Kara hesitated slightly before greeting him, but covered it up quickly with a huge grin.

"J'onn J'onzz, was it? I'm sorry for my freak out earlier, I shouldn't have overreacted. It just-"

J'onn gently interrupted, with a kind smile. "No need to explain, Kara. I completely understand and probably would have reacted the same way if a White Martian showed up here. I forgive you, don't worry about it."

Kara grinned and leaned over to Alex, whispering,"I can already see why you and Eliza like him."

Alex giggled as Kara turned back to J'onn. "I just wanted to thank you for saving my life, and taking care of Eliza and Alex all those years that I couldn't. Thank you for searching relentlessly to find me, even though you were not obligated at all, it really means a lot to me." Kara thanked him with nothing but the utmost sincerity.

J'onn walked closer and squeezed Kara's shoulder. "Again, it's really no worries. I would have easily done it all again, if it meant keeping you safe." He then decided to poke fun at Alex. "Besides, who wouldn't want to spend ten years training and looking after a pesky, stubborn, annoyingly overprotective teenage girl?"

Alex faked an insulted look and mock gasped. "Excuse me?! This apology was going so smoothly, why was I roped into this? I have absolutely no idea what you are saying, J'onn. I'm no longer a 'teenage girl,' I'm actually 24 for your information. Plus, I have been nothing but pleasant and kind the whole time I've been within DEO walls."

J'onn gave her a look and sarcastically drawled,"Ohhhhhh. Yeah? Is that why half of my agents cower in fear whenever you walk by? Because you are just so innocent and kind. I find that a strange reaction to such a caring and loving figure, as you claim yourself to be."

Kara and Eliza watched their banter off to the side, smiling. The foster daughter then turned to speak to her foster mother, while J'onn and Alex continued to playfully bicker on the side.

"I just wanted to thank you, Eliza."

Her foster mother turned, confused. "Hm? Thank me? For what?"

Kara gave a small smile. "Well, I guess, just for looking after yourself and Alex. I wasn't sure what I would be coming home to, but it looks like everything turned out alright. Something I'm sure you had no small role in. You held the family together, even when it was falling apart. Thank you for being such a strong woman and for guiding me. For being such a great role model and mother figure for me."

Eliza was tearing up with happiness, overwhelmed by the emotion coming from her youngest. "Oh, Kara. Look at you. Thanking your old foster mother for taking care of your big sister. You're all grown up, compared to the 12 year old who left. I'm glad that after all you've been through, you're still able to laugh and joke and smile. I'm so proud of who you've become, even if you may have been forced to grow up a little too quick."

Kara was smiling wide. "Well, I know I'm definitely not okay. And I know I can admit that. I also know that it'll be a long recovery ahead of me, but it's better now that I can face it with you all."

At that point, J'onn and Alex had finally turned back into the conversation, having poked enough fun at each other for a lifetime.

J'onn nodded resolutely. "Of course, Kara. I may not know you well, but I'll always be here for you. Whenever you need me."

Kara's eyes shone with gratitude as Alex started talking.

"Yeah, I agree. You're going to have good days and bad days ahead of you. Some where you feel like nothing can stop you, and some where you may not want to even live anymore. But through thick and thin, we'll be here for you. Fighting it with you. This is something we can fight together, and I think we can beat it. I know you'll be okay, because that's who you are."

Alex and Eliza resumed their honorary holding hand positions, and J'onn pulled up a chair at the foot of Kara's bed. Just that much more extra support.

Kara closed her eyes, and basked in all of the love, as she fell asleep peacefully.

For the first time in ten years.
