Alura knows that things have been a little strained between her and Lena since the younger woman found out about her relationship with Lillian. She hates that it’s happened, hates that Lena probably feels betrayed by it. It’s an awful, sickening feeling low in her stomach, made worse by the fact that she knows Lena doesn’t know what she knows. 

Knows that Lena thinks she’s with someone who hates her. 

She’s nervous, when she knocks on Lena’s door. Nervous because she knows that Lillian wouldn’t want her to do this, because she doesn’t know how Lena will react or whether she’ll believe her. But she has to try. For both of them. 

The door swings open, and she gives Lena a small smile. ‘Hello, Lena. I hope I’m not disturbing you?’ 

Kara just couldn't take it anymore. Maybe Lena was dropping hints-- maybe she was geniunely just looking for advice or help but it was driving Kara crazy that Lena hadn't realized or thought to ask her. She had meant for it to come out gentler but her frustration fed into her words and the next thing she knew she was waving her hands around and slamming them against her side by the end of her delcaration. Staring at Lena with a mix of desperation, exasperation and panic.

Oh god-- what did she just do?

send ‘kiss’ + a number to kiss my muse…

20. …as a dare.

Mon-El stares at her over his half-eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich, lips stained with grape jelly, grinning, his carrots and broccoli uneaten on one side of the plate.  “I dare you!” he repeats, and he gives his sister a mischievous look.

Rhea watches as her daughter squirms in her seat, eyes downcast to her plate.  At least one of them had eaten their vegetables.  She glances up at her mother then back down to her plate.  “Can I be excused?”

“Yes, you may.”

“No!” Mon-El shouts, pounding one little fist on the table as his sister takes her plate to the kitchen.  “I dared her!  She has to!”

“Don’t pound the table, Mon-El,” Rhea says, immediately, placing her cup down.  Her eyes lift, “and it isn’t appropriate for you to treat your sister that way.”

Mon-El crosses his arms and scowls.  “But it’s a dare.  You hafta do a dare or else you’re a scaredy-pants.”

“No, you don’t.”  Rhea stands, pushing her plate forward.  “It’s far more brave to say no when someone tries to tell you to do something you know will hurt someone else.”  She taps on the edge of his plate where the vegetables sit.  “Eat the rest of your food.”

“I don’t like ‘em.”

“Eat them anyway.”

“No.”  And before she can say anything, he continues, “It’s far more brave say no.”

Rhea smiles.  “Yes.  Very brave.  But it will be harmful for you if you don’t eat them.”  She taps the plate again, voice growing firmer.  “Eat.”

She picks up her own plate and goes into the kitchen where Lena stands with her plate, staring back at the table.  Rhea kneels down in front of her, and her daughter’s gaze moves to the floor.  “Is something wrong, Lena?”

“I can’t reach the sink.”

“Is that all?”  Rhea reaches over, kisses her daughter’s forehead, and holds out her hand.  “Here.  I’ll take it for you.”

Lena nods then looks up as she hands her plate over.  “Is it really that bad?  Kissing someone?”

“No, dear,” Rhea says, gentle, corner of her lips twitching into a smile.  “I just kissed you, didn’t I?”

“You did?”

“Mmhm.”  She places a finger in the middle of Lena’s forehead.  “Right here.”

“Oh.”  Lena relaxes.  Then she smiles, bright. “Ok!”

“That girl ran out so quickly, I thought she’d end up calling the police. The press hasn’t had time to print about my release, I’m sure the outrage is on it’s way,” Lex spoke as he heard the door open behind him, glancing back to ensure he was talking to who he was here for. He turned his attention back to the window, looking down upon the city his sister had chosen to run his company from. His release had been processing for a few days and he spent a lot to keep it under wraps until the last moment.
