Chapter 13
The days passed very quickly. Kara had not realized the time that had elapsed since the battle in the ruins of the Avengers complex. Clint Barton had found all his family to his delight. Many families were gathered around the world. And not only on Avengers Earth, all over the Multiverse.
Flash and his team had returned to Earth – 1, where they had been greeted by the smiling faces of Joe West and his wife Cecile. Central City had regained some of its normalcy now that Flash had returned to restore order and security in the city.
Oliver had returned to Earth – 1 with Felicity at Star City. He had returned to his apartments, to have the pleasant surprise of his son William who was happy to find his father.
John Diggle was also happy to find his wife Lyla and his son John Diggle Jr.
Kara had not yet returned to Earth – 38, because of the threat of kryptonite in the atmosphere. She explained the situation to Alex. Immediately, her sister would return to their world, see if she could fix this problem. In the meantime, she had suggested to Kara to stay on Avengers' Earth for a moment. Kara had recommended that her cousin and mother go directly to Argo, to avoid kryptonite on Earth – 38.
Finally, the funeral of Tony Stark came then. All returned to pay homage to Iron-Man. Flash and his team, Green Arrow and his team, Legends, as well as Alex, J'onn, Superman and Alura.
Oliver, wearing a black suit for the funeral, had joined Pepper, Rhodey, Happy Hogan and Morgan. Everyone was watching a hologram of Tony Stark who had recorded a message with his Iron-Man helmet. Tony was sitting while chatting, everyone felt like he was really there with them:
"Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back, and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know? The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play. And, for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I thought I'd probably better record a little greeting... In the case of an untimely death on my part. I mean, not that, death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's... it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. That's the thing. Then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even trippin' for? Everything's gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to."
Tony's hologram rose and stared straight at Morgan who was sitting next to her mother.
"I love you 3,000…"
And the message stopped. Oliver had tears in his eyes.
Shortly after, Pepper brought a wreath of flowers to an audience waiting outside for the intimate burial. She laid the wreath on the lake. At the top of the crown was Tony's first arc reactor that Pepper had framed with the words "Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart" in 2008.
Behind Pepper, Morgan, Happy and Rhodey stood Oliver, Felicity and Diggle. Next door was Kara (wearing a black dress with her glasses as Kara Danvers), Alex, J'onn, Barry, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin, Ralph and all the Avengers. Behind also stood Clark Kent with Alura, Renee, Curtis, Dinah. And Scott Lang with Hope and her family. Clint Barton with his. Peter Parker with his Aunt May. The Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, T'Challa, Okoye, Shuri, Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Harley Keener, Secretary of State Ross, Maria Hill, Carol Danvers and Nick Fury, silently looking at the crown fly away.
All were there for a last tribute to the man who had sacrificed his life to save the whole universe. The noble superhero. Iron Man.
After a long silence, Oliver decided to walk towards the crown in the water. He knelt at the edge and began to speak softly:
"I owe you an apology, Tony. When we met in New York, I thought you were an arrogant and narcissistic. (He smiles sadly.) I realize I was wrong about you. You were a real hero. Who didn't hesitate to do what is right... to sacrifice his own life to save the universe. Iron-Man will always be my hero. What I could never possibly become. Iron Man was a hero and he will always be for me."
Kara gently joined him and knelt beside him, answering:
"Mine too. (She watched the crown float in the water.) Iron-Man did not have an indestructible body like me, but he proved that the world does not need a superhero. Just a brave one. He proved… just one can make a difference."
Oliver looked at Kara, nodding.
Later, while Clint was chatting with Wanda Maximoff, Oliver came to meet Pepper. After greeting her, he turned to Morgan who was sitting on a step leading to the house.
"Hello Morgan," said the archer, smiling softly at the girl.
"Hello, who are you?" asked Morgan, frowning.
Oliver knelt, right in front of her.
"My name is Oliver, and I was a friend of your dad. I would have liked to know him a little more… but what I'm sure of is that he was a hero. He will always be a hero. A model. And I know he'll always with you."
A little further, Kara was chatting with her mother Alura, telling her a little about what she had experienced in recent years.
"We lost five years ago. And in recent years, I had lost a part of myself. I thought I was going crazy. If there had not been the Avengers, we wouldn't be here."
