A/N: Soooo I started writing and this is what somehow came out. I've been working on my other fics as well, but sometimes an idea gets stuck and all I can do is write it all out in order to move on with my other stuff. Anyways, hope you enjoy this little twist of time. Fair warning, this fic can get a little dark, but hopefully I'm not as sadistic of a writer as I think I am.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Wrong Timing

She rolled her eyes as the woman in the red skirt leered down at her. She had accidentally created a crater nearly 3 miles in diameter at the center of national city. It wasn't exactly her fault that her body had throttled a few coordinates shy of her intended crash site. In fact if there was anyone to blame for her haphazard landing, the red skirt girl should be yelling at the pale, corporate woman with dark hair who was standing by her, arms crossed and with a rather wary expression.

"I'm going to ask again, where are you from?" Alex asked as she paced back and forth in front of the captive, who lay on a rather firm bed. "And don't say…"

"Earth." The girl answered resolutely. Her pale green eyes, with a tinge of blue, scanned over the three women that crowded at the foot of her bed. "I was born here."

"No, I was born here and that's why when I put a needle to my skin, it pierces!" Alex exclaimed and gripped the bed's bottom rail. "Explain those," Alex demanded as she pointed to all the broken and bent needles that lay in a tray to the girl's left.

"Obviously they're not sharp enough," the girl said with a straight face as she held Alex's gaze. "Anyhow, I'm sorry about the mess." The girl muttered but the apology was made in earnest. She hadn't come here to fight; in fact, her sole purpose was to help these people out. Her eyes flitted to the woman in the skirt, who wore a familiar crest on her chest, and found herself at a loss for words once again.

Supergirl's expression softened and cast a gaze of concern towards Alex. She had found this girl unconscious, in the middle of the crater, stark naked but without a mark on her. She had fallen right in front of L-corp and Lena had been one of the first to arrive at the scene. At first there was only concern for the girl when they had brought her back to the DEO, but once it was certain that nothing could pierce her skin, things got a bit more complicated.

"Don't furrow your brows so much, it might become a permanent look," the girl drew her attention away from Kara as she continued to scrutinize the captor. "Unless that's what you're going for."

"I'm not sure you understand the situation you find yourself in,' Alex grinded her teeth as she spoke to the teasing youth.

"No I fully understand my predicament," The girl sighed. "Obviously you two still haven't figured it out," the girl said as she looked at Supergirl and then Lena. "So not only was my landing off, but so was my timing."

"Figured what out?" Supergirl asked as she glanced nervously at Lena. "There's nothing to figure out between Ms. Luthor and I."

"She's just… trying to get under our skin." Lena commented. "What's your name?"

"It's rather long, but you can call me Arryn."

"Arryn... " Lena waited for a last name.

"I'm not sure that's wise; how about I tell you once I know I can trust you." Arryn reasoned. "And since you can't pierce my flesh, there's no use forcing the situation."

"Not even I'm indestructible," Kara warned.

"I know that, mother always says…" Arryn stopped herself, feeling herself give away more than she should. "I mean… so I've heard… on youtube or whatever."

"Riiiiight," Alex groaned, "ok Arryn, last chance, where are you from?"

Arryn sighed and sat up from her hospital bed; she felt a bit worn from the jump, but it was nothing she hadn't felt before. "The question is not where, it's when."

"When?" Kara asked and cocked her head to the side.

"As in time travel?" Lena clarified.

Arryn smirked and nodded, "correcto mundo, I'm from the future. The somewhat distant future. I was sent back by… well you," Arryn stated as her gaze lingered on Lena. Technically her mother had told her she was to reveal her identity straight away, but that was under the assumption that she'd be dropped in the right pocket of time. And she hadn't... after all, Supergirl still called Lena, Ms. Luthor.

"By her?" Alex rudely pointed at Lena with a bewildered expression.

Arryn scratched the back of her head and caused some of her golden strands of hair to fall into her face; she tucked them back behind her ear. She had asked her mother once about her strange hair, about why one side was golden and the other stark black, and why she couldn't tame the golden side while the darker hair always fell perfectly into place. Her mother had laughed and told her it was because her other mother, the one that they needed to save, was wild and too full of life to ever sit still. Ever since she could remember, her mother always told her stories of her golden-haired mother who could fly and had unfathomable strength, but who was also addicted to pizza and potstickers and cheesy rom-coms.

