*** Lena's narrative (voice-over) ***
Challenges, I've never run away from a challenge. Obstacles do not block my path, and, nothing will block my path towards her... no one, not even her mother...
(At the DEO)
Alex steps back, she reaches out a gun she has hidden in her desk, and, gives it to Lena.
Lena frowns. - "You're giving a gun, to a 'Luthor'?"
Alex. - "We don't know what you'll face out there. Maybe Kara's not able to help, so..."
The CEO exhales deeply. If Kara wasn't able to communicate or coming back, it's for a reason. She can't. And, if the girl of steel can't make it home...
Lena takes the gun, and, says. - "I'll bring her home..."
Alex. - "I know you'll..."
Lena looks at the gun that's between her hands, and, says with a vulnerable voice. - "I'm scared..."
Alex. - "I can go with you if you want, I..."
Lena. - "I don't know if I'll be able to convince Kara's mother that I'm good enough for her, that I..."
Alex shakes Lena by the shoulders, so strongly, that the gun drops off, from Lena' shaking hands...
Lena frowns. - "Alex?!"
Alex stares at her in the eyes, and, says. - "Just stop it, okay! You need to stop with this act 'I'm not good enough', 'I'm a Luthor'..."
Lena. - "But, I'm a Luthor..."
Alex. - "And, Kara's a Luthor too, when she decided to take your last name. And, your kids are also Luthors. And, they are not bad, they are good, your family is too good for this world, so, stop it. Someone evil, someone bad doesn't get a family like the one you've, so, stop looking down to yourself, okay?"
Lena nods. - "Yes, you're right..."
Both woman smile to each other, giving them courage to face anything when a hologram appears in front of them. Lena & Alex turn their head towards the hologram, and, gasps in surprise
Alex. - "Kara?!"
Lena smiles. - "Darling..."
The hologram of Kara smiles too when she sees Lena, but, then she whispers. - "Look, I don't have a lot of time..."
The blonde hero seems worried, maybe even a little scared, and, if there's something that Lena can't tolerate is to see Kara frightened...
Lena says with concern. - "You look frightened... Why? By whom?" (She angrily says) "Give me the name of those who dare to make you feel like that..."
Alex. - "And, where was that attitude just a few moments ago?"
Lena rolls her eyes...
Kara. - "Lee, I'm okay. Well, not okay at all 'cause mom doesn't let me go home, and, I've no powers here..."
Alex. - "What do you mean you don't have powers?"
Kara. - "Here, in Argo, I'm just like any human. I'm..."
Lena. - "Powerless..."
The hologram of the blonde hero nods, and, Lena takes a deep breath. Kara powerless is worse than kriptonite for Lena, it means that her dear blonde is more vulnerable than ever, and, that's scary, really scary, especially because...
Kara. - "Reign is still alive..."
Alex & Lena say at the unison. - "What?!"
Kara. - "Listen to me, I am using cache crystals on Argo City to reach you, but, I don't know how long we have of communication before someone realizes what I'm doing..."
Lena says with concern. - "Darling, do not put yourself in danger... that's it! I'm coming for you..."
Alex takes her guns, and, says. - "Oh, no, WE are coming..."
Kara. - "Guys, guys, please stop, okay! I need you to stay there..."
Lena pleads. - "But, darling..."
Kara. - "Lee, please. I need you in Earth, right now, it's an emergency. It turns out the Harun-El we used to kill Reign and save Sam split them apart. But Reign is only dormant, not gone. The Dark Kryptonian witches want to resurrect her and use her to terraform the Earth, turning it into a new Krypton..."
The CEO sighs deeply, there's nothing that she wants more than rescue her dear wife, but, when Kara asks her help for something, she can't say 'no' to this blonde...
Lena. - "Okay, darling. Tell me what you need me to do..."
Kara. - "Father had a transmat portal, I need you to make it work, and then..."
*** Kara's narrative (voice-over) ***
All we can do is do our best. Most of the time we don't know if we will success in our conquest. But, even if the possibility of winning seems zero. We need to keep fighting, we need to keep trying, because after all, this is our world... this is my world...
(At the DEO)
John. - "Great work, Alex. You didn't just stop the plans of those dark kryptonian witches, but, you've also been capable to destroy Reign, once and for all..."
Alex. - "Well, thank you. But... this was a team effort..." (She looks behind her, and, smiles) "I couldn't have done it without them..."
Lena smiles, being recognized is something she's still not used to it. Kara's plan worked, it wasn't easy, but, they made it work, and now...
Kara hugs Lena and, says while she snuggles into her. - "I'm so lucky to have you, Lee..."
