Thanks for the reviews, and please don't hate me after this chapter, may have to update a little less often currently am super busy at work and end up writing really late at night and sleeping very little.
Kara had sat on the sofa for a while not answering she looked broken, before admitting she had no idea what happened, she remembered very little but nothing about leaving the party and it was hurting her. Winn had always had a crush on her and she hated the idea of leading him on, or giving him hope that they could be more than friends. She was painfully aware that she had flirted with all the men in her life, James had brushed her away quickly, Mon-El had kissed her back. He was confusing, life was simple before he arrived in her life. Simpler was that always better?
Alex stroked her sisters' hair as she lay on the sofa
"A penny for your thoughts" she said
"I don't know Alex. I feel I messed everything up, if something happened with Winn and me, he will hate me as I don't want anything with him, he's a friend, just a friend. "she sobbed, "Why would I do that?"
"I think we both know, but you don't want to admit it to yourself" replied Alex she cos see who occupied her sisters thoughts.
Kara was too tired to work out what that meant and started dozing on the Sofa, Alex pulled a blanket over her and left her.
Mon-El had a few hours' sleep then went to the DEO, J'onn had been concerned that with Supergirl slightly out of action, there maybe more attacks. He was right, there was low level Alien trouble, as if to test out what would happen without Supergirl, not that it mattered, the combination of the odd couple managed to capture the trouble makers with very little effort.
"We will have to get you that costume you promised to let me design, if you carry this on" Winn chuckled at Mon-El dreaming about the fame of designing a superhero costume.
"I'm wearing Kara's colours, isn't that enough?" Mon-El indicated the red top he wore and the dark blue jacket, he was trying to do the right thing, but mostly wanted to live a nice normal human life. A hero was not his dream, unlike most around him,
"Dude you are not wearing jeans as a superhero" scoffed Winn insulted that Mon-El even considered not having a costume.
"Im not a superhero Winn," responded Mon-El, "I am just helping out until Kara is safe" He really wished people would accept he didn't ask for these powers.
Winn looked uncomfortable at the mention of Kara, "Look man, about Kara" Mon-El looked at him, "I know you like her, but sorry, you are fit so will find someone else". He was trying to be comforting yet came across slightly creepy.
"Kara is her own woman, she can make her choices" Mon-El dismissed Winn as he wasn't sure what he was saying. And promptly changed the subject, "Any sign of who is in charge of these attacks?"
While Winn pulled up the data on the computer, Mon-El texted Kara
"Winn just told me I was fit, what does that mean? And is it as odd as it sounds?"
"A little odd, but I need context" she replied
"Right, so we have this running and its got a program to identify any patterns or known groups"
J'onn joined them, he looked at Mon-El who was looking troubled, "What's wrong?
"Just wondering where the next attack will be, I can't fly yet, so it limits how quickly I can get there"
Winn looked delighted, "There is a pattern, I think, look here, this program should start to identify patterns and track police calls", while he chatted excitedly Mon-El replied to Kara
"Just I'm fit and will find someone else!"
"Someone else? Other than who?"
"Don't worry, You know I can never understand Winn. Billie sent me a picture from last night, I know you don't want to remember it, but you look great crop me out of the picture if you want" He sent a picture of the two of them, taken before she was drunk, he had his arms around her waist, and was stood slightly behind her, her hands rested on his, she was gazing at him with a slight smile, and glowing under all the white body paint, she still had a glow.
Alex was stood behind Kara when the picture came through
"That's a nice picture, you look happy" Said Alex, thinking how they made a nice pair but wasn't sure how Kara felt about him, her view of him had changed drastically in the last few weeks, from a shallow selfish layabout he was now an important member of the team.
"Do you think where you are from is a problem?" asked Kara, looking at the picture
"You mean your warring planets?" Alex queried
"Yes" blushed Kara ashamed this was still even an issue.
"I think if you like him you shouldn't mind if he is from Daxam or Texas or Pluto, he is who he is, I understand you have always hated his planet, but he is not what you were brought up to expect. I know it's hard to shift that view, but ignore where he is from, if he was from National City would you hesitate to be with him?" Alex was bemused that she was even considering encouraging her sister to date him
"But you don't like him" protested Kara
"I'm not the one who wants to date him" Alex chuckled. "Anyway I rather like him, he's nice lad it took a while to understand him. And Yes I said he's not good enough for you, no one ever will be my sister. You are my little sister, I want to protect you, and I know you are powerful, but, you are always my little sister" and she hugged Kara, "Tell him how you feel, if you do feel for him"
At the DEO J'onn signalled for Mon-El to join him in a side room, he spoke in hushed tones so the enhanced hearing of the Daxamite was called upon.
"Have you spoken about any of the events with anyone other than Myself and Alex?" He asked, Mon-El shook his head, "Good, limit what you say even with Winn and James, we need to set a trap, and the fewer who know the better" and with that he left
As Mon-El walked back to Winn's lab, reading his phone, Kara had texted him back
"I forgot how good you looked last night, may check out that show"
"Dude, fancy getting a drink, I need a break, reached a point that I need to step away for a bit" the computer expert looked fed up, as he clearly had reached a stalemate with his project, and the events of the night before were playing on his mind. He wanted to speak to Kara, and find out how she felt, he also was concerned by the rival for his affection. A pretty boy band wanna-be with a sob story that would melt most people's heart, not only losing his home, but his planet, his family everything. So a drink and seeing what was going on there would be good, or get the Daxamite drunk and send him home with a random, which should turn Kara towards him.
"Sure" Mon-El replied thinking that he could find out what happened for Kara, and hopefully put her mind at rest about everything, plus building his friendship with Winn would be good. He grabbed his coat and the two walked out of the building towards a little quiet human bar, they turned down a darkish alley way.
"You know I was jealous of you" stated Winn in a cold tone, " You appeared here all mysterious, handsome unknown and I hated how Kara looked at you, and I wanted to kill you, wish I had while you were asleep" Mon-El looked at him shocked at this honestly.
"And now?"
"Now I will just kill you," snarled Winn, pulling out a blade, it glowed red, and he stabbed Mon-El with it