"And why would I send you back in time?" Lena asked, more curious than angry.

"To help of course, mother." She did it. She dropped the m-bomb and waited for a reaction. So far only Alex seemed to draw a rather obvious conclusion as she looked at Lena, Arryn and Kara and then back again to Arryn.

"M,m,mother? That means you're Lena's…I mean Ms. Luthor's" Kara stammered and looked back at Lena, "daughter? And you have super powers?"

Arryn nodded and saw that Lena had also concluded what Alex had only moments ago, and going off of her blush, she wasn't wholly prepared for that conclusion. Surely her other mother had also figured it out by now, but the longer she held Kara's gaze, the less apparent that seemed.

"So… in the future, that means," Kara pinched her lips together as she drummed up a hypothesis and Lena held her breath as Kara came to a conclusion. "Ms. Luthor can make super babies… somehow, with science probably."

Arryn gave Kara a rather pallid expression and wondered how her genius mother ever coupled with this daft woman. "Yes… I'm Lena's daughter, let's leave it at that for now." She sighed and scooted herself off the bed. "Anyhow, I'd like to go home."

"Go home?" all three asked.

"Oh right, you two still haven't..." Arryn muttered under her breath. "Well then can I go home with you?" She looked at Lena.

"Well…" Lena took a moment to collect her thoughts. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

Arryn smiled and approached the doubtful woman. She had outgrown her mother some time ago, and now at the age of 19, she was almost as tall as Supergirl. She unclasped a small silver chain and handed the necklace to Lena. The woman took the jewelry and examined it diligently. It was a tiny metallic cube that didn't seem to have much detail.

"Press the top and bottom side at the same time and say your name; that'll give you access to see the images."

Lena nodded and did as she was told. Suddenly, out of the tiny metallic cube, pictures populated the space around her and Lena gasped. There was one of her holding a small bundle in her arms, another of her holding onto a leash while Arryn floated happily above in an L-corp harness, and the very last image was of her… and Kara.

"Is something supposed to happen?" Kara asked, looking quizzically at Lena.

"You can't see them?" Lena asked.

"No, she can't… that only gave you access to see them. You could say her name too, and that'd give her access."

"Except she doesn't know my name," Kara stated.

"What a shame then, seeing as only mother can give access."

Kara pouted but then looked at Lena, "even if I can't see them, I trust you. Is she telling the truth?"

Lena nodded and quickly looked away from the Super's gaze. Any more of a blush and Kara would wonder what she had seen. "She is. I also think it best if she stay with me."

"Whoa whoa hold up there," Alex intervened. "As touching a family reunion as this is, I can't just let you walk out of here."

"Ok so is flying an option?" Arryn asked with a smirk and Kara snorted as she held back her laughter, earning a glare from her sister.

"A smart ass huh? I wonder where you got that from." Alex muttered.

"Oh well, you know, I had a bunch of influential aunts and uncles to learn from. I had this one particular aunt who pretty much set the standard for sarcasm."

Her insinuations were becoming more apparent, but Alex wasn't entirely ready to concede that this girl was her niece begotten by her sister and Lena.

"I guess your father must have more siblings than Lena has," Kara concluded in a rather dismal tone. Arryn was surprised at how easily Kara wore her heart on her sleeve, but somehow managed to miss all the signs around her. It was clear as day that Kara was already moping about the thought of Lena creating a family with someone else, so mopey that she failed to realize she was that someone else. She wanted to say she didn't have a father, but she refrained. If anyone knew how to help her out of this mess it was her mother.

"I'll keep her out of trouble," Lena insisted.

"And I'll help!" Kara offered before Alex could shut her down. "I'll stop by after my patrols to make sure everything is alright."

Alex groaned but knew she wasn't going to get anywhere by trying to detain the girl at the DEO. What she really wanted to do was put her under a kryptonite lamp and see if that affected her at all. It would at once confirm that she was partially kryptonian and, if she could get a blood sample, she would know for sure if she really was Kara and Lena's daughter. However, she doubted Kara would allow for that to happen and even Lena looked like she might go on the defensive.

