Chapter 114 - Lex Luthor's Death

The morning for the little family of Kara, Lena and Alura, begins absolutely wonderfully, with the three of them happily snuggled in bed together. After everything they have gone through over the previous day, with their vacation getting delayed, and Kara and Alex having to fight Lex, they have certainly deserved a moment of serenity between them all.

Kara is the first of the three of them to wake up, and as she opens her eyes, the first sight she sees is Alura resting her head on her chest, while Lena is resting her head on her shoulder, with an arm on top of Alura. Kara feels so happy to have this family. There was a point in Kara's life, when she was sent away from Krypton, as the planet exploded, that she never thought she would have a family again. Kara thought that even though she had Kal, and would look after him, she would never have a family, as her life after that point would be about raising Kal, and giving him a better life, where he didn't have to experience the pains she had. However, things obviously didn't work out that way for Kara, and she got a family, first with Alex, Eliza and Jeremiah, and now with her own little family with Alura, herself and Lena. Kara thinks that Rao really must have been shining down on her, giving her a second chance, not only at life, but at family. Kara knows she will never be able to repay that debt to her Kryptonian god.

Kara continues to lay there in the bed for the next few minutes, content to just watch Alura and Lena sleep. Kara could honestly lie there all day, and be completely happy to do so. There is nowhere in the world right now that Kara would rather be, even if she does kind of need to go to the toilet. However, eventually, after about 30 minutes, Alura begins to move. From the 5-year-old's heartbeat, Kara can tell that her daughter is about to wake up.

Kara watches the beautiful sight of her daughter waking up to the world for a new day. At first Alura opens her eyes, and then snuggles her head a bit further into Kara's chest. Then, after a few moments, Alura moves her head to the side, and looks at Lena's arm, before then looking at Lena's sleeping face. Finally, after that, Alura looks up to Kara, with a smile on her face.

"Hello, baby." Kara smiles, so very happily.

"Mommy." Alura smiles back.

The two smile in silence at one another for a few moments.

"Do you want to get up?" Kara eventually asks, "We can let momma sleep for a while longer."

"Yes, okay." Alura nods.

Kara and Alura slowly get out of bed, making sure not to wake Lena up as they do. After that, they both head into the bathroom, to do their morning business, before they then quietly make their way out of the bedroom, walking hand in hand.

"Mommy?" Alura asks, as the two walk down the stairs.

"Yes, baby?" Kara asks, with a smile.

"Are we going to go on holiday now?" Alura asks, in a sweet voice.

Kara looks at her daughter and gives her a bit of a sympathetic look, very much wanting to tell her daughter that they can, but knowing that there are a few things they need to wrap up first. Particularly, Kara has to make sure that Kal is okay, and gets his memories back, if they are still missing. Then, on top of that, Kara needs to talk with J'onn, making sure that Lex is put in a prison somewhere where he can't ever escape again, or have contact with the outside world to organise his crazy plans.

"I'm sorry honey, but there are a few things we just need to wrap up first before we go on our holiday. But I promise we will be going on our holiday, just not yet." Kara explains.

"Oh..." Alura says, in a disappointed voice, "What things do you need to wrap up?"

Kara and Alura continue to walk into their living room/kitchen open plan area now.

"Well, although I saved Kal yesterday, Lex used the same device on him that he used on me, to make me forget my memories." Kara explains, "So, I want to try and help him get his memories back. I think momma is going to help me with that too."

"Oh... okay." Alura nods, "But can't you do that later? After our holiday?"

Kara and Alura move over to their living room, and take a seat on one of the couches.

"I wish we could, baby. But I think it is for the best if we try and fix everything as soon as possible. You have to remember, while Clark hasn't been the best person recently, particularly about momma, he still does have people who love him, including Lois, and his adopted mom Martha." Kara explains, "You wouldn't want them to be upset and suffer like you did when I couldn't remember you, would you?"

"No. I don't." Alura replies, "I like Lois. She's nice."

Kara chuckles. "Yes, she is certainly Clark's better half." Kara comments.

Alura nods her head, agreeing with her mother, even if she doesn't entirely understand what Kara's comment means.

Kara and Alura then spend the next 10 minutes chatting with one another, before Kara finally decides to begin making them all pancakes for breakfast. With Kara's super hearing, she can tell that Ruby and Sam are still asleep, but she suspects they will all be awake soon. Kara thinks the least she can do for Sam and Ruby, after having their lives disrupted, and looking after Alura yesterday, is to make them some yummy pancakes for breakfast. Of course, Alura insists on helping Kara with the pancakes, which the blonde is more than happy to agree to.

Another 10 minutes later, Kara and Alura have officially finished making 4 dozen pancakes, enough to feed a small army, or in this case, a hungry Kryptonian and 4 other people, who eat a regular amount of food. Luckily, Kara and Alura finishs their pancakes just in time, as Sam and Ruby join them as they plate up the final pancake.

"Oooo, something smells nice." Sam says, coming walking into the kitchen with Ruby.

"Yeah. We made everyone some pancakes." Kara says.

"That's good. I'm really hungry." Ruby says, licking her lips.

Kara chuckles.

"Ruby, why don't you help Alura set the table, and move all the bowls of toppings, and the pancakes, over there?" Kara suggests. "Okay." Ruby smiles, "Come on, Alura."

Alura and Ruby then begin moving everything onto the table, while Kara and Sam remain in the kitchen.

"Did you sleep well?" Sam asks Kara.

"Yep, amazingly. You?" Kara asks.

Sam nods her head.

"I didn't at first, because I was thinking about Alex. But she called me just after midnight, and we fell asleep talking to one another." Sam says.

Kara laughs.

"You guys are disgustingly cute." Kara smirks.

"I know." Sam replies, "Don't tell your sister that though. I'm sure she would take offense to it, and then stop being so cute."

Kara chuckles again, and does a zipping motion with her lips, before then throwing away the key.

"Anyway, is Lena up yet?" Sam asks.

"Uhhh.... no." Kara replies, "Alura and I woke up first, and I thought it would be better if I let Lena sleep, as she doesn't get enough as it is."
