"Who the hell are you?" Alex bellowed. The figure didn't answer and continued to silently approach the agents from the cover of darkness. "I asked you a question!" Alex shouted as she jabbed her gun in the direction of the approaching shape. The intruder didn't answer as she finally emerged from the shadows and stepped into the well-lit foyer of the DEO's headquarters. Alex's face dropped in shock as she realized who it was.

"Kara?"

One hour ago…

The ground in Midvale cemetery quaked as something shifted in Kara Danvers' grave. Little grains of dirt shifted as the shaking grew stronger and suddenly, a pale hand shot up from the dirt… followed by another. The hands searched for purchase as a body pulled itself up from the ground. The blonde figure climbed out and dusted herself off as she got her bearings. Her senses and strength came flooding back as she realized where stood. With only a fleeting thought, the woman took off running and shot up into the sky, hellbent on getting to National City.

In the present…

"Yes, Alex. It's me," the blonde said as she stood in the middle of the DEO's command center. "I thought you'd be a little happier to see me since I'm, you know, not dead anymore," Kara commented. "Guess I was wrong," she said looking at the many guns pointed in her direction.

"NO!" Alex roared as she pointed her gun at the blonde intruder. "That's not possible," she shouted as she jabbed the gun in the other woman's direction. "Kara Danvers is DEAD! You're dead! I saw your body on a slab. I saw you in a pine box! We buried you, Kara! We put you in the ground! And now what? You're back! Just like that?" Alex said as she snapped her fingers. "It's not possible. You bastard! How dare you impersonate my dead fucking sister."

"Alex, I swear it's me! It's Kara. It's really me. My body's spent weeks trying to recover. You try having solar powered healing while buried in a box six feet under. It's really dark down there, you know. Speaking of that, listen, I kinda used up all my energy and I'm about to pass out, so would you mind if I just…" Kara trailed off as she collapsed. Alex froze for a moment as her jaw dropped, then she quickly ran over to her sister. Alex knelt beside Kara and checked her pulse as she gestured for someone to bring her a gurney. Satisfied that Kara was still alive, Alex stood up and began walking toward the sunroom. She turned the sunlamps on and handcuffed the unconscious blonde to the bed. Once she was sure that the blonde couldn't break out of her bonds even if she tried, Alex pulled up a chair, sat down, and waited. In the interest of preserving Lena's sanity, Alex chose not to call the young CEO until she was sure that the person lying in front of her really was Kara.

Two hours later…

The blonde slowly opened her eyes and squinted as the harsh light blinded her. She tried to bring up a hand to cover them, but found that she couldn't. She tried to bring her arm up again and heard the characteristic jingling of handcuff chains. "Really Alex?" Kara mumbled. Her super-hearing picked up familiar footsteps approaching the sunroom and smiled as she heard Alex coming closer. The door whooshed open and the footsteps drew closer again.

"You're awake. How about that," Alex said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I am, and Alex, handcuffs? Really?" Kara asked she held up her wrist and shook it.

"Listen, blondie, I don't know who the fuck you are, but you're not my sister. She's dead, so let's cut the bullshit." Kara cringed internally at the tone of Alex's voice.

"Listen, Alex, I know that you don't believe it, but it's really me. It's Kara."

"Okay, fine. Let's pretend for a moment that I believe you. Tell me something that only Kara would know," Alex said as she pulled up a stool and dropped down onto it.

"Okay, fine," Kara said as she began to think. "Oh! Um, you love Eliza's lasagna more than anything."

"Everyone knows that. Try something else."

"Your favorite song in high school was 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' and sometimes when Maggie kisses you, you tear up a little."

Alex gasped and looked right at the blonde. "There's no way you could know that unless—Kara! It really is you!"

"Yeah! That's what I've been trying to—" Kara was cut off by Alex throwing herself on the blonde. "It's nice to see you, too, Alex!"

"Of course, it's nice to see me! You would have seen me more recently if you hadn't gotten yourself killed you stupid, self-sacrificing alien!" Alex chastised as she buried her head further into Kara's shoulder. Kara gave the handcuffs a sharp yank and freed her hands so she could hug her sister.

"In my defense, I did think it was the only way to beat her and it was! Oh, and just so you know, I could have gotten out of those handcuffs at any time, but I was kinda afraid that you'd get the Kryptonite ones."

"Kara! Don't ruin the moment," Alex grumbled. "And Kara, I do not tear up when Maggie kisses me, thank you."

