Chapter 5
The day seemed to be endless. Bonnie was silent but was observing him
looking for clues. Even when he went to get himself some coffee he felt her
eyes burning his back. He wondered if he should inform the DEO. She hadn't
find out much but maybe...No he couldn't think of her as a threat. But how
long until her reporter's instinct kicks in ? He walked back to his desk with his
fuming coffee. Bonnie was not here anymore. He tried to call her but she was
on voicemail. His guts twisted and he went away to have some privacy.
Mon-El : he called Winn Hey, could you trace a number ?
Bonnie looked around. She was not sure it was the right place. Her new source
might not be trustworthy. She entered the warehouse and turned on the camera
of her phone. She heard some noises and hid behind a wall. She waited a
couple of minutes before taking a look. Men were unloading boxes of
weapons. She smiled while recording what she could. That was when she felt
something cold against her back.
Man: Get up.
She didn't move.
Man : I told you to get up ! He brutally made her stand and walked to the other men Look what I found.
Bonnie : Leave me alone. I have proof of your illegal business.
Leader : loading his gun You don't look like a cop he saw her phone More like a pain in the ass reporter.
Bonnie : That's right and I already sent a video. People know where I am and if you...
Leader : I don't care. Destroy the phone, kill her and get rid of the body.
Bonnie : No, please...
The man that busted her pointed his gun to her head. The time seemed to freeze.
Mon-El ran in fast and grabbed Bonnie. They were gone before the gun fired.
The young man stopped a few blocks away.
Bonnie : Wow she stumbled I don't feel too good.
Mon-El : Take some deep breaths, it will help.
She leaned against a wall and waited for the world to stop spinning.
Mon-El : You're ok ?
Bonnie : I was right ! I was freaking right !
He couldn't help but laugh. She never gives up, he thought.
Bonnie : I have so many questions.
Mon-El : First we have to go back to safety. I can't believe you went there alone !
Bonnie : I didn't know if I could trust you. You lied to me about not being an alien.
Mon-El: As if I was going to tell you right away. It's called a secret for a reason.
Bonnie : You're right. I wouldn't mind some coffee.
Coffee shop
Mon-El : Bonnie, stop staring at me. I won't turn into something else.
Bonnie : Sorry.
They were sitting in a quiet booth. The waitress came to serve them coffee.
Bonnie : When she was gone Are you a Kryptonian ?
Mon-El : he winced No.
Bonnie : Oh. My first idea is wrong, damn.
Mon-El : Actually my planet was near Krypton. So close it got destroyed when this stupid planet exploded.
Bonnie : I'm sorry, I never imagined...
Mon-El : he grabbed her hand It's ok. I'm just not a fan of Superman because everytime I see him it reminds me I lost my world. I know it's not his fault but still. My planet was Daxam he smiled a little
Bonnie : How old were you when you...left ?
Mon-El : Thirteen.
Bonnie : she frowned But...How old are you now ? Do you age differently ? Because I know Superman came here as a baby so if you left at the same time...
Mon-El : I'm the same age as you. I got stuck somewhere in my journey to Earth and I was frozen in time. I was still thirteen when I landed here.
The young woman remained silent to process the new information.
Mon-El : Sometimes when I close my eyes I can see the details, the good memories, the bad ones, the landscapes...
She listened to him for a while. He hadn't talk about his home in a long time.
His adoptive parents and Winn knew. She shared the enthusiasm of his friend.
Mon-El : I'd appreciate if you don't tell anyone what I just shared.
Bonnie : I already said I wouldn't. I won't take back my word.
Mon-El : Thanks.
Bonnie : And thanks for saving my life. Now I can stop them she pointed at her phone
