Multiverse Reborn: Supergirl

Chapter 5

After the work the next day, Kara flew out to Metropolis to see Clark for two reasons. The first one was to pull his head out of his ass and get him to put a ring on Lois's finger already and the second one was because of where she wanted to take Ray on their date tonight.

Anyways, when she arrived in Metropolis, she immediately headed for Clark and Lois's apartment.

"Kara, what a surprise." Clark said as he hugged his cousin when he opened the door to find her waiting.

"Yeah, sorry for dropping in like this." Kara said as Lois entered the room and hugged her as well.

"Kara, you know you're always welcome here." Lois said as she led her into the sitting room.

"And you actually saved us a trip to National City." Clark said.

"Why would you guys be coming to National City?" Kara asked.

"Because this something that warrants an in person conversation." Lois said as she held out her hand and Kara nearly squealed at the sight of an engagement ring on her finger.

"Well, this saves me some time. One of the reasons I came here was to knock some sense into Clark and get him to propose already." Kara said.

"Why else did you come here?" Clark asked.

"I need your permission to bring someone new to the fortress." Kara said.

"Who?" Clark asked.

"My new boyfriend." Kara said.

"Wait, you have a boyfriend. Who?" Lois asked, eager for the new gossip.

"Ray Palmer." Kara said.

"The CEO of Palmer Tech. Nice. Handsome, smart and rich. A golden combo." Lois said and Kara laughed.

"I don't care about Ray's money, though it is a nice plus. Anyways, Ray knows the truth about me, he saw me fly and he's actually helped me realize that I'm ready to walk the path." Kara said and Clark smiled.

"I like him already. But you trust him?" Clark asked.

"Ray is a huge science geek, I'm pretty sure that dating an alien is a dream come true for him. He won't ruin it, plus he's met Alex, though only in passing." Kara said.

"Still, that's enough to scar him for life." Clark said.

"You're the one who left me with her, Eliza and Jeremiah." Kara said a bit more spitefully then she'd intended.

"Looks like you still have something else you need to clear the air about as long as you're here." Lois said, since she knew that Kara likely held some anger towards Clark for basically abandoning her when she'd first arrived on earth.

"Kara." Clark said.

"I thought I'd come to terms with my anger at you for abandoning me, but I guess I was wrong." Kara said.

"I didn't abandon you Kara." Clark protested.

"The moment I landed on earth, instead of comforting me, you pushed me off on another family and rarely stopped by after you did. That was the time I needed you the most, but you weren't there." Kara said and Clark sighed.

"I thought it would be easier for you if I stayed away." Clark said.

"How would it have been easier?" Kara demanded.

"Kara, the whole reason you were sent to earth was to protect me. When you got here, you found that I'd already grown up and didn't need protection. I thought if I was around, it would just make you feel worse that you weren't able to accomplish your mission. And even though it killed me, I thought it would be better for me to stay away. I was wrong and I'm sorry." Clark said.

"I love the Danvers family, but I would've liked to have had you around a little more when I was growing up as well." Kara said.

"We can't change things that happened in the past. But we can make a better future. As long as you're sure you can trust Ray, he's welcome in Fortress. I'm guessing he'll be your plus one at the wedding?" Clark asked.

"Yeah he will and I'd better be a bridesmaid." Kara said.

"Of course." Lois promised.

"I better get home so I can take Ray to the fortress." Kara said.

"Good luck getting him out of the Fortress." Clark said with a chuckle.

"Thanks." Kara said with a laugh as she flew out of the apartment.
