I may not need Superman to be a hero, but I will always need you. 

#This is the relationship that is always going to resonate for me as platonic or romantic because Alex is the only one who#sees ALL of Kara. James is probably the closest second (And i really hope they continue to develop that relationship its sweet)#Winn sees a fantasy he can’t have and Cat really only started to notice ‘Kara’ when Kara began to become Supergirl#So many people  in Kara’s life look at the cute slightly awkward assistant and they think that’s the whole of Kara#and Cat sees – or senses – that maybe Kara can *become* more – and she’s right#but Alex is the one who knows – and has complete unshakable faith – in what Kara’s *already* capable of#Alex is the one who isn’t surprised or afraid of Kara’s rage or her grief#(I dont think James is afraid of her either but he was definitely surprised)#because Kara keeps those things hidden from everyone but Alex#Alex is the one who Kara trusts to see all of her because she always has from the first time they went flying#to Alex crawling under the table because Kara was afraid of a popcorn maker#Alex made the mistake of wanting Kara to stay ‘normal’ because (imo)  she was terrified for Kara#because  when you love someone you want to protect them and as soon as Kara put  on that cape Alex had to have known#she was never going to be able to truly protect Kara again and so she stumbles and makes mistakes#but she has always *always* known Kara was a hero#these idiots im just so emotional about them dammit

I think I am going to adopt arc’s tag of Danvers Squared because its ambiguity suits my purposes. I interpreted Alex’s wanting Kara to stay ‘normal’ f for the same reason she joined the DEO because she desperately wanted Kara to remain safe As a DEO agent Alex has a front and centre view to the shit that Superman deals with on a DAILY basis but worse than that? She is privy to exactly what the goverment has or is preparing and working on to fight people like Kara. She WORKS for them and not -I think- because she believes in it (though she does understand the alien threat from the prison) but because if she understands and sees it all first hand then she is better equiped to protect Kara in the event they come for her. Alex’s being DEO serves multiple purposes: 1) maybe she can do the job and keep Kara away from danger 2) if the DEO ever turns on Kara she will be uniquely placed to try and protect Kara because she knows what they have It’s only once Hank reveals himself as J’onn another alien refugee who was hunted by the DEO does she probably start to fear that day a little less because now she knows that Kara might have another ally. (and fuck now I want that story. I want the story of when the DEO come for Kara and Alex gets to her first grabbing her hand and telling her they have to run. that the government is coming for her and they have to go.)  via ayrki

# oh my god yes # bonus if its a pre-series thing # like kara doesnt know alex is deo and still isnt using her powers and now she has to run # the plane crash never happened so the catalyst still isnt there yet tags by @randomthingsthatilike123

I won’t lie: totally pre-series.  I am thinking Kara is still in college and she has no idea what Alex really does for work, just that she is terribly busy.  Too busy to talk to anyone in the family.  She misses her but Alex is being awesome and the world needs her to do that.  And then, out of the blue, Alex is in her dark dorm room, turning the stereo up too loud and speaking so that only Kara can hear.  That she’s in danger, that they’re coming of her and they have to run.  They have to run as far away from everything they’ve ever known (again) to keep her safe.  And Kara has no idea what the hell is going on, and it’s been months since she even heard from Alex, but there’s one thing she does know: Alex will always protect her.

OMG THE TAGS!! HJKJAHHFJAHKAL THIS IS GETTING TOO BIG AND I LOVE IT
