lot last time you two saw each other."

"Yes, well, so did she."

"She not the one avoiding calls."

Lena looked down, not knowing what to say. She felt bad not taking Kara's calls. She missed the blonde more then she cared to admit. But she didn't know how to face her after what happened. After all, it was her work that completed Rhea's plan. Had the Daxamite queen succeeded, Lena would have never forgiven herself. Not that she was doing a great job at that now.

"She doesn't blame you, you know. And neither do I."

Lena faked a laugh, attempting to hold back tears at Supergirls words. "I don't know why. It's my fault. It was my work that created the machine."

Supergirl stepped forward so that she was close to Lena, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You didn't know. Rhea lied to you, used you. She is to blame, not you."

"I should have known better. I shouldn't have trusted her so easily."

"Lena. Listen to me." Kara's hands moved from Lena's shoulder to her face, cupping her cheeks. "Do not blame yourself, none of what happened is your fault. It was you the helped save everyone. Again. You, Lena Luthor, are a hero."

Lena swore her heart gave out at the words. A hero. She didn't even think it was possible. A Luthor, being a hero. Not to mention being called one by a Super, an actual hero. Leave it to Supergirl to save the day. Her day. Kara's hands fell from Lena's face, down to her arms and then wrapped around the Luthors waist, causing the raven haired girl to place her arms around the heroes neck. She closed her eyes. In the moment, every worry and every trouble slipped her mind. She felt safe. She felt…hopeful? She wasn't sure. She just felt okay, everything was going to be okay.

Kara slowly pulled away, letting her hands linger on Lena's arms, enjoying feeling her warmth and breathing in her scent. She had missed her. Her smile, her laugh, her eyes. Everything. She just missed her. The past two weeks had been torture without the Luthor. Her Luthor.

"I'm always here if you need anything Lena. Anything. Please don't hesitate."

She smiled and nodded. "Thank you Supergirl."

The hero walked to the balcony, ready to take off into the night sky. She paused for a moment, turning to Lena once more. "You should call Kara Danvers." She said before flying away.

Lena watched smiling as Supergirl disappeared into the night sky. The sight never lost it touch, she stared up into the sky smiling.

"We need to talk."

Another familiar voice. Though is one had the opposite effect. Nothing good ever came from this voice. Lena slowly turned around, the smiling fading from her face.

"Mother."

Authors Note: Sorry the first chapter is so short. The next one will be longer I promise. But anyways, I'm attempting to make a Beaty and the Beast themed SuperCorp fanfic, though obviously I'm going to have to make some changes so I might have to be a minor theme. Lol. But yeah. Let me know what you think!

(Sorry for any typos/errors.)
