She got loose her grip from Lena's hand the moment they walked inside CatCo, looking for her cousin, Kara's best friend when she started running exclaiming her cousin's name.
Kara was writing an article, but looking up with a wide smile, so she increased her speed, embracing at her cousin as tight as possible.
"Thanks for picking her up from school" Kara thanked Lena, once her cousin's best friend approached them.
"It's nothing, Kara, she's such a wonderful kid" the woman answered with a smile. "I can stay with her if you want, so you can finish it" Lena offered, but her cousin shook her head.
"No, it's okay, I'm almost done" her cousin smiled as she sat down beside her, seeing how Lena was about to leave.
"Lena" she called her cousin's best friend. "Could we have ice cream tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah, kiddo" Lena smiled as Kara shook her head once more.
"What is it with everyone wanting to spoil her?" Kara asked getting both of them to laugh. "Okay, I'll give you permission if I'm invited as well" her cousin looked at her, to what she nodded. "Yay!" the older kryptonian exclaimed.
"See you tomorrow, girls" Lena said goodbye before leaving.
For around forty minutes, she sat next to her cousin waiting for her to finish her article as she was doing her homework. However, when she finished and her cousin was still typing on the computer, she sat up and, even though she knew Kara wouldn't let her, she started walking while observing what everyone else was doing.
She walked inside James' office, standing tiptoe by the balcony, she loved the view of the city from up there, everything was so calmed that evening. She could spend hours standing there, just observing as she tried to imagine how would be everyone lifes.
"Hey, You must be Halley, right?" she heard someone ask, so she turned around to meet a young woman looking at her. "I'm Nia, your cousin is looking for you" the girl told her while offering her hand for her to hold.
She stared at the girl for a few more seconds before trusting her enough to hold her hand, so she could be guided to where her cousin was.
Kara sighed relived as they approached her, her cousin smiling slightly before pulling her into a hugged as if she was trying to confirm that she was fine.
"Thanks, Nia" her cousin said still hugging her. "Next time tell me before going somewhere, okay?" Kara pulled her away a little, making her nod. "I'll see you tomorrow, tell James about your article" her cousin smiled before grabbing her hand to start walking.
"Are we going to the DEO?" she asked once they were at the street, her cousin frowning.
"I..., it's late, kiddo" Kara finally answered.
"But you promised that we would talk with Mon-El" she complained.
"I did? I'm sorry, baby, but it's late and we still have to take Comet for a walk" her cousin told her as she frowned upset. "We can go tomorrow" Kara tried to make things a little bit easier, but she looked away anyway, mad.
It had been two weeks since she had talked with Mon-El, her cousin always postponing it because she was being a really more focused on her job than usual, mentoring a new girl, Nia, whom she had met earlier that day.
However, she wasn't sure if it was because Kara didn't want to talk to him or if it was because the superhero was handling a lot of things.
She didn't bother about saying any other word, just hoping for words to be true that time, she would have to wait until next day.
"Comet!" she exclaimed crouching the moment she saw the puppy running towards them. "Hi, boy, I've missed you" she embraced the puppy, who licked her face happily.
Comet was for sure getting bigger day by day and, even though he was still little, he had enough strength to knock her off to the floor, which got her cousin to laugh before helping her to get the puppy away so she could got up.
She loved taking Comet to a walk, how the puppy got excited about everything, being full of energy and super friendly whenever someone approached them to pet him, but most importantly, she loved to play with him at the park.
She closed her eyes the moment she started seeing through things, her head hurting as she realized that it was her x-ray vision, so she put her tiny hand on her eyes before walking to her cousin.
"Hey, What happened?" Kara asked kneeling in front of her, trying to remove her hand, but she refused to. "Did you hit your head or something?" her cousin was starting to panic as well as her, at that moment being able to see her hand's bones. "I need you to tell me what's wrong, baby" Kara finally managed to removed her hand from her eyes as she frown.
