Chapter 90

When Supergirl and Superman arrived at the coordinates J'onn had provided, they found the rest of the Superfriends, meaning Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Dreamer, Powergirl, Wonder Girl, Miss Martian, Blue Beetle and Superdog, waiting for them.

"What's the ETA on the incoming ship?" Supergirl asked.

"It's about 5 minutes out. Brainy's back at the Island, trying to determine what kind of ship it is." Dreamer said.

"Has it made any attempts to attack?" Superman asked.

"No, if anything, it's decelerating the closer it gets. I was actually gonna go up and see if my ring can identify it." Green Lantern said.

"Do it and if it scans safely, guide it down here." Supergirl said and Green Lantern nodded as her aura appeared around her as she took to the sky and flew up to the approaching ship.

"Ring, scan and identify this vessel." Green Lantern said.

"Scanning. Confirmed. The ship is a Kryptonian transport." the ring said.

"I'm sorry, can you confirm that?" Green Lantern asked, thinking she'd misheard.

"There's no need to do that." Supergirl said as she and Powergirl joined her in the sky as the ship came into view and Green Lantern could her sister's breath hitch.

"You're sure?" Green Lantern asked her.

"It's been awhile, but I'd recognize a Kryptonian starship anywhere. I don't know how it's possible, but it's really a ship from home. The only question is, who's on board. Guide it in, but be ready for anything." Supergirl said, since while she didn't know how this was possible, for the first time in years, she allowed herself to hope that maybe, maybe she and Kal weren't the only surviving Kryptonians who weren't wanted criminals after all.

"Got it." Green Lantern said as she pointed her ring at the ship.

"Ring, take control of the ship. I want to make sure we control where it's landing." Green Lantern said as her ring fired an energy beam at the ship, covering it in her energy field to allow her to gently guide the ship down as those in the sky landed.

"Get ready. Every Kryptonian who's come to Earth aside from Superman and myself has tried to destroy it or conquer it. We can't allow Earth to be threatened." Supergirl said as they all got in fighting positions as the ship's hatch opened and to Supergirl's shock, Superdog barked happily before running up to greet whoever was coming out of the ship.

"I guess that means they're friendly." Powergirl said, right as the first passenger came into view as they knelt down to pet Krypto and she heard her sister's breath still.

"It's not possible." Supergirl said.

"Supergirl." Dreamer asked their leader as the guest looked up to face them and the moment she did, Manhunter, Green Lantern and Superman all understood her shock.

"Kara." Alura Zor-El said, a smile coming to her face at seeing her long lost daughter again.

"Mom." Kara said as Supergirl morphed back into the young girl who'd said goodbye to her mother all those years ago as she sped into her mother's waiting arms.

"I've missed you so much." Kara said as she held her mother as tightly as she could without hurting her with her superstrength, since Alura wasn't as tough as she was. At least not yet.

"I've missed you too. And I see that you've grown into such a strong, kind and beautiful woman. Though I'm not the only one who wants to see you." Alura said as her husband followed her off the ship.

"Dad." Kara said as she left her mother's arms for her father's.

"Hello Kara. You've grown so much." Zor-El said as Alura noticed her nephew.

"Good thing we're not the only ones who came here." Alura said, since while she'd like to hug Kal, there were two people on this ship who deserved to do that more.

"What?" Superman asked, only to be stunned when he saw the next two people walk off that ship.

People he'd dreamed of meeting his whole life, but never dreamed he'd get the chance. In fact, the only reason he recognized them was because of the monuments to them in the Fortress of Solitude.

"Kal-El." Lara Jor-El said at the sight of seeing her son, who the last time she'd seen him, had been just an infant, was now all grown up.

"Mom. Dad." Clark said, grateful that he called his human parents Ma and Pa, otherwise it would've felt wrong to go call Jor-El and Lara dad and mom. But he could.

"Hello son. You've grown so much." Jor-El said with a smile as now Clark rushed up to meet his parents for the first time in his life.

"How is this possible? Green Lantern was the one to ask what they were all wondering, though Kara and Clark didn't seem to care about the how, just that it was happening.

"I was able to create a shield to protect Argo City when Krypton exploded. The only reason we sent Kal and Kara away was because we had no idea if it would work, while sending our children to Earth was a guarantee of their survival." Zor-El said.

"Argo City survived?" Kara said, thinking that this day couldn't get any better.

"It did." Alura said.

"Wait, how come the Green Lantern Corp didn't know about this, since this seems like the kind of thing the Guardians would know?" Green Lantern asked.

"The shield I created keeps Argo hidden. To any outsider, it looks like just another asteroid and it prevents anyone, even the Guardians of the universe from detecting us. A necessary characteristic to protect us from any enemies of Krypton that might want revenge on us now that we can no longer defend ourselves." Zor-El explained.

"Tomar-Re will be very happy to learn that there are surviving kryptonians besides the ones here on Earth." Green Lantern said.

"How did you find us though?" Kara asked.

"Ever since Argo resettled, we've been sending out scouting parties to try and find a suitable planet to resettle on, since Argo is not an ideal long term solution. One of our scouting teams passed through this star system and detected a news broadcasts of you two here and we came to investigate, but don't worry, ruling council on Argo voted to limit the star systems we explore to ones with a red sun to prevent our species from becoming too powerful or dangerous, since power corrupts." Alura said.

"Well, thank Rao for the explorer who found us." Kara said.

"Funny you should mention that. We're not the only ones on this ship." Alura said and Kara was confused, wondering who else could've come, right as she saw three more people walk off it. A woman and two men. One of the men looked like a younger version of Clark, but the others, she immediately knew who the others were.

"Kara Zor-El, meet your younger siblings Sam Zor-El and Zak-El." Zor-El said with a smile.

"It's weird to think of you as my big sister when you look younger than me." Sam said as she rushed forward to hug her big sister.

"Perks of living under a yellow sun. I'll still look like this when you're old and grey." Kara said, immediately hitting it off with her sister.

"Uh Kara, I know you're all happy, but maybe we should take this conversation somewhere more private." Green Lantern said, since while she was happy for her sister, a place so out in the open wasn't the best idea for this reunion. No matter how overdue it was.

"Take their ship to the Island. They can follow me there." Kara said, since she didn't think her family knew how to fly yet and they definitely wouldn't be able to keep a low profile.
