"Let me go you psycho!"

Lena jumped in fright. She sat upright in her bed. She definitely heard that. The voice was familiar. That was what scared her. This place was torture. A familiar voice was not welcome. It would only lead to more torture. It wasn't Kara's voice. It could have been Alex's. It was definitely someone she knew well enough. She climbed off of the shaky hospital bed she had been tied to for the first two days she'd been locked in the room. She slowly tiptoed toward the door and placed her ear close to hear more clearly. She heard footsteps along with loud grunting. The sound got louder until she was certain whoever was there was right outside. She heard the rattle of keys then a click as the door unlocked. She took a step back, ready to face whatever threat was there. The door opened letting a wave of fresh air into the room. Hank, Lillian's most trusted minion as Lena had learned, stood at the doorway with his iron hand around a girls neck. Lena's jaw dropped. It was Maggie.

"Maggie!" Lena yelled in surprise. When she saw the look of terror on her friends face she felt her anger grow immensely. "Let her go! You're hurting her!"

"Get back!" Hank yelled in surprise. As far as he knew, Lena was supposed to be tied to the bed. "Against the wall or I close my fist!"

Lena stumbled back quickly and leaned against the wall on the opposite side of the room.

"Let her go asshole!" She then yelled, trying to swallow her fear.

Hank seemed to roll his eyes as he threw Maggie into the room and slammed the door shut. Maggie's body hit the ground hard and rolled until she hit the wall and screamed out in pain.

"Maggie!" Lena cried out in fear. She ran to her friends side and looked her over. "Are you alright?"

Maggie winced as she tried to sit up. Her arms shook with weakness as she pushed herself off the floor. She managed to sit up and rest her back against the wall. "That hurt."

"Thanks Sherlock!"

Maggie rolled her eyes then looked into Lena's eyes and smiled. "I'm so glad that you are okay Lena! We have all been worried sick!"

Lena smiled back and wrapped her arms around Maggie. The hug only lasted a few seconds then Maggie was stumbling to her feet.

"You shouldn't move too fast. You're hurt. "

"Like hell I am!" Maggie protested as began walking toward the door. She wobbled slightly then tripped over nothing. Lena steadied her and led her over to the bed. Maggie sat and let out a loud sigh.

"This was not the way the mission was supposed to go. Alex is going to be so pissed at me, and your girlfriend is probably going to kick me into space."

"Mission? Why would Kara do that? Do you know about her, uh, secret? Wait, she told you guys that I'm her girlfriend?"

"My head hurts way too much to answer all those questions."

Lena sighed. "Let me clean that up for you."

Maggie raised an eyebrow.

"You have a nasty cut on your forehead and dried blood all down your face... You probably have a concussion."

"You're joking."

Lena shrugged and began digging in a cabinet near the bed.

"Yeah I know Kara's Kryptonian and yes she's totally in love with you, she didn't even need to tell us that. She's been looking for reasons to murder us the last few days because you're gone."

"I've been so worried about her," Lena admitted looking up from the medical supplies in front of her.

"You're the one who's been kidnapped."

Lena chuckled. "Besides the part where my mom is prepping me for a surgery that will change my life for the worst, this feels just like home."

"I wish I couldn't relate. My parents practically gave me to Lillian."

Lena stood up and neared Maggie. "They wouldn't be stupid enough to leave me in here with decent medical supplies but at least I can clean the wound and put a Band-Aid on it. Not that it's going to help much, you need stitches."

Maggie rolled her eyes. She should have taken note of who was with Lillian. She could never face Lillian's minions alone. She should have stayed with her team, it would have been safer.

"I'm sorry I got you into this," Lena apologized as she began cleaning the wound.

Maggie clenched her teeth waiting for the stinging pain to subside. When it did she poked Lena's arm. "We all care for you, Lena. We would do anything to help you. We didn't hesitate to get in on this mission."

"Who exactly is in on this so called mission of yours? It sounds like suicide to me."

"I think we're pretty well backed up..."

Lena raised her eyebrow as she placed the band aid over the wound.

"What is that supposed to mean? Kara does not have the same amount of experience as her cousin, she can't take on my mom and her people alone."

"I'm not referring to Kara."

Lena sat beside Maggie on the uncomfortable bed. "What do you mean then?"

Maggie sighed. Her head was pounding and she didn't feel so good. She leaned against the wall and looked at her friend. She did not want to be the person to tell Lena who her mother was, let alone that she was alive.

"Have you experienced anything unusual in your life?"

Lena chuckled. "You do know that you are talking to a Luthor?"

Maggie groaned. The room was spinning but there was no time for her to feel like this. "What I mean is, about yourself, something that shouldn't happen but does. Something extraordinary..."

"I wish I could say I hadn't. Nothing ever had... Until Saturday..."

"What? Um, what happened?"

"Well, uh, when everything went down and I shot Lillian, I ran back to the car and would have made an escape if I hadn't lost control of the car. I think someone shot the tires because I'm an excellent driver. I crashed and shattered my arm, the rest of my body was covered in cuts and bruises. The pain was unbearable, until it wasn't. I woke up the next day and it barely hurt at all. This morning it had completely disappeared. I didn't feel anything. Then without even trying I somehow got loose from these ties. I don't understand. I thought I was dreaming but I haven't woken up yet."

