To the amazing reviewers of this: Thank you from all the bottom of my heart for reviewing. It lights up my world and a fire blazes deep within my heart. I seriously want to hug you all every time I see it in my email. It gives me so much courage and hope that people actually like what I write.

I um, I know they ask you not to tell people stuff on here, but I figure with as much of my life and past relationships go, I don't think people would care as much what I say in there. My professor gave me a failing grade on this research proposal, I'm a history major and took Craft of the Historian, a class that teaches you how to write 20+ page historical essays for a single small research topic, three times before getting a passing grade. She asked me some questions and I'm staying in her class to learn because to withdraw would cost me to repay financial aid about $4,432, no joke. She asked if I've ever had problems, told her no, my family doesn't believe in seeking help. The kids aren't important but if my mom or dad got a paper cut, they need to go to the hospital. So, she wants me to go to the disability center. She thinks there is something unique, not wrong, she downright refused to say wrong, in my head that doesn't allow me to fully write and put down my thoughts when I write but when I speak, I do it correctly, without issue and nonstop information. She mentioned dyslexia as an example of one of her students but… I don't think I have it. I can read words fine, and when I read I do skip some words because I'm reading fast. I've always been able to read fast, I won my high schools book-it competition four years in a row. And I've gone to my writing center a lot but even then, they will ask me to redo the paper because what is on it is too much garble and not understandable. Or talk to me about what I'm trying to talk about, reread it and then go back to help me fix the sentences. I'll let you know? How it goes if you guys want but please, if you feel something is wrong, don't feel afraid. I wish I had someone to hold my hand and tell me it'll be okay. But I'm also glad nobody is with me right now because id rather not have them leave as well when they realized how… I'm really damaged goods…. So off to the chapter and please: Review, I begith of you! -hugs-

Lillian growled out, "What do you fucking mean they found Astra?"

John was on the floor, panting from being on the run, evading cops to find Lillian, "I don't know what happened. We got a finalized deal and were cutting into Astra when we heard the fighting."

"Did the money come in?"

"No, he pulled out once he realized Astra would still have a chance at having children, though harder now."

"A small victory for us. How are the contacts in Metropolis doing?"

"Not well. It's like his trail ended. We can't find Superman nor where he is."

"Tell them to work harder. If we can't get their matriarch, we will get the last son of Krypton. And Lena?"

"From what we can tell, she has buffed up her security, even to that of the neighboring towers. She's protected in a complete one-mile radius, if not more. Even if we tried, they would stop us before we stepped foot near her building."

"And Supergirl?"

"She's been spotted flying by multiple times. We think they've mated."

The glass in Lillian's hand broke, "No! My daughter is not a lesbian, or anything of that matter! She would never be with a Super!"

John gulped, head down, "Mrs. Luthor, we have reason to believe they are more than just dating but mated."

"Mated? Humans are not animals, we are the inferior race, meant to rule both Earth and the other planets."

John nodded, seeing a flash behind Lillian, smiling, "You know Mrs. Luthor, maybe we can work with them."

"What?"

"Well the KKK hated blacks but when it came to hating Jews, there were many groups of KKK and blacks joining together to kick out, hurt and kill Jewish citizens."

"Never."

John nodded, smiling, "Sorry Alex. Looks like Lillian will be on her own."

Alex stepped out from the darkness, the other members of the DEO stepping out, guns up, already cuffing men and women. Lillian stuttered, her glass of alcohol dropping to the floor, "This is preposterous. John, what is the meaning of this?"

"Names not John. My name is Kyle you prick, I'm the man who supposedly ruined you."

"No… It can't. We killed you."

"Kryptonians and Daxams are from the same line, much like mine is when being related to the Kryptonians. I just don't have the major superpowers, but I do get the immortality and the defensive parts, like unable to get killed by a bullet. And knives do hurt," lifting his head, wiping at his neck to show a scar, "but the wound closes up fairly fast with no diamonds on the knife."

"But you… I don't remember- "

"Honey, you can't even remember what Lex's father looked like, let alone remember my face long enough to care who I was to him. You took him from me!"

"He was not- "

"He was MINE! HE WAS MY MATE, MY HUSBAND, MY WORLD AND YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!" Kyle's voice boomed, shaking the building, causing small cracks to threaten the building to come down, though it stood strong, "Lex is mine you bitch! I have foiled every one of your plans. Supergirl, Superman, Astra, and their families deserve peace. Your reign is over Lillian."

Alex got behind Lillian, "Lillian Luthor, you are under arrest for kidnapping, trespassing, murder, and various other charges."

One of the DEO men came, taking Lillian away with her lackies. Alex stepped to Kyle, who was growling, staring at the form of Lillian as she was finally defeated and out of moves to play in her own messed up chess world, "Kyle… Thank you."

Kyle looked at Alex, "My pleasure. If you need anything, let me know."

Alex nodded, "Where will you be?"

"Lex and I bought a house before the whole…everything. I've been there since. It's how I know Lex is still inside of that body. If he truly hated aliens, he would have given me up."

Alex chuckled, "You've been doing this for five years… Think you'd be okay if I asked for some visitation with Lex?"

"Rao, I'd love that," Kyle spoke, crying softly, "I don't… I don't know how his react will be to see me. The last words he spoke to me were, 'I love you. I'm sorry.' Before Lillian took him away. When I saw him, he smelt of chemicals."

"We noticed that a while ago, Kara and Lena made comments about it. I think they are looking through his blood again but if they find anything, we have some of the best doctors to help."

