Monel POV:
The girl lay quietly in her bed. The last two hours had been a blur of tests, instructions and running back and forth between the room the girl was currently in and Alex's lab. Alex, in her natural habitat, ran tests upon tests pf the girl with the little they could use. The stranger's skin was not penetrable by a knife or needles and her looks did not give any specie definition. Using only a hair sample, Alex was busy at work figuring out who and what this girl was.
As for Kara, after delivering the stranger back to the DEO way ahead of me, she now paced the room back and forth, her usual scowl on her face, placed whenever she was confused or unsure, her hands on her hips, as if ready to take on the world.
It was hard for me to look at her, after 7 years it was never a possibility for us to meet again, and yet, here we were. A part of me wanted to go to her, to hug her, to tell her everything was okay. I wanted to laugh with her again and watch old musicals, I wanted to go over to her apartment and just lie with her whilst she slept and watch her in her peaceful state. A part of me wanted to somehow go back 7 years and just live the life I always wanted with her. That part of me, was almost all of me.
But I couldn't, I had Imra, I had a life which had nothing to do with Kara. I've lived in a different place and loved a different girl, and I do truly love Imra, I don't question that. But I also love Kara, no matter how much I've changed. Kara had taught me to be a good person, and I am and have been for the last 7 years and part of that is due to Imra. Most of that is due to Imra.
I remember arriving on Earth in the 31st century, Imra had been my nurse, the one who cured me from lead poisoning. She was kind and friendly to me, inviting me into her life for I had no one. She loved me as a friend way before she loved me as a boyfriend, I owe her everything and love her with everything.
"Nothing." Alex whispered. Kara stopped pacing and made her way over to her sister, placing a hand on her shoulder. "There is absolutely nothing in her DNA which suggests she is not from earth. She has the right cell counts and blood levels, her body accepts this world's air. And yet there seems to be so many things that suggest she is not from earth." Alex held up a diagram. "Her body absorbs the sun rays even faster than Kryptonite's, her potassium levels are through the roof and her cell walls are encased with a geo-substance I have never seen before."
"But that's impossible." Kara stated, walking over to the golden haired girl. "One can't be both. And you should have seen the girl in the desert, she was withstanding some serious power. How can we not know of her species?"
"Not all species in the universe are identified." Called a voice from the doorway. Jonn entered with Winn in tow. "She could be of a new species, or of a forgotten one."
"But she has the same physical complication as humans," I said, swinging my chair round to face the group, "there aren't that many species which can do that."
"Maybe a shapeshifter?" From Winn, as usual he was playing around with a tablet in his hand.
"No, I would have been able to detect that from my hair tests." Answered Alex. "She's something else."
Before we could ponder on the subject at hand, Winn's device released a small buzzing sound, bringing our attention to him.
"Oh, guys, we have a bogie." He said in an excited voice as he fiddled with his tablet. "Down on 21st street, unidentified alien wreaking havoc on civilians. Seems to have the same physical composition as cattle. Cows and bulls and stuff. Oh, this guy is nasty, very big, and very strong. Um… OH! He just took out a phone box, now why would he do that?"
"Supergirl, Agent Mon el, this one is on you. I want this sorted and stopped immediately. We can worry about the girl later." Jonn stated as he stormed out the room, Alex and Winn in tow.
I looked over at the sleeping girl before my gaze led me to Kara. The look was back, the look that says let's take on the world. But another look was mingled with it, a look of disdain and being uncomfortable, and a look of sadness. I realised that look was because of me.
"Okay, alright. Let's move out." She said, masking her face as she made her way to the door. I watched her for a moment, the power and strength behind her steps.
"Okay." I whispered, looking at the girl one more time. "I guess I'm now authorized for field work."
As I began to move towards the doorway, I didn't notice that the girl's eyes were beginning to open.
