A few days after Kara and Alex had reconciled, she decided that it was time for her to come clean to Felicity.
"Kara, why did you want to see me?" Felicity asked when she entered her friend and boss's office at Argo Enterprises.
"Because I've decided it's time I told you something that I should've told you a long time ago." Kara said as she sealed off her office to make sure that no one else could hear.
"What is it?" Felicity asked as to her surprise, Kara removed her glasses and let her hair down from its usual ponytail and that was all it took for Felicity to connect the dots.
"You're Supergirl." Felicity said.
"I am. And I've been wanting to tell you my secret since we were in college." Kara said.
"I shared a bathroom with an alien." Felicity said, clearly going into geek mode.
"Yeah and is that going to be a problem?" Kara asked.
"No of course not, in fact, I'm thrilled, though now I'm also geeking about other things I've done with an alien." Felicity said and Kara rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I know you like to talk, but please keep this to yourself." Kara said.
"Yeah, totally get the whole secret identity thing. But who else knows about this?" Felicity asked.
"My foster parents, Alex, my cousin and his family, and Lena Luthor, since the day that those Kryptonian soldiers attacked this building, she was in my office and saw me suit up that day and of course Krypto, since he's from Krypton too. It's why he's so loyal to me. He's my childhood pet." Kara said and Felicity smiled.
"Makes sense. It also explains why he always seemed so much smarter than other dogs. I just thought you did a really good job training him and I'm guessing that the story you told me about him being the only thing you had left of your birth family is true?" Felicity asked and Kara nodded.
"I've had him since I was a kid on Krypton, he's kind of like the sky bison from Avatar, once you have them, you're stuck with them for the rest of your life. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly, when I first came to Earth, Krypto was the only comfort I had, I used to ball up in bed and cuddle with him. Thank Rao he's just as strong as I am so I didn't have to worry about hurting him." Kara said and Felicity smiled.
"So Superman is your older cousin?" Felicity asked.
"Physically, yes, biologically, no. I was born before him and was actually a teenager when we left, I was sent here to protect him, but my pod was knocked off course by a piece of debris from the destruction of Krypton and it wound up in the phantom zone, a section of space where time doesn't pass, so I didn't age until my pod somehow got loose. I still don't know how that happened." Kara explained.
"Wow, so you actually have memories of Krypton." Felicity said.
"I do." Kara said.
"Do you have a base of operation, like a Supercave or something?" Felicity asked her and Kara smiled.
"Meet me at my apartment after work. I'll show you, along with Alex and maybe Lena then." Kara said and Felicity nodded.
"Thank you for trusting me with your secret Kara. I promise I won't tell anyone. But I am going to get to meet Superman soon right?" Felicity asked and Kara rolled her eyes, but nodded.
"Yes and also Wonder Woman, since she's training me to fight." Kara said and Felicity's eyes bugged out.
"What about Batman, is he real?" Felicity asked immediately.
"According to Wonder Woman and my cousin, yes, but I have no idea who he is, since I've never met him and honestly, I don't really think he's the kind of guy you want to meet unless you have to. But you will get to meet Superman and Wonder Woman." Kara promised.
"I'll take it." Felicity said.
Later on that day found Alex, Lena and Felicity all clinging to Kara as she flew them out of the city towards the sea with Krypto flying behind them.
"Where are we going exactly?" Lena asked, since she saw nothing but open sea for miles.
"Trust me, you'll know in a second." Kara said as they passed through the cloaking shield and the island came into view.
"Whoa." Alex said, since while Kara had told her about the Island, it did not do seeing the place justice.
"Welcome to the Island." Kara said with a grin as she landed and set her compatriots down and Krypto landed next to them and barked happily, since he clearly recognized the island as Krypton. As home.
"Where did this place come from?" Lena asked as she looked around, still trying to process everything she was seeing.
"A data crystal Superman gave me inserted into the pod that brought me to Earth programmed it with the coordinates for this place, the pod crashed into the sea and grew into this island. It's a little piece of home here on Earth." Kara said.
"Like Superman's Fortress." Alex said, since she was the only one besides Kara who knew about the Fortress.
"Superman has a Fortress?" Lena asked.
"Yeah, though I'm not telling you where it is, since you haven't earned that privilege yet, but it serves a similar function as this place, only his Fortress is a lot less homey." Kara said.
"This place does look pretty cozy." Alex said.
"The entire island is basically a shrine to my people. My family, but it's also designed to serve as a base of operations." Kara said.
"This place is incredible." Felicity said, clearly geeking out.
"Yes it is and I think you're going to love playing that quantum processing computer." Kara said, pointing to the computer hub.
"I think I'm in love." Felicity said.
"No offense, but those of us who can't fly are going to need a more convenient way of getting too and from this place besides the super express. Though I think that ironically, one of my brother's old inventions might be able to help with that.' Lena said.
"His transmatter portal watch." Kara said, since she was aware of that little toy.
"Yeah, not sure why Lex never put those into production, since I have a feeling that they'd be a big money maker." Lena said.
"And thank you for that idea for Argo Enterprises. But anyways, think you can whip up three of those watches, one for each of you?" Kara asked.
"Yep. I've studied the tech Lex used to build his watch and it shouldn't be too hard. We can call it beta testing a potential new product." Lena said.
"I like it." Kara said, right as an alarm went off.
"What's going on?" Alex asked.
"I don't know. Kelex, report." Kara said as an android hovered down.
"Apologies Mistress Kara, but the Island's scanners have detected an unknown alien biosignature heading right for us. In fact, it just bypassed the cloaking shield that keeps people from finding it." Kelex said.
"Get behind me." Kara said to her sister and friends as they did exactly that before a literal green man landed in front of them, wearing some kind of red and black armor.
"Who are you and how did you find this place?" Kara demanded.
"I come in peace. My name is J'onn J'onzz. Just as you are the last daughter of Krypton, I am the last son of Mars. But you also know me by another name. And another form." the apparent Martian said as his body was suddenly warped with red light as he changed appearances.
"I think we have a lot to talk about don't we." Hank, or rather J'onn, said dryly.
