Alex and Kara sat cuddled up on the couch watching a rerun of Friends, awaiting the moment when the pizza man would arrive with they're dinner.
"I've seen this episode way to many times." Kara complained, rolling her eyes.
"Yet, you still continue to watch it." Alex smirked, it was true. They had seen this episode at least thirty times.
"I don't have a clue why." Kara's eyes still didn't even glance away from the screen.
"Because you love it and it's your all time favorite, don't deny it. You know it is." Alex pointing an accusing finger at Kara.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Kara sighed and looked through the door, getting up and answering it before the pizza man could even knock.
"Uhhhh. Your total is ten dollars and twenty three cents, tip and delivery included." A young teenager, possible sixteen, explained. His voice was in between being high and low, his face covered acne, and he stood awkwardly at the door, holding the pizza even more awkwardly.
His hair was a curly mop of brown on his head, and he almost dropped the pizza in the process of handing it to Kara.
Yet something was very off about him, though Kara couldn't place it. He seemed antsy and anxious to get away, like someone was threatening him.
"Are you okay?" Kara was tempted to just shut the door, but something in the boys brown eyes stopped her.
"Y-yeah. Totally fine." He tapped his foot impatiently.
"Are you sure? First day jitters?" Kara raised and eyebrow at the young man.
"S-s-sure. I guess. Will you just take the pizza? Please, I'm in a hurry." He begged.
That's when Kara saw it. A shadow loomed against the wall. Kara stepped out and she noticed a large man in all black duck behind it.
Kara stepped back inside and gave Alex a look that said 'Please stall the boy, I'm going to check things out.'
Alex nodded in understanding and came to the door.
Kara immediately changed into her super suit, flying out of her window and into her building again.
"Just what do you think your doing with that gun?" Kara stood behind him, her arms folded in disapproval.
"N-nothing!" He stuttered, shocked to find Supergirl standing behind him.
"You know, for once in my life I would like a normal crime free day, but people just have to ruin it, don't they? So tell me. What's your reasoning? Why follow a pizza boy and put a gun to his head? For what, eleven dollars? Are you that desperate?" Kara was unimpressed with the burly man.
"Yes!" He yelled, raking his fingers through his black hair.
"Why?" It was a simple word that had many answers.
"I- I just do!" Kara could tell he didn't and that there was something bigger at stake. Most likely, he planned to rob her as soon as the pizza boy left.
"Fine. Fine. Who am I to judge?" Kara advanced forward, placed her hand against the gun as he fired it on impulse. "Did you not hear that Kryptonians are bullet proof?" Kara almost chuckled.
After she dropped the man, Drew Crane, off at the police station, Kara returned home to Alex sitting on the couch enjoying a pot sticker.
Both were still unsure of the pizza, as it was probably poisoned or something.
So Kara sat down with Alex and reached for a pot sticker.
"I just don't understand why we can't have a peaceful day. Like, what did we ever do to deserve so much restlessness?" Alex complained, starring, more like glaring, at the ceiling in mild annoyance.
"Oh come on, Alex. It is not that bad." Kara said, and when Alex have her a look, (her signature raised eye brown and side eye) Kara sighed. "Fine, you want peace? Let's get outta here." Kara stood heading to her room and collecting various items.
She grabbed two towels, two bathing suits, a beach bag, and water bottles.
"Let's go. Wear sandals." Kara said abruptly, not explaining anything.
She stood on her balcony waiting for Alex.
"Kara. You shouldn't be flying in-"
"My regular clothes and not with you while it's still day light out. Yeah, I know Alex. Come on, it's not that big of a deal." Kara cut Alex off and the older women sighed, climbing onto Kara's back and trying not to be irritated at her sister for not listening.
She couldn't lie; she really did enjoy the feeling of the cool evening air and the view of the city below. From up here, it was as if everything was perfect and beautiful, like life had no scars and everyone did the right thing. Maybe that's why Kara was always so happy and trusting.
They landed with a soft thud onto the sand of their beach. Yes, their beach. It was a beach that wasn't far from Eliza's and one that they had spent a lot of their childhood on.
"What are we doing here?" Alex asked in confusion.
