Chapter Text
"wait mxy" kara says, turning around toward the imp.
"I want to see one last reality"
"As you wish" the imp gets ready to send her into the new story,
"Take me to the day lex came back, when he needed Lena's help."
"Okay three, two" and with a snap, Kara's standing in front of the Luthor mansion, in her normal clothes without her glasses.
Okay here goes nothing
She walks toward the door, texts lena to open the door.

K: Hey lena
L :Hi, did you need something, I'm out of national city
K :I know, I'm outside Luthor mansion could you let me in.
L : what , what are you doing here.
K : needed to talk to you, urgently.
L : ok give me a second.

Lena asks one of the staff to open the door, she's sitting in the living room reading a book.
Kara walks inside , the staff member has a confused look on his face, but doesn't say anything.
"Hey Lena" Kara calls out to Lena,
"Hey"
Lena doesn't turn around, Kara hesitates unsure if she's close to ruining everything, but she had her mind set, so she's gonna do it.
Kara walks to the couch where Lena is, "Lena can we talk"
Lena looks up expecting to see Kara Danvers, but instead comes face to face with someone unknown, she feels like it's neither Supergirl nor Kara Danvers.
"Kara, I- I"
"I know, I know you're confused but I need to tell you something and I need to get you out of here."
"What do you mean ,out of here"
"I mean if you'll let me and if you trust that I want you to be safe then come with me please."
Lena nods accepting that even if she's been lying, she's never failed to protect her.
They walk out to open ground, kara silently asks if it's okay to pick Lena up,
Lena nods and they fly off. Lena holds on for her life, scared of the fact that she's flying in the arms of a person, unsure if it's even legal to fly a human without a belt or safety precautions.
She's flown before but it wasn't straight up full speed and without supergi-no Kara's cape or maybe she did, maybe the dream she had where Kara was flying her to the DEO was real.
The land near Kara's apartment. To be honest she thought that they were going to the DEO.
"Kara, why aren't we at the DEO"
"They don't know what I'm about to tell you"
"What how"
Kara's surprised at how well Lena's taking it. She thinks that it's because Eve hasn't betrayed Lena yet.
But that's about to change.
"I might have been doing some recon alone."
"But Lena right now I need Harun-El and green kryptonite if you can spare it.
"Why, why do you need that,"
"Don't ask me how I know, but lex has, cancer, he gave himself cancer to get Harun-El, he's also gonna get James shot, he's planning to "help" kaznia invade America and then make himself the hero. Lena I need the Kryptonites not to take but I need them here, ready and don't ask Eve to get them for you. I'll go get them just be ready to meet someone."
"Why not ask Eve"
"She's working with lex"
"How-"
"Don't ask me how I know"
Kara flys off to Luthor mansion again, discreetly get the kryptonite and flys back before Eve could see her. While Kara's gone, Lena drops on the couch, she's not doing well, Eve's lying to her kara is supergirl and Lex wants Harun-El, and James is gonna get shot.
By the time she could think up anything to say to Kara , the super is back.
"Tell me why"
"Huh"
"Tell me why you didn't tell me"
"Will you believe me,"
"Depends"
"Look I know that I've hurt you but right now I need to finish what I'm doing.
I'll tell you everything later, also, you can't talk to Alex. Cuz she doesn't know.
It's also because I need you to be safe you're already targeted by so many people I would hate it if I was the reason you were hurt."
Before Lena could reply, Kara flew off., She sits back down, rewinding everything Kara just said, Alex doesn't know, how does Alex not know, she goes toward her equipment, sets it up so it's ready for whatever kara needs it for.
She goes to Kara's kitchen, gets some water. And preferably sees if kara has anything strong that's safe for humans. She looks into a few cabinets before she sees a stock of liquor.
Woah, okay so maybe kara likes to drink a whole bottle of neat vodka to see what it does do her, no big deal.
Lena takes a bottle of scotch, pours herself a glass and takes a peek at Kara's bookshelf, she's never been alone in Kara's apartment before.
The second she sees Kara's book collection she feels like an idiot, if only she'd seen the stuff kara has she would've understood that she was an alien. She takes out a book of advanced chemistry, sees a note scribbled on it,
Kara zor-el 2005 with the house of El crest drawn. '2005... she must've been 14, how would she understand this at fourteen, ' she puts the book back, takes out a book of old high level math book that was written in Hindi, "यह किताब कारा की है"
Is written on it.
She sees a few other books that were way too advanced for a human teen to study.
To her surprise she doesn't see any human history or any books that weren't related to new languages or science and maths.
She gets it I mean it's understandable why Kara wouldn't be interested in learning about old humans seeing as we were all disgusting idiots who can't accept anything.
By the time lena finishes two glasses of scotch, and cruising through Kara's bookshelf. Kara's back with a squirming. ¿kara? In her arms
"Let me go" the doppelganger says in a thick Russian accent
"Kara, who is this"
"I am red daughter, Lena, and if you don't let me go A-lex will not let you be"
"Why don't you listen to me, lex isn't good he doesn't like krytonians he's using you,"
"His name is A-lex"
Lena is baffled "both of you quiet, red daughter is it, Kara's right if Lex is doing anything good for you it's an act he can never do good for anyone" she is quite surprised how she isn't bursting with emotions, how she remained calm after receiving the news that her best friend had been lying to her.
"Why should I believe you, you're just Americans, a-lex is helping Kaznia"
"He isn't okay, wait , wait right here, I have something that will convince you, " Kara doesn't care anymore she going to show them a glimpse of the future which could have been.
"lena keep her here,"
"Mxy pull me out"
And with that kara is gone, and back at her loft with mxy watching lena try and succeed in holding down red daughter.