Kyle nodded, "Of course. Thank you, Alex. I know hiding me from Kara must have been hard, but I wish to come clean to her. I am the last of my kind too. It's time for us Zor-El's to have a welcoming party. Well, a majority being Kryptonian El members."

Alex smiled softly, closing her eyes, "And what were you again?"

"When Krypton sent off in search of new homes, the House of El claimed a ship to be their house. It was a ship full of the unwanted, the servants of the houses. It's one o the few times a house had ever done that. We are called Tragyans, still with the mating system of the Kryptonians, but the planet had made us more Omegas than Alphas."

"Omegas? That's something Kara didn't talk about."

"Honey, it means I'm the bitch."

"Oh."

"And that's fine. Omegas can have children, in fact lots of kids. Male or female can be an omega. Haven't had kids left but... maybe one day."

"With Lex."

The smile of Kyle's face was unbelievable warm, "I hope so. One day… I have to go Alex but text me with any news or issues."

"See you Kyle," Alex hugged him before watching the man walk away, with a light step.

Lena woke up slowly, her body completely at rest with the feeling of a body on top of her. The feeling of pleasure sounded through her body and moving softly to stretch found her still filled with Kara's length, her body covering Lena's protectively as she snored away.

Lena chuckled softly at how the cities hero probably wouldn't wake up, even if a bomb went off or there was a fire burning. And Lena would have begged her to stay, if just for a selfish few minutes for the feeling of their skin on each other, their hearts beating for one another. But this morning had to be one of Lena's favorites. With everything going on, she thought in a small part of her mind, which saw the future with Kara that they might be allowed this moment of silence, if not with each other.

Kara could hear Lena's heard beat rising, instantly wake up, groggily. Lena chuckled as Kara nuzzled more into her, though gasped at the feeling of the cock, which had been in her all night, moving in her. Kara, half asleep, mumbled, "'orning beautiful."

"Morning handsome."

"…I'm still in you."

"Yes, you are."

"Can I stay?"

"Never leave."

Kara just laid back into Lena, nuzzling into the mate mark, while Lena was close enough to the nightstand for the remote to the TV inside her bedroom. Kelly and Ryan played on as the morning slowly rose. On the remote, Lena clicked the button for the blinds to go up, letting more sunshine in, knowing it would recharge her Kryptonian. But Kara put her hand over Lena's, repressed the button, "No love. It's my complete day off. I just want to be with you."

Lena nodded, pressing more buttons, closing the blinds off more, before asking, "Want breakfast?"

"Do I have to move?"

"Not really, I can order food like yesterday."

"How can an apartment be like a hotel?"

"One ay, I'll take you to New York. Many apartments are built like this. Ever wonder where my cars are parked?"

"Cars?"

"These apartments surround a main parking garage and inside that are private garages. Those house my cars and where my drivers are."

"This place has it all. Security seems good."

"The best actually. Stopped my mother and her goons more times than I can count."

"The school and neighborhood seem good."

Lena chuckled, "I picked this place for many reasons."

"Reminds me of Krypton."

Lena kissed Kara's arm, trying to convey her feelings to her mate, "So my Spartan way of life is a Kryptonian trait?"

"No, the House of El was sort of like the way the families of Brittan are. With palaces and servants and armies. Krypton was the same, but the houses were much like the apartment, open and big, with modern décor. Most of the houses did live this this. But my apartment looks like how the House of El did. Leather seat, comfortable areas. Everything was used by servants or the family members. Family dinners nightly, weekly gatherings and monthly gatherings with other families and their servants."

"Sounds like a good life."

"On Krypton, families were tiered and although we didn't have much in a way of government like you do here, the other families used to say I was the Princess of Krypton. When Kal was still in his mom's belly, they had full on arguments on whether or not it would knock me down from my future position."

"Did it?"

"Nope. Being a male or female on Krypton meant very little. Women usually did more if not could handle more than males, which is not to say they were weak. It's why I can beat Kal in a fight."

"But you've fought before, correct?"

"Yes, but if I did release my energy to fight him, there would be no Earth."

"So, I have the strongest Kryptonian as my mate? A Super picking a Luther? The world would go insane at the idea."

Kara chuckled, "Astra used to talk to me, about buying a few hundred acres to rebuild the House of El. It's a wonderful idea, to rebuild but its… I can't afford that, and neither can she and don't you dare start to plan it."

Lena just hummed, "It's a smart idea. It can be like a new hub for the DEO if not the main center for it, maybe even right outside of where the property ends."

"Kal doesn't consider nor want to know Kryptonian traditions, culture or history. Astra has Cat and I don't think Cat would ever give up her job as Queen of Media to life a peaceful life…ish at a place where she might feel uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable?"

"Have you seen what their apartment looks like?"

"It's nice, maybe not like mine or yours."

"Not one thing is Astra's."

"…I see your point. I think you and I have picked out half the things in my apartment… Why didn't notice it before?"

"How long did it take for you to notice I was Supergirl?"

"I think it was when you said, 'Kara Danvers believes in you,' and I noticed the same small scar on your face. My mind and heart instantly said, 'That's Kara, don't let your mother hurt her too,' and I just… I'm not as smart as I like to think."

"You are smart, and brilliant, and kind, and sweet and thoughtful and romantic, and sexy and cute and hot and mine," at each word, she kissed her way from one shoulder to the next.

Lena's heart melt, her being relaxing ever more into the bed, which was creaking slightly, which reminded her, "Let me call and I'll order up the food."

