AN: IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN INFINITY WAR BUT WOULD LIKE TO NOT BE SPOILED, PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. ALSO, HAVING SEEN INFINITY WAR WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT YOU BECAUSE YOU KIND OF NEED CONTEXT MAYBE.
Truth: I LOVE all the MCU movies BUT I would never watch Civil War again. It was a cinematic masterpiece but when I watched it at the theater, I had three panic attacks. I couldn't handle it... I wish I was joking.
Anyway, to me, Infinity War was just the right amount of angst for me, notches below Civil War, which means I can write this and feel good about myself.
Kara Danvers is Supergirl, but Supergirl is not Kara Danvers. Supergirl is the girl of steel, the girl who can fly, the girl who is invincible. Kara Danvers is normal. Supergirl should not be Kara Danvers, but if the opportunity presents itself, Kara Danvers should try and be Supergirl, hero to all.
"Kara, Kara... Kara."
Her name is chanted over and over again. She's not Supergirl right now. She's donned in the cape, but she's not Supergirl. She's Kara.
She's Kara Danvers, a regular person who just has to have pesky emotions and a heart that's splintering.
"Kara."
Oliver's gone. One minute, he's injured but right there in their arms; the next, he's dust.
"I'm here, Barry."
"It... hurts."
She's Kara Danvers, not Supergirl, and yeah, at this moment, she wouldn't want to be.
"You can... You can let go, Barry."
She's Kara Danvers, not for the world or herself, but for him.
"Kara."
She's Kara Danvers, nice to meet you.
"I'm here, Barry. I'm here."
No, she's not Supergirl.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
She's not the girl of steel; her heart's made of glass.
"Oliver?"
She's not the girl who can fly; she crashes face first.
"He's... not here. But he loves you, Barry."
She's not invincible.
"I know. You both do. And we love you, too, Kara."
If she had been, she would have been a hero to all. Not like now, when she couldn't even save her own family.
"Barry."
She's Kara Danvers and Supergirl, but she has to remember—
"I love you, and I'm sorry." Dust in her hands, slowly, like Ollie is. Torture; that's what this is. Dust all over her fingerprints; they're part of her identity now: a murderer.
—Kara Danvers came before Supergirl.
inspired by that goddamn infamous scene: "i dont feel so good."
