He felt Vega's little hands clench into fists to cling to his cape in an attempt to prevent him from leaving her there alone, which made him turn to look at her.
The big blue eyes of the little girl begged him to stay with her, tears storing in her eyes as her lower lip trembled at the edge of crying causing his heart to clench into a fist after finding fear in her eyes.
He pick her up to sit her on the stretcher before sitting next to her and wait for Alex to come for run a test to the child, who he hugged wanting to keep her as calm as possible, but it was not something simple, the little one had gone through too many things in a single day.
He sighed, kissing his daughter's hair while trying to hold back the tears. His heart was completely broken in those moments, because he was aware that Kara was fighting for her life in one of the rooms and all he wanted was for the little girl to be healthy.
"Are you tired?" he asked after noticing that she rubbed her eyes, seeing her nod. "Shh, come here" he took her holding her in his arms, allowing her to rest her head on his chest. "Try to sleep, sweetie" he kissed her forehead .
He took his time observing her, it was amazing what they had grown in these years, he had lost too much of the lives of his daughters. He was not mistaken in assuring that they were the pure reflection of Kara, if it were not because their hair was a little darker, they would be the same.
When he raised his head, Alex watched him from the door with a smile on her face, tears sliding down her cheeks, which made him look at her with concern, Kara's name was present in his mind.
"Is everything okay? Kara?" He asked helplessly.
"I'm sorry, it's just that Kara has wanted this moment so much" she pointed at them while smiling. "She is still unconscious, Hamilton is with her" she said approaching. "I need a little example of blood" she communicated by grabbing the little girl's arm, who did not even flinch when the needle was inserted into her skin. "I will return with the results" she left, leaving them alone again.
He laid the child on the stretcher before lying next to her, stroking her hair while continuing to observe her carefully, noting how her right hand clung to her cape, which made him smile, as the little one seemed not to want to distance herself from him and, truthfully, he did not want to separate from her either.
Vega moved in her sleep, tears starting to slide down her cheeks as she begged to be brought back home with her mother, so he could not help whispering reassuring words in her ear as he continued to stroke her hair until she returned to the tranquility of before.
"What are you doing here?" He heard someone asking him, so he turned around to meet Eth-Van, who was carrying Elara, who hid her face in his shoulder without wanting to look at him. "You shouldn't be here" he said approaching to separate him from Vega, but he did not move, those girls were his daughters.
"Eth-Van, you have no right to talk to him like that" he heard Alex defend him. "He has done more than you, he has saved both of them, so you have no right to tell him if he can or can not be here" she pointed angrily at Eth-Van before turning to him. "She's perfect, they don't seem to have hurt her" she explained making him nod. "As for Kara ...," Alex sighed, pausing. "She has lost too much blood, she has no powers and we don't know when she's going to wake up" she communicated to both.
He kissed his daughter's forehead as he lay back next to her, grabbing the little girl's hand in his, grateful that she was okay, though he still had the same concern for Kara, honestly, he needed her well.
From inside that room he could hear perfectly the discussion that was going on in the hallway between Alex and Eth-Van, as he continued to believe that he should not be there, that it was not his place after three years and maybe, for a few seconds, he would have believed the same, but he could not leave his daughter when she needed him the most.
The little girl's eyes opened slowly to look at him, feeling himself watched for a few seconds before she leaned closer to him looking for protection.
"Go back to sleep, little monster" he whispered kissing her hair while noticing the smile that was drawn on the face of the child. "I'll be here with you all the time" he said embracing her.
"I love you, Daddy," he heard the little girl whisper, her face buried in his chest.
This made him hold his breath for a few seconds without believing what he had just heard, because it was hard to believe that it was true that the little girl had recognized him, that she had felt the bond that they had shared from the beginning.
"I love you too, baby" he finally whispered without being able to hold back the smile, maybe it was not all lost.
He remained in that position until he was sure that the little girl had fallen back to sleep deeply. However, the tranquility was lost again at the moment that Eth-Van returned to the room, as the situation became tense between the two.
