Synopsis for "Acceptance"

While contemplating her life, Supergirl takes notice of a skirmish in downtown Metropolis. Livewire is tearing up the streets in the hopes of having a confrontation with Superman. Supergirl flies down, tears open a water line and aims it at Livewire, knocking her out.

She then has a brief conversation with Batman, but is still trying to come to terms with her Kryptonian heritage. She knows that her cousin Superman was educated on Kryptonian culture by way of the Sunstone crystals that his father Jor-El left to him. She flies off to Antarctica to unearth her own Kryptonian vessel, in the hopes that her own father may have left a similar legacy for her.

Finding nothing, she then goes to the Fortress of Solitude and activates one of the many Sunstone crystals. A holographic image of Jor-El appears and begins speaking. His words are intended for Kal-El, but he mentions how Kara will be the last one to maintain any real memories of the planet Krypton.

Kara then uses the portal access device she recently acquired from a Green Lantern and opens an aperture to the place where Krypton used to be. She stares into the emptiness of space, longing to find something familiar.

Notes

• This issue is reprinted in the Supergirl: Way of the World trade paperback.

• The tagline for this issue is, "Does Jor-El Hold the Key to Krypton's Past?"

• Supergirl acquired the portal access device in Supergirl (Volume 5) #23.

• Livewire appeared last in Flash (Volume 2) #237.

• Includes flashbacks of when Kal-El was an infant. Issue reveals that Kara used to babysit Kal-El in the days leading up to Krypton's destruction.

• Jor-El appears in flashback and as a holographic image in this issue.

• Once again, this issue illustrates the recurring discrepency regarding the exact location of the Fortress of Solitude. Some issues indicate that it is located in Antarctica, others identify it's location near the North Pole.

Trivia

• The Kents apparently have problems when it comes to mending fences. Jonathan Kent is seen once again repairing the fence on the Kent farm. This task occurs with moderate regularity in the DC Universe.