"Bones... X-ray vision..." she was sure that her words didn't make any sense, but she was really having a headache.
However, she didn't even know how her cousin understood what she was saying, being surprised when Kara grabbed her hand before taking Comet's leash and start walking.
After leaving the puppy at home, her cousin picked her up and flew them to the DEO, Alex voice echoing in her ears, guiding them into the med bay, where Kara sat her down on a stretcher, her eyes closed.
"Okay, this should help" Alex sighed while sliding a pair of glasses in her face. "Open your eyes, kiddo" the agent asked, so she did, everything was back to normal.
"It's always going to be like that?" she asked her cousin afraid of taking the glasses off.
"No, sweetheart, it's only until you can control it properly" Kara answered as she nodded slightly. "Well, I guess since we're here, you will be talking with Mon-El" her cousin told her.
"Really?" she questioned, being even more excited when her cousin nodded, not waiting any longer before jumping from the stretcher.
Brainy got everything ready, those minutes waiting for Mon-El to answer being completely endless, but smiling widely once she heard his voice on the other side of the device.
"Hi!" she exclaimed.
"Hey, kiddo, How are you? How was your day?" Mon-El asked, she could imagine him smiling.
"Good, we took Comet to the park" she answered excitedly. "I'm developing my x-ray vision!" she told him.
"That's cool, kiddo!" he exclaimed. "When are you starting to train with your cousin?" Mon-El questioned.
"Next week, probably" she shrugged her shoulders, not even knowing when they would start exactly.
"Mon-El!" she heard Winn scream.
"Okay, Halley, I need to go, I talk to you soon" Mon-El said in a rush, her heart beating so fast as she couldn't understand what was happening, but nodding as if he could see her.
She heard an explosion before she could answer, a few screams followed by some lower voices, whispers even, but not Mon-El's voice.
"Mon-El!" she called his name waiting for an answer, repeating it constantly, but not listening an answer. "No! No! We have to know if they're fine" she exclaimed wanting to stop Brainy from hanging up the call.
However, it was her cousin who approached her, embracing her tightly as she kept looking at Brainy, wondering what had happened and if the Legion of Superheroes were still alive.
"Do you think they're alive?" she asked pulling herself away from her cousin.
"Yeah, for sure" Kara answered. "We'll call them tomorrow, okay?" her cousin kissed her forehead as she nodded, she had to have faith.
"She's totally a mini you with the glasses" Lena commented after observing both cousins for a few seconds.
"She is" she smiled before staring at her cousin, who was eating her ice cream silently, not even paying attention to whatever they were saying.
She knew that Halley was still thinking about what had happened last day at the DEO, she was worried too, but trying not to show it, so her cousin would remain calmed.
"Can I go to the playground?" her cousin asked pointing at it, so she nodded.
"What's wrong?" Lena asked once Halley had left, so she looked at her not knowing what to answer. "Halley hasn't say a single word and she didn't even eat half of her ice cream" her best friend pointed out while showing her the ice cream.
"Mon-El gave her a device so they could communicate with each other" she started talking. "Yesterday while they were talking, something happened... An explosion, I guess" she shrugged her shoulders. "We lost communication and as far as Brainy has told me, he doesn't get to talk to them" she explained, Halley didn't know that yet.
"So she's worried, right?" her best friend looked at her kind of worried as well. "I'm sure they're fine" Lena smiled softly at her.
"I wish I could say that to Halley" she sighed. "But until we have some news, she's not going to be fine" she commented looking at the playground, smiling a little when she saw her cousin playing with other kids. "She has lost a lot and Mon-El..., if something happened to him..., I don't know how Halley would react" she closed her eyes not wanting to imagine that.
"She would recovered, she has a lot of people that love her, but most importantly, she has you" Lena told her trying to cheer her up, but it was difficult not to think about it.
She decided to change the topic of the conversation, at least try, because when she received a call from her sister asking her to go to the DEO because they have news about it, she did not hesitate to tell Halley and flew there.
