12Sitting in a metal chair, cuffed to a table in a police investigation room was not Kara's idea of a good time. Well it was fun that one time when she and that one cop fucked in it. The girl must have been sexually deprived because just the suggestion of sex to get out of trouble was all it took. Kara had been joking but the woman had jumped on the offer like a cat to catnip. Sadly they got caught and both of them ended up in trouble. The cop was suspended before getting transferred. She was one sexy police officer to, to bad she was gone now. Kara was grinning to herself at the memory but was snapped out of it when the door opened. In walked Merayn and Maggie, but Mags quickly sent Merayn back out. Must not want her in here after what happened. Maggie closed the door, sat a file down and took a seat across from Kara.
"So it's Valora now?" Maggie asked just to get silence from the other woman. "We are working on getting you a lawyer so I'm not asking anything involving the case. This is a personal chat, friend to friend."
"Friends? We're not friends, I don't befriend humans." Kara said with a glare. "Filthy primitives." Kara said under breath which Maggie still heard and chose to ignore.
"Which is what I don't get." Maggie said shaking her head. "Why the change in name? Living here and not National city? And most of all why the change in personality?"
"Stop acting like you don't know!" Kara hissed out. "I know you were involved with everything!"
"I have no idea what your talking about." Mags said calmly. "Look I'll call Alex and then we can..." She was swiftly cut off.
"CALL THAT BITCH AND I'LL END YOU BOTH!" Kara yelled.
"Don't say another word." A voice said.
Looking at the door there stood Lucy Lane all dressed up in her fancy lawyer clothes. Kara made a face of disgust that showed her hatred of the woman. Her paranoia also started setting in, Lucy being here meant the DEO was here. She refused to go back there, she would die before she went back. Thinking about it she might even be willing to kill if it meant not going back. Looking at the woman again Maggie was talking with her and then they both walked out. It would be a few minutes when she heard the door again and Merayn was standing there. She was still in her uniform and didn't look happy, but then again she never looked happy around Kara.
"Valora." She said as she narrowed her eye's. "We have unfinished business." Merayn took a chair and jammed it under the door handle so the door couldn't be opened.
"Is this about the smurf comment?" She chuckled. "Because seriously, just throw a white stocking hat and a white dress on you and 'BAM' dead ringer for smurfette."
"Shut up!" The blue woman said backhanding Kara.
"A little excessive don't you think?" Kara told her. "It was just a joke."
"I'm tired of you're jokes!" She hit Kara again but this time punching her. "You never shut up!"
"Fuck!" She spat out with a hiss of pain. "The hells your problem!?"
"Your my problem!" She yelled. "You ruined my fucking life!"
"Don't place all the blame on me! You were just as responsible for what happened." Kara pointed out to her. "Maybe if you had taken better care of her needs nothing would have happened." She said with a slight grin.
"I fucking loved her Valora! But she chose you over me, her fiancé." She yelled more. "And what did you do! You left and went back to that bug again!"
"I didn't know what I wanted okay!" Kara said.
"You never know what you want!" Merayn told her. "You showed up at our wedding with all these declarations of love! You convinced her to leave with you!" Tears filled her eye's. "I can't believe Either one of us ever trusted you!"
"Look I don't know what you want me to say." Kara simply shrugged her shoulders. "I fucked up okay."
"Fucked up? FUCKED UP!?" The blue woman angrily laughed. "You did more than fuck up!" She smashed Kara's face off the table. "Her family disowned her! Most of our friends stopped talking to her! My ex fiancé wants nothing to do with me! All because of you!" She started punching Kara over and over, even knocking her out of the chair. Kara was hanging from the table she was attached to. It was only when the door had finally been kicked open and Merayn was restrained that she stopped hitting her.
"I'm sorry." Kara said with a barely audible whisper.
"Sorry doesn't cut it Valora." She gritted her teeth. "You ruin everything you touch! I fucking hate you and I hope you die in a ditch."
She was dragged off by her fellow officers while still spouting hate filled words. Kara deserved it, she knew she did but also knew she deserved worse. Merayn was right, Kara ruins everything she touches. With in the 2 years she's been here she's ruined potential friendships, relationships, been the cause of businesses being closed which in turn caused people to lose their jobs. There are plenty of people here who hate her, especially plenty of women or rather ex's. And Merayn was a good friend to her, bailed her out of trouble a lot, and even nursed her back to health a few times. What did she get for her kindness? She lost a fiancé who got tossed out by her family and friends who tried to warn her not to fall for Kara's charm.
