A week ago, Bleeding Cool repeated a story told on social media about Mary, a comic store worker in Fort Wayne, Indiana and a new customer looking for Supergirl comics, the day after the Supergirl TV show that saw Supergirl's sister Alex Danvers get together with Maggie Sawyer.

And who was struggling with her sexuality.

I tell her that it was hard for me when I wanted to come out too. She finally stops crying and asks me if it gets easier. — Mary (@sapphicgeek) December 3, 2016

And how the Supergirl TV series was a cathartic moment for her.

She didn't want to die anymore. For the first time, she didn't want to die because she got to see Alex be amazing and be queer. — Mary (@sapphicgeek) December 3, 2016

And she ended up buying her a number of gay-related comic books.

So, I'm out 60 bucks and I cried in the bathroom for an hour but it was damn worth it. — Mary (@sapphicgeek) December 3, 2016

It touched many hearts, including the actors themselves.

Now this is very cool. Much love to @sapphicgeek and this sweet brave girl ❤️ https://t.co/dfHQ5NGL41 — Floriana Lima (@florianalima) December 4, 2016

Well, it looked like DC Comics got in touch with a letter.

And sent a few items to go with it.

A big thank you to @DCComics for sending this amazing package. It warmed my heart and I can't wait to share it with her. pic.twitter.com/uliEzkVsVy — Mary (@sapphicgeek) December 20, 2016

Look it's nothing, okay? I just got something in my eye…