"Fine," Alex conceded, "but during the day, you are to report here with Supergirl."

"Works for me," Arryn shrugged. "Ready to go home?" She asked and looked at Lena.

"Uh… yeah, of course, but," Lena took a moment to catch up to her reality. She was going home to her loft and she was taking her daughter from the future with her… a daughter she had somehow made with Kara. There would be at least one glass of whiskey going down her throat tonight. "Just so we're clear, we are driving."

Arryn groaned, "but cars are so slow and boring."

Kara giggled again but this time it was Lena who leered at her.

When they arrived at Lena's loft, Arryn scanned the large and mostly vacant space. Lena watched astutely as the younger girl walked along the edges. It was modern, clean and looked like a promotional picture in a luxury apartment ad. She looked at the walls and noted the lack of pictures or art. She lingered forward and came upon a bookcase and finally glimpsed on something familiar. Her mother loved to read and this bookcase contained some of her favorites. She let out a sigh of relief, at least she was in the right timeline and her mother wasn't a complete stranger.

"Soooo…" Lena started but then couldn't decide where to lead. "Are you thirsty?" She asked as she poured herself a drink.

"I'll have what you're having," Arryn responded nonchalantly.

Lena raised her brow, "I doubt you're old enough for that."

"I'm half kryptonian, alcohol really doesn't do much… well not that kind anyways." Arryn smirked as she returned to the kitchen.

"Half kryptonian huh…" Lena threw back her drink and poured another.

"Hey now, I said it doesn't do much for me… you probably shouldn't down them so fast." She spoke gently as she placed her hand on Lena's. "I'm sorry, I know I'm probably freaking you out."

"It's just a lot." Lena admitted with a sigh. "I mean you're from a future… a future where she and I…" Lena's face turned bright red before she could finish.

"Make super babies," Arryn teased as she recalled Supergirl's words. "Or technically, singular, so super baby."

"Yes, that. I can't even imagine…" Lena spoke softly.

"Is that true?" Arryn asked, picking up clearly on Lena's painful words. "Can you really not imagine her loving you?"

Lena bit her lip, she had forgotten about the girl's super hearing. She'd have to remember that in the future. "It's complicated."

"I can only speak from experience, but," Arryn smiled softly, "loving you was as easy as breathing… probably easier. I'm sure that oblivious blonde is already in love with you."

Lena laughed at Arryn's description of Kara and felt a surge of emotions burrow in her chest. It was a sort of frightful, excited, thrilling sensation that at once made Lena want to smile and cry. The girl was looking at her with unabashed affection and it was slightly unnerving to the young woman who had only known the conditional love her adoptive mother sometimes saw fit to bestow on her.

"Thank you for that… no one's said anything like that to me, ever." Lena continued her chuckle, "but should you really be calling your other mom an oblivious blonde?"

Arryn shrugged, "she is what she is." Truth be told Arryn had no idea what Supergirl was like. She only heard stories and sometimes saw old news videos. "So I take it you two aren't anywhere near to confessing your feelings, much less making super babies?"

"I do spend a lot of time with her...but actually, right now I'm dating…" Lena paused as a monitor near her door began to beep and soon enough she saw James requesting access to come up to her loft. Could anything be any more ill-timed? She fretted for a moment on what she should do, but before she could assess all the pros and cons, Arryn had already hit accept on the device. "Hey!"

"This should be interesting." Arryn arched her brow and Lena recognized the gesture as her own.

"Be...nice or behave, whatever you do, do not tell James you are our daughter."

"So what, I'm some long lost cousin?"

"Good to know you have improv skills." Lena sighed as she watched James go in the elevator from the monitor. "God knows we'll need them."

"I'm actually very good at being what you need," Arryn reassured. "Plus I want to see who came before the blonde. You never spoke of other romantic partners."

"Probably because it didn't matter at that point," Lena muttered. "I may have to reconsider having children."

"Well you did and that's how I came about, so I'm all for your reconsideration." Arryn shot back and leaned against the counter as a small knock resounded from the door.

Lena rolled her eyes at the girl but opened the door for James nonetheless. James walked in with a 'hey babe' and immediately scooped Lena in his arms for a kiss. Arryn watched with a smirk as Lena squirmed to get out of his grasp and break the kiss. James gave her a quizzical look and only then noticed that they weren't alone.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you had company." James straightened himself up and extended his hand. "Hi, I'm James Olsen."

