Paul: "About time and don't worry guys, ill make sure that she does"

Me: "Gah! Paul! Wha-Wait. Have you been here this whole time waiting?"

Paul: "Pretty much"

Me: "Oh geez. Sorry dude"

Paul: "It's cool. Let's just get to the story"

Me: "Alright then but let me explain something to yall real quick. In my story, Karlena refers to Kara as Ma and Lena as Mom. Just thought I let you guys know. Anyways, here's Chapter 2!"

Chapter 2: The Danvers Cousins

Luthor Danvers Residence 6:00 PM

Karlena knew she was it for it now. If she didn't know it from the minute Supergirl flew her back with an dissatisfied look and drop her back home saying "We'll talk about this later" before taking off, she really knew it the minute when her mother, the Great Lena Luthor, was standing in front of her, wearing her casual blue blazer along with blue stilettos to accompany it. They were also a gift from Kara as an apology from many years back, which Karlena finds very impressive, to say the least. However, she can tell that this wasn't the time to acknowledge her mother's heels as her mom was staring at her with her sharp gaze, which sends literally chills down her spine. She finds it pretty funny though. Her Ma is Supergirl, one of the most powerful beings in the world yet she was more afraid of her mom, Lena Luthor. But at least she's not alone, her Ma is equally afraid of her too. Her thoughts were broken when she hears an exasperated sigh. "I heard from Supergirl that you pulled another reckless stunt. Really Karlena? How many times do we have to argue with you about this?"

"A lot of times" Karlena stated, matter of factly.

"A lot of times," Lena repeated just as Karlena crosses her arms over her chest. "Honestly, Karlena you really need to get your act together. You have to understand that your actions will have consequences and trust me when I say this because I had my share of them and so did your Ma. You need to do better!"

Karlena rolls her eyes with a scoff. "Yeah but you know what mom? This will be more effective if you were really here"

Karlena then walks through the hologram to the couch. However, the hologram Lena seems to be unfazed by it. The hologram just continues to finish her programming with a sigh. "When I get home, your ma and I will sit you down so we can talk. You're not a kid anymore Karlena, its time you stop acting like one."

Karlena watches as her hologram mom vanished as she props her upper half on the couch with a scoff. "Wow. That's rich, mom. Well, jokes on you, Ma and you will never have the time to talk with me anyway." She then turns herself around as she let herself slide down on the couch. She then stares up at the ceiling as she drapes an arm over her face.

"And it's not like I care or anything" Silence fell all throughout the empty household of the Luthor-Danvers Residence as Karlena lay quietly on the couch.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Not wanting to get up, Karlena uses her x-ray vision to see through the couch and straight at the door to see who it is. It was none other than Elizabeth, who are holding two white paper bags in one hand. "Its open Liz" Karlena muttered and almost instantly, Liz comes right inside with a bright smile on her face as she spun around with the bags in her hands. "Man, you won't believe what I just found Kar-" She stops instantly in her tracks as she just took in the state her cousin was in. Her smiles fade as she instinctively drops into a concerned look. "How are you feeling Superkid?" She asked as she puts down the two white bags on the table. Karlena slightly chuckles at that. Superkid is the nickname that Liz only use since she found out Karlena haves superpowers 6 months ago. At this point, she only has super hearing, x-ray vision, and super strength so she's far from being anything like her ma. That's if she even cared to notice. Karlena muttered "Not Super that's for sure"

Liz raised an eyebrow out of concern. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" She grumbled back. Liz shakes her head. "Well if its nothing," Liz started as she took off her backpack as she walks to the couch to sit down. "I brought over potstickers to eat and I found my mom and Aunt Kara's collection of old Homeland videos so we can make fun of them" She then pulls her backpack close to her and opens it up to show the DVDs. "I can't believe that they collected all of this?!"

"Thanks but I'm not in the mood," Karlena said in a half-muffled voice.

"Let me guess. You got chewed out by your mom for pulling that ridiculous stunt?" Liz stated matter of factly. It was one of the reasons why she came over to check on her. She knew what her cousin did was completely crazy but at the same time, she knows why she did it. Karlena sits up on the couch with a grunt. "Try hologram mom chewing me out"

Liz's eyes widen at that response as she turns to face Karlena. "Ouch. She used Uncle Brainy's hologram?"

Karlena let out a dry laugh as she throws her arms up in the air, letting them fall limply onto her lap. "Can you believe it? She didn't even have the audacity to come and yell at me like a normal parent"

In her defense, our family is far from normal" Liz joked, attempting to lighten up the mood. However, Karlena just glares at her as she allowed herself to fall back against the couch. "You know what I mean, Liz"

Liz gives her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "I know" Karlena inhaled as she looked away from Liz as she exhaled.

