The little girl woke up in her cousin's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks as she tried to look around, frowning when she realized that they were at the DEO.
She put her hands on her cousin's shoulders to pull away, which made Kara to look at her worriedly, but embracing her again.
"Shh, it's still early, go back to sleep, baby" Kara whispered softly.
However, she was too confused to sleep, so she kept her eyes open even with her head resting on Kara's shoulder. Her cousin noticed that she wasn't falling asleep, so Kara ended up sitting her in a chair with her baby blanket, so she wouldn't be barefoot on the floor.
She stayed there curled up in the blanket trying to stay awake and understand what was happening, because as far as she had listened, a space ship was flying around National City.
She fell asleep a few minutes later, but waking up only an hour after that, everyone was still discussing what to do with the aliens in the ship, but that time learning that had been asking for Mon-El to relinquish to them.
"The clock is ticking" J'onn said as she watched how her cousin turned ready to act, Mon-El following close to her.
She wanted to run to them, but she couldn't avoid whimpering when her barefoot got in contact with the floor, grimacing and making Alex to looked at her.
"Oh, kiddo, come here" the agent picked her up, still wrapping her up in the blanket. "You okay?" Alex asked to what she nodded.
All of them got in front of the screens to watch how everything was going, Alex hugging her tightly when Kara was first shot, but the second time panic seized her, her little face hiding in the agent's neck as she closed her eyes not wanting to keep watching it.
"Stop! Stop! Stand down!" Mon-El shouted making her to look at him. "This is Mon-El of Daxam, to the invaders, I'll relinquish myself" he finally said as she grabbed his shirt to prevent him from walking away.
Mon-El looked at her while sighing, a soft smile on his face as if he was trying to keep her calm, but the truth was that those aliens had recently attacked her cousin and she wasn't sure they wouldn't hurt him as well.
She kept her grip until he picked her Alex's arms, embracing her as tight as possible like if he was saying goodbye to her, so that only made her to hold on to him for as long as they would let them.
"It's gonna be alright, kiddo" he whispered before pulling her away a little. "I'll be back, okay?" he said before kissing her forehead and handing her back to Alex just as her cousin arrived.
Kara wasn't happy about his decision and she couldn't blame her, for she knew that her cousin was too scared of losing him.
She watched them argue for a few minutes until Mon-El managed to convince Kara to let him go, but her cousin didn't fulfill her promise when she saw her embracing him just at they dissappeared from there.
At that moment she wanted to jump from Alex's arms, screaming her cousin's name scared of something happening to them both and she being left alone again. However, Alex increased the strength of the embrace trying to keep her in her arms.
"They're gonna be okay, sweetie" the agent told her making her nodded. "I guess you're staying with me, we should go home and get you some clothes" Alex kissed the top of her head.
They went to Kara's loft to pick some clothes for her, so she dressed up with Alex's help, who braided her hair into two french braids. She also picked her coloring books and crayons to bring to the DEO, knowing that it would be a long day.
She spent the whole day under Alex's watch, wondering why they were taking so long to come back, because she had expected them to be back sooner.
The moment she heard her cousin's voice, she left her crayons over the coloring book before getting down of the chair and walking to the balcony, place where Kara and Mon-El were. She could tell that they were arguing, at least Kara was mad at him, so for a few seconds she stopped in her steps not knowing what to do.
"Kara!" she squealed running to embrace her cousin's legs, feeling the superhero putting her hand on her back.
She turned with a smile ready to hug Mon-El as well, but her cousin scooped her up before she could do that.
"I can't even look at you" Kara said holding her tight before leaping to the sky.
By the time they arrived the loft a lot of questions were being contained in her mind, not understanding why her cousin was mad at Mon-El or why he wasn't going home with them as he had been doing for the past month.
She looked at her cousin concerned, finding pain in her eyes, which made her frown, but Kara just kneeled in front of her and hugged her tightly.
"Why didn't Mon-El come with us?" she asked pulling away from her cousin.
"I... We need a break, baby" Kara answered caressing her cheek. "It's complicated, but I don't want to see him for a time, okay?" her cousin looked at her making her nod.
"Can I see him?" she asked as her cousin sighed.
"I don't know, we'll see" Kara said before embracing her again, that time tears streamed down her cousin's face.
"You're sad?" she questioned to what her cousin nodded. "But it's okay, we still have each other" she whispered remembering how many times her mother had told her that when she was upset.
"Aww, little one, I will always be here for you" her cousin kissed her forehead with a tender smile.
"Behave, okay?" Kara asked her, so she nodded grabbing Alex's hand.
After having asking her cousin for a long time, she had finally gotten Kara to let her see Mon-El, but Alex was the one on charge of leaving her with him and taking her back home.
Both of them walked to the parked where Mon-El was waiting for them, running excitingly towards him, her arms open to hug his legs, but he picked her up before she could do so, hugging her tightly.
"Hi, kiddo" he smiled kissing the top of her head. "I'll call you when I have to go to work" Mon-El said to Alex, who nodded before ruffling her hair and leaving. "Okay, What do you want to do?" he asked to what she shrugged. "What about... Going to the playground?" he said.
"No" she answered shaking her head. "Can I have ice cream?" she asked.
"I think it's too early for that" he said making her pout. "What's going to say your cousin about it?" he asked as she changed the strategy, looking at him with puppy eyes. "Okay, okay, ice cream is the choice" he laughed.
"Yay!" she exclaimed.
"Not a word to Kara, she's mad enough" he asked her, so she nodded.
The two of them walked to the closet ice cream palor, where she sat waiting for Mon-El to come back with the ice cream.
"There you go" he said giving her the cone of chocolate ice cream, so she started eating it happily.
