No matter what

Memories

Lena's POV
All the others left to go to a hotel or in Alex and Maggie case, home. I stayed to make sure Kara was okay. I still hadn't really sunk in she was supergirl and even though I was upset she hadn't told me sooner I was still happy that she trusted me enough to tell me. After shutting the door I turned back to see Kara laid wrapped up in a blanket silently sobbing on the couch.
"Kara?"
I raced to her side and sat beside her. She moved her head to on top of my legs. I played with her hair while she continued to cry.
"What's wrong?"
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of my aunts death."
"Kara."
"I was just getting through to her when she died. She never got the chance to change. She was evil but she was still my aunt and no matter what I will always love her."
"I know. I saw all about it on the news."
"Kal-el is the only real family I have. Yeah I have Alex and Eliza and everyone else but none of them are like me. But even then. Kal-el doesn't remember krypton."
"Kal-el?"
"Well I guess it won't hurt for you to know. Kal-el or Clark Kent is superman."
"Clark Kent is superman?"
"Yeah."
"Can you tell me about Astra?"
"When I was younger she was like a second mom to me. She cared for me like no one else. She taught me about galaxies and the stars. I was her little one. I still see it in my dreams. Krypton, mom, dad, Astra, baby Kal. I miss it. After that is usually followed by the dream of it exploding. Me loosing everyone."
"I couldn't bear to go through everything you've been through. How are you so positive?"
"I have to look for a silver lining."
Her phone suddenly rang and she answered.
"Alex? Yeah. Why. Okay. I'll be there in a second."
"She okay?"
"She needs me at the DEO. Will you come with?"
"Of course."

Karas POV
I stood up and quickly changed into my hero suit.
"Ready?"
"Wait. How are we getting there?"
"Flying."
She nodded and smiled.
"Hold on."
I picked her up bridal style and flew to the DEO. Flying was always peaceful but with Lena in my arms all my thoughts about Astra and Krypton slowly faded. I landed on the DEOs balcony and headed towards Alex, me and Lena hand in hand.
"Kara. Lena."
"Alex. What do you need."
"A parcel showed up today. A off earth parcel. The DEO salvaged it while we were fighting lex. I think you should have it."
She handed me a stone box that was inscribed with kryptonise.
"It's kryptonise."
She nodded and I used my fingerprint to open it. Inside was a note. I unfolded it and a wave of nostalgia passed over me. The writing looked so recognisable but it couldn't be.
"It can't be."
"What?"
"The handwriting. It's just like my mothers."
I opened the letter and read it out loud.
"My dearest daughter,
It's been a while. I finally figured out how to get this message from argo to earth. We are alive. Your father set up a system just before he died and now Argo survives by itself. We have a field that protects us but it keeps contact with outside worlds nearly impossible. I love you so much and I hope to see you soon.
- Alura."
"Kara."
I felt Lena hold my hand tighter.
"Alex prepare a ship. I'm going to Argo City."
"Kara no!"
"Alex if there is any chance my city and my people are alive then I have to go. Alex this is my mom I'm talking about."
"I know. Just. Stay safe."
"Thank you."
She walked off and Lena turned to me.
"I'm coming with you."
"No Lena! It might not be safe. Besides. I'll be back soon."
I gave her a hug before running off to find Alex.
"The ship is lined for Argo. Your mum sent co-ordinates. Promise me you will stay safe."
"I promise. Tell the others I will be back soon. I love you Alex."
"I love you too Kara."
I hopped in the ship and it sped off at the speed of sound. I was soon flying through the atmosphere towards Argo. After what felt like forever I finally approached a what looked like a floating island. It was surrounded by a protective dome.
