Chapter 2 of New Beginnings are here! Hope you enjoy!
L-Corp:
Later that night, Lena was in her office working on some paperwork in her quiet office until someone knocked on her door. Lena looked up at the door as she slowly opened the top drawer and took out a small handgun, the door opened and in walked a tall woman with short brown hair, black trousers, black t-shirt and a dark red jacket.
"Who are you?" Lena asked as she pointed her gun at the unknown woman, she crossed her arms and looked at Lena.
"I'm a close friend of Kara Danvers' and someone your brother hates," The woman answered and it was at that moment Lex Luthor walked in. "And look who it is; the jackass of the decades." The woman joked, Lex looked at the guest and didn't look happy.
"I come here to talk to my sister and you show up," Lex was angry as he poured himself a whiskey and took the drink. "Lena, meet Kate Kane; she helped me and the other heroes save the multiverse." Lex introduced, Lena lowered her gun and placed it back into the drawer.
"She said she's a friend of Kara," Lena told her brother, Lex nodded then the brother and sister looked at Kate. "What do you want, Miss Kane?" Lena asked as she crossed her arms while Lex sat down on the couch and took a slip from his whiskey.
"I'm here to talk to you," Kate answered as she pointed at Lena, Lex looked surprised. "Because of you, Kara has given up being Supergirl and two other heroes have left their cities to help out! What happened to the connection between you two?" Kate asked as she walked over and smacked her hands down on the desk.
"Did she explain to you how I found out Kara being Supergirl?" Lena asked, Kate nodded then looked at Lex with a death stare.
"Yes and now I'm going to tell you something that not even your self-centered, idiotic jackass of a brother knows," Kate started, Lena and Lex waited for Kate to talk but instead, she pulled out a recording device and placed it in Lena's hand. "Listen to that then think about your life carefully." Kate told her then walk off towards the front doors and left, leaving Lex and Lena staring at the recording device. Before Lex could stop her, Lena had pressed play on the recording device and listened to it: it was Kara talking as if she wasn't going to survive fighting the Anti-Monitor.
"Lena, if you're listening to this then I must be dead and everything has been restored. First off, I want to say sorry for hiding my secret from you and it wasn't because of you being a Luthor: it was because you were the only one in my life that saw me as Kara Danvers, not Supergirl." Lena sat down and kept on listening to the recording while Lex laid back on the couch whilst reading a magazine about Batwoman being a lesbian. "If you're still listening to this Lena then there's something else I want to tell you if I don't survive. Lena Luthor, I'm in love with you. I know now we can't be together because no one could accept a Luthor and Super being in love, especially Lex. I've secretly had a crush on you since we first met and you looked like an angel but then I fell in love with you. I started to love you when you protected me from Mercy Graves at L-Corp and I will always love you, even if you still don't care about me." Kara's voice paused which got Lena's attention. "Sorry Lena but I gotta go: I'm going with a friend to find our Paragon Of Courage to defeat the Anti-Monitor. Goodbye Lena and remember: be your own hero and I love you with all my heart and soul." Kara spoke as it sounded like she was crying then the recording ended, Lex looked up to see that Lena had tears rolling down her face.
"Are you really crying over that?" Lex asked, Lena looked up at her brother with an angry expression which made Lex step back.
"Did you tell me Kara's secret just to get me to become like you? A self-centred human who hates Kryptonians?" Lena asked as she stood up and walked towards Lex, Lena looked more angry than Lex had ever seen. "Be honest or I'll shoot you again but this time, I'll hide your body and make you can't be brought back. Plus, I don't care if I get arrested because I've lost the one person that believed in me, no matter what and now, I've lost her!" Lena screamed then without even thinking about it; Lena threw a right hook punch into Lex's face.
"That hurt, Lena!" Lex shouted, Lena didn't respond. Instead, she grabbed her jacket then walked out of the office and looked at her receptionist.
"Get security to escort my brother out of the building and make sure he can't come in again." Lena ordered and her receptionist nodded just Lena walked away, Lex got up off the floor as he rubbed his cheek and jaw as the right side of his face was as red Kara's cape.
DEO:
Alex was in her office talking with Jefferson and Barry: the pair had been busy protecting National City as Kara was still recovering her emotional heartbreak. Barry had just received a text from Kate Kane saying that she was with Kara in her apartment.
"That was Kate; she's with Kara now," Barry informed Alex who smiled, she was thankful to all the people Kara had met and how they had come together to help her. "Alex, you okay? You look like you're about to cry." Barry pointed out as Jefferson handed the Director a tissue he had taken out from his jacket.
"Yeah. I'm just happy that Kara has friends like you two and Kate to help her," Alex answered with a smile on her face. Jefferson sat forward and smiled, Barry smiled too.