"Alex," Kara says knowingly.

"Okay fine. Maybe a little."

"Alex."

"Kara." Alex straightened up and walked over to the far wall of the sunroom and turned the red sunlamps off. Kara sat up and looked at her sister. "What happened to you Kara? How did you come back?"

Kara sighed. "When I died, I went into Rao's light and I met my parents. But they told me that it wasn't my time yet, that I still had a lot to do and live for. They told me that my reward for stopping Reign was to get to come back. I stayed with them as my body healed. It was really nice to see them again. But then they told me that you were in danger and before I knew it, I was in my coffin."

"This sounds like something out of Buffy, you do realize that, right?" Alex said with a laugh.

"Alex!" Kara chastised. "I thought you'd take my coming-back-to-life moment a little more seriously!" she said with faux hurt.

"Yes, Kara, you're right. I'm sorry," Alex said, feeling bad for mocking Kara…. At least until she saw that Kara was smirking. "KARA!"

"Sorry, Alex. But you should have seen the look on your face!"

Alex opened her mouth to fire back, but her phone started to ring. Holding up a finger, Alex slid her finger across the screen and answered. "Hey, Mom."

"Alex, is everything okay in National City?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"There was an earthquake in Midvale and I wanted to make sure you were okay." Alex looked at Kara in confusion and mouthed "Was that you?" When Kara nodded sheepishly, Alex sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Well, Mom, see what happened was that it wasn't exactly an earthquake."

"Then what was it, Alexandra?"

"Mom! Please don't call me that. It makes me feel like I'm in trouble."

"Alex!"

"Sorry… Anyway, I can't exactly tell you what happened, BUT J'onn is gonna come get you so I can explain. Okay, Mom, see you soon. Bye!" Alex quickly said as she hung up. She turned on her heel and hollered "J'ONN!"

All she got in response was, "Yes, Agent Danvers, I will do you this favor. You're welcome. And don't yell, please. This is a professional workplace."

"So…" Alex began.

"Eliza's coming," Kara finished.

"Yeah, Mom's coming."

"She's gonna be happy."

"Yeaaahhh, and a little pissed."

"Not a little—a lot-tle."

"Oh yeah, 100%."

"Oh Rao…"

"Yep. I'm gonna go," Alex said as she pointed behind her and promptly left.

"Alex!"

"Bye Kara!" rang out from the end of the hall. Kara sighed. This day is about to get interesting she mused as she laid back on the gurney and waited.

40 Minutes Later…

To say that Eliza was unhappy with Alex would be an understatement. She wasn't exactly fuming, but she wasn't exactly happy either. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she felt a pang of sadness at returning to the DEO after everything that had happened with Kara. Before J'onn had come to get her, Eliza had gone out to the cemetery and found that Kara's grave had been completely trashed and she was dreading adding more pain to the already heavy weight that rested on her only living daughter's shoulders. As she approached the med bay, Eliza was confused to hear laughter and hastened her pace to find the origin of the laugh—a laugh that sounded almost like Kara's. As she got to the doorway, she saw Alex throw her head back in laughter and she smiled softly to herself, happy that her daughter was finally recovering from her sister's death. Eliza couldn't spot the other figure in the room as she took a moment to watch Alex be so joyful. She would have looked harder but she was just so happy to see Alex finally start to recover. She was still caught up in her thoughts when Alex saw her and jumped up. The sudden noise snapped Eliza out of her trance and that was when she finally her. Her eyes moved past the shocked Alex and stopped on the equally stunned blonde figure-that looked quite a bit like her younger daughter. When she saw the blonde mouth her name, something clicked in Eliza's head and she burst into the room. "Can someone tell me what exactly is going on here?" The two younger women opened and closed their mouths as they searched for an answer.

Alex decided to just rip off the band-aid, blurted, "Hey Mom, long time no see. You, uh, might have noticed that Kara is back," as she gestured at Kara like Vanna White. When it looked like Eliza was about to start questioning the recently revived hero, Alex quickly added, "Yes, it's really her. I checked. I even did a DNA test."

Kara's head whipped in the direction of her sister. "You did what? When?"

"What?" Alex shrugged. "I had to be sure," Alex defended. Not needing any more confirmation, Eliza threw her arms around Kara and squeezed her tight.

"It's really good to have you back, Kara. This also explains a lot."

"So, you're not mad?" Alex asked carefully.

