Every day that agent brought in something different for J'onn to eat never understanding why she was doing this. He couldn't understand half the time what she was saying but slowly he started to learn new words. Odd ones here and there not enough to actually make a conversation but enough to have a small grasp on what she was saying.

Also she would act it out she never seemed to really smile but she didn't throw disgusted looks at him anymore. They never talked really she would always leave straight away, he didn't know why but not knowing of their culture he didn't ask.

Alex was starting to enjoy these small visits they never talked but she was learning a new dead language this alien would confirm words after saying them in his own native tongue. She wrote down every word practising them so they sounded like his did.

She kept telling herself that this was harmless only scientific interest nothing more since she shouldn't like him nor talk to him. She shouldn't even be writing this down but she was curious always had been. That's what made her such a good scientist.

One thing she didn't understand was the murmuring he always done before even touching the food. Was it some prayer? Did he even have a religion? Did he believe a God? Alex wasn't known for her shyness but in this matter she couldn't seem to bring herself to ask him.

Hell, she didn't even know his name. What was his name? She had no idea it could be Fredrick for all she knew.

The next day she brought in some food but to her surprise the alien looked rather uncomfortable not even touching the food. Wondering if she had offended him in some way she tried to speak to him.

"You can eat. It's safe." She used words she knew he understood but to her surprise he looked even more awkward

"I can't eat. It's night of death." He spoke slowly obviously trying to find the right words

"Oh. Is that a special time?" Alex asked seeing the faintest understanding she tried to think of something to help her communicate with him. Deciding that if she talked slowly and carefully she might get through.

"Is that a…" She trailed of trying to think suddenly remembering her note book pulling it out she unlocked it and scrambled through her notes trying to find something that would help their understanding.

Suddenly finding a word that he had used before she took a breath hoping he wouldn't mind her speaking in his language.

"Is it a r'eliguwhose thing?" She asked

He looked rather surprised at this hearing her talk in a way he could understand. Nodding knowing now what she was talking about he saw interest sparkle in her dark brown eyes. Smiling still not knowing why she was doing this he tried to explain.

"My religion had many G'souds."

"Is that like a God?" She asked scribbling his words into her note book.

"I think. It's the day of H'rommer. I can't eat." His words still weren't fluent. He didn't even know why he was telling this to an agent. A person that was keeping him locked up. But something about how she had been taking notes on his language made him wonder whether or not she was like the others he had known.

Also something hauntingly familiar kept coming back to him every time he saw her. He couldn't think of whom she reminded him of but he knew it was important something inside him was trying to tell him but he just didn't know what.

Suddenly a voice filled the room drowning out the sound of her frantic scribbling.

"Agent Danvers your needed in the control room. Repeat Agent Danvers…" She gave out a frustrated sigh getting up

"I need to go." She said slowly and to his surprise regret shimmered across her face

As she walked away he watched as she stopped turning around to look at him.

"What is your name?" She asked not understanding what she was asking she went onto say

"My name is Alex. What is your name?" Understanding that she wanted to know his n'roam he replied

"My n'roam is J'onn."
