“Mom, wait.” She says,just as Alura is about to step through the portal, back to Argo- worlds away,again, even though she knows she can reach her now much easier than before.

“Is there anythingelse you need, Kara?” Alura asks, looking at her. She’s holding the case, andsmiling at her daughter, still proud of everything she was able to do- even ifSam was the one who really saved her.

“I was thinking…”Kara starts. “I was thinking that, maybe, you don’t have to leave just yet.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. I mean, um,Winn and Mon-El are leaving tonight, and so is J’onn- and the last time Alexand I were trying to deal with stuff like this, we sort of took a vacation awayfrom the city, for a little while. So, I was wondering, if you’d like to comewith us- to Midvale. Where I grew up, on Earth.”

Alura considersit, for a moment.

“I believe Argowill be able to get by without me for a few more days.” She says. “Of course Iwill travel with you and your sister.”

“Great! We leavetomorrow.”

Alura smiles.

“I will certainlylook forward to it.”

Eliza knows Karaand Alex are coming.

Kara made sure totell her, after sister night was over, of course. She’d prepared for that.

However, she doesn’texpect a third person, coming along with them- a woman dressed in what shebelieves are Kryptonian clothes, who somehow she recognizes.

“Mom- this is- um.”Kara says. “I mean- gosh. Alura, this is Eliza Danvers, my adoptive mother onEarth. Eliza, this is Alura Zor-El- my birth mother.”

Alura smiles,delighted, just as she did when she met Alex. Then, she hugs aslightly-bewildered Eliza- who stares at Kara and Alex.

“I’ll explaineverything, Eliza.” Kara says.

“I know.” She answers.“But, for the time being, let’s go inside. I assume I’ll need to make an extrapie?”
