(Cut to Tina’s fortress. Tina is sitting in her private quarters thinking about Kate and Bette. Lara appears)

Lara: What is troubling you Kirana?

Tina: (Looks up at her mother) My oldest friend is in love with me but I don’t feel that way for her and there is my best friend who I feel so much for but I am unable to tell her because I am scared of hurting the other

Lara: It is Bette you feel for isn’t it?

Tina: I do not want to hurt Kate mother; but, at the same time, I can no longer deny my feelings for Bette

Lara: I had the same dilemma once

Tina: But I always thought…

Lara: (Laughs) No Kirana, your uncle Zor-El was also in love with me

Tina: Zor-El?

Lara: He was your father’s younger brother, he was spurned when I choose Jor-El over him. His wife had died and had left him to raise his son on his own. He was finding it hard to cope with a teenage boy

Tina: What happened?

Lara: He made an attempt on your father’s life, that act was unforgivable

Tina: What happened to the teenage boy?

Lara: Kal-El was killed, as the rest of us were, when Krypton imploded

Tina: What happened after the assassination attempt?

Lara: Jor-El cut all ties with his brother, however Kal-El kept watch over you many times before your home was destroyed

Tina: I would have loved to meet him

Lara: Your cousin was a good boy and so much different from his father

Tina: What should I do about Kate and Bette?

Lara: Go with your heart Kirana, where there is love there will always be hurt it is unavoidable

Tina: (Nods slowly) I understand

Lara: I will see you soon my daughter

(Lara disappears and Tina, with a new perspective, realises that Bette was the one she wanted. She takes off in flight; she’d just be in time for her lecture. Cut to Kate and Alice’s apartment. Kate is sitting at her desk writing a letter to Tina)

Kate’s voice: Tina, we have known each other since we were little girls; we are the best of friends but for years I have struggled with my feelings for you. Since High School I have desperately in love with you but have been too cowardly to say it. I know that you have feelings for Bette and I am not going to stand in the way of you two because I realise, after months of watching you two, that you’re destined to be together or so Alice says. Just understand that I will always love you Tina. You were my first love and I will never forget that. Goodbye old friend. Forever yours. Kate
