Kara is called away to finalize some backstory when Alex was left alone with Izzy.

Alex looked at the young girl as she gnawed on a hat that was part of the clothes Clark and Lois brought. She watched as the young girl let go of her hands and started to shack her head violently, hat still in mouth.

Alex walked over to her and grabbed her head.

"No," Alex said firmly and pulled the hat out of her mouth.

Izzy bit her hand in response.

"Ow!" Alex yelled as she ripped her hand away from the young girl's mouth.

While Izzy wouldn't have powers for another few years her physiology made the bite hurt much worse than it could have had she been human. Kryptonians have much stronger jaws, both in muscle and bone. Their teeth were also slightly sharper, not enough to be noticeable, but Alex has seen Kara tear though iron after just arriving on earth.

Izzy growled at her and jumped down from the bed she was on. She dropped to all fours and picked the hat up from the ground with her teeth and started shaking it again.

Alex rubbed her hand on her chest as she grabbed a tablet with the other one. She opened a file Kara had sent her on Kryptonian child rearing and scanned it. Once she found what she was looking for, she set the tablet down and moved back to the girl.

Alex bent down and took her nails and softly pinched the girl's ear. She yelped and stumbled back, hat back on the floor. She covered her ear with her hand and whined. Alex pulled back her lips, making sure her teeth were visible and growled as low as she could. She would never be able to imitate the sound Kara makes, but she could get close.

Tears form in Izzy eyes and Alex panicked, wondering if she went too far. She quickly kneeled down, but before she could comfort the child, she crawled over to Alex, whining slightly differently. Izzy, once she reached Alex, pushed her head into Alex's stomach before looking up, her eyes begging forgiveness.

Alex wrapped her arms around Izzy before sitting back against one of the cabinets. She pulled the girl as close to her as she could and pressed her face into the girl's hair like she's seen Kara does.

She breathed in deeply, remembering Kara always sniffing at her when they were younger.

How many time did Kara do something 'weird' only for Alex or her parents to rebuff her? How many instinctual actions did she have to force herself to unlearn to 'be human'? How much of being kryptonian is left in Kara?

Alex felt her chest squeeze as Izzy started to nod off, her head over Alex's heart. Kara… her sister… what did they do to her?

"Is ne asleep?" Kara asked and Alex's head snapped up, her hand flying to a gun she wasn't wearing.

Kara raised up her hands, waiting for Alex to calm. Was that something she also had to teach herself?

"You scared me," Alex said, sitting back again, "Yeah, she's asleep."

Kara frowns slightly as the 'she' before sitting down next to Alex. She ran her figures through Izzy's still slightly wet hair, the dark gray giving way to a beautiful ash blonde.

Alex spoke before she could stop herself, "I remember you acting like this… so animalistic."

"Yeah," Kara said smiling, "I was so scared. Being on a new planet… my parents gone."

"… I remember us telling you to stop, to act- to be human," Alex said, looking away from her sister.

"Oh Alex, no," Kara started.

"We told you to be- forced you to be something you aren't-" Alex started.

"Alex, no!" Kara said forcefully making Alex look at her, "When I came to Earth I was already a girl… already had my gender… found-finalized in a way. I was still a child in the eyes of Krypton, but I was… too old for those actions. To make those sound and act, animalistic as you called it, was improper. It wasn't right, what you did was nothing my parents wouldn't have done."

"Not all of it," Alex said, tears still in her eyes.

"Yeah… not all of it," Kara agreed, "But I know… you were scared, scared I'll be found out, taken away. We lived in a time that it was easy to look up information on other cultures… if I acted to different everyone would have known."

"I still am scared sometimes, especially with Cadmus running around. Kara, you don't want to hear this but there was a reason they made Izzy and I doubt it was to be nice," Alex said and Kara nodded.

"J'onn and Kal agree. For now, we'll just raise nem. If something happens… we'll deal with it then," Kara said and laid her head on Alex's shoulder.

"Yeah," Alex agreed and laid her head on Kara's and Kara's hand stayed tangled in Izzy's hair.
