Super Weird Family

Hey there sister

The whole night, Kara couldn't sleep, and she stayed up crying as Peter hugged her, trying his best to comfort her as she sobbed into his shirt.

"It's gone, all of it gone." She said as she pulled away.

"I know, but you're safe now." Peter said as he smiled gently and wiped the tears from her face with his thumb. "I'll help look after you, I promise." He said and Kara smiled up at him.

"You will?" Kara asks. "Why would you do that?"

"I just want to help you." Peter guesses and that seemed to have helped Kara as a while later, she actually fell asleep as Peter just held her.

He only just met this girl, but he feels like he has a responsibility to help her.

The next morning, Richard and Mary informed Kara that they would be taking her in and as soon as they got back to New York, they would use their resources to help with it being done secretly to not cause suspicion.

"Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me." Kara said as she hugs the two of them.

"There's no need to thank us." Mary said as she rubbed Kara's back.

"Yes there is, you are taking me in and helping me, even though I'm an alien." Kara said pulling away, smiling, and wiping away her tears.

"We don't really know what you're going through, and we can only begin to imagine how it feels to be on a strange world and have nothing and nobody to turn too." Richard says as he rubs Kara's back in comfort. "But we promise to be there for you as much as we can."

After they finished talking, Kara began to tear up and sob into her hands again.

"Hey, hey Kara are you okay?" Richard asked, his voice filled with concern.

"I'm...I'm trying to be strong for my family, but I can't. I...I just miss them so much." Kara said as she cries.

"Hey, sweetie, it's okay to let your emotions out. Bottling them up will only hurt more later." Mary said as she stroked Kara's hair and kept hugging her.

"Kara, it's okay to be sad. No one can expect you to be fine after everything you've been through. When my mother died, I tried to bottle up my emotions because I thought I was being strong. But it did nothing, and then I remembered it will get better. Your family saved you for a reason. For you to live your life and move forwards." Richard said as he wiped her tears away with his thumb.

"I know you aren't our daughter, and we are not your parents, but we will treat you as if you were." Mary promised, smiling at Kara.

"Thank you, all of you." Kara said smiling at them all and pulled them in for a hug.

"No problem, Kara." Mary said with a smile as Peter walked up and saw the family hug.

"Did I walk in on a bad time?" Peter asks them, feeling a little let out.

"Get over here, son." Richard said playfully and pulls his kid into the family huddle. "Come on, let's get you a change of clothes and then we can go home, yeah?" He said smiling at his two kids as he breaks the hug.

Kara wiped away the remaining tears and nodded. As they were getting ready to leave the cabin, Mary gave a call to a friend from work to maybe check up on Kara.

Once they reached New York, Kara was quickly amazed by the size of the city. The sea of people all over the place and the mountains of buildings. It was all so foreign to her but at the same time it reminded her a lot of like how it was on Krypton.
