Send me some Kara and Alex prompts! It can be Kalex if you want, I'm open to writing that if you guys want it. Let me know about any errors!

She has a sister, now. In exactly one minute, Alex Danvers gained not only a new sister, but a new alien sister. Most kids get nine or so months to prepare to be siblings, but not her. No, she gets nine or so seconds before the alien is being ushered into her house. When she said she wanted a companion she was thinking along the lines of getting a puppy not getting an alien.

But of course, who cares what Alex thinks when there's a new alien in the house. An alien who freaks out over every little thing, who can't seem to act normal, and an alien who is just so annoying.

Superman comes to her home one day and expects her to just go, "Oh, yeah! An alien sister! Great!" but that's not happening. She never wanted a goddamn sister!

Doesn't matter what she wants though, because hours later she shares a home with a new alien sister. Hours later, there's an alien sitting on a bed in the room right next to hers. She tries to ignore it, hopes that soon Kara will be gone. And so when its time to go to bed, Alex says goodnight to her parents, ignores the alien, and stomps straight up to bed and falls asleep.

At approximately 4:52am, she wakes. Alex looks around sleepily, not entirely sure what woke her, before slumping back into her pillow. Her eyes are closed, sleep just around the corner, when she hears it.

She doesn't know what she hears, but she hears something. She sits up and strains her ears, attempting to figure out what the sounds are. It takes a few moments, but she pinpoints the noise coming from Kara's room.

When the realization of who's making noise hits her, Alex groans and falls back to bed. Promising to herself that she will ignore the alien who's interrupted her life. She closes her eyes, and tries to sleep.

At about 4:56am Alex begins to understand what the alien has been saying all this time. As the Kryptonian's voice grows steadily louder, but never loud enough to wake her parents, Alex covers her ears.

"Mother! Father! Please, don't leave me!"

"I-I won't f-fail you, Mother, I-I promise."

"No, no don't let me leave, please. No!"

"Mother! Mother! Mama…"

"I'm sorry…I failed you…I'm sorry, Kal-El, mother…"

"DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE, I LOVE YOU!"

"Mama…mama…mama…"

Alex continually tightens the pressure on her ears, trying her hardest to block the sounds out. She grits her teeth, and chants to herself in her head, just go to sleep just go to sleep just go to sleep.

She's not sure who it is she's thinking about, her or Kara. Either way, it's getting increasingly harder for Alex to not go and see Kara. To see what's wrong and help. She doesn't quite understand why, and it'll take a little while before she understands why she's suddenly feeling so protective, but she just wants to help Kara.

She hears sobbing, "I love you, I love you, I miss you, I miss you, I failed you, I failed you."

Alex's resolve dissolves as she jumps to her feet. She's already at Kara's door when she realizes what she's doing, and it doesn't stop her from twisting the handle to Kara's new bedroom.

She steps into the room and lays her eyes upon a truly heart-wrenching sight. The alien—Kara—is curled in the corner of her bed, tears flowing freely from her eyes. Eyes that are tightly closed. She's shivering, but also sweating, and her hands are almost ripping out her hair. She's mumbling and shouting variations of I'm sorry and I miss you and I love you. The sight makes Alex want to cry herself.

Alex walks slowly to Kara and kneels beside her head. She's unsure as to what the right thing to do is. Does she shake her? Shout to wake her? Or will those just terrify her even more? She doesn't know what to do.

Still, she does her best attempt and whisper, "Hey—hey, Kara…hey, wake up."

Kara simply continues sobbing and mumbling, except now she's roughly shaking her head left to right. Alex wants to help, this thirteen year-old does not deserve that terrified and wary expression on her face. Doesn't matter that Alex didn't want a sister, she's got to do something and help.

"Kara!" Alex shouts into the alien's ear, "wake up! It's just a nightmare."

Except, judging by the mumbles, it's not really a nightmare. It's her reality.

Frustrated, she grabs Kara's shoulders, "Kar—"

Kara snaps awake, her hands flying up and hitting Alex straight in the face. She scrambles away in fear, still trapped in the horror she saw in her dreams. She covers her face and continues to sob, awake this time.

Alex flies back when hit, and she can feel the blood streaming from her now instantly. She brings a hand up to wipe it away. When she sees the blood on her hand, her anger grows. That alien just had to injure her, didn't she?

