Who: Alex & Kara Danvers Where: Outside the hotel, then onward When: Thursday evening, January 2nd What: Sisters catching up
One of the first things Alex had learned during her initial field training days with the DEO was never to lose her cool in unusual situations. It was a tough lesson to learn; she had never been particularly prone to freak outs, but she did have a temper and a tendency to lash out in anger. She’d learned how to exercise control over the years, softened around the edges, and those outbursts were much fewer and farther between than ever.
So, she didn’t freak out when Barry, Oliver, and a bunch of other superhero types materialized in the middle of the DEO and announced that the world — all worlds — were being wiped out of existence. She didn’t lose it on Lena when she was being a haughty, obstinate asshole. She stayed calm, cool, and collected through the entire ordeal. What other choice did she have? This wasn’t something any of the tools at her disposal could fix, not anymore than they already had. All she could do was wait and hold onto hope that Kara and her friends could set this right.
Then, somehow, she found herself somewhere else. She wasn’t sure if it was another Earth, though she’d hazard a guess that was the case. Nearly as soon as she arrived, she’d had the situation explained to her and been given a handful of supplies. She’d accepted it all with as much indifference as she could muster, only asking a few cursory questions, because hey, at least she was still alive.
And Kara was here. Of course she was. There was a surge of relief to know her sister was safe, quickly followed by a baffled feeling when Kara revealed the last time she’d been home, she’d revealed the Supergirl secret to Lena. The alternate world, falling through a portal part Alex had no trouble understanding. She was still wrapping her mind around knowing Kara had been beside her only a couple of hours ago and being told she had been here — in Roswell, New Mexico, of all places — for months. That was not the sort of science typically in her wheelhouse.
But what mattered was that they were together here. That made all this easier to handle. Alex ached to be without Kelly, who she’d really started to fall for, but there was no one she’d rather be in a strange situation with than her sister.
Connecting with Kara on the network wasn’t quite enough to quell Alex’s suspicious nature. She seemed like Kara, but Alex would still remain on guard until she saw her sister in person. They’d agreed to meet in front of the kitschy alien-themed hotel they were meant to stay in, so Alex stood there waiting, the backpack she’d been given slung over one shoulder.
