Kara landed quietly at the Danvers back door, looking around the garden for anyone but saw no one, lowering her glasses she scanned the kitchen and sighed and what she could see, her adoptive mother and father standing on opposite sides of the room and Alex pacing around the living room. this was not a good sign. Taking a deep breath she braced herself for what she was about to face, how bad could it be? She thought to herself.
Slowly twisting the handle Kara took one step in the door without saying anything, turned back around to shut the door, quickly glancing through the door window to think about how maybe it would have been best if she tried to fly back to the remains of krypton and just settle on an asteroid for however long her life span was.
Once she turned back around all the Danvers were there watching her. She had heard Alex's converses slap the floor with each furious step she took into the kitchen.
"Where have you been out Kara?" Alex asked, straight to the point as usual, "I searched the entire town for you. Dad nearly called the police."
"I met someone" Kara blurted out, it wasn't a lie but the Danvers all seem interested in this, Kara had not even mentioned the humans she interacted with in school let alone told them how she 'met someone'
"Oh?" her mother piped up "and... what can you tell us about... them?"
"She was at that school Alex went to today, she was getting picked on and I stood up to this mean guy but it turned out she was fine and then we had to run away from this grumpy looking head teacher through the streets, her name's Lena."
Everyone's eyes seemed to widen
"Dark hair?" Kara nodded "oh my god Kara that is Lena Luthor. As in THE LUTHORS. The ones who try and remove aliens from the planet. The ones who try and kill Clarke! You can't possibly be her friend!" Her adoptive father blew up rather unexpectedly.
Kara could feel her defences come up as the man started to lecture her.
"…and using your powers in public, oh my god Kara how many times did we talk about this?!"
"I didn't use them, not that anyone could tell" Kara muttered, trying to ignore the sound of one particular street lamp being knocked over.
"But Kara, you can't trust her. Or any of the Luthors' for that matter." Jeremiah stated with his arms crossing his arms across his chest.
"But I want to see her!" Kara rebelled.
"It's not up for discussion" Jeremiah stated
"My entire race got blown up! And you just want me to let go of one of the very few people I have on this planet just because of her last name?!"
"Kara you don't understand that people on this planet can be very very bad!"
"But is she?! What has she ever done to you?!" Kara finally snapped.
There was a silence and Kara took that as her queue to use her super speed and leave the room, up the stairs and slam her door shut (not enough to break the brittle piece of wood just enough to give enough sound that she was annoyed – something she'd learnt from Alex after multiple times.)
Crawling under her covers she held herself as she tried to refrain from using her laser beams to let out her frustration
Kara wished so much she could be back on krypton back in her family home.
Taking deep breaths she could hear the Danvers's muttering as if they were shouting right next to her, so she took more deep breaths and focused on the sound of other things.
The cars driving past, the planes traveling above, the sound of the till ejecting the tray of change down the road, until she could hear this strange consistent rhythm.
Badum, badum, badum,
It was a very calm heartbeat, Kara wasn't sure who's but it was calming.
A months later
"Kara! Alex! Pack your essentials! We need to leave, I've got no time to explain!" The mother of the house stormed around the upstairs throwing their suitcases to each of them.
"IS THE PLANET EXPLOADING!?" Kara screamed as she felt her heart start to race a mile a minute! "WE CAN GET IN MY POD! OH ROA NOT THIS AGAIN!" Eliza suddenly stopped all she was doing and put her hands on Kara's shoulders.
"Sweetie the planet isn't exploding but we need to leave here, something's happened to Jerimiah and we're in danger so we need to leave, ok so pack your bags. We're going to National city for a while."
Kara took a deep breath, nodding her head and used her super speed to pack for her and Alex.
The next thing she knew she, Alex and Eliza were in the car off to National City.
She never found out the truth what happened to Jerimiah, but after a few years he was declared dead, but Alex and Eliza didn't seem to believe that's what had happened and had refused to believe whatever reports and facts were pushed at them. They had the funeral never the less. Real tears were shed but neither accepted the possibility he was no longer with us.
Years and years passed
Alex joined the DEO
Kara finally unveiled her powers to the world and became Supergirl
One year Jerimiah returned to them, explaining the mess he'd been in. They all celebrated in happiness.
Then one night Supergirl was patrolling the skies of National City when she heard that heart rhythm. The one from all those years ago.
She raced to the source without hesitation and found her.
Kara waited on the roof of the opposite building.
The girl she caught.
She'd grown up to be a beautiful woman. Who was now the new CEO of L Corp.
And was currently in trouble.
Two men suddenly marched into her office and Lena ran out onto the balcony and fell off.
Her screaming filled Kara's senses as she leaped to the rescue, raising up she freeze breathed the Hench men and placed landed the balcony.
Kara still held the woman in her arms and couldn't help but feel the warmth off the other woman.
Lena simply stared into the other woman's blue eyes. She was calming down from the near death experience and suddenly realised what had happened. Suddenly she broke into the most confident smile Kara had ever seen.
"Hello Classified."
"... and that's how your mom won me over" Kara sighed as she held one of her children as she looked at Lena next to her.
"I do not recall screaming when those guys pushed me off that ledge, also speaking of which did they ever -"
"AHHH!" a child shouted behind Lena causing the woman to jump out of her skin.
"KARA! JESUS H CHRISTE!"
Alex and Maggie came running in. But Maggie simply looked at Alex with a raised eyebrow.
"Sorry Lena," Alex apologised picking up her own little daughter "i started reading her this book and now she thinks she's a ninja"
"What book?" Maggie asked sarcastically, she knew. She'd told Alex it was a bad idea.
"Ahem... ya know little bed time stories... howtoattackfrombehindbyroyalmarines." Alex muttered.
"What?" Lena asked.
"How to attack from behind by the royal marines." Alex replied slower. "She found it from my old DEO training books!" Alex defended.
"If it helps I can't take our little one to my office anymore because what does she do?" Lena asked picking up her little one as well looking her in the eyes "you try and fly out the window to catch mama? don't you! and what do you break? all of ma's glass! yes you do!" Lena giggled into the child's neck.
That reminded her. She needed a new patio door.
