It's been a long time
Supergirl recalls Mon-el's eyes, so brilliantly blue. His laughter so beautiful. All of it cut short.
He's been gone for seven years. Supergirl had become her own person, she had continued to live.
She sipped her coffee and watched the sunrise. Her heart however was dead. Then why did she feel hope? She shook her head and went inside.
"Miss Grant," she said, "what do you need?"
Cat frowned, "a hot cortado and an excellent assistant!"
Tess Mucker was in hiding, Supergirl could hear her shuffling in the closet. Supergirl passed Miss Grant the second coffee she had been holding. She was good at this, but it didn't bring her joy anymore.
Later that day:
"Kara!" his voice was as familiar now as the second he'd gone forever.
Supergirl looked toward her kitchen where a wormhole was opening.
"How?" A now unconscious Mon-el fell out of it and Kara ran to him.
"No, no, no! You just came back, I can't lose you again!" She willed him to open his eyes and let her see them. 'Please.'
The D.E.O. burst through her front door and she nearly pushed them away. She controlled her rolling emotions and backed up so they could take him. They would know better what to do. She followed quickly after them.
"Please Jesus, I don't want him to die." Flying after them in her Kara Danvers clothes she hoped no one saw her. The speed they were travelling it was unlikely.
Weeks passed in a breathe. So much like the first time he fell to earth. Unresponsive and a complete mystery he just lays there. Where has he been all this time? How is he still alive? She'd thought the worst. Thought the pod had cut out in space and he'd died completely alone.
"I want him back." Her blonde hair hangs dark and unwashed and she stays by his side. Day after day she prays for him to come back to her. "Please Jesus, give us a second chance." She wears the sweater he'd had on and waits, burying her nose in the collar.
Mon-el stirs, seems to remember what had been happening before he blacked out and bolts upright. Kara tears up and waits, have things changed? He strokes her face. Their lips meet.
For the first time in seven years? No. They kiss every night in their dreams.