"I still don't agree with you being here" he heard him comment, which made him exhale tired of the subject.
"That decision is Kara's, not yours and while she is unconscious, I am the one who should make those decisions because they are my daughters" he faced him sitting in bed.
"They stop being your daughters when you give them up for three years" Eth-Van seemed to want to continue arguing and, the truth is that he got it, because with this last comment he got even more angry.
"Do you think I chose it?" He asked trying not to raise his voice, Vega remained asleep behind his back. "I regret every day of not having been here, but it was not my decision, someone did it for me" he explained. "I don't care what you have with Kara, but I intend to fight for my daughters, so don't try to get in my way" he looked at him seriously before noticing that the child was moving as a result of not feeling him close, so he grabbed her little hand.
"I don't know if it's good for the girls" Eth-Van replied. "All this is going to confuse them, you're going to confuse them" he pointed to him making him sigh trying to calm down.
"Do you need me to repeat it again?" He asked arching an eyebrow. "They're my daughters and the only thing I want is their well-being, therefore it will be them and Kara who will decide if they want me or not in their lives" this time he stood up, looking as calm as possible, especially when he saw Alex enter the room, who looked at Eth-Van before pointing to the door for him to leave.
"You have to learn to coexist with the other" Alex looked at him. "Kara hasn't had a good time in recent years and the last thing she needs is for you two to be arguing all the time" she explained making him nod.
He agreed that this was the last thing she needed, both she and the little ones, who were going to end up being the biggest losers in all this, so he was aware that the best thing to do was get along with each other.
When Alex left he fell back to the side of his daughter, but this time, he closed his eyes in an attempt to fall asleep, which he did after a few minutes.
It had been only a few minutes since Kara had woken up, time in which her sister had explained what happened between Eth-Van and Mon-El, but at that time she preferred not to interfere, sincerely she did not feel like it.
When she entered the room, Mon-El slept hugging little Vega, who kept her face buried in her father's chest, a scene that made her smile slightly as she sat in a chair next to them. She placed her hand on his face before kissing the little girl's hair, who moved to stick even closer to him.
"Hey" she smiled the moment Mon-El opened his eyes.
"Hey" he smiled back while stroking the hair of the child. "Are you okay?" He asked, concern echoing in his voice.
"I'm fine, Mon-El" she responded wanting to reassure him. "Thanks for saving me" she smiled timidly crouched the head.
"You know I'll always be there" she heard him comment, which made her look at him again. "Vega knows who I am, I mean, she called me daddy" he explained, looking her straight in the eyes.
She was silent without knowing what to answer, because she was not aware that the little ones could know, is more, the girls had always treated Eth-Van as if he were their fathe. However, it was a great possibility that Vega still had that connection with him so that she could recognize him.
"She has always been really close to you," she smiled slightly. "Both of them have missed you... I have missed you." Tears were present in her eyes without being able to keep them from sliding down her cheeks. "I can't believe you're here" she placed her hand again on his face.
The truth is that at that time all she wanted was for everything to go back to the way it was three years ago when he promised they would be a family when he returned, but at that time they were far from that happening.
Sincerely, she wished she could tell Eth-Van that it was over, but she could not, she knew it would hurt him, even though she warned him that her heart belonged to Mon-El and that it would always be like that. She knew that she had to make that decision and after everything she had heard ... She had not liked the treatment he had given Mon-El.
For the past two years she had forced herself to be happy with someone, a person she only considered a friend, a best friend, and yes, even if they were together, she had never been able to love him that way, just by staying by his side for her daughters, for their well-being.
She sigh. Maybe, in those moments, she should think about what you really wanted, what her heart was asking of you.
"Comets" she heard Mon-El whispering, noting how he was getting up on the bed.
His hand was placed on her cheek, both lost in the other's eyes without being able to move, Mon-El daring to shorten the space between them.
Her heart beat hard the moment his lips brushed hers, feeling the tears slide down her cheeks, but unable to contain the smile when they parted, her forehead close to his.
She had to admit it, she would lie if she said she did not love him, she needed him to be alive.
