Chapter 2
It took Garrett a week to convince the head of the DEO that Mon-El would be
in a better environment if he would come to his house. They already knew that
but he stressed on the fact he had a wife. They could be a real family. And that
was how the teen alien entered their life. Of course it wasn't easy for Mon-El to
adapt because all was so new. He missed his old planet and a lot of things were
different. HE was different. On Daxam he wasn't this strong and his earing
wasn't that powerful. He even had to change his name. After a few weeks of
adaptation Garrett enroled into a junior high school.
Mon-El : he looked through the car window Do you think I can handle this ?
Garrett : Yes. We talked about this. I know you're scared but...
Mon-El : I'm NOT scared.
His father looked at him and smiled a little. Daxamites seemed to be full of
pride creatures.
Mon-El : What ?
Garrett : Nothing. C'mon, go impress them. I'll pick you up after the classes.
Mon-El : You better or maybe I'll try to fly home.
Garrett : I'd be curious to see that.
Mon-El : Someday he opened the door See ya.
Garrett smiled and drove to work. The young alien walked towards the school
and looked around. He noticed a group of boys bothering another one. They
were kicking his books on the floor. On Daxam the situation wouldn't have
been shocking but Mon-El remembered Earthlings didn't like bullying very
much. He fixed his glasses -Garrett's idea even though his eyes were fine- and
walked to the group.
Mon-El : Hello.
Leader : What ?
Mon-El : I think you should leave him alone.
Leader : Mind your own business, nerd.
Mon-El : Or what ?
Leader : Or...*he tried to push him away but the boy didn't move* What the...
Mon-El : Oh let me try he pushed him 'softly' and he fell on the floor
The group walked away helping their leader.
?: You shouldn't have done that but thank you he gathered his books
Mon-El : Why not ?
?: Because they're going to think we're friends. Your reputation's already ruined.
Mon-El : It doesn't matter to me.
?: Alright he smiled I'm Winn he extended his hand
Mon-El : Mo-Mike. I'm Mike he tried to shake his hand normally
They started to walk inside.
Winn : So where do you come from ?
12 years later
Mon-El fixed his glasses and went in the elevator. Today was his first day at his
new job. He had a Skype interview with Cat Grant and she hired him as a
reporter. He left the elevator and bumped into someone. Her papers fell on the
floor and she sighed.
Mon-El : I'm really sorry.
?: No it's me. I wasn't looking she kneeled down to gather her stuff
Mon-El : At least let me help you he joined her
?: It's fi-*she met his eyes* Fine.
Mon-El : he smiled I'm Mike. It's my first day.
They got up.
?: Bonnie. Oh, you're Mike Matthews, the new reporter ?
Mon-El : Exactly. Ok so it's true that's Miss Grant is...Well...
Bonnie : Whatever you've heard, reality is worse she laughed a little More seriously she's tough but I've learned a lot with her.
Mon-El : I'll remember that.
Bonnie : Good luck she pushed the elevator's button
Mon-El : Leaving already ?
Bonnie : Work is waiting she got in the elevator I'll see you around.
He smiled and made his way to Cat's office.
Assistant : You're Mike Matthews ?
Mon-El : Yes. She's waiting for me ?
Assistant : Go in her phone rang and she picked it up Catco speaking.
He pushed the door.
Cat : You're here. I can finally see you in the flesh.
Mon-El : Good morning, Miss Grant.
Cat : And he's still polite. That's refreshing. Oh since you're new I was thinking you should be Miss Bennett's partner. Maybe you saw her, she was leaving.
Mon-El : Petite, black and pretty ? Her name's Bonnie ?
Cat : she smiled That's her she gave him a card Call her and join her. Quick.