Lena blushes, she chuckles, she hugs the blonde too, and, says with a big smile. - "I'm the one, who's lucky, darling..."
The couple was hugging each other with so much affection, that it was hard to separate them, but when someone clears her throat, they break the hug when...
Alura clears her throat. - "Ah..."
Kara pouts. - "I'm with Lena..." (She glues herself to Lena, and, says) "And, you can't separate us..."
Lena protectively hugs Kara, and, she looks at the Kriptonian mother in the eyes, Kara wasn't going to go anywhere, and, she was ready to fight against anything, anyone who would dare to try to separate them, but...
Alura. - "I'm sorry..."
Lena frowns. - "What?"
Alura. - "I was wrong. I was blinded by my fears, my regrets. I projected them in Kara and you, and, after everything that happened. I see that the witches were using my fears to cause troubles in Earth..." (She looks at Lena in the eyes) "I was wrong, so, I'm sorry..." (She stretches her hand, and, says) "Please, accept my apologies..."
Kara looks at, Lena, and, says. - "Lee, you don't have to if you don't feel like..."
Lena hugs Kara, and, says. - "It's okay, darling. You're here with me. And, that's all I need..."
Kara smiles, she leans over Lena's chest when the CEO shakes hands with Alura...
Alura. - "Thank you for accepting my apologies..."
Lena nods. - "Sure..."
Alura. - "And, maybe this is too much for me to ask. But, would the two of you considerate to come to Argo..."
Kara & Lena. - "What?"
Alura looks at Kara in the eyes, and, says. - "I understand that this planet is your home. But, Argo is yours too. I would love to show to your family where you come from..."
Kara mumbles. - "I would like that too, but..."
Lena. - "I can spare a few days off for a family trip..."
Kara smiles. - "Really?!"
The idea of showing Lena where she lived, it makes her sparkle, like a Xmas tree, and, Lena chuckles, she finds extremely cute when Kara acts like a happy puppy...
Lena softly caresses Kara's cheek and, says. - "Show me your world, Kara..."
Kara smiles, she hugs Lena, and, just like that, the Luthor gets ready for a new adventure, but, they were not going to do it alone...
Alex. - "We're coming too..."
Lena & Kara. - "We?!"
Eliza emerges into the scene, and, says. - "Oh, yes!" (She looks at Alura and, says) "You & me, we need to talk. My Lena is more than enough for Kara..."
Alex frowns. - "My Lena...?"
Eliza. - "Lena is like a daughter to me..."
Lena smiles...
Eliza looks at Alura in the eyes, and, says. - "And, if you think that Lena is not worthy, oh. I don't care if you're a Queen or a God in your world. I dare you to say something bad about Lena in my face!"
Alura gulps hard...
Kara whispers to Lena. - "Mom is scary..."
Lena chuckles. - "Yeah..."
No one can say anything bad about Lena in front of Eliza, and that's why...
Alura shakes Eliza's hand, and, says. - "Thank you..."
Eliza frowns. - "Huh?"
Alura. - "I can see why Kara is the person she's. It's thank to you. I've no words to express my gratitude for taking care and protect Kara..." (She looks at the CEO, and, says) "And, Lena..."
Eliza. - "Well, yeah... they are my kids..."
Both women start to talk, Alura has all the intentions to make amends with everyone. And, when Lena sees that, she realizes that everyone deserves a second chance... anyone... even...
(In prison)
A guard. - "Luthor! You've visitors!"
Lillian. - "I've never visitors..."
A guard. - "Well, you've now..." (He bites a piece of cake, and, says) "And, they brought cake... it's good..."
No one would considerate bring a cake to a Luthor, except...
Lena. - "It has chocolate and..."
Lillian looks at the frosting of the cake, and, says. - "And, a smile... a frosty smile?"
Lena sighs. - "Kara & the kids did the decoration of the cake..."
Lillian sits in front of Lena, and, says. - "Oh... I see..."
The old woman knows that Lena has kids, she knows about their existence, but, she never thought that she would receive something from them, especially a chocolate cake with a frosting smile...
Lena. - "You don't have to eat it, if you don't want to..."
Lillian. - "I never say that I didn't want it, I just..." (She stares at the happy smile of the cake, and, says) "I'm not used to 'smiling things'..."
Lena. - "I know the feeling. Colorful & happy things are not our things, but..."
But, the Luthor last name is now full of color & joy thanks to 3 kids...
Kara. - "Clarke! Do not run! We were supposed to wait for your mom sign!"
