Kara's POV

After the visit with Lena I headed back to my apartment, not really wanting to do anything else. When I saw her just standing there in her office… she didn't look anything like how I remembered her to be. She was much more confident and stylish, her green eyes were even not how I remembered them; darker shade of green with some sort of darker emotion hidden beneath their depths. I was taken away by how much she had changed, but then again I probably wasn't the same to her either. After all, with eight years passing I'm sure there's several things that have made us into who we are now that have made it impossible to go back to who we used to be. I'm now both Supergirl and Kara Danvers and I have no idea how I could ever tell her that. She's way too smart for me to try and hide that part of myself from her. Then again, it's not like she's even really going to be a part of my life.

I got out of my thoughts as I entered my room and saw Alex sitting down on the couch watching the news. She wasn't really paying attention to me, so I walked to the kitchen and took out a bottle of Sprite.

"How was your talk with Lena?" she asked, looking up for probably the first time that day. I shrugged my shoulders and poured myself a glass coming over to her. "She isn't the Lena I remember, and I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. When we were kids I could tell she didn't want to be Lex, but now she's rising to the top. I mean don't get me wrong, she was definitely happy to see me. It's just that I have no idea if she was being genuine or simply fooling everyone into thinking she's a good person, but is actually evil."

Alex was shaking her head, not approving of my thoughts. "Kara, you do not get to now question the type of person she is, not after defending her throughout your entire childhood. If she was truly headed down the dark path it would have shown by now. You both have changed so much and I know that with time you two will be close again. Maybe not with the Supergirl part of you, but everything else."

I smiled appreciatively at Alex's words. Kind of surprised that she was giving Lena the benefit of the doubt. It put a smile on my face just seeing how grown up my sister was becoming. I know that we're both adults now, but sometimes I still feel like a child compared to her; she seems to have most of her life under control and mine has just now recently begun since I can now use the powers I was forced to hide for a great portion of my life.

With me now being Supergirl though I'm not entirely sure if I can keep that part of myself from Lena. She never kept anything a secret from me and I don't want to create any problems between the two of us, but I also can't just tell her immediately either.. This is gonna be so much more difficult than I anticipated.

My phone went off suddenly, snapping me out of my thoughts and I looked down to see an unknown number had messaged three things in a row.

(542)-555-0129

Hey Kara, it's me Lena.

I got your number from someone who works at CatCo.. I hope you don't mind.

I'm sorry about how I reacted earlier.

I stared at my phone for several minutes just reading over and over the messages conveyed there. Once I got my thoughts back together I sent a response back.

You don't have to apologize.. I understand that seeing me and hearing what I said was a lot, and your reaction was to be expected. But we should talk more later.

There was no response back after my message sent, so I decided to brush it off and tell myself that she was just busy and would reply back at a better time. "Who was that? Your face went from extremely happy to someone who looks like they are concerned," Alex said. I rolled my eyes and plopped down beside her. She was still looking at me though, her features not hiding the fact that she was curious. "It was Lena. She got my phone number from someone at CatCo.. I told her that we could talk more later and I didn't get a response back," I explained. Alex simply shook her head with a comforting smile. "You just messed up Kara Danvers. She obviously went through all that trouble just to speak to you again.. and I know you meant well, but sometimes you say the wrong thing."

I groaned in response not wanting to say anything else on the matter. Suddenly my phone went off yet another time and I looked down excitedly.

Lena: Later sounds good.. maybe we could go out and chat at a nice restaurant I know? I'll see you at 8?

Sounds great! See you then! :)
