"Are you scared now, cur?" Lex asked.

The older sibling was straddling his sister's chest, arm crushing her throat. Lena closed her eyes, not wanting to look into Lex's crazed glare. She tried to measure the time that had passed, the time Lex had spent beating her. Thinking about how long ago it was when she called DEO. Where were they?

"I said are you scared?!" He asked punching her in the chest.

"No." She gasped.

Lex got up, walking away from his sister and sighed grabbing the syringe. "Maybe this will."

"Lex, stop please." She pleaded quietly, watching him creep closer with the deadly drug. "Stop, think about what you're doing."

"I know what I'm doing, Lena. You're the one who sacrificed your friends." He said tying her wrists together. He put a tourniquet on her arm and flicked the bubbles to the top, pressing out the air. "That'll do it." He began, pressing the metal tip into her arm.

Lena winced, tears finally falling down her face. She heard the doors open, light flooding in quickly as three figures filed into the room. A box slid across the ground. Lena pressed the large green button with her heel and the box came to life. She kicked Lex away with her other leg and tried to sit up. She watched Superman rush at Lex, pushing him through the fence and to the cement wall far behind. Kara rushed after her cousin leaving the last form running toward Lena. Alex's features became visible through the cheap lights, her face contorted in horror and fear as she carefully pulled out the syringe. Lena didn't really understand what was happening, she just felt Alex holding her tightly, cutting the rope that held her hands together. The young Luthor didn't realize she was still crying until her girlfriend wiped tears from her eyes

"You're 're safe." Alex comforted, her voice faint but understandable to the young Luthor. Alex took quick and shaky breaths a she felt Lena's body shake in fear.

"I'm sorry?" Lena whispered.

"What was that, sweetie?" She asked looking down.

I'm sorry, so sorry. I should have told you."

"You were so brave. Stupid, but brave. I've never seen Lex so scared before."

"I couldn't outsmart him."

"But you did. He didn't see us coming. I just wish we came sooner."

"You're here, that's all I care about."

Alex nodded and kissed her forehead, pulling the back of her head to her shoulder. "I love you, Lena."

"See, I thought about it and if we wove these fiber into the suit, it should still be strong enough to deflect any kryptonite near their body." Lena suggested. Alex sat next to her, handing the inventor a cup of tea. "Thank you."

"No problem. What if… hmm… Oh, yeah. I see now. Will it cover their entire body?"

"It should. If we use the same recipe, then it'll cover about two meters around them and block out anything outside of it."

"Good." Alex said looking at the design. "I'll give it to Winn tomorrow. It's late, let's go to bed."

"Okay." Lena answered, quickly finishing her drink and setting it in the sink. "Alex?"

"Yeah?" She asked washing out her cup.

"Can I talk with you for a second?"

"Sure." She answered coming out of the bathroom.

Lena looked around her apartment, sitting back down on the modern couch. Alex joined her, resting against the cushioned arm of the couch. She reached over and took her hand.

"What's wrong, Lena?"

"I have to testify against Lex for another trial." Lena told Alex. "I don't want to relive that." She confided, tears welling up in her eyes. "I was so scared. I never thought he'd do something like that." Alex pulled the raven haired woman close to her chest. "I'm sorry that I got you roped into the Luthor drama."

"I don't care just as long as you're safe. If you need to, I can stay here tonight. I still have all of my stuff, and I can just wash it in the laundry room down in the basement."

"I don't want you to go anytime soon."

"Okay." She said looking down at Lena. "So, are you asking me to move in?"

"Yeah."

"Anything to keep you safe."
