Lena POV:
I had been taking advantage of Diana being gone…
I've spent every free moment I could with the goddess, everything about her drawing me in and keeping me close. Waking with the sun and her beautiful eyes, afternoon's spent basking in the fields, night filled with passion and love.
I couldn't help myself when it came to her, I was supposed to have no emotion, no one I cared about, I was supposed to be a Luthor… but couldn't. Not when Kara existed.
No matter how angry, sad, or hateful I felt she seemed to make it seem like nothing. Her smile melted the ice around my heart, her arms held me when I needed it most, she was everything and more than I could have asked for.
Reaching my hand up I brush the strands of loose hair from her face, watching her as she sleeps peacefully. I didn't want to disturb her, she had frequent nightmares and got little to no sleep because of them. If one would wake me up she would insist that it was nothing and push my worries aside. It never stop me from worrying.
"It's rude to stare." One eye peaked open as her stunning smile appeared.
"Like you don't stare at me all the time." I rolled me eyes, Flipping myself onto my stomach.
"Yeah, but when I do it, it's cute." She proved herself on an elbow.
"Are you saying I'm not cute when I stare?" I lifted a brow.
"Rao no, you're sexy." She wiggled her brows drawing a giggle from me.
"What a dork." I pushed her face.
Grabbing my hand she pulled herself close and positioned herself on top of me. Leaning in close to my ear she blows cold air on it before speaking.
"You'll pay for that Luthor." Her voice dark.
The next thing I knew was her hand on my waist tickling me, I screamed a laugh as she pulled me close. I tried to escape but it was useless compared to the monster above me. She held a smirk when I tried shoving and pushing her away with pleads.
"Apologize Luthor!" She growled.
"Haha, I'll- AH- never haha give in!" I slapped her arms and tried to move her off with no avail.
"Fine then… I'll have to take drastic measures." A dark playful smile fell on her lips.
Faster than I was expecting she was holding my feet in a headlock, tickling me mercilessly. I kicked and thrashed, squealing as she continued.
"Apologize!" She shouted.
"I APOLOGIZE!" I screamed, still trying to move from her.
In an instant she let my legs go, stood up and smiled down at me. I grabbed a pillow and hurled it at her face which she easily catches. Sitting up I try and regain my breath when a pillow smacked into my face.
"You're joking." I huffed.
"Dead serious." She smirked.
Jumping out of bed I charged the woman who ran away from me, I chased her around the bedroom. She ducked and avoided any attempt of me catching her, so far as 'standing' on the ceiling.
"That's cheating." I scoffed.
"All's fair in war my dear." She flashed a bit down for me to see the loose hair sway.
"Fine, then have fun showering by yourself." Turning on my heels I head straight for the bathroom.
"HEY!" She dropped to the floor and followed me.
"Hay is for horses Kara." I kept my stride.
"I always hated that expression." Her nose crinkled.
"Go shower by yourself." I waved her off, already inside the bathroom and blocking her entrance.
"You wouldn't say no to this face would you?" I offered my best and biggest puppy eyes.
"Oh, but I would." She slammed the door in my face leaving me shocked.
"You monster!"
Dressed and appropriate, I ran tests with Kara all day, keeping track of how far she has come since her return. She stood in a sprinter's stance waiting for the gun to go off.
Aiming it up I take the shot and watch as a blur appears and stops revealing Kara standing and stretching. She gave me a bright smile and wave before someone guard ushered her off for the next test.
Following to the weight and gravity room we watched as Kara moved fluidly within the room. Shadow boxing with weight around her arms and ankles, her precision with every strike becoming cleaner. The scientists around me moved dials accordingly to male the room condense along with the weights.
Soon passing the high pressure she had with Diana she began to pick up her speed with every attack. Blurs turned to after images as she pranced around the room "punching" an invisible enemy. Sweat formed on her as the weight and pressure increased tenfold.
A look seemed to come over her as the pressure started to affect her, a menacing smile and eyes full of bloodlust spilled out. The after images of her fists turned to after images of her, multiple "Kara's" moved faster around the room with every strike.
After a few minutes her body slowed and she fell to her knees, refusing to succumb completely to the ground. The scientists readied to stop but her head snapped up and met my eyes. The Raging storm in her eyes sent a chill down my spine, through gritted teeth she spoke.
"Don't stop… only when I fall will you stop."
Like the Titan Atlas she forces her body to stand depicted the pressure it's under. A loud yell leaves her as she keeps throwing punches, slower than before. The scientists turned to me with worried expressions.
"Ms. Luthor, she could be severely hurt. We're already at 6 Billion tons of pressure." They fretted over the powerful woman.
"Do you wish to tell her that you stopped the experiment?" I turned to them with a smile.
"Well, No but-"
"Then I suggest you turn up the pressure." I patted their cheek, eyes focused back on the blonde.
"Right away Ms. Luthor."
Kara moved like a machine as she fought off the weight, muscles tensed and focused on not collapsing. Yet, just like all great structures, they must come to an end.
