Day 1
There wasa crowd around them that day.
Alexwould usuaully go to lunch a little later than her sister, mostlybecause she would be near her locker talking to some girls from herMath class and since they weren’t the biggest fans of Kara, it wasbetter if the two words didn’t colide.
Everydayshe would find Kara with her two best friends, Winn and James, exceptthat day there was another girl sitted with them. She had pale skin,big and enthusiastic green eyes, and her long black hair wascontained in a french braid, she looked shy but her eyes were glowingas she watched Kara move her arms while telling a story.
As Alexaproached the table the girl looked at her, still amazed at the newfriends she made.
“Hey,Alex!” Kara said turning to her sister, that was now sitting by herside. “I’d like you to meet, Lena Luthor. She has just moved in toMidvale and she is officially in our group of friends now!”
They alllaughed at how excited Kara was.
“Niceto meet you, I’m Alex Danvers.” She said still laughing but tryingher best to be welcoming and not scare the girl, no more than hersister already had.
Day 54
Kara washaving her first sleepover party and she couldn’t be more excitedabout it. Lena was the only guest and that would be the firstsleepover for both of them, Alex was obviously also invited sincethey shared a room, but she knew how important it was that heradoptive sister was finally making friends and socializing out ofschool, so she would try her best to be out of their way.
Thedoorbell ring and Alex heard a loud noise upstairs, a few secondswent without any sight of Kara and the bell rung again, her sisterwas probably tangled between the pajamas, like she would often be, soAlex answered the door.
Lenalooked very cute in her blue unicorn pajamas. She had a weak,uncertain smile and held a giant pillow and carried a very stuffedbackpack. As soon as Alex opened the door, the car that brought Lenaleft.
They’veknew each other for a while now so Alex had already realized Lena’smom wasn’t exactly an example. The girl wouldn’t talk about her alot, but whenever she did, there was a lot of ressentment on hervoice. In that moment, she looked annoyed, probably discussed withher mother over something.
“Unicorns?”Alex asked trying not to think about the mommy issues her sister’sbest friend had.
“Isthis ridiculous?” Lena asked suddenly anxious. “Kara said part ofthis parties were to wear fun pjs.”
‘“Itlooks perfect, actually.” Alex laughed and held the door for Lena.
“Um…Okay.” She smiled still insecure about her look.
“Sorry!I got caught up to something!” Kara rushed her way downstairs andhugged Lena.
Theychatted for a while, made a tour of the house, discussed for half ahour over the movie they would see and, when they finally decided onGrease, the girls layed on the couch, each on one side of it andtalked over every scene.
Alexhaven’t said a word the whole night, she was really enjoying watchingthe two girls and, believe it or not, she was having fun.
They wentto sleep at two AM but the older girl decided to stay on the livingroom for a while, she was watching some crazy scientific documentaryover the Bermuda Triangle when she heard steps on the stairs.
“Hi.”
“Hi.”Alex answered turning the TV volume down. “Was it too loud?”
“No,not at all.” Lena sitted on the couch two feet away from Alex.
“Can’tsleep?”
“Idon’t sleep much.” Lena looked tired. Not only from today, buttired from everything. “Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed,by the way.”
“It’sokay, I imagined you and Kara would be talking the whole night.”Alex smiled remembering her first sleepover.
“Actually,Kara fell asleep incredibly fast.”
Theylaughed a little.
“Yeah,she does. She spends so much energy during the day that it is theonly way she has to recover.” Lena laughed.
Theysitted in silence for a while. Not really bothered by the silence oreach other’s presence, just not knowing what to say. Lena’s mouthopened and closed a couple of times, as if she was about to saysomething but decided against it last minute, Alex was curious aboutthe things she thought of saying. Alex was curious about Lena.
“Wereyou over thinking?”
“What?”
“That’swhy you couldn’t sleep?”
Lenastared at Alex, analyzing everything in her, her posture, her eyes –the intensity of them –, her expression.
“Are wefriends?” It was genuine question. Lena didn’t know if Alexconsidered her one of her friends. She was definetly friends withKara but Alex was very popular at school, she had a lot of girlfriends and Lena was almost sure she was dating on of the athletes,so why would she want to be friends with her?
