Sitting on the sofa working on her latest article Kara couldn't stop smiling as she listened to Lena give Andrew his bath. She would never get tired of listening to the way the two of them laughed together, it was like listening to a song where the melody and harmony were perfectly paired. Splashes were followed by laughter, water poured over his dark hair led to giggles, and soft sighs meant warm cuddles wrapped in fluffy towels and Mommy's arms. Lena wasn't even in the room and Kara felt herself falling a little more in love with her.

Now she heard the padding of bare feet. Lena's as she carried Andrew to his room to dress him, then little one's as they ran away, out of the room, down the hall, and towards the stairs. Kara got up and went to the stairs just in time to see her very naked son laughing his little head off as he made his way carefully down the stairs.

"He's escaped!" Lena said laughing as she appeared at the top of the stairs.

"So I see." Kara replied. "Careful, Drew, hold the railing, one step at a time."

Andrew got to the last couple of stairs and then jumped at Kara. Thankfully with her reflexes and superspeed he was an easy catch. "All clean Mama!"

Kara laughed. "Where are your clothes?"

"In Mommy's hand." Drew said as he pointed up at Lena.

Lena held up a pair of underoos, a pair of shorts, a pair of socks, and a blue t-shirt. When she reached the two loves of her life she shoved them at Kara. "You dress the little streaker."

Kara took the clothes from her wife and laughed. "Come on buddy, let's get you dressed, you don't want to be naked when Auntie Sam and Auntie Alex and Ruby get here do you?"

Andrew nodded. "Yes."

"What are you a little nudist?" Kara laughed.

"Yes." Andrew said, laughing because his mama was laughing.

Lena stood back and watched Kara dressing their son while biting her bottom lip, waiting.

"There you go." Kara said as she pulled the t-shirt over Andrew's head. "All dres…"

The t-shirt had a cartoon version of the Supergirl crest on the front and a little red cape attached at the shoulders. Above the crest were the words, Super Big Brother. Kara's eyes went wide. When she turned to look at Lena her wife was holding a little red onesie with the crest on it, the words, Super Baby Luthor, and the smallest little red cape attached to it. "Lena?"

Lena simply nodded as tears welled in her eyes.

Kara flew off the couch and landed in front of her wife. "You're pregnant?"

"I'm pregnant." Lena said with a nod.

"We're having a baby?" Kara asked next.

Lena laughed with such pure joy. "We're having a baby."

Kara kissed her wife and then picked her up and spun her around just as she had when Lena had told her the embo had been viable. "We're having a baby!"

Since Sam already knew, it was Alex's reaction they waited for next. When they arrived Andrew launched himself at Sam first because Sam was his favorite at the moment. He was starting to get a bit of a stubborn streak which led to his mothers sometimes having to ask him more than once or twice to do something or not to do something, but all Sam had to do was ask once and he would do it with a bubbly, "Yes Auntie Sam."

As Andrew snuggled into Sam, nuzzling his little nose against her neck after kissing her cheek, Alex chuckled softly. "If I didn't know any better bud I'd think you were trying to steal my woman."

Andrew peaked at his aunt from over Sam's shoulder and gave her a grin that was all Lena.

Alex laughed harder. "Crap. I think he really is trying to steal my woman."

"Aww," Sam said as she moved over to Alex to kiss her. "Don't be jealous."

It was actually Ruby who noticed Andrew's shirt before Alex did. "Hey Drew, what does your shirt say?"

The little boy strighted up in Sam's arms and stuck his chest out. "I'm a super big brother!"

Alex looked over at her sister and Kara nodded. A huge smile appeared on the older Danvers' face as she went to hug Kara and Lena. There were hugs and kisses and congratulations given as the excitement about the new addition to their family grew. Ruby seemed to be even more excited than expected.

"So the baby is both Aunt Lena's and Aunt Kara's?" She asked as they settled in to eat dinner together. At the confirmation that the new baby was both of theirs Ruby squealed delightedly. "That's great! That means my moms can have a baby together!"

