Chapter 4
The next morning
Bonnie didn't know what to say. She had rehearsed in front of her mirror but
nothing sounded good. She left the elevator and walked straight to her desk.
She noticed another one was added not far from hers.
Mon-El : he smiled Hello, Miss Bennett.
Bonnie : she jumped a little because she didn't hear him Oh hey !
Mon-El : Are you alright ?
Bonnie : Yeah she laughed Why wouldn't I be ?
Mon-El : You look very nervous.
Bonnie : Me ? No ! I mean...It's your desk ?
Mon-El : Yes he smirked So you can see my handsome face everyday.
Bonnie : Great um...You know what ? I need coffee she walked away
The young man was amused because she was holding a cup of the black
beverage in her right hand already.
The rest of the day was quiet and it was time for him to go to the DEO. He had
to complete his yearly checkup. He greeted his father and went to see Winn.
The young genius geek had been working for the secret organisation for the last
two years. It didn't take him long to find out the truth about Mon-El after they
first met. Saying he was over the moon would be an understatement.
Winn : Hey, buddy.
Mon-El : he smiled Winn. How are you ?
Winn : I'm great. Let's check how you are.
They did a few tests before Mon-El was required to run on a treadmill.
Winn : So how's your new job ?
Mon-El : speaking without being out of breath It's great actually. Good people, stories worth telling...
Winn : Hearts to break ? he typed something on his laptop
Mon-El : he chuckled You make me look like a womanizer.
Winn : Oh c'mon, we both know girls usually throw themselves at you. You're some sort of alien magnet.
Mon-El : Touché he paused to drink some water Well there's a girl but she hasn't thrown herself at me.
Winn : Someone calls the president. We just found a woman immune to your charm ! he laughed
Mon-El : First, it's just been two days. Second, maybe she's not immune. And three, she's something I like he smiled
Winn : Tell me more about her. Start with her name.
His friend ran on the treadmill again and talked.
The next day
Mon-El : Where are we going ?
Bonnie : We need to talk.
This time I won't make a fool of myself, she thought. She didn't rehearse and
decided to just speak her mind.
Bonnie : Here is fine.
Mon-El : he fixed his glasses A closet ?
Bonnie : her cheeks got red It's not what you think !
Mon-El : Relax he placed his hands in his pockets So what is it ?
Bonnie : Look Mike...Hey I don't even know if that's your real name ! But anyway, I saw you saving that woman. You're an alien !
Mon-El : Bonnie, I don't know what you think you saw but...
Bonnie : I saw everything ! Well it happened fast so I bet my human eyes missed things but you saved this woman using superspeed.
He took his time to respond. His heart was beating faster and he felt trapped in
this closet. Winn knowing was one thing but too many people would be a
liability. On the other hand there was that look on Bonnie's face. She was full
of hope and eager to know the truth.
Mon-El : If it was fast, you can't know for sure it was me.
Bonnie : Oh if it's about your secret, I won't tell anyone. Even though it's a hell of a scoop I won't use that for a story.
Mon-El : he sighed Bonnie, it wasn't me. I'm not an alien.
Bonnie : she frowned I know what I saw. I'll let go for now but someday I will find out the truth she left the closet
He took a deep breath and balled his hands into fists angry against himself. He
punched a wall and a hole appeared. He placed a shelf to hide it and left.
