This is my first Fanart, and i just needed to make it because this scene made me so sad, i wanted to express it. I love them so much, and i think that we all saw it, the heartbreak.
Kara: hey so my planet blew up when I was a child my cousin and I are essentially the only survivors for that to happen and no one to try and escape there must have been SO MANY secrets kept also look at all the shit that my parents did, like my father creating the Medusa virus or that entire scene with my mother’s AI “Could she have [Astra] have saved us–but was she right?” and speaking of Astra I never knew what happened to her and only found out once she threw me through a wall after kidnapping my adopted sister oh yeah who also lied about actually killing her and along with that I was told my entire time on Earth that in order to survive in this deeply xenophobic society I had to hide every aspect of my being because if I don’t bad things would happen to me and the people I love if I didn’t also my sister lied to me for three years about being a Black Ops agent and I probably worried a lot about her various injuries that I now know were from various missions but I didn’t know that and couldn’t have helped her if she died also my two best friends went off to be secret vigilantes without telling me even though they have no training and I was honest about who I was and he can stop any time being a Vigilante but I can’t stop being Kara Zor-El, an alien, so no I am not all that fond of secrets I know it can seem a bit hypocritical but I am deeply traumatized and bad things happen when people keep secrets from me because if I don’t know I can’t help I have an entire ice fortress with Kryptonite tech I also have a Kryptonian education and know that this isn’t just science it’s magic maybe I could have helped Sam in some way I’m more than just a pair of fists
y’all: wow that kara she sure is an annoying hypocrite
also kara: lena i will literally die in your place I love you so much I’m just a little hurt right now ok I just want to know you don’t have any kryptonite considering I also cleared your name that time you went to jail and were accused of having it and you made me think that you would never do something like that when every other person INCLUDING JAMES TOLD ME THAT YOU WOULD
Alex sighed as she shut the door behind J’onn and Winn, giving one final wave to them as they headed back out to the car. It had been touch and go for a while there with Kara, but now she was safe and healing. As much as Alex would have preferred to keep Kara at the DEO, she’d insisted upon going home so that she could get some rest in her own bed.
Which was why Alex found herself puttering around her sister’s kitchen, cleaning up some of the dishes left in the sink and generally tidying up the place. It was calming. Something to take her mind off of what had happened that day. Kara… her whole life, Alex was her protector, keeping her safe. And then on days like this, when some psycho managed to hurt Kara… It rocked Alex to her core.
Her hands shook under the hot water from the tap and she balled them into fists, hoping it would steady them. Soft footsteps from the other room made Alex look up and she saw Kara standing there, a blanket draped around her shoulders. Not quite the cape she was used to wearing, but Alex liked it better on her.
“You shouldn’t be up,” Alex said, shutting the water off, her tone business-like. “You need to be in bed, resting. I was just cleaning, I’ll be out of here soon.”
“Stay with me tonight?” Kara asked, her voice soft, almost pleading. Alex resisted the urge to sigh. How could she say no to that? How could she say no to Kara? She couldn’t.
You know, maybe I’m being a little selfish, but… I couldn’t imagine getting through the next few months without you. Dealing with my father and all of the unexpected things to come. I would never let you go through that alone. It’s been a big year.
