Oh! Yeah, okay, I can... I'm kind of boring, to be totally honest, but sure. ( which is arguably untrue when you're comparing yourself to Regular Joes, but in terms of some of the other superheroes she's come to meet, kara figures she's one of the less exciting versions. but that's his question, and she'll do her best to answer it.
starting with... ) I'm, uh, obviously from Krypton. I was thirteen when your — well, the version of you, Kal-El, from my... world? Earth? Anyway. I was thirteen when your parents, my aunt and uncle, decided to send you to Earth. My parents sent me to watch over you, but my pod got stuck in the Phantom Zone, and by the time I got to Earth, you... well, he, I guess, was already Clark Kent-slash-Superman, and didn't really need an older cousin-slash-little cousin to look after.
So he brought me to my adoptive parents, Eliza and Jeremiah, in Midvale, and they were my family. They still are my family, I mean. And my sister, Alex, too. They really wanted me to be normal, not use my powers, not be Super anything — Jeremiah made me my first pair of glasses so I could learn to not see through everything all the time, and they made me promise not to go for midnight flights anymore, or to save people from car accidents or anything that could get me caught.
( she pauses for a moment, stares at a fry in her hand, and takes a thoughtful chew before continuing. )
Except my sister's plane got hijacked, and I had to save her, so... I did. And then I was Supergirl, you know, with the cape and the crest and everything, and I started to try and save my city from bad guys. I wasn't great at first, but my sister worked for a secret government organization called the DEO, and they helped me train, and now I help them protect the city — well, our country, and Earth, I guess too...
( the glint of her bracelet, thin silver with a tiny arrowhead charm, catches the light, and kara practically shouts in realization. )
Oh! And, honestly, probably the coolest thing — I have a friend, Barry, he's here. He's from another Earth, he's a superhero too, called the Flash. I went to his Earth one time to help him and a bunch of other superheroes defeat these evil aliens called the Dominators — we had them on Krypton a long time ago, way before I was born, did you have them too? ( take a breath, kara. ) Anyway, uh, that's where I met my boyfriend, Oliver... he's. The Green Arrow. Another superhero. But we didn't — I mean, at home, it's different, we didn't get together —
That happened in the other place, uh, we were both in another place like this one before we got here, Oliver and Barry and some other people and I... that's where Oliver and I. Got together.
( why is she still talking? why can't she shut up? )
That's... me, I guess. There's obviously, like, other stuff that's happened, like that time my uncle tried to put me in a murder-y plant coma so I'd be unable to stop him from taking over the planet... or having to be somebody's assistant... but mostly, it's been really good. Super good.
