Those past days had been completely crazy, having Livewire in the field again and everything that had been going on with Mon-El, she hadn't had any time to relax.

Halley had been staying the whole afternoon with Alex and the little girl had fallen asleep shortly before she went to pick her up from her sister's loft.

Her cousin's head fell on her shoulder, with her little face hiding in her neck as she tried to remove Halley's hair from her face, holding the child tightly, not wanting to wake up the five year old.

The moment she turned the hallway her heart skipped a beat, Mon-El was waiting at her door and for a moment she really thought about flying away from there. However, she just tried to smile while walking towards him.

"Hi" her voice was barely audible.

"Hey" Mon-El sighed. "She's asleep?" he asked, softly ruffling Halley's hair.

"Come on in" she said opening the door and approaching the couch.

She laid her cousin down, covering her small body with a blanket before looking at Mon-El, who had watched the whole scene without doing or saying anything, he seemed distracted like if he was thinking deeply about something.

"Are you okay?" she finally found her voice to ask.

"Yeah" he quickly answered as she approached him. "Just you..., Hmm..., you were right" he stated. "I remember kissing you" Mon-El finally admitted, which only caused her world to spin, feeling the urge to grab her head to stop it. "Do you wanna sit?" he asked after observing her.

"Sure" she nodded really needing it, both of them sitting in front each other on a stool.

"I... I remember" Mon-El looked down, the words not wanting to come out of his mouth. "I was sick and alone... And you were leaning over me" he paused. "You must have been sad because your eyes were insanely blue... I mean, they're always are, but they were like..." he paused again as if he was trying to find the right word. "Comets" he finally said, her heart beating as fast as it could. "I didn't t remember seeing anyone so stunning and I kissed you" he looked at her, which made her look away for a few seconds. "And it was okay that I was..." Mon-El sighed as if he didn't know how to say it. "It was okay that I was gonna die because I had gotten to kiss you" he stated at point when she took her glasses off and grabbed her head once more.

That time her world was stumbling, that revelation had been hard to hear and those last words had broken her heart, she couldn't imagine him dying and being fine with it just because he had kissed her.

"I saved you at the police station because I care about you" he said getting closer to her, his eyes locked with hers. "Comets" he shook his head slightly.

"Mon-El... " for a moment she thought her voice was going to fail her, but she didn't get the chance to keep talking.

"I don't want to change your mind, I get that you don't care about me" he interrupted her.

"I do care about you" she claimed looking back at him.

"But not in the same way, that's... Good, that's okay" he said, her heart breaking once again, he sounded heartbroken. "Just keep working with me, I've been honest about this, we can't ignore it, we can't let it go, so let's just put it behind us... Yeah?" he asked kind of hoping for everything to be as before.

"Yeah" she answered not sure of what she really wanted.

"Keep being my partner" Mon-El asked as she nodded.

"Thank you for being honest" she told him, both of them had needed that conversation.

"Yeah, okay..." he tried to smile. "Good talk" he said with her hand up for her to give him five, which made her smiled while watching him walked to the door. "See you tomorrow, partner" he looked one last time to her before leaving.

She stood sitting there while staring at the door not really knowing how she should feel about it, her heart and mind divided. Part of her had wanted to tell him that she cared about him in the same way, but her other half wasn't so sure about them being together, she really thought they were too different for that.

She let her head rest on her hands as she thought once more about what had happened, knowing it was something they wouldn't be able to forget, something that would change their relationship forever.

Her gaze diverted to her little cousin, who was still asleep with Saffire embraced, as she thought how all of that was going to affect the child's life, hoping that, at least, the five year old was able to keep her friendship with Mon-El.

She walked closer to her when she heard the little girl muttering words in kryptonese asking not to be hurt, seeing tears were running down her cousin's cheeks, so she held the kid tightly while sitting back on the couch and whispering reassuring words in Halley's ear.

"You were right, baby" she whispered kissing her cousin's forehead. "You were right".

The five year old woke up shortly after her cousin had tucked her in bed, tears spreaded all over her cheeks as she tried to sit up.

She must have been screaming because she was thirsty and seconds later Kara opened the door, observing her before walking closer to her.

"You okay?" her cousin asked sitting on the bed as she nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?" Kara questioned.