“Ofcourse we are.”
Day 167
The dayAlex told Lena she wasn’t dating one of the athletes. In fact, shewas dating one of her girl friends.
Lena wasthe first one to know about Alex’s sexuality.
Day 375
Alexgraduated that day.
Lena wasdevastaded for an entire week. Of course they would keep in touch,she was her bestfriend’s sister, but she knew it wouln’t be the same.
The achethe felt on her chest just from the tought of not seeing Alexeveryday felt a lot like love.
Day 510
It wasthe first holiday Lena spent with the Danvers.
It wasalso the first holiday after Alex came out to her parents.
In themiddle of the night she and Kara sneaked in the kitchen and drank allthe eggnog that was left. She wasn’t really drunk but her toughts andwords were a lot more fluid than normal.
“Areyou in love with my sister?’
“What?Of course not!” She almost screamed at her bestfriends that wasjust beside her, also sitted on the kitchen floor.
“We’lltalk about this in the morning.”
Theytalked.
She was.
Day 2.191
“Ican’t believe we’ve grown up.” Alex said laying in the middle ofthe room of the little apartment Kara and Lena shared.
“Atleast you’ll always be older than me.”
“Veryfunny, Luthor.” Lena smiled from the couch, looking down at thewoman’s eyes that wandered around the ceiling. “Are you happy?”
Thequestion was sudden and Alex said it too fast for all the words tocome out correctly, but Lena understood them right away. In the sixyears they’ve know each other they’ve reached the point in wich theother don’t even need to say something for the other to understand.
“Whyare you asking that?” She didn’t knew what to answer so she decidedto shoot another question instead.
“I careabout you.” Alex moved her head up, supporting her body over hershoulders on the floor and looked at Lena. “When I first met you,you looked so different, you know.”
“I wassixteen.”
Alexrolled her eyes.
“Youlook happier now. I wonder if you really are or if you’re just betterat faking it.”
“I’mhappy.”
Shewasn’t lying.
Alexsmiled tenderly at her.
She hatedthat look. She hated the fact that Alex would always see her as asister. She would always look for her and love her as if they weresisters and Lena thought that was the most precious thing betweenthem but she hated it at the same time.
Alex gotup and sitted by her side on the couch, just like they used to dowhen they were teenagers everytime Lena would come for a sleepover.
Shewanted to say she loved Alex, that she has loved Alex for six yearsand that every relationship she had ended up because her heart wasalways somewhere else.
“Are wefriends?”
She askedtemptaive.
“Ofcourse we are, Lena.” Alex answered and smiled at the obviousquestion.
“Are wejust friends?”
Alexwasn’t expecting that.
Shewanted to hide it, and she has done it for a very long time, but shecouldn’t deny Lena.
Shecouldn’t deny rushing over to help her whenever she asked her to, shecouldn’t deny her shoulders for Lena to cry on everytime she had afight with her mom, she couldn’t deny holding her in her arms forhours when Lena found out her father was dead, she couldn’t denytaking her home everytime she had drank too much.
Shecouldn’t deny she loved her.
“We arewhatever you want.”
“Alex…”Lena wasn’t expecting that. She wasn’t even sure if she understoodwhat Alex said. For the first time they seemed not to read eachother’s minds.
“Whatdo you want us to be, Lena?” Alex asked throwing everything to thewind and taking a risk, she turned her body and rested her foreheadover Lena’s.
Happy AgentCorp weekend! I’m freaking out and hyperventilating, but I’ve never been happier!
So, here’s a short oneshot on how they’ve admitted they were in love.
“Are you jealous?” Alex asked already knowing the answer, Lena's face couldn't deny.
“Of course not.”
“That's not why you're acting distant the whole day?”
“We don't have anything serious, Alex. Why would I be jealous?”
That felt like being shot.
However, it was the true. Alex and Lena's relationship started as sex, some half drunk, half clothered, meaningless sex; but it didn't meant that it was still the same.