"Anything we want." Kara said heading over to their special rock.
"Okay? But why did we come here?" Alex asked again.
"Because you said you wanted peace." Kara sat down on the rock and waiting for Alex to join her. She did.
"Yes but that didn't mean the beach. However, I will enjoy it." Alex smiled as she watched the waves hug the shore, crashing and receding in a pattern in which no one could predict.
"I miss this." Kara leaned back on her hands and watched the sky change from blue to an array of pinks, oranges, and yellows.
"Me too. It's so peaceful."
"It's funny to me, I thought that our lives were chaotic before you joined a secrete agency and I put on that red cape." Kara sighed and noticed how the Suns dyeing rays of light danced across the rising tide of the ocean.
"I know right. But in a sense it was. Remember that time when you fell down the states?"
"Yeah." Kara smiled and the memory came back to life.
-memory-
"Kara!" Fifteen year old Alex called, "Hurry up! Your going to make us late again!" She shouted up the stairs, though she didn't have to, Kara could hear her even if she whispered.
"I'm coming!" Kara called back down, softer than Alex had called up.
She came rushing down the stairs almost as fast as she could, tripping over the last step and falling flat against her face.
He lead-lined glasses flew far off her face and the sudden impact sent her senses into over drive, causing her X-Ray vision to kick in and nearly traumatize her as as saw right through Alex.
The skeleton that replaced her sister causes Kara to scream and panic, her heart rate rising up as she did so.
"Hey, hey, hey. Kar, it's alright." Alex placed Kara's glasses back into her face and the older girl came back into view, replacing the skeleton.
"T-thank you." Kara took Alex's extended arm and rose to her feet.
"Now, we should probably hurry. We're gonna be late, and pretty soon mom is going to start blaming me for you not being able to get ready fast enough." Alex warned, grabbing her back pack and heading out, Kara coping her actions.
-end of memory-
"I remember you helping me. And how you didn't laugh at me like anyone else would have." Kara looked over at Alex.
"Yeah, most people would have. And I almost did. But when I saw how panic you looked, I realized your weird kryptonian super powers must have been going crazy, so I knew I had to help instead of laughing." It was true, Alex had nearly laughed.
"Thanks." Kara rolled her eyes playfully. "Remember that time you beat Jonny Axel senseless?" Kara smirked.
"I regret nothing."
-memory-
"Hey Kara." A boy, about seventeen stood next to fifteen year old Kara's locker.
"Hi." Kara said quietly, pushing her glasses up on her nose and hugging her book to her.
"So, what are you doing tonight? Anything... Fun." He wiggled his eyebrows and placed an arm next to her and stood in front of Kara, stopping her from leaving.
"Uhhhh. Alex and I have plans." Kara held her head up, dignified.
"We'll take a rein check." He snarled. "Listen here, freak." He put heavy emphasis on the accusing word 'freak'. "You wanna be normal?"
Oh god did she ever. "I. I am normally." Kara tried not to react to his taunting.
"Shut up. You know you aren't. "He snapped. "You meet me in the woods, tonight at eight and I'll show you what it means to be normal, you little freak." And with that he was gone.
"What was that about?" Alex appeared behind Kara, making the fifteen year old jump.
"N-nothing. Everything is fine." Kara lied.
"Kara." Alex warned. "The truth."
"Alex, he just wanted answers to my homework." Kara have a convincing smile.
"You are a terrible lair. You didn't have any homework other than your math last night and he doesn't have math with you because you are fifteen and he is seventeen, in my math class I might add." Alex folded her arms and stared Kara down.
"Okay! Fine. He just made sure I knew I wasn't a freak and that I wasn't normal." Kara looked away and Alex's hard stare and folded arms fell.
"Kara, your not a freak." Alex hugged Kara and the younger girl hugged her back, a little to tightly.
"I know. But it still hurts." Kara couldn't help but sniffle.
"I know." Alex broke the hug. She knew Kara was lying still but she would find out he truth soon enough.
A few hours later, after she was sure Alex was asleep, kara climbed out of they're shared bedroom window and landed with a thud into the ground.
