She had been thrown out of the room by her own sister, so little did she trust her? Seriously, she needed to know what was happening to her sister, she really needed it, so she did not hesitate to run to Hank when she saw him appear, desperately searching for answers to all her questions.
"Alex, you have to go inside," he said.
"What's going on?" She asked, not understanding why she could not go inside.
"Nothing, she just wants Alex to come in," he replied.
"But I am her sister ..." she complained.
She watched as Alex approached her, standing in front of her, putting her hands on her shoulders before embracing her, getting her tears flowing over her shoulder, hugging her tightly, still hoping to receive answers to all her questions, but above all why her sister did not trust her to explain what was happening.
"Everything's going to be okay, okay?" She whispered, pulling her away from her. "Kara, I'm sure she's scared right now, and she doesn't want to make you nervous, that's why she prefers you out," she said, trying to calm her.
She nodded slightly without any conviction at what she had just heard her say, however, she did not want to hold her any longer, so she allowed her to leave with Hank to that room.
She sighed wanting to calm down, unable to do so, getting more and more nervous, wishing she could be in that room as well.
"Kara, sweetheart," Eliza whispered, embracing her. "Are you okay?
"No," she said in a trembling voice. "I feel dislocated," she said before continuing. "It's my sister, it hurts me that she isn't be able to trust me, to tell me." she sobbed. "Since I was a little girl I have observed her, imitated in each of her steps, I wanted to be like her ... I know her, because if I am the person I am right now it is partly thanks to her, for all she taught me," she explained through tears." It's costing me all this too, but much more if she doesn't allow me to help her. I don't understand why she can't tell me what's happening, to explain what happened today, "she sighed." There are moments when I think I don't exist for her, that Alex is more her sister than I am, "she finished.
"She trusts you more thn you think," Eliza assured her. "She wants to keep you safe, for her you are her little sister, Kara," she explained, making her look at her trying to understand where she wanted to end up. "She loves you and the only thing right now she's doing is protecting you, you can't blame her for it, "she said and hugged her again.
She ducked her head, avoiding crying again. No, she could not blame her for wanting to protect her, but right now she was the one who wanted to keep her safe, who wanted to protect her, but above all to understand her and help her.
She closed her eyes nervously without wanting to do it, not wanting to break the confidence that her sister might have in her, but, truthfully, it left her no other choice.
"I'm sorry, Kaelah," she whispered before focusing on hearing everything that they were saying in the other room.
"You can read minds" Alex shouted in fascination at what she had just heard. "I thought your powers were like Kara's, Was that what you did in Krypton? You read the prisoners' minds? Did you force them to tell the truth? "She questioned with some nervousness still amazed.
I nodded not proudly at all, wanting her to stop asking questions, but mostly to think, because the headache was increasing since I had asked her to come in.
"I don't understand, how is it possible?" She asked.
"Alex, please stop asking questions," I asked, grabbing my head. "You think too much," I said, looking at her.
"I'm sorry," she smiled coyly. "But do you listen to everything I think?"
"Everything," I replied. "And the truth is that you're starting to make me very nervous," I said, trying to calm her down, to stop thinking, even talking.
"Just one more thing, how long will it last?" She questioned, much more calmly than before.
"I don't know, I wish I did" I sighed closing my eyes
I felt a new voice come into my head, which was intermingled with Alex's thoughts, so, honestly, it was not easy to understand what the other person was thinking, however, the moment I did my heart stopped, it could not be true, Kara.
"She's listening," I whispered "Kara has heard everything," I explained, starting to cry.
This was the last way I thought she would know everything, so I could not help but think that she would hate me for hiding it, but What did she want me to do? I could not have said it to her, I was fully aware of it, maybe I would have known this way was not such a bad idea, however, who could take away the feeling I had right now, nobody, absolutely no one could tell me that I had done the right thing, for it was not true as much as I wanted to convince myself that it was.
I dried my tears trying to block my mind, not to allow myself to continue listening to their thoughts, but it was not easy, because I could not ignore the fact of knowing what she thought, even if it hurts to know the truth.
My sister was in pain with me, somehow angry, because I had not taken her into account, but no doubt she felt absolutely displaced.
I had to talk to her, finish explaining myself, tell her the whole truth.
"Can you call her?" I asked.
Alex left in search of her, returning with her, who looked at me with tears in her eyes before she shook her head, keeping her distance from me.
