A few days later found Kara's penthouse in full party mode, complete with bottles of champagne, along with chips and snacks, since Kara was hosting Jeremiah's official welcome home party and Karen's welcome to the family party. She'd hired an exclusive catering service to provide enough food to feed an army and considering the party would include her, Astra, Clark, Clark's kids and a clone of her, she still wasn't sure she'd ordered enough, but she could always fly out and get more.

Currently in her penthouse aside from herself and Krypto were her sister, Alex, Jeremiah and Karen, since the rest of the guests hadn't arrived yet.

"So, how are you guys settling in?" Alex asked her parents, since they'd been quick to find a nice house in a nice neighborhood in National City. The reason they'd delayed the party was because they were getting settled into their new home and helping Karen adjust to her new surroundings, which had included Kara giving her a pair of lead lined glasses to help suppress her x-ray vision, since the more time Karen spent in the sun, the faster her powers seem to surface.

"It's good. Though it still feels weird that Kara actually bought the house for us." Eliza said, since while the house had been within their price range, Kara had insisted on paying for it herself.

"Please, like it'll really put a dent in my income and this way I have an excuse to equip it with a similar security system I have for this place, since Cadmus is gonna come after both Jeremiah and Karen." Kara said, waving Eliza's concerns aside.

"I still can't believe that you're one of the richest women on the planet." Jeremiah said, extremely proud of his daughter's success.

"Earth's technology is too primitive to what I was used to on Krypton. I'm trying to bring it up to my standards." Kara said.

"I remember you complaining about that a lot when you first got here." Alex said with a chuckle.

"I'm sorry about that, but you have to remember that I was having to adjust to a severe downgrade in tech compared to what I was used to growing up." Kara said.

"Fair enough." Alex said with a chuckle as they saw Karen playing with Krypto on the floor.

"It looks like Karen's getting along well with Krypto." Alex said.

"I'm not surprised. If Karen ever needs to borrow him as a support animal, just ask." Kara said.

"I appreciate that. I remember how much he helped you when you first arrived." Eliza said.

"I'm just glad that Karen is having a good time and that I saved her from Cadmus. She deserves to be able to live a life where she can choose what she wants to be." Jeremiah said.

"Has her backstory already been established?" Eliza asked, since she wanted to make sure that everything was settled before Karen started school next week at National City High School.

"Yes, she's my biological younger sister and we were separated by the foster care system after our birth parents vanished under mysterious circumstances. I was immediately placed with the Danvers family, but Karen kept bouncing around between different homes and she got lost in the system, making it difficult for me to track her down and then I got so busy with my company that I lost track of her all together, though after I got rich, I did hire a private investigator to begin trying to track her down, since I wanted to make sure that my little sister was okay and the investigator tracked her down to Fawcett City, where she was actually living on the streets, since she'd run away from her most recent foster home. J'onn and I used the DEO's resources to put a whole cover story in order, including a fake birth certificate, social security number and everything else, along with a paper trail that supports everything. Especially since J'onn's shapeshifting and psychic powers will help cover any indiscrepancies that might come up if anyone digs too deeply." Kara assured her.

"And you brought her to me since you don't have the time to properly raise a teenage girl due to your company but you wanted to be sure that you wouldn't lose track of her again." Eliza said.

"Yep and she's memorized the story perfectly." Kara said, since she'd gone through the story with Karen repeatedly since the move to National City to make sure she didn't forget it and it was relatively close to the truth.

"And I'm all set to return to work at the DEO, since J'onn performed a psychic scan of my mind to confirm that I'm genuine." Jeremiah said.

"I still can't believe that you're willingly going back to working for them." Eliza said.

"It's a new and improved DEO. Not the same one Dad was forced to join years ago and mom, you know you're welcome to come work there too." Alex said.

"And you also have a job waiting for you at Argo Enterprises." Kara said.

"Thank you, but I think I'm going to like my new job as a teacher and researcher at National City University, especially since that will allow me to be home more for Karen, since I feel bad that I had to push so much of those responsibilities onto Alex after we thought Jeremiah died." Eliza said.

"Hey, everything worked out in the end and now you and dad have a chance to basically get a do over with Karen." Alex said.

"Without making the same mistakes you did with me." Kara said, since while she loved her foster parents, she couldn't deny that there had been a few problems, especially considering all the rules they'd put in place, Kara knew they were for her own protection, but that didn't stop her from being annoyed by them.

"Fair enough. But when is everyone else going to be here?" Eliza asked, right as there was a knock on the door.

"I guess that answers that question." Kara said as she went to open the door to find Clark, Lois and their kids.

"Aunt Kara." Lara said as she rushed forward to hug her favorite aunt.

"Hey kiddo." Kara said with a smile as she hugged her niece as her two nephews, Jonathan and Jordan, quickly joined it before Krypto barked, getting their attention and causing them to see Karen.

"Who is she?" Lara asked.

"Let's just say she's my new little sister and we'll leave it at that for now. But I think that she could use a few people closer to her age." Kara said as Lara wasted no time in going over Karen and quickly started acting friendly with her, while the boys were a little more guarded against it until their mother nudged them to follow their sister's lead.

"Thanks for coming on such short notice." Kara said as she hugged Clark.

"Are you kidding, considering what Jeremiah means to me, there's no way we'd miss this. Besides, I wanted to see this clone for myself. Man, it's like seeing you right after you landed on Earth." Clark said, stunned by how much like young Kara Karen looked.

"Yeah, tell me about it. We've already got a background story set for her and she starts at National City High next week." Kara said.

"With your money, I'm surprised she's not attending some fancy prep school." Lois said as she hugged Kara too.

"I offered, but Eliza insisted that the best way for Karen to adjust is to go to public school." Kara said.

"And do you think that she'll want to walk the path?" Clark asked.

"That's up to her. I don't want her to think that just because she's my clone, that doesn't mean she needs to be exactly like me. She needs to be able to live her own life. But changing topics, please promise me you'll be on your best behavior with Lena. She and I are still pretty early in our relationship and I do not want you trying to scare her off." Kara said to her cousin.

"Don't worry. I already made it clear to Clark that if he tries anything then he'll be sleeping in his Fortress of Solitude until further notice." Lois promised.

"Thank you Lois." Kara said.

"It wasn't necessary, since I still may not fully trust Lena yet, but I do trust you and I know that you wouldn't be with her if she was like her brother, but at the same time, I think a lot of people forget that Lex and I used to be best friends until he turned on me." Clark said.

"I know. But Lena isn't Lex. She's not even a biological Luthor. So please save that treatment for Lillian or Lex when we find him. But for now, let's get on with the party." Kara said and Clark and Lois nodded as she showed them inside fully.
