People are more familiar with my Earth 38 doppelganger. She is a lot more interesting and she isn't rebellious like me. I look up to her as a sort of role model. This is my adventures, not hers. I am my own person with different experiences. My plan...
I had heard of Supergirl from Earth 38. I was Supergirl from Earth 90. Their Earth was exactly a year ahead of ours. I could make my own decisions and therefore, heaps of things were different on my Earth. My sister, Alex, was dead. J'onn wasn't the director of the DEO. James and Winn weren't my friends anymore and I was working alone as Supergirl.
"Kara!" Lena ran to me while I was heading out of my apartment building. My one friend. The only person I knew outside of work. I had Mon-El and Lena, that was it.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to figure out why she wasn't at work running her business.
"Kara, you need to see something..." She grabbed my hand and pulled me to her car. I followed willingly and we drove off, heading for her L-Corp, Lena's company. We made our way up to Lena's office, the whole time staying silent as Lena pulled me along.
"Kara..." I looked up to look at J'onn, he was badly beaten but still smiling.
"What the hell happened? How did you get out?" I ran to him, giving him a gentle hug and pulling away.
"I am not sure, the DEO must have put their security down just as I tried to escape," he said, then giving me a look of concern. "Alex is gone, isn't she?"
"J'onn, it was when she was kidnapped a while ago. Her cell was filling with water and by the time Maggie and I got there..." I trailed off, not wanting to think of the moment I lost my sister forever. "How did you know?" I asked, making myself forget about it.
"I couldn't feel her when I escaped. I took it as a sign that she was either really far away or..."
"I figured you would worry. J'onn, it has been almost two months, I don't want to bring up old memories."
"Well, I guess you won't want this then?" He gave me Alex's necklace, the one I made for her when we first became sisters. I took it from his hands and stared at it.

(FLASHBACK)
"Kara, you shouldn't have!" Alex gave me a hug. I hugged back and put the necklace on her. It was my family from Krypton's coat of arms made from little beads.
"Well, I did. Now you are a part of the house of El." I told her, giving her another small hug as we sat on my bed.
"Thank you, Kara, really," Alex kissed me on the forehead. "You don't talk about Krypton much."
"Not much to talk about. I ran away, programmed my Pod wrong and got stuck in the Phantom zone..."
"No, like, what life was like on Krypton. You don't talk about your real parents, do you ever want to see them again?"
"Sometimes. But, I know that I will see them eventually."
(In Real Time)
I knelt on the ground, keeping my eyes on the necklace. Tears started streaming down my face, I hadn't let myself feel this grief yet. I never let myself cry over Alex's death, I had just moved on.
"Kara, you need to let yourself feel," Lena knelt next to me, putting her arms around me and pulling me up so we were both standing. She took me to the couch at the back of her office and I sat there, crying until I fell asleep.
Sorry about the short chapter, the next will be longer. It is a Prologue after all. I just wanted to get the first part out.