"Oh, I am, but I get why you didn't tell me. The earthquake and Kara's grave being destroyed definitely makes more sense now."

"Hang on…" Alex muttered. "Mom, why aren't you more shocked?"

"Sweetie, I have built my entire career on the impossible. Aliens were never supposed to come to Earth, but they did. There was never supposed to be a Superman or another survivor from Krypton, but there was. Crazier things have happened. I held out hope that one day something like this would happen. I remember reading a similar legend in some of the literature Clark showed me at the Fortress. I thought it was a myth, an impossibility."

"So, this is an extreme version of 'seeing is believing'?" Kara wondered.

"Basically," Eliza laughed. "Oh Kara, I am so happy that you're alive," the older woman declared as she moved to hug Kara again. She squeezed the alien as tightly as she could as some tears rolled down her face. Kara gently tightened her grip. "Are you okay?" Eliza whispered into Kara's ear. A small, unconvincing nod was her only answer. "Alexandra, do you have a plan on how to tell everyone about Kara coming back?"

"Uh…"

"I'll take that as a 'no'." Eliza pulled back and tugged herself out of Kara's grip. "That's okay. We'll figure it out together."

"Together," Alex and Kara echoed.

And so, the newly reunited Danvers family set out to plan how to tell their friends and family about Kara's return. Alex called Maggie first, who rushed over to the DEO and tackled Kara into a hug as she tearfully exclaimed "Little Danvers! You're alive!" After a very long hug, Maggie finally released Kara from her grasp and swiftly brought all of the Danvers into one massive group hug. More tears were shed and unlike the last time the Danvers cried together, the tears were full of joy, happy at the idea that the massive gap in their lives was filled once more by the very person whose loss had left that irreparable sense of emptiness. Once the hugging (and crying) was over, the four women pulled apart and took a deep breath, finally feeling the emotional toll of the past month lessen.

"We need to call, Lena," Alex announced out of the blue. "She can't be the last one to find out. It'll hurt her even more." Kara nodded along, suddenly looking extremely anxious.

Sensing the awkwardness, Maggie pointed behind herself, muttered "I'll just go call everyone else then," turned on her heel, and left, tugging Eliza with her.

"Hey, Alex-," Kara trailed off. "What happened after I died? With Lena, I mean."

"She didn't take it well. At all. I spent the first two weeks trying to drink myself into forgetting, but I think Lena was genuinely trying to drink herself to death. When I finally sobered up enough to function a little, I went to visit her—and to bring her your letter. Remembering what you wrote to me helped me a little, I guess. But when I went to Lena's, she was practically catatonic. Sam said Lena basically spent all her waking moments staring out the window and drinking. She didn't even speak to anyone until I came over and she kinda yelled at me. A lot. She wouldn't even say your name. It was bad." For just a split second, as she paused to consider what she would say next, the memory of Lena's anguished tirade invaded Alex's senses.

"There! Now you know everything, Agent Danvers. I have nothing left to tell you now, Alex. Nothing left to explain why I feel all this guilt and anger and shame. I'm just so fucking done. I fell in love with my best friend who, of course, had to be a Super and what did I get in return? Nothing—Nothing, but pain. And you want to know why I can't say her name? Because—because if I say her name, then it all comes back and it all becomes real. Kara's dead, Alex. That self-sacrificing idiot died alone in a fucking desert for me and I don't know why she would do that."

Alex flinched as the memory of Lena's pained outburst faded away and quickly continued her thought. "But, uh, reading your letter helped a little. She showed me what you wrote. It was beautiful… you really love her, huh?" Kara nodded shyly. "How did I not see my sister fall in love?" Alex wondered.

"Anyway, we kinda bonded, I guess would be the word for it. She basically moved into the L Corp labs. She's been trying to make Kryptonite into something helpful, something worthy of your memory, as she put it. She actually managed to create an early version of the lead vaccine for the Daxamites. But Jess has to force her to sleep and eat these days. She's become so focused that she forgot everything else. It's actually been two weeks since I've even seen her. She disappeared into the marble halls of the L Corp labs a few days after I gave her the letter," Alex said dramatically with a flourish. Satisfied that she had told Kara enough information, Alex also left the room, leaving Kara alone as she called Lena to ask for her presence at the DEO.

"Hey, Lena. It's Alex, can you come to the DEO?"

"Agent Danvers, you do realize that I have caller ID, right?"

"Yeah, I know. Also, I thought you were calling me Alex now," Alex said, pretending to be hurt.

