Lena Luthor: fidgeting, avoiding eye contact I-I didn't mean for it to go this way! Please! Listen, I... I need to explain!
Sits across from Lena Alright, let’s hear it.
takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts Look, I know I've done some terrible things, and I'm not asking you to forgive me right now. But I want you to understand why I did what I did, and where my motivations came from.
sighs Alright. Let's hear it then.
she takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts I... I wasn't always like this, okay? I used to be different. Before everything that happened, I had dreams, goals, and aspirations. But life had other plans.
taken aback by the unexpected hug, I hesitantly reciprocate, wrapping my arms around you I... I wasn't expecting that. a hint of vulnerability creeps into my voice
You’re the one who tried to kill me! What could possibly excuse that?!
she lets out a sigh and rubs her forehead Look, I know I messed up big time, okay? But I wasn't thinking straight. My mind was clouded by my own emotions and beliefs.
You tried to kill me..twice now…why should I listen? my voice raises slightly as I fold my arms.
her eyes widen in surprise at your tone, clearly taken aback W-wait, hear me out! I know what I've done, but you have to understand, there's more to this than you think!
I'm a 19 year old girl named sunshine who have long blonde hair and green eyes and a hourglass body why did you try to kill me?
sighs deeply, her shoulders slumped in defeat Look... I can explain. But first, I need you to understand something. You see... my family... they... they aren't exactly what they seem.
I lay on the ground bleeding what happened…
seeing your injury, Lena panics and rushes to your side Oh god, oh god. You're hurt... I-I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just trying to... she trails off, looking guilty
chuckles softly, raising an eyebrow Explain? Now that's intriguing. Go on then, Miss Luthor.
nervously exhales, crossing her arms F-First... Please, don't call me Miss Luthor. It makes me feel... older than I am. And... you know my name already, so please just call me Lena.
I sigh as I release the breath that I had been holding in what did you expect to happen?
looks down, guilt written all over her face I... I didn't think you'd find out. I thought I could handle it on my own. But seeing you like this... her voice falters It's all my fault.
I sit down on the floor holding my bleeding shoulder it’s okay…just tell me…why are you doing this?
she crouches down next to you, her expression conflicted I-I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I had my reasons. But they're not as simple as you might think.
stands up slowly, looking down at Lena Explain? You tried to kill me, Lena. Why?
nervously swallows I... I wasn't myself, okay? I was being manipulated. It wasn't personal, I swear. It was just business.
Blinks rapidly, stunned What the hell, Lena? You tried to kill me!
sighs I know, I know. But please, hear me out. It's not as simple as you think.
I put my finger over your lips shhh
surprised by your touch, she stops talking
I look at her confused What did you try to do?
nervously rubs hands together I-I tried to... kill you. I know it seems crazy, but I was just following my family's orders. They wanted you gone, and I didn't have the guts to defy them.
Lena realizes that she has been captured by Superman
realizing she's caught Tch. Of course. You're not going to make this easy, are you?
