    Summary

    The woman on Lena’s doorstep is, quite frankly, the most confusing person she’s ever seen.

    At first glance she looks like every other housewife Lena has ever encountered. She’s wearing a reddish-brown skirt and a plain yellow blouse, her blonde hair in a stiff updo and her eyes magnified by large eyeglasses, and her makeup is well-applied if a little outdated. If she was standing further away Lena would have guessed that she was in her early forties at least, but after a more thorough look, Lena would be surprised if the visitor was much older than herself.

    The woman’s smile looks a little fixed and her eyes are wide as saucers, staring at Lena silently. Lena clears her throat.

    “…Can I help you?”

    OR

    Lena moves to the suburbs in the spring of 1969 to insulate herself from the world. To avoid getting hopelessly entangled with a married woman ever again. She can keep her head down, host some parties to get her needs met, and disappear.

    Enter, Kara Danvers.

    Summary

    “What happened to her, it’s not your fault.”

    She said that once, in one of their stolen moments of peace, the calm and safety before the storm began to pelt her windows with rain. Now, in the wake of it, clouds having cleared the sky to a red moon and the heavy air of the after, she doesn’t have to add aloud the next words they’re both thinking.

    “What happened to me, is.”

    Summary

    Rated Explicit for Certain Scenes
    Grayson looked to Vi then back to Caitlyn. "Both of you stay here." She ordered. "I'll be back as soon as I can." She grabbed her sheriff's hat, putting it on her head and paused at the door. "Harknor is in charge if you need anything." She stepped out not waiting for a reply. She shut the door, leaving the two girls alone in the office. Vi sat down hard on the floor, unable to keep standing any longer from the shock. Caitlyn walked over to the message left on the desktop. She picked it up to read as Vi was shaking her head.

    Caitlyn let out a soft "Oh" after reading the message. "Oh no." She said shaking. Vi turned to her seeing her look of shock. "This is very bad, isn't it?" She asked.

    "You have no idea."
    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Caitlyn's eyes are drawn to the mess of bruises smeared across Vi's face.

    "Who did this to you?" Caitlyn whispers.

    Vi studies Caitlyn with a strange intensity.