Sam choked on the sip of wine she'd just taken. "Baby?" She gasped as she cleared her throat. "You want me and Alex to have a baby?"

Ruby nodded. "I'm sixteen, Mom. I'm going off to college soon."

Sam groaned softly. "Don't remind me."

"This could be your second chance, ya know?" Ruby continued. "You're an amazing mom, and so is Alex, you should get to raise a kid together from the start."

Alex and Sam just looked at each other for a long time.

There were mockups of the next issue all over the coffee table as well as Lena's open laptop which displayed diagrams and notes from a grant proposal she needed to review, and an open skype window. Lena used the marker in her hand to X out what she didn't like on a magazine page while listening to Sam talk about the meeting she'd had with the zoning board that morning. "Clement is an old hardass." Lena said to Sam while reaching for another mockup. "He's going to hold out simply because you're a woman. He knows a good deal when he sees one. Keep pushing it."

"Oh I have every intention of pushing him on this." Sam replied. "But I swear if he calls me sweetheart in that condescending way of his one more time I'm going to melt his toupee with a stare."

Lena laughed softly. "Now now Sam."

"Excuse me, Ms. Luthor?" Eve said as she came into the office. "There's someone…"

"Hello Lena dear."

Lena's head snapped up and her jade eyes went wide. That was a voice she'd never thought she'd hear again. Standing, she glared at the woman who'd just walzed into her office. "Erica."

"It's been awhile." Erica said with a fake smile.

"Not long enough." Lena said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "What are you doing here?"

"Lena?" Sam's voice called out from the laptop. "Everything alright?"

Erica walked over and casurally closed the laptop as she said, "You've grown up a lot since the last time I saw you. You're positively stunning, Lena. I must admit I was still expecting the gangly little nerd in the boarding school uniform."

"I was fifteen when Lex.." Lena began but was cut off.

"Lena?" Kara said as she walked into the office. "Everything alright?"

Erica stopped prowling the room to turn and look at the new comer. "Excuse you. This is a private conversation. Who do you think you are bragging in on…"

"I'm Kara Danvers-Luthor." Kara said as she took her place at Lena's side. "Who the hell are you?"

Erica looked the blonde up and down. "Erica Luthor."

Lena snorted. "The hell you are. Kara, this is Erica del Portenza. Lex's ex-wife."

Knowing this woman had a link to Lex made Kara move from beside Lena to in front of her, putting herself between the woman and her pregnant wife. "Lena, do you want this woman here?"

"Not particularly." Lena answered.

"You have three choices here Ms. del Portenza." Kara said fimly. "You can leave on your own, I can call security to have to escorted out, or she can escort you out."

Kara jerked her head towards the balcony where Astra hovered with her cape billowing in the breeze and her arms crossed over her chest. Sam's suit was black with red and blue accents. The boots, bracers, and shoulder pieces made to look like armor made it look even more intimidating. So did the mask she wore over her eyes.

"Ahh, one of the infamous Kryptonians of National City." Erica said as she eyed the hero known as Astra. "I suppose the blonde one isn't far behind. Really Lena. Your mother must be so disappointed in the company you keep."

"I think in this case Mother wouldn't have any issues if I allowed Astra to throw you off the balcony." Lena said with a snort. "I'm pretty sure the only thing she hates more than aliens is you."

"I had really hoped this would go differently." Erica said as she moved towards the door to leave.

"Then you must be in deliational." Lena told her. "One of the rare things Mother and I ever agreed on was how toxic you were for Lex. My first glass of champagne was raised in toast to him throwing you out and divorcing you."

"Lex would have realized that was a mistake." Erica growled softly. "He loved me."

"And you hurt him." Lena hissed.

"You need to leave." Kara said when she heard Lena's heart rate spike. "Now."

Sam landed on the balcony and stepped into the office. "Are we having an issue listening to Mrs. Luthor? You were told to leave."

