Two long, gruelling days had passed, and Lena was still getting used to life without Kara being by her side. She sat in her office at L-Corp awaiting any news from the DEO.
There was nothing.
She sat filling out forms, spent hours lugging her way through meetings, not giving a damn and when the phone finally rang, the velvety voice on the other end made her want to collapse.
Lena held the phone close to her ear, gripping it tighter as the woman spoke.
"Lena...When I was...Regenerating...I heard you...All of you...It became clear that you are the very being that kept me hanging on...I felt those tears and believe me, they belong to me now...You made me cling on." Kara spoke softly, she then chuckled, "Sorry...It's a bit poetic."
Lena chuckled as a tear rolled down her cheek, "You have no idea how painful these last 48 hours have been."
"But I'm back...I should be out of here by nine...Want to come to my apartment?"
"I'll be there." The Luthor agreed, with a smile clear in her voice.
"Lena, I love you." Kara declared, and put the phone down before the Luthor could reply.
Lena grinned to herself and dialed a number into her keypad and waited for Jess to pick up, "Jess, you can take the rest of today off and clear my schedule."
"Are you sure, Miss Luthor?" The woman asked with a tinge of concern.
"Yes, now go before I change my mind." Lena chuckled before putting the phone down.
After she put the phone down, a shadow enveloped the once sunlight filled room.
Lena stared at the moving shadow from her chair and heard feet landing outside on her balcony.
She then heard the door slide open effortlessly.
Lena watched as the other woman stalked her way around to the front of the desk.
Lena's eyes met dark brown ones, "Reign." Lena said curtly and watched as a tight lipped grin lit up her face.
"Miss Luthor." She replied with a chuckle.
Without a moment to think, Reign had Lena pinned to the wall, leaving her not much room to breathe, "I have a job for you." She sneered.
"Kill Supergirl?" Lena said, through raspy breaths, hanging onto the woman's wrist.
"Clever girl." The othet woman smirked.
"Never." Lena sneered, "She is important to a lot of people, and I am not about to be the one to end her."
"I knew it wouldn't be easy with you." Reign sneered, before changing her mind, "I have a better idea. You hate her, from now on, she means nothing to you. You will break her heart."
"If I don't?" Lena chuckled, making the woman cling tighter to her neck.
The other woman tilted her head, with a sly smile, she replied, "I destroy your prescious children's hospital."
Lena went quiet, her eyes widening.
"Alex Danvers, I know you are in there and you can beat her." Lena gasped.
"Alex Danvers is dead. Reign remains!" Reign sneered, "So what will it be?"
"I'll do it." Lena gasped, "I'll turn, I will disown her. Whatever you want! Just leave the children alone."
"Thank you." Reign smirked, before dropping Lena, surely breaking her arm.
"I keep my promise...You keep yours." Reign sneered, "I'll be listening Miss Luthor. Don't let me down."
Lena held back tears as Reign flew off.
Breaking Kara's heart was the last thing she would ever think of doing.
