When Kara arrived on the terrace of Lena's penthouse, she found her waiting for her.

"I'm surprised you haven't put your cape on yet." Lena said.

"I have a few loose ends I need to tie up first, plus, I don't have a suit yet." Kara said.

"Well, I hope you're not here to try and convince me that we should make peace and that I should forgive you for lying to me." Lena said.

"No Lena, I'm not here for that, I'm here because I'm hoping that I can talk some sense into you by forcing you to see things from my perspective." Kara said.

"Your perspective is that you didn't trust me." Lena said.

"And can you blame me if I didn't?" Kara asked, taking Lena aback, since she had not been expecting that.

"Excuse me?" Lena asked.

"You're right, keeping my secret from you, it wasn't just because I wanted to protect you, it was because I wasn't sure I could trust you with it and honestly, after everything you've done, the messes you've made for me to clean up, are you really that surprised?" Kara asked.

"Kara." Lena said, but Kara held up her hand to stop her.

"No Lena, you've had your chance to say your piece, now it's time for you to listen to me say mine." Kara said, taking Lena aback.

"Yes, I kept one secret from you that was originally meant only to protect you, but honestly, as time went on, it was also because deep down, I didn't trust you and you can't exactly blame me. You kept multiple secrets from me the entire time we were friends and almost always, it created a mess that I had to clean up. Creating that transmatter portal led to an alien invasion that forced me to have to use your brother's weapon to make the atmosphere toxic to the man I loved to save the world." Kara reminded her, making Lena flinch, though she could tell that Kara was only getting started.

"I can kind of understand you keeping Sam being Reign a secret from me, since you weren't sure if you could trust the DEO, but what I cannot understand is you not only making kryptonite, but doing it behind my back. And then let's not forget your harun-el research. Research you never should've been doing in the first place." Kara said.

"That research saved James's life." Lena insisted, desperately trying to defend herself as Kara slowly destroyed each of the walls she'd put in front of herself and she did not like the image they were forming.

"The only reason James was shot is because Lex had it done in order to get you to stabilize the harun-el. Harun-El that he then used to give himself powers and frame me for attacking the white house." Kara reminded her.

"And then you say that you aren't a villain, but tell me, do your most recent actions especially back that up. You lied to me for months, you manipulated me, you stole from me and then you used Kryptonite on me. Does any of that sound familiar to you?" Kara asked.

"Are you saying?" Lena asked as she quickly understood where Kara was going with this and she didn't like it.

"Yeah I am. Everything you did since Lex told you I was Supergirl were things that he would do. I guess you're more of a Luthor than you'd thought. You're even as delusional as he is, thinking that what you're doing is not what a villain would do, that you're trying to save humanity. Though there were times when even he would admit that he was a villain." Kara said.

"You're accusing me of being a villain?" Lena asked.

"Can you honestly blame me Lena? Tell me, why should I trust someone who's actions, intentional or not, have nearly always ended up putting the world in trouble?" Kara asked angrily and she could tell that her words and her anger had been the wrecking ball that had torn down all of Lena's walls and her arguments.

"Are you done?" Lena asked.

"Yeah, I am. In the past I've defended your actions, told everyone that you're not like the rest of your family, but honestly, maybe I was wrong. Maybe you're just like your brother and your mother. But what I do know is that I'm done defending you. You step out of line and I will stop you." Kara said and Lena could tell that Kara was completely serious about that and now that her walls had been forcefully torn down, Lena could see Kara's point of view. After everything she'd done, she couldn't blame the kryptonian for not telling her the truth. If anything, she should be amazed that Kara ever had.

"And I don't blame you." Lena said, surprising Kara.

"I thought that this would be when you attempt to defend yourself and justify your actions." Kara said.

"And if I thought I could, I would, but I can't. Because, as much as I hate to admit it, you're right. I have not made it easy for you to trust me, but you did and I took advantage of it. Just like how Lex constantly took advantage of Superman's forgiving nature and his insistence that there is a good person inside my brother. Except we all know now that there is no goodness in my brother. I guess that we're more like our family members than I thought." Lena said.

"I'll take being compared to Superman as a compliment." Kara said.

"You should. You're both heroes. Me on the other hand, I am just a hypocrite who got her feelings hurt and because of that, I became exactly what I swore I never would be. A villain and I pushed away everyone who ever cared about me and to make things worse, I crossed the line that I knew that you'd never forgive me for." Lena said and Kara nodded.

"You used kryptonite on me. And honestly, that is why I was so angry with you when I first found out you were making it, because that was my fear. That you might use it on me and you proved me right." Kara said.

"I'm amazed you haven't let Alex lock me up in the DEO already." Lena said.

"You haven't committed any crimes on this earth yet Lena. The whole reason I'm having this talk with you is because I'm hoping that even if we can't fix our friendship, that you can at least keep from going down the same path Lex did, since we both know where it ended with him." Kara said.

"Yeah and not only do I intend to do whatever I have to in order to prevent myself from becoming him, I also do want to try and fix things between us Kara. That is, if they can even be fixed." Lena said.

"As much as I'd like that too Lena, you broke my trust. After everything I'd done to convince other people that you were not like the rest of your family, you proved me wrong in the worst way possible. And I'm not sure if I can forgive you for that. Or even if I should. But I do know one thing. I don't trust you and I can't have someone on my team that I don't trust." Kara said.

"Then give me a chance to earn it back." Lena said.

"And why would I do that?" Kara asked.

"Because Kara, I truly am sorry for everything I did to you and to everyone else." Lena said.

"I wish I could believe that." Kara said.

"Then have Alex or J'onn bring a truth seeker here. That way you'll know I'm telling you the truth." Lena suggested.

"The fact that it was your idea does earn you some credit. I'll make a call." Kara said as she pulled out her phone and called Alex.