She wrapped her red jacket tightly around herself and hurried off into the woods where she was to meet Jonny.
And as promised, he was there. Only... He wasn't alone. He had friends with him.
"Ahhhh, so glad you could make it, freak." He stepped forward, arms spread wide and a nasty smile on his face.
Kara held her ground, though she was terrified.
All four boys came forward and grabbed her, lifting her off the ground and pinning her to a tree.
"You wanted to be normal?" He chuckled and ran his hands up her sides. "Well, you never will be." He slid his hands under her shirt and Kara finally built the courage to scream.
"ALEX! HELP! ALEEEEEEEEEX!" Kara screamed at the top of her lungs, and said brunette hopped over an old log and stepped forward.
"Let. My. Little. Sister. Go." Seventeen year old Alex growled.
"Or what?" Jonny said over his shoulder.
Alex grabbed his head and bashed it as hard as she could against the tree. He stumbled back and Kara fell to the ground. The other three boys ran for home, afraid of the Alexandra Danvers, no one messed with her. And never was there a soul brave enough or stupid enough, until Jonny, to mess with her sister. Because everyone knew one little fact, anyone who so much as looked at Kara the wrong way would wake up the next day, or not, with broken bones and torn muscles, covered in bruises, scars, and scratches.
Alex punched him in the dead center of his face and when he fell to the ground, she kicked him three times for good measure.
Alex turned away from Jonny to face Kara.
She couldn't decide on whether to be mad or sympathetic.
"Why did you lie to me?" Alex's voice had lost its growl but was just was serious as before.
"I. I don't know. I knew you would stop me." Kara's entire body was shaking, her voice trembled, and her lip quivered. Her blue eyes were brimming with tears as her heart pounded in her chest.
Her muscles felt weak and she really needed her sister to... Well... Comfort her.
Alex wrapped her arms around Kara and held her in a tight hug, letting the younger girl cry.
-end of memory-
"I wonder how he's doing these days." Kara stared at the sky, her head resting in Alex's lap.
"Don't know, don't care." Alex ran her fingers through Kara's soft blonde curls. "Remember the first time that you saw a movie?"
"Unfortunately."
-memory-
"Well, mom and dad aren't home tonight so do you want to watch a movie?" Fifteen year old Alex offered, starring longingly at the television.
"What's a movie? We did not have those on Krypton." Thirteen year old Kara tilted her head in confusion. As much as Alex hated to admit it, the little alien girl was rather adorable
"A movie is a scripted recording of people or characters that we watch on that box thing over there." Alex pointed to the tv.
"Oh."
"Yep. There are all different kinds, Sci-Fi, Cartoons, Action, Scary, and Comedy. There's more I just don't feel like naming them all." Alex said Ina typically lazy teenage mood.
"That's nice. I have never heard of any of them, thought the terms 'scary', 'action', and 'comedy' are familiar to me." Kara spoke politely.
"Alright Kara, I'm not an adult and I'm not kryptonian. You can speak normal."
"What is abnormal about the way I communicate now?"
"Ugh, nothing. We are watching... I guess a cartoon. I think that Toy Story would be alright." Alex pulled out the disk and placed it in the player.
The screen burst to life and Alex hit play and motioned for Kara to join her.
Kara did.
The animations began and Kara sat back mortified.
Alex noticed that Kara was slowly inching closer to her, as if afraid of Alex herself.
"It's okay Kara. You can, you know, cuddle me if you want to." It was an odd sentence, but Alex didn't regret saying it
Kara practically jumped into Alex's lap and on that moment Alex noticed the younger girl shacking.
"Are you afraid, Kara?"
The younger girl responded by hiding her face in Alex's shoulders.
"It's. It's okay. I'll turn it off." And so she did. Alex powdered down the television and instead settled to just sit with Kara.
The blonde alien had nightmares for two weeks about inanimate objects coming to life.
-end of memory-
"I'm still scarred." Kara shivered.
"Yeah, I know. I catch you eyeing your bear every now and again." Alex smiled.
"Yeah. I love that bear but sometimes, I must question it." Kara smiled too.
They shared a laugh and before long, noticed that the painted sky had turned dark and glittered with stars.