Her cousin was anxious about knowing what had happened, asking repeatedly about it, but knowing that the news weren't the ones they were expecting, something bad had happened and she could tell by her sister's face that it was related to Mon-El.
"Winn, they're here" her sister said once they walked inside a room where Brainy was with the device.
"Yesterday there was an explosion, that's why we lost the communication" her best friend started to explain. "Mon-El is in a coma, he's inside one of the pods, but we're not even sure if he's gonna wake up" Winn explained, feeling how her heart dropped, but not knowing it was because of her feelings or cousin's face.
Halley's eyes were shining so brightly because of the tears that were being contained, her lower lip trembling as if the child was trying not to start crying, but her cousin broke down the moment she embraced her.
"Halley, kiddo, I'm so sorry" Winn said after hearing the child's sobs. "Sweetheart, I'm going to remind him that he needs to wake up to go back to you" her best friend told the seven year old.
"He will wake up, baby" she kissed her cousin's forehead. "I'll talk to you later, Winn" she said goodbye to him.
She kept Halley embraced as tight as possible, her cousin's face hiding in her neck as she felt her own tears starting to run down her cheeks, she hated to see her cousin like that.
She knew that the child was completely broken and she was too, she couldn't have thought about Mon-El dying while being in the future, so maybe because of that she was still hoping for him to be fine or maybe it was because she needed to show her cousin that everything would be fine.
"I don't want him to die, he can't..." Halley's voice cracked as a new sob escaped her lips.
"He won't, baby" she held her cousin's face. "He's going to be fine, we need to believe that he will wake up" she wiped Halley's tears before kissing her forehead and embrace her once again.
"Hope" her cousin murmured against her shoulder, what made her nodded, that's what they needed, hope.
Kara was flying back from D.C and Halley was playing at one of the rooms with Comet, everything was under control, at least it had been for the last few minutes, because when a loud alarm started sounding, Alex freezed in middle of the DEO.
"What is that?" she asked Brainy.
"It's a kryptonite contamination alarm" he answered as she held her breath for a few seconds before starting walking as fast as possible towards the room where Halley was.
"Find out where" she told him while trying to reach her sister. "Supergirl, we've got a kryptonite alert somewhere in National City, you're gonna need to stay back until we figure out what we're dealing with" she said through her comms.
"Alex" Brainy tried to interrupt her for the second time. "It's not just National City. It's everywhere" he told her.
At that moment she panicked, running, knowing that she didn't have a lot of time to react, closing her eyes the moment she found the seven year old laying on the floor unconscious, Comet barking as if he was trying to wake up the child.
"Call J'onn, tell him to find Kara" she asked Brainy while picking up the child.
The kryptonite was visible under the kid's skin, who was barely breathing, so she didn't lose so much time before deciding to take the child to Argo City, being that the only place where she believed that Halley would be totally safe.
"Alex?" She heard Clark asked once she went through the portal. "Oh, God, Halley!" he exclaimed. "What happened?"
"There's kryptonite all over the atmosphere" she answered letting him to hold the child. "We're still trying to find Kara" she told him, seeing worry all over his face.
"Are you going to bring her here?" he asked.
"That depends on how she is, if she's stable or not" she answered as he nodded keeping the seven year old close to him. "Take care of Halley, please" she asked.
She kissed the child's forehead, feeling sad about leaving her there, but knowing it was the only way to keep her alive and she knew that Kara would have only asked her to save the child.
She observed how her little sister was falling, J'onn trying to grabbed her, knowing that Kara would die if her body crashed on the ground, so it wasn't until the last second when she finally calmed down, J'onn was flying to the DEO with Supergirl in his arms.
How would she tell Kara that she had sent Halley to Argo?
Hi!
I think the next two-three chapters would be about small parts of the episodes, but I will be focusing a lot more on the last part of the season.
Thanks so much for reading, let me know what you think,