I tried to speak, to call her, but this situation was much more difficult than I expected, because the nervousness I had, did not allowed me to communicate.
"Kara ..." I called her in a trembling voice. "Please ..., I'm sorry" I sobbed. "I just wanted to protect you, you have ..., you have to understand" I looked at her through tears. "Please .."
"Kaelah ... I understand, but why didn't you tell me?" She asked. "They are only powers, Why wer you scared to say it? Besides, you could use them in Krypton, which is amazing," she commented smiling." Wait, that's why the kryptonite does not affect you, you're immune," she said in amazement.
I smiled at her amazment, confused for her not to mention of the trials or what I was forced to do in them, which made me rethink how much she had heard.
"Why don't you have them permanently?" She asked, approaching.
"Because if you take them to the limit, they ended up" I said in barely a whisper, getting her to raise an eyebrow. "Kara ..., I was forced to use them in the trials, I was exploited and by the time they finished ..., I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but ... I was afraid to break your childhood, everything you remembered from them," I said, crying again.
"Stop crying," she said, wiping my tears. "I think I'm going to need time to understand why they did all this to you," she said before returning to ask again. "So that's why they didn't send you to Earth, Right? Because you could not protect us."
"In part," I replied, bowing my head.
"I watched as my sister's ship left the station, becoming the last time I would see her, the last memory I would have of her before Kypton disappeared and with it, us.
I sobbed, maybe this was the best thing, but I was afraid, too, because I still did not understand what we were facing, what was going to happen when the end came, what would it feel like, if I could remember someone for the last time.
My mother grabbed my arm by pulling me to the last ship at the station, stopping me in front of her, grabbing my face with her hands, watching me.
"I can't let you go through this, Kaelah," she shook her head. "I love you and I hope you can remember that," she sighed, holding me close to her. "Take care of them, I know you can do it, do not let anyone hurt them, but above all , remember them who they are, who is their family" she said sobbing increasing the strength of the embrace.
I buried my face in her shoulder, wanting to avoid sobbing, wanting to be able to remember this all the time, trying to believe her words, each and every one of them, for the truth that I did not think I could care for them, neither, to protect them from any danger we face on that planet.
I hugged her with greater force as the tremors crept in, causing my mother to pull away from me, grabbing my face again.
"You have to get up," she whispered. "I love you, sweetie." she kissed my forehead before forcing me to climb onto that ship.
She stroked my face one last time before parting again and preparing to close the ship, but I stopped her.
"Mom, I'm sorry," I said, letting go of the tears I had contained so far.
"Shh, you're not, honey," she wiped my tears. "You deserve a life, Kaelah, remember that doesn't make you different, but special, even if you can not use it, it's always going to be a part of you. I love you, do not forget, please."
"I love you too," I said, closing it.
I sighed closing my eyes, feeling the ship begin to move, causing me to open them to look at her one last time, to swallow me the sobs that threatened to leave my throat.
I could not help but get my hands to my mouth when I saw what happened second after I left Krypton, beginning to cry hard, because at this moment everything, absolutely everything I knew had disappeared.
I was not ready for anything that was going to happen, to face everything that planet had prepared us, however, I did not have time to think about it for much longer, because when the shock wave stirred the ship, I knew I was lost"
"Have you ever flown?" She asked curiously.
"Yes, several times, in my room, until Mom thought it was a danger, but the truth is that it was a good way to calm down when you were a baby" I explained causing her laughter. "Do not laugh, it's true, you liked to see me fly"
"Why have I never been aware of your powers?" She continued to ask questions.
"Because they decided that they could be dangerous for you" I answered before adding, "I burned several furniture."
I accompanied my sister's laughter, embracing her, causing her to rest my head on her shoulder as she stroked my hair.
"What happens when your powers are gone?" She asked, brushing my hair away from my face.
"I'm weak," I replied, not wanting to explain further.
She nodded, hugging me tightly, as if she were afraid I might disappear from her side.
I could still hear the different voices in my head, however, the vision had disappeared and the beeps were lower, so I was truly grateful that this was ending.
I felt myself weakening in the arms of my sister, who grabbed me hard to keep me from falling to the ground.
"Kaelah, no, you have to be strong," she whispered in my ear, but it was too late.
The last thing I heard before finally ending up passing out was her cry, again begging me not to leave.
