    Summary

    Lena lives in a world of bright, indescribable colors. She walks calculated paths among webs of lasers radiating from every person she sees. She avoids large gatherings where the atmosphere becomes a dizzying mess of psychedelic flares and smoke, but she treasures every individual as the sum of their parts: the auras glowing tight around their wrists.

    Her mother calls them “soul bonds,” a magical manifestation of the connection between souls that only their bloodline can see. Lena calls them “ribbons.”

Kara, who is escaping from an unknown threat, brings along a child Lena was unaware of.

    Summary

    Alex sees her, the dark haired woman with the love affair. She watches the dramatics of each goodbye, the intimacy of each greeting. She almost wishes she hadn’t discovered it at all.

    Though the actions are entirely one-sided it feels mutual. It’s as though the Girl is contributing to the relationship. The steely demeanor of her eyes, the stiffness of her limbs, it all seems to crumble in the presence of the mysterious woman. The woman with the sad eyes and hopeful air.

    Alex can see the loneliness around her, yet she watches as it dissipates once the Girl of Steel is within reach.

    Summary

    Lena Luthor, a titan of industry, buys and sells land with mechanical precision. Her life has been reduced to a never-ending cycle of numbers and percentages, her heart now dedicated solely to her brother. Weary and disengaged, she journeys to the heartland of America for yet another sale and purchase of a town. There, she meets a dusty cowboy, brimming with fury and defiance, who refuses to surrender her land without a fight.

    Kara Zorel is a fighter, but her existence is one of perpetual struggle. Unending drought, unrelenting debt, and a father who drowns his sorrows in alcohol have left her unable to rest or even keep her head above water on her desolate piece of land. The arrival of a development executive poses a threat to all she holds dear. Driven to despise Lena, Kara finds herself with a choice: succumb to the insurmountable odds or convince this strikingly beautiful woman to reconsider her plans.

    Summary

    Kara supposes that like most superheroes, even villains have their own (not so) secret identities to retreat to during the day. As disturbing as that thought is.

    Though, in knowing that however, certainly does not prepare her with the mental fortitude for running into any of them out of working – or should she say, hero – hours.

    In the midst of reining in her surprise, Kara inwardly wonders if there’s a standard proper protocol somewhere for running into the little sister of her cousin’s greatest nemesis at some run-of-the-mill supermarket in town.

    Or.

    Even in a universe where Lex Luthor runs rampant and free, and Lena inevitably sides with her family, Kara has never once stopped believing that she is nothing but good.