They've talked and decided it was nothing, they were just having fun, neither one looking for a relationship and it was best if no one found out. Especially Kara.
The promess of just sex lasted longer than you would expect; for almost a year they enjoyed each others bodies and left in the middle of the night with no hard feelings, no feelings at all.
Of course that didn't last.
Any of the women could tell for sure the exact moment they started to care for each other, but there was not turning back now, even though Lena Luthor wasn't ready to admit.
Alex let out a sigh and placed one hand in each side of Lena's body, holding her hands in place over the kitchen counter.
“Why would you be jealous?” Lena stared deep into her eyes, she knew it was impossible to hide something from Alex, especially the fact that she was extremely jealous of her, more specifically the new relationship she was building with her teenage crush, Vicky.
But what could she say? Their relationship didn't allowed complications.
Didn't allowed her to ask Alex how was her date last night, even though that was all she wanted to know.
Alex was still holding her in place, their bodies were glues and their foreheads were pressed together, Alex wouldn't let their mouths touch, pulling away when Lena tried to kiss her.
“Why would you be jealous of me?” she asked again and Lena remained silent. “Maybe because we see each other everyday and we have amazing, hot, out of this world sex.” they smiled “But also because you sleep so much better when I hold you. Maybe because we spend nights just watching bad TV, maybe because we really have fun together and have the same group of friends. Maybe because my mom loves you, even though you were scared she would hate you.” Lena wasn't expecting this, small tears started to form in her eyes, Alex stiffened a little but decided to continue. “Maybe because I don't give one single shit if you're a Luthor, and that's new for you. Maybe because you like me and it is scaring.”
Alex moved her head a little and their lips touched for half a second. Lena tried to close the distance one more time but Alex looked down with closed eyes.
“The point is...” Alex stared at her eyes again. “You can be jealous, you just don't have to, because I'm completely in love with you.”
Lena has been in the car for twenty eight minutes. She counted.
The windows were dark and only one of the agents followed her inside – she haven't seen Alex since they got into the elevator – the car turned to the opposite side of the police station and the FBI building so she knew something was wrong.
She was confused by the rout they made, but counting how long it took for them to arrive would give her a vague idea of where she was, even tho she was getting further from the city as she counted.
She felt the car moving slower and entering an underground garage and in that moment she was sure Alex manippulated her and brought her there to kill her. She was starting to feel okay with that situation, since, you know, at least Alex gave her a couple orgasms before murdering her, then one of the agents opened the door.
The agent didn't rushed or even made eye contact with her so got off the car slowly, her legs were long and exposed by the navy blue pencil skirt she was wearing, she took her time positioning herself outside and made her feel, at least a little, in control. The tall uniformed man started moving towards a pair of elevators near them, as she followed him she looked around and realized she was actually in a garage, there was no indication of Alex or anything that resembled a FBI facility.
Before they reached it, the elevator doors opened and another agent showed up, the woman was shorter than Lena and was wearing a different uniform than the agent that lead her there.
“Why is Ms. Luthor still handcuffed?” She asked with authority as soon as she realized Lena's hands were aprisioned behind her body. The male agent moved fast and realeased her wrists, almost as if they had orders to not hurt her.
Lena shot a suspicious but grateful look to the woman.
“I'll take it from here, Agent Stevens.”
Lena has been in situations like this more times than she'd like. She had been arrested and kidnapped before, multiple times. Altough this situation was something in the middle of these, she knew she was not getting arrested, at least not by the FBI as she tought she was, but the respect and even simpathy the agents were showing her was very different from the times she had been kipnapped.
She took a deep breath and entered the elevator, having no idea what to expect.
“Nice to meet you Ms. Luthor, I'm Agent Vasquez and I'll take you to our director.” The woman said looking at her making sure she was paying attention. “He'll explain everything.”
“I'm not being arrested, am I?” Lena asked deciding to start with simple questions.
“No, you're not.” The agent answered looking at the numbers turning red above the elevator door. They were going down even lower than the underground garage. There was something about being below the ground that bothered Lena, that's one of the reasons her office is in the top floor, other than she being the CEO and owning the whole building.
