Only now did Lara realize she had ignored her own father, since his older self seemingly represented none of the features she admired him for.
With a strange mixture of shame and relief, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him like only he could endure.
[color=6ecff6]“You did good, Lara. Real good,” [/color]he whispered in her ear.

[color=f7976a]“Thanks, Dad.“ [/color]The sudden sense of fright followed, after she said it out loud. Lara looked around on all the people still gathered. Not only was she acting like an 8-year-old, but the fact that she and Superman were related wasn’t exactly public knowledge. And her internal struggle must have been obvious, judging from people’s faces. Lara straightened her back, cleared her throat and prepared to explain away.

Yet just as she opened her mouth, Superman went ahead: [color=6ecff6]“Everyone, I like to introduce you to the newest member of the Justice League: My daughter: Supergirl.”[/color] And with the strength of the Man of Steel he started a round of applause.

Lara looked around, slightly smirking, yet also realizing the grim truth: This was the point of no return. She would never again feel like she used to.
No matter how high she flew and reached up, she would never again be able to feel normal.
