It was the middle of the night. Kara was in bed trying to sleep. She had a long day. Hank Henshaw, the real Hank, who was part cyborg, that still confused her showed up at the DEO. Everyone was ok. She was thrown around a bit and things were tossed about the place than he left after…. J'onn turned into a White Martian, which is not alright seeing as how he was a Green Martian. And on top of that, she knew that that was not the last time they were going to see Hank. Then on top of that J'onn also left after Hank and no one has seen him since.
After about an hour of a failed attempt at sleep, she got up and walked over to her kitchen. She grabbed a cup and filled it with milk. After using her heat vision to heat up the milk she poured in some hot cocoa powder then mixed it up. She walked over to the window and moved her rack of clothes so she could look out the window at her city.
National city, the place she has called home for most of her life. It's so relaxing to look out the window when she can't sleep.
A knock on her door drew her from her thoughts. She walked towards the door putting her cup on the table. Kara opened the door and say Mon-El standing there with his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"Mon-El? What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night."
"I can't sleep. Thought I would see if you were awake as well" She nods and steps aside.
"Ya come on in" He walks in and Kara shuts the door.
"What's going on are you alright?" Mon-El is silent for a few moments.
"I've been thinking a lot. Ever since I came here I've been wanting to go home. I know I can't. That my home is gone but I have been watching you Kara and you have been teaching me that this planet, Earth can become my home like it has become for you. That I can have a family here, that I can have people that care about me who I also care about." When he said that last part he looked at her and took a step towards her.
"Yes, I know that it is hard to adjust to a new world that has different customs when you know no one, trust me try being a kid when that happens." She pushes her hair behind her ear.
"But once you find even one person to care about. Just one per-"
All of a sudden Mon-El took a step forward and cut her off but kissing her on the lips. Kara was shocked at first but closed her eyes and relaxed into the kiss. Mon-El pulled away and looked into her blue eyes.
"It's you Kara. You're the one that I have found I care about. You always care about me no matter what I've done. With everything I have been through on this planet, you have been there. Everything I have learned on this planet. I learned it from you."
Kara looked down. Then back at Mon-El.
"Wow…Um Wow. Mon-El I had no idea that you um…Wow"
"Is that all you have to say 'Wow'" Kara shakes her head a little trying to muster up and words that aren't 'Wow'. She had no idea that Mon-El had these feelings for her. She had caught him staring at her at some moments but she thought nothing of it. Did she like him? When Cadmus had them there was a moment. A small moment when they were talking that she wanted him to take her hand because she was scared that she would never see her family again. She looked up into his brown eyes, took a step and gave him a kiss.
