Sorry about the formatting yesterday, I should've known I would have to check with this website. So, here's the actual chapter 2.
"You want to what?" Alex demanded loudly, after Kara told her she wanted to adopt a child.
Kara remained calm, despite Alex's obvious confusion. There was nothing Alex could say that would make her change her mind, and she knew she would try. This was a big decision, and Kara was sure she wanted to do this.
"Alex, I know this is big news-"
"Big news?!" Alex's eyes widened, "Kara, I would love for you to have kids, whether they're your own, or adopted, but you can't rush decisions like this! Kids are a lot of responsibility, especially alone. Are you sure you're ready to prepare a little human for the world?"
Kara nodded, "Of course I know kids are a lot of work! But I really think I can become a good mother!"
Alex sighed, "I don't doubt that you wouldn't…it's just…are you sure you're ready for this responsibility?"
"I'm sure, Alex." Kara assured her.
"Okay. If you're sure." Alex concluded, but Kara knew she was only dropping the subject to avoid further argument. Alex obviously didn't agree with her choice, but she saw Kara was set on it- and when Kara is set on something, she doesn't give up.

Later that day, there was a fire in a nearby elementary school, and Supergirl went to assist the fire department. By the time Kara made it, the entire building was engulfed in flames. She saw a large group of children who made it out of the building in time, so Kara went in to look for any children who got trapped inside.
Kara zoomed around the school building, and almost thought all the students had made it out. As she was about to leave, she heard a tiny voice yell, "Help!"
The yelling was followed by a fit of coughs, and Kara flew towards the sound, which led to a room filled with smoke and debris, similar to the other rooms throughout the school.
She dug through the debris, and saw a small girl, who couldn't have been no older than five. Her hair was covered in dirt, hiding her true hair color. The girl was barely conscious, but when she saw Kara she smiled a little.
"Supergirl, is that you?" Her breathless voice.
Kara whispered, "Yes it's me, let me get you to safety."
***
Kara waited outside the young girl's hospital room, in her Supergirl uniform, of course. She found out from one of the teachers she was a girl named Julia, but she didn't quite get her last name. Normally, Kara didn't stay with the people she saved, though she keeps in touch, but there was something about this girl….
Kara was told that only family were allowed to see Julia, so when the doctor opened the door, she expected to see her parents and maybe a few siblings, but the only person who came out was an older girl, who looked about seven, who walked up to Kara and gave her a large bear hug. "Thank you for saving my sister."
Then the girl sat down. Kara looked over at the secretary, "Where are her parents."
The secretary looked at her sympathetically, "She doesn't have any- she lives at the orphanage."
Kara then let that sink in, "The orphanage?"
Anyways thank you all for being so understanding of the formatting and kindly informing me.
Now that you can actually read it, please review;)
