Chapter 88

Okay everyone, I just realized that it's been over a year since I started this story and this series and it's still going strong. Been awhile since I've made it this far in a series and I hope that it'll last a while longer. I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it and don't worry, I have no plans on ending it any time soon. Especially considering how close I am to hitting 100 chapters in this story. A feat I haven't reached since Destiny and Love Rewritten.

Kara was surprised when she got a call from Clark, asking her to meet him at Lana Lang's house in Smallville and to bring Lena. She assumed that Lana wanted to talk about what happened during the Fort Rozz mission and things had finally settled down enough for it, but she did wonder why she wanted Lena there.

But it was good that they were going out to Smallville, since Kara wanted to check in on the mines she owned, especially now that she knew that the person she'd prevented from buying them was actually another Kryptonian supervillain. There were a lot more of those on Earth than she thought there'd be. Kara wanted to know why Tal-Rho had been interested in the mines, since she remembered him from Krypton and she doubted it was anything good.

"So, why did your cousin want us to meet him here?" Lena asked as Kara landed them in front of Lana Lang's house in Smallville.

"I don't know why he wanted you to come, but I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that Lana saved his life during the Fort Rozz mission." Kara said.

"Yeah, you're still gonna need to explain to me how that happened." Lena said as Clark and Lana came out of the house.

"Kara." Lana said with a smile as she moved to hug her.

"Hey Lana. It's good to see you." Kara said happily.

"And what about me?" Clark asked with a smile as Kara moved on to hug him.

"I see you way more than I see Lana. But why did you want me to bring Lena here?" Kara asked.

"I asked him to, since this kind of involves her too." Lana said.

"What involves me?" Lena said.

"Let's just say that the first guy Lana dated after we broke up wasn't exactly an improvement." Clark said and it only took Lena a second to realize what that meant.

"Wait, you and Lex?" Lena asked.

"It was a very short relationship while I was on the rebound from Clark, since he'd just moved to Metropolis and Lex had been here on business. It was before he started his descent into madness. He was actually pretty charming." Lana admitted.

"I remember. He was the only member of the Luthor family I liked before he went insane. But wait, how do you know about any of this? And how do you have powers?" Lena asked, since that was killing her.

"You didn't tell her?" Lana asked Kara.

"It wasn't my secret to tell without your permission." Kara said and Lana nodded at her gratefully.

"Clark wasn't the only Kryptonian refugee to grow up in Smallville. I'm from Krypton too." Lana said as she looked around before floating about two feet off the ground just to prove it.

"Wait, what?" Lena asked.

"My Kryptonian name is Lana Kel-Em. Just like Clark and Kara's parents, my parents also believed that Krypton was dying, so they sent me to Earth to save me. It just happened to be a coincidence that my pod and Clark's pod landed in the same town at the same time." Lana said as she landed and led them inside.

"Clark and Lana were actually a bit of a crime fighting duo here in Smallville when they were teenagers. Until they went on different paths. Clark chose to move to Metropolis and become Superman while Lana chose to stay here to try to live a normal life." Kara said.

"Though part of that was because of my relationship with Lex, which did not end well, since it was around the time Clark became Superman and Lex started his downward spiral." Lana said.

"How long were you two together?" Lena asked.

"About two years. I thought that I could keep Lex sane. But the more obsessed he became with Superman, the more I realized I couldn't be with him safely, since if he found out what I was, I don't even want to think about what he would've done to me." Lana said.

"Wait, how long ago was this?" Kara asked.

"About 15 years ago." Lana said and she could tell that Kara was putting the pieces together.

"Lex is your daughter Sarah's biological father isn't he?" Kara asked and Lana took a deep breath before she nodded.

"I'm trusting you both with my greatest secret. The only people I've trusted this secret with before is Clark and Lois, since they helped me through my pregnancy with Sarah and Lois used her contacts in the government to help me keep the truth about Sarah's father a secret, since how do I tell her that her biological father is the most wanted man in the world." Lana said.

"So she knows that your ex-husband isn't her birth father." Lena asked and Lana nodded.

"She knows that Kyle is her father in every way that matters, though I've managed to keep her from finding out about her biological father until now by discouraging that topic, but now she's doing an ancestry project for school, which means there's a good chance she'll find out, not to mention she's at the age where her powers will start developing. So I've decided to tell her everything, but I wanted all of you here before I do it. Clark and Kara because of your kryptonian heritage and Lena because you're Sarah's aunt." Lana said.

"And we'll do everything we can to help you Lana." Kara promised and Lena and Clark both nodded in agreement.

"While I'm here, I want to check out the mines and find out why exactly Tal-Rho was so interested in buying them before I stopped him." Kara said.

"Thank you for buying them by the way. You've helped a lot of people get back to work." Lana said, since Kara buying the mines had provided new jobs to Smallville.

"Of course. This town has done so much for the House of El, how can I not return the favor." Kara said.

"Changing topic slightly, you never explained to me the whole situation with Tal-Rho apparently being my brother." Clark asked and Kara sighed.

"It's a long story, but it starts with Krypton believing in arranged marriages." Kara said.

"Seriously?" Lena asked.

"The planet was old fashioned in a lot of ways. But natural pairings were more encouraged. But anyways, before your mother met your father, she was matched with a scientist named Zeta-Rho and I still don't know what she did to deserve a punishment like that, since Zeta was a creep of the highest order. But they did have a son together, Tal-Rho. But when your parents met, your mom left Zeta, since one of the only times divorce was acceptable on Krypton was if a true love pairing was found and could overrule an arranged pairing and she married your dad." Kara said.

"Wow, your family's almost as messy as mine." Lena said.

"You have no idea." Kara said.
