Lena & Alura Day 4 & 5

Monday morning arrives and Lena and Alura have already fallen in to a bit of a routine. Lena showers and dresses, wakes Alura up, feeds them both breakfast, has Alura go shower and get dressed, then they are both out the door before 8.

"Lena?" Alura asks as they drive to Alura's school.

"Yes daring?" Lena replies.

"Why don't you have a Christmas tree?" Alura asks.

"Oh.... I don't really celebrate Christmas." Lena replies.

"Why not?" Alura questions.

"Because I've never really had anyone to celebrate it with. I'm usually alone on Christmas doing work." Lena answers.

"You're not alone now." Alura says.

Lena looks in the rear view mirror and smiles.

"I guess not." Lena says.

"So you should get a tree." Alura says firmly.

Lena giggles.

"I'll tell you what. I'll have Jess get a tree for my apartment and we can then decorate it together. How does that sound?" Lena asks.

"Good!" Alura nods with a big grin.

A while later Lena is sitting in a meeting, it's just after 1. The meeting she is currently in has several people droning on about stuff that Lena couldn't care less about and frankly doesn't need to know about, but as CEO she has to keep up her appearances. The meeting drags on until Lena spots Jess outside the conference room, through the glass wall, looking worried. Lena looks over at her assistant and she sees that Jess is gesturing her to come out of the room and talk to her. Lena hopes that Jess is just being amazing and trying to save her from the boring meeting, but she doubts that. Lena presumes that there is some other bullshit with L-Corp that she urgently has to deal with.

"Excuse me." Lena announces as she stands up from her chair.

"But Miss Luthor...." The man who was speaking begins.

"I won't be but a moment. It seems there is something that requires my urgent attention." Lena replies, not even looking at the man.

Lena then heads out of the conference room and joins Jess outside, breathing a sigh of relief before she deals with whatever the next situation is.

"Miss Luthor!" Jess says, urgently.

Lena sighs, obviously it's a situation, not Jess helping her get out of a boring meeting.

"What is it Jess?" Lena asks.

"I got a call from Alura's school. She's been hurt." Jess says quickly, clearly panicked.

"What?! What happened?!" Lena asks, now panicking herself.

"The school said they tried to phone you on your numbers, but they couldn't reach you, so they called mine that you gave them. They said Alura got into a fight at school and hit her head. Apparently she's okay and there is no permanent damage but they'd like you to come pick her up." Jess explains.

"Yes alright." Lena says, quickly getting a move on and heading in the direction of the nearest elevator. "Please tell the conference I'm leaving for today and cancel all my meetings for the remainder of the day."

"Yes, of course Miss Luthor." Jess nods.

"Oh and could you also look into getting me a 6 - 7 foot Christmas tree to be delivered to my penthouse tomorrow?" Lena asks.

"Of course, right away." Jess nods.

"Thank you." Lena says as she steps inside the elevator.

"Please tell Alura I hope she's okay." Jess smiles.

Lena nods and the doors to the elevator close.

Lena arrives at Alura's school. She has been panicking all the way, probably breaking a few traffic laws while doing so, but Lena doesn't care. All Lena cares about is getting to Alura as soon as possible to make sure that she is truly alright. It truly scares Lena that Alura got hurt. She hates the idea of the girl getting a single scratch on her.

Lena quickly gets out of her car and makes her way through the school to where the secretary at the schools front desk pointed her to. Lena arrives at the Nurses office and goes inside. Once she opens the door she sees Alura sitting on a bed with a big white plaster on her head.

"Alura!" Lena says quickly as she runs over to the girl.

"Lena..." Alura says softly, not sounding too good.

"Are you okay?" Lena asks worried.

"No. My head got hurt, and my hands and knees." Alura says with tears in her eyes.

Lena looks down and sees that Alura has some grazes on her hands and knees, clearly they have been bleeding a bit.

"Oh Alura." Lena says as she brings the girl in for a hug.

As Lena hugs Alura the nurse comes over to them both.

"Hello, I'm Nurse Hatcher. I presume you are Miss Luthor? The one currently taking care of Alura?" The nurse asks.

Lena turns to look at the nurse, she is an older woman in her mid sixties with short curled grey hair. She is wearing a typical nurses uniform, including the white hat.

"Yes I am." Lena nods.

"Okay. Well Alura got a nasty bump to the head, causing it to split open. It didn't need any stitches and she doesn't seem to have a concussion. Other than that, she has a few scraps to her hands and knees." The nurse explains.

"Okay, thank you. What happened?" Lena asks.

"Uhmm.... I don't know. Mrs Landingham can tell you. I'll just go get her." The nurse replies and heads out of the room.

Lena then turns her attention back to Alura.

"Darling, what happened?" Lena asks.

"We..... we were on the playground...... and Billy...... he said that Supergirl is an idiot...... and that aliens should all die...... I told him that's not true and not very nice..... he then yelled at me...... I yelled back..... as he was saying bad things about mommy....... He then pushed me and I fell over on my hands and knees and hit my head on the ground." Alura explains.

"Oh darling. That's not nice." Lena says.

"I know." Alura nods and begins to silently cry.

Lena takes Alura in for a hug once more. The two continue to hug for a few minutes until they are interrupted by the door to the nurses office opening and Mrs Landingham entering.

"Hello Miss Luthor." Mrs Landingham says.

Lena turns around and looks at the teacher.

"Hello." Lena nods.

Mrs Landingham approaches Alura.

"How are you feeling Alura?" The teacher asks.

"It still hurts." Alura replies.

Mrs Landingham nods and then looks at Lena again.

"I'm not sure how much Alura has told you. But from what we can gather Alura and a boy called Billy got into an argument over something. It seems that Alura wanted to walk away from Billy but he decided to push her over, resulting in Alura hitting her head on the tarmac and hurting her hands and knees. Thankfully a colleague of mine saw the incident and we quickly got Alura to the nurses office." Mrs Landingham explains.