"I don't remember it" she answered, because for the first time she wasn't able to know what she had been dreaming about. "I'm hungry" she said seeing Kara smile.

Her cousin nodded slightly before picking her up and walk to the kitchen, sitting her on a a stool to look for something they could eat and, even though it wasn't the best to eat at that time at night, her cousin chose ice cream.

"Is it yummy?" Kara asked sitting in front of her and taking a spoonful to her mouth, which made her tried to answer but ended up coughing. "Hey, here, sweetie" her cousin palmed her back while giving her a glass of water.

She took it from her cousin's hand, bringing it close to her mouth to drink it, but shortly after that the glass shattered in her hands, which scared both of them, but made her frown in pain. Her right hand was covered in blood from the glass that had cut her skin, Kara quickly covering her hand with a cloth.

Tears soon made their way down her cheeks as she tried to keep her breathe steady, but she was scared, she had never seen so much blood.

"Shh, it's okay, it's okay" Kara tried to calm her down, picking her up. "Hold tight to my suit, okay?" her cousin kissed her forehead as she nodded knowing Kara was about to leap into the dark night sky.

She did what her cousin told her, holding tight to her cousin's cape, her eyes closed as she tried not to think about the pain of her hand and all the blood that was still pouring from the wound.

"What happened?" she heard Alex asked, which made turn her head to look at her.

"She has a glass on her hand" Kara answered showing her tiny hand to the agent, who observed it with concern.

"Oh..., you okay, kiddo?" Alex caressed her face making her shake her head. "It's gonna be fine" the agent tried to calm her down, but she could only rest her head on her cousin's shoulder.

They walked to the infirmary, Kara sitting her on the stretcher while waiting for Alex to have everything ready because as far a she had heard, she was needing stitches.

"How did this happen?" Alex questioned approaching them.

"I think she might be developing superstrength" Kara answered making Alex to nodded.

"Can you lay down, sweetheart?" the agent asked, so she nodded before doing it, her gaze focusing in her cousin, appreciating not being able to see the wound. "It's going to hurt a little bit at first, then it will be over" her cousin's sister explained.

However, she couldn't help but move her hand the first time Alex was about to touch it, whimpering in pain as she holding tight to her cousin's hand, tears being contained in her blue eyes.

Alex didn't lie when she said that it wasn't going to hurt as bad as it had been at the beginning, her eyes closing when she felt how the agent was removing the glass from her hand.

"I'm almost done" Alex told her as if she wanted to keep her as calm as possible. "All done" her cousin's sister smiled once her hand was bandaged. "I don't know how long it will take to heal, but I would like to see it in about two days, okay?" the agent said making both, Kara and her, to nod. "You did it so good, kiddo" Alex ruffled her hair while smiling at her. "I'm going to look for another bandage just in case you need it"

Kara looked at her with concern, observing her cautiously while caressing her hair as if her cousin was trying to calm her down, so she tried to smile at her.

"I think we're gonna need to test your abilities again, baby" her cousin commented. "At least the strength" Kara said.

"Can we do it now?" she asked seeing how her cousin sighed tiredly.

"I was thinking about doing it tomorrow, but if you feel like it, then it's fine" Kara answered her making her nodded.

"What are you doing here? Is everything okay?" they both turned their heads to the door when they heard Mon-El asking.

"She has needed a few stitches, but she's fine, right, baby?" Kara smiled as she nodded.

"You really need to stop scaring your cousin that way, kiddo" Mon-El ruffled her hair before tickling her, which made her giggle.

She couldn't avoid observing how things were kind of awkward between her cousin and Mon-El, but not like it had been being the days before.

When Alex came back to the room, they all went to the training room to test her strength, all of them watching her carefully as she just listened to what her cousin was asking her to do.

"Her system is still changing, it will take time before her superstrength appear permanently" Alex explained as Kara picked her up, her head leaning on her cousin's shoulder while closing her eyes.

"You're tired, huh?" her cousin asked caressing her face making her nod. "I think we're going home" Kara whispered as she opened her eyes waiting for being at home to fall asleep.

"Goodbye, kiddo" Mon-El caressed her hair before kissing her forehead.

