CHAPTER FOURTEEN: 'Training And Betrayal'

"AGAIN." LENA INSTRUCTED, to Sam's limp body on the ground, as the girl groaned in pain and frustration.

"Ugh, what tampon do you have up your ass?" Sam asked, as she stood up and rubbed her sore back.

"Joke's on you. I don't get my periods since I can't have kids." Lena said smugly.

Sam gave Lena a tight lipped smile, before she readied her stance, a baton in hand to substitute a stake. "Very funny." She said sarcastically. "Ready to get your ass kicked, Luthor?"

Lena rose her eyebrow at her, "if I recall—"

Sam ran towards Lena, screaming as she charged at her. Lena sped out of her way, and pinned Sam to the ground with her hands behind her back, baton jabbed between her shoulders.

"Did I not tell you to not be so dramatic and scream to announce your advance?"

Sam struggled under Lena's hold against her. "Okay John Cena, I get it." Lena let her grip go, helping Sam up with an outstretched hand. "You said no super speed." Sam said with a little frown, as she got up.

"True, but you have to be prepared," Lena chastised, turning her back on Sam. "I'm sorry, I sped but—"

Sam kicked Lena's knees, until the vampire was on them. She put her in a choke hold from behind so the vampire won't get away, then mocked a stab to the heart with the baton.

"Ha!" Sam said victoriously. "Take that."

"Taking it." Lena said with defeat and a sly smile. "You've been training without me."

"I mean, I got to be prepared if my trainer's busy with her new girlfriend." Sam teased, letting go of Lena's throat and helped her up.

"Sam." Lena sighed, "We're just—"

"Friends." Sam finished the sentence with a smirk, which dropped quickly when she noticed Lena's mood drop. Lena's phone began ringing, and Sam caught Kara's name on display. The vampire quickly shut it off. "Oh no. Lena, what happened?"

Lena sighed. "You didn't hear yet? There was an accident."

Sam's eyes widened. "She's dead." She whispered.

"What? No! Sam, she's not dead, she just called me!" Lena rolled her eyes as Sam sighed in relief. Sometimes she wondered how her friend was a CEO of her own company. "She figured it out."

Sam's jaw dropped. "She's one hell of a reporter." She mumbled, "she knows now?"

"I—" Lena paused, as she remembered everything for a brief moment. The confession, the kiss, the compulsion. "I compelled her to forget."

"Oh, Lena." Sam pulled her friend into a hug, knowing how much guilt Lena would feel. For lying to Kara for her safety, and now for taking her memories. Her right to know the answers to the questions she's been asking her whole life. "I'm so sorry."

Lena sniffled, and before the vampire knew it, her eyes were streaming tears and sniffles turned into sobs.

Sam rubbed her back soothingly, "everything's going to be okay." The human comforted. "When the time's right, she will know all that she needs to."

"I—I wanted to compel her to forget me." Lena confessed. "But I couldn't, because I—"

"Because what, honey?" Sam asked, softly.

Lena's heart skipped a beat. Because what, Lena? She thought.

"Because you love the humans, Lutessa? Don't be such a fool."

"Because I'm selfish." Lena mumbled, another way to put it. "She's important to me." The vampire said, letting her hair fall around her face.

Sam smiled at Lena's implied confession of her feelings towards Kara. Whatever they may be. "She'll forgive you." The girl promised.

"I don't think it's that easy." Lena said with a shaky voice.

"She will. She's Kara Loralai Danvers, she's the most forgiving person I know. As long as the truth comes from you, she'll understand."

Lena mentally noted the advice. The truth must come from her. Not from anyone else. And sure as hell, not from Alex Danvers.

Kara's apartment door burst open, and in entered a bustling Alex and a calm Maggie. "Kara, oh my god." Alex hugged her sister, who was in the kitchen eating leftover pizza.

"Oh, god. Alex, I can't breathe." Kara gasped and her sister let her go. Kara chuckled, "nice to see you too."