The clicker had a side button. Pressing it 5 times allowed for a soft ringing noise, before a womanly voice came on, "Ms. Luthor, how can we help you?"

"Yes, I will need the same order from yesterday. And can you please take the card you have on file and order a Purple bed?" Lena asked softly, closing her eyes at the kissed Kara littered all over her neck and back, without moving out of her.

"Yes ma'am. Will that be all?"

"No and around 12, please also order a large take out from the Chinese restaurant in the building."

"Yes ma'am. I see a previous order that had 16 dishes."

Thinking about what it was for, Lena nodded, "I would like to reorder that. When they bring it up, tell them the door is open and to leave the food inside."

"Yes ma'am. Anything else?"

"That is all. Thank you."

"Your welcome Ms. Luthor."

The clicker shut down and Lena turned to her lover, who met her halfway in a soft, kiss, sweet and kind. Kara whispered, "You take care of me too much."

Lena nuzzled into her, "I've never felt love as strong as I do for you. When I do something, I do it with love. The Luthor's had always taught me to spend money to win people over. I just have a lot of it that I've saved. I donate so much of it, but I still find myself with more than I can ever spend in 100 lifetimes."

"Being with me will expand your lifespan love. You'll live as long as I do."

"Does the bite do that?"

"Yes, something about the bond we give that connects the two. It makes it safer for when or if or if you do but don't want to, or I don't know- "

"Love."

"If you ever have children or do but don't want them. It makes it easier to carry them. It's not like we come out like that Alien Predator movie but Kryptonian babies stay longer in the body. I think Kal was born…. 13 earth months but he would have stayed longer but with Krypton having signs of exploding, they used chemicals to have him delivered early."

"Why do you think I wouldn't want your children?"

"You said once that children would just put a strain on the job and you wouldn't… you wouldn't have time for your relationship or the child."

"I'm sorry for saying that darling. I never meant that. I just… The Luthor's taught me to have no emotion, to think instead with my head and not my heart. You've… You've broken every one of their rules, their teachings. And I love you so much for it."

"I love more Lena."

The two kissed softly before Kara growled and Lena felt the cock inside of her completely harden in three seconds. A soft knock was on the front door, "Ms. Luthor, I'm at the door with your food."

Lena called out, feeling Kara above her, rocking back and forth into her, growling, "The door is open! Just, just leave the food and- fuck, Kara- I promise to give you money- "

"Ms. Luthor, we've been over this, no tips for us!" the man called back. Kara relaxed, the smell being of the man from the other day but her body still on edge, still needing to protect Lena from the potential threat to her mate. Her cock was hard, and her body automatically plunging into Lena slowly, needed to release in case there is a threat and Kara does perish. A final try at creating a next lineage, not matter how hard Kara tried to stop from being the Alpha.

The door shut up front, Lena pressing a button and a loud locking noise was made before Lena groaned out, "Kara, he's gone. I'm okay, I'm safe."

Kara was still growling, her eyes darkened, her muscles straining. Lena moved, whining softly at the loss of her lover's cock which immediately stood against Kara's stomach, glistening wet. Kara groaned, looking at the door still, in case he was still there, trying to threaten and step on her territory.

Lena pulled Kara down into a kiss, breaking Kara out of her gaze with the door, muttering, "My strong Alpha, you are no match for there men and woman. I only want you. Nobody else can or will have me. Take me."

Kara didn't need to answer, instantly going back inside Lena, whose legs wrapped around her hips, her arms moving around her neck to kiss her deeply as Kara thrusted into Lena.

The two of them made love, with soft words whispered into Kara's ears, "You feel so good Kara. Keep going. Fuck baby, this feels good. I only ever want you Kara, nobody else. I am yours. Only yours. And I want children with you, fuck baby harder. I want as many children with you as possible. I want a life with you. Fuck, shit Kara. Kara, I'm yours."

"Mine."

"That's it baby, that's it, right th- Fuck Kara, I'm close."

"Cum for me Lena."

"K-Kara!"

"Lena"

The two came, climaxing, with Kara careful not to knot her so that they could still move and go eat. Maybe later, Kara thought, nuzzling into the heaving chest of her lover, the more times they did it, the better chances of Lena getting pregnant. The idea of a Lena with a bulging belly, that held Kara's child sent tears to her eyes. She never thought she would maybe get to have a wife who would bear her children. But here she was, the woman of Kara's dreams.

Kara made a soft promise, to always protect this woman in front of her, to cherish her, and to make her happy, even if it costed Kara her life.

Astra's ears worked first. The sounds of the room were garbled first before becoming clearer. No pain. She felt no pain. No sounds of Krypton, nothing of her old world. The only sounds, though silent, were of breathing and a game. It sounded like running, with soft voices in the background, Italian. If Astra could of she would have chuckled. Carter's game of the week: Assassin's Creed 2. But it didn't sound the same, possibly a different one in the series. It reminded her to get this new game he wanted, Far Cry 5 or another. With cults and stuff. Cat wouldn't like it, she always complains about the graphics and how it'll turn him into a killer. Maybe I can talk to her about it, see and research if they have it to where the blood can be turned off… But Carter is smarter, he'd turn them back on.

