I don’t own the Batman - Dark Knight Trilogy or Supergirl. That belongs to it’s rightful creators.

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
Instead of Kara’s pod getting knocked off course, it was Ka-el’s.
Kara came to earth 10 years before her cousin, and was found in Gotham Bay by Alfred Pennyworth. She grew up beside Bruce Wayne.
How would this change the story?
Could she save Rachel?
Could she save Harvy?
Would she be the one to finally slap Bruce awake from his pity party?

~ Bruce Wayne
“What don’t I get. I get, that Gotham doesn't need Batman anymore. I get, that it isn’t Gotham that needs Batman! IT’S YOU! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS BATMAN!”

“Your Rachel’s friend, right?”
~ Harvey Dent
“No. I’m her best friend. We’re practically sisters. So if you ever hurt her, remember this. The Wayne lands are waste and wide. People could search for years there, and they would never find even a trace of your body.”
~ Kara Pennyworth
“Huh…”
~ Harvey Dent
“So. Does everyone know what they want?”
~ Kara Pennyworth

“Bruce Wayne. If you break my granddaughters heart. I will never forgive you.”
~ Alfred Pennyworth
“Huh...”
~ Bruce Wayne
“Lovely day isn’t it Master Bruce. Would you like to have some tea on the patio today?”
~ Alfred Pennyworth
“So that’s who she gets that from.”
~ Bruce Wayne

“No. NO! RACHEL! DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES! STAY AWAKE! STAY AWAKE RACHEL! RACHEL!”

“It’s my fault. If only there a little sooner.”

“She’s alive thanks to you.”

“Harvey! It’s my fault. I was too slow. If you're gonna punish someone. Punish me.”
~ kara Pennyworth.
“Your right. You should be the one I punish. But I can't kill you. But you know what I can do. I can give you a worse punishment. I can give you the same punishment he gave me. Hurting the person you care about right in front of you.”
~ Harvey Dent

"I want to let you in on a secret. I'm not who you think I am. In fact my disguise is so thin, I'm surprised you haven't seen right through me. I'm the girl of your dreams, masquerading as your best friend. Sometimes I wanna just wanna rip off this facade. But I can't. Because then, you'll hate me. So I decide that it's better to live a lie than expose my true feelings."

“In the back of my closet, high upon the shelf, there sits an old love letter that I keep to myself. Its pages are crumpled, the edges a tad bit torn. I can recite the words by memory, although the writings are worn. It tells of my undying love, and how we were meant to be. Our vows whispered at the church, they were my fantasy. Like all things, neither tried nor true, we had to be apart. A victim of the ages, you broke my heart.”
~ Kara Pennyworth

“I TRIED! I tried to pour my heart out to you two times. The first time, you mumbled Rachel’s name. And the second, you were just drunk. I guess it’s my fault. I had a knack for shitty timing. But it’s not my fault you were blind. Blind to my feelings.”

Love Letter
By Rhoda Tripp
In the back of my closet,
high upon the shelf,
there sits an old love letter
that I keep to myself.
Its pages are crumpled,
the edges a tad bit torn.
I can recite his words by memory,
although the writings worn.
He tells of his undying love,
and how we were meant to be.
Our vows whispered at the church,
they were our fantasy.
Like all things, neither tried nor true,
we had to be apart.
A victim of the ages,
He broke my sixth grade heart.
