Lena Luthor never could imagine that her life would change into what it was; she was happy and content with her life and she had a family that loved her. It had been several months since she had attempted to commit suicide and she continued to work through the issues that she had with the help of the Danvers and the DEO. She stopped talking with Lillian, which made a big difference, she no longer cared what the Luthor family thought of her or what having that last name meant to others. She knew that she was more than her last name after all the good work that she and Kara were doing in the world.

Kara Danvers was now her girlfriend and they continued to live together and living together helped them both move forward in their lives. Lena had someone to lean on that would never let her down and Kara had someone who she loved, who understood her more than anyone else. They loved every minute that they spent together; though there were times when they got into big fights, but they always worked through those issues together.

Alex and Maggie were there to talk or help them through some of the issues too. They treated Lena with more respect and love than she could have imagined getting from a family. And several nights a week they all got together and had dinner or a movie night. Alex and Maggie of course had finally tied the knot after a few months of deciding when and where they should get married. In the end it was a small ceremony with only close family and friends at the DEO.

Eliza was thrilled to be welcoming both Maggie and Lena to the family, she thought she couldn't have picked any better people for her daughters to have as their partners in life. Eliza knew about the issues that Maggie had had with her family not being accepting of her sexuality and she promised Maggie that if she ever needed her she would be there with no judgement only love. She also knew Lena's history from their therapy sessions together and she promised her that she would always love her and treat her with respect and kindness.

J'onn welcomed Lena into the group after some papers were signed and he had snooped a little into her mind to get more information other than that her family was horrible. He now had another daughter to look after and he swore he would do his best to prove to Lena that he was a good person to trust in times of need. He knew that Lena at first was hesitant, but she grew to trust him over time when he proved to her that he would always be there.

Winn and Lyra were just as welcoming as everyone else, Lyra even spent time with Lena teaching her some different moves to get herself out of trouble in case Lillian or Lex ever sent more assassins. Winn and Lena got along really well considering that they both loved technology and were always trying to create different and new devices to help when they could.

The only two people who had issues trusting and welcoming Lena in to the family were James and Clark, they had only experienced Lex's side of things. They didn't really know what to expect from Lena when she joined the family and was working with the DEO, but they did know that J'onn wouldn't have let her join if she was a threat or dangerous to their work. James and Clark had seen the way that Lena was trying to make up for her last name and heard from J'onn exactly what she thought about herself, which helped him determine that she was someone that they should count on. After several weeks of working together James and Clark knew that Lena really was someone to depend on and welcomed her into the family. James especially welcomed her after he found out that several of the devices he worked with as Guardian were created by her.


Kara had spent the whole day with Lena, they had decided to go to the art museum and then went for a walk around the city. Just spending time together was what they both needed, they had been working really hard lately and wanted just to be to normal people in the city. That night when Lena and Kara were having a dinner date, when Kara got a call that she and Lena were needed to come to her apartment. They were pretty much done with the meal, so they quickly paid the bill and headed into an alley so that Kara could change into her Supergirl suit and fly them back to the apartment. When they arrived, the apartment was dark and it concerned Lena, though Kara didn't seem as worried.

"What's going on?" Lena asked worried.

"SURPISE!" The family shouted as the lights came back on.

Lena stood there with her jaw hanging down, she didn't know what was going on, but she was definitely surprised. "What's going on?"

"Happy Birthday honey." Kara said as Alex and Maggie came forward with a cake.

"How did you know?" Lena asked.

"It's my job to know when your birthday is. And J'onn might have mentioned that you were thinking about it yesterday."

"J'onn!"

"Sorry. I don't normally listen, but yesterday you seemed a little worried." J'onn stated.

"Well normally Lillian or Lex try to…well they try to kill me on my birthday most years." Lena said softly knowing that they others wouldn't like that.

"Really?" James said surprised.

"Yeah, I was kind of surprised they didn't try today."

"Clark and I might have threatened them." Kara said as she gave Lena a hug and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you both." Lena said to Kara and Clark.

"Happy Birthday." Clark said with a smile.

"Come blow out your candles." Eliza said as she hugged Lena.

"Thank you all so much." Lena said as she approached the cake. "This has been the best birthday." Lena blew out the candles and everyone clapped. Eliza cut the cake and everyone enjoyed each other's company and cake.


That night Kara and Lena were cuddling in bed when Lena could tell that Kara was thinking about something and she wondered what it could be, but she decided to let her think without interruption. Lena thought Kara might never say what she was thinking about when Kara turned to face her.

"Lena, you know that I love you, right?" Kara said surprising Lena with where this conversation might be leading to.

"Yes, and I love you too." Lena stated to Kara. Kara suddenly stood up and then disappeared, leaving Lena to wonder what was going on. Kara suddenly re-entered the room, kneeled by the bed; Lena sat up and moved to sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what Kara was thinking about.

"Lena, I know that we've only been together several months, but I love you. You are everything to me and I wouldn't survive if I ever lost you. You make me so happy feel so loved. I would do anything for you. And I will continue to prove to you that you are loved and cared about and deserve the most love in the world. Will you be my wife?" Kara asked as she opened the box that was in her hand in front of Lena.

"Kara…" Lena didn't know what to say at first, but she knew the answer to Kara's question. "Yes! Yes, I would love to be your wife." Kara took the ring out of the box and put it on Lena's ring finger and kissed her soundly.

"I love you." Kara said when they broke apart.

"I love you too."


Lena finally knew and felt that she was cared about and loved, she finally had the family that she had always wanted, and she was finally going to get rid of her last name. Lena never thought she would have all that she did and though the journey to this point had been hell, she wouldn't change it for the world. It lead her to Kara and the life that she now had with her.
