"REVERBERATE"
(Supergirl: Team, part 9 of 10)
"I didn't know anything had changed at first," Clark had explained as he sat among the others. "But after some time, I started getting this sort of… this worrying feeling. And then it was worrying about you, Kara. And then I remembered Jeremiah, telling me you weren't safe, that he would take you to me, but I also remembered you were gone, and he was dead." He looked at Alex; she was remembering, too, but to her the memories had always felt real because they were… or she'd thought they were.
She remembered being at home, picking through movies and then hearing a scream, somewhere outside. It had been Kara, she was sure, and so she'd gone out, walking further away from the house, looking for Kara, her father… and then she'd seen him lying there. Then she'd screamed. She shivered to think this memory could have disappeared; she wished with all her might that it would.
Kara had explained their discoveries. At least with him, as he knew how things were supposed to be like she did, it was easier. She asked Winn and Lena how they were doing with contacting Earth One. It wasn't going to be easy; right now it felt closer to impossible, but they weren't giving up. The problem really was that it could take so long for them to find out how to do it that it would be too late. They needed alternatives.
"How did it happen though?" Maggie was the one to ask what they'd all been halfway thinking already. "I've known my share of aliens, but none of them could travel in time."
"No," Kara agreed, turning to Clark. He didn't know anyone who had that technology or that ability. The only ones she'd known had been from Earth One.
"Then maybe someone's figured out a way," Clark suggested.
"And did what with it?" James asked his friend, "Stopped a Martian from taking this Henshaw's place?"
"It stopped a lot of things," Clark looked back to his cousin. "Shifted a lot of power." Kara bowed her head. No Supergirl, and a corrupted DEO. She had always appreciated J'onn and all he'd done for them, but maybe they hadn't appreciated him nearly enough.
"They'll be looking for you," Alex told her.
"I'm not going to hide. I'm… Supergirl," she frowned, trying not to think how weak her powers had felt earlier.
"Not here…" Clark reminded her, apologetically. "Not yet. But maybe you need to be," he gave her a smile.
"Contacting Earth One is more important, I'm not going to pull Winn away from that so he can make my suit… no matter how much he'd be happy to do it. I can improvise. No one here knows Kara Danvers,' she's been gone too long," she reminded them. "All I am here is whoever I choose to be."
Even so, for the time being, they preferred for her and Lena both to remain out of sight. For Lena that was hardly a problem; she was fully absorbed into her work with Winn now. She had been locked in that room for a week, had gotten herself out of there, had gotten her out, and she was ready for this next thing. But Kara… She got stir crazy too easily, especially now with the memories of someone who was essentially caged and sedated for a dozen years. She needed to fly again, needed not to be trapped within walls again.
This could take a while, she knew. But they were all doing their part, they would set this right. For now though, she could do nothing but feel powerless.
See you tomorrow back here for more Supergirl!