"If I ever needed help saving Freeland, I know that always count on and my new friends to help me." Jefferson smiled as he looked at Barry then Alex. Brainy walked into the Director's office and looked at Alex.
"Alex, Lena is here and wants to speak to you." Brainy told her, Alex nodded then Barry and Jeff suited up as The Flash and Black Lightning.
"Send her in, Brainy." Alex told her friend, Brainy nodded then walked off to get Lena. "You two stay here. I can't trust Lena since she broke Kara's heart." Alex told the two heroes, both Barry and Jeff nodded then they stood on each side of Alex like bodyguards. Shortly later, Lena walked into the office to see Black Lightning and Flash stood on either side of Alex which surprised Lena.
"Alex, can we talk in private?" Lena asked politely, Flash and Black Lightning looked at Alex and she shook her head, the two heroes stayed still.
"As they are close friends with Kara, they know everything as she told them," Alex explained, Lena nodded then she closed the office door and sat down. "What is it you want, Lena?" Alex asked as she sat forward, Lena reached inside her jacket and took out a recording device.
"I was given that by someone called Kate Kane who said she helped save the multiverse," Lena started, Alex took the recorder and looked at the heroes. "It was message from Kara to me in case she didn't survive." Lena explained, Flash walked out of the office to contact Kate.
"And what is it do you want Director Danvers to do for you?" Black Lightning asked whilst using his disguise voice, Lena looked up at him then back at Alex.
"Is it okay for me to see Kara?" Lena asked, Alex sat back in her chair. "Look, the reason Lex told Kara's secret was that he wanted me to become like him and I realised that I becoming like him. But now, I want to be the person that Kara wanted me to be: my own hero." Lena explained, Alex thought about her answer carefully then looked out the door to see Flash walking towards the office with Supergirl and Batwoman behind him.
"If you want to talk to Kara, you won't have to wait long," Alex told Lena as she stood up, Lena looked behind her to see Kara walking towards her with Batwoman and Flash behind her. "You two can use my office, it's soundproof. We'll leave you alone to talk while we go and train." Alex told Lena then she left with Black Lightning then walked off with Flash and Batwoman while Kara and Lena spoke in Alex's office.
"Lena, why are you here? To break my heart even more?" Kara asked as tears rolled down her face, Lena shook her head and was about wipe Kara's tears away but Kara stopped her.
"Kara, I want to apologise for everything I've done to you," Lena began, Kara shook her head then took a couple steps back from Lena. "I heard the recording you left before you went to find the Paragon Of Courage. Why didn't you think that you would survive?" Lena asked, Kara wiped her tears away only for more tears to appear.
"BECAUSE I HAD LOST YOU!" Kara screamed in pain, Lena was taken by Kara's voice as it sounded like she had lost her entire world. "When you told me at the Fortress that you had been using me, it broke my heart and made me feel like my world was gone. It was like I had lost Krypton all over again." Kara explained, Lena fell back into the chair and looked at Kara as she looked more broken than ever before.
"Kara, can we talk?" Lena asked, Kara didn't reply but instead, she stormed off then flew off into the sky while Lena sat in the chair and tears started falling down her face. Batwoman walked in and sat next to Lena, she looked at Lena and handed her a tissue.
"As much as I don't like you, I wanted to see if you were okay," Batwoman spoke as she sat back in the chair, Lena looked at Batwoman whilst wiping away her tears. "Have you told anyone who Kara is?" Batwoman asked, Lena shook her head and spoke up.
"I haven't told anyone, I promise." Lena promised as she drew a cross over her chest with finger, Batwoman nodded then slowly removed her crowl and wig to reveal her face: Lena was shocked to learn that Batwoman was Kate Kane.
"I trust you because you want Kara back," Kate spoke as she sat forward and held Kate's hand. "I'm going to help you get Kara back. We all deserve a second chance." Kate told Lena then she stood up, Lena nodded as she stood up and wiped her tears away.
"Do you think Kara will ever talk to me again?" Lena asked as her voice sounded broken, Kate nodded then Black Lightning, Flash and Alex walked in.
"If Kate trusts you with your identity, then we should too." Flash spoke and Black Lightning nodded so Black Lightning removed his mask while Flash removed his crowl. "I'm Barry Allen and this Jefferson Pierce." Barry introduced himself and Jeff's identities to Lena, she nodded then shook their hands.
"We heard everything and both me and Barry will do our best to help both you and Kara," Jeff promised then Barry, Alex and Kate nodded together which gave Lena something she thought she had lost: Lena had gained hope. She had gained hope that she and Kara could fix things between them become friends again and hopefully over time, something more.
"Let's start working on a plan on how to help Lena and Kara mend their relationship then." Barry suggested and the group agreed, they all grouped in Alex's office and started planning how they were going to get Kara and Lena to back as friends.
