Chapter 111

(Ft. A lot of jumping around)

J'onn has to make sure that Alex and Maggie are not allowed to interrogate the DEO's new prisoners because they're both extremely protective of Kara and Lena. After a couple hours of Kara and Lena distracting them by discussing wedding plans, J'onn knocks on the door. Kara uses her X-ray vision.

"It's J'onn," she tells the others. She gets up and opens the door for him.

"Hello," he says gruffly. They perk up, leaning forward to hear what he has to say. They all know he has information on the Cadmus people. "They were working alone. It is a single unit that was posted elsewhere. There are more units that we may have to send some agents after, or some scouts for recon. They have scattered after Lillian fell, but I don't expect them to band together in time. Or rather before we get to them."

Alex breathes a sigh of relief. "Thank the Gods. What kind of weaponry do they have? Are they developing anything?"

J'onn shakes his head. "No. We have most, if not all, of their scientists in custody. The ones we have not been able to locate are not with any of the other Cadmus groups. As far as this group knows, anyway. I don't expect them to show up. And if they do, I doubt it will be with Cadmus."

Alex nods and exhales. "Okay. Thanks, J'onn."

"You're welcome. Now, have you managed to decide anything for your wedding?" He asks, his eyes twinkling.

"We aren't that bad," Alex protests but even Maggie gives her a look. "Okay maybe we are. But yes! We did decide on things."

"That's progress." J'onn smiles, then clears his throat. "I expect you all to get some rest."

"Yes sir," they all say.

After eating a lot, even for Kara, and sleeping, Kara and Lena head back to where they left the others. They're all happy to see the Queen of the Luthor Kingdom and Princess of the Danvers Kingdom back safe.

They resume their journey to the Luthor Kingdom.

***

When they pass over the invisible border from the Danvers Kingdom into the Luthor Kingdom, Kara can feel a difference in the air. Not a bad one, of course. It is just different. The Danvers Kingdom is vast and known for its acceptance of different groups of people.

Meanwhile, the Luthor Kingdom is known for its wealth. However, unlike other wealthy Kingdoms, the Luthor Kingdom watches over the companies carefully. This was implemented generations ago to make sure the ruler was paid their share of the profits. Lena has used this in a vastly different way than her... Not just her predecessors, her ancestors. She is still getting used to the idea of truly being a Luthor. Lena uses it to ensure people in the workforce are treated and paid fairly. Because of this, the people in the Kingdom's view of their ruler has gone from (occasionally reluctant) obedience to hesitant trust. Lena knows she'll prove herself to her people eventually.

Kara smiles at Lena, who is riding on her horse again instead of on the wagon. They had only done that the first day because of their tiredness. Now the both of them ride their horses.

Lena's shoulders tense slightly, thinking about how she will have to take over again from Jess. At least she has Kara by her side now. Lena is good at ruling, she knows she is. But she doesn't exactly like the stress, especially since she's been ruling alone. Which no one has done in her Kingdom for over two centuries.

Along the course of the trip, they have of course gone back to the Danvers Kingdom to talk to Maggie and Alex a few times. But Lena is proud of Kara for listening to her and not going back more.

Once they get to the Luthor Kingdom, it only takes a couple days to reach the capital, where Lena's castle is. Lena has always considered having a castle to be extravagant, but she is looking forward to the privacy. She hasn't gotten much... "Alone time" with Kara since the beginning of the trip because the tent's walls are literally just sheets.

As they ride to the front gate of the capital, the guards recognize them both. Lena can see the curiosity in their faces at seeing the Danvers Kingdom's Princess. She guesses that Cat's article about their relationship hasn't come out here.

The gates open for them and they ride down the main street. People move out of their way and wave happily at their Queen. Lena smiles and waves back.

Like the Danvers Castle, the Luthor Castle is at the highest point in the city. It looms over the city, its dark stones casting shadows over it. It's magnificent and beautiful, but it looks almost ominous. Though maybe that's what the Luthors that ordered it being built were going for.

The gates to the Castle open for them, squeaking quietly on their hinges. A guard steps forward. "My Queen and Princess Kara. We can take your horses to the stables if you would like to dismount here."

Lena nods and gracefully gets off. Kara isn't experienced enough with horses to do it that smoothly, so she cheats and uses her powers to hover over the ground for a moment before her boots hit the ground.

"Thank you," Lena says.

"Of course, My Lady." The guard bows and then begins leading their horses away.

Kara and Lena head inside as the sun begins to set behind the mountains in the distance. Kara reaches out her hand slightly, wiggling her fingers a little bit. She doesn't take Lena's hand, unsure if Lena is okay with holding hand with her here. Lena holds her hand and Kara ducks her head slightly, smiling happily. The guards they pass do a pretty hilarious double take when they see the hand holding.

Lena leads Kara straight to her bedroom, knowing they're both exhausted after traveling.

Next chapter, more of this! These next couple chapters, as far as I've planned them, will have more Supercorp so we can see what it's like in the Luthor Kingdom and all that! But I am trying to move it along so we can get to the Sanvers wedding! :) And oh my goodness, my roommate's parents came here this morning and they brought presents for finals week! For her, her best friend, and for ME! Like what? I've met them like four times! They're so sweet :) Made my day, especially since now I'm going to spend the rest of it doing homework... Whoo! Thank you all for reading and for all your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