"Mrs. Luthor." Erica spat at Kara. "You don't deserve to be called that."

Kara stepped up to the woman, glaring at her. "Leave. Now."

Once they were finally alone Kara turned to Lena. "Are you ok?"

"Shaken but ok." Lena said honestly as she sank onto the couch. "I really never thought I'd see her again."

"She gave me a bad vibe." Sam said when she rejoined them after making sure the woman was gone.

Lena chuckled softly. "She must have to make you fly over here in uniform in the middle of the day. Thank you."

"What's her deal?" Kara asked as she sat beside her wife.

Lena sighed. "She broke him, she was the start of his downward spiral into madness."

It wasn't the Kryptonian she'd been expecting to show up but it was proof nonetheless that Lena was the perfect bait to draw them out. Getting rid of the Kryptonians would be the perfect first step in finally getting Lex back. They could finally be happy and have the life they'd dreamed off, maybe even the little girl she'd always promised him.

"Harold." Erica said from the backseat of her car. "Make arrangements to have Miss Luthor picked up."

"Yes Mrs. Luthor." The lug of a man replied.

Lena's mind was racing. There was an uptick in CADMUS activity. The discovery of Lex's clone. And now Erica of all people shows up after more than a decade? There was no way those things weren't connected. She drummed her fingers on her desk for a few moments before picking up her phone. She opened what looked like a digital chess game and pressed her finger to the fingerprint reader on the phone. The game gave way to the logo of a white Knight chess piece. Lena opened a new message and typed out, 'Possible new player. Erica del Portenza formerly Luthor. Confirmed location National City.' and sent it off. The response that came back came along with an icon that looked like a black queen piece. 'We'll look into it.'

Lena closed the program and stood from her desk. After gathering her things she said goodnight to Eve and left to head home.

When Kara made it home that night she found Andrew sitting on the floor with this look on his face that was somewhere between his thinking face and his pooping face. She chuckled softly as she crouched down beside him. "Hey buddy. What'cha doing?"

"Trying to be green like Pops." Andrew said without opening his scrunched closed eyes.

Kara laughed as she scooped him up to hug him.

"Mama!" Andrew protested. "You broken my con-sin-tray-son."

"I'm sorry bud." Kara replied. "I'm just really happy to see you. Where's Mommy?"

"Not home yet." Andrew said as he extracted himself from his Mama's arms and went back to trying to into a martian.

Kara frowned at that. Standing she called out for their nanny, who happened to be Vasquez's younger sister. When Elana told Kara that Lena wasn't home nor had she called to say she'd be late, Kara felt her heart squeeze painfully in her chest. "Can you stay a little longer?" She asked the young woman. "I'll send someone over as soon as I can but I need to check on something."

"Of course Mrs. Luthor." Elana replied with a nod.

As soon as Supergirl was in the air she called Alex on her earpiece. "Alex, something's wrong. Lena's missing. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone after that woman showed up today. Damnit."

"Calm down, Kara." Alex's voice replied. "We'll find her."

This wasn't the first time Lena had been kidnapped so normally she wouldn't be quiet as frightened and worried as she was. She was scared because of the green glow coming from the rock on the table across from where she was shackled on the floor. The child she carried was half Kryptonian. It took everything in Lena not to cover her stomach protectively but she didn't want to tip off her kidnappers to her condition.

"You loved Lex so much." Erica said as she came out of the shadows to sit in a chair facing Lena. "You adored your big brother. The way you use to look at him, like he'd hung the moon and stars in the sky just for you." She stared at Lena for a moment. "How could you have turned your back on him like this? Befriending aliens? Allowing his most promising piece of work to be handed over to some sad sorry little man in Metropolis? Allowing him to continue rotting away in some secret prison?"

"The Lex I loved died when you cheated on him and bore another man's child." Lena spat. "Did you really think you could pass Luca off as a Luthor? Did you really think my Mother wouldn't run a paternity test?" Lena shook her head. "The man sitting in that cell isn't my Lex."

