Supercorp/Supergirl - Short Stories/Scenes/One Shots

Alone

🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 FOR SEASON 4 EPISODE 10

First I had to choose between losing my sister and saving her, that's why I'd become Supergirl. Everyone else in my life I'd had to hide a part of myself but not Alex, not until now at least.

I'd had to pick between having Lena as a friend and having her know my secret identity. I knew that if she ever found out she would hate me for it but she was the only real friend I really had. Being in the building with Lena and Eve when it went on lockdown, having her try and protect me. She probably knew it was me by now and soon I'd have even less people to count on. All of the people I could trust at the DEO had had their minds wiped to protect me, excusing Brainy. I couldn't talk to him as Kara as I had no real reason to that wouldn't make Alex suspicious and who did that leave me with?

I had John but he was out solving cases and working on his life for himself. Winn had disappeared off into the future along with the man I once loved more than anything and his wife. James was really my only other option but he was my boss and my best friend's boyfriend. How could I trust that he wouldn't slip up around her at some point?

I felt so stuck and so lonely. I had no one I could truly talk to and no where to really go. Sure, Clark may partially understand what I'm going through but he had Lois. I had no one. I was tempted to just up and move to the same planet the rest of the Kryptonians were on but what good would that do? Colonel Hayley and her evil ways would still have control of the DEO. I didn't even have a ship anyway.

Since no one would really care I threw myself into my work. I barely slept as I was saving people all over the world and still trying to get to my job on time. If the rare occasion came that I had nothing to do I decided to admire the real things around me. I'd hang above the clouds, admiring the formations and patterns of the birds and let the wind whip my skin as I raced over the world. I also decided to visit parts of my heritage. I went to the Fortress of Solitude. I could pretend to talk to my mom or my dad even thought I knew they weren't with me. What else was I supposed to do?

It was such an odd feeling knowing everyone I really cared about would hate me if they knew who I really was. The country was still torn over whether they accepted aliens or not, I didn't belong here. I'd called Earth my home so many times but the whole point of a home is to feel comfortable, safe. I was supposed to have a family here. A family is about the people who make you feel loved but I didn't really have anyone. Movie nights with Alex weren't exactly the same so I eventually just kept cancelling. I knew I shouldn't have but what was the point on going?

Nia had become a superhero to help me, well Supergirl at Brainy's request. She still didn't know my identity because I didn't want to put her at any more risk. She couldn't really fight but that I could teach her over time. Dreamer as she was called had helped save so many people and yet the Agents of Liberty were just growing in numbers. I'd tried to show them aliens aren't as bad as they think they are but no one wants to listen to an alien or a reporter. The world was messed up. That theory was confirmed when the Agents of Liberty finally had a figurehead who was more than willing to go public, Lex Luthor. I didn't know how he got out but I was honestly scared.

Thanks to him even more people bought Lena's products but aliens had never been more hated either. Some had tried to hire protection but had been refused, what had this country come to? At the end of the day it was actually safer for aliens to get arrested by the DEO than just live in their own homes. Aliens were hunted by dogs trained to sniff them out. Of course humans were hurt in the fray but we aliens got the blame for anything.

I'd tried to reach out to Alex as Supergirl for help a couple times but she seemed to hate me. Every time we met at a crime scene I was almost treated as a nuisance. It got to the point where I was somehow pitted against her. There was a fight and I could've easily beaten her, I'd done it many times before. Only this time they were real punches, kicks, guns and attacks. She used Kryptonite against me, her own sister. I'd only had to land one hit to get away. I called in sick and spent a few days at the fortress of solitude, away from everyone. By the time I got back aliens were even more hated and I had about a billion messages but I didn't care.
