Chapter 15

The spectacle that was revealed before the eyes of the two women was chaotic, on both sides of the room everything had been destroyed. Broken glasses, filing cabinets, pieces of burnt paper lined the floor. Several hard drives had been ransacked. Offices, shelves littered by land as if swept by a tornado. A smell of bleach persisted in the air, which had probably been intended to erase other evidence. Kara, while inspecting the premises, discovered garbage cans containing ashes of papers.

-What happened?" Asked Lena puzzled

-Can you be more specific? answered his voice

-Who did this? She screamed

-Lilian Luthor discovered this hiding place three years ago. Your father had designed it specifically for you knowing that you would discover it one day or another, so he had kept all the most precious memories of you and your mother. He had gathered photos, videos, newspapers...

As she walked through the play Lena could not hold back the tears that were rising in her eyes, inconsolable she sought comfort in Kara's arms.

-What a bitch! She said the trembling voice

-Wait, darling. reflects Kara

-I'm sure your father must have anticipated this possibility that Lilian would discover this place and I'm sure he was as smart as you that he had to leave something," Tron asks.

-Youhave nothing to lose," she said tenderly.

-Tron, did my father leave me anything?

-Yes he answered lapidary and went on.

-What is the beginning of your favorite nursery rhyme?

Lena looked at Kara with a broad smile, a few tears rolling down the corner of her lips. She took a moment to regain her spirits and recited:

Night bird on your branch

Flight, flight join the white moon

You'll find the heat

With all the love of my heart

To these words appeared in the wall a new screen where it was written: Lena Luthor Weiss. She put her hand there and a cavity was revealed. Inside, there were 3 notebooks and a USB key.

-My program ends, Farewell... pronounced Tron in a metallic growl.

Moved and feverish Lena grabbed the key and newspapers, pressed them hard against her and walked into Kara's arms, so she was finally able to let herself go completely, crying on her shoulder.

Kara did his best to comfort her, who was also still reeling from what had just happened. They took over the management of the show and Lena searched in vain, nervously, for a computer or a TV that could read the key. Kara then had an idea.

-Honey, I can fly to your apartment and take your imac proposed Supergirl

-Yes my love, I dare dared not ask you.

-I'm going!

During Kara's absence, Lena was reconsidering the film of events. Imagining his mother and father collecting objects for him. Their secret that they had to protect. Imagining the betrayal that Lilian must have felt, her anger and revenge that have been expressed for years against her. It was a emotional lift for Lena that she lived between sadness, confusion, anger, joy, relief... to finally have some concrete elements of his parents and especially to know the name of his mother: Rachel Weiss. This was probably too much for Lena's brain, for a great weariness ran through her whole body and she could not resist when her eyes closed and she collapsed on the sofa.