"I should kill you once I'm finished with your friends." Erica hissed. "But I'll save you for Lex. I'm sure he'd rather punish you himself."

Lena swallowed hard but continued to look defiant, confident. She had nightmares about what Lex might do to her if he ever got out, what he would do to her and to her half alien children. Lena felt a wave of nausea hit her, but she wasn't sure if it was from her fear or the smell of fried chicken that suddenly filled the space.

"Harold." Erica groaned as she stood and walked towards the large oaf. "You were suppose to be lurring the capes here not stopping for chicken."

Why hadn't Lena used her watch? Kara wondered as she hovered over the city listening, listening for the signal watch Lena wore, listening for her heartbeat, the sound of her voice. Why wasn't Lena letting her know where she was? They knew that Lena had been picked up from CatCo in her normal car, but then they discovered Eugene, her driver, in a corner of a nearby parking garage. He was out cold but alive. They'd tracked Lena's car but found it abandoned. She could be anywhere.

There. Lena's heartbeat, rapid, frightened. Supergirl opened her eyes and began flying towards it. She didn't think, she just flew. She had to get to Lena.

Supergirl crashed through the ceiling and as soon as she landed almost instantly went down on her knees.

"Supergirl!" Lena called out.

"Ahh, there you are." Erica said as she walked towards the blonde on her knees. Grabbing Supergirl by the hair she pulled her up to see the symbol on her chest. "The one who wears the S."

Supergirl struggled in the presence of kryptonite but managed to get to her feet despite the pain. Grabbing hold of Erica's wrist she squeezed until the woman cried out in pain and let go of her hair. She continued to squeeze until Erica was the one on her knees. "Ms. Luthor?" She called out, every muscle in her body on fire and trembling. "Are you alright?"

"Yes." Lena replied. "Supergirl, I'm alright."

"You're lucky." Supergirl told Erica. "That's she's fine."

"Supergirl look out!" Lena cried out.

Harold hit her like a mac truck. Supergirl went flying across the room while Erica cradled her broken wrist. Getting to her feet the dark haired woman picked up the kryptonite and began walking towards Supergirl with it. The closer she got the more Supergirl struggled against the pain it caused her. "Once I kill the lot of you filthy Kryptonians Lex will love me again!"

"Lady. You have issues." Ruby said as she landed between the crazy lady and Supergirl.

The girl wore black cargo pants, military style boots, and a black t-shirt with the same circles symbol as the Kryptonian from the balcony under what looked like a black work shirt. Erica held the glowing green rock closer to her as she sneered. "Who are you supposed to be?"

"I'm Astra Girl." Ruby answered. "I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you but your hurting my friends so it's totally not." Tilting her head a little she watched the woman for a second and said, "Are you trying to use that rock to hurt me? Na, sorry loser, it doesn't work on me."

"Enough banter there Astra Girl." Alex's voice said over Ruby's comm.

Sam's voice came next. "Get the rock out of there."

Ruby rolled her eyes and groaned softly so only those on her comms could hear her. "Moms."

Erica blinked and the rock was suddenly out of her hand and in the girl's. "How…"

"Superspeed, duh. Anyway, I'm going to go now." Ruby said with a smile. "And you're really really going to regret taking Ms. Luthor and hurting Supergirl, cause you've really really pissed her off."

"Who?" Erica said despite herself.

Ruby began flying up just as someone landed behind Erica. "Her."

Spinning around Erica turned just in time to get punched in the face by Sam.

With the kryptonite out of play Supergirl staggered to her feet. She was weak but she wasn't going to let that stop her. "Astra." She growled out as she began walking towards where Astra and Erica were fighting. "She's mine. Deal with him."

Sam saw the wall of a man charging at Kara again and nodded. She flew at him, crashing into him, sending him flying.

