Do you ever think about how Kara consciously chooses again and again to be Genuinely Good?
Her dad made the Medusa virus and her mom’s identical twin made Myriad and while their intentions probably seemed Noble and Good to themselves, they were ultimately used for Not Good.
These were the genetics that made her and she’s probably afraid of herself like Lena is. Afraid that she’ll become bad because she thought she was doing good.
