My ideal mother/daughter reunion:

1.) Confusion turned pure joy at the family reunited, hugs and face touching and “you’re so big, look at you!”

2.) Excited talking that has some small clashes, Alura is a lot more dry than Kara remembers, Kara isn’t as amendable as an adult. Kara speaks in a mix of Kryptonian and English because there are some words her childhood language didn’t teach her, alura remarks that Kara has lost some of her accent

3.) Mon-El says something and Alura snaps at a Daxamite interjecting when two Kryptonians speak. Kara remembers then the elitism and classism of her people. Tries to push through it, still riding that endorphin high but the creeping dread approaches.

4.) Kara mentions her sister without thinking, Alura says she doesn’t have a sister. Kara tells her about the Danvers and it’s a mix of happiness at someone caring for her baby and sadness that she didn’t get to be there for the majority of her life.

5.) both make cultural references the other doesn’t get, jokes that don’t translate. Awkward silence in the face of this person you love so deeply but do not recognize.

6.) a level of scepticism neither can shake, because is this REALLY their lost loved one? Or is it a trick? How can they ever know for sure?