They stood in silence during the second floor and by the time the number three was lit Lena spoke again.
“Where am I?”
“This is a secret govenment facility.” Vasquez said after taking a deep breath, this was supposed to be a silent elevator ride.
“Cool.” Lena tought. She was reaching a whole new level of misterious disappearance.
And then a few pieces of this puzzle started to come together in her mind. Of course Alex worked for a secret agency, it was obvious and she tought about that a couple of times; the crazy hours she worked, the scars she had all over her body, the unexpected friendship with Supergirl, the eyes that always hid a secret, the times she woke up in the middle of the night after a nightmare.
Althought somehow Lena wanted to believe that Alex was the normal part of her life, but normal people don't have secret jobs.
Normal people don't show up at your office in the middle of the day with a warrant then handcuff and arrest you.
They reached the last floor, number 5.
Agent Vasquez nodded her head indicating that Lena should follow her; they left the elevator and Lena's eyes wandered all over the place. It was only a wide room with many shades of gray – the walls, the doors, the couches, the floor – that led to a long hall that they both followed in silence.
Lena had no control over this situation she was betrayed by one of the few people she trusted, had no idea where she was or what she was there for, however she walked down the hall as if she was a guest of honor in that place, she showed a confidence she wasn't even sure she still had. There was no expression in her face but she moved with decision as if she knew what it was all about.
In the end of the hall Lena noticed a large space with some movement and people walking around. She was sure that there was where everything happened, and was a bit disaponted when the agent stopped a couple doors before, there was a “Meeting room” sign.
“Director Henshaw is waiting for you.”
Lena nodded at the Agent and opened the door cautiously.
The middle aged man was in the head of the table, standing near the last chair. Lena closed the door behind her and approached the man.
“It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Ms Luthor. I'm Director Henshaw.” He said while she got closer, moving suspiciously in the room.
“I'd say the same but the circumstances are a little different for me.” The woman said with a harsh tone, done with the situation. “What is going on in here?”
Lena crossed her arms and stiffened her body, trying to maintain some of the authority she usually has.
“Would you like to sit down?” He said calmly reaching for the chair.
“No.”
“Ms. Luthor, you're not arrested or in any type of danger.” She destabilized in a micro fraction of second and it was enough for him to notice.
“That not an explanation for why I was taken out of my building by your agents.” She uncrossed her arms and rested her hand in the table. “What is this about, Director Henshaw?”
She was not letting herself be taken away by his authority.
“I'll go straight to the point then, Ms. Luthor, I believe you are familiar with the name Cadmus, aren't you?”
She swallowed dry and contracted her jaw.
“We have reasons to believe they would attack your company tonight to kill you.”
Lena tried her best to not show any emotion in that moment. Her body maintained at the same place and there was not one change of expression on her face, but her mind went a million miles per second. And even though Hank tried not to read people's minds without their consent it was almost impossible for him, her toughts were so loud and chaotic that he couldn't help but listen.
It didn't mattered how many times she was betrayed the feeling was always the same, there was something in her that expected the change, that expected people would realise their mistakes, that expected her own mother would think twice before planning her assassination.
“What led you to think that? Other than her previous attempts, of course.”
“We've been tracking Cadmus for a while now and got to find one of their communication lines. It has been silent for a couple months but along with some movements in the previous base of Cadmus it got active again. We've been following their activity and, besides updating our database on what kind of technology they have, there was nothing that we could actually follow. Until this morning, they were planning an attack on your building that would most definetly kill all your employees and multiple civillians around.”
Until this morning.
She woke up alone in bed that morning.
“I'd like to hear it. The audio that prove they planned the attack.”
Lena was unexpectedly confortable in this situation, she felt like she had authority enough to make commands like this one, she knew they needed her for something otherwise they would just try to prevent the attack, the fact that they wanted her to know it was happening meant something. Hank walked towards the table and pressed a button on the phone in it.
“Would you please bring me all the proofs we have of the attack on L Corp?”
He turned off the call and glanced at Lena. She was inspecting the entire room, her eyes moved from the windows to the mirror, back to the table and the to the files on a side table on the opposite side of the room. In the cover of the file she could read “DEO”.
