Nightmares

Chapter 1
It had been six months since they send the Daxamite sniper off to the Phantom Zone and things had changed quite a bit. Cat Grant was now the President's Press Secretary, and Lena had swooped in and bought CatCo. before Morgan Edge had managed to do it. Kara and Lena's relationship had returned to its old form and they were getting along great. There were a few bumps in the road as Lena started to understand being the owner of a giant media corporation but eventually things seemed to be on the right track.
Mon-El had returned to work at the bar under a new name, Matt, and he now wore glasses all the time in public. He still couldn't understand how they fooled anyone but it seemed to be working. Winn had changed his hero outfit to include a black eye mask instead of the yellow safety glasses and instead of a completely black suit; he now wore deep red pants with a navy shirt and gold belt. It was plain but enough to have people associate him with Supergirl. They had yet to work on his hero name but it wasn't a high priority since Kara tended to take all the public attention.
His powers were developing slowly, much like Kara's did as she grew up. His strength was an easy one but Mon-El couldn't fly yet. However, he could run and Kara teased him that he was like a slower version of Barry. Especially when she beat him back to the DEO on a regular basis, even though he left wherever they were fighting crime first.
They had had a long day and after dinner, the two made their way to the couch for a little TV and popcorn. The only problem was, the TV was soon forgotten and the popcorn ended up all over the floor as the couch became a make out spot. It wasn't long after that that the couch was uncomfortable and the bed seemed like a much better place.
Hours later, Kara woke up screaming. She bolted upright in bed and it took her a few moments to realize that she was safe in her own apartment. A hand was placed on her shoulder and she turned, getting a face full of Mon-El's chest. He'd bolted upright too after hearing her scream and now pulled her into his arms.
"It was just a dream," he said, trying to calm her.
"I don't know what they are anymore," she told him.
"I really think you need to have your brain checked. That's not what I meant," he tried to correct himself but at three o'clock in the morning, his brain wasn't functioning properly. As for Kara, she had been having these nightmares for the last few weeks and now they were occurring almost every night like clockwork.
"Thanks a lot," she pushed him away and gave him a look.
"You said yourself that they've morphed into something you can't explain. I mean why your mother would keep showing up in your dreams only to turn into, whatever the heck that thing is, I have no idea. Maybe it's a warning, maybe you need to stop eating pot stickers after nine at night, I don't know but what I do know is that we're not getting any sleep and neither are your downstairs neighbors," Mon-El said to her.
"Maybe it is time to have J'onn see if he can get in there and see if I'm being messed with," Kara admitted.
"That's all I'm asking. Nothing you haven't done before. Now, let's try to get some sleep. You can't keep being late to work with Lena there all the time," he pointed out. Kara groaned as he pulled her back down to the bed with him. Making sure she was covered in the blankets, the two snuggled together to get some sleep before the alarm would go off.
