Nights were still hard when Supergirl was alone with her memories. Sometimes she’d have nightmares of cute little green monsters scampering around, or planets exploding. Morning couldn’t come fast enough.

When the sunlight finally peered through her window to awaken her, Supergirl smiled. Its warmth felt like a hug as it gave her strength and renewed her spirit to face the day. She made it her mission to brighten up and be as helpful as possible to as many people, animals, and aliens as she could. This included Granny, who, once she was taught the proper steps, excelled at doing the chicken dance, albeit with the help of her cane.

“So,” Granny Goodness said after she finished clucking. She sat behind her crowded desk as Supergirl sank into a couch so plush that she felt like she was being wrapped in clouds. “You’ve two more strength tests coming up. Are you ready?”

Supergirl shook her head. Sure, she’d been working with Babs, and that had been going sort of well. But something always messed her up in the end.

“Maybe I need new shoes or something,” Supergirl said meekly, recalling what Coach Garrick had told her. “I know I’m strong enough, and fast enough. But I don’t think I’m good enough.”

Granny absentmindedly toyed with a snow globe of the solar system, shaking it up so all the planets had unaligned. “I think it’s all in your mind, Supergirl,” she said thoughtfully.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean,” Granny explained, “you’re talented enough and have what it takes, but the thing that’s stopping you is you. Perhaps there are things that are bothering you?”

Supergirl thought about this. Could Granny be right? No, she decided. She was just a mess. No one would argue with that. But then again, all those nights staying up, worrying about things she couldn’t control…things she couldn’t forget. Principal Waller had set up several sessions with Dr. Arkham, the school counselor, when she’d first arrived. And Wonder Woman had said that he was great and had helped her. But Supergirl just couldn’t bring herself to talk to a stranger about her deepest, darkest fears and worries.

“Cookie?” Granny asked, shaking Supergirl out of her thoughts.
