Chapter 28 / Confrontation
A/N WARNING SUICIDAL THOUGHTS/ATTEMPT.
This day was just like any other day. Work, work, work and some SG stuff. That evening was also relaxed. Some patrolling and taking care of my pregnant lady. But later, almost around 11 PM I get called from the D.K.A. Some intruder.
I race through the sky towards the main building of the D.K.A., it still sounds strange Department of Kryptonian Assistance. Just like my suit... I have two different ones. One is the standard Supergirl costume with the House of El logo mixed with that one of L-Corp. Or better said the Luthor logo. And some techno logic suit with helmet. Since all that stuff happened Lena said I needed to wear the cool techno suit.
Probably because she can monitor me better, but it fits quite good. So I can't complain. I land on the balcony and walk inside. The room is filled with people with guns all of them pointing towards one guy in the middle. The guy turns aro... Rao... that is Jeremiah. I look at him confused but remember that he is a part of Cadmus... so I ask "Good day Jeremiah, what can we do for you?"
He chuckles "You, Supergirl can't do anything. No, no. I am searching for my daughter." I smile but it never reaches my eyes "Alexandra Luthor... Lovely name isn't it? Since your family did so much wrong to her she was adopted. So she might be your family by blood but you aren't anything else." He looks at me and nods "I see your wife has changed you. Learning how to become cold and hard. But still too shy to let the world see your face." I push the button so the helmet is removed "No, my wife is concerned. And I am smart to listen to her, you apparently thought of her as another pawn in this monstrous game." He looks mad, no furious at me and says "YOU DON'T SPEAK OF MY WIFE LIKE THAT!" I chuckle darkly... I don't know where this all came from but... it happened. "I would take a bullet for my wife. Even if I didn't had powers, you know what that is? Love. Do I need to spell it? Ah, yes I do. L.O.V.E. There you have it, a new word. I think you are just some coward who thinks aliens are bad. Are monsters, but if you looked just once in the mirror then you can see two things. One, you look awful. Two, you are the monster here." I am right... he looks awful... but my memories? Are they coming back?
I hear chuckling around me from the agents. Being a Luthor did change me... Or it is the CEO part? He looks at me with this rage in his eyes while I say "Escort this guy to his cell. I don't want to see him anymore. Be prepared for an attack." And with that I fly home where Lena is waiting for me in our room with a tablet in her hands. Still laughing a bit, I walk over to her once landed and kiss her. She just says "Great job honey, great job. The perfect comeback." I sit next to her on the bed and 'remove' my suit. "Yea... I didn't like it one bit. We both know he had kryptonite with him, right?" Lena looks at me and nods "Yes I did, your suit read it. But you punched him in his face with words. That is way better." I groan since it was the second time today that I was close by kryptonite. This suit might make it a bit better but I am still not the same. Always too much kryptonite around me. "You okay, honey?" I look at my pregnant lady and ask "Is it worth it to be in pain to safe people? Is all of this worth it? Seeing the hate in people's eyes because of Kal?" Lena looks surprised and pats the spot next to her. I lie in her arms when says "Kara, Kal didn't have a heart of gold like you do. I know when you stop about two hours later you can't take it anymore. You can't see people in pain. So it is worth it. You do the impossible, you save people. You give people second chances. Let them live. You are the word hope. You probably won't remember this but a couple years ago you did something special." She sighs and says
WARNING!
"It was December 31th, a little boy around 13 whom was always bullied didn't like his life anymore. His parents were invited to an L-corp New Years ball. It was on top of a big building. That boy... he- he stood on the ledge when you saw him. You rushed forwards and hold him. Told him it was okay to cry so he did. You held him as Kara Luthor for hours. You talked, laughed and cried with him. You held him close every minute of that evening. His parents didn't even know this happened. Until late that night, around 2 AM they found you with him in your arms. He was fast asleep. You held that boy for 4 hours. You did things most people couldn't, you saw something and you helped. You talked and made him feel better. A couple weeks later you met him again, he was being bullied again. But you helped. For a week you came with him to his school and helped him." Lena smiles brightly
"You still have contact with him. You help him whenever he needs help. You are his guardian. Both as Kara and Supergirl."
Warning over
I nod and chuckle a wet chuckle. "You are right... things like that make it worth it. Helping when needed is good. It makes humanity stronger. Not weaker since they don't have anybody. No they slowly change... evolve. See how it is done. They become a beacon of hope since only one alien needs to shine... You are absolutely right. Why did I even worry in the first place?"
Lena chuckles "Honey, I can't remember" and finally winks.
