Mae
As Linda lay dying again in Eden, Linda asked Mae to merge with Twilight, their sad old enemy, instead of rejoining with Linda again, in spite of Mae asking to reunite.
Linda didn’t thank Mae for saving her or tell her how much she meant to her as Supergirl even before they merged. When they were one, their thoughts and memories were one—there was never any need for communication and they simply understood the other. In spite of seeing the other’s worst insecurities and ugly history, they saw the best in each other and fought to bring it out.
It always angered Linda when people would try to deny the existence of Mae’s soul simply because she was a protoplasm—an artificially-created, shape-shifting being. Poor Mae was always so sensitive to how some jerks saw her as a tool or as Lex Luthor’s gullible ex-girlfriend, but she would still lend a hand to help them out.
Mae didn’t object to Linda’s request in Eden or ask for a better goodbye, but obeyed it quietly.
Deep down, Linda feared she hurt Mae with their parting.
The Stream of Chaos was something else that made itself a part of Linda—and, perhaps like Mae, it was still a part of Linda. When it filled her for a while as she first set out to look for Mae, at least, she didn’t notice the emptiness. Linda didn’t realize at first how much she missed having Mae around. As the years progressed, she slowly realized how much she had truly lost and noticed how it felt like a huge part of her was missing.
Linda always looked up in the skies for white-haired Twilight and Mae. She’d asked Comet—also Andy—and Blithe, the other earthborn angels, when they dropped by Leesburg, if they’d seen Twilight and Mae. The answer was always the same. The earthborn angel of flame hadn’t reported for duty yet.
Linda couldn’t dare see Ma and Pa and tell them about how she let Mae go like that. She knew in her heart that they would forgive her, they who loved her welcomed her as their own daughter when her own parents screamed at her after she first merged with Mae, but…
Linda wasn’t ready to be forgiven for how she treated Mae yet.
