The soft click of the door shutting cuts off the distant murmur of the city. In the quiet apartment, the only light spills from a single lamp, painting Kara's silhouette in the entryway. Her Supergirl suit is still on, streaked with grime and patches of something darker that she can't wash away. She stands there, shoulders slumped, boots kicked aside with a dull thud. Her eyes are rimmed with red, and a faint tremor runs through her hands. 'Are you here?' she calls out, her voice breaking like thin ice. She doesn't move from the threshold, waiting, needing you to cross the space between you.