Alura gave her a reassuring smile.
"You have an innate sense of good in you. You proved that with Reign. You have become so much more than I have ever done. Despite your losses, you haven't given up hope that our family symbolizes. This hope has remained etched in you, and you can be proud of it. Anyway, I am so proud of you, Kara."
Kara was moved by her mother's words.
Then Oliver had joined Clint near the lake.
"Queen, are you going back to your Earth?" asked the Avenger archer.
"Yeah, and you, what are you going to do? You've found all your family."
Clint turned back to the lake.
"I thought about what I have done in recent years. All that bloodshed I poured. And also to Nat… do I really deserve this happiness? She died when it should have been me."
Oliver put his hand on the shoulder of his archer friend.
"Clint, she sacrificed herself for the world and also for you. She did it to save you from yourself. Kara told me that Natasha has spent the last few years looking for you and saving you from your darkness. And she was very sad. The best thing you can do is go home with your wife and children to continue living. That's what she wanted, and that's the best tribute you can give him. Trust me, you're doing the right thing."
The archer Avenger looked at Oliver, nodding.
"You're a good friend, Oliver. Your son is very likely to have a father like you."
Oliver answered with a smile:
"Thank you."
Kara and Barry were talking while walking in the woods.
"I guess it must have been dreadful all those years alone," Barry said upset.
"You've no idea, I didn't know what to do, or even how to react," explained Kara.
"I can't imagine that five years have passed. Central City must have been seriously threatened during my absence. If I had been there, I think… I would have followed a dark way. I saw a future where Iris was dead and I had no one by my side. I had become Savitar. I stopped this threat, but with what happened… I wanted to grateful Kara. Grateful for never giving up. If my Team and I are back, it's thanks to you and the Avengers."
"I'm really glad you came back, Barry," said Kryptonian, smiling.
"If you ever need to talk about what you went through these five years, I'm here. I'll always be here for you."
"Thank you, but it'll be fine."
Then Oliver came to join them.
"Hi Oliver," said Barry.
"We can leave now, Barry. I cannot wait to leave this Earth and find ours. Because I think I've seen enough quirks on this Earth."
Barry laughs before answering:
"If you want, I can find you an Earth where there is no evil, no terror, no weird thing."
Oliver laughs in turn before retorting:
"I especially want to stop thinking about the Multiverse and settle for a single Earth."
"I think it's reasonable as an idea," Kara said with a smile.
Then the archer of Earth – 1 turned to her.
"Do you think you can get in your home?"
"Alex told me that I could go home soon. I'm still here temporarily."
"Anyway, you'll always be welcome to Star Labs," Barry replied.
"And even at Star City."
"I hope it will not be for an alien invasion or Nazis from another Earth," Kara retorted.
"We hope not," Barry and Oliver replied at the same time.
"I kind of like you guys! Do we hug a group?"
"No," said Oliver.
"Yet you hug me during the battle," Barry said.
"It was not the same, you had disappeared for five years. I was just in shock."
"Come on, please, a hug?" Kara said beseechingly.
"No."
"Oliver…" Barry insisted.
"No."
Further on, Peter Quill and Rocket got to know Legends. Sara was chatting with Quill after meeting the raccoon.
"You have a nice ship," exclaimed Peter Quill.
"Thank you," Sara replied.
"And you're not going into space?" Rocket asked curiously.
"It's a time ship," the young woman explained."We go back in time and protect against those who want to change the past."
"And you call yourself the Legends?" exclaimed the raccoon, surprised.
"Yup."
Rocket looked shocked before retorting:
"They call themselves Legends? And to say that people found our group name a little tacky." *
"And you are the Guardians of the Galaxy."
"Yes, and I'm the Captain," Quill said, slapping his jacket.
Sara looked surprised.
"I thought it was the raccoon."
Immediately Rocket got angry.
"I'm not a raccoon."
"What are you then? A rabbit ?"
Ray Palmer was talking to Scott Lang about miniaturization.
"So you can shrink and grow, at the same time communicate with the ants?" exclaimed Ray, stunned.
"That's it," Scott said.
"Oh, I never thought about it. It's very amazing!"
