Answer: cousins

In the opening sequence of the pilot Kara's Kryptonian parents told her she was headed to Earth where she would need to protect her baby cousin Kal-El.

Once on Earth, Kara, a teenager, was placed with the Danvers family to be raised. Much like Kal had been adopted by the Kent family.

Answer: 13 years old
