Eliza

A few hours after Lena changed to remove the sick from her clothes Eliza arrives. Lena has just been sitting in the medical room with Kara and Alura, going over more medical data in regards to Alura, while at the same time Lena has been keeping a watchful eye on both Kara and her daughter. Thankfully Alura hasn't been sick again, and has just been dozing in and out of sleep.

"How is she?" Eliza asks as she enters the room with Alex following closely behind her, surprising Lena.

"She was sick a while ago and hasn't got any better." Kara says.

Eliza then looks over at Lena, noticing her for the first time.

"Who are you? I don't believe we've been introduced?" Eliza asks.

Kara stands up and walks over to Lena, putting herself between her adoptive mother and Lena.

"Eliza, this is Lena Luthor a.... friend of mine..... I've asked her to help us to try and.... fix Alura..... she's been working tirelessly since you left to go get the research from your friend." Kara explains hoping Eliza doesn't have a reaction like Clark did, or Alex did at first.

As Kara explains who Lena is to Eliza, Lena is pretty nervous. She's well aware that it's likely that yet another member to Kara's family is about to yell at her or say they don't trust her or whatever, and Lena still very much understands that. But at this point Lena's just tired of it. She's much rather they just get passed this stupid bullshit so they can actually save this beautiful soul before them.

"It's nice to meet you Lena, it's a privilege to have you helping us." Eliza smiles as she holds out her hand for Lena to shake.

Lena is absolutely shocked, she was so sure that Eliza would be standoffish to her at the very least. But she's not. Eliza seems happy to welcome her into the fold.

"Thank you, Mrs Danvers. I look forward to working with you." Lena smiles as she shakes Eliza's hand.

"Please, call me Eliza." Eliza smiles.

"O...okay ... Eliza." Lena nods with a slight smile.

"Right." Alex interrupts. "So did you get the research mom?"

"Yes. It's very interesting, but some of it is honestly beyond me." Eliza explains.

"Okay, well why don't we have a look at the data in another room so we can give Alura some peace and quiet?" Alex suggests.

"Of course. Here." Eliza says as she hands the folders to Alex. "I'll meet you in the lab next door. I just want to say hello to Alura."

"Okay." Alex nods, "Come on Lena, lets go get started."

Lena nods at Alex and leaves the room with her. Once Lena and Alex have left the room Eliza turns to look at Kara.

"And how are you doing honey?" Eliza asks with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm fine." Kara replies.

"Kara, you don't have to lie to me." Eliza says sternly.

Kara sighs.

"Okay. I'm terrified, still." Kara admits.

"Oh honey, it'll all be okay." Eliza says as she takes Kara in for a hug.

Kara hugs Eliza back and after a few moments the two part.

"Lena has been giving me hope though. She has been working non stop since she got here. The only break she's taken is when I made her go to sleep last night just because I told her I didn't want her working on Alura while she's tired. Even then she stayed here in the DEO to sleep, just so she could be here in case anything happened. She's also already helped Alura by getting her some special tea from Ireland that has helped her throat immensely. Then a few hours ago, just before Alura threw up Lena actually was able to take Alura on a little walk to the kitchen and back." Kara explains.

Eliza smiles at Kara.

"Well Lena sounds like an incredible woman. I really hope she can help us, and I look forward to getting to know her. I've actually read a few of her papers." Eliza say.

"Yeah. Alura has already taken a liking to her, so that's something." Kara replies.

"Okay, well let me just say hello to Alura then I'll go join Alex and Lena." Eliza says.

Kara gives her adoptive mother a nod as they both walk over to Alura's bed. Eliza gets to Alura's side and gently rubs Alura's head, moving the hair out of her face.

"Hey, Alura honey, grandma's back." Eliza says softly.

Alura gently moves in her bed before she opens her eyes slowly and looks at Eliza.

"Grandma." Alura smiles.

"Hey little darling. How are you feeling?" Eliza asks.

"I... was sick..." Alura says.

"I know. Do you feel better now?" Eliza asks again.

"A bit." Alura mumbles.

"Okay, well you get some rest. Grandma's going to go next door to work on something to help make you better, hopefully." Eliza explains.

"Okay, 'ove you grandma." Alura nods and then yawns, closing her eyes again.

"Love you too my sweet granddaughter." Eliza says as she kisses Alura on the forehead.

Eliza then moves away from the bed and turns to Kara.

"Okay, I'll be right next door if you need anything. Okay?" Eliza says.

"Okay." Kara nods.

Eliza then exits the medical room which Alura is staying in and walks next door to the lab which they have been using the last few weeks to run various tests on various machines. In the very middle of the lab is a big table. Lena and Alex have already laid out the folders on the table as they sit on opposite sides from one another. Alex is already reading through one folder while Lena is reading through another.

"Alright ladies. Let's get started." Eliza says as she picks up another folder and begins reading.

Over the next few hours the three women read through several of the folders, exchanging them between each other and pointing out key bits to one another when they come across them. Lena is the first of the three women to finish reading the folders and while she waits she accesses a computer and begins looking through more of the medical data on Alura. About 10 minutes after Lena finishes reading the folders Eliza and Alex finish up.

"Uhh well..." Alex says.

"Yes, that was a lot." Eliza replies.

"I don't even know where to begin." Alex says.

"It's because, no offence Eliza, but this is useless." Lena says.

"What?! How can you say that so quickly?" Alex asks surprised and a bit annoyed.

"It's okay Alex, let her explain." Eliza says, making sure her daughter doesn't over react.

"These folders have some incredible insight and knowledge into a variety of aliens and their DNA structures. The comparisons between these aliens and human DNA is absolutely fascinating. As these files explain how alien DNA has some similarities to our human DNA but ultimately it's vastly different." Lena says.

"Yes? And?" Alex asks.

"And this study doesn't include Kryptonian DNA. If it did it would mention that unlike the other alien DNA in the research, Kryptonian DNA is actually very similar to human DNA, it just has some tweaks at the very core of the DNA structure. This means it would be impossible to replicate in humans. As to put it in simpler terms, the foundation of the Kryptonian DNA is different from ours, but everything else 'on top of it' is similar or the same. The problem obviously being that you can't just remove the foundation from the DNA and swap it to humans." Lena explains.
