"Miss Luthor you have a call line two," Jess said through the intercom.
"Thank you Jess," Lena replied as she answered. "Miss Luthor speaking."
"Miss Luthor this is DR. Carter," she heard a voice say from the other end.
"Dr., thank you for calling have you found anything?" Lena asked as she closed her laptop.
"I would prefer to speak in person if you have the time?" the Dr. asked.
"Of course I will be right there. Thank you," Lena said before handing up.
"Jess cancel my day and you can go home," Lena said as she passed her assistant on the way out.
Jess looked confused but did as she was told.
"I'm here to see Dr. Carter," Lena told a nurse as she entered the hospital.
"Miss Luthor this way," the Dr. said as he ushers her inside his office.
Lena quickly followed as she sank down in the chair facing him as she steeples her fingers together and waited with bated breath.
The Dr. grabbed a file and set it on his desk before speaking, "okay I'm going to be straightforward.
"Please do," Lena told him.
"From the looks of it, it looks like leukemia."
"Oh God I have cancer?" Lena cried out.
"It appears so from the test results," the Dr., told her.
"But?" Lena pressed him as she noticed her appeared to be hiding something.
"Miss Luthor," the Dr. began.
"Tell me," Lena demanded.
"You have all the signs pointing to cancer, but your body isn't reacting to any of the treatments I sued on the samples of your blood."
"I don't understand," Lena said as she tried her hardest not to cry.
"I'm afraid simple chemo won't do," the Dr. told her sadly.
"So no matter what we try and do I'm going to die?" Lena asked as a tear fell from her eye.
I'm so sorry," the Dr. offered her.
"How long do I have?" Lena asked her voice growing cold.
"Miss Luthor," the Dr. began.
"How long?" Lena snapped.
"Six months at the most," the Dr. told her.
"Oh God," Lena cried out.
"Once again I'm very sorry," the Dr. told her as he patted her shoulder before exiting his office.
Lena waited till the door closed before grabbing the file sitting in his desk; she looked around the empty room before opening it and reading it, her eyes growing wider and wider as she finally let the tears fall.
"So my mother finally wins," Lena said aloud as she slammed the folder down before grabbing her purse and storming out.
Lena stood in front of the church for what felt like hours, she couldn't even remember a time when she even went to church. The Luthor's certainly weren't religious by any means.
She took a deep breath as she entered, she sat in one of the empty pews as she set her purse beside her as the tears kept coming, she continued to stare straight ahead as she felt a presence next to her.
"What brings you child?" the kindly old priest asked.
"I'm dying seemed like a good place to go," Lena replied as she continued to stare straight away.
"Are you here to confess your sins?" the priest asked.
"I don't have any," Lena told him as she finally turned towards him.
"Are you certain?" he pressed.
"I'm a Luthor I always tried my hardest to be better than them, to not let the evil in bit in the end they always win."
"How so?" the priest pressed as he placed a warm hand over Lena's own.
"She's the reason I'm going to die," Lena cried out.
"I don't understand," the priest told her as he wrapped an arm around the visibly upset woman.
"She poisoned me, all the signs point to cancer, there's no cure, I will die a slow painful death," Lena cried out into his arms.
"Oh my child that is a heavy burden to carry, perhaps a husband can help lessen it?"
Lena's mind immediately went to Kara and how devastated she would be to see Lena die.
"My child?" the priest asked as he tied to make eye contact.
"I can't hurt them like that," Lena told him as she pulled away and dried her eyes. "Thank you for listening but I must be going," she said as she grabbed her purse and bolted for the door.
Lena entered her dark penthouse not bothering with any lights as she kicked off her heels, she decided a bath might make her feel a little better as she felt an intense pain shoot through her. She slowly undressed as she went to the bathroom to start the water; she jumped when she heard a light knock on the balcony door.
"It's open!" she called knowing Kara could hear her.
"Hey," Kara said shyly as she appeared in the doorway.
"Hi," Lena said with a smile as she shut off the water.
"You've been crying," Kara said as she noticed the tears stains and redness of Lena's eyes.
"Long day," Lena replied her voice hoarse as she reached behind her and unhooked her bra.
"Want to talk about it?" Kara offered as she leaned against the door.
"What I want is for you to be undressed and in this tub with me," Lena responded as she took off her panties before stepping into the tub.
Kara smiled as she quickly undressed before stepping into the warm water; she stepped behind Lena as she settled behind her before wrapping her arms around her.
"Please don't let go," Lena told her as she placed her hands over Kara's.
"Never," Kara told her as she kissed her hair.
Kara helped Lena dry off as she led her to the bedroom, where they made love all night before passing out in each other's arms.
Lena awoke with a start as an intense pain shot through her entire body; she pursed her lips as she tried to swallow the gasp that threatened to fall from her lips. She looked down at Kara who was still sleeping peacefully and as much as it broke her heart she knew what she had to do, she placed a kiss to her forehead before grabbing her stuff and leaving.
Kara awoke with a smile as she reached for Lena; she frowned when she felt nothing but cold sheets.
"Lena?!" Kara called as she turned on a beside lamp, she frowned when she noticed some stuff missing, such as Lena's laptop, some jewelry, and her favorite picture of the two of them.
She was about to call Alex, when her phone rang, "Lena?" she sked as she answered.
"Miss Danvers? This is Jess."
"What's up?" Kara asked as she sat up.
"I think something happened to Miss Luthor," Jess said her voice shaking.
"What do you mean?" Kara asked as she began to get dressed.
"She never showed up for work and well her office is completely empty," Jess told her.
"What do you mean?" Kara asked her voice cracking.
"All her files are gone, her laptop, her personal items," Jess trailed off.
"I will be right there," Kara said as she hung up and feeling of dread in her stomach.
A/N: Sorry to end on a cliffhanger . I decided to have her show the signs of cancer without actually having it; we all know Lillian sucks anyways. Make sure to review let me know what you thinkā¦.
