Chapter Fourteen

Return

Smallville Estate

Neil stared at his father, frowning a little at seeing the man there. He glanced down at the drink in his hand wondering if he had too much to drink. Seemingly reading his mind, his father spoke.

"I'm really there Neil, not a figment of your imagination."

"How?" Neil asked, knowing the man was supposed to be in jail.

"You really think that I was going to stay in jail for long?" Lex laughed.

"Then why six months?" Neil asked.

"I've paid my fines," Lex told him, "Seems only six months were left in my sentence."

"Oh," Neil said.

"Ah yes, I am back on the outside world," Lex said, leaning back into the chair.

"What are you going to do now then?"

"I'm going to become a Humanitarian," Lex answered, "Those few months in jail had showed me the errors of my ways."

"Oh really?"

Lex smiled.

"I have to tell the press something anyway," he said, "but my main concern is the Supergirl."

"You're going to kill her?"

"Kill is such a brute world," Lex said, "No I want to remove her. I want the word to see what kind of threat she could be…opposed to us."

"Only you see her as such," Neil told him.

Lex turned toward him.

"Ah, yes she saved your life didn't she?" he said smiling a little, "Did you have a change of heart about her Neil?"

"I'm not her enemy," Neil answered curtly, "but I'm not her friend."

Lex looked at him blankly for a few minutes before looking at the window.

"I'd expect nothing less from a Luthor."

With that he left the room, leaving Neil standing alone in the office.

Wayne Manor

Barbara woke finding her body wrapped in her bed sheets, snuggling against something that was really warm. She raised her head glancing around. Bright sunlight entered through her window, and she glanced at her clock.

11: 45 A.M.

It was then her eyes found the person that was shearing her bed with her. Lara Kent looked utterly adorable in her sleep. Barbara could feel a grin on her lips as she watched the other girl sleep, memories of last night coming back to her. Then she leaned in and kissed the corners of Lara's lips.

The latter sighed, murmured something incoherent but didn't wake up. Barbara smiled sweetly and placed another kiss this time on her neck and started to put feather light kisses in a trail.

Lara's blue eyes then opened looking around sleepily.

"Morning," Barbara greeted.

"Hey," Lara whispered a small smile growing on her lips, "Did you sleep well?"

"I sleep very well," Barbara answered her kissing her lips.

Lara responded it, deepening it.

But the two were interrupted by someone knocking at the door.

"Mrs. Gordon, are you awake? It almost noon and breakfast is getting cold," Alfred's voice said through the door.

"Sorry Alfred, I'll be right out," Barbara said, raising her voice so she could be heard, "and made something for Lara too."

"As you wish," Alfred answered.

Barbara got out of bed.

"Can I use your shower?" Lara asked seating up.

"Yeah sure," Barbara said, "It's that door."

Lara entered the shower and turned the water on. She listened to the drop falling and she started to feel guilt rising through her, clawing at her heart. Even thought she had enjoyed herself last night with Barbara, a part of her wished that it had been Diana that had been with her, that it was Diana's body against hers…

Lara, for once in her life, wished she didn't say yes, but with the strong feelings she had for Barbara made her act on them.

Maybe…maybe this was how it was meant to be, she thought.

When she was done, Lara stepped out of the room finding Barbara dressed in loose pants and a shirt. She had put the clothes from last night on, and her shoes.

"I have to go," she told Barbara.

The latter looked at her confused, "You're not going to stay for breakfast."

"No, I really have to get home," Lara told her.

"You're not…regretting last night are you?" Barbara asked her.

A nab of guilt gnawed at her inside, which she ignored not wanting it to show on her face.

"I'm not," Lara said, "Trust me…I'm not, it's just my parents have no idea where I am since I didn't come home last night and I'm going to be so grounded."

Barbara showed her a smile, "Okay, let me show you out then."

The two walked out of the room, and downstairs. Lara heard Alfred talking on the phone with someone as the two passed the kitchen hallway and arrived into the Entrance of the Manor.

"Call me okay?"

Lara kissed her deeply before breaking it.

"I will."

After that she took off in super speed, zooming through the streets of Gotham and out of the city, passing Metropolis and arrived in Smallville and entered her house, heading straight for her room.

"Lara, is that you?" her mother's voice called.

"Yeah, it's me," Lara answered her, picking up her phone checking for missed calls and was surprised that Neil had called her.

Her mother entered the room, seeing her there.

"Is everything alright dear?"

"I'm great," Lara answered her.

"You sure?"

"I'm fine Ma, really," Lara told her, making her way toward the closet.

"Really?"

Lara pulled out the Supergirl outfit out of the closet and Ma Kent's hand landed on her shoulder causing the girl to pause in her actions.

"Are you sure everything is alright Lara?" Ma Kent's voice asked, "I know when something is troubling Lara."

Lara turns toward her mother, the woman who had raised her since she was small. If there was someone that could give her some advice, it would be the woman in front of her right now. Lara put the outfit on the bed, as she sat down.

"I…I don't know if everything is alright Ma," she said.

"Talk to me Lara," Ma Kent said, seating down with her.

"I…I love someone," Lara said, "In Gotham."

"That's great, I assume," Ma Kent said, "But…I can tell that this isn't the problem."

"The problem," Lara said, "I'm not sure if it's really a problem…part of me feels guilty because I feel like I'm…I cheated on Diana."

"Did you?"

"I don't know," Lara sighed, "I…I know Diana loves me from where she is and I love her…but loving someone else…makes me feel guilty."

"Lara, you've got your life to live," Ma Kent told her, "Diana can't be with you because she is somewhere else and you've got someone who loves you…"

"That's what Chloe told me," Lara said, "But what if she is wrong?"

"I don't believe she is," Ma Kent told her, "Let these things unfold. You never going to be sure of what life got for you farther down the road."

"Great, Ma Kent said, "Now you want some breakfast?"

"No," Lara said, "I'm going to fly around for a bit."

"Oh! Okay."

Lara left the house.

YEah, not much going on again...or is there? nudge nudge wink wink XD

Enjoy anyway.
