-Chapter 9-So this is normal-
-Kara pov-
"We have officially been granted freedom in Hawaii!" Lena lays down on the bed with a smile "We are getting our honeymoon in full now"
"Yeah" I slowly unpack our things "We finally are on honeymoon"
"Kara?" I do not respond and keep unpacking "Kara I know Brainy is still fresh in your mind"
"It was a few days ago but that is not all" I sigh and turn toward Lean "I have triplets now and have never met the one! Does she like me? Does she have memories I do not know? What even is her favorite toy? Brainy is on my mind but so is Drea"
"Drea Morgan loves you so much" Lena stands up and walks over to me "Her favorite you is a bear you got her, she has some years before memories stick, and we are spending our first normal day away together!"
"What do you mean?" She grabs my hand and starts dragging me away "Lena what are you doing?"
"We are having the time of our lives!" She leads me to the dining table and opens a box "These are the bracelets! Put one on! You do not need your powers!"
"But what if something happens?" Lena scoffs and pick up a bracelet "What?"
She shakes her head with tears "It will never be ok" She looks at me and I can see all of the sadness in her eyes "Will we ever be able to have a life? All your big bass are gone! Lex is dead, Livewire is in the league, Banshee is with Nia, the others are retiring, and the only thing left in the city with power is you! We proved it when you were able to do a honeymoon with me! You are not needed to be a hero!"
"What if something changes?!" She turns and walks to the door "Lena come back! You can not just walk away!"
"You either will join me at the beach or you are going back to the loft" Lena does not look back at me as the door opens "If you are not at the beach or here when I come back...we can work on visitation when we get back"
"You do not mean it Lena" She does not respond "Lena tell me you would not leave me...tell me you would not take the triplets with you and leave me!"
"I love you so much" I can hear the tears in her voice "But I can not compete with the superhero side that will not accept it is not needed anymore"
With that Lena walks out of the room. I feel a tear fall down and realize more are following it. I fall to my knees as tears fall down my face. I have no idea what to do.
I know what my heart says but my gut says something else. I do not want to lose Lena and my family. I also do not want to risk getting used to the normal and lose it. I get up and walk to the bedroom.
I have a choice that needs to be made.
-Alex pov-
"There is the elevator!" We all look to see Lena coming down sad and alone "Where is Kara?"
"Everything could go wrong" Lena shakes her head "I gave the ultimatum you told me to"
"It's all you can do" I put a hand on her shoulder and give a sad smile "Let's go spend time at the beach!"
"Beach time!" We all cringe at banshees yell and she covers her mouth "Sorry I have to work on that still"
"You are fine" I smile and point to the main doors "Let's go!"
-Time skip-
"Hey should we worry about that?" I look at Kelly confused "Look over at Linda and Lena"
"What?" I turn and I feel some anger build "She is getting a little too touchy feely and she has been trying to be with the trips whenever she can"
"We have no proof she wants lena" I watch her squeeze Lena's ass and stand up "Alright I am going to kick this pompous bitches ass right now! Linda unhand that ass!"
"So this is what I came down for?" We all turn and see Kara in a bikini with the bracelet on "Took you long enough to find a replacement...kids will never have to know...maybe I should just go home"
"Wait it is not what you think!" Kara rips off the bracelet and Lena stands up "Kara please!"
Kara takes off in a boom away "I thought you said it was ok" I glare at Linda who puts her hands up "I was created as a clone! There are only some things I know about people and things!"
"So this falls all back on you!" I turn toward Lena "You have better got a good explanation! If it is shit you will not see the next hour!"
"She has focused on trying to be a hero and she went back in time" Lena looks down at the sand "This Kara is not my Kara...she has no idea anything about what we have been through"
"So fix it instead of breaking it!" Lena nods and I turn toward Linda "Touch her was again and I will kill you! Now...you need to figure out what you are going to do!"
"I know" Lena takes off her bracelet "I will fix this...I just need you to bring Kara back here"
"You best not mess this up" She nods and takes off "Linda we are getting you someone to love"
"Love?" I nod and she looks confused "Is that what Lena and Kara share?"
"Dear god" Kelly sighs and shakes her head "This is going to be a very long process"
"You have no idea" I walk back to my stuff and grab my phone "Kara you best pick up and come back...I have nod idea what is about to happen"
-Time skip-Kara pov-
"What am I doing here?" Mom shrugs and keeps leading me to the beach "Why are we here? This is ridiculous...I heard why she is being like she is"
"She has set up something for you" I sighs and mom elbows me "You need to be open minded! She has tried her best ok?"
"Ok" I see the tiki torches and the small Hawaiian band standing beside them "What the heck is all of this?"
"Your lovely date" Mom starts walking away "Enjoy it all! Tomorrow will either be a better or worse day!"
-Lena singing-
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams,
And they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer.
At least for most of the questions in my heart.
Like: "Why are we here?", "And where do we go?",
"And how come it's so hard?".
It's not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing:
It's always better when we're together
Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at them stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings and brings new things
For tomorrow night you see that they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams
Might find their way into my day-to-day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, mmm, mmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.
"Please sit" I sigh and walk over as the band leaves "I...I will not lie and say I was innocent"
"Cause you are not and I heard it all" Lena frowns "Do you want to be with me? Am I who you still love?"
"Do you remember when we got engaged?" I nod and she looks skeptical "When?"
"Christmas time" Lena nods "What? Did you think I would forget that? I have tried to learn what has changed Lena!"
"Our last date" I raise a confused eyebrow "Our last date, what was it?"
"I..I can not remember" I look at the table confused "I..I think it was movies"
"It was a donut date with coffee" Lena grabs one of my hands "I feel like we are starting over"
"Do you want to continue with me?" I look up and meet her eyes "I do not want anyone else"
"I want to start over with you" Lena smiles and I give one back "How about this is our first date and we work on having a normal life from here on out?"
"I would love nothing more" I look at the basket beside the table "I hope that is our food"
She chuckles and starts pulling out food. This is going to be a long road. But it is a road I am willing to go down. No more secrets or pain.
I am so far mixed on how normal feels.