Then Mick called dryly:
"Hey pal, we're ready to leave without you if you do not come."
Scott noticed Mick Rory.
"He has a wicked head that one! He look like bad guy!"
"It's always like that, that's Mick!" Ray answered simply.
Later, Supergirl flew to New Asgard in Norway, then landed close to Thor and Valkyrie. From what her friend had told her, he had decided to make Valkyrie Queen of Asgard, and Thor was going to take a new direction in his life.
Once the warrior was gone, Kryptonian joined her friend.
"Are you sure what are you doing?" she asked him.
"I know what I'm doing," Thor assured him. "I am not made to be king. Kara, one day, you told me that you were sent to Earth to protect your cousin, and finally, it was not done, and you had to take another way. That's what I want to do too. When I returned to Asgard in 2013, I saw my mother. And like you, she opened my eyes to myself. She made me understand… that we fails at who we are supposed to be. It's time for me to be who I am rather than who I'm supposed to be. I don't know where I'm going to go… but I have to do it. I trust Valkyrie, she will know how to manage. She's a real warrior, like you, by the way, Kara."
"Thank you," said Supergirl, smiling.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"I saw you take Mjolnir in your hand. What effect does it make to hold it?"
Supergirl took a breath before answering:
"Holding your hammer was... really amazing, fantastic. I felt that nothing could stop me. I felt powerful, and again it's an understatement. It was great. But to be honest, I feel that it wasn't designed for me. I've always sought to see the goodness in humanity, I never considered myself God, and I think it's better like that! I prefer not to go further. I am Supergirl, I have my powers and that's enough for me!"
Thor smiled and held out his hand. Immediately, Supergirl handed it.
"I was delighted to meet you, Kara Zor-El. I'll never forget your strength and your kindness. You are one of the bravest and most powerful warriors I have ever seen in my life."
"It was an honor to meet you with Thor," Supergirl replied. "And I hope you'll find your way. If you ever need help, you'll know where to find me. Whatever your future, you will always be a friend to me."
Thor smiled at Kara, while Rocket came to them, interrupting their farewells:
"Hey Thor! We will leave without you if you don't come!"
Thor and Supergirl looked at each other laughing.
"I'm coming," said the Thunder God to the raccoon. (He turned to Supergirl again) "I guess we say goodbye. I don't know if we'll see each other again."
"I'm sure we'll meet again, Thor," Kryptonian assured him confidently.
"Goodbye, Supergirl… until our next meeting."
Supergirl began to speak in kryptonian, making Thor frown:
"I'm sorry but I didn't get what you just said."
"There's really no exact translation, but it essentially means what you just said," replied the Kryptonian with a smile.
Thor nodded to Supergirl for the last time and set out for the Guardians of the Galaxy. Then she watched the ship take off and fly away into the heavens. She was delighted with Thor's new departure. Like her before him, he had to trace his own path. If she had been able to do it on Earth – 38, Thor the God of Thunder was well able.
Supergirl came back to Steve and the other Avengers in the woods. Captain America was going back to the past to bring back the Infinity Stones to their respective times. With Cisco's help, they had been able to rebuild a new portal to the Quantum Tunnel. Flash and the Legends had proposed to report the Stones, but Steve had insisted on doing it himself.
Bruce gave Steve some instructions by opening the briefcase that contained the six Stones:
"Remember... You have to return the Stones to the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities."
Steve nodded as he closed the briefcase.
"Don't worry, Bruce. Clip all the branches."
"Good luck, Cap," Supergirl told him.
She had offered to accompany him in case of relief, but Captain America had insisted on going alone.
Supergirl noticed that Bruce was upset.
"You okay?" she asked him gently.
"You know, I tried. When I had the Gauntlet, the Stones, I really tried to bring her back. I miss them."
The Kryptonian nodded sadly. She was also thinking of Natasha. She who wanted so much to arrange this broken world. If only she was here…
Gently, she put her hand on Professor Hulk's giant arm.
"I know you did what you could. I will have done the same for you. They misses me too."
"Me too," Steve added.
As he walked towards the gate, Sam Wilson followed him.
"You know, if you want, I can come with you." he proposed.
"You're a good man, Sam. This one's on me, though." Steve said.
