“I made it for you!” “I can tell” with Kara and anyone, because of course she would

“I made it for you!” a small girl, probably around four years old, says with a toothy grin as she holds out a colorful piece of paper to Supergirl, who is mingling with the crowd. 

From inside the cordoned off area, Alex smiles at the sight. She always loves seeing the positive influence that Supergirl has on people, especially children. She’s so proud of the hero Kara’s become.

“I can tell,” Supergirl says, crouching down to match the girl’s height and mirroring her smile with one of her own. “It looks just like me. Thank you!”

She hugs the girl, who sways back and forth in her arms, unable to stay still with her energy and excitement.

Alex is about to return her attention to the containment scene happening around her when the girl runs under the barricade tape.

“I made one for you too!” the girl exclaims.

“Becca, get back here!”

Becca’s mother shouts.

Alex is several feet behind the barricade tape and waves off the closer DEO agents that move to intercept

Becca. She takes a few steps towards Becca and takes her hand. “Let’s get back to your mom.”

“Sorry about that,” Becca’s mom says.

“That’s okay,” Alex says lightly, not wanting to upset the little girl. “We have to stay on this side of the tape, okay, Becca?”

But Becca is focused on one thing only.

“This is for you!” she says, this time handing Alex a colorful drawing.

“Becca is a big Supergirl fan,” Becca’s mom explains. “She watches a lot of Supergirl footage, and she noticed you’re there by Supergirl’s side a lot, so she’s become a fan of you too.”

Alex did not expect that. “Oh, wow, that’s–uh–”

“Amazing,” Supergirl finishes for her, her grin even wider than it was before.

“Yes, thank you!” Alex says, giving Becca a hug. 

“Wanna know a secret?” Supergirl says to Becca in a faux whisper. 

Becca leans in, face bright with curiosity and excitement at being trusted with one of Supergirl’s secrets.

“I’m a big fan of her too,” Supergirl says.

“Supergirl,” Alex groans, feeling her face heat up with embarrassment.

Supergirl smiles at her. “It’s true.”

Eager to move on, Alex looks down at the drawing. It’s pretty typical for a child, broad crayon stokes depicting her clad in all black with red hair. Next to her is Supergirl, who is much more colorful. Alex has seen a lot of the fanart that Kara’s gotten from fans. She never thought she’d get some of her own.

“Thank you,” Alex tells Becca again. “I am going to keep this forever.”

Becca squeals with delight, and it’s all her mother can do to pull her away in the end.

When Alex glances at Kara, the giant grin is still there.

“Please stop,” Alex says as she turns back towards the containment scene.

Kara follows her. “I can’t help it. I’ll always be really happy when people recognize you as the amazing person that you are.”

“I’m a secret agent,” Alex says, putting on a pretend stern face. “I’m not supposed to be getting recognition.”

“Well I don’t care,” Kara retorts. “I think you’re amazing.”