The breathing seemed close, homing in on the sounds, there were only two signs of life besides her, meaning Cat was near, or someone else if Cat was off at her business. Astra knew the media company was her life, it meant everything to Catherine to be able to get on her feet after her deadbeat husband and provide for Carter and herself. It made the pride in Astra's chest come out, a soft growl escaping her body in warmth. She started to feel. A soft warmth was on her right hand, maybe a thumb was moving back in forth with feelings of something touching each tip of her fingers and continuing over the palm of her hand and arm before going backwards and doing it again and continuing. No pain.

The smells came next. It was a soft smell, like clean linen, but a small smell, her scent encompasses the rooms. It was faint as Astra had probably not scented it by herself, but her items might have been in the room. The person with the noises smelled sweet soft, with a small hint of Astra in the mix, Carter. The thought of the small boy made her smile or want to smile. Her son was safe, even if it was not biologically, he was there. Maybe dragged to be there for her but it meant everything just the same.

The scent near her was sweeter, like the flowers where her room had been when her sister Alura married into the House of El. Astra was still unmated and she remembered Allura's new husband smiling at her, showing her a room on the main floor, "And this is your room. If you want it of course. Your sister married me, it's a tradition to incorporate everyone. Welcome to the family!" And a huge was given to her, afraid to return it at the thought of having a place to maybe call a home before seeing the smirk on her sister's face at being mated first. The scent reminded her of her victories, her defeats, her troubles and happiness. Catherine Grant was next to her, doing something to her hand. In fact, as she felt more and more, they were lips kissing her as if she were a god who had fallen, and Cat could only kiss the skin of her hand, unworthy of her.

Astra slowly gained control of her body, her eyes and movements following. Opening them up, she noticed the room itself was much like an apartment. The door opened to reveal the game playing and, at an angle, Carter's signature hair style and head. Turning her head, to look at Cat, she noticed that the lights in the room were the lights the DEO used, set up around the hospital bed. Cat was in a chair, an offlay uncomfortable looking chair, with a blanket covering her, probably to stop the lights affects from hurting her as she sat next to her. It wasn't on her but a metal box, with just the supports, covered the chair, leaving her room to move and even lean over to the bed but protected her from the blaring lights. It left Astra a little confused since she had seen many of the doctors go into it but an hour or more would have hurt if not killed them.

Astra realized Cat had probably been there longer than just an hour. She didn't noticed Astra was up until Astra closed her hand, keeping Cat's hands in her one. Cat looked up, dark circles under her eyes, hair a little bit over the place but still perfect and- Rao, she shirt was blue with the House of El chest over her chest. It warmed her heart to see it, smiling just softly, growling as her eyes traced the famed letter of Kryptonian text. She had seen fans wear the shirts, somehow Lena had gotten the rights to the symbol itself, the profits of any royalties and usage going to charities. But seeing Cat in it, something she swore she would never wear, made Astra want to cry.

But Cat got up from the chair, kissing the tear that had fallen without her wanting it to, a soft whisper, "I'm here love. Don't cry. You're safe now. I'll protect you with my life."

Astra nodded, unable to speak, her voice dry and itchy. Cat got some water from one of the side tables, which had 5 jugs of water. She filled up a cup, letting Astra chug it, putting a towel under her chin as the Kryptonian always missed when she woke up, needing to chug the water to get rid of the feeling. After two and a half jugs, Astra was finally able to clear her throat, now sipping softly, "Cat…. I'm sorry."

Cat just sighed, "I knew I would be in trouble when you woke up," Astra raised an eyebrow and Cat continued, "When you usually wake up from a fight or anything, you call me darling or love or anything. Even Catherine, which I have no idea would ever sound so sweet and kind coming from someone, but you make it sound like my name is that of an ancient Goddess you worship. But never Cat."

"'m sorry."

"Don't be. You're alive and that's all that matters… We need to talk about something. See this room?"

Astra looked around, noticing the sparse furniture, with just piles of clothes, her to be exact, covering about 25% of the space. She nodded, and Cat continued, "This is ALL of your clothing from the apartment. Do you know at yours, the one you still keep, there is more you never brought over? In fact, I had my men scour and rip the apartment up to find one thing of yours. Jewelry or anything… Not a thing. That bag you took of all that stuff, was just clothing…. Not one piece of furniture, not even a pillow, had your scent on it. Did you clean everything before you left?"

Astra nodded, "I put…things in the wash and I hadn't… I haven't scented the apartment in a few days. I was going to the next day when I had more energy but after everything, washing and getting rid of the stuff I used, took away my scent… And you said that my…furniture looked like it was from a third world country," each break was a sip of water to help her throat after her torture. Talking to Cat, no matter the topic, calmed her down, her memories and experience unable to come up in the presence of her mate.

"This ends after this," Cat demanded, her expression though soft and loving, almost sad like, "I have destroyed a lot of things, mainly relationships. I have…dragged my feet so hard on everything. When… when we get back, fi you want to live with me and Carter permanently, I want... I want your stuff in the apartment. Carter likes it, he even when to go bring some stuff of yours to scent up this DEO place. But I… I need it. This... This isn't about me. This is us. I've been with you for years. You took Carter to his first day of school and waited the whole day outside for him, even waiting at the fence for his playtime, until he got out just, so you didn't miss a single moment of it."

"He was also afraid that he wouldn't make friends. He had the burns on him from…him and I needed to show him that we are stronger together," Astra commented, using the moto of the House of El, the memory of the good for nothing father hurting Carter still burned into her mind after all these years.

"You are Carter's parent. There is nothing to discuss on that love. I've pushed you from entering a place that to me is all mine. It's not mine anymore. It never was the moment I met you and Kara. This has always been us. And I never made it about us."

