AN: This chapter takes a dark turn so discretion is advised. This is not the best. I think I should re do it, what do you all think? Thanks everyone for reading :)
2 weeks passed.
Lena still hadn't heard from Lori. She knew that she was still attending school, which was good to hear. She would have left work, grabbed Lori from school and ran but she couldn't do that. Not with Kara watching her every day and every hour. She missed her daughter so much, but couldn't do anything about it. Lena was the most powerful woman in the city.
Was.
It was a Tuesday night. The second Tuesday without doing homework with her teenage daughter. The Luthor's heart ached so much because all she wanted was to hold Lori tightly and never let her go.
Kara sat in the corner of Lena's apartment just on her computer doing assignments as if it was the most normal thing ever. The Kryptonian looked up from her computer and noticed Lena just hanging around near Lori's room.
"She's not there, you know?" Kara spoke in the silence, snapping Lena out of whatever trance she was in. Kara took a breath, "She isn't coming back. Not to you. Learn to live without her."
"It's been two weeks." Lena ground out through gritted teeth, "Where the hell is she?"
Kara shrugged, "She still attends school. Next week, she's going on a field trip to a local museum. Her grades are getting better. You can try going to see her but if you go near her at all, you will cause her unimaginable pain." Kara then paused. The laptop lid was closed and the laptop was placed beside her on the floor. The woman then took a breath, "She has a chip in her neck. Your DNA is in that chip. It is cleverly synthasised. If you go near her at all, you could kill her."
"Why? Why are you doing this?" Lena asked. She was trying to fight back tears. She could not do this. Being without her daughter broke her in two and she wasn't sure that she could carry on with the way things were.
Kara had a smug smile cross her face, "You need to embrace who you really are. You can't do that if you have your daughter in the way. Be glad I haven't killed her."
Lena wrung her hands nervously, "Stop this. Please. Just stop. I just want my daughter back. I have never done anything to deserve this. I just want to get her back." Tears fell freely down her face, "All I want is the woman I love back, and my daughter."
Kara walked over to her and hugged her, "I'm here Lena, I'm just different. I'm still the woman you fell in love with." Her voice was soft and tentative, but every word and touch felt like poison to Lena. The Luthor held her though. The Kara she had was the only one that she could hang on to, and she did.
The Kryptonian pulled away and slowly got onto one knee, "Lena Luthor, everything will be really hard, but we can get through it together. I want to be with you always. Will you marry me?"
Lena's stomach turned. "You've been infected by some weird parasite. You have to let me investigate it so I can help you and then we can have our lives together. You, me and our children." She sounded desperate, and she saw Kara's eyes cloud over.
"Here is how this is going to work." The woman growled, "You marry me or that one kid you keep talking about will end up dead. Forget about her. She's gone. She is nothing. The sooner you realize that, the better."
Lena felt like she was suffocating. She was trapped. The woman before her wasn't the woman she fell in love with. The woman she loved had gone. Losing everything hurt like hell, but Lena wasn't backing down just yet and Kara knew she wasn't.
Kara scoffed, "Okay, we do this the hard way." She growled. The look she gave Lena terrified her.
"The hard way?" Lena gasped, "What is that meant to mean?"
Kara had Lena pinned to the wall, not two seconds later and kept an arm to the terrified woman's throat. Lena was struggling to breathe and almost started begging for her life.
The parasite inside of Kara growled. Her eyes looked up and down Lena's body while Lena's breathing was heavy and fast. Deep down, Lena knew what was going to happen. She refused to go down without a fight. The woman tried pushing Kara away and when she did get out of the woman's (or the parasite's) grip, she ran as fast as she could to the door.
Just as Lena got the door open, the parsite dragged Lena back into the living room and held her on the floor and made sure that there was no way that she could move or get out of the situation. The parasite stroked Lena's cheek gently and smiled down at her, "You will be bound to me Lena. By marriage and biology."
"Kara, Kara." Lena gasped, trying to get Kara back, but with no progress, "Kara wake up and look at what you're doing. Please! Please. Stop. I'm begging you." Tears fell down Lena's cheeks. She felt like she was on fire and she couldn't do anything about it. The creature kept a firm grip on her and not a moment later, Lena's cries were silenced.
Twenty minutes later, the creature that was inside Kara and posing as her got to her feet, but all the while it kept it's eyes on Lena, "You can see your daughter on my terms." It hissed quietly.
Sure enough, the creature stuck to it's words.
