I sighed, it had been seven years since that day, years in which I had remained hidden, because as much as they wanted to assure that CADMUS had fallen, well everyone knew that this was not true, that organization was still working in the shade.

I caressed the marble of the tombstone as the first tears began to trickle down my cheeks. How could I?

I was afraid of their reactions, especially his own, for I knew that my 'death' had shattered him, but this, I would destroy him.

I was fully aware that if it had not been for my mother, I would not be here, not only she had taken care of me over the last few years, but she had persuaded me to return. However, there were still so many memories about the past that it became impossible to ignore them.

FLASHBACK

I opened my eyes confused, breathing in agitation as I began to remember everything that had happened, taking my hands to my abdomen in search of the bullet wound, without finding it, looking at my surroundings. CADMUS, I still here, it had been one of their plans, I had no doubt about it, How could they be so cruel? They had made them believe that I was dead, to my brother.

I began to cry without being able to remedy it, bringing my hands to my face, trying to cover my sobs.

"Little alien, you're alive," I heard her speak, so I looked at her. "I'm sorry you had to say goodbye, but I wasn't going to let you go," she explained, stroking my face.

I looked at her in panic, frightened by what she was going to do to me before closing my eyes to hold back the tears.

"Well, sweetie, where do we start?" She asked, grabbing my chin, so I knew what was going to happen.

I clenched my fists tightly the moment I felt the needle in my neck, wanting to avoid shouting the moment she introduced it.

She cut my shirt off before picking up a scalpel and cutting off the area of my abdomen, so I restrained myself, watching her movements, noticing how she pulled out a small device.

"You know, they didn't even shoot you," she said. "We were protecting you, little alien,"

"Do they think I'm dead?" I dared to ask for her statement.

Mon-el was not going to get over it, he was not going to do it, I think we were all aware of that fact.

I took all the air I could in the moment he pulled my head out of the water, trying to breathe while I refused to respond, so she signaled again to submerge me.

I had to admit it, it was getting harder to be able to bear, but I was not going to give them the information, Why did they want it?

"Again, what are your weaknesses other than lead?" She asked, so I shook my head.

I was not going to do it, if they tried to kill all the daxamites, it would be without my help, so if she wanted to kill me she could start, I was prepared.

Again my head was drawn into the water, this time for much longer than others, which altered me, since I had to breathe.

"Are you going to answer?" She asked, getting me to look at her. "Again," she ordered.

This time I could not hold it, getting to lose balance the moment I could breathe, having to be held so I did not fall to the ground.

"Stop" it was Jeremiah's voice. "She will not take it any more, if you put her head once more in the tank, her heart will stop," he explained.

"It doesn't matter," Lillian replied.

"No, she will die," he warned, approaching me. "Let her stabilize," he said, holding me.

"Okay," she finally sighed. "Then we'll continue," she said, lifting my chin. "Rest, little alien," she whispered.

I tried to breathe normally, but it was not easy, so I could not help letting myself fall to the ground, closing my eyes, feeling as he placed his fingers on my neck before stroking my hair.

"Try to relax," he asked.

I nodded slightly in an attempt to make him understand that I was trying, but I could not, feeling as everything began to become more and more confused and distorted until I ended up losing consciousness.

I felt as they caressed my face, opening my eyes in confusion, identifying her, missing me quite a bit, for I was not quite sure how she had come here.

"Let's change the game," she said with a knife. "If you answer, nothing happens," she explained. "Weak points?" She asked.

"I don't know" I answered sincerely feeling her cutting in my arm. "I'm saying the truth, I don't know" I could not help sobbing about it.

"Are you sure?," she questioned, getting me to nod. "Okay, I believe you, why?" She grabbed my chin.

"I've never been interested in my culture, I don't know anything about it," I explained through tears watching as she threatened to make a new cut. "No ... please ..." I pleaded, but she did.

"How do we get into the ship?" She asked.

"Are you going to kill my mother?" I asked altered, I might not get along with her, but I could not let them do it.

"No, I just want to get inside, how?" She asked.

"Teleportation," I replied in a whisper.

"Well, you learn fast," she smiled, stroking my face. "I'm going to leave it here," she said as several guards approached. "Take her away," she ordered, so they grabbed me, practically dragging me down a corridor to the cell.

They threw me inside making me shrink over myself because of the pain, sobbing as I lay on the bed.

I wanted to get out of here, to see my brother, to tell him that I was alive, for him to promise me that everything would be all right, but how could I reach him? Them? Yes, I missed Kara too. I could not deny it, I needed them, but above all I needed to assure them that I was alive, to keep them from believing that.

This did not end here, I was certain that this interrogation was going to continue until she got what she wanted.

I closed my eyes still in tears, crying until I fell asleep, not wanting to re-think about what would happen tomorrow.

The next one will be in the past as well, thanks for reading,