"I am, but sometimes even I joke. Anyway, what is so important that the DEO needs me at 11 pm?"

"It's something really urgent, but I can't tell you over the phone. Please Lena, can you just come?"

"Fine, Alex, but only because you said please." Before Alex could say another word, Lena hung up. Now all they could do was wait. As the agent leaned against the wall in the breakroom, Maggie walked in and quietly snaked her arms around her wife's waist. Smiling softly, Alex returned the hug and buried her face in her wife's brunette hair.

"It's all gonna be okay now, right?" Alex asked softly.

"Yeah, babe, I think it is. Kara's back and everyone's feeling better. The rest is just confetti, Alex. Together we'll figure things out and it will all be okay."

"Promise?" Alex sniffled.

"I promise," Maggie replied as she gently rubbed Alex's back. "Hey Alex, I have an idea. Something to make things a little fun again," Maggie suggested.

"What?" Alex asked suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes.

"Let's make a bet."

"What do you have in mind, wifey?"

"You know I hate it when you call me that."

Lena Luthor was glad that she had taken mercy on her liver today and only had two glasses of scotch that night as she warily strode into the DEO some 35 minutes after Alex's call. She wrapped her coat around herself tightly as she entered the sterile-looking building and rode the elevator up. She sighed as she walked through the command center toward Alex's office, head down, eyes to the ground. She almost ran right into Alex who was waiting for her by the med bay. "Hey Lena, how are you?" she asked in an unusually cheerful voice.

"Fine. What's the emergency, Alex?"

"Uh, it's actually better if I show you cuz you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Alex gestured for Lena to follow her. Lena walked into the med bay and froze when she was met with the sight of the back of a blonde figure. The other woman slowly turned around and her anxious expression momentarily brightened when she laid eyes on Lena. With an angry growl, Lena marched up to the blonde and slapped her.

"You fucking idiot!" Lena shouted as Kara brought a hand up to rub her cheek. Despite her alien physiology, the slap actually smarted a little given her somewhat weakened state.

"Lena, I am so sorry," Kara began as Lena brought up a hand to stop the blonde.

Tears streaked down Lena's face as she spoke, "You don't get to talk, Kara. I get to talk now." Kara nodded jerkily. "First of all, how did this happen? I fucking heard you die. I saw your body, your corpse and yet here you are, talking to me, very much alive."

"The prophecy that foretold the battle also said that I would get a gift from Rao for laying down my life to stop Reign. I thought that it meant that I would get see my parents again, but I guess it also meant that I would come back."

"You self-sacrificing moron."

"Lena, I couldn't let her win! I had to beat her, even if it meant I would die. She threatened my family, Lena! She threatened you! I had already screwed up so much in your life—I failed you on so many different levels that I didn't want you to die because of my failures, too. I was supposed to be your friend, Lena and instead, I let my fear guide me. And I broke my promise to you."

"What promise?"

"I promised I would never leave you and I did. I'm so sorry, Lena. I'm so sorry for a lot of things, Lena. I'm sorry I was such an asshole and I'm sorry I never told you that I was Supergirl."

"I know you're sorry, Kara. You told me that a lot—when you were dying and in your letter."

"You heard that?"

"Yes, I did. You had the one-way comms on, remember?"

"You were there? I don't remember seeing you at the DEO."

"I was there—I just stood behind James and another agent so you wouldn't see me. I hid."

"I saw you that night, you know. When I was in that desert, bleeding out, all I wanted was to not be alone and then I saw you-and suddenly I was less afraid because you were there, Lena. You hated me so much and yet all I wanted was to see you one more time."

"Oh Kara," Lena said, her voice thick with tears.

"I wasn't alone and when I was laying there in that sand, it was all that mattered," Kara said as she too began to cry. "I'm really sorry, Lena."

"For what, Kara?"

"For everything, for being an ass, for not trusting you, for lying to you. I was just so afraid and freaked out."

"Kara, I'm sorry too. Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. I was so afraid of losing my friend that I lost all my logic and reasoning—and I still ended up losing a friend. I was so single-mindedly fixated on saving Sam that I didn't think about how you would feel about your best friend producing the one thing on Earth that can kill you. I never should have kept the Kryptonite a secret, I know that. I should have been more understanding and I shouldn't have turned my back on you. You don't owe me your secret. I understand why you didn't tell me. I'll admit I was hurt—and I still am, a little—but I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

"Forgive you? I'm the one who should be asking that. Can you please forgive me for being an ass, Lena?"

