"Why?" was Mya's next question when she blocked her from going to that room, because she wanted to talk to her alone before letting her in. "What are you hiding?" she asked, it was difficult to hide something from the teenager, but she did not answer, just grabbed her hand to introduce inside, believing that she was going to run to the window of the cell, however, Mya stood, looking at him while the tears began to slide down her cheeks.
She saw her move slowly to the window, from where her brother watched her curiously, as if he were not expecting that kind of reaction from the child, who ended up placing her hand on the glass while trying to control her tears, waiting for Mon-el to place his on the other side before turning.
"Can we open it?" the question was whispered, but clear enough and, for a moment, she went to deny it, but she could not, not to Mya, not in those moments, so she came to open the door, to allow it happen.
Neither of them had time to react, since the younger girl hugged her brother between sobs, doing so, that Mon-el tried to calm her down, but it was not possible at this time, since she only calmed down when the tears gave way to tired, seeing her resting her head on her brother's chest, who grabbed her tightly when he felt her vanish, and, the truth is that Mya had not slept for nights, it was normal for her to fall exhausted.
"She has fallen asleep," she heard him whisper without taking his eyes off her.
"She hasn't slept for nights, she feels safe, she needed to rest," she explained. "If I take her, she's going to wake up," she said, watching him sit with his sister in his arms on the bed, keeping her close to his chest.
"How has she been these months?" he asked stroking the girl's face.
"Not good and, believe me, I didn't want to tell her that you were here, but I couldn't hide it from her," she answered, lowering her head. "Mon-el, I don't want her to know what you've done, or why you're here locked up." she looking directly into his eyes. "I don't want to cause her more pain and I intend to prevent you from doing it" she assured.
Mon-el only looked at her for a few seconds before directing that look towards his sister caressing her hair, daring to kiss her forehead while the tears were present.
"Thanks for taking care of her" she heard him whisper. "Mya is the only good thing that I have from my famil" he commented to what she looked at him knowing that it was true, that this girl was the only good thing that he had from Daxam.
However, the tranquility was soon broken by the agitated breathing of the young girl, who had begun to breathe with difficulties, which altered her, because she knew what that meant and it was something that Mya was not going to like, but it was what happened when the medication was skipped.
"What's happening?" he asked concerned about the status of his little sister.
"I need to take her to the infirmary" she whispered trying to hold her. "I'm sorry, I'll come back when I know something" she looked at him one last time, observing his worry, before leaving definitively.
When Kara came back, it was well into the morning, with a radiant smile on her face as she opened the door that separated them both. However, they did not have time for any kind of reunion, moreover, she seemed to avoid him, as she only guided him to where his little sister was, who was lying on her left side while playing with Winn, which seemed to distract her enough not to flinch because of the needles that Alex injected into her back.
"You lose again" Mya laughed at the same time that Winn tried to look offended, although the laughter gave way to seriousness, as Kara passed him to stand next to his sister and hols her hand, watching fear in the eyes of his sister.
"Are you ready?" asked Alex making Mya nod. "Let's do it, okay?" She whispered beginning to inject the next needle, noticing how his sister tried to shrink over herself, making Kara to grab her to prevent it. "That's it, Mya." She stroked her hair before tucking her in with the blanket and a blanket. "It's going to stun her a little, the usual" she looked at Kara, who nodded shortly before her older sister walk away.
"We'll have to play the rematch, right?" Winn smiled making the young girl nod before pointing that she was going to beat him again, which made them all laugh.
He noticed how Kara gave her the stuffed animal that he had given her for his eleventh birthday, which made his sister hug it tightly, burying her face while closing his eyes. However, both were surprised by the voice of the child, who opened her eyes in his search.
"How did you know I was a daxtonian?" she asked in a whisper.
"Because Father told me shortly before Krypton exploded" he answered brushing the hair away from her face. "When I gave Kara permission to press the button, I knew that you were going to survive, maybe not in the same conditions, but you were going to do it," he explained, noting how she was nodding before looking away.
"There is a possibility that my mother is alive" he heard her whisper, which surprised him, because he didn't know that. "She was at Fort Rozz, she arrived with Kara's pod" she looked at him again.
"Do you know where she is?" he asked, receiving a denial from his sister.
He stroked the younger girl's hair until she finally closed her eyes, falling deeply asleep.
I looked at everyone with some curiosity about what was happening, keeping my eyes on him before looking at the girl lying on the stretcher, waiting for my brother to be able to answer some of the questions that had just been asked, but he did not, he just shook his head.
"Who is she?" Kara asked getting her to look at her.
"Her name is Imra," he said finally. "She's from Titan," he explained, causing me to look at him, Was there life on Saturn?"
He did not say anything else, leaving the infirmary, making Kara move behind him and, although I also wanted to, I could not, sitting on the stretcher while waiting for some indication from Alex, because it was her who had to decide if I could leave or not.
"You want to go out, right?" She looked at me approaching, making me nod. "You're fine, but I need you to come back a later" she commented to which I nodded slightly.
I got up to leave, observing how they talked to each other, but noticing how my brother avoided contact with her, a fact that continued to surprise me, because he was not like that, not with Kara.
I sighed, maybe I should stay on the sidelines and give them their space to talk,so I turned to go to the control, where they continued investigating the ship in which we had found them, but I could not help but turn around the moment I saw that girl move forward to them. I put my hands to my mouth when I saw her kiss him and how Kara struggled to keep from crying as a result of the scene, so, again, I approached them.
"Kara, she is Imra Ardeen, my wife" he presented her surprising us both "She is Kara Danvers, Supergirl" he pointed to her as she tried to smile.
"No ... I can't believe it's you" said Imra excited about the discovery.
"When ... when were you going to say it?" I asked placing myself in front of him. "I understand that it would be harder to tell Kara, but to me ..., I'm your sister" I looked him directly in the eyes at the same time that he was grabbing my shoulders.
"Mya ..." he lifted my chin when he noticed that I wasn't looking at him. "You are closer to Kara ..." I had to interrupt him.
"Of course I am, she's my cousin and the person who has taken care of me during these last seven months" I looked him straight in the eyes while he shook his head. "I understand that you have changed, that your life has done it, although I ignore the reasons, but I believed that the confidence we had in each other still existed, I see that I was wrong," I commented with tears in my eyes before separating from him and approaching Kara. "We should go inside, Alex wants to run some more test" I whispered observing how she nodded slightly beginning to walk, feeling the look of my brother put on us, but I did not bother to turn around.
I hugged her, trying to comfort her, but the reality is that Kara just hugged me as if she needed someone to do it, without even starting to cry, which surprised me, for the truth was that I had expected a truer reaction, although I was aware that she was holding herself back.
We went to the infirmary, sitting on the stretcher before Alex arrived, because by the time she did, the questions about what had happened did not wait, it was obvious that Kara was not well and, although I tried to pretend, I was not either.
"There is something I don't like" I heard Alex comment at the time she returned with the results of the analysis. "Do you breathe well?" she asked me.
"Not as good as I did before," I whispered honestly, watching as she looked at me with concern. "Isn't it because I skipped the medication?" I questioned, noting how she shook her head.
"It's not" she answered. "The lead is adhering more and more to your cells, I don't know why" she explained. "I need you to stay here, I have to control you" she commented while I nodded. "Kara, Can I speak with you?" She asked, leaving both of them outside.
I sighed, I was aware that this was the beginning of everything that remained to happen.
