Summary
The creation of HOPE saves Lena.
It saves her from plunging over the edge into complete darkness; it saves her the trouble of tracking down the real Supergirl and giving her a fist to the face that would undoubtedly hurt Lena more than her, and it gives Lena an outlet for all of the seething, acidic misery that coils like a parasite in her chest and leeches her of her emotional fortitude.
HOPE gives her a companion, however much an AI can stand in for human connection.Lena relies on HOPE. Perhaps a little too much.

Summary
“What’s your real name?” Lena whispers.
“My name,” Supergirl says, shaking and fragmented like the words are splintering as soon as they pass her lips, “is Kara Zor-El. You-- you know me,” she clutches to herself to keep upright, barely able to trace the outline of Lena through the blood and tears that blur her vision and then streak freely down her cheeks, “as Kara Danvers.”

Summary
It isn’t The Wizard of Oz that pierces through whatever walls Kara has placed around her heart, nor is it Singing In The Rain, or even West Side Story. No, it’s Oklahoma! that blindsides her, leaves her sobbing into her throw pillow until her voice disappears and she’s too exhausted to move to her bed.
She can’t figure out why a story set in the time of farmhands and cowboys could make her think of Lena in any way until she rewatches it.
And oh. Oh, she finally gets it now.
Kara hears the words being sung and is reminded of the fact that after everything, Lena still doesn’t have the full story.
Lena had accused her of having ulterior motives, of wanting to be close to her out of selfishness, of being too cowardly to ever take a real leap of faith. She isn’t all that wrong. Kara’s alter ego may be out in the open now for Lena to see, but that doesn’t mean Kara isn’t still hiding behind some lies.
The fact that she’s fallen in love with Lena Luthor accidentally along the way is the only secret she’s got left.
AKA, Kara watches an old movie, realizes what's been in front of her this whole time, and somehow, finds her way back to where her heart has made its home.

Summary
It’s been a month since she found out.
It’s been a month, and in that time, Lena hasn’t stopped trying to not think about it. In that time, she’s probably gone through the five stages of grief ten times over. In that time, Lena has just—stopped working. Her CPU has crashed and burned and flung itself off a fucking mountain cliff but the memory unit is somehow still intact and she just Can Not seem to forget.
And she’s tried, okay? Tried drowning herself in work, tried her luck at yoga, even ramped up her already high alcohol intake. Tried every trick in the book that would get her to stop thinking about Kar—no, she doesn’t even know a Kara anymore. About Supergirl.
(All those, even altogether, worked maybe barely.)
Or: Kara lies to Lena, Lena lies to Kara, Lena lies to herself and Kara really just wants it all to stop so she can have her Lena back.