"Love… I should have fought it, told you about it."

"Kryptonians can't do that. I've learned enough from you all that I should have watched my mouth. One time I say I love sushi and you both are learning how to cut and filet salmon and tuna for me."

"It was my idea, Kara wanted to learn for Lena, she likes sushi too."

"Those two… Move in with me fully, let's get married."

"Love, you are wearing the crest… That is marriage."

"Really… Really married. More than just giving me a bracelet. I want the ceremony, a real Kryptonian styled ceremony. I want… I want to change the information on Carter, legally. I want to be Catherine Zor-El. And Carter already calls himself that, so it won't change much."

At that sound, Carter was already up, running into the room and jumping on the bed, causing Astra to clench at the bed in pain but her face happy at the sight of her son, "Mama, you're awake! I missed you so much!" Carter wrapped her arms around Astra's neck, burying her face against her neck, "Don't you EVER do that to me or Mom again. I swear she was going insane without you here. Neither of us could sleep until she put on one of your shirts."

Astra's heart melted, holding onto her son, looking at Cat's face softly, "It's okay my son. I'm here. Not even Rao can pluck me, nor Kara, from this world nor your clothes."

Astra nodded at Cat, answering the question. Cat cried, kissing Astra's hand that she still held. The family of three sat there, with Carter falling asleep on Astra, and Cat joining on the bed, being held by the Alpha. Cat asked softly, so that it didn't wake Carter from his peaceful sleep, "Do… Do you know what they did to you?"

Astra nodded, "most Kryptonians, like myself, learned techniques to not enter what you would call PTSD. I have little memories. Just the feeling of pain. I know... I know that it will be even harder to give you children… it was harder before with our sperm count being so low but now… "

"I want you Astra. I will only ever bare your children. So, stop that nonsense in your head before I beat you senseless."

"Yes love."

Cat kissed Astra, cupping her cheek tenderly before speaking, "Astra, I can't lose you like that again. I am nothing without you."

"Cat, you mean everything to me. I will die protecting you and Carter, to my last breath."

"Don't be that dedicated into it… I can't… =I got the bracelet back for you."

"No, it was a fair trade. I destroyed your bottle of wine."

"I bought it back with money. The wine is still in the apartment. Right next to a new wine I bought with Carter. We had gone out to buy us a bottle of wine. I didn't… I didn't want to have a bottle of wine from my ex but not one with you, when you are my everything."

"But it was your favorite."

"No Astra, you are my favorite wine. I thought I could never find someone who would appreciate my age, my faults and qualities, my son, my life, my personality, but you held me through it all. You helped me through everything. You are… mine. And I am yours. Don't ever ask me again to unmate myself with you. I'd rather shoot myself in the head or eat Kryptonite than do that to us."

Astra nodded, her body tired out, "Catherine, my love, lets rest. You need it. I will watch over us."

Cat shook her head, nipping at Astra's skin, leaving a soft red mark, "No baby, lets both sleep. We can protect each other."

The family of three slept, comfortably and quietly. Safety.

It's been a week later and the loud sound of an alarm blaring with a voice, "Prisoner Triple Zero coming through!"

The rough sound of chains on the floor as the man walked into the room, being chained to the table. His arms had been recently poked and prodded, before given medicine, making him saner and controlled. He spent the past three nights crying over his freedom of his mind and body.

Lex Luthor, the man who wanted alien's dead, was free from the chemicals and torture his mother had put him through. He sighed at the difference in air, a soft smell coming through the door. Before the guards left, a flash of someone blonde came in. Lex looked at her softly, "Excuse me, I don't know you."

The woman smiled, taking her hand out in a shake, "Kara Zor-El, you know my cousin."

Lex smiled softly, taking his hand, caught in the chain when he held it out to its max, shaking her hand, "Lex Luthor, you know my sister."

The two smiled, a soft exchange between the two. Kara spoke softly, "Thank you for replying back to my request. I didn't know if the doctors would have been allowed to help."

"With her away from me, the medicines that were being released into me had lost a lot of potency. I was able to kick the addiction and form an answer of a yes. I feel…much better now. Like an older me."

Kara nodded, "Good to hear it. I also heard from a little birdy that you are cooperating with the DEO and police and helping turn in everyone from Cadmus and other terrorist groups."

Lex nodded, "It's funny that I still have all that information locked into my head and that they are still running around free of charge."

Kara chuckled, "Well I have had fun rounding them up. Twenty something so far, a still counting. Today will be relaxed. I've informed the guards you'll be here a while with more than one person in the room and food. All checked and backgrounded on. I'll just have to stay in the room."

"Not a problem, though I would guess if you are here… Lena?"

Kara nodded, opening the door on the other side to reveal a smiling Lena. She had on just slightly baggy jeans, on old university long sleeve and converses. She was not the CEO, but just Lex's sister, seeing her brother for the first time in a long time.

Lex wanted to cry, and he might have but he didn't notice. He stood up, his arms still chained to the table but enough to embrace his sister fully and long. He held her tight, "I missed you sister."

Lena nodded, crying, "I missed you too Lex."

Kara stood in the corner, but Lex noticed the small bite on Lena's neck, before smirking and opening up his arms, "Come over her Zor-El, your part of this family too. Wish you would have sent me an invite to the wedding, I would have loved to have given my sister away to you."

Kara nodded, joining the family hug. It was an odd picture. A Kryptonian superhero holding the two siblings of the world's most notorious alien haters who were all smiling at the Super.

