Prompt: Alex goes Argo City with Kara for a visit and Alura welcomes Alex to the Zor-El family and makes her an honorary Kryptonian by letting her wear their sacred Family crest.

Alex nervously paced back and forth as she waited for her sister to return.

Kara and Alex were planning a trip, something Alex usually looked forward to.

But this trip was starting to make her a little nervous, not the idea of the trip itself, but where they were going, Argo City.

Kara had arranged for them both to spend a few days there and visit her mother.

Kara was beyond excited for the trip, mostly because she was looking forward to Alex to get to know Alura, and Alura to get to know Alex.

Of course the two had met before, but under the circumstances there wasn't much time for making small talk.

Now that was exactly what they were going to do, at least that was what Kara was hoping.

Alex was excited for the trip too, but when Kara had talk to her about it, she couldn't deny that she was a little nervous.

She wanted so badly to be liked and approved by Alura, wanted her sister's mother to know how much Kara meant to her.

Now that little bit of nervousness had built up, forcing her to do her usual stress-reliever: Pacing.

Despite her nerves, Alex was excited to go, she just hoped everything went well.

Kara had run to take care of one last Supergirl emergency, and then the sisters would be on their way.

When Kara finally did return, she was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.

"Alex!" She sang down the hallway to where she knew her sister was waiting for her with their things.

"You ready?" she said, coming into the room with a skip.

Alex stopped her pacing and smiled at her giddy sister, "Yeah, let's go."

Kara studied Alex for a second, noticing how she looked a little off, like something was bothering her.

"Hey is everything ok?" Kara asked, concern seeping into her blue eyes.

"Yeah of course." Alex responded as she avoided Kara's gaze and started to gather her things.

"Alex, something is bugging you, please talk to me." Kara pressed.

Even though Alex denied it, Kara knew when something was bothering her sister.

"Nothing, it's not even that big of a deal." Alex responded.

Kara gave her a look, a look Alex couldn't ignore.

"Fine, I guess I'm just kinda nervous, you know, to meet her and everything." Alex said, busying herself with tightening the strap on her bag.

"My mom?" Kara asked, even though she already knew the answer.

"Yeah."

"Why?" Kara asked, "You've already met her, she loved you."

"I know, but that was different. There wasn't really a whole lot of 'getting to know each other' conversations, it was more fighting and saving the world stuff. I just want her to know how much you mean to me. And I don't know, I guess I just want her to like me too. It's weird I know." Alex said, pausing her fiddling to see her sister's reaction.

"Alex" Kara said, grabbing her sister by the arms, "First of all, it's not weird to want to be liked by people. Second, you don't need to worry if she's gonna like you or not, because she already does. She told me herself. And I know she's gonna love you because I love you, you're my family and the only reason I've ever felt like I belong here."

Alex held Kara's gaze, "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me Kara, you're the one who made me feel like I belong." Alex said genuinely.

Kara smiled, "Well we're both here for each other then, always."

Alex nodded, "Always." She said back, hugging her sister.

After a moment, they both separated and went to get their bags.

Alex was starting to feel a little bit more confident about everything.

"Besides, you don't need anyone else's approval. Regardless of what anyone thinks, the truth is the still truth, and the truth is that you are an amazing, talented, loving person." Kara said as she grabbed her things.

Alex blushed a little and looked away, "Haha very funny." She responded, walking out the door.

Kara rolled her eyes as she followed after her sister and headed out the door.


Alex and Kara stepped into the front door of Alura's home, gently placing their stuff down on the floor.

"Where's your mom?" Alex asked as she put her bag down next to her sister's.

"I don't know, she said she'd meet us here so-"

"Hello?" a familiar voice called as Alura stepped into the room.

"Mom!" Kara called, racing forward and engulfing her mother in a tight hug.

"Hi Kara, I missed you." Alura said gently, running her hands through her daughter's hair as she returned the hug.

"I missed you too." Kara said quietly, savoring the feeling of her mother's touch.

Alex stood back and watched, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"This is going to be so awkward." Alex thought.

"Alex," Alura called, "It's so nice to see you again."

Alura stepped forward and hugged her.

Alex returned the touch and the greeting, "It's good to see you too."

"So," Kara said, "Is it just me or are you guys hungry?" She asked, rubbing her stomach to push her point.

Alex laughed, "You're always hungry."

"Well I get hungry when I'm happy."

"Kara you get hungry when you experience any emotion at all." Alex responded.

