"I'd be honored if you'd have me, J'onn. I'm grateful for the opportunity."

J'onn beamed wide and pulled Kara in for a hug. When he pulled away, he explained a little more in depth.

"We'd have you in the field, obviously, as you are one of the most skilled fighters we have. We wouldn't want to train you in firearms, as you are already proficient in hand-to-hand, so we'll have you as a secret asset on raids and alien attacks."

Kara nodded thoughtfully before he continued.

"We'd teach you all the necessary skills to harness your powers beneficially, and you'd learn to control them completely. I will also be assigning you to Alex's team, in case you need anything. She'll be able to take care of you, and in the event she can't, Agent Danvers and I are always in direct communication. Should you ever want to reveal yourself to the public, you'd be properly equipped with the skills necessary to make an effective hero."

Kara smiled at the thought of saving the world together with her sister. It was another one of their many dreams when they were children. Of course back then, Alex had wanted to save people as a Doctor and not an elite government agent, but things had changed since then.

Many things had changed.

Alex would be thrilled to hear that Kara was becoming an agent.

J'onn briefly finished up with an interesting question. "As you know, I along with everyone else, address Alex as 'Agent Danvers.' With you on the same team, and sharing a last name, you can see how that would be confusing."

Kara laughed a little and agreed. J'onn continued. "If we can't call you Agent Danvers, what would you like to be called? You would be a standout among the group and don't necessarily have to take on the 'Agent' part of the name. It's just something we could address you as during operations."

Kara thought long and hard about this question. "I'm really... not sure, J'onn. I know it's just a name, but it feels significant and I want to pick a good one. Got any advice?"

J'onn pondered briefly. "Well, Superman is your cousin. And if you were to go all hero on us later, when you are ready, it would be nice to have a similar name, no? It would immediately inspire hope and confidence with people. Might as well stick to that theme."

Kara nodded thoughtfully. "Superwoman, maybe. No! Supergirl, I think. No, I know. It's perfect, J'onn. The complete embodiment of empowering young girls, inspiring growth in those who don't think it's possible. Giving hope and confidence to women everywhere, the ideal of feminism. I know it's perfect, J'onn. I can feel it."

J'onn smiled at her excitement, at her enthusiasm to be able to help people like she had always wanted, without risking exposure. "Then I guess it's settled, Supergirl, I think it's time we go tell Agent Danvers about our newest addition to the team."

Kara nodded happily, and they walked off into the brightly lit halls of the DEO.

Back at the Apartment

Alex had been overjoyed to hear that J'onn listened to her idea and recruited Kara. She was also highly amused when her little sister started talking about her 'prestigious new code name that the rest of those DEO chumps couldn't have.' Alex laughed when she said that line.

But she was also very emotional. When Kara began rambling about her new code name, and what it meant to her, her big sister realized something.

Kara had grown up.

She had truly been through it all, and she came out the other side wanting nothing more than to help people. To inspire people with just a name. Alex had always known her little sister was strong, and would grow into someone special, but she never imagined it to this extent.

She was so glad that Kara had finally found something. And as an added bonus, working as an agent would prepare her for the future, if becoming a superhero is what she wanted to do.

Kara called over to Alex, asking what kind of pizza she wanted.

It had become somewhat of a tradition for them to just watch movies and eat pizza if Kara was feeling down.

It had been happening a lot recently, with Kara's self-inflicted black hole of emotional despair.

But tonight, it was different. Tonight it was a celebration of something good. And that hadn't happened in a long while.

When the pizza arrived, Alex and Kara cuddled up on the couch, finding comfort in each other.

They turned on a movie, while discussing the day's events and what the future held in store.

Alex started off. "Kar, I know you're going to become a DEO agent now, but with the nature of your skill set and your abilities, you're going to be on the front lines. I'll do what I can to protect you, but you have to promise me you'll be careful." Her words hitched in her throat. "I can't lose you again."

Kara grabbed Alex's hand and looked her big sister right in the eyes. "You won't, Lex. I promise. I'll be careful. No matter what, we'll come home together, or not at all."

Alex solemnly nodded. "Please make sure you do. I don't know what I'd do if I had to live without you, Kar."

Her little sister leaned in comfortingly and rested her head on Alex's shoulder. "You don't have to worry about me, Lex. We'll be out there together, and we'll take care of each other."

Alex looked down at her sister. "Don't be silly, Kar. I'll always worry about you. You're my little sister, after all." Alex reached for another slice of pizza before realizing the box was gone. "You're also the most terrifyingly quick eater I've ever seen. Kara, for real. I literally only ate one piece. You didn't even save a single extra?"

Kara grinned, attempting to look sheepish, but failing miserably. "Nope, it's all in here." She rubbed her stomach. "I'll go order more, Lex, it's fine." As she attempted to stand to reach for the phone, Alex stopped her.

"It's okay, Kar. Don't worry. Let's just stay here. I'm already comfortable anyways, it'd be a shame to have to actually stand."

Kara smirked. "Alex... How did you even become a DEO agent while being this lazy?"

Alex smiled as she pulled Kara in close. "It's a trick of the trade. I'll never tell."

Kara laughed contentedly as she leaned in to her big sister.

And they fell asleep in each other's arms.
