( kara hesitates for a moment, heavy breaths going in and out, before she finally spills the beans. she can't lie to thea. she's never been able to. )

I went home. ( she knows thea knows that, but it's a start, right? ) I went back to... to help my sister, to take care of her. And it was okay, at first.

( she may have met a man and fallen for him, only to lose him, only to get him back, only to lose him again in the most permanent of ways — barring death, of course — but that wasn't the pain that was weighing so heavily. coming back to cadelle had made her realize how little mon-el meant in comparison to something else altogether. )

I... I went to your earth. For Barry's wedding, I went with my sister, and it was beautiful. The wedding was really, really beautiful. ( but they can't have nice things, can they? ) But it got... hijacked. By evil Nazi versions of me and Oliver and their army.

( it sounds so insane. )

We — they — they were married. To each other, Thea, evil versions of Oliver and I were married to each other.