"Are you feeling okay? Headaches? Pain? Oh man, I shouldn't have hugged you that tightly." Alex rushed out.

"Alex. I'm okay."

"Yeah, Danvers your sister is fine." Maggie scolded.

Alex narrowed her eyes at her girlfriend, "I didn't know you had an opinion." She bit out.

Maggie sighed, "she was just in shock," Kara's she's widened, as she shook her head no frantically to stop Maggie from talking,"but Lena handled it fine." Kara deflated.

"Lena?" Alex asked, now turning to face her younger sister. "What was she doing there?"

Kara brought the pizza up to her lips, but Alex snatched it out of her hands. "Hey."

"Don't 'hey' me." Alex said, as she bit into the pizza, much to Kara's offence. "What did I tell you about her?" Alex said with her mouthful. She sighed, as she was near the point of giving up against the blonde's stubbornness.

"She's not dangerous, Alex. She saved me today." Kara said rolling her eyes as she took her pizza slice back.

"Right. And how did she do that, exactly?" The redhead asked.

"She pushed me out of the way."

"Pushed you. Huh." Alex said, almost sounding bored and unsurprised.

"You should at least thank her! Your favourite sister is still alive."

"You're my only sister, doofus. But thanking her doesn't sound like a bad idea."

Maggie folded her arms, "really?" She asked. "Since when were you an almsgiver to Lena?"

"Again, an opinion?"

"Babe."

"You should have taken Kara for a check up." Alex seethed.

"She didn't want to!"

"It's protocol isn't it?"

"An optional one! And if you're so worried why don't you do it yourself? You have a med degree from working with the DEO."

Maggie brought her hands to her lips, the minute the three letters escaped her mouth.

Alex let out an exhale, as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She could handle scolding Kara for one night was one thing, but having her job revealed to her sister was another.

"The DEO?" Kara asked. "You're with the DEO?"

Kara knew of the DEO. Jeremiah had worked for them until a mission five years ago, deemed him a missing person. All she knew was that it was a highly confidential government organisation, thought to be non existent.

"This whole time, you've been in the DEO?" Kara asked, feeling betrayed. "It's a dangerous organisation, Alex. I thought you knew better than that! We lost Jeremiah to them—"

"Don't." Alex said through gritted teeth. "You have no right, to bring up dad. He did it for you."

"No right? Alex, you've been trying to take my right to befriending Lena!"

"Kara!" Alex shouted, before calming down at the touch of Maggie's hand on hers. "That's enough. I'm going to give you, one last chance." The redhead held up a single finger. "Stay away from her."

Alex towered over Kara, her brown eyes burning into challenging blue ones. The older sister looked her Kara's shoulder to search her kitchen bench. The box of vervain tea remained untouched.

The older Danvers sister truly hated whenever she'd fight with Kara. Her overprotective nature over the girl when she learnt of the truth behind her parents' death, grew threefold.

Initially, her resentment to protecting Kara as a teen was distinctive. But as she grew older and matured, her resentment disappeared little by little.

"Alex, I think she should rest."

"Maggie, I said I was fine. Stop treating me like a damn baby." Kara said furiously, and Maggie took a step back.

The girl wasn't offended. She was a detective after all, and knew that the younger girl was just acting out on bottled emotions. Regret filled Kara's eyes, but she remained quiet only to open the door for the couple, silently asking them to leave.

And they did.

A.N: Sorry for not updating for a while, just busy with uni work... Some things I do want to reinforce; vampirism in this story is influenced by The Vampire Diaries (ie. their weaknesses) I'm adding in some twists to their abilities (if or where I can).

DISCLAIMER! I don't own The Vampire Diaries or Supergirl, this story is merely the product of my imagination, and taking from the characters and their abilities created by the show runners is used to help bring this story to life.

Also, thank you so much for the reviews and support! I'm happy this story is intriguing to most and you guys are actually enjoying it. Again, I'm sorry for not updating and this story will be a slow burn, angsty but happy ending story! :)