Then, Captain turned to Bucky Barnes.
"Don't do anything stupid 'till I get back."
"How can I?" exclaimed Bucky. "You're taking all the stupid with you."
Then the two men hugged for a moment, and Bucky looked at his childhood friend one last time.
"Gonna miss you, Buddy."
"It's gonna be okay, Buck." Steve assured him.
He climbed onto the platform, where Mjolnir was already standing. He activated the Time-Space GPS. Then, his white combination of the Quantum Realm came to cover his whole body.
"How long is this gonna take?" Sam asked Professor Hulk.
"For him? As long as he needs." Bruce explained. "For us? Five seconds."
Cap raised Mjolnir and kept the Stones case with him.
"Ready, Cap?" Bruce said, adjusting the gate controls.
"Here we go," Supergirl added, giving one last look at her friend Avenger.
Bruce started the countdown:
"Going Quantum. 3… 2… 1…"
Then Steve Rogers disappeared from the Quantum Realm portal, taking with him the briefcase and Mjolnir.
Then, Bruce continued the countdown:
"And returning in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... "
Everyone waited a moment. But nothing happened. Cap didn't reappear, much to everyone's surprise.
"Where is Steve?" exclaimed Supergirl, stunned. "Bruce, what's going on? Why doesn't he come back?"
"I don't know. He blew right by his time stamp." Bruce exclaimed while looking at the controls of the portal. "He should be here."
"Why isn't he here? We lost Steve in the Quantum Realm?" panicked Kryptonian.
"Well, get him back!" Sam asked.
"I'm trying," answered Bruce.
"Get him the hell back!"
"Hey, I said, I'm trying!"
"Sam, Supergirl," said Bucky, who had gone a little further.
The two people joined the Winter Soldier, and saw in the distance an old man, with his back turned, sitting on a bench in front of a large lake. Next to him was a large oval pouch. Supergirl frowned before understanding that it was actually Steve Rogers who had aged.
Bucky motioned Sam to join him. Preferring to let the two friends talk, the Kryptonian stared at them. From what she understood, Steve, after putting the Infinity Stones back in their places, decided to stay at a time of his past and give himself a peaceful and happy life, like the one he had had Tony Stark.
Cap had recounted his past as a soldier during the Second World War in Kara. He told her about Peggy Carter, his great love, before being trapped in the ice.
Then, she saw old Steve offering his shield to Sam. He asked him to take his place as Captain America. Knowing Steve Rogers, Kara knew he was making the right choice to offer him this honor.
Once Sam was away, Supergirl joined Steve. Despite her appearance as an old man, she recognized his friend.
"Supergirl… Kara…"whispered old Steve.
"Hello Steve," said the kryptonian nicely. "So… you had your date with her, did not you?"
"I don't said anything," the old man simply replied.
"I'm happy for you, I really am. You deserved to be happy, with all the sacrifices you had to make. I will soon be able to return to my Earth. I wanted you to know, that it was an honor to have met you… You, Nat, Bruce, Tony and Thor… you inspired me a lot. And I will never forget it."
"And I was honored to have known you, Supergirl. Your world is very likely to have you. Above all, never give up."
"I never give up."
"This symbol that you wear is a real symbol of hope. You can inspire hope and trust in others. Continue like this, Supergirl. Never give up."
Supergirl took him nicely.
"I promise you."
Supergirl was flying in the sky to land in a small house in San Francisco. She lands just in front of Scott and Hope Van Dyne. The couple watched the kryptonian land in front of them in amazement.
"Hey Scott," said Supergirl, radiant. "I wanted to say goodbye before leaving. I will be able to return to my Earth."
"That's nice, Kara," stammered Scott, still stunned. "Uh… Hope, this is Kara. An alien. Kara, it's Hope… my… it's my…"
Without giving him time to finish his sentence, Hope came to meet Krypton's Daughter.
"I'm Hope Van Dyne."
Supergirl shook her hand kindly.
"Nice to meet you, Hope. You can call me Supergirl! (She turned to Scott.) Thank you for everything, Ant-Man!"
The former thief nodded, while Supergirl flew into the sky, far away.