Lena was taken to a location that was unknown to her as she was blindfolded the entire way there. Her hands were tied in front of her with a cable tie as she was lead to a clear window. The Luthor stood nervously as Kara kept a firm hand on her shoulder.
"Now, before you see Lori, you have to do one more thing." Kara said to her. She turned to Lena and placed both of her hands in Lena's.
A door opened behind them and in walked a priest, followed by Lilian Luthor herself. She was looking as though she had just wiped out the entire alien population. Incredibly proud.
"Mother." Lena growled, gravel was thick in her voice as she spoke, "Where is my daughter?"
Lilian took a seat in front of both women and crossed her arms, "She is safe and being educated, however, after today everything changes. You see Lori on my terms. Twice a year-"
"You can't do that!" Lena snapped, trying to get out of Kara's solid grip. The terrified Luthor looked between the pair and saw her life shatter before her. Now she understood why Winn was terrified of Kara, and why he reacted the way he did when he first told them about what future they had. A thought struck her as she stood there.
While she was unconscious she had no idea what the parasite was doing to her. Then she was reminded that it said that it would bind them both by marriage and biology. Her hands began to shake as the priest opened his bible and cleared his throat.
"I'm not doing this." Lena hissed. Fear was in her voice and Lilian reveled in it.
"You have no choice." Kara said to her, pressing her forehead against Lena's, "If you ever want to see Lori again, you do everything we say even if we tell you to reject her."
Anger blazed in Lena's eyes, "She knows I would never do that."
"If we could get the wedding over and done with." Lilian pushed.
Lena fell silent. She tried to find Kara somewhere inside those blue eyes. Her Kara, but she feared she was too late. She needed Winn, to talk to him, to ask how long this would last, because she was not going to miss out on Lori going to college and having her own kids one day.
Even if it killed her.
Eventually it came around to exchanging rings, and while Lena still had her hands bound, she promised her life, not to the parasite, but to Kara.
"I Lena Luthor, take you, Kara Danvers to be my wife, to share all that I am and all that I have for all time to come. And I promise to do all in my power to keep my love as deep and as strong as it is today." Lena felt tears climb up her throat. If Kara was in there somewhere, she wanted her to hear her. Lena held a ring in her hand and slid it down Kara's finger.
After that moment, Lori walked in. She still looked healthy and well looked after, she just seemed a little overwhelmed by emotion. The young girl was frozen for what felt like forever, "Mom…I can't get close to you…If I do it'll hurt like hell letting you go."
Lena stepped forward and as she did, Lori stepped back, "Mom please." She begged, fighting off tears, "Don't come near me."
The mother felt her heart shatter in her chest, and nodded slowly, "We'll be back together one day, we will have movie nights again. You, me and the twins." Lena ended her sentence with a small laugh, and was worried when she saw Lori frowning, "What?"
"None of that will be the same. I can only see you twice a year. I'm going abroad to a different school. I'm not allowed to use my powers. I can't do anything…" Lori then took a deep breath, "Please…Just don't see me at all…That'll make it easier…After all." The girl shrugged, "I'm not really your daughter." With that, the teen backed away and walked out of the door, leaving Lena heartbroken.
The Luthor's heart broke into a million pieces. She couldn't believe what was happening and yet it did. Lori didn't want to know her anymore because it hurt too much. Maybe in the long run, it was better that Lori didn't see her anymore because each time they would have said goodbye, it would have broken them both.
Lilian applauded, sarcastically, "Well, that's that sorted. She sees how much of a useless mom you are and doesn't want to see you again. I'll let you see her when she graduates or when she has her first child."
Lena sneered, "I don't want to see her at all, if it means that you get a kick out of me leaving her each time. I'd rather she get's on with her life and lives it. Is this all over? I'd like to go home." She sneered.
"Very well." Lilian said to her, "I'll get your Kara back to you when you live up to the family name."
A slip of the tongue.
Lilian set this all up. The parasite was her doing. All of this was. She should have known that from the start.
"You bitch." Lena sneered, making Lilian turn around.
"Excuse me?" Lilian snapped.
"You set this up. You wanted all of this to happen, all because you wanted me to embrace my inner Luthor?" Lena laughed dryly, "You've got me right where you want me, but one thing I don't understand. Why have me marry an alien?"
"Kara is the one you love. Using her as a weapon is the only way to get you to do things you wouldn't otherwise do." Lilian smiled, "And now you're mine. Enjoy life without Lori. It should give you a backbone of sorts."
Lena glared at her and watched as she walked away. Now she really needed Winn.
AN: I've written the next part set seven years in the future but I think I need to do some flashback things. what do you all think?
