"Kara what the hell!" Alex exclaims jumping up from the couch and rushing over to her sister.

"Alex, what are you doing here?" Kara questions looking around her loft and noting a stack of pizza boxes and then realizing that Maggie Sawyer is sitting on her couch too.

"You've been gone since Friday night," Alex replies as if that should explain why she and Maggie are there.

"Where did you just come from?" Maggie questions in disbelief at the blue bubble that just disappeared leaving Kara in its wake.

"I, uh, Alex we should talk," Kara says motioning to her small balcony.

"You can talk in front of her, she, uh she knows everything," Alex admits nervously.

"She knows everything?" Kara asks, because that would be the first time that Alex has told anyone everything.

"Uh, yeah well you've been gone the whole weekend and your phone, keys and wallet were still here," Alex points out. "Winn did a sweep and found more tachyone particles, then we contacted Kal-El and he confirmed that you were off earth," she adds.

"Can I just interrupt a minute to say thanks? The other day when that cyborg shot me, you saved me and I didn't really get a chance," Maggie stammers still a bit unnerved that Alex's sister is Supergirl and just entered the loft from thin air.

"Of course," Kara replies still perplexed at the thought that Alex has told this woman everything, because Alex doesn't do that. She pauses to stare at the two of them for a moment before continuing.

"So after all of that happened, I came back here and Barry and his friend Cisco were waiting for me," she explains. Then turning to Maggie she adds, "Barry is The Flash on Earth 1, he's a super fast metahuman and Cisco works with him."

Maggie smirks because who Barry is wasn't her question. "Earth 1?"

But before Kara can respond Alex interrupts impatiently to ask, "Why were they here? What was happening on Earth 1 that you had to leave without even a text or phone call?"

"Aliens were invading Earth 1," Kara answers. "The Dominators, specifically and since they don't have any good aliens on Earth 1, they came and asked me to help."

"Wait, if they're on Earth 1, what Earth are we on?" Maggie interjects, still trying to comprehend this multiple Earth situation.

"We're on Earth 38," Kara replies.

"Earth 38. You mean that there are 37 other versions of earth?" Maggie asks incredulously.

"Actually according to Professor Stein there are an infinite number of Earths," Kara remarks as she begins to take off her jacket, then remembering the gift from Cisco, she pulls it out of her pocket and sets it down on the table.

"What is that?" Alex asks looking at the device.

"It's so cool, I can't wait to use it. It is an interdimensional device which will allow me to open a portal to travel between dimensions again," Kara replies.

"An interdimensional device?" Alex repeats.

"Cisco created it, he's some sort of tech genius," Kara comments, before heading over to the kitchen and going through the fridge. "I'm starving," she announces opening up the freezer and pulling out some ice cream.

"Kara, I don't think that you understand. You were gone, I've been going out of my mind worrying about you and you're just going to stand there eating ice cream," Alex blurts out angrily.

"Well, you ate all the pizza," Kara quips gesturing to the empty boxes on the counter.

"Uh, you know what. I'm just going to go and let you two hash this out alone," Maggie says grabbing her coat and slipping it on.

"Maggie wait," Alex calls out. Shooting Kara a glare that says this conversation isn't over, she walks Maggie to the door. "Uh thanks for, you know staying here with me and I know that I was not the best company," she stammers.

"It's fine Danvers. Just call me later, we have to discuss that raincheck," Maggie says flashing her a smile before stepping out the door. Alex follows her out and pulls her in to kiss her goodbye.

"Hmm," Maggie murmurs as they end the kiss. "Hey, maybe try talking to your sister instead of just yelling at her," she adds giving her hand a squeeze.

Stepping back inside the loft and closing the door behind her, Alex is about to say something when she sees the look on Kara's face.

"OHMYGOD. Alex you and Maggie!" Kara blurts out.

Alex runs her hands through her hair exasperated at her sister. But she can't help but smile.

"That's why I came here Saturday morning, to tell you about Maggie, but then you weren't here" Alex replies.

"In my defense, it only seemed like I was gone a day," Kara remarks.

"How does that even work?" Alex asks.

"I'll tell you, but first you have to tell me how you and Maggie got together," Kara offers.

"Okay, but I need some of that ice cream," Alex says grabbing the container and a spoon from the drawer. "Oh and you're out of bottled water and scotch," she adds.

"You couldn't have waited for me at your apartment?" Kara asks sarcastically, before taking off her shoes and plopping down on the couch.

"All your stuff was here, so I assumed that you'd come back here," Alex points out.

"So when did you and Maggie get together and please tell me that you didn't have sex on this couch," Kara questions glancing around.

"Kara god no! And well we haven't ... it's still really new. And we haven't even had a date yet," Alex replies.

"But she's spent the weekend here with you?" Kara asks with a smile.

"Yeah, she's been so so great and I've been a total mess," Alex remarks.

"Sorry, I just didn't realize that I'd be gone that long," Kara reminds her. "So what happened before you found me gone?"

"Okay, so I was patching her up and I told her that I was going to be okay with just being friends with her. That I accepted that she and I were at different places and that's all we could be," Alex answers.

"Wow, she must have been relieved after everything that you'd said to her before," Kara points out.

"I was kind of a bitch before, but she's just been so understanding in all of this. Well, these emotions are new to me, I haven't felt like this about anyone in a long time, maybe ever, if I admit it," Alex counters.

"Okay, so then how did you two end up together now," Kara asks.

"Well, after we talked she showed up at my place with pizza and beer and kissed me," Alex explains flushing a little at the memory.

"Yes!" Kara blurts out, pulling her sister in for a big hug.

Alex pulls away a little adding, "I came over here the next morning to tell you and that's when I realized that you were missing. I've been here ever since," she adds punching her sister's shoulder.

"Hey, are those my clothes?" Kara asks suddenly.

"Yeah, I've been here waiting for you, you idiot!" Alex blurts out again.

"Gosh, I'm sorry. I really messed up your weekend," Kara replies sincerely.

"Actually, it wasn't totally a bad thing, because we talked. I talked to her about Dad and you...I've never told anyone everything before. It feels amazing," Alex admits.

Kara looks away, hearing Alex talking about being open and honest with her girlfriend suddenly hits Kara hard. She's not really ever had that. James was the closest that she's come, he knew everything, but they didn't have this.

"Hey, are you okay?" Alex asks reaching over to cup her sister's chin and turn her face towards her.

"I'm just really tired right now. Maybe we could talk more later," Kara murmurs.

"What just happened?" Alex inquires more firmly, but her tone is soft and caring.

"It's just," Kara pauses, "I want that with someone," she murmurs softly.

But Alex can tell there is much more to it. "Talk to me Kara," she prompts slipping an arm around her.

Kara shakes her head as if to clear it and then promptly changes the subject.

"Did you know that on Earth 1, I don't have to hide who I am. I'm just Kara Zor-El, Supergirl."


After Alex leaves, Kara can't stop thinking about everything they talked about. And while she is amazingly happy for her sister, she can't stop thinking about how it felt on Earth 1 to just be herself, Kara Zor-El. And her mind keeps going back over all the people that she met there. Barry had talked to Kara about meeting his doppelganger on another Earth and then Caitlin mentioned that she too had met her doppelganger. At the time Kara hadn't really thought anything about it, since she didn't exist on Earth 1, but that doesn't mean she doesn't exist on one of the other Earths. Climbing out of bed, she pads over to the table to look at the interdimensional device that Cisco gave her. What if she could use it to visit other Earths, just to see what her other lives look like?