Merayn and her fiancé were so trusting and kind that they chose not to believe the things that were said about Kara. Her fiancé cheated on her with Kara. They called it off said it couldn't happen again but then it did. And when she was up there about to get married Kara showed up saying she loved her. They left together and even got hitched, but after a month Kara disappeared on her and went back to Shikari. Turns out Kara was high and drunk when she crashed the wedding and convinced Merayn's significant other to get hitched to her. Technically they were still legally married, but only because Kara was to irresponsible to sign the annulment papers. When she eventually got sick of it she filed for divorce but again Kara simply never signed them. Although it's not like she was easy to find since she didn't have a permanent residence and no one ever knew if Shikari had kicked her out again or not.
Merayn hated Kara's guts now and wasn't the same kind and caring person she used to be. Kara ruined her just like she's ruined many other people and things.
"Do you wish to press charges?" Maggie asked her as she released her from the cuffs.
"No." Kara told her.
"Are sure you don..." Mags started to ask again just for Kara to cut her off.
"Are you fucking deaf human!" Kara growled out. "I said no!"
"Okay, no need to yell." Maggie said as she backed away. "Your free to go, the incident during your arrest and now this was enough for any charges to be thrown out."
"Whatever." The kryptonian said as she started walking out.
Lucy followed her, calling out her name as she was trying to get her to stop. Kara had other plans, which were to get as far away from the woman as possible. She hated Lucy just as much as the others, she was just as much involved with everything as they were. All that talk of friendship and being family was bullshit. If she had been a real friend she wouldn't have lied to her, wouldn't have involved herself with what they were doing. Instead Lucy went right along with it, all those movie and game nights, the brunches, everything. In her mind Lucy was just as bad as her father if not worse. At least her father only wanted her dead or in prison. As Kara rounded a corner into an alley outside Lucy once again called out.
"Kara stop!" Lucy said as she grabbed Kara's shoulder. She quickly found herself on her knee's and her wrist tightly gripped by Kara.
"Call me that again!" Kara jerked at the woman's wrist. "Go ahead! I dare you!"
"I'm sorry!" Lucy gasped out in pain. "Its a habit okay!"
"Then you better break it real quick!" She seethed. "Now what are you doing here?"
"If...if you would let go, I'd tell you." She gasped out.
"Or, you tell me anyways before I break it." She told her. "But let me take a quick guess, the DEO sent you."
"No..." Lucy grimaced at the pain. "I-I don't work for them anymore."
"BULLSHIT!" Kara yelled as she jerked the wrist again. "They want their plaything back and your here to give it to them!"
"I'm-I'm telling the truth!" Lucy grimaced. "I quit, a lot of us did after you left."
"You say that and yet here you are." Once again she yanked the wrist in a painful way. "I'm half tempted to just break you're wrist on principle alone." She hissed.
"I swear I'm telling you the truth!" She yelped. "W-Why are you so strong right now!?" She asked under her breath.
"What?" Kara smirked a bit. "Does the little agent and her precious DEO actually not know something for once."
Kara couldn't help but find this amusing. For once there was something they didn't know and that made her ecstatic. Krypton's gravity was 40 times that of earth so their bodies through both evolution and genetic manipulation were far stronger than an earthling. Even without her powers she was still stronger, faster and more durable than a human. Hell her bones were as tough as titanium if not stronger and her muscles were stronger as well which is what gave her, her natural strength. And even though she didn't have super speed without her powers she could still move quicker and more freely than that of the average human. Clark on the other hand wasn't so fortunate, since he was born a natural birth and sent off planet as an infant his body wasn't as strong. Sure he had increased strength and such like her but his was more akin to a human at peak physical condition.
The fact that the DEO never apparently figured this out amused Kara to no end. It was definitely a pretty big over sight on their part.
"Lo-look, I'm telling the truth! I work as a..." She grimaced. "a regular lawyer for L-Corps Mosiac city branch."
"That fucking green eye'd bitch is still watching me isn't she!" She twisted Lucy's wrist.
