The beginning of Crisis on Infinite Earths with Alex and Kara was just so cute and pure I needed to make it a little longer. This won't be movement for movement because I don't want to waste your time reading exactly what already happened lol. This isn't a big extension, it's just a way for me to get back into the swing of things.

Kara sat up quickly, her glasses barely staying on her face. 'Where am I?'

"Well, look who's finally-"

Attack mode took over and Kara whipped around and shot at the noise with her heat vision. "Ah!"

Alex looked at the new holes gracing Kara's ceiling, her mouth slightly agape. "- awake..."

Kara's jaw dropped. "Alex!" She lept up, surprised to see her sister after what felt like forever. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"

"No, no, no, it's okay. It's okay," Alex reassured, stepping a little closer to her sister. "Are you okay? Did you have a bad dream?"

"I don't know." Kara scanned the room, looking to see if this were some sort of twisted simulation. "I'm... How did I get here?"

Alex smiled a little. "Well, you fell asleep in front of the TV, and you just looked so peaceful, so I didn't have the heart to move you to the bed."

'Asleep? Was that all a dream?' "The dawn of time... dawn of time," Kara mumbled to herself as she started to walk toward the window.

"Is that what you were watching before you nodded off," Alex teased, not sure why Kara was so shaken watched as Kara walked around, looked out the window, mumbled incoherently, and shook her head. Whatever was bothering her, it looked like she didn't want to discuss it. So, instead, Alex announced her plans with the intention of giving Kara some space. "Listen, I gotta run. Kelly and I are trying out a new indoor rowing class downtown, so are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine," Kara whispered before she cleared her throat and repeated it in a slightly stronger voice. "I'm fine."

Alex, although not convinced, nodded. "Okay."

"Alex?"

Alex looked at her. "Yeah?"

Kara breathed out a sigh of relief. If one thing was to stay the same, she was glad it was Alex. "I love you."

Alex gave her a weird look. What was going on with her? "I love you too." She turned to leave again but Kara stopped her.

"Wait!" Kara jumped out of her seat. "I... I need to know if this is real..."

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Uh, how?"

Kara immediately pulled her sister into her arms and hugged her firmly.

Alex hugged her back, still not knowing what was happening. "Hey, it's alright. If this is about your dream, it wasn't real. You're safe here."

Kara rested her head on Alex's shoulder and closed her eyes. Although Alex wasn't aware, it had actually been months since Kara had seen her. "That's the thing, I think it was real... and now I know that this is too... I really missed you, Alex."

"What? Are you okay; Do we need to go to the DEO? I can cancel my plans if you need me t-"

"No, don't cancel." Kara released a shaky breath against Alex's neck. "Just don't let go yet."

Alex nodded. "Okay." She turned and kissed her hair. "Okay."

Despite everything that had been happening recently, Kara was able to relax and feel calm. She could worry about what was different later, but for now, she needed to focus on what was the same. Alex was alive. That was what mattered right now.

"Are you ready to tell me what's going on now?" Alex asked about a minute later, still holding her close.

"It's... hard to explain..."

Alex shrugged and took a step back. "Try me."

Kara clenched her jaw. She wasn't even really sure what happened, herself. "It wasn't a dream... the entire multiverse... It was gone. You were gone. Our earth, gone."

Alex's eyes widened. "Well, that... That seemed pretty straight forward to me. Maybe I should cancel my plans..."

"No, don't, it's okay," Kara insisted, waving her hands wildly. "Go, be happy, I'm fine." Kara's phone vibrated. The screen showed Nia's name. "Besides, Nia's calling, and I should probably get that."

Alex didn't want to leave Kara like this, especially if what she said was true, but she also knew how stubborn her sister could be. "Alright. But please, call me if you need me. I'll always come for you."

Kara nodded. "Will do. Now go."

"I love you," Alex reminded as she headed for the door.

Kara smiled fondly. "I love you too."