With the Scientists turning up the pressure slowly this made Kara soon fall, 6.5 billion tons weighing down on her. Falling to her hands and knees she struggled to stay at that height. Slowly turning her head to me, she held an angry bloodthirsty smile on her face. When the pressure reached 7 billion tons only then did she collapse under it.
She stayed conscious, stayed breathing, even tried to push against it, but was undeniably beaten. Snapping my fingers the scientists stopped the experiment and returned the room back to normal. With a loud gasp Kara pushed herself up, punching the ground in anger.
Coming out of the machine she looked angrily at the scientist to my right, in his face in a second she looked ready to kill. Picking him up by the collar she held him close to her face, a scowl pulled at her lips.
"Why'd you stop?" A hiss leaves her.
"M-Ms. Luthor-"
"I stopped them." I saved the man.
"Why?" She dropped him instantly.
"You were down and you weren't going to get back up." I started to walk away, moving to the next testing area.
"I could have kept going?" She looked like a kicked puppy.
"And you would have hurt yourself Darling, I won't allow that." I waved her nonsense off.
She grunted but followed me accordingly, we moved to an area to test her Stamina and Endurance. I sat and watched, taking notes of any sign she gave.
She easily ran on the Cosmic Treadmill, the same running device the flash used to train himself. Surely with my own touch ups and fixes it should be able to handle the speed output for her. She moved fast enough to make herself a blur, I couldn't even see her hair properly let alone her face.
She kept up the outrageous running for nearly an hour, only breaking a sweat when the speed was increased from what she was doing. It was obvious she could handle running at high speed for longevity but we wanted to test her speed further.
She grunted as the speed continued to speed up, the blur worsening and soon carrying an after image of herself catching up. After another thirty minutes she crumbled under the speed, sliding off the treadmill and through the steel walls. She reappeared in an instant, panting as she tried to catch her breath.
"You alright?" I stood from my chair.
"Peachy!" She hunched over gathering breath.
"Fantastic we have one more." I began to walk away.
"But I'm hungry!" She whined after me.
"Eat when done dear." I continued to the area.
She followed and smiled at the testing, she loved to train or workout since her rescue, I never thought to ask but maybe I should. Guards came up and strapped two brackets around her wrists and turned them on. An orange and reddish glow emitted from the bracelets.
She shuddered as she lost her powers, under the lead confined warehouse she was able to lose her powers and not retain any from the sun. When we first tried we thought she could have the bracelets and still stay in the sun but that wasn't the case. She was as strong as she was before she left, her strength and power now fat beyond that.
We thought it would be better to keep her in a lead confined warehouse instead of out in the open. The padded floor and covered areas made sure it was safe for those who sparred with her. She jumped for to foot excitedly, a smile plastered on her face.
"Don't break any bones Kara and be nice until the bigger boys come out." I patted her shoulder.
"Right!"
She took off and hopped over and into the ring, stripping to her sports bra and compression shorts she looked ready. In my own opinion she looked like an MMA fighter ready to kill someone.
Trainers came up and entered the ring ready to fight her, but they would only get kicked and beaten brutally. They always put up a good fight, years of training under their belt but nothing compared to Kara's combat precision. I suppose 10 years on that planet made her hone her own fighting.
She moved around the ring quickly and sufficiently, her attacks always landing. She dodged their attacks with ease, side stepping them or grabbing and flipping them out of the ring. Somehow, even without the sun, even in this lead palace, she held a glimpse of her power.
You could see it, hell you could even hear it, with every attack you could heat her fist connect with their body harder than a human could throw. The looks on their faces when hit by her, the looks when she kicked them with skill.
With the smaller guards out Kara barely looked to have broken a sweat, dropping the last guard down she let out a warrior's cry. Snapping my fingers I let the bigger and tougher guards filter into the ring, she looked beyond happy.
I didn't want to tell her or hurt her feelings but I needed to test certain aspects of her time away, such as Kryptonite. She didn't talk often of her time away, the only information being her nightmares and sleep talking. I had given the guards Kryptonite knives and studded gauntlets, this is something we needed to test.
Knocking their fists together they smiled and charged the woman, she easily died but dropped her smile. Furrowing her brows she seemed to take this more seriously. 7 massive guards entered the ring, each one equipped with some form of Kryptonite.
Her eyes met mine, anger and confusion seeded deep in her eyes. Looking away she focused back on her threats, she worked easily with them, occasionally taking a strong hit. It was going well till a guard stabbed her in the shoulder, if it hurt she didn't give it away.
Pulling him close she kicked his knee in, high kicked his face only to bring her foot back down on his head. The loud crackling sounded as she knocked the man out, ripping the blade from her shoulder she tossed it and charged the others.
It was interesting, the Kryptonite seemed to have little effect with her, she showed darker green veins but they were smaller. Had she grown an Immunity to the green substance?
Two guards teamed up on her, throwing fast punches and kicks. She avoided them as best as she could but it would seem the little Kryptonite that entered her system removed that glimpse of power she had. She was more human now- no she was human now.
Taking haymakers and knees to the stomach she fought through the pain, finding the weak points in the larger men's bodies. Getting clocked straight in the face she backed up and wiped the blood from her broken nose. I was shocked at seeing her have something broken, but was more intrigued with her reaction.