Soon they were at her cousin's apartment, but, even though she was tired, her hands were gripping Kara's t-shirt not wanting to be left alone in her room that night, so her cousin laid down with her, embracing her until she fell asleep.

She had needed time to sleep in her own bed again, waking up because of nightmares that had been triggered because of the amount of blood she had seen pouring from her hand.

She was able to heard her cousin talking, hearing Mon-El voice as well, which made her to get up and walked to the living room being able to watch how a blue string was everywhere at the loft.

Her cousin grabbed her arm to pull her behind her when a man appeared there, Mon-El also keeping her behind him.

"Darling" the man said looking directly to Kara.

"Who the hell are you?" her cousin asked just as confused as everyone else.

"I'm Mr. Mxyzptlk and Kara Zor-El, I love you" he answered getting closer. "First candles, then music and a ring" the man kneeled down in front of her cousin. "Will you marry me?" he asked causing her cousin to laugh. "I can show you the world..." he started singing.

"I don't know how you got to this planet, but she's with me" Mon-El said grabbing him by his shirt and pulling him up.

"The other suitor!" Mxyzptlk exclaimed observing Mon-El. "I didn't see you there, tall, dark and bland-some. You're barely there, let alone my romantic rival" the man commented.

"No!" Kara shouted as Mon-El tried to hit Mxyzptlk, but he vanished.

"Invisible is a good look on you. Let's play to your strengths" Mxyzptlk told Mon-El while snapping his fingers, making him to dissappear.

At that moment she grabbed her cousin's hand being afraid of that man, where was Mon-El?

Her cousin didn't lose her grip while walking closer to him, leaving her behind her one more time as she kept holding her hand.

"What...? Where is he?" Kara asked.

"Oh, don't worry, he's at the DEO" Mxyzptlk answered kneeling again. "Where was I?... Oh, yeah, Will...?" he started asking.

"No" her cousin interrupted him.

"Who is she?" he asked pointing at her, which made her bow down her head.

"My cousin" Kara answered trying for Mxyzptlk not to get close to her.

"Oh, hey, sweetie" Mxyzptlk crouched in front of her while greeting her.

"I don't know who you are or how you got here..." Kara tried to pronounce his name.

"Mxyzptlk. It's spelled like it sounds." he repeated again.

"Just start again and start slow. Where are you from?" her cousin asked still confused.

"Well, they call me the interdimensional man about town" he answered. "It doesn't matter where I'm from, sweetcheeks. So let's get this knot tied" he commented snapping his fingers, conjuring a wedding dress.

"What is...? Are you crazy? You can't just put me in a wedding dress" Kara snapped angrily.

"Why not? It's Vera Wang" he pointed out.

"I'm flattered, but I'm not gonna marry you, Mxyzptlk" her cousin told him.

"That's funny. I'm all-seeing and all-powerful, but that's one of the few things I can't make you do" Mxyzptlk said. "That and make you fall in love with me, and/or stop you from killing yourself, and/or make you drink orange juice for some reason. Anything else, yes, but go figure." he explained.

"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just not interested" her cousin answered.

"Don't be sorry, buttercup" Mxyzptlk smiled at Kara. "I know what you're doing. You're playing hard to get, which is utterly charming and delightful, by the way" he said as her cousin shook her head.

"What? No. No, I... I'm not" Kara quickly denied his statement.

"You're flustered. You're confused. Your heart is racing. I have that effect on women" he came closer to Kara, which cause her cousin to cover her. "Let me tell you how this works. I chose you as my mate, and now I will wow you with breathtaking feats of ardor until you fall madly in love with me. And fear not, Kara Zor-El, you will fall in love with me. Once you've been adored by all-powerful Mxy, there's no going back, see? Ciao, mio amore" Mxyzptlk explained shortly before disappearing.

At that moment she looked at her cousin confused, not really understanding what was going on, but seeing concern in Kara's face before picking her up and embrace her tightly. She could tell that both of them were scared and confused about what had happened.

Hi!

Mxyzptlk has appeared, finally, but it's just the beginning, I'm still not sure about how to included Halley in that episode because I think that is a main Karamel chapter. Let me know if you have any suggestions for that.

Thanks so much for reading, let me know what you think,