“You're not interested in knowing who we are?” He asked surprised by her lack of interest.
“I'm sure any government agency would like to use me as a bait to arrest Lilian.” He raised an eyebrow.
“We're not planning of using you as a bait.”
“Then why am I here?”
“We're planning on protecting you.” There was not one single change on her expression but he knew she was confused.
“If there is actually a planned attack on my company, I should be there. Not being held in this facility while hundreds of my employees are in danger.”
“They are not in danger anymore.”
“Well, do you suddenly have the power to stop whatever my mother is planning against L Corp?” She mocked.
“Ms. Luthor, your mother is not planning an attack against L Corp.” He choose his words carefully, he knew how hurt she was, even though she weren't showing. One didn't even had to read minds to know that. “The attack is against you.”
Lena's eyes widened for half a second.
“If you're not in the building, there will be no attack.”
“And should I take you word as a proof?” Lena shoot in defense.
In that moment, Alex entered the room.
Lena turned quickly to the door and when their eyes met she felt an instant urge to run. She couldn't be there, she couldn't be in the same room with Alex without breaking apart. And that was the last thing she could do.
“Director, I brought the Cadmus audios you requested.”
“Would you play them for Ms Luthor, please?”
Alex was still looking at Lena, the CEO had broke the eye contact, but she couldn't help but stare at her, she wanted to hug her and apologize for everything, but she knew she couldn't do that. She wasn't sure if she could ever do that again.
She walked to the table and rested the laptop on it, with a nod from Hank, she pressed play.
Lena was still looking at the ground when she heard a male voice on the audio.
She didn't recognized the voice, but she knew the address he was saying.
“It will take less than ten minutes. We'll reach the building from the top. My men are willing to go down in this operation, this will be big.”
Silence.
“It is not meant to be big.” Lilian's voice spoke annoyed.
Lena immediately felt tears, she looked at Alex, with the previous memory of confort, but quickly turned around and faced the wall.
“You only have one target. She will be in the top, that is all you need to reach. This is in your hands, do you understand?”-
The audio stopped suddenly, as if the line were cutted or disconected.
Lena stood in silence and facing the wall. Thinking about what she heard. About what she would say.
“Ms. Luthor, I believe now you understand why we had to bring you here.”
“There is a lot of things I don't understand, Director.” She took a deep breath and faced him again. Hank knew thatthat was about Alex, Lena's mind was still processing the reason Alex didn't planned this with her, why she haven't told her anything. Why wasn't she a part of this plan? Did things always needed to be decided on her back? “I don't think hiding is the solution.”
“It is. It is the only thing that will keep you alive.” His mind was racing just by looking at Lena and contracting her toughts. “The rest of the world thinks you were arrest for fraud. That prevents today's attack and will give us time to plan what to do next. And more importantly, will give you some more days.”
“Arrested for fraud? What?” Lena was furious, she massaged her temples as a last resource to keep her sain. “That will ruin my company and my reputation, but of course no one tought about that.”
“Our only worry was your life. Not your company. The decision was already made, Ms. Luthor.” Hank left the room.
Alex was in the middle of the cross-fire.
She betrayed Lena, but she knew she did that for the right cause. Alex knew the woman, of course she was mad that someone else decided what was best for her behind her back, but she would eventually realize that it was the only thing to be done.
Lena was broke, and she hated seeing her like that. She hated being the one that caused that.
“Did you knew that?” Lena suddenly asked, taking Alex by surprise.
“Not until this morning.”
They stared at each others eyes, both of them filled with tears, looking for sincerity.
Alex couldn't stay there any longer. She made a decision, she opted for protecting Lena at all costs, even if that would hurt her.
And she didn't regretted that. She couldn't, not now.
“We'll keep you here, provide you everything you need and protect you for as long as we believe it's necessary. An agent will come see you in a bit.” Alex moved towards the door and as her hand reached for the knob Lena spoke.
“Goodbye, Alex.”
The Agent left without looking back.
(Thanks for reaching this point. Send me your suggestions and I’ll try to incorporate them to the story!)
