A Whole New Multiverse: Supergirl

Chapter 2

Okay, I need to be clear. I will not be doing a SuperCorp pairing anymore. Please do not focus solely on the pairings, there is so much more to these stories than that. I'm also warning you now that the Supergirl pairing will not be revealed as early as the pairings in the other stories will be. Please be patient and enjoy the rest of the story and I will reveal the pairing when I'm ready to. Now, on with the story.

Kara found that for the most part, her memories of the old timeline and the new one were more or less the same. She'd still been adopted by the Danvers, she'd been abandoned by Clark, moved to national city and currently works at Catco again, but right now she was still Cat's assistant, though she'd had the job for about 2 years already and Kara knew that one day, she'd be able to work her way back up to reporter and even now, she could already start her investigation into Lex's insurgency of the government so that way when Cat did promote her, she'd already be on the right track.

Anyways, Kara smiled when she entered Catco that day and found that as usual, she had arrived before Ms. Grant, latte in hand, waiting for her boss to arrive.

A few minutes later, the door to Cat's private elevator opened and Kara was immediately there to hand her boss her latte.

"Good morning Ms. Grant." Kara said quickly as she fell back into her old routine.

"Good morning Kiera. I see that for once my latte is actually hot when you give it to me." Cat said after sipping it.

"I finally managed to time everything right so that way your latte was still hot when I gave it to you." Kara explained, feeling a little humiliated as she did, but she knew that she needed to play nice if she wanted to Cat to promote her.

"Well, congratulations on finally doing it right." Cat said as she walked towards her office, Kara hot on her heels, making Cat smile slightly that she had this girl so well trained and so loyal to her.

"Thank you. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Kara asked.

"Just get to work." Cat said offhandedly.

"Right away Ms. Grant." Kara said as she left the office and sat down at her desk right outside of it.

Anyways, after sitting down at her desk, Kara decided she needed to do something that she'd put off for too long.

So she opened her online chat room with Clark.

Hey, you have a minute?" She typed.

His response came a few minutes later.

Yeah, what's up? He asked.

Are you busy after work today? Kara asked.

Never too busy for you. What's up? Clark asked.

I just need to talk to you in person about something. I'll tell you later. Kara responded.

You know you're always welcome here. Clark said and Kara smiled a bit as she thanked him before logging off and turning her attention back to her work, which right now, was ordering Cat's lunch. Not what she'd like to be doing at work right now, but she'd take it, since this was her first step into the world as a reporter.

After work, Kara flew out to Metropolis to Clark and Lois's apartment and knocked on the door.

"Hey Kara." Lois said as she opened the door.

"Lois, hey." Kara said as they hugged.

"I was surprised when Clark told me you were coming kind of out of nowhere. Is everything alright?" Lois asked.

"I think you know why I'm here." Kara said.

"So, you're finally going to have that conversation with him." Lois said knowingly.

"I've been putting it off for years, but I think it's something I need to do." Kara said.

"I'm glad you're finally talking to him about it." Lois said as Clark entered the room.

"Talking to me about what?" Clark asked.

"How you abandoned me when I first landed on earth." Kara said, taking Clark aback, since that had been the last thing he expected her to talk about today.

"Kara." Clark said.

"No Clark, I am going to talk and you are going to listen." Kara said in a tone that effectively shut him up.

"When I first arrived on Earth, I was a scared, 13 year old girl who'd just lost everything. Literally. I was at the lowest point I'd ever had in my life and that was when I needed you the most. But you weren't there. Instead of being there for me, you pushed me off on the Danvers family. Don't get me wrong, I love Jeremiah, Eliza and Alex as if they were my blood family, but they're not. You are, but you were never there. You know our family motto, El Mayarah, stronger together, I guess you forgot that when it came to me. You were the only person on this planet who could possibly understand what I was going through, but you weren't there. And even after you sent me to the Danvers, you could've at least come to visit or invited me to visit, but you never did. You stayed away when I needed you the most." Kara shouted at him, finally letting out all the anger she'd felt towards Clark for practically abandoning her as a child. Tears were streaming down her cheeks when she'd finally finished.

"Are you done?" Clark asked.

"Yeah, I am." Kara said angrily.

"You're right Kara. I was never there for you the way I should've been when you landed on Earth and it is one of my biggest regrets. I wanted to be there for you." Clark said.

"Then why weren't you?" Kara asked.

"Because I thought I'd just make things worse for you if I did. I was trying to give you a normal life, but at the same time, I also knew that you were going through a lot and I thought that seeing me all the time would make it worse. Kara, you were sent to this planet to protect me, but when you arrived, you found I'd already grown up and didn't need protecting anymore. I thought you'd feel like you'd failed your mission and seeing me all the time would make it worse. I'm sorry. I honestly thought I was doing what was best for you." Clark said as Kara sniffled.

"Well, you're not a total deadbeat. While the Danvers have always tried to keep me hidden, keep me from using my powers, you always encouraged me to be a hero. And I that's what I want, to be a hero the way you inspired me to be, but I realized that I couldn't do that as long as I was holding on to this anger at you." Kara said.

"And now?" Clark asked.

"Now, I'm ready." Kara said.

"Then we need to go." Clark said.

"Go where?" Kara asked.

"To the Fortress of Solitude. There's something up there you need to see." Clark said, confusing Kara.

"Okay." Kara said as Lois smiled at them, since she knew what Clark was going to show her.

"Have fun." Lois said as Clark changed into his Superman suit and he and Kara flew out of the apartment.
