I woke up as a result of the alarm, opening my eyes between asleep and frightened as if trying to understand what was happening, but the truth is that I did, it was the first day in two weeks that I went back to school, a fact that made me nervous, because I should explain to Jean what had happened.
I sighed, relaxing before I got ready and I left my room, heading for the kitchen, stopping short when I saw him, since I had not remembered that today was his first day at CatCo.
"Did you make pancakes?" I asked my sister sitting on the counter, who just nodded before putting the plate in front of me. "Good!" I exclaimed, picking up the syrup.
"Hey, don't drown the pancakes in syrup, your body doesn't seem to react very well to sugar," she warned observing me. "You should brush your hair", she said.
"Hmm ... too tired," I complained. "You could do it," I pointed her.
"Yes, I would love to, Kaelah" she smiled excitedly getting me to rethink whether it had been a good idea or not.
However, I could not deny it once said, because she was not going to accept a no for an answer.
It only took a couple of minutes, which I occupied in finishing breakfast.
"Thanks." I smiled when she finished.
"Hey, why don't you wear glasses?" Mon-el asked.
"Because she doesn't have to keep an identity hidden," my sister answered.
"Why are you so sure I'm not going to do it?" I asked, waiting anxiously for her answer. "Who assured you I was not going to have to?" I asked.
"I'm not going to allow it, much less with CADMUS stalking," she replied. "You're too young, it's dangerous," she explained, as I shook my head, ready to complain. "You'll be late, Kaelah," she warned.
I nodded, for I was actually going to be late, so I grabbed my backpack and left, keeping in mind that this conversation had not finished there.
The message I had received from my sister indicated that I should go to CatCo, although I was not very clear about the reasons, since she had not specified it, so when I arrived there and did not find her, I looked again at my cell phone, reading the new message that had arrived, I had to watch Mon-el.
I sighed, seriously? I could not believe it, Do I really take care of him? I shook my head as I approached his table, making him look at me questioningly, not understanding the situation.
"Are not you supposed to be in class?" he asked.
"It ends at lunch, Mon-el," I replied. "My sister wants me to watch over you," I explained.
"You're supposed to keep an eye on me, don't you?" He looked at me as if he could not believe it.
"Yes, what's the problem?" I raised an eyebrow, starting to get tired of this.
"No, no, it's just that you're too young," he said, taking me to the limit of my patience.
"Apparently not enough for you," I replied back making him to look at me surprised because of my answer.
Luckily the conversation was over at the moment, so I sat in one of the chairs, focusing on the cell phone, trying to ignore him as much as possible, but I kept feeling watched by him.
I raised my head to meet his gaze, causing me to raise an eyebrow awaiting his response, turning my attention to the sweets he had.
"Do you like them?" He asked after watching me for a couple of seconds, receiving a statement from me. "Your sister says you can not eat sweets, but I suppose because I give one, nothing will happen, right?" he smiled offering one, pulling it out before I could pick it. "Let's make a deal, I'll give it to you if you cover me for a few minutes," he said.
"What? No" I denied it.
"Well, then, there is no sweet for you," he assured me.
"Okay," I said, resigned, but I really wanted that sweet.
He handed it to me before getting up and preparing to leave, not without turning to warn me not to eat more than one.
I nodded, no, that was not my intention, but the moment I started, I didn't know how to stop, so in a few minutes I ate half the box, and I could assure that I would have continued eating if it was not because my sister appeared.
"Hey, where's Mike?" She asked.
"I don't know," I replied doubtfully.
"You don't know? Where is he, Kaelah? "She asked again.
"I don't know," I said. "Look for him", I looked at her, aware of the hyperactivity that was invading me, since I kept moving my hands, not to mention my right leg.
"Ew ... come out of my ears," she said turning.
"Where are you going?" I asked, standing up to follow her down the aisles of CatCo.
My sister seemed to be moving forward, as if she knew where she was going without any doubt, stopping in front of a door, however, what happened next was confusing. Kara placed her hand over my eyes without allowing me to see the scene.
"What are you doing? I mean, I know what you're doing, but ... "She stopped the sentence when she was interrupted by Eve.
"This is not what it seems," she said.
"It's the perfect definition for something that is what it seems" my sister answered even with her hand over my eyes. "Eve, just go" she asked her. "Can I know what is going through your head?"
I sighed, starting to feel overwhelmed as I continued not to see, trying to get my sister's hand away, but she did not.
"Kara, I'm sixteen not six, I'm not a baby," I said, trying to get her out of the way, letting her know that I was very aware of what had happened, but luckily I got her to let me go.