A megawatt smile filled her face, her bloody fingers lifting to her lips as she licked the blood off them. The guards recoiled with disgust, this only furthered the crazed look in her eye. Like an animal she pounced the man and brought him to the ground.
Lifting her fists she delivered strong punches to him with no sign of stoppage, he blocked at first but it became too much. After a moment her fists came back dripping with his blood as she started to bash his skull in. Jumping to action another guard threw her off but failed to realize her reaction speed.
She was already up and kicking him across the face, squaring up like a boxer that striked fast and hard. Strong hook into his side, bruising his kidneys and liver with every attack. Another guard came up and wrapped her in a hug from behind hoping to keep her restrained.
There were only four guards left and they struggled to fight her. While holding her another guard came up and delivered pushes into her abdomen and face. Yet it didn't seem to matter or faze the woman, she took each hit with a deranged smile on her face.
Lurching her head forward she slammed it back into the guard making him let go, reaching behind she grabbed his neck and flipped herself onto his shoulders. The guard punching her missed and clocked the other guard instead. He groaned and stumbled with the blonde on his shoulders.
Flipping her body around his quickly she flipped him onto the floor and punched him hard enough to knock him out. When the guard came up she rolled away and pounced on him as the other two remaining guards came to help.
Laughing she kicked his knee backwards making the bone snap and come out the other side of his leg. I had told her no broken bone too…
Grabbing his hair she pummeled his face in, her right hand breaking from the force of the punches. Coming from her side a guard jabbed the knife into her side as the other pushed the studded gauntlet into her face. She was sent back with a painful grunt, they charged her as she rolled away.
The guards and scientists watching couldn't help as they cheered and booed according to who they wanted to win. It felt like a fight in a movie, like a battle not so much as training, it was a show for us to enjoy.
They traded blows with Kara struggling to keep up with the Kryptonite knife still in her side. Grabbing the handle a guard headbutted her and ripped it from her side while the other swept her legs. Now on the floor they tried to stab again but failed when she grabbed his arm. Locking her legs around his arm she twisted and snapped it making the mad scream in pain.
The other guard went to slam his fist into her but missed as she rolled her body onto the broken arm guard. Standing up she avoided attacks from the last guard, smiling as she fought him off.
Taking a risky maneuver she took several punches head on, her face and body growing bloodied by the second. Blocking an attack aimed for her side she brought down a disastrous haymaker. He stumbled to the side holding his head as she came after him.
Jumping up she kneed him in the face effectively breaking his nose, hooking his arm around her shoulder she flipped the massive man with ease. Once on the ground she wrapped him in a headlock choking the poor soul out.
She whispered something to him that only made the man flail around harder. I was about to stop the fight but Kara catching my eyes stopped me, the look sending shivers down my spine.
She looked hungry, bloodthirsty as she gazed at me, yet a glint of subservience in her stormy orbs. Snapping my fingers she instantly dropped the unconscious man, smiling wide she raised her arms and turned to the "crowd" giving a warrior's cry of victory.
Snapping my fingers again, multiple nurses and guards rushed up to retire the hurt men. Kara exited the ring and strode up to me, the dark green veins disappearing slowly. Smiling down at me she helped me stand and dragged me away.
"What are you doing?" I followed despite needing more work done.
"I'm hungry, you will eat too." She grunted.
Once out into the sun the wounds she had taken healed nearly instantly despite the bracelets still on her. She had blood on her body, her face happy even though it had blood covering it.
Once inside the Manor she sat me at a table while she grabbed a wet washcloth for the blood on her. Servants came and delivered mountains of food for Kara and I. She had a habit of serving me a plate even though there were sergeants for it, stacking it with my favorite things she set it in front of me.
Her face looked cleaner but her body still held blood, waving it off I gave the woman a chaste kiss and duh into my food. Happy with her work she dug in and ate faster than I could understand, where does she pack it away?
She finished before me, sighing with relief as she finally got to eat, but she didn't seem happy when I worked as I ate. Lightly slapping my hand away from my tablet she held a frown on her face.
"I have to work, Kara." I sighed.
"Not now, eat and relax." She whined.
"I need to work." I huffed.
She went quiet, I continued to type away as I ate, looking up after a few minutes I noticed she wasn't there anymore.
"FUCK!"
Hands on my thighs made me jump suddenly, scooting back I found Kara underneath the table with a frown. She slid my skirt up and pulled my thing down, kissing my legs as she did.
"W-what are you doing?" I threaded a hand into her hair.
"You won't relax, so I'll help." She spread my leg further apart.
"W-what!? Kara wait-"
"You're already wet Lena… did you enjoy my fight that much?" A smirk plastered on her face.
"That's not it!" I denied.
"Then what is it?" Her tongue slipped out and ran against my heated core.
"S-shit, it's n-not what you think." I gripped her hair tightly.
"Then explain." She lifted a brow.
Needing this and not wanting to be teased I push my thoughts away and let her do as she pleases.
"I'll explain later."
