5. a reunion kiss
There’s an earthquake in National City. A bad one.
Kara works all day digging people out of the rubble. She tries to keep her spirits up; no one wants to see Supergirl cry, no matter that some of the people she digs out of the rubble aren’t alive anymore. It’s emotionally exhausting, even for a superhero. Still, she only stops when Alex makes her.
“The city is going to need you tomorrow, Supergirl,” Alex says. “And the next day, and the next day. You can’t wipe yourself out today.”
Kara reluctantly agrees, slumping against her sister inside an SUV instead of flying back to the DEO.
“We’re going to get you under sun lamps for a while, okay?”
Normally Kara resists the sun lamps, feels too strong to admit any sort of weakness, but today she nods and closes her eyes.
