Kryptonian Nights 39

Supergirl is the property of DC comics and the CW. I am borrowing the characters for a little fun and storytelling. You have to wonder who would be able to break through those hard walls of Lena's.

Eliza

"Can I help you mam?" Jess asked the older woman who stood before her. Thee Older woman wore beautiful blue slacks, a button up blouse, and a long sleeve open front knit sweater with pockets. Her blonde hair was peppered with grey strands here and there presenting a beautiful woman with an esteemed look.

"Yes, I'm here to see Lena Luthor. I'm Dr. Eliza Danvers." Eliza stated her blues eyes sparkling accompanied with a soft smile. Jess was totally befuddled. How many Danver's women were there? How come Lena Luthor seemed to have the luck to find them all?

"Oh, I don't seem to have you on the schedule Dr. Danvers. Let me check if she can see you. Wait one minute." Jess stood and walked into Lena's office. The CEO was diligently at work as always these days working on some new idea or technology. When she had told Kara Danvers she would trust in technology only from now on she had meant it. Her hours had increased once more to sixteen or eighteen hour days. Only going to sleep when absolutely necessary. LCorp had presented more technology in the last four months of Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor's dissolution of friendship then in the years before Lena had met Kara. In the long run it would be great for LCorp, but not for the CEO. Jess could see burnout coming if something didn't change soon. Lena looked up not having expected to see her assistant. "Dr. Eliza Danvers is here to see you. I didn't have her on your schedule." Jess could tell by the confusion on Ms. Luthor's face she wasn't expecting the doctor. "I'll send her on her way Ms. Luthor. I'm sorry to have disturbed you." Lena rose quickly from her seat and shook her head.

"No, I'll see her. I'm just a little confused on why she is here." Lena stood in front of her desk as Eliza was shown into her office. The eldest Danver's walked straight over to Lena and hugged her tightly. Lena almost broke into a sob being reminded of the long forgotten hugs Kara Danvers once gave her daily in their friendship. Since the reveal that Kara was Supergirl she hadn't allowed an emotional embrace or comfort from anyone. She sparingly talked to Alex as director of the DEO on projects and brainstorming sessions. Everytime Alex tried to break through the professionalism Lena slammed the door shut on her. Yet, Alex kept trying. She hadn't given up. She just didn't understand the Danver's women.

"Oh sweety! I have missed you so much!" Eliza hugged her a little tighter rubbing small circles on her back. Lena struggled to get her emotions under control even as the smell of lavender, baked muffins, and coffee assaulted her senses. Eliza always felt like home and Lena had missed her so much just now realizing how much she had lost with the breakup of her and Kara's friendship.

"I'm not sure why you are here Eliza. I am no longer friends with Kara or Alex." Lena said as she stepped back and wiped the tears from her face. She reached over to her desk and grabbed a tissue. Eliza nodded in understanding. Her daughters didn't even know she was in National City. However, Kara's phone call three days ago telling Eliza all about the issues with Lena had spurred her to action.

"Actually I'm here as a mother." She watched as Lena began to protest. "For you. I know that today is your birthday." Eliza reached into her bag and pulled out two wrapped presents with a card attached. "So I thought you might like to celebrate by going out to lunch with me." Lena was stunned to say the least. She had expected Eliza to take Kara's side. She had expected to be spurned by everyone who had known Kara. Yet, that had not happened. Eliza was just another piece of evidence to prove her argument on technology wrong. "You're my girl. Just because there has been a falling out with my girls doesn't mean you aren't family. You'd probably have to kill everyone of the Danvers for that to happen and even in death we would still claim you. We love you. But this isn't about the girls. This is about you and I. So being your mom, even if it took forever for us to find you and bring you into our family I want to take you to lunch. I want to hear how you are doing!" Lena shuddered and leaned back against the desk. She just couldn't believe it. This wasn't supposed to be happening. Friends and family weren't like this. "So where are we going for lunch because I'm hungry." Eliza stepped closer and placed her hand on Lena's arm. She raised Lena's chin to catch her attention. "Come on daughter. Let's get out of here." Lena looked up into warm, understanding eyes and decided to trust Eliza. She shouldn't. She would just get hurt again. But she was desperate for some type of warmth. Any type right now. God, she missed Kara.

"All right." Lena grabbed her purse and glasses. She locked out her computer and shut it down while Eliza waited. Once ready, Eliza offered her arm and Lena accepted heading out the door. "Jess cancel my afternoon appointments. I'm going out with my...my mom for lunch." Eliza's face lit up brilliantly with a smile as she hugged Lena closer.

"Yes Ms. Luthor." Jess watched as the two left on the elevator. She sighed in relief and pulled out her phone.

Jess: I don't know how you did it. I'm sure it was you though. Thank you. Please don't give up on her.

Catco reporter: I'll never give up on Lena. No matter how much she hates me. No matter how much I screw up. I promised to protect her. Thank you for letting me know.

Supergirl watched from seven buildings over as Eliza and Lena exited LCorp laughing and talking. She knew her relationship was messed up with her friend, but that didn't mean she wouldn't watch out for her. She had caused this divide. She would work to fix it. If it couldn't be fixed well then she would just go through life being a shadow to Lena and those she loved. It's why she called Eliza several days ago. She knew Eliza's character wouldn't allow Lena to suffer. She would care for the CEO even while Kara watched over and cared for her from afar. After all, that's what love is really about. Supergirl watched as the two women got into the car. She then took to the skies with a smile knowing her friend would have a good day.

"The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love."