Kara advanced on Erica and before the woman had a chance to even think of running she had her by the throat. Kara had always been protective of Lena even when they were just friends. She was always putting herself between Lena and whoever might be threatening her. Lillian Luthor, Morgan Edge, a protester's misguided bullet, it didn't matter, all that mattered was protecting Lena. Now that Lena was her wife, the mother of their son, and now carrying their second child… Kara's eyes began to glow red.

Lena whispered so only Kara could hear her while Ruby helped to free her. "I'm alright love. We're alright. Kara, baby, we're ok. She's not worth it, love. Please, calm down, we're ok."

Kara's jaw clenched. Her eyes went back to normal and she tossed Erica towards Alex who'd stormed in with her tactical unit. Then she went to Lena, looked into her eyes, and fell to her knees. She pressed her face into Lena's stomach as she wrapped her arms around her, and then choked back a sob when she felt Lena wrap her arms around her head holding her in place. She listened, to Lena's heartbeat and to their baby's, letting the sounds of those precious beats calm and reassure her.

Lena and Kara were both rushed to the medbay. Kara to go under the sun lamps and Lena to make sure she and the baby were ok. Once she was given the all clear Lena went to Kara's side and held her hand.

"I'm sorry." Kara said softly, unable to look at Lena. "I scared you."

"You were afraid." Lena said understandingly as she made Kara turn her head and look at her. "You wanted to protect us."

"The baby?" Kara asked as she looked up at Lena.

Lena smiled reassuringly. "The baby's fine. I'm fine. We're ok, Kara."

"I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." Kara said with tears in her eyes. "Any of you."

Lena leaned down and kissed Kara to reassure her that she was there and she was fine.

That night with Kara's head resting on her stomach as she slept, Lena received a message from the black queen piece which read, 'Thanks for the tip. Broke up CADMAS splinter cell. Been after The Contessa for awhile. Also, son turned out to be serial killer, picked him up in Midway. Neither will see light of day again. Well done, White Knight.'

In a stark white room in a place that doesn't exist Erica del Portenza sat on the hard floor with her knees drawn to her chest, her arms wrapped around her knees, and her forehead resting on her thighs. When the door of her cell opened she looked up and spat, "Tell Waller to go to hell! I'm done talking."

When the guard who'd opened the door stepped aside it wasn't who Erica was expecting that walked in. "Hello Erica."

Erica gasped and scrambled to her feet. "Mother Luthor."

Lillian snarled at the woman. "I always hated when you called me that." She walked over to the woman and backhanded her. "How dare you!"

"Lillian." Erica pleaded. "I tried…"

"I don't care about what you tried." Lillian replied. "How dare you harm my daughter!"

Erica blinked. "Lena… She… She isn't…" For a moment Erica didn't corwer. She was angry. Was Lillian really defending that traterious bitch? "She's the reason you're in here!"

Lillian smiled. "I know." She said proudly. "Tricking me the way she did, it was incredibly clever." Then her smile turned back into a sneer as she looked into Erica's eyes. "I warned you about coming near my family again." Lillian hissed. Jerking her head towards Erica Lillian moved away to allow the guard access to the woman. "I hear your wrist got smashed in your ill attempt to take on Supergirl. Let's see what other bones we can break."

"Please." Erica begged. "She betrayed you! Why are you doing this!"

"She's my daughter." Lillian answered simply. "I love her, and I still believe she has potential. My being here proves it. Has she gone a little astray? Yes. But if anyone is going to teach her a lesson or punish her it'll be her mother, not some two bit whore who used and hurt her brother."

Erica watched Lillian walk out the door and close it. Then she looked at the guard with utter fear. Only a Luthor could go after a Luthor. Anyone else who dared to would suffer for their mistake.


Erica del Portenza was Lex's wife from a story way back in the mid 90s. She was known as the Contressa and in that story arch she was actually Lena's mother in that version with Lex being her father. The 90s were weird for comics lol. Lex ended up killing her when she tried to take his daughter from him by blowing up the island she lived on. That's one way of getting sole custody lol.
