Or what if, in order to take Lena out of the fight and even the playing field for Nyxly, Lex abducts Lena one night. Lena's shoved into the same room as Esme.

Esme throws herself tearfully against Lena's legs, and Lena just scoops her up and holds her, for ages and ages. When Esme's finally falls asleep, Lena sets about breaking them out.

Her signal watch is gone, and her magic is nullified, but that isn't Lena's true strength anyway. She hacks her way out of the room, and she takes Esme to try and escape Lex's bunker. When they're caught, Lena puts herself between Lex and Esme. She won't let Lex ruin another little girl.

But when Lex fires his gun at Lena-- because he's totally not above killing her-- the love totem activates and a shield emanates from Esme and envelopes them both. Because Esme loves Lena, and she protects the ones she loves.

Lena uses the distraction to scoop Esme up and run. They end up on a cliffside, and faced with a deathly drop and Lex's nefarious plans, Lena takes a deep breath. She looks at Esme. Esme looks at her.

"Do you trust me?" Lena asks her.

Esme nods.

Lena nods back, and hugs Esme close. She takes a deep breath, and plunges them both off the side of side of the cliff.

"SUPERGIRL!" she bellows, at the top of her lungs.

It's a harrowing plunge, and Lena can only hug Esme closer and close her eyes against the rapidly approaching ground. The next thing Lena knows, warms arms are around her, slowing their descent. Lena pries open her eyes, and chokes out a breath of relief at the sight of Kara's wide blue eyes.

"You found us," she gasps unnecessarily.

Kara nods, as stunned as she is. "Yeah," she says. "I just... knew."

Esme peeks out of Lena's arms, hugging her zebra tight. "Can we go home now?"

Lena gives Kara a small smile. "Yeah... can we go home?"

Kara nods. "Yeah. Let's go home."
