During the last few months the dreams or, rather, the girl's nightmares had become increasingly stronger and much more continuous, which was beginning to disturb them, as they still didn't know how much could be based on reality. It was too obvious that there was information that escaped the child's understanding, like the existence of such a green element that could harm her mother. This fact had generated anxiety for the child, since she did not want to be alone anywhere, without them, because she claimed that those "bad" men were going to kill them.
That was why they had allowed her to stay home, after she had suffered a panic attack at the very door of the school, begging to be able to go with them, in fact, clinging to her father's shirt, refusing to let him go. However, both had to work and only she could take the little one with her, reason why, they went to CatCo.
The glances, of all who were there, were stuck in them, but, in spite of believing that the little girl was going to flee, she watched her run toward James with her arms outstretched for him to catch her, laughing out loud when he started to tickle her. She allowed the little girl to stay with him while she followed Cat Grant's directions and went way to talk to her, since she seemed worried that she would have been forced to bring the child to work and, for a moment, she thought if she should have to tell her, but the reality was that she needed to talk to someone different from those who think that they should run some test on the kid, not obliging her, but suggesting it and, in fact, she refused to use the child for those purposes.
She ended by explaining the situation, showing all her concern, giving much importance to the fact of the Kryptonite, but hoping that the one who had been her mentor, could give her some kind of advice that could guide her or at least calm her down.
"Could she know who you are?" Cat asked, making her look at her questioning, for that was something she could not answer, since she was not sure that on those visions she wasn't Supergirl. "Maybe she heard something and now she's confused," she said sitting down in front of her."Children often mix things, it may just have that importance," she explained."Has something she had dreamed been fulfilled?" Cat asked to which she shook her head.
"No, it's only CADMUS and we die," she replied. "It terrifies us, too, there is a possibility that they may hurt them, beyond what can happen to us," she explained with a lump in her throat.
"Nothing is going to happen to them, they have you as parents and you will not allow anything to happen to them," Cat tried to reassure her, but no, nothing could calm her down, or remove that feeling that they were going to take them away. "Kara, you have to talk to the little girl, try to get her to tell you some details of her dreams, but do not frighten her," she explained, to which she nodded, but it was not easy to hear her daughter telling her that, not when she knew that it could become a reality.
She settled her head on Mon-el's chest, thoughtful, unable to avoid thinking about the uncertainties they had because of the nightmares, trying to keep calm every time she listened to the four-year-old girl telling what happened, however, when she heard her trembling voice calling them both, she knew that it was time to get a better description of the dream.
They both got up to go to the girl's room, even Aiden was there, not being persuaded to go back to bed, worried about what was happening to his sister. She could tell that none of them expected to see the little shrunk on herself in tears, whispering something, which managed to freeze her blood when she realized that she was doing it in Kryptonian, at which point she looked at Mon-el.
"Kaylee, sweetie, look at me," she said as she sat down on the bed, getting her daughter to look at her with tears in her eyes. "Have you had a nightmare?" She asked, reaching out to grab her to sit on her lap. "What happened? " she whispered, hugging her tightly, watching as the child looked at her brother and her father before shaking her head. "Do you want them to leave?" She asked, seeing how the little girl nodded slightly, so she looked directly at his eyes before he nodded, grabbed Aiden's hand and went outside.
Her daughter grabbed her shirt in a fist her as she buried her head in her neck, which, honestly, broke her heart, because she did not bear to see her suffer like this, Kaylee was only four years old and it was obvious that she did not understand what was happening.
"Mommy" she looked at her surprised because, again, the little girl was speaking in kryptonian. "They were coming for us at home, you told us that we had to hide and ... we did it" Kaylee was about to cry again. "We heard you shouting and dad ... Aiden left and I followed him and when we came to the room there was blood, a lot from daddy." She watched her close her eyes. "You were on the floor, there was something green on you, you called me and whispered: everything it's going to be okay, Kay, nothing is going to happen, you're strong, I love you" the little girl spoke the language fluently.
"Did you understand me when I said that?" She asked without being sure if the child repeated what she had heard without understanding, but her breathing broke as soon as she saw her nod. "Do you know which language is?" She asked confused.
"No," the kid answered honestly to her question. "Sometimes you speak in that language in my dreams." She explained to her, so she could not help frowning, holding her against her again. "Are they coming for us?" there was so much innocet in that question, enough to make the tears escape her eyes.
"No, sweetheart, no one's going to hurt you," she whispered, trying to believe her own words, but she really could not do it. "Kaylee, try to go back to sleep, okay?" She asked her to what the little girl shook her head "I'll stay with you." She kissed her forehead as she lay her down.
She remained awake until her daughter's breathing came in, indicating that she was completely asleep, so she allowed herself to close her eyes, falling asleep.
It had been an hour since he had left this room, since he had left them together and in the silence that was now audible, he decided to enter, smiling when he saw them both. Kara was embracing Kaylee, who in turn embraced the arm of her mother and a blanket, in which she had buried her face, so she approached them, kissing their foreheads, moment at which Kara moved.
"Hey," he smiled as she opened her eyes. "You fell asleep," he said.
"I don't want to leave her alone" she whispered stroking the little girl hair. "I'm scared" Kara admitted with tears in her eyes. "She understands the Kryptonian, but she doesn't know which language is or why she knows it, all she has said is that sometimes I spoke in that language in her dreams" she tried to explain. "She's only four years old, Mon-el" right now she could not hold back her tears, for she began to cry.
"Hey, shh, calm down, nothing is going to happen to them." He wiped her tears away, but the reality was that he was holding himself back. "We're not going to allow it, I'm sure of that," he whispered, looking directly into her eyes. "Maybe it's not a bad idea to allow the DEO to participate in this, we may reach a point when we don't know how to control it" he commented watching the panic in her eyes. "I know you don't want to, I don't either, but..." Kara shook her head. "We'll talk about it, okay?" He kissed her forehead, waiting for her to fall asleep. "I love you," he whispered before leaving, closing the door behind him.
Kaylee moved in her arms, which made her open her eyes, noting that the four-year-old was rubbing her eyes before curling back and trying to fall asleep again.
"Hey, I've seen, don't fall asleep againg"she tickled her. "Are you going to school today?" she asked her watching as the little shook her head hugging her. "Sweetheart, nothing is going to happen, those bad men aren't going to find you," she tried to assure her, but the reality was that she wanted to believe her own words.
"I don't want to go," she began to cry.
She hugged the little girl wanting to calm her, not sure what to do, but decided not to pressure her, to let her stay with her at home, because today she should not go to CatCo, so she would have something to do with the child. She took her in her arms and headed for the kitchen where Mon-el was cooking, and for a moment the memories of the conversation they had had in the night made their way through her mind, knowing that he could be right in his words, but she refused.
She was aware that the DEO was not going to hurt her, that J'onn would never allow something to happen to the little girl, but for Rao, she was only four years old, she was too small to be subjected to any kind of test, especially when she was aware that the child would not understand.
"Mommy, they're coming," she heard Kaylee whisper with her face buried in her neck. "They're coming today," she murmured, moment when she could not help looking at him in fear, not knowing how much truth was in her daughter's words.
Hi!