All I want is to spend time with them is all." Karlena confessed. "I literally can't remember the day when we actually got to have a day to ourselves. Just my mothers and I, but it's like every time I turn around, their attention is brought right back to the City and its not like I hate the city, I love it. I really do! However, I just feel that the city just keep taking my parents away from me and I'm afraid that if this keeps up, I might lose them for good. One way or another…." Karlena fell silent once those words left her mouth. She then turns away from her cousin with an awkward head rub, feeling slightly ashamed that she even feels this way. She then slightly jump when she felt Liz's hand on her shoulder, she felt her hand trying to turn her around so she decided to save her the trouble and turn around. When she did, she saw Liz with soft eyes, which only she shows occasionally. She then shifts herself and Karlena on the couch so she's able to place her hands on her shoulders and said "Well, that's not true. You won't lose them. And if that's the case, you will still have me. You are stuck with me no matter what. You got that?"

"Yeah...I know…." Karlena said disbelievingly with her head down.

Liz looked at her little cousin as her eyes grew sympathetic. She's used to Karlena being like this, unfortunately. Many people will think since your parents are the city's greatest heroes, you will have pretty much an easy life, but it's not like that at all. She does still suffer from prosecutions on campus and the streets because of the Luthor name and she does face anti-aliens as well because of Aunt Kara being Supergirl and her being as the reporter Kara Danvers. And on top of that, the only thing Karlena wanted was to be with them. She sees how Karlena gets when she sees her with her parents and at times, she can't help but feel bad for the teen, especially since she discovered her powers 6 months ago and none of her parents have any clue about it.

Hey." Karlena looks up with sadden eyes. Liz gives her a sympathetic smile. She then holds out her fist to her. "Danvers Cousins?" A small smile grew on Karlena's face as she holds out her fist "Danvers Cousins". They then bump their fist together and break it off into their signature handshake, which consists of two high fives, one elbow touch, a spin around, and finishing off with a headbutt. The Danvers cousins groan in pain as they both respectively held their heads. "Remind me again why we included that into our signature handshake?" Liz asked with a slight grunt in her voice. "Because we were dumb kids" Karlena responded with a slight wince that lace in her voice.

"Fair enough but we really need to come up with something else unless I want to end up with a severe head trauma because of your hard head"

"Oh shut up! You have a hard head too!"

"I thought Kryptonians can't feel pain, especially from a human head?"

"I'm half Kryptonian! But it does explain why half of my head hurts! Curse my half human side!" Karlena said as she shakes her fist into the air, dramatically.

The two couldn't help but laugh at how stupid they are sounding right now. But that's just one of the perks of being a Danvers. Suddenly, a buzzing noise was heard. Karlena watches as Liz pulls out her phone and answered with "Danvers?" As much as Karlena wanted to use her super hearing to hear who Liz was talking to, she learns its best to stay out when it comes to her work and she knows that clearly whenever Liz answers the phone by saying, Danvers. "Alright I'll be there," Liz said as she hangs up. "Oh crap" She exhales as she pinches the bridge of her nose. Feeling a bit alarm, Karlena asked: "What's up?"

Seeing the slight panic on her cousin's face, Liz "Nothing to worry about little cuz, I just need to do my rounds at the DEO since mom's away at a conference. No biggie"

"Oh….okay. You better get going then" Karlena then sits back down on the couch. Liz looks at her for a moment then at her phone then back at her.

"Hey, what if you come with me?"

Karlena's head shot up when she said that. Liz never invited her to the DEO before so this is shocking news to her. "What? Are you serious Liz? You think its a good idea for me to come?"

"Yeah, you're right. You will be a terrible plus one" Liz said with a smile.

"Hey!" Karlena loudly said, putting a hand on her chest, acting as if she was offended. Liz chuckles as she punches Karlena in the arm "I'm just messing with you Kar"

"Jerk," Karlena says with a smirk as she punches Liz lightly back in the arm, mindful of her super strength so she doesn't completely shatter her arm.

"Alright, let's go," Liz said as she offered her hand out. Karlena held her hand out so Liz can pull her up. The two then head out the door.

Just as they left out the main doors of the Luthor Danvers Residence, Karlena watches as Liz lets go of her hand and runs over to her motorcycle.

"Wait. We are taking your motorcycle?" Karlena pointed out.

"Well unless you have super speed or flight, this is how we are gonna get there. Is there a problem you have with my baby?" Liz said mockingly. Karlena throws her hands up frantically as she sputters out "N-No it's not that, it's just" she nervously twirls her finger in her hair, which made Liz laugh out loud. This was one of Karlena's weird traits when it comes to her being nervous. That and literally her scarfing down an entire platter of Potstickers, which makes her so jealous of her Kryptonian side. "Just what?" Liz questioned as she cocked her head to the side, clearly encouraging Karlena to finish what she was going to say. Karlena looks back at her with a guilty look. "I thought we will take the hoverboard"

Liz scoffs loudly in disbelief "Seriously? After what you just did? I don't think so"

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad"

"Just get on"

"Alright" Karlena sighed as she got on the motorcycle. Making sure that they were all set, they then take off to the DEO.

Me: "There we go! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! And the next one should be posted by Wednesday"

Paul: "Yeah. We will see"

Me: "Shut up Paul"
