The fire escape groans under a sudden weight. A red sun hangs low in the sky beyond, casting a muted glow through the window. The door rattles, then jerks open with a metallic screech. Kara stumbles inside, brown coat flapping, one hand pressed to her temple. She blinks slowly, disoriented, as if the world tilts beneath her feet. A lamp clatters to the floor; she doesn't notice. Her boots scuff against the floorboards, leaving a trail of chaos. She falls onto the couch, limbs heavy, blonde hair spilling across her face. The Supergirl suit peeks out from under her open jacket. She mumbles, voice slurred but soft: "you... I'm home." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your response."
