Again thanks for the reviews they make writing much easier.
I had a bit of writers block with this chapter, but know where it is going now, I will get them together very soon don't panic, but in real CW mode I need a few more misunderstandings
It had over a week since Mon-El had moved in to his flat, Winn had called "Rain Check" on their night of Xbox, which made Mon-El relieved as he had no idea what it meant. He had started Uni, and was settling in, making some friends of a similar age to him, who were helping him to settle in and catch up. It wasn't bad he only missed the first few weeks, University was great in allowing him to learn modern culture and meet new people. His Daxamite physiology prevented him from getting drunk at the student bars, which he found ironically a benefit as he was still learning about controlling his powers.
He still carried on his evening Psychology course which he found really interesting, and he enjoyed the company of the group, learning about the different people on the planet was really enjoyable for him. The young wide eyed and excited university students, the older more jaded adult learners. He liked to visit the pub to watch the football with Steve after class, find out about the families and those important to them. Martha brought him cookies she wanted to feed him up. He felt less lonely, all these people around him, all these people with tales of heart ache they had lost so much, yet he could never open up to anyone, who could understand he was from Daxam and not from Earth like they just assumed.
There were women who clearly took a liking to him, and it took a lot of his effort to remember that he was no longer on Daxam, so behaviour that was acceptable there was not on Earth. He avoided being alone with any of the women after one jumped on him and kissed him after a lunch together. It had shocked him, he reacted by pushing her away and told her he was seeing someone, he knew it wasn't true but he didn't really want to be with someone just yet, and that felt wrong.
Then he bumped into Kara, it was Thursdays night, he was working at the DEO, J'onn had called him into look at some alien technology and he was sat in the briefing room working on his course work, listening to some music that Daniel from Uni had suggested, when she walked in, his heart missed a beat. He knew that he felt strongly for her, but time apart had been what they both needed, after falling asleep together he gave her space, not all was intended, some was because of the changes, settling into his new course, and flat.
Kara wasn't expecting to see Mon-El, she had been busy at CatCo and was trying to put space between them because Winn had been teasing her. She stopped as she walked through the door, he hadn't noticed her, she toyed with the idea of walking back out of the room, but then he looked up and her heart did a flip.
"Hi" He grinned, taking his ear phones out
"H-h-hi" she replied
"How are you?" He asked, "It feels like it's been ages since I saw you"
"I'm good" she beamed moving to sit near him, "Sorry been busy, was meaning to text you"
"I'm equally to blame" He admitted, "has been hectic, but should be calmer now"
"Hectic?" she asked then reminded herself, "University, how is that?"
"Great," He beamed, "I can't thank people enough for the opportunity. To start again on an Alien world and to have support to get a second chance," his eyes watered slightly, "University is a bit like being on Daxam"
She laughed it would make sense, the parties and fun would remind him of home, "I'm glad you fit in well, I'm guessing you are not lacking for female company" there was a hint of jealousy in her voice, he clearly picked up on it
"I'm hard to resist" grinning, "But we both know that I'm not interested in random women" he moved to brush a strand of her hair from her face, and they looked at each other, breathing heavily. J'onn's heavy footsteps startled them to move apart, Kara jumped so much she moved to the other side of the room.
J'onn walked in, he was holding a weapon in his hand and looked puzzled, it had been a long day and he needed some answers, he dropped the weapon on the desk in front of Mon-El, "so any idea what this is?"
Kara watched bemused as Mon-El gleefully looked over the weapon, and announced it was nothing more than a child's toy from his home world, not dangerous, the power was low. J'onn looked pleased and took it away to study the power source.
"So!" exclaimed Mon-El
"So" repeated Kara
"We haven't seen each other for a while, fancy joining me at a party tomorrow?"
"Party? What type?"
"At university there is a Halloween costume party, I think I need your help to not get it wrong," he smiled
"Costume?" she indicated to her current Supergirl outfit, "will this do"
He laughed, "It's up to you, you know Halloween better than me!"
"Well then…" she started
Alex walked into the room, "There you are, we need you to check out reports of some alien/human violence reported to us" she looked back and forward to the two of them sizing them up, never sure how her sister felt about him. Some days she expected them to announce they had been dating for months, the next she wanted to keep them in rooms apart for fear they would kill each other.
"Coming" Kara stated, and ushered her sister out of the room, mouthing at Mon-El "Text me"
Out of ear shot from his super hearing Alex decided to ask her sister a few questions
"So how are things going with Mark?" her tone was hasher than she intended
"Mark?" questioned Kara, then remembered that she was meant to be dating someone called Mark, "Oh that fizzled out, just didn't feel right" Alex nodded, took a deep breath
"Is anything going on between you and Mon-El?" Kara opened her mouth to answer "Dobt be cross but Winn told me you slept at Mon-El's flat in his bed the other night, I had to push him to get that information out of him, Mon-El seems very concerned with your approval, and the looks youtwo give each other"
Kara smiled then laughed, "Mon-El! Mon-El! He's just a friend, and yes I slept at his house, it was late, I fell asleep" Kara was very defensive
"Ok" Replied Alex, "Just know you can do better, I like the lad, but he's new to here and he's not good enough for you"
"He's ok" defended Kara, Alex smiled to herself, "He's not that bad just learning about this world"
"Kara," Alex grabbed Kara's shoulder and looked at her "Please be careful, he's not the settling down type, and you my sister are not the one night stand type, that boy will break your heart, and I don't think he will mean to, but he will"
Kara gave her sister a stony glare, "Just as well that he and I are only friends" she lied "And that is all he and I will ever be"
Around the corner Mon-El was listening to this, his heart sank