Lena sat down after the hug, with Lex who refused to let go of either of their hands, smiling something sweet and kind. Nothing like the older Lex, the horrible uncaring Lex Luthor. Lex smiled, "So what brings you all here today?"

Kara cleared her throat, "Lillian and Cadmus have all been arrested and charge. Lillian has already been sent to jail for life with the death penalty for hate crimes."

"Good. She deserved it. If you need it to go faster, I can always add my own testimony. Those doctors should still have proof of the chemicals inside me and the trackers they took out that released the chemical into me."

"I'll ask the DA's office later about it. Less chance of her escaping."

"She could always share my cell. But she won't make it here for anything longer than a day. And that I won't mind spending more time in jail for."

Lena spoke softly, "We also wanted to talk to you about that."

Lex looked up, the black circles under his eyes making him look older than himself, "What is this about? Are you pregnant?"

Kara chuckled, "Not yet. Still trying, might be for a while."

"I thought and researched that it was stronger than normal."

"No, it takes longer. The sun might make us stronger but the seed, it is less potent. Omegas are the same or should be."

Lena continued, "they want to do something, and we have a plan… With the chemical no longer in your body, your plea and charges are being dropped. You were under an outside influence and with your help, your charges will be gone."

Lex was dumbfounded, "Does this... Does this mean they'll give me another chance?"

Lena nodded, "They are willing for you to return home, but you can no longer run the company."

"That's fine. I'll find another job."

Lena shook her head, "Not on your life. But…there is one other person here who might want to live with you. Something about a place, just for the two of you."

"K-Kyle? Kyle is alive? Mother said she had killed him. I never, I never told her where he was. She said she had found him and killed him. He can't… He can't see me like this. I have bags and I'm not- "

"Hold that thought."

Lena stood up, knocking three times before a moment later receiving a knock. Opening the door revealed Kyle, holding sunflowers, about ten bunches worth, in his arms, smiling deeply, "Hello Lex. I hope I'm not too late to ask you to be my Valentine."

Lex was immediately standing up, his face lighting up, looking at his lover, as if years had not past and he still held his heart in his hands. Lex's lips quivered, a silent tear down his face, "Kyle… it's been so long."

Kyle took a few steps forward, noticing Lex would have been saddened at moving from his spot, the chains would have held him back and reminded him of everything, "And you still look as handsome as ever."

Lex looked down, his hands wanting to hold Kyles, afraid, "And you are still as charming and caring as the day I last saw you. My heart has not beaten until now. I have not taken a single breath until you walked in here."

Kyle put down the flowers, grasping Lex's hands tenderly, kissing his cheek but having to stand on his toes to kiss the cold cheek of his lover, "Still ever the charmer. You know, you didn't answer me."

Lex moved forward just a tad, putting his face in his lover's neck, not looking at the still there bite mark, just needing to smell his lover, his mind racing with nostalgia, "Aren't I supposed to be the one to ask you that?"

"You did the year before."

"It's been a few years love."

"Whose counting when I have you in front of me?"

"Not me. Not anymore… If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up."

Kyle moved, putting his arms around Lex's neck, his lips close to the taller mans, "I would fight anyone trying to wake up my protector from his sleep," before kissing his softly.

Lena was silently crying, seeing the two together after years of turmoil and fighting. She could see Lex, her Lex, the real Lex, and the stress and evilness rolling off him as they kissed, realizing it was real. This was all real. She knew Kara had pulled out all the stops, vouching and giving her own word that Lex would be a good citizen. Lena also had more than enough money to take care of Kara, Lex and Kyle. Years of Lex giving her money to invest in when their parents weren't looking left so much for Lena to do and play around with.

When the two pulled away, Kyle asked softly, "Do you... Do you hate me?"

Lex shook his head, "Never my sweet. You were always the better one of us both. I wish I was stronger for you. I must be a horrible mate. Look at me… I've been in jail, I should have been protecting you. I thought... I thought my mother was… I didn't know she would do THIS to me."

Kyle kissed the tears running down Lex's face, "Shhh bear, enough of that… When, when we have alone time- "

Kara got up, exclaiming, "We can leave the room if you want."

Kyle nodded, "Would that be okay? I don't think I can wait to tell him, but I will bring you both back in when it's done. No funny business here. I've worked too long and hard to get my ass in here. You are damn well that I won't risk that."

Lex nodded, kissing Kyle's chest, right where his heart is, "And I refuse to ever leave his side again. I'm staying here."

Lena nodded, taking Kara's hand and leaving the room. Lex looked at Kyle, asking softly, "Would you like to sit? I don't mind standing. I don't want to be far from you."

Kyle smiled, "Sit on the floor with me."

The two got down, though Kyle helped Lex get down before helping him lean against the chair, getting into his arms, as if it were a couch or a bed, maybe if a movie or music was playing, it would have looked more like a date than a jail visit. Lex played with Kyle's hands, a nervous habit, "What is it love?"

Kyle looked up at him, "I won't hide anything or beat around th bush. Don't get mad or sad with me. Just know that… Things can still happen."

"Oh Rao, you are with someone else, aren't you?"

Kyle chuckled, seeing Lex had still held onto his exclamation of the form Gd, though now it wasn't just his word now. Kara and Astra said it too, with their loved ones as well, "No my bear, not at all. You are the only man for me. My mating mark is still there."

