Kara sat next to Clark. But looking at her.
She looked at her with her big blue almost green eyes. Same color her mom had.
"In my world, my mom was metahuman. She was united for a spirit called metrix" she took a deep breath.
"My mom was supposed to send our Kara to another world, but instead she took her place" there was utter silence.
"She met superman there. He knew she wasn't Kara. I'm not sure what happened next but somehow they got married "
She smiled. Thinking of her mother in that big white dress with the emblem S on it.
" I was 6 years old when my world ended" she paused. Holding herself from crying.
"Mom told me she's gonna be back. That we're all gonna be back together" her voice broke.
"I still wait for her to return" said Ariella.
"I mean. I know she gets to see me in her dreams. Sometimes. I think. I'm not sure" Ari signed. " it's only been 10 years. There's still a chance." She frowned.
"-But the monitor said not to. He might be wrong though. I don't know" she just wanted her family back.
Kara was crying. Kal-El was on the verge of crying.
Ariella took a deep breath.
" you're not my parents" she said shaking.
" don't try to be them" Ariella looked the the shocked heros.
They both stammered.
Kara looked more shocked than Clark did.
He opened his mouth to say something. Closed his mouth then opened it again. He repeated this process 3 times.
"What?" Ariella asked. Say something. Please she thought to herself.
"You.." he broke. " you have my eyes" a tear slipped from his ocean blue eyes.
Holy cow. I made Superman cry.
She smiled at him softly. Hoping it would calm him down. Don't cry daddy. I'm alright, daddy. I'm being brave, just like you taught me. Her heart ached.
Kara was holding herself together. Wiping a tear.
" I'm sorry for earlier Kara" Kara picked up her gaze. Inhaling loudly, at least she thought she did, she still wasn't a 100% in control of her powers.
Ariella was done. " I think I could use some alone time" she said looking at the heroes. They still didn't say anything.
" I will let you process it all. Till tomorrow " she smiled and opened the door.
The heroes left the room silently.
It's all too silent. She thought.
Kara was still at the door. Ariella knew that. She heard her. Her heart. Her shaking breaths. Her tears slipping on her face.
She didn't want to open and door and look at her. She didn't want to see her mother cry.
she's not your mom Ari she reminded herself.
She opened the door.
Looking at Kara shamefully, she didn't know her. Not this version of her, but, she knew her heart was as big as her mother's .
"I just..." Kara started breaking off.
Ariella was holding the door open. Looking at her. Doing her best poker face.
Another tear slid on Karas cheek as she stepped forward, hugging tightly her shocked other world daughter
