"REVERBERATE"
(Supergirl: Team, part 3 of 10)

Between the cover of night and whatever Lena and she had done in their escape, they had reached a distance far enough from where they'd been and near enough to where they had to go that they had been able to leave the vehicle behind, out of sight, and continue on foot, in this case literally. It wasn't long that the discomfort began to show, though after what they'd just gotten out of, it wasn't nearly so bad, all things considered.

They hadn't talked yet, not about what they clearly needed to discuss. All they wanted now was to get somewhere to stop, and breathe, not worrying over who might find them. Kara didn't want to try home; she had a bad feeling. Lena didn't want to go to hers either, or her office, for her own reasons. But they had to go somewhere, to get information... possibly a change of clothes.

This took them, to at least solve problem number one, into a café, where a bit more trickery granted Kara access to a computer. As they sat, they looked to one another. 'Now?' both seemed to say.

"You really don't know who I am?"

"I've never seen you before, trust me, I am good with faces," Lena told her. Kara wondered just how true that was, considering the secret she'd been keeping from her, a secret which now seemed as good as gone. "When you saw me, you looked as though you knew me, which, going off of your question, I assume you do... or think you do. You must have seen me in the news?"

"Yeah," Kara lied, "I guess." She paused. "Why was the DEO holding you?" she had to ask.

"I could ask you the same thing, but I think it's clear enough. How long were you in there?" She felt a chill. It was like the answer was there, in her head, but it didn't really belong there, so she was trying to keep it locked away. Whatever the answer was, it made her grow afraid, and she scanned the room quickly. "It's okay," Lena told her, quickly turned to a reassuring tone. "I didn't mean to frighten you, I..."

"4421," Kara the last number in the journal. "I think 4421... days... I spent in there..." It wasn't right, but it felt like it was, only that would mean...

"12 years," Lena had calculated, and she looked at Kara now like some liberated little creature. "12 years and 41 days, you... you would have been a child, almost..."

Her head felt like it was spinning. Something was in there, something that hadn't been there before. Flashes of what felt like memory. She saw Jeremiah, years ago, hurrying her along. She saw Henshaw standing on a road she recognized. This was Midvale, near the Danvers house... She heard screaming... It was her own voice.

"No..." she breathed, grasping her head. "That didn't happen..."

"Kara?" Lena asked, concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Everything, I..." She turned to the computer. "I have to find my sister, I need her, I need..." She needed to make sense of this.

But everything she found - or didn't find - only told her that it could get worse. There was an article claiming the death of Jeremiah Danvers back in Midvale as an unsolved murder. There was no mention of her, as Kara Danvers, which was one thing, but there was not a single trace of the existence of Supergirl either. It was as though she'd never come to National City, which would be so, if Henshaw had gotten his hands on her twelve years ago. But she knew this wasn't right, all of it, while Lena had no idea, thought this was how it had all been. She needed to understand.

See you tomorrow back here for moreSupergirl!