"Yes, of course, Kara. You're my best friend and I love you. So much."

"I love you too, Lena."

"No, I mean I'm in love with you, too."

"You are?"

"Of course, I am. How could I not? You're a wonderful person, Kara Danvers. Even though you're the special kind of jerk who apologizes, admits they love you, and tell you not to be sad about their death all in the same letter."

"Sorry," Kara said sheepishly. "Lena, can I kiss you?" Kara asked boldly. Lena nodded and Kara gently put her hand on Lena's cheek, stroking it with her thumb, before kissing the brunette passionately.

Outside the room, as Kara and Lena kissed, Maggie silently handed Alex a $20 bill. "See I told you they'd suck face today. Though I really wish I didn't have to see it," Alex grumbled as she dramatically covered her eyes with her hand. Maggie simply laughed in response.

As the two women parted, Kara smiled and gently leaned her forehead against Lena's. "We still have a lot to talk about, Kara."

"I know."

"But do you think we could just stay like this for a moment?" Kara nodded wordlessly and gently placed a chaste kiss on Lena's lips.

"Lena, what does this mean for us?" Kara asked after several minutes of silence. "Are we dating now?"

"Not quite, but I'd love for you to have dinner with me on Friday."

"As a date?"

"Yes, as a date," Lena laughed out.

As Kara and Lena enjoyed their bliss, the rest of the Superfriends arrived at the DEO. The duo walked into the DEO's command center and were greeted by several whoops and a very big group hug. Kara offered to tell them what had happened, but they declined an explanation, saying that all that mattered was that Kara was alive and with her family again. They were also overjoyed to find out that Kara and Lena were finally together. Alex and Lucy happily collected prize money from James, Winn, and Eliza. J'onn and Sam had been smart enough to stay out of the bet and were $100 richer as a result. However, the two giddy DEO agents glowed in their triumph and soon disappeared to the closest 24-hour Chinese restaurant and corner bakery and returned with enough pot stickers and donuts to feed 10 Karas. Needless to say, the joy surrounding Kara's return from the dead was intense as even the on-duty DEO agents also joined in the revelry. They all gathered around the conference room table as Vasquez treated them all to the story Alex's misadventures wrestling a Tamaran, who got a little too excited by the prospect of unlimited pizza at an eating contest. Alex scowled as Vasquez passed around a photo of her covered in tomato sauce and cheese.

As the celebration wound down, a more somber mood descended upon the group as they realized that now they had to find a way to bring Kara back to life. "How are going to explain all this?" Alex wondered out loud as she picked at the food in front of her.

"I actually have a plan for that," Lucy interjected.

"You do?" Everyone asked, surprised.

"Of course, I do. Why is everyone always so shocked when I say that? Come on, guys, the DEO has contingency plans for everything, I even wrote a few."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Alex asked angrily.

"Because you didn't need to. I only know because some of them required a legal expert, which just so happened to be me."

"So what's the plan, Lucy?" Kara chimed in.

"Well, basically we're gonna pretend that Kara Danvers never died. Supergirl will actually be the one coming back from the dead. Can't have it so that both of you died at the same time and came back at the exact same time. That'd be too weird and a little too coincidental."

"How is this going to work exactly?" J'onn questioned.

"The 'FBI' will call a press conference and I'll take care of the rest. Just give me a day. I need a little help from Cat," Lucy said as she stood from the table.

Two days later…

Lucy and Cat Grant stand at a podium flanked by several DEO agents in suits as they prepare to make an announcement. A moment passes and Lucy begins to speak, "As all of you can remember, about a month ago, Reign rampaged through the city and Supergirl gave her life to stop her. Many other lives were lost, including up-and-coming journalist Kara Danvers. However, I am here to tell you that Kara Danvers did not actually perish in the ensuing chaos. Because Ms. Danvers was covertly helping the FBI gather information on the invader's weaknesses, we had cause to believe that her life was in danger, especially after the citywide threat that Reign had made. So, in order to keep her out of harm's way, we teamed up with the White House, whose efforts were spearheaded by Press Secretary Cat Grant, close friend and former mentor to Ms. Danvers. She was placed in the Witness Protection program until we were sure that Reign was dead and that no more allies would come to assist her. We are satisfied that the risk of any more Worldkillers coming to Earth is currently zero given the timeframe that has passed. Any further questions can be directed to Ms. Grant, myself, or Special Agent Hank Henshaw, who spearheaded the FBI's efforts to put an end to the Worldkillers. Thank you." With an air of finality, everyone walked off the stage and piled into black SUVs, which headed for the DEO. As soon as they entered the facility, they were met with an anxious Kara, Lena, and Alex.