"Sh-she's worried about you." Lucy gritted her teeth in pain. "She had me transferred here to..." The woman gasped again. "to defend you in case you kept getting in trouble."
"Why did you agree to it?" Kara asked her.
"I wanted to try and make amends for how I treated you. I figured helping you with legal trouble was a good way to start."
"I don't want your help! I don't want her help either! I don't need help from humans!" She yelled.
"If your going to break it then just get it over with!" Lucy told her.
"Okay." Kara said before twisting the other girls wrist. A loud snap rang out along with Lucy crying out in pain. "I was going to do it regardless but since you asked so nicely." She let go of the woman's arm and took a few steps back.
"Yo-your so different than I remember." Lucy said with a pain filled voice as she cradled her arm.
"Of course I'm different! I was never that sunny little Kara Danvers person you sick fucks made me into!" Kara spat. "You fucked with my head! Do you have any idea what it's like to have two different people fighting in your head! It's confusing, and painful!"
Her real memories and the fake ones both swam in her head, mixing together in a confusing black hole of pain. Remembering things was physically painful, even day to day things hurt. The migraines were constant because of it and sometimes even overwhelming. The drugs, the alcohol, even sleeping around was her trying to make everything go away. Being sober meant remembering, remembering meant pain both physically and mentally. Kara didn't know who she was, not really. How could anyone truly know in her situation. She was fucked up and she knew it but she didn't care, she didn't care about most things anymore. There was one exception but she was afraid of ruining it.
"Just leave me alone! And tell Lena to-to...to..." Kara trailed off.
She started having a coughing fit with dark red blood coming out with each caugh. Kara turned around, rushing to the nearby trash can in the alley and started vomiting. Thick black vomit with a slight green and red glow filled the trash can. Her eye's watered and closed tightly from the pain in her head and throat. Her body shook and trembled with each discharge making her forget where she even was. She felt sick, dizzy and tired which was something she was use to by now. Falling backwards onto the ground Kara started seizing as she passed out.
"Shit! Sam she's crashing!" A woman yelled out.
Kara could hear people as well as the commotion going on from them moving around, but she couldn't open her eye's. She couldn't speak or move either, she felt heavy and weak, like she had been in a fight. Well technically she had been in a fight but this was different.
"We need to flush her system!" The same woman said in a panic. "No, no, no, no, no!"
It would be a few hours later that Kara would start to wake up. She was under a very bright light that made it hard to open her eye's. Slowly she opened them, letting them adjust to the brightness. Upon opening them and her blurry vision clearing up she saw that she was on a sun bed. It was like the sun beds that the DEO used on her after she would get hurt. Her heart started racing and pounding in her chest. Her first thought was that they had finally come for her, that they would take everything away from her again. Her heart rate kept climbing and could be heard on a heart monitor. It was like her heart was going to burst out of her chest.
"Valora calm down!" A female voice said as the person placed their hand on her, trying to calm her. "It's okay, your okay. Please calm down before you have a heart attack."
Kara's head snapped at attention and looked at the person talking. Her paranoia slowly turned into anger as she looked at the green eyed woman beside her. It was Lena, the same Lena she told to leave her alone. Kara leapt up and grabbed the woman by the collar of her shirt and lifted her off the ground.
"What did you do to me!?" Kara yelled.
"I saved your life." Lena calmly told her.
"I-I don't believe you!" Kara said with slight hesitation.
"You overdosed." Her voice and demeanor were still calm. "But you had a delayed reaction because of your physiology."
"Okay." She let go of Lena but dropped her instead of putting her down.
"Okay? Just like that?" She raised a suspicious brow.
"It makes sense, not the first time it's happened." Kara shrugged her shoulders.
"Yes which I'm well aware of." The green eye'd woman said.
"Yea because you refuse to stop spying on me!" She raised her voice.
"Only because I care." Lena told her.
"Tsk, yea right." She rolled her eye's. "Cause a human, especially a Luthor would never spy on anyone." At the end of that sentence there was a loud smack. Lena slapped Kara across the face leaving her in shock. She still wasn't at 100 percent so she easily felt it.