They spent most of the morning together, but having to say goodbye to him when he had to go to work, but promising her that they would meet other time.
She told Alex everything they had done even showing her the new figure of a dragon that Mon-El had bought for her, holding her hand tightly until she saw her cousin standing in the balcony talking with another woman, moment in which, even though her Alex tried to prevent it, she got away from the agent to run towards her cousin.
She hugged her cousin's legs causing Kara to turn to her, a soft smile drawn in the superhero's face before her cousin tried to hide her behind her.
Kara seemed to look to the inside of the DEO, so she did as well, seeing Alex nod before leaving as the same time her cousin caressed her hair gently, smiling when she showed her the dragon.
"A dragon" the woman said observing her. "Who's the child?" she asked pointing at her.
"My cousin" Kara answered quickly.
"Other kryptonian" the woman commented still observing her before looking at Kara. "Tell Mon-El to talk to his parents" she asked before disappearing.
At that moment she looked at her cousin confused, but Kara just took her hand and started walking inside the DEO, place where Alex was waiting for them.
She sat on a chair playing with the dragon while the two sisters talked about what had happened, pain and anger showing in her cousin, who stormed out of there even more mad than she already was.
She waited for her cousin to return, hoping they would spend some time together after that, however, her cousin had to work, so both of them went to CatCo, place where they spent most of the evening.
While walking back home, she told her cousin about her morning with Mon-El, seeing Kara smile with every single word she was saying, but her cousin's face changed when they entered the apartment.
"I hope you don't mind that I let myself in" she heard Mon-El say as Kara stopped in her steps, making her stop as well.
"Go to your room, baby" her cousin asked her, so she just nodded before running away from there.
She sat on her bed listening to their conversation, Mon-El was the Prince of Daxam not a guard as he had said before, so she could understand why her cousin was mad, he had lied to her during those past months. Honestly, she was a little bit upset because of knowing that he had hurt her cousin.
She walked out of her room when she heard silence, finding her cousin crying, sitting on the floor with her back on the door, so she couldn't help herself but to hug her with all the strength she could. Kara embrace her tightly as well, forcing her to sit down in her lap.
"I love you" she whispered into her cousin's embrace.
"I love you, too, little one" Kara kissed her forehead.
She held her cousin's hand tightly while walking into the DEO, her gaze focusing on every agent that was there waiting for J'onn.
"Hey, hey, How are you doing, buddy?" Winn came closer to them. "Hi, kiddo" he ruffled her hair as she smiled back at him.
He and her cousin continued talking, but paying attention to J'onn when he started talking, everyone turning when the new prisoner arrived.
The moment her cousin starting walking to him, she tried to hold Kara's cape, but she didn't get it, being held by Winn as if he was afraid of her running towards her cousin.
"Supergirl" Mon-El whispered worriedly as the prisoner managed to get rid of the agents grips.
A few minutes after the prisoner had escaped through a portal and her cousin fell unconscious in Mon-El's arms, making her to approach them with concern, not really understanding what had happened to her cousin.
"Is she going to be okay?" she asked Alex when the agent came out of the med bay, tears being contained in her eyes.
"Umm..., I hope so, kiddo" Alex answered crouching to her height. "I don't know what's going on, but I can promise you that Kara is a fighter and she will get over this" the agent told her before standing up and grabbing her hand to bring her inside the room. "Come here, sweetie" Alex sat her down on a stool next to her cousin's.
"Mon-El and I are going to the Flash' Earth" J'onn said while entering the room with Mon-El.
"Can I go too?" she asked getting both of them to look at her.
"It could be dangerous, Halley" J'onn told her.
"But she's my cousin and I want to go, papa" tears was starting to fall down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, little one, but the best is for you to stay here" he said as a final decision, which made her bowed down her head.
She stayed by Alex side watching how the portal opened, watching how they were taking her cousin away from her, so, just before they could dissappear, she sprinted and grabbed J'onn's shirt being ready to be teleported to another Earth.
Hi!
I jumped to episode 16 and Mon-El's parents are finally around getting things complicated and messy between him and Kara, but also with Halley. The little girl is not really happy about learning that he has lied to her cousin.
Next chapter is the musical crossover with the Flash and probably episode 17 from Supergirl, I don't know.
I've thinking for a while now about how I want this story to continue so I made the decision of including episodes: 21 and 22 from season two, maybe 19, I'm still thinking about that; 1, 7, crossover, 9-10, 20, 21, 22 and 23 from season three. I wanted to explain the basis of Halley's relationships with everyone else and I think that was I've been doing with season two, so with the season three I want to write what could affect Halley the most.
However, if you think that is something else that I should include, let me know.
Also, I've been thinking about writing a sequel and I would like to know if you are interested in it, so here is a small fragment:
Halley's P.O.V
I got myself in front of some Fort Rozz ex-prisoners, frowning while blocking their path, still trying to understand what they were doing there and why eleven years after the idea of myriad had come back again. Honestly, I couldn't understand how they thought that it would work after so long.
Two of them observed me, it was obvious that they recognized me and, even though I couldn't remember who they were, I knew they had followed my parents in every step they had made.
"General" I turned my head to the one who spoke, my attention in the woman that had just arrived, observing her attentively, recognizing that white lock of hair.
That fact made me close my eyes trying to calm down, it couldn't be her, she was dead. It was just my imagination.
When I opened my eyes I was barely able to see her face shortly before she disappeared in the night sky, tears falling down my cheeks as I was watching her leave without being able to stop her or even saying anything, I couldn't find my voice.
"Mom?" I barely whispered still crying. "Mom?" I asked again, that time louder, but she didn't turn. "Mom!" that time I exclaimed really hoping for her to look at me, but that woman just flew away a fast as possible.
Thanks for reading, let me know what you think,
Ayrin