"Did it work? Can I go back?" Kara asked anxiously.

"I think so. We gave a plausible enough story, so you should be good. Supergirl can make her return in a few days, so no one is too suspicious." Kara opened her mouth to protest, but Lucy held up a hand to stop her. "Kara, I know you're anxious to go back to the way things were, but you have to wait. We were fine before Supergirl and we survived after you died. The city will be fine for a few more days." Kara quietly grumbled in disagreement but brightened when Lena hugged her. "Listen, I have to get back to the desert facility. Take a few days before you throw yourself back into the real world, will ya?" Kara nodded and pulled Lucy into a hug. The major laughed and hugged the Kryptonian back.

As the crowd began to disperse, Kara and Lena saw Sam standing awkwardly in the corner of the command center. Lena gently shoved the blonde toward her friend and said, "Go on, talk to her. I know you guys have some stuff to discuss."

Kara awkwardly walked up to Sam and smiled a classic Sunny Danvers smile. "Hey, Sam."

"Kara! How are you doing?"

"Good. Really. It's so nice to be alive again." A guilty look flashed across Sam's face and Kara rushed to apologize.

"No, no, please don't. This is all my fault anyway."

"But it's not. Reign wasn't you and you weren't Reign. She was genetically engineered to bring chaos. The fact that you managed to contain her for 30 years is a miracle. You were never supposed to be able to do that. You kept things from getting even worse. You had nothing to do with what she did and you have nothing to apologize for."

"But—"

"But nothing. You were a victim too. An unwilling participant. She was the one who drove the knife into my chest. She was the one who did all those terrible things. It was all her."

"You know, your sister said the exact same thing," Sam said tearfully.

"Good. You should listen to Alex, she's like really wise. It's probably a big sister thing or something. Now give me a hug."

"A hug?"

"Yeah! They make everything better Sam. You should know this about me by now. After all, your alter ego killed me. We're practically family now," Kara said as she gestured for Sam to hug her.

"Kara!" Sam groaned.

"Too soon?"

"Way too soon."

"Sorry," Kara said sheepishly as Lena suddenly strode over and joined the hug.

Supergirl made a triumphant return the day after Kara and Lena had their first real date. Kara had wanted to come back sooner, but the thought of their first date being interrupted by an emergency made Kara determined to give her new girlfriend one normal date before the craziness began again. Going back to her roots, Supergirl interrupted a robbery at National City First Bank, shocking the robbers so badly that they froze completely. She casually picked them up by the backs of their jackets and deposited them right in front of the waiting NCPD officers waiting outside. The crowd outside gasped as they saw Supergirl standing there in all her might, the House of El sigil proudly displayed on her chest once more. She smiled at the crowd and took off to help with a forest fire raging 20 miles north of the city and returned in time to have a nice dinner with Lena at her penthouse. The two women reveled in their new relationship and enjoyed a quiet evening on the couch as they watched the news blow up over Supergirl's return. The next day, a statement was issued explaining that she had returned from the dead due to a currently not understood Kryptonian phenomenon.

With Kara back, many Superfriends and Danvers family traditions returned. Game Night was one of the first to return. Kara and Lena swept the entire evening. Everyone was content to let them win, glad to see their family back together once more. Sister Night became Family Night as Kara and Alex were joined by their significant others for an evening of movies and junk food. Kara returned to work about a week after coming back and to her great surprise, Snapper Carr greeted her with a smile and an assignment for her, a good one. He even began calling her by her actual name. Kara was so stunned at first that she didn't respond until he had screamed her name at the top of his lungs. And as things finally started getting back to normal, Kara began to truly recover from everything she'd been through. Being with Lena was probably the best thing that resulted from the fallout from her death. The two women were incredibly happy together and reveled in the joy of their newfound relationship.

Lena proposed to Kara 9 months later. Kara responded by pulling out her own ring and bracelet, which she had planned on giving Lena after dinner that night. They got married 6 months later. Their wedding rivaled Alex and Maggie's for the biggest, gayest wedding that National City had ever seen.

And so, all was well.

And so our saga ends... Thank you for staying through the end of this story and please let me know what you think!