"Don't! Don't you ever say that again!" Lena huffed. "Your not stupid and know damn well I'm nothing like my name sake, just like your nothing like your name sake!" Despite being a bit angry Lena was for the most part still pretty calm and wasn't afraid to stand up to Kara. Besides she needed some tough love since that's what it might take to get through that stubborn skull of her's. "Now apologize!" Lena crossed her arms with a stern look.
"What!?" Kara made a confused face that online would probably be like that pikachu face meme. "I'm not going to apologize to a huma..." She was caught off guard as Lena grabbed her by the ear and started pulling on it. "OW OW OW! Is this anyway to treat your patient!?"
"I said apologize! I'll let go afterwards." Her face was stern.
"God your such a bit...OW!" Kara was wincing in pain while surprised that Lena had such a good grip. "OKAY OKAY I'M SORRY!"
"That's better." Lena let go. "I'm telling the truth when I say I had nothing to do with happened to you."
"I-I believe you." She begrudgingly admitted. "But I still don't like that you spy on me, it's a cun..." She was about to say cunt move but saw Lena's face and decided against it. "It's a bad move to invade someone's privacy."
"There were other people that were either not involved, not having any idea and those who knew but didn't agree with it." Lena at this point had started cleaning a few things up.
"Yea like who?" Kara questioned.
"Besides me, Maggie didn't know, neither did Kelly or Nia. Kelly chewed out Alex big time when she found out, almost broke up with her. Nia was was pretty pissed to as was Brainy, they stopped working with the DEO. And then there was Vazquez who knew about it and highly disagreed with it, she even quit after you left."
Vazquez, Kara remembered her, how could she not. She remembered when they first met, Kara was 18 with Vaz being a few years older and having just been transferred to the National city branch of the DEO. She had been assigned to look over Kara and take care of her needs as a prisoner. Make sure she dressed and ate, that sorta thing. She was kind and caring and even learned Kryptonian so they could talk. Vaz disagreed with how Kara was treated, with how she was locked up simply because of her name. She didn't treat her like the rest did, and Kara liked that. And then one day it changed, they started feeling things for each other. And then Vaz did what she knew was against the rules, she opened Kara's cell. Vaz became her first, her first kiss, her first relationship, her first sexual partner.
They kept it secret, as they couldn't have anyone knowing. But it didn't last, they got caught eventually. Apparently Vaz had been rigging the cameras to loop themselves. She thought she had covered her tracks but Winn being the nerd he was noticed something wrong. So of course he fixed it, and fixing it meant catching the two women during an intimate moment. They separated them by force, she remembered Vaz crying as they dragged her away. After that they made everything automated so they didn't need someone in there. Kara was left alone with no contact to anyone. At least until a few years later when they erased and replaced her memories. Vazquez tried to stop them, even bursted in and interrupted the process. But once again she had been dragged out.
"Vaz..." Kara's eyes stared at the floor and her teeth clinched as her head started to hurt from recalling the memories. "I-I need to leave, I have work tonight." She was feeling very uncomfortable now and needed some air.
"I wouldn't call that a job." Lena's face was full of concern.
"It's legitimate work with legitimate pay." Kara stated.
"You work for sleaze balls." The Luthor told her.
"At least they mind their own business." Kara said.
"Look before you leave we need to talk." Lena grabbed some papers off a desk. "When you were unconscious I ran some tests and..." She was cut off.
"Of course you fucking did." She huffed.
"And..." She glared at Kara as she continued. "I was concerned about how your powers come and go. Obviously all the drinking and drugs don't help but their not the main cause." Kara just stood there silently. "I found something and it's not..." She looked up from the papers wondering why Kara was so quiet. Kara was avoiding eye contact and looked like she was contemplating something. "You already know don't you?" Lena asked.
"I-I don't know what your talking about." She lied.
"Don't lie to me Valora. How long have you known?" Lena grilled her.
"I..."
"How long!?" She demanded.
"Close to a year." Kara sighed. "The last time I overdosed the doctor found it."
"Jesus Valora!" Lena threw the file down onto the desk. "What did they say? And please don't lie."
"4 to 6 months." She turned away from her.
"Okay we can fix this, I can help you, we can..." Kara simply cut Lena off.
"I don't want help Lena." She shook her head. "Besides nothing you can do anyways. Now as I said I have work."
"Valora wait!" But Kara was gone, even without her powers she was still faster. So Lena had no way to catch her.