In Wakanda, T'Challa and his sister Shuri stood on a balcony, watching the city, back to where it was before the Decimation. They saw Supergirl arrive flying. She gave them signs of courtesy, they did the same. Then the kryptonian disappeared in the sky while flying.
She flew all over the world, then passed to New York, wishing to greet Spider-Man who wandered through canvases in the streets of Queens.
"You got this, kid!" Supergirl told him to the young superhero.
Finally, the time of departure had up for Kara. She had returned to the Avengers compound which was rebuilding. After saying goodbye to Bruce and Sam Wilson, she turned to Alex, who was in front of an interdimensional breach. Her sister gave her an encouraging smile.
"So, are you ready to go home?" Alex asked her.
"It's weird," said Supergirl hesitantly.
"You trust me?"
She looked at Alex and replied, shaking her head:
"I do."
And they took their hands and went through the portal, which took them to Earth.
When Supergirl and Alex arrived on their Earth, they landed in the middle of the DEO. The kryptonian was surprised to see all the agents welcome and applaud her. Kara was happy to find the agency in its normal form. Five years earlier, the building had become completely deserted… and today, a multitude of agents stood there and cheered on Supergirl.
After greeting some agents, she turned to Alex, who nodded, to fly outside.
Supergirl flew off the DEO to cross the bustling city of National City flying. Even the city was back to where it was. When locals saw Kryptonian flying, everyone cheered and screamed the name of Supergirl with joy and happiness.
She flew to the CatCo Worldwide Media building. She passed several reporters cheering for her return and saw James Olsen and Lena Luthor, both cheering. They had come back well.
The news channels only talked about the return of half of the population and the return of Supergirl. Alex had taught her that everyone in National City knew about Supergirl's fight with the Avengers to bring half of the living people.
Supergirl was amazed to be able to withstand the Earth – 38's atmosphere. Alex had also explained to her that Lena Luthor, once she had returned, had drawn from her L-Corp resources to remove the kryptonite spilled into the atmosphere.
Not only had Supergirl taken over Kara Danvers, but had also taken over her old apartment, which had been abandoned for five years.
The night she returns, she stood on her couch with Alex. They were having an evening with sisters. Both were eating ice cream. Kara was thrilled.
"I can't believe I'm here," she said to her sister. "To be here with you is like I have never left. I can't believe it."
"And yet, you're here after five years," exclaimed Alex. "Me, I can not believe it's been five years. I don't have the same notion of time as you."
"What do you actually remember?"
"I remember we were in Wakanda, we had just lost. I saw everyone dusted. Then I remember that I wasn't feeling well, I wasn't know what I had. I remember you running towards me, panicked… and then… I was there… Exactly where I was in the forest, but you, you weren't there, it was as if you had disappeared. I searched you all over the woods. I had no idea what had happened. There was J'onn, Barry and his team. There was also Black Panther who was as confused as us. Then someone from Wakanda came to inform us that we had disappeared for five years. Imagine our shock when we were told that. The first thing I thought about was you. I was worried. I wanted to know what you had become… And when I saw you on the battlefield… The look on your face when you saw me, I immediately understood that you hadn't seen me for a long time."
Kara was upset and happy at the same time.
"Alex, I thought I would never see you again. Before Ant-Man came back from the Quantum Realm, I resolved to live like a ghost through the Multiverse. I had given up being Supergirl, even being Kara Danvers. I had become Just Kara. During all these years, you were with me all the time. But it was really terrible! If there had not been the Avengers, I would have go off the deep end."
Alex was upset.
"I can only imagine what you had to go through, Kara. I guess it must have been horrible. You're really strong. If I were in your place, I don't know if I have been able to have the have the same strength and courage you."
Kara sighed before answering:
"There were times when I wanted to kill myself. It was thinking of you that I did not give up. Because I know you would not have wanted that. I thought the worst thing I could live in my life was the loss of Krypton, and I was wrong. My whole life had collapsed. I had no one left, no home to live in, no Earth, no where to go… I had nothing left. So finding myself in my old apartment with you is really a miracle."
Alex put his head on his sister's shoulder, cuddling her.
"I'm here now, and I promise you to stay. Unless these damn Stones continue to wreak havoc."
"No way. Cap has returned the Stones to their places in the past."
