what if it wasn’t clark who found kara when she crash landed on earth?
what if clark was so used to hearing the crashing of space craft onto the planet that he long ago stopped checking for the cousin he was supposed to have. so, what if kara crashes into a field outside of a tiny town called blue springs, nebraska. what if the first person she meets on planet earth is not her cousin, nor jeremiah danvers or his daughter or his wife. what if kara stumbled from a cornfield and scared the ever-living shit out of a bruised and freezing fourteen-year-old maggie sawyer?
I’m all for Lena having already figured out that Kara is Supergirl but what I’m really hoping for is that Kara makes the decision to tell Lena who she really is because she wants Lena to know; that it’s her choice. In whatever form she chooses to tell her.
Think about it: Winn is the only person that Kara has decided to share her secret with, with no underlying motive. Winn is her best friend and she trusts him and she tells him because she wants him to know. And that was in the pilot.
As for all the other people who know her secret? The Danvers, James (and probably Lois) find out through Clark, J’onn found out either through Hank or Jeremiah, Cat figured it out and then confronted her about it in a scene where Kara is extremely uncomfortable the entire time (and then is proven “wrong” by Kara), Maxwell found out through spying, Barry knows something’s up when Kara isn’t bothered by being on fire, there wasn’t exactly a real decision in telling Mon el and Maggie figured it out through Alex’s attachment to Supergirl. These are several people who know Kara’s most precious secret and it wasn’t something she had a real say in.
Now Lucy is a bit of a gray area because on the one hand, yes, Kara decides to tell Lucy who she is but on the other hand, Kara does so because she needs Lucy to trust her in order to protect Alex and J’onn. If the situation was different, Kara would not have told her.
This is why I’m just really, really hoping that Kara gets to tell Lena on her own terms. As someone who finds it very unfair that Kara hasn’t had a lot of say in her own life and as a supercorp shipper, Kara telling Lena because she trusts her and wants the other woman to know (whether or not Lena already knows) can be so good for both of them. A Luthor and a Super who trust and respect each other wholeheartedly.
