Kara arrived on earth at the same time and place as her cousin Kal and raised him.
I would really like to write this out as an actual story but I already have too many unfinished Fics so I'm doing this. Maybe I will write this one day but for know im just gonna leave this here.
When they land Kara is quick to find Kal and retrieve him from the ship.
It’s late at night and they are in a field.
she suddenly sees lights coming towards them.
She’s on a foreign plant and scared so she hides in the cornfield.
She sees two figures looking around and she runs with Kal in the opposite direction
After what feels like hours of walking she comes upon a road.
Somehow she’s not extremely tired but doesn’t dwell on it too much.
By this time it's early morning.
Eventually, They stumble upon a gas station.
It’s very confusing to Kara but she has no choice but to go in.
She tries asking for help but she quickly realized they could not understand her and she can’t understand them.
The woman behind the counter looks apologetic but Kara leaves before she can do anything.
The lady decides to call the police.
Not long after the police come across a teen walking on the side of the road with a baby.
After some convincing through hand gestures, the officer gets Kara and Kal in the car.
Once at the police station they are both looked over.
Ultimately, they determined neither of them had records, could not speak English, and that the girl was about 16 and the boy only a few months old.
Kara picks up English quickly and speaks broken English in no time.
A social worker helps them out and talks with Kara. She knows Kal isn't Kara’s son even though she insists he is. Kara knows if she claims he's her son it'll be harder to take him away from her.
The social worker lets it be though.
She suggests that Kara change at least her last name to blend in more.
Kara though wants to keep the name El
Kara and Kal’s legal names are Kara and Kal Ell
Eventually, they find themselves in foster care.
School is tough but Kara gets by.
She gets a job
their life is.... good.
But then she learns she can do things others can’t and so can Kal.
She starts to fear for Kal and her life. She doesn’t know what could happen.
Out of fear she starts to plan on running away from the foster family they’ve been staying with.
One of the girls notices and convinces her to stay until she graduates.
Once she does graduate Kara moves her and Kal to Metropolis.
Kara has saved up enough money from work to get by.
It’s tough but eventually, she finds her footing
Things start moving fast once they move to Metropolis.
She’s 18 now. She has a job and an apartment. Her English is better but you can tell it’s not her first language.
Kal is 3 and walking and talking like no one's business.
While Kara is shopping she finds those glow in the dark stars and buys them. At home, she uses them to make Kryptonian constellations. Kal looks up at them every night.
When Kal first asked about them Kara said "they are the stars of our home planet, where we are from. Just because we are the only ones left it doesn't mean we forget. We need to remember. For our people. Okay."
"Okay," Kal responded
Kal will sometimes call Kara "Mama Kara." in a similar fashion as mommy.
This stems from when he was learning to speak and he'd call Kara mama but she would tell him she's Kara as she hadn't fully accepted the role.
She loves it when he calls her that though.
Kara teaches Kal Kryptonian which he is fluent in along with English.
As Kal grows he starts to develop more powers
Kara has always gone to the gym to hone her strength and done various other things to understand and control her powers.
She doesn’t believe in ignoring their powers just because they have to hide them.
Once Kal does start showing powers she helps him understand them.
*Whenever the are able to get a break they go camping. There they can Exercise their powers without having to worry about others seeing.
Kara often teaches Kal about his powers through games.
Kal is now 15 and Kara is 29
Kara works almost all the time which sometimes worries Kal.
Because of their living situation, Kal has learned to cook and will cook when Kara is working late.
Kal has started high school.
Luckily he has his friends with him, BJ and Tyler. He’s also made a new friend, Jimmy Olsen.
Something that has been on Kara's mind a lot is what her powers are for.
She had once told Kal that she believed Rao had given them these powers so that they would be strong enough to live on and carry on for those Kryptonians who perished
Kara asked a coworker one day "You're a parent right. If you had powers others didn't what would you do with them. Would you try to make the world a better place for them?"
Sometime after that Kara started to use her powers to stop muggers and other petty crimes.
In secret Kara makes a suit with a mask to hide her identity. She put the house of El symbol on the chest. (BTW this suit has pants NOT a skit)
Some start talking about the mysterious figure but it isn't until she stops a robbery in broad daylight does she become fully known
Kara had been on her lunch break and she couldn't just stand back.
Media quickly took to the name Superwoman
Kal found out almost as soon as it happened
"How'd you find out?"
"umm the powers, the blonde hair. You really think I wouldn't notice my mom running around wearing a cape."
Kara starts to do more in daylight. She doesn't want to hide. She wears the mask though. There's a difference between hiding and protecting the ones you love.
This attracts even more attention both good and bad.
This included the Luthors who are less than enthusiastic
Lillian Luthor is the first to speak out against her. She says that they don't know Superwoman's true motives. They don't know who she is or why she's here.
This prompts junior journalist Cat Grant to try and track down this mysterious hero.
