The first thing she sees on Earth is color. Green, to be specific. It’s everywhere, the world is awash in this gorgeous, gorgeous green.

Alex checks to make sure she blinks every now and then those first few weeks. “That’s the color of your soulmate’s eyes. There really wasn’t any green on Krypton?”

No one did, and no one from Krypton ever would.