Kyle kissed Lex's neck, which was absent of it, knowing what Lex's mother had done to it. She had ripped it off, had it cut out and replaced with different skin. This wasn't the place nor time to put it back, but the bond was still there and the love. Lex growled at the feeling, "What is it?"

"When… When you left, I found out I was pregnant."

"No… I never saw… Nobody told me."

"They were ever told. It was a boy, Luke. You and your family have this L letter business, so I wanted to name him after it all. Luke Luthor, fitting name. Lillian found out years later. I had him at preschool and got the news that a lone shooter had gone into his classroom… I had to bury him in hiding, the news was trying to get his name and I couldn't… I didn't want you to see that I had failed in protecting your son."

Lex's heart clenched at the sound, he had a son. He had a beautiful son and he never got to see him. Never got to smile at him, hold his hand, feed him and care for him. Lex held onto Kyle tightly, "No, it's not your fault. It was never your fault. It's mine. I wasn't there."

Kyle shook his head, "No, no, no. This… I want to say that it was nobody's fault, but it would go in a circle of blame… I've gone to therapy for it but… You deserved to know that you helped create one of the sweetest boys in the world. I old him about you but he refused to believe you would have done anything bad. He was the one, without meeting you, who said that I should help bring Lillian down, like Superman."

Lex chuckled at that, "He liked Superman?"

"Oh yes, saw it fitting that your kid would like Superman. I had just bought him bedsheets for it and everything. Refused to let it go, would drag it around. He had brown hair and eyes, short."

Lex could picture him, smiling and grumbling as he held onto the red and blue blankets. He smiled, tears spilling from his eyes more, "Did… Did he resent me?"

"No, actually said if you ever found him, he would have joined you. If just to have the chance to see you smile at him. I knew… I thought it would be best to tell him everything. I didn't want him to resent either of us as he got older."

Lex turned Kyle's face, wiping away the tears as much as he could have with the chains and cuffs, "You did an amazing job at raising our son. May I… May I have the opportunity to help you again, to… to be with you once more?"

Kyle nodded, kissing Lex softly, a silent yes spoken without words. The two rest there for another minute before Kyle looked up at the clock that was protected within the wall from inmates, "Let me go let them back in. The process should be done now."

Lex got up, helping Kyle move, "What do you mean process?"

Kyle just had a smirk, opening the door. Kara gave him thumbs up, "All done."

Lex, still slightly confused watched as th prison guards came in. He shut his eyes, ready for the guards to unchain him from the table and take him back, afraid to see Kyle, Lena and now Kara for an unknown amount of time. But instead his voice rang out, "Lex Luthor?"

Lex opened his eyes, seeing the guard reading his name from a clipboard, "Yes sir. That's me."

"We have your belongings at the front but to save time, your husband and sisters (The words brought a chuckle, no wonder the guards let him have this many people inside the room) brought you clothing to wear as it has been some time. Take this time to get changed," he spoke, lifting a bag up on the desk, with a box of new shoes, shirts to choose from, even cologne that he wore when he was still himself, and other items he might want. The guard undid the cuffs, taking them away. The man was able to walk away before turning to him, "Lex… I hope you enjoy your life outside of here. In the best way possible, I hope to never see you here again. It's been a pleasure having you here when you are back to you being you."

Lex smiled, his arms free from the weight, the chains no longer holding him back, he was free, "Thank you sir."

Lex was left along with Kyle, who took every opportunity to kiss and help Lex with his clothes, like they had done years ago. It was like there was no time in between, like they were at the apartment, getting Lex ready for work and Kyle trying to keep him there longer, if not for a few minutes of wandering hands and soft kisses with loving words spoken between the two like prayers. Lex finished getting dressed, with new jeans, a button down, sunglasses on the blocked, untucked with dress shoes that fit the relaxed look. Lex knew he would never have to put on another Luthor outfit again and it was time to change. Kyle put the prisoner clothes away, even flicking his finger at it which Lex laughed at.

Holding hands, Lex and Kyle walked out of the room, while outside, everyone from Astra, Cat, carter to Maggie and Alex, Eliza and Lucy and Winn, stood outside, with balloons and cake, "Congrats!" the man standing in front of them all Clark Kent, aka Kal Zor-El, Superman.

Lex walked up to him, ready to apologize but Kal smiled, giving Lex a deep but not hurting hug, "Welcome home brother."

Lex held onto him, to the man who had for years been his brother, his confider, his friend in the darkness of the Luthor name. Lex was home and was going to stay there for good.

The gang made their way to Cat Grant's apartment, Lex and Kyle unwilling to leave each other nor their new group of friends. Astra was the first inside, just getting back from the medical ward from the DEO, rescenting the apartment before calling out for everyone to come inside. Kara was the first one in, so it wasn't a threat when the others came in, taking the now weakened Alpha to the couch.

The counters were full of food, the laugh of Kara's mate and her brother filled the room with tales and sorrow memories. Kara and Astra sat on the couch, with Astra silently licking her wounds, feeling full with the apartment in party mode.

Kara whispered, only about for Astra to hear, "I love you mom."

Astra smiled softly, "Alura would have been proud of you little one."

Lena turned to her lover, seeing the sadness and happiness running over Kara's face, seeing her mouth the words, "I wasn't talking about her."

Lena knew. Astra had said it in one of the videos, in Kryptonian, pleading to Rao to save her daughter Kara and forgive her for Alura's mistakes. Lex tapped Lena's shoulder, giving her a 'Go' look. The gang were lost in their world; Cat, Astra, Lena and Kara sat on the couch, the mood somber but hopeful.