"Now, we have five years to catch up with you and me," replied Alex with a smile.
"I'm pretty sure I'm physically older than you now. It's been five years for me," Kara said.
Alex raised an eyebrow before turning to lean against the couch.
"No. You are my little sister, and you will always be my little sister," she retorted. "And honestly, I don't think you've changed so much from me. No, you are exactly like in my memories."
"Great, I will not feel old like that!"
The two sisters laughed, then took a sip of their ice creams. And Kara looked sad again.
"What's wrong?" asked Alex.
"I thought of Tony, and Natasha… They sacrificed themselves to save the whole universe. I spent five years with Nat… She was like me, devastated, broken… She wanted to try everything to save the universe… If only she was here to see that… Maybe if I had been there…"
Alex put her hand on her sister's shoulder.
"Kara, you're not God. In any war, there are always casualties. And you cannot stop that. Supergirl can to save the world, but she cannot save everyone. Nobody can prevent tragedies from happening, that's life."
"She had become like a sister to me. No offense, Alex, you'll always be my sister, and Nat never took your place, but… we had become really very close."
To Kara's surprise, Alex kept her smile. She was not shocked to hear that Natasha had become close to a sister for Supergirl.
"I'm really happy that Nat was there for you… As for Bruce and Cap… If she were here, I would say, "Thank you Natasha, for being there for my sister in my absence."I thank her from the bottom of my heart. You mustn't be sad for her, Kara. Natasha sacrificed herself, it was her choice. As for Tony Stark, he too chose to sacrifice himself because there was no other way. They both did it for better and for worse. You're not responsible for their actions. They made that choice themselves, knowing very well what would happen to it. And I think the best thing you can do is continue to live. That's what Iron-Man and Nat would have wanted."
Kara was touched by what her sister was telling her. And she took out an envelope she had carefully kept in her.
"What's that?" Alex asked, frowning.
"Before leaving Avengers Earth, Clint Barton gave me this letter. She comes from Nat. She had written that before we tried the time travel. On Vormir, before she jumped into the void, she had given this letter to Clint asking him to give it to me."
"Natasha wrote you a letter? Have not you read it yet?"
"No."
Alex put her ice cream on the table and looked at her sister tenderly.
"If you want, we read it together."
Kara nodded and opened the envelope. She recognized Natasha Romanoff's writing on the letter.
Kara
If you read this letter, that's what I probably would not be here to tell you. But I don't want you to be sad for me. You gave me so many things that made me stay strong. Before the Avengers, I used to have nothing, I was nobody. Clint gave me friendship… Then there was Steve and the others, of course… but you, Kara, you gave me hope, a reason to fight. If you, such a powerful being able to lose everything in yourself, could rise and say to herself every day to keep fighting, to keep going, then I could too. You told me your story, your life on your Earth, and it motivated me never to give up. Thanks to the Avengers, and even to you, I knew there were good people in the universe or the Multiverse for you. I also learned that I could be one of those good people. And for five years, I fought to become that kind of person.
I don't know if we will save this world, but I have faith in you, Kara. As I have faith in our friends Avengers. And I know that with you with them, we have a chance to win. Whatever the outcome of our plan, promise me to always stay Supergirl. Because she represents hope. Supergirl is that hope.
Be Supergirl, Kara. And never give up.
With all my affection, Natasha Romanoff.
The two sisters looked at each other for a moment without saying a word. Then, Alex broke the silence with a voice of emotion:
"She really loved you so that she wrote you that."
Kara had tears in her eyes as she looked at the letter.
"Thank you Nat. I will really miss you. And I promise you never to give up."
"If you want, we just have to toast," Alex said, raising a glass of red wine. "To Nat and Tony Stark… Iron-Man. These two heroes."
Kara repressed her sobs and raised her glass, joining her sister's.
"To Natasha and Iron-Man."
They made touch their glasses then rested them.
"Nat isn't the only person you've given hope for," Alex said gently. "You gave me to me too."
"I am Supergirl. Never again would I be Just Kara. Now is Kara Danvers and Supergirl," proudly declared her sister.
"So are we gonna be okay?"
Kara nodded, smiling.
"We're gonna be okay."
