***Disclaimer: This going to be a loooong chapter. It's going to be a multi-parter.***
"In other news today marks the five year anniversary of Supergirl's disappearance, will she ever come back?"
Lena heard the news station on the TV in the background and mumbled to herself, "Five years since she left. Five years without Kara. I can't believe it."
***Alex's Apartment***
"Alex! You're phone is ringing! It's your sister!" Lauren called from the kitchen.
"I'm coming!" Alex yelled back in reply from the bedroom going to the kitchen.
"Not the first time I've heard that," Lauren laughed now sitting on the counter holding Alex's phone.
"Ha-Ha very funny. Thank you," Alex said taking the phone from her, "Hello? Kara?"
"Hey Alex. I'm coming back to National City...for good. Argo was nice but it's time to come home," Kara told Alex.
"Oh...wow that's great! We're gonna have to have a long talk when you come back," Alex told her thinking about Supergirl's return to National City.
"Yeah, I know. I don't know if Supergirl is gonna return to National City. I'm going to have a lot on my plate as it is being head reporter at CatCo is gonna be a big job," Kara told her sister.
"Head reporter!? That's great Kara, I'm proud of you," Alex responded.
"Thanks, Alex! I called CatCo expecting James but Ms. Grant is back and Snapper's leaving so she wanted a 'real reporter' in her words not mine to take his place and I have missed CatCo," Kara confided.
"Where are you now? When are you coming to National City?" Alex asked.
"I'm at Eliza's right now. But I'll be coming to National City in four days...so Tuesday," Kara answered.
"Okay well I've got to go but I'll see you Tuesday okay?" Alex said.
"Okay, I'll see you Tuesday. Bye, Alex," Kara replied.
"Bye, Kara," Alex said and hung up the phone.
Alex set her phone down and grabbed the coffee cup in front of her and looked around for her girlfriend. Lauren was sitting on the couch on her laptop working. Alex sat down next to her and turned on the TV. Alex watched Lauren typing on her laptop not paying attention to the TV. She thought about the past four years with Lauren.
"Yes?" Lauren asked bringing Alex back to reality.
"Nothing."
"Liar."
"I was just thinking about when we meet and all the aliens we took out together. Good times, good times," Alex confided.
"Yeah that was fun wasn't it? I never thought I'd find someone that loved beating up bad guys as much as me," Lauren said laughing.
"I never thought I'd find someone that wanted the same things I do," Alex bringing a serious tone to their conversation.
"Me too," Lauren agreed. They both smiled and went back to their respective tasks.
***Four Days Later At Eliza's***
"Kara, are you sure you'll be okay to drive to National City? You know you can stay as long as you need to," Eliza told Kara who was loading up the car she'd left when she went to Argo.
"Yes, Astrid and I will be fine. I have to get to back to work at CatCo," Kara said.
"I still can't believe you have a daughter. I mean she's great and I love you both but it's still kinda crazy," Eliza said looking at Astrid in the back seat.