They get interrupted when a little blonde rushes towards their table. The little blonde doesn't put attention on Kara's words because she couldn't wait to know her other...
Clarke smiles. - "Grandma!"
Lillian. - "You visited me with your family?"
Lena gulps hard, she has second thoughts about this. And, she gets really tense when she sees how little Clarke sits besides Lillian, and, shows her a drawing she made. Lillian doesn't like aliens, she's cruel, she could crush Clarke expectations, and, be cruel to her, but...
Clarke points out at the drawing, and, says. - "Look, this is me... this is Alec... this is Izzy... and, this is you..." (She looks at Lillian with a happy smile, and, says) "We're all happy..."
Lillian stares at the drawing in an awkward silence for a moment, and, Lena was waiting for a cruel comment about it, but...
Lillian. - "It's not bad..."
Lena frowns. - "What?"
Lillian takes the piece of paper between her hands, and, says. - "It's not the Mona Lisa, but... it's not bad..."
Not bad, it was enough for making Clarke smile, even more. Without asking permission, she wraps her little arms around Lillian's waist, hugging the older woman...
Clarke. - "Love you, Grandma Lillian..."
Lillian looks away, she doesn't push her away, but, she looks away trying to hide the tears that try to roll over her cheeks. Affection is not something that Luthors are used to. So, Clarke's affection, it really takes her off guard. Lillian wasn't prepared for this, and, she was also not ready for...
Alec smiles. - "Hug!"
Izzy stretches her arms. - "Hug, hug, hug!"
Before knowing it, Lillian has 3 little kids hugging her...
Kara. - "Sorry, I can take them away, if you want Lillian.."
Lillian. - "It's okay..." (She clears her tears before they fall, and, says) "They are stronger than me, so, there's no use to put resistance..."
Lena. - "Sure, let's pretend that you don't like the hug..."
Lillian & Lena exchange challenging looks, and, Kara clears her throat, trying to smooth the air...
Kara sits beside Lena, and, says. - "So, who wants cake...?"
(In a cell, after the visit)
A guard. - "Decorating your cell, Luthor...? The drawings are ugly..."
Lillian. - "Shut up. I don't expect that an ignorant as you, it could appreciate this piece of art..."
The guard rolls his eyes, and, keeps walking. Leaving, Lillian alone. The older Luthor, she just glues to her wall, the drawings that the kids brought her. And, for the 1st time since she's in that place, she smiles while she stares at the drawings...
*** Lena's narrative (voice-over) ***
Bad or good. This world is full of color, even when we're not capable to see it at 1st. There's always a way to bring color to our world. Even, if the future seems to be darker than what we thought...
(At Argo)
Alex. - "Lexa, do not jump over the furniture, if you break something. I don't know if I'll be able to pay it..."
Sam. - "If you can't. I can..."
Alex smirks. - "Oh, right, because a CFO has a better salary than a DEO agent...?"
Sam chuckles...
Ruby. - "This is so cool! Is there a pool?"
Kara. - "Yes! Follow me!"
The blonde starts running, and, all the kids run after her...
Lena. - "Kids! Do not run! You can fall!"
Alura. - "It's okay. They will not get hurt. I promise..."
The CEO takes a deep breath, and, nods. Trusting is not her stronger point, but, she will try to trust in this woman, but...
Lena. - "Alura..."
Alura. - "Yes?"
Lena. - "About the visions..."
Alura. - "Oh, that... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have trusted on those witches, I..."
Lena. - "I'm curious to know what were the visions that they show you, that put you against me..."
Alura. - "They were probably lying about it... after all the bad they did. We can't trust in what they said..."
Lena. - "Even then... tell me..."
Alura. - "Very well. They showed me Doomsday..."
Lena frowns. - "Doomsday?"
Alura. - "A deadly monster genetically-engineered by..."
Lena. - "Me?"
Alura. - "Like I said. The witches had a secret agenda. We can't trust on their prophecies..."
Lena. - "Uhmmm..."
Alura. - "I don't see a word where you could create this evil..."
Lena nods, she also wants to believe that she would never be able to create something that could create so much destruction as Doomsday. But, that's the thing about the human race. Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions...
(A few days later, at Lena's lab)
Yess. - "Ms. Luthor, did you spend nice holidays...?"
Lena. - "Yeah. But, being in Argo, I realized something very important..."
Yess. - "And, what is that?"
Lena shows up a black rock and, says. - "That we can do so much good with this..." (She smiles) "I can do so much with this..."
*** Lena's narrative (voice-over) ***
Yes, Good intentions, the worst things in this world are done with good intentions... and, I was far to realize what would bring to my world, my good intentions...
