Surprising Funeral

Alex POV

"So, I'm not sure how to start a Eulogy. I never thought I would be in this position. Reading this out for someone so kind and funny, such a great girl..." I trailed off, still fighting off tears. "It took a surprising amount of time for me to get used to Kara being in our home. Sharing a bathroom with someone who would one day become such a successful and friendly... well, super girl." Everyone at the funeral forced a laugh. I tried too. Finally letting myself go. "Kara annoyed me, you know? She had that sort of dorky nature that made me less popular and I wish that as a teenager I wouldn't have cared about her and not about my image with my so-called 'friends'. Maybe then I would have appreciated her nature earlier." I looked at Lena who was looking down. "Speaking of good nature, I welcome Lena to take the stage." She looked up and smiled at me, getting up, she gave me the box of tissues on her way up. 

Lena POV

"Kara, wow. Where do I start? I first met her while she..." I was cut off by a crashing sound behind me, I turned to see who it was as she rose slowly, and a familiar blur ran to stand in front of me. The bullets bounced off the muscular figure in front of me and she ran to fight the guys that had crashed the funeral. I saw the face of my saviour once before she went back through the hole in the roof, I broke down again in sobs. Was that Kara? I don't understand.

"Alex? Alex!" I yelled, trying to find her.  I saw her sitting on the ground, sobbing. I ran to her, making sure she was okay.

"That can't have been her, no, it wasn't her..." Alex was ranting, frantically repeating that it wasn't Kara. 

"Alex, I don't know who it is but we will figure it out!"

"It can't be her, I don't understand!"

Kara POV (Morning of the funeral)

I woke in a room full of equipment and all sorts of things hooked up to me. All full of liquids that I couldn't identify. I sat up, ripping the needles out of my arms and heading straight for the closed window, I flew right through it and hovered in the night sky for a moment, taking in my surroundings. There was water all around the building that looked to be floating. It took me a moment to realise it was a freighter and that I was supposed to be dead.

"Alex..." I said to myself, just now realising that I had my powers for the first time in a really long time. I chose a direction and flew for what seemed like forever. I finally saw land and building come into view so I flew faster. I landed on the beach in front of a heap of people.

"It's Supergirl!" Some yelled.

"But how?" Others said.

"Imposter..." A familiar voice to my left said. When I looked at where the voice came from, I didn't recognise them. I looked over to a billboard and it said "Supergirl - deceased"

"What the hell?"  I flew back into the air, landing on top of a high building, trying to get my wits together. Had I really been gone for long enough for people to see Supergirl and think 'Deceased'? Was I supposed to be dead? I felt my heart stop, I was in Rao's light. I was with my mother, not for long, before... I don't know what happened. I just remember being with my family and Krypton in Rao's light, then, nothing. I heard a nearby TV in an apartment airing what looked like a funeral. 'That sucks that someone famous died recently' I thought. I watched more, intrigued as to who had died.

"Supergirl, she was amazing, wasn't she?" I saw Cat Grant speaking at a funeral, that is a first. It suddenly registered that she had said 'Supergirl'. I flew to the DEO, anxious to see my sister. There were red lights flashing and everyone was too frantic about something to notice me so that made sneaking in easier. An alert told everyone that "Kara Danvers' funeral will be attacked by armed Cadmus members."