Kara lightly smacked her sister's arm, "That's not true."

'Oh yes, it is" Alura said, starting to lead them to a table, "But don't worry I was prepared."

The three women sat down at a table stocked full of food, and Kara dove right in.

"While we eat," Alex said to Alura as she got her own plate, "I'd love to hear some embarrassing stories about Kara from you."

"Oh please," Kara said with a mouth full of food, "You don't have any, do you mom?"

Alura smiled, "I have plenty."


The rest of the day was spent just like Kara had hoped: Talking, telling stories, laughing. It was everything she had wanted the trip to be.

She knew her sister felt a little out of place at the beginning, but by the end of the day, Alex and Alura had not only gotten comfortable with each other, but they'd found something in common too.

They both had plenty of funny stories to share about Kara.

After maybe the tenth one, they had all just about worn themselves out by laughing as they sat in the living room of Alura's home.

"I'm gonna run to the bathroom, I'll be back in a minute." Kara said after the laughter died off, getting up and disappearing down the hall.

Alex knew it was a lie, Kara had the worst tell when it came to lying.

Kara always ran her hand through her hair when she lied, and that was exactly what Kara did as she got up.

"Why would she lie about going to the bathroom?" Alex thought.

Alura and Alex sat in comfortable silence for a moment before Alura spoke.

"Alex, I want to talk to you for a minute, while Kara is away." Alura said as her features grew serious, a harsh contrast to the happy expression that had just been there.

"Of course, what about?" Alex asked, straightening up.

"I just want to thank you for everything that you've done. When I sent Kara away, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. The only thing that made me have any hope was that she would find someone who would love her, who would be there for her. That was you, you became her family, I can never repay you for that."

Alex leaned forward a little as she spoke, "Kara was there for me, even more than I was for her. I know it must've been so hard to send her away, but she's made such an incredible impact on so many people on Earth, including me. I'm so proud of who she's become. No matter what she goes through, she always stays strong and I see now that she got that, and so many other wonderful traits, from you."

Alura looked away a little with a smile, "I'm proud of her too, I've always been."

There was a moment of silence before Alura spoke again, "I have something I'd like to give you." She said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a necklace with a design on it that Alex recognized: The family Crest of Zor-El.

"Come." Alura said as she held out the necklace.

Alex slowly approached her, "I can't wear that, Kara's told me about that Crest, it's only for members of the Zor-El family."

Alura smiled, "Exactly, that it why you can wear it. You are Kara's family, and she is mine, so that make's you apart of ours."

Alex didn't know what to say, so she just turned around and allowed Alura to put the necklace on her.

"Welcome to the family, Alex Danvers Zor-El." Alura said.

Alex swallowed hard, "Thank you." She said sincerely.

Kara either had impeccable timing or she had been hiding behind the corner listening to the conversation.

Either way she emerged into the room just in time to see Alex with the necklace on, giving her mother a hug.

"What's going on?" she asked, coming to sit back down.

"Alex is a part of our family now, I thought it was only right to make it official." Alura said.

As Alex and Alura returned to their seats, Kara noticed the wetness that filled her sister's brown eyes.

"Thank you." Alex said again as she sat down next to Kara.

"Alex, thank you." Alura responded.

Kara smiled at the interaction.

She didn't ask her mother to do anything like this, but she knew how her sister was feeling and she figured a few minutes alone would do them both some good, so she had gotten up to give them some time alone.

She was right.


The rest of the trip was amazing, and by the end of it all three women struggled to say goodbye.

"I love you mom, I'll see you again soon." Kara said as she hugged her mother goodbye.

"I love you too, so very much." Alura said.

Alex came up and gave Alura a hug, "I'm so glad we got to do this." Alex said.

"Me too, it was nice to talk to you about something other than how to save the world."

Alex let out a little laugh, "Yeah no kidding, hopefully next time we see each other it will still be under good circumstances."

"Yes, lets hope so" Alura said with a smile.

"Thanks again for this. It means so much to me." Alex said as she motioned to the Crest still around her neck.

"Of course, like I said it belongs to members of our family, and that includes you."

Alex smiled and nodded, "I can't tell you what that means to me to hear you say that." She said.

"Well it's true."

Kara and Alex said their final goodbyes and headed out.

As they walked, Kara looped her arm through Alex's.

"See, I told you she'd love you." Kara said.

Alex didn't say anything in response, she just looked down at the necklace once more with a smile as they walked away.