Astra sighed, "How did you find out?"

"I'm not mad Astra, just confused. You… I watched the videos to find out where you were. Why... Why didn't you tell me? Am I even... Am I even a Zor-El?"

"Yes... Yes, you are… I don't know where to begin. Your mother, or Alura, she was young when the matrix picked your father. Your mother had a lover from Daxam, this higher up rich man from this family. He treated her wrong but by the time their marriage was to come, the man and his views of women brought your mother to be captured by him and his family. Wanting to stop the marriage. In order to stop a war, your father asked me something. Alura and I looked the same, exactly the same. In order for the matrix to make a child, it takes the DNA of both. But the DNA didn't determine the compatibility of the other, it just needs the DNA to create a child. Mon didn't want a child with me and went to fight in order to not be obligated for this ceremony, where he perished in war later on. I knew the child would look like Alura so me and your father dyed my hair strand and I put in my DNA. The House of El before was always so kind and welcoming and I never wanted to tell your father that Alura never loved him. He was so in love with her and the least I could have done was give him a child that he wanted."

"What happened?" Kara asked softly, holding Astra's hand.

"Your mother was returned, the family no longer wanting her except for reasons for war. With you being born, I got to hold you. You were so small and gorgeous. It's why you were the 'Princess' of Krypton. A powerhouse family with individuals at the top. If you were still on Krypton, the government was meant to change to a single ruler to forward our progress. You were that person."

"What did Alura think of this?"

"She was disgusted with outsiders of Krypton. She had asked your father to fire and send away all non-Kryptonian servants, but he refused. They even lived and slept on different sides of the house. I stayed in a room close to your father. Nothing happened but he never wanted me to miss a moment of something with you. I think you knew as a child who I was, but you got sick when you were 5."

"I remember that. It was a disease spreading through the babies."

"Yes, by the time it hit you, they had found a cure. Very little children died but it required the blood of the parents. When they went to Alura, she was so embarrassed to point to me. I was happy to give my blood, I was huddled next to you, refusing to leave your side for a second. When you felt better, Alura sent me away, banishing me away from the House of El. On the military ships, your father sent me pictures and logs of how you were doing. Alura was becoming more desperate to separate herself from her past and myself. She developed weapons and used your fathers love for her to great viruses for an attack. She was the main reason Krypton's core was going haywire. She was secretly testing it for it's power and if it can be used. We all warned her, but she locked us in jail, even your father but he got out very quickly. By the time he put her in her place, it was too late. Krypton had a day or two left so your father built the pods, enough for them, you, and Kal and his parents. Us in prison were able to outlive the blast, the prison itself so durable so that we couldn't escape. It was out safety. But you two, you made it out alive. And I thank Rao for it every day. IF you ask me now if I would od it all again, I would."

The group was silent, the gang having stopped talking to listen to the story. Astra was tearing up, with Cat buried in here neck, whispering loving words, so her lover, her mate, would calm down from the fear, anger, sadness and love for Kara. Kara sat there, thinking softly. The crinkle in her forehead forming as she thought of everything. The crinkle disappeared as fast as it did before she pulled Astra into her arms, "I love you mom."

Astra cried harder, bringing her daughter into her arms, "As I love you my little one. I'm sorry for my mis- "

Kara pulled away, holding her shoulders tightly, shaking her head, "No, no, no. What's done is done. I've lived my life thinking I was wrong, that you weren't my mother, and I was just being stupid. Now I find out I've been right all along. Why I take so much after you and disliked Alura… I know you have Carter and maybe…if Cat ever wants a child, but... Do you think you would still love me and accept me as your daughter?"

Astra nodded, crying more and more, "Yes, you have always been my child. I've protected you since the beginning, I would never see that end."

The two hugged more, speaking fast Kryptonian, which Lena could only guess was loving, the mother-daughter duo back together. Carter walked over to Kara, who pulled away from Astra, "So… You really are my sister."

Kara nodded, chuckling, "Seems so."

Carter smiled, opening his arm, "Hug me brotha'!"

Kara laughed at his usage of their favorite tv show, hugging him tightly, which he didn't mind the pain, feeling his heart open just a bit more for his new sister. Cat watched the scene, bringing Astra back to her, holding her again as they watched Kara smile at Lena exclaiming, "I have a brother Lena! That means he is your brother-in-law!"

Cat smiled into Astra, kissing her neck softly, "And I do want children with you my warrior. AS many as youll give me."

She felt a deep growl from Astra, "It might take a few tires. Not just from me trying to enjoy it but... I'm a little bit inhibited."

Cat kissed up her neck, kissing around her ear, earning a soft sigh from her lover, "That's fine. I've waited a long time for you Astra Zor-El. I will wait an eternity for you. On this note, can we go to the court house tomorrow?"

Astra nodded, "Whatever you want. I'll ask Kara to cover for me then."

"Good because I'm ready to be a Zor-El."

Astra smiled, her voice higher, "Really? You'd change your name for me?"

Cat smiled, Carter joining on Astra lap, "Can I change mine too? It would be weird if I was still a Grant, but my moms are both Zor-Els."

The family of three laughed smiling before Astra looked at Kara, who joined the hug, followed by Lena and Lex and Kyle, with Maggie, Alex, and co all in the biggest hug the world had ever seen. On each of their person, either by necklace, bracelet, or watch, or in Lena's case, a tattoo on the top right of her shoulder, the House of El symbol stood boldly around the room. The House of El was strong. El mayarah.
