Chapter 7 / Family Matters
The couple minutes it took for Alex to get Lillian and Lex were rough, me thinking about some stuff and Lena trying to comfort me. I don't know what is going on... but Lena... she is trying so hard to be the best for me, to help me fill my voids of knowledge. But I don't know what I am missing... but secretly I do... my mind is changing, memories are fading and new ones take their place.
I remove my eyes from the floor when I hear Lena stop talking, most of it was sweet nothingness, but I needed it. I focus on the new persons standing inside... Lex, Lillian and Alex, I never thought I would ever see that... but I do, it is normal here?
My thoughts get pushed to the back of my mind when Lillian speaks up "Good to see you awake Kara, are you okay?" I shake my head "Alright..." she sighs "Well, we are searching for Cadmus. So see if we can find that girl. I can't believe Jeremiah is still trying to kill you or harm you... why should an adoptive father do that... it is so inhuman."
"What do you mean?" I ask, Lillian looks to Lena with a look 'is it this bad?' and Lena just nods. She still sits beside me so I see most of it.
"You don't remember Jeremiah?" I shake my head and see that Alex and Lex already found a chair, they probably know that this will take long. Lillian is the last one to sit. I didn't know that there were so many chairs here, but they are. Have they all waited here for me to wake up?
"Jeremiah is your adoptive father, when you came to earth Kal-el or Clark brought you to the Danvers family. What they didn't know was that Jeremiah and Eliza were working with Lionel for Cadmus. So if you don't remember what happened before this then I won't tell the details but it was abusive for both you and your sister." My gaze falls from Lillian to Alex who is looking at the ground. I turn back when Lillian continuous "When you were 16 you and Lena somehow met. You two fell in love and got together within weeks. You were quite much with us so both me and Lex got to know you better. Back then I knew that my husband, Lionel, was up to something but we didn't know what. When you finally told Lena who you really was things changed. A couple weeks later you were gone with your sister. Your parents nowhere to be seen."
"After a couple days Lena was truly concerned. So she told Lex about who you truly are, and he told me. Lex knew about Cadmus but kept his mouth shut, he didn't want to do anything with it. But now he had to, maybe you were there. So he said yes to the proposal Lionel gave him years before. He found you and Alex. They were trying for you to use your powers for world dominance. But Lex got you out on time, both you and Alex were saved. But for you two to be saved we need to inform the FBI. There was a gunfight where both Lionel and Eliza died.
After that we took you two in. That was the least we could do." I slowly nod and take the information in. "But what we think would have happened, happened?" Lex suddenly says.
Lena sighs and says "Yes."
I don't really catch on but I have my suspicions. So I say "Could I please talk to Lena alone?" They all nod, expect Lena of course, and walk out.
"What do you want to talk about?" Lena says facing me. I slowly admit what "Love."
Lena raises her eyebrow "Love?"
"Yes love, I might not have things clear in my mind but I am truly drawn to you." It is truly like that, I want to kiss her and even inappropriate things. MY mind just searches for her and her only. Like nobody else is needed but her. "Drawn as in I might not remember you, or how we met, the day of the proposal or our wedding day but I know one thing for sure is that you won't lose me." The kiss that followed was passionate but with true hunger. Lena had probably waited ages for this. For Kara this all felt like normal... even though that shouldn't be but it does.
One kiss slowly turned into a full on make out. But they both knew they needed to stop, air was needed. So they stopped head resting against each other gasping for oxygen.
I silently say "I am sorry for not remembering you like I used to do." Lena takes a moment to realise this and pulls back. "Kara, this can happen. We are married we take care for each other. Don't blame yourself. This is just a slight inconvenience."
I nod but don't say something back, it is my fault... how can't I remember a perfect life like this, it isn't truly perfect but like Lena said I should just see it as a slight inconvenience.
"How did we meet?"
Lena smiles "Ah, that is quite the story. We met at a science fair. Alexandra dragged you there, we were both looking at some sort of gravity shift machine. I don't really know if it was really that but still." I chuckle a little "A bit before I say you walking, you were breath taking, absolutely stunning. And there we were next to each other, I was too scared to talk and that means a lot I normally have the guts to speak. Luckily you started talking, I immediately knew I needed to keep you with me for a very long time. So I did the best thing possible, I asked if you wanted to ditch this place and go with me on a date. You said yes, it was truly fun because after going to some sort of fancy restaurant we went bowling. You made a dent in the floor, which I paid for.
But you forgot to mention to Alexandra that you were gone. They almost reported you missing. I luckily got your number before you had to race back to where the car was to take you home. That evening I called you, you were quite upset because your parents did something, you never told me what. But we truly started to talk, I asked if you wanted to come to me the day after. You almost yelled yes, I knew that moment you were feeling the same. Wanting the other even if you didn't know them. But in my mind it felt like I had known you for ages." She smiles because she sees the memory just replay in her mind.
"You said something about bailing me out that you couldn't leave, but you did. You left that Sunday with me. It was a new chapter, because when I was waiting with the car outside from your house you ran up to me and hugged me. You had some marks on your arm, I now know why, they used kryptonite on you and then abused you but that doesn't matter. I made my day as you made mine. That night you stayed to sleep with me, I only lived about 2 hours away from your home. It felt like I needed to keep you with me, safe. That night we shared our first kiss while lying down in bed. I never had a relationship go that fast, heck I didn't even had a relationship that went to that level before."
"But we got together a couple weeks later, you probably were more with me than you were home. Me being in college made it easy for having you around. I just couldn't get you back home if you would be safe with me. I had my suspicions about what happened at your home but you never talked about it." She sighs
"There is so much more to talk about, but know this Kara Luthor the Danvers family has no hold on you or Alexandra anymore. You are both Luthors now, married or just adopted. You are family."
