A Christmas with Heroes

From Zor-El to Queen

While the Legends had their Christmas dinner, the Danvers, Kent, Whitmore-Dugan and Zor-El families were having dinner as well.

"All I'm saying is that, statistically, Supergirl is more popular than Superman." Kara jokingly raised her hands in surrender.

"Whatever you say, KK." Clark rolled his eyes as he took a bite of the food on his plate.

"I haven't been called that in a long time." Kara smiled softly.

"KK?" Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"Kara Kent." Lois grinned.

"Apologies, but I'm confused." Zor-El stated.

"It's what Ma Kent used to call me." Kara explained.

"My mother." Clark interrupted.

"She told me that if I had of arrived with Clark, as I was meant to, she would have taken me in as well. She also said that she had always wanted a daughter but by the time I landed she was too old to take on a teenager." Kara continued.

"As much as Clark hates to admit it, Kara was Martha's favorite." Lois added jokingly.

"I resent that statement." Clark huffed.

"Sorry, Dad, but even we know that Aunt Kara was grandma's favorite." Jon stated motioning to his brother and himself.

"That's not true." Clark tried to argue.

"Come on, Kal, the first time you took me to meet her, she ran over to me and hugged me, completely ignoring you." Kara laughed at her cousins pout.

"Whatever." Clark grumbled.

"The Kent farm used to be one of my favorite places on Earth." Kara grinned, "It was the one place I felt completely accepted and like I didn't have to hide."

"You guys should come visit us sometime after Christmas, enjoy the small town life, outside of the city." Lois smiled.

"That would be nice." Oliver agreed.

"Yeah, I haven't been to Smallville in years, it would be nice to see Lana again." Kara smiled.

"Why was the Kent farm your favorite place? What about your home with Grandma and Aunt Alex?" William questioned.

"That would probably be my fault." Alex said with a grimace.

"Don't get me wrong, I loved living with 'Liza, Jeremiah, and Alex, but I felt like an outsider. Alex hated me, and I felt like I was a burden on Eliza, especially when Jeremiah had to leave, and I was constantly having to be careful of my powers. When I was at the farm I was free. There were no neighbors for miles, so I could fly without worry of being seen, Ma Kent let me help out with the chores so I could use my strength without being scared of hurting someone." Kara explained.

"Wait, you didn't like Mom?" Evelyn asked Alex in disbelief.

"Yeah, not my smartest decision, but when we were young I blamed all of my problems on her." Alex nodded.

"They used to fight worse than cats and dogs." Eliza shook her head, recalling the many shouts and door slams that had once filled her home.

"I was with you guys all the time, how did I not know this?" Courtney raised an eyebrow.

"Court, you were one of the only good things Kara had in her life back then, she made it very clear that the light in you was not to be tainted." Alex told the younger blonde.

"If you two hated each other, what happened that made you so close?" Slade asked.

Alex and Kara shared a soft smile before Kara answered, "We solved a murder."