Maggie looked at the cuffs attached to the bed. They had been completely ripped. She looked at the alarm on Lena's face and offered a gentle smile.

"You're not dreaming, Lena. You are extraordinary."

"What are you not telling me?"

Maggie adjusted her position and lay down. "I don't want to be the one to tell you, Lena."

"I swear to God, Maggie if you don't-"

"Calm down, I'll tell you. Please, please stop yelling?"

Lena sat up straight and stared down at Maggie. "I'm waiting."

"How much do you remember about your mom?"

Lena stayed silent in thought for a minute before answering. "Very little. I was four when she died. I spent a few months in an orphanage before Lionel adopted me."

"What is it that you do remember?"

Lena raised an eyebrow, this seemed irrelevant to her but she answered anyway. "She had long dark hair and was extremely beautiful. I remember how warm I felt when she held me. That's all."

Maggie sighed and tried to sit up. "We need to get out of here."

"It's impossible. If there were a way I would have done it already. Now tell me what is going on!"

Maggie pressed her fingers into her temples in attempt to ease the pain. "Your mother was beautiful, you're right. A godly kind of beautiful."

"I know you pretend you're a bigger lesbian than I am, Maggie but joking about my dead mother is not appropriate right now. We are going to die in a few hours!"

Maggie laughed. "First of all I am a bigger lesbian! Secondly, I am not joking about her beauty, it is godly! And third..."

"Spit it out already, Maggie!" Lena yelled in frustration.

"She's not dead..." It came out as a whisper.

Lena swallowed hard at the news. "I swear, Maggie, if you are joking-"

"I am not, I promise."

"So my mother is?"

"Alive. Yes."

"Why? Why didn't she, why didn't she want me?"

Maggie held Lena's suddenly shaky hands and smiled at her. "She wanted you so much, Lee. She loves you intensely. Her reasons for leaving you are good. She wanted to keep you away from danger!"

"By leaving me in a house full of psychopaths?"

"She had no idea what Lex would grow up to become. She had no idea what Lillian was capable of either. As far as she knew the Luthor's were just self-obsessed rich people."

Lena stood up and began pacing. Tears threatened to escape her eyes. "So what is this reason that justifies her faking her death and leaving me in a horrible household?"

"She's a superhero." It hurt to push the words out. Maggie has never assumed she'd be the one to break the news to Lena. Any person in their group was better suited for this conversation, even with a worse concussion.

"You're joking!" Lena said as the first tears escaped. "Like Superman?"

"She is on the Justice League with him yes."

"So Wonder Woman? My mother is Wonder Woman? Princess Diana of Themyscira?"

Maggie nodded and watched her friend carefully. She wondered if she should get up and hug Lena or let her pace up and down the room processing it alone. After a few silent minutes Lena spoke.

"So that's why I've always been good at everything? Why I healed so fast? Why Cheetah is here? I am a demi-goddess."

"Cheetah is here!?" Maggie exclaimed jumping to her feet. "No. No. No! We did not plan for this!"

"I heard Lillian speaking to a woman whose name was Barbara, she said killing me would hurt Diana. It all makes sense now."

"We have to get out of here!" Maggie announced.

"I told you! We can't!"

Maggie faced Lena. She felt like throwing up and her head hurt more now that she had moved around. "Listen, Lena. I know the teams plan. Diana has been staking out this place for a while. We all know the blue prints. I am sure I can get us close to where they are coming for us. You just need to break down this door and help me fight our way out!"

Lena laughed. "You're insane. I might heal fast but I am not strong. I don't have her strength. Plus, even if I could break this door down you would not make it 100 feet from here without collapsing, assuming no Metta, Robot or even a guy with a gun comes at us.

"I might be a puny mortal, but I have determination, and everyone should already be on their way. Do you ever remember healing unnaturally fast before?"

"No..."

"That's because you have to mature into them. Your mother went through the same process. The only way she unlocked her powers was by fighting. You have to try."

"And what if it doesn't work. What if I get you killed?"

"I am going to die if I stay here anyway. I'll take my chances out there. I will not go out without a fight."

Lena sighed loudly. "Very determined."

Maggie laughed. Then winced at the sharp pain.

Lena breathed in deeply and let it out. She wanted to cry. She wanted to scream. She wanted to react to the news that her mother was alive and had abandoned her. She knew she couldn't. Just as her father had taught her. Always have a poker face.

She looked at the door in thought and with one swift motion she hit the lock. The bang of her hand against the metal sounded through the room. Maggie groaned and covered her ears.

Lena stared at the door in shock as it swung open slightly.

"I did it!" Lena said in excitement. She looked at her hands in shock. "I actually did it?"

"Yes! I knew you could do it Lee!" Maggie exclaimed while jumping up and down. The pain dampened by her excitement.

"Let's get out of here." Maggie exited the room and pulled Lena with her.

They had a bigger chance of survival now.

A/N- Whoops, I just remembered that Diana is a demi-goddess not a goddess. Oh well, she's so powerful Lena would have epic powers anyway.