"Hi, Arryn, nice to meet you."

"Likewise," James smiled and couldn't help but notice the girl's strange hair. "That's a really cool hair style."

"You think?" Arryn grabbed a strand of her blonde hair. "I get it from both my mothers."

"It's natural?" James asked.

"She means to say her style is influenced by her very gay mothers." Lena explained.

Arryn burst out laughing but nodded all the same. "Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Couldn't decide on blonde or brunette so I said why not both? And my very gay mothers approved."

"I see," James was a little lost on the joke and looked back at Lena. "new intern or?"

"No… she's my cousin on my mother's side actually. She'll be staying with me for awhile."

"Oh, wow… that explains the resemblance. Though…" James examined the youth in front of him and swore there was something about her that seemed familiar. "Nah, it's just my imagination." The man waved a hand in front of him as if that would break the illusion he seemed to be caught up in.

"Right, well, I'd like to get her settled in before tomorrow, so I'm afraid I'm not free tonight."

"Of course, sorry I came over unannounced, after the whole crater at L Corp. I was worried so I wanted to check in."

"You're so sweet, but I'm fine, promise." Lena smiled and left a small peck on James' cheek.

Arryn began to make gagging sounds but coughed when Lena whipped her head to look at her holding a small bowl of olives. "Olive… I was choking on an olive."

They said their goodbyes and once Lena was alone with Arryn, she walked to the couch and threw a pillow at her. Of course, the half kryptonian caught it with ease and threw it back with some force. The pillow collided with Lena and caused her to stumble backwards and over her couch. Before she could tumble off the couch, she felt strong arms cradle her and pick her back up.

"Sorry, I forget how fragile you were." Arryn apologized sincerely as she placed Lena on the couch. "I guess I'll have to be more careful."

"How on earth did I survive raising you? I take it your other mother was around to help with your powers." Lena groaned and sunk into her couch.

Arryn's throat tightened even as she smiled. The things she knew would have been easier to share if her mother was already with the oblivious blonde, but she wasn't. She didn't even believe the girl could love her, so there was no way Arryn was going to unload the scarier parts of her mission. She'd wait until Lena was ready… until both of them were ready.

"Yeah, but you had your ways." Arryn said and flopped next to Lena. "You had this look."

Lena opened her eyes and glared at the girl next to her.

"That one!" Arryn chuckled and used a pillow to shield herself from Lena's glare. "I knew when you gave me that look that I had better shape up or you were going to send me to bed without a story or a kiss."

"I sound absolutely frightful," Lena said and then found herself feeling a bit awkward. It was about time to get to bed, and according to the nineteen year old she was expecting Lena to give her a kiss goodnight. She had never been keen on affection… it had never been shown to her outside of a romantic relationship.

"Don't worry I outgrew all of that… as teenagers are wont to do." Arryn added and then stood up from the couch. "Do you have a spare room?"

"Yeah, follow me," Lena stood and led the girl to the guest room. "It's not much, but-"

"It's perfect," Arryn said before her mother could think of anything lacking. "Anyhow you should get some rest. I'll be flying to the DEO in the wee hours of the morning."

"The wee hours?" Lena teased.

"You did raise me, after all." Arryn said and stood awkwardly at the doorway. She wanted to hug her mother, but the woman that stood before her was so different than the one she had left behind. Her mother was loving and affectionate and would always bother her with unnecessary hugs and kisses. This one looked like she was afraid to be touched. "Goodnight," she murmured and then slowly pulled Lena in for a hug. "I won't call you mother anymore since I can tell you're still freaked out, but I couldn't help but hug you. Is this ok?"

Lena let out a deep breath and relaxed into the embrace. She couldn't help how her body stiffened at first, but found herself holding the other girl once she heard the fragility in her voice.

"It's more than okay," Lena whispered. "Sleep well. I'm right down the hall if you need anything."

With that Lena left the youth to her own devices. Arryn turned off the lights and crawled into bed. She curled into the bed's corner and laid the pillows on the other side of her so she felt less alone. She remembered her mother's last words before jumping into the time vortex, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Save her. Save us.