"Mon-el, you can not do that, not here," she scolded, starting to walk again.
"I don't think it's wrong when they do it on that doctors show, I've seen it on TV," he pointed out as if that were enough.
"Really?" I looked at him excitedly. "Me too," I said, not really knowing why I was doing it, losing control of myself.
"Since when?" Kara asked, looking rather serious at the girl, who shrugged. "Have you eaten some sweet?" She asked, grabbing her face.
She nodded before turning to him, showing emotion in her eyes, as if she was going to tell him the most spectacular thing she had ever said in all her life.
"Do you know I can fly?" She asked.
"Yeah...?" he hesitated, not knowing what to answer, watching her.
Kaelah smiled for a couple of seconds before running off without listening to the aftershocks of Kara, who was trying to stop her.
"James, stop her!" Cried Kara, terrified of what might happen at that moment, as far as her sister could do.
They both ran after her, watching as James held her in the middle of the office, despite her insistence that she knew how to fly, that they should let her try.
"Hold her," Kara asked him after making a null attempt to pull her back, unable to, because she resisted.
He heeded his request and lifted the girl in a hurry to get her to fight, but he was not going to let her go, it was clear he was not going to do it, not until he was indicated. So he followed Kara to a separate room, where she could leave Kaelah on the floor, who seemed much quieter at that time, sitting in the couch while her sister left the room to call DEO.
"I can fly, I know how to fly," she exclaimed, rising from the couch.
"Shh, I know, Kaelah," he grabbed her again and set her down on the couch.
"But, I can do it," she complained. "Leave me," she shouted, letting go of his grip, steadily heading for the terrace.
"Kara" he shouted without being very clear the intentions of the girl, but following her.
However, at the moment when the panic spread, it was when she stood on the edge, causing him to take her, because he was sure that she was going to jump and the problem was not that she could get killed, but could expose herself .
She was quite surprised to see Supergirl in front of her, pushing her sister backwards, helping him to get her out of there, causing her screams, assuring that she could fly.
He hugged her tightly as she struggled to break free, but he did not stop, so he sat with her in his arms, trying to calm her down.
"They told me to take her there," she said. "You're going to have to calm down, Kaelah," she said, getting her to hide her face on his shoulder. "He's your friend now, huh? Yesterday you didn't want to be with him" she caressed her cheek. "Can you hold her?"
He nodded, rising with the girl in his arms at the same time she complained again, however, she did not argue, but rested her head on his shoulder, angry.
When they arrived at the DEO they were not able to separate her from him, because every time someone approached, she hid the face as any small child.
"Hey, sweetie, what do you say if you come with me?" Alex asked, causing her to look at her for a couple of seconds before nodding, so he dropped her on the floor to let go with her, she grabbed his hand, not wanting to leave without him.
They both advanced after Alex, noting how much more Kaelah clung to him the moment they entered the room, but especially when she identifying her sister. She let go of his hand as her sister began to move toward her, causing her to trip over her own feet and fall to the floor.
"Kaelah," Kara was alarmed.
He watched a pout reflected on her face, she was going to start crying, so in an instinctive reflex he approached her, holding her in his arms at the exact moment that broke the cry.
"Why does she behave like this?" Kara questioned Alex as if she could give her the answer.
"Well, I don't know, it's a bit strange," she said before adding. "But if she behaves like that, we'll have to treat her as if she was baby," she said.
They told him to sit with Kaelah in the couch, which he paid attention to, placing the girl in his lap, holding her tightly to stop her crying, to calm her down.
"Hey, little one, look what I have" Alex said showing her the famous teddy, getting her to stretch her arms to reach it. "You like it, right?" She smiled giving it to her. "Mon-el, I'll need you to distract her, this it's going to hurt," she warned.
Alex lifted the sleeve of her shirt, causing Kaelah to distrust and try to struggle to see her with a needle in her hand.
"Kaelah, hey, look," he said, moving the teddy getting her attention.
He moved it in front of his face causing her laughter, causing him to smile at the sound of it, but that was short-lived, for the cry was again present at the moment Alex stuck the needle in her arm, making him hold her tightly .
"Shh, I'm sorry, little one" she caressed her cheek." She should fall asleep in a couple of minutes, then we can try to discover how sugar affects her, "she commented to Kara, who had stayed apart.
He felt the girl's body finally relax, indicating that the effects of the painkiller had taken effect.
"Mon-el, you can leave her on the stretcher," she informed him, so he did, but refused to leave the room, feeling that if he did, he would not be able to forgive himself.
