Lena finds out that supergirl isn’t half human, or born on earth (because superman says he was sent here as a baby, and he clearly looks older), but is actually older than superman and remembers krypton?

She
doesn’t know why she’s surprised when she flies by L-Corp and finds Lena
working. Weekends had never seemed to matter to the CEO, so it stands to reason
holidays wouldn’t either.

Still.
It makes her…she doesn’t think sad is
the appropriate word, but it’s something close to that—an intense sorrow mixed
in with a generous dose of empathy. After all, if there’s anyone who can
understand wanting to be alone during the holidays, it’s Kara.

(Kara
Danvers has a family; she has a sister and a mother, and she cried the day
Eliza taught her the Danvers family secret eggnog recipe, stayed up all night
with Alex wrapping presents, ate candy canes by the dozen. But Kara Zor-El has
never celebrated Christmas, has never experienced snow, has never been able to
sing carols or eat cookies shaped like Santa or decorate a tree.

It’s

the holidays, without fail, remind her that who she is on Earth is not her true
identity.)
