The Thoughts and Memories of one Kara Danvers

My Sister Alex Danvers

"There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. They aren't just like that because they want to. Something in the past created them, and sometimes it's impossible to fix"

It's true what they say, that's behind every person is a long a complicated story that has shaped the person they are. I should know, mine is extra long and extra complicated. My opinions and views have been changed and molded over the years. I like to think it's all made me a better person. The truth is, at the end of the day I am who I am because of 2 women. These two women are the very reason I am the woman I am. I owe them my life, God only knows they've saved it enough times.

The two women I am talking about, Alex Danvers and Lena Luthor. Like I said, I owe them both a lot. I'm not always the easiest person, I'm reckless, childish and impulsive, but the two of them took it all in their stride and never failed to make me feel excepted and loved. I'd like to tell you all about them, and the story of how I made my own family.

Today I am going to tell you about Alex. My sister.

Before I start this story there are some things you need to know about me. My name is Kara, Kara Zor-El. I am an alien. Those of you who were at the alien peace march will know what that means. I am Supergirl, I've finally told the world. I never thought this day would come, but here we are. Don't let this information stop you from reading my story, otherwise you'll miss out on all my 'adventures'.

Many of you have probably heard the story of my cousin, Superman. Mine starts like his, with the destruction of my home planet, Krypton. Unlike my cousin, I was not a baby. I was 13, I had grown up on Krypton, I remember sneaking out of my house and running through the back alleys of the city. Kids, if you're reading this, DON'T SNEAK OUT! You will get in trouble and you're parents will worry. Anyway back to my point, whereas Kal had no memories of Krypton, I did. I still look up at the night sky and can point out the burning light of Rao, krypton's sun.

I was sent away from the destruction, I was put in a pod destined for Earth. Something went wrong during the journey, and I ended up in a place called the Phantom Zone. It difficult to describe what it is, but it is a zone in space in which no time passes. I was stuck for 24 years before I finally crashed down on Earth. Originally I was sent to look after my baby cousin, but obviously that plan didn't work out. When I finally got to Earth he was all grown up, he had been adopted by a wonderful family and raised into a great man. Being only 13 and on a strange planet I needed a family. This is when I first met Alex, and the rest of the Danvers family.

Eliza was kind to me. She always did her best to make me feel loved and welcome. She was very patient with me when I was learning to be 'human'. I couldn't have asked for a better adoptive mother. Jeremiah was kind too, in his own way. He helped me more with controlling my powers. He gave me glasses laced with lead to help control my x-ray vision. I quickly learned to love them, as if they were my own parents, obviously it hurt knowing they weren't, but in time all wounds heal.

Alex was not as welcoming. She had gone from being an only child to suddenly having a sister, and one with super powers. It was understandable that she was annoyed at first. Eventually we learned to love each other. I took nearly dying and arresting a corrupt cop, but it wouldn't be a Danvers sister adventure if there wasn't some element of danger. After that Alex realized that having a sister was kinda fun, and my powers would definitely come in handy. At the time I never know how much I would love Alex, I knew I would love her, but I would have never thought it would be this much.

It was Alex that caused me to become a hero. Her plane was crashing, I couldn't let anything happen to her. I had to step in, well fly in. Catching that plane was the best thing I ever did. If I hadn't, I would never have be come the person I am. I walked out on a date to save her, granted the date wasn't going well, but still, that could have been my future husband I walked out on. Okay so maybe not but you get my point.

Thinking about it, the two people I love most in this world have a habit of being on crashing vehicles. There was two planes, two alien spaceships, a helicopter. I'm sure there was more than that. In fact I bet money on it.

It turns out Alex worked for an organisation that specializes in Extra-normal Operations. The DEO. I started working for them too. At the start it was annoying, everyone kept telling me what to do and I didn't like it. But soon everyone there became a member of my family. I love them all so much, and it meant I could spend more time with Alex, something I had been missing out on.

I could spend all day telling you stories of the adventures Alex and I had, but thats not the point of this. Alex Danvers is the strongest person I have ever met. She fights tooth and nail for the people she loves, she is a bad ass with a soft a squishy heart made of marshmallow. She likes fast motorbike and pretty woman. She gets angry when she loses at game night, but knows when to let someone else win. She laughs at things others would find strange. She loves beer and ice cream. She eats like crazy when she is stressed or nervous but somehow still looks like a model She has more love in her little finger than most have in their entire heart. I couldn't have asked for a better sister. I don't know what I did to deserve her.

Alex, you have made me better. You helped me, when I didn't even know I needed help. You allowed me all the space I needed, but never left me alone. I became a hero to save you, I stayed a hero because you believed in me. You have literally saved my life, more times then I would like to admit, and more times than you know. I will always love you. Danvers sister forever!
