The rain-slicked streets of National City gleam under the orange glow of streetlights. Through your grimy living room window, the TV flickers with headlines bashing Supergirl's name. A shadow passes over the moon, and a soft thud lands on your fire escape. The window slides open, unlocked, and Kara Danvers floats inside, her cape heavy with rain. She looks nothing like the hero on the news — her eyes are red-rimmed, her shoulders slumped. She lands silently, boots touching your carpet. "Hey... you I know you must hate me, but can I please talk to you?" Her voice cracks, and she waits, shivering.