Except, Alex thinks, she didn't mean to. She's just scared.

Her anger disputes and she sighs. Standing from the floor, Alex makes her way to Kara's bed. The mattress dips as she sits down, and Alex sighs once again as she takes in the sight before her.

"Kara," she whispers, "hey, listen, it's okay."

Kara shakes her head and Alex continues, "I…I know this must be hard for you, losing your entire planet, everything. I don't know how that must feel…"

She sighs, "But, it's going to get better. It may not feel like it, but my parents, Superman, they're all here for you."

She lowers her head for a moment and wipes more blood away before raising her head once more, resignation shining in her eyes, "And…I'm here for you, too."

Alex doesn't want a sister. Alex doesn't want this responsibility. Alex doesn't want Kara. But, the alien is in her life now. The alien needs someone, and even if Alex is jealous of her, scared of her, annoyed by her, it doesn't change the fact that Kara needs someone. She needs someone her age.

It's going to be tough, but Alex is resigned to being there for Kara at least somewhat. She's already growing attached to the little rascal.

Kara lifts her head and gasps, "Your nose! Oh Rao, did I do that?"

And Alex is amazed by this little girl in front of her. A girl who just moments ago was struggling to get away from the traumas that plague her in her sleep. A girl who now is nothing but concerned about Alex's wellbeing. A girl who can easily go from scared to caring in milliseconds, just because it's who she is.

And Alex's heart melts, because no amount of resentment or hatred or fear is possible to outweigh the utter sincerity in the alien's heart. A heart that she can already tell is made out of gold.

"Hey," Alex says, "its fine, okay? Trust me, I've definitely had worse."

She did break her arm a couple of times already, so she's not really lying. Still, the words do not seem to lift the guilt clouding Kara's features, and all Alex wants to do is wipe that horrible look of her face.

"Listen," Alex starts, "it's not your fault. You didn't realize what you were doing. It was an accident and it doesn't even hurt that much."

Now that was a lie. It hurt like shit, but Kara doesn't need to know that. It's not like not knowing will hurt her.

"A-are you sure," Kara whimpers, "I'm so sorry…I-I'm so sorry!"

"Kara," Alex whispers reassuringly, "no need to be sorry, okay?"

Kara nods and the guilt lifts slightly off her face. Alex smiles just a little bit, giddy at the slight win. She nods and then contemplates what to do next, before making a decision.

"Do you think you can fall asleep again?" Alex asks.

Kara whimpers and shakes her head, obviously too rattled to sleep on her own.

Alex hesitates before she sighs, "Do you—would you like me to…sleep with you? Just until you fall asleep."

The last sentence is rushed out, but any embarrassment vanishes at the look of gratitude her off grants her from Kara. Kara nods and Alex slides under the covers. It's awkward for a few moments before Alex decides fuck it and wraps an arm around Kara's shoulders. She pulls the alien towards her in a half-hug, and sighs. This is her life now…hugging aliens.

Kara smiles and sighs pleasantly before snuggling up against Alex. The elder Danvers stiffens, feeling uncomfortable at the sudden affection. But she sighs and relaxes when she realizes she's stuck. No getting out from under a Kryptonian.

Alex rests her head on Kara's and lays there. Before long Kara is asleep, a light smile gracing her face. Alex though, she stays awake for a bit longer, just thinking.

No longer than a few hours ago she didn't even want to look at Kara, much less hug and cuddle her. But, that's exactly what she's doing now. And the weird thing is, she doesn't regret entering the room, even though she got a bloody nose from it.

At least it's stopped bleeding by now. That's a plus, right? But no, the plus is that even if she doesn't want a sister, she's got one, and this someone is Kara. Kara is a person she could grow to accept as a sister, fully. Maybe not right now, and maybe not in the immediate future, but some time.

Alex sighs once more, before letting go of her thoughts and falling asleep. Her bed's too far away to move to. At least…that's what she tells herself, as she let's herself fall asleep with Kara in her arms.

Just before she falls asleep, she thinks, What am I going to tell mom and dad about the blood on my clothes?

Doesn't matter, though, that's a problem for later. Right now, she's just going to sleep with Kara right next to her.
