Sisters of Krypton

Kara sees Kate after eleven years and it is not quite what I expected...

I get into the driver's seat and drive out of the parking garage, out on the busy streets at rush hour. I talk with Kara on the way back about Kate and how she's been like how many fights she's gotten into, how many times she's almost revealed us, etc. She gets more excited the more I tell her. 

We finally arrive at the apartments and I park with a nervous Winn and a very excited Kara. "Kara, she's probably listening for footsteps at the moment. She does that everyday, but she will probably think I'm walking with the neighbors, so don't worry. You ready?" She nods, I look at Winn. He says a quick, sad "yeah." We walk over to the elevator and get in. Reaching the top floor, we get out and walk down the hallway. We reach the door and I open the door. "Kate? You home?"

"Yeah." She walks out from in our room, in her "relaxing outfit." She turns to see me opening the door, revealing the beaming Kara in the doorway.  "KARA!" Kate uses her full speed and bear hugs her, making a huge dent in the door (we had the strongest metal on earth put into the door so we wouldn't break it so easily.) Then, all of a sudden, she starts to cry and is hold Kate really close to her, squeezing her. They sit there for a while, Kara stroking Kate's hair and just sitting there. Winn and I just standing there, next to the dented door and sisters in the door. Then, they realize that they are just sitting there as Winn and I are standing in the doorway (and I note, very awkwardly too) waiting for one or both of them to move. They move just as Kate realizes that I have a human, not a kryptonian, next to me. 

Just as she starts to back up, Kara says, "Kate meet my friend, Winn. He knows, you're fine." Kate relaxes tremendously and walks toward the back of our apartment, where we hangout and watch things. 

"Winn, go ahead and make yourself at home. By the way, we are open to any questions you may have regarding our species." I say as he walks back to the couch and sits on it. I walk over to the kitchen with a Kara following me. 

"I was wondering..." she starts, nervously. 

"One second." I say before I shout, "Kate, don't you dare listen in on our conversation! You know that I know when you use them!" I look back her and say back, "As you were saying..."

"Well, I was wondering when you want to meet my other sister, Alex Danvers." I tense up a bit at the name, remembering the fact that I have to cover up the fact that I know her from the DEO, but not realizing that she was Kara's foster sister. Now that I mention it, she did say that she knew some one named Kara Danvers that looked a lot like me. BUT that was with my blond hair, not brown. "I know you don't know if you should trust her, but I have lived with her in my live for the last eleven years. I want you both to meet her. Please." 

"OK. You set up the date and we'll show up. Deal?"

Deal.

By the way, Kate is about to get her butt kicked real hard.

OK. Have fun.

"KATE ZOR-EL KNIGHT!" I shriek across the apartment. 

We walk from the kitchen to the living room. Kara and I cross our arms across our chests, looking at the two most childish people in the room. I look at Kate, grab a pillow off of my couch, and whack her on the back of the head with the pillow first. Then, I hit her in the same place with my hand really hard, hard enough to actually hurt her a little bit. 

"Ow!" She gives me and Kara the evil eye, but I stare her down hard enough to make her break down her own walls and apologize for not listening to me. She eyes Kara, but she shrugges. Kate rolls her eyes at Kara and then looks at me, angry. "Fine. I'm sorry for not listening to you and listening in on your conversation." 

"I know your 17, but if we hadn't been stuck to together in that God awful Phantom zone together, I would be beating you up in the sewers or alleys at the moment." I say as I sit across from Winn and Kara, who had sat down when I hit Kate on the back of the head and still had her arms closed across her chest, snickering. 

"Wait... you went to the phantom zone too?" She was shocked we were there with her.

"Yeah, you got hit off course with the blast from the planet's core exploding and we got off course because of a stupid space rock. We all got stuck there for 24 years, Kara. There's a reason why the last time we saw him on Krypton, he was a few months old." I lean into the chair and keep my arms crossed. 

Winn finally talks and says, "Wait, so your technically not 24?"

"Yeah, we were in a place where time did not pass. We are technically 48 years old, but we were not responsive or awake, Winn." He nods and then starts to smirk. Oh no. 

"What about suits? Can we go over that?" Kate starts to smirk too. Oh crud. Those two are plotting together. Bad things are going to happen to Kara and I with those two on us. I sigh in resignation. 

"Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea, I guess. I mean, I will be revealing myself sooner or later anyways." I say, not feeling the moment. 

"OK then, Kara's apartment? On the weekend, say day after tomorrow. You and Kara are getting costumes. No choice." 

"Oh good grief. Well, it not like I have a choice. And besides, you are so much like Cal-El. You both are so nerdy." Kate says, huffing at Cal-El's wearing off on her. 

"Who is that?" Winn asks. 

"Our cousin who lives in metropolis. You know him. He saves many lives and I take pictures of him." I say as Winn starts to hyperventilate. 

"You. Are. Related. To. Superman. Oh. My. God." He stands up and grabs his hair, stretching his hair. We all just stand there and wait for him to stop. He finally calms down at Kara stands up. 

"Yeah so, it's 7:30 and we need to go to bed. Good night guys." I say as I push them out the door and shut it behind them. 

I walk to bed and fall asleep after the very big day I had. 

°°°

Saturday. The day Kara and I get suits like our cousin. 

We are at Kara's and Winn had been working on the suits for 2 hours now. Kara and I change into one that has the same style and colors, but mine is slightly darker. We come out of Kara's room and look at the two "superfans" fangirl in the front room as we came out and crossed our arms in front of us. 

"This is way better than the last five you had us try on. Less belly, more aerodynamic. This is very comfortable. This is the one. But I am still not going to reveal myself quite yet. I'll wait for a least a few months or more." Winn become excited because of something on his computer, a crime for us to solve. 

"Kara, now that your a superhero, you need a crime. There's a car chase on the highway." she sets off into the air after she puts our family coat of arms on the suits.

"That's too easy." she says as she comes back covered in dirt after the car chase.

I start to snicker and comment that she missed some in her ear until I get set off to stop a robbery. I change my appearance to Kara's and then fly to the bank. When I get there, I'm greeted with gunshots. Luckily, I'm bulletproof so they bounce off and I apprehend the men and capture them. 

I fly back and sit down, covered in leaves from the trees on my balcony because I decided to drop off there on my way back to grab my design/photography journal and calligraphy pen. 

Kara gets sent off to stop a fire as I change back into my outfit for the day and fly to the roof, pulling out my camera, computer, journal, and pen. I look up to see her flying, then I see her falling from the sky, unconscious. My anger goes to my head, giving my eyes little speckles of red in them, watching the DEO soldiers scooping her up into a van and driving away with my sister I saw after eleven years two days ago.
