There are times she's an outsider, there are times she's a societal power-broker for those her age. Rather tellingly, she has two close friends amongst a sea of 'friends.' And none, of course, at her new school. ►Kara is fairly good at not killing people or crushing things at this point, though plenty of damage has been quietly paid for or swept under exotic Persian rugs. A lot of these cover-ups have led to a reputation among high society that Kara Luthor is a bad girl with a destructive streak, a true upper class rebel. ►Although Lionel and Lex have dragged her into the narcissistic muck from time to time, Kara remains a kind person at heart. She knows the names of every staff member of the home, keeps in touch with old nannies, and is generally considered a stealth sweetheart under a cold exterior by those who have spent any real time with her. Those who don't know her assume this is the act, and the Machiavellian rich girl who doesn't care about leaving destruction in her wake is the real Kara. ►All Kara recalls about her pre-adoption past is the nice old lady who found her and helped her, the cop who checked in on her, and the dream of a white skinned woman followed by the sound of fluttering wings. The only thing she truly recalls in detail is the white skinned woman telling her, "Despair won't like this, but this isn't your time little one."

What if Kara Zor-El arrived first, much younger when she arrived and ended up adopted by Lionel Luthor? Still a child when she was adopted, Lionel Luthor was a struggling businessman, a minority partner of a meager polymer company. The story was always through a charity for orphans he contributed to it was arranged he would foster the girl, and without finding a home he found suitable, took her into his family permanently. Good fortune and hard work, cunning and intellect, helped him create LuthorCorp: a company that would come to define bleeding edge technology thereafter. Lionel leaves out the violence and injustice done to the old woman who found Kara. Or that LuthorCorp was built on the back of the vessel that brought Kara to Earth. The very A.I. meant to guide and counsel Kara shackled and stripped, leveraged into helping Lionel. Lionel's wife had passed a mere few years before Kara's arrival. The home was stoic, cold, and distant; Lionel had no patience for disobedience. Yet the first few years after Kara's arrival to the Luthor home saw Lionel at least try, and Kara found a willing partner in navigating the ebbs and flows of Lionel's moods in Lex, Lionel's only child, three years her senior. Whether it was the incredibly strict rules, the gaslighting of Lionel, Lex was there to help Kara navigate Lionel's narcissism. When Lionel would try to pit Kara and Lex against each other, it rarely worked, and when it did the two were quick to apologize to the other and admit their wrongs. Over time both Lex and Kara excelled in academics, both focused on STEM. It was, to Lionel, proof Kara was one of them. Both began spending time at LuthorCorp, though eventually Kara made the decision to attend a university away from the LuthorCorps HQ. In the few friends she had, including Lex, she admitted to just wanting distance to find herself. In truth, she needs to hide powers she doesn't fully understand, let alone fully control. What Lex uncovered at LuthorCorp after Kara left shocked him, disgusted him, and left him in a cold rage. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) Kara tries to run away from the narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy of her adopted family, but with secrets buried as deeply as they are within this family, not even Supergirl can escape that gravity. At the same time, and likely no coincidence, Kara's powers begin to really develop. What results could make King Lear blush as Lionel, Lex, and Kara each navigate the maze of deceptions and buried secrets. Kara stumbles upon a new reporter with a killer instinct for the Luthor's named Lois Lane, as the two begin an uneasy alliance of necessity. Lionel and Lex clash, Kara learns more than she ever dreamed (or dreaded) she might, Supergirl emerges, and what remains of Krypton comes for the Last Daughter. All the while Kara tries to navigate the life of a wealthy heiress and university student. |
