Hey guys! Okay, so I know I say this like all the time but you guys are the frickin' best! Just today, I got 200 views for this story and I was blown away. You guys are awesome! At the moment, I'm trying to upload a chapter for you guys everyday until I am finally on track for this story. It might take only this week, maybe more but expect a lot of chapter coming soon...
Before we get started on this chapter, I will tell you that due to the lack of scenes with Mon-El in 'Medusa', this chapter might be shorter than the others. As always though, I will try my best to add in any additional scenes that I can think of.
Without further ado, I give you chapter 6 of Mon-El vs. Earth!
****I DONT OWN ANYTHING. ALL CHARACTERS, DIALOGUE, CREDITS AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING BELONG TO THE CW AND THE WRITERS OF SUPERGIRL****
Chapter 6: Medusa / Medusa Made Me Do It
Mon-El was working out when the small electronic device that Kara had given him lit up and starting ringing. Mon-El dropped the weights and he ran over to the ringing machine. It took him a couple tries but the Daxamite managed to press the right button and Kara's voice soon came from the device.
"Hey Mon-El"
"Hi"
"Am I interrupting?"
"No, not at all. What is it? Is something wrong?"
"What? No. I just wanted to invite you to my Thanksgiving party at my apartment."
"A party? I'm in" Mon-El answered
"Great! Could you bring some stuffing, we kind of need it tonight"
From my bed? Don't I need that to sleep. Oh well, whatever
"Yeah sure, no problem"
"Awesome! I'll see you soon!" Kara said before the phone beeped, meaning that she had ended the call.
As soon as Kara hung up, Mon-El ran to his bed, tearing it open and spilling its contents onto the floor before picking it up and placing it into a bag. If Kara wanted stuffing, he was going to give her the most stuffing he could offer. Mon-El had heard of this 'Thanksgiving' and knew that it was a pretty big deal on Earth. So Mon-El jumped into the shower, which the Daxamite had learnt is the word people on Earth used to call the spout that cleaned his body with water, and changed into clothes that he deemed appropriate for the event.
Once he had changed into the dress shirt and red tie, he ran out of the DEO and to the first flower shop he found. Giving flowers to someone, he learnt, was a very polite and nice thing to do for someone. When Mon-El walked into the shop, he saw a bright bundle of yellow flowers. They reminded him of Kara, how bright and happy they looked. So he grabbed them and paid for them before rushing out of the store and to Kara's apartment, now carrying his bag of stuffing and the flowers he had just bought.
Mon-El practically flew up the stairs as he was running so fast. He hadn't seen Kara since a couple days ago when they went for a drink together and the Daxamite was eager to see his Kyptonian friend. When Mon-El arrived at Kara's door, he knocked and the door swung open.
"Jolly Thanksgiving!" he exclaimed
"Thanks! Thank you, and it's 'Happy Thanksgiving.'" Kara replied as she took the bag of stuffing from him
"Oh, right. Happy..."
Jolly is for that holiday with the man in the red suit that gave out presents overnight. I have to remember that
"What's this?" Kara asked looking into the bag
"Oh, that? You asked for stuffing. So I ripped open my mattress and pulled some out."
"Oh, uh, well, that's not quite what I meant."
Oh whoops
"Kara, is this your friend from Daxam you were telling me about?" a woman with blonde hair said as she approached them
"Yes! Um, this is my adopted mother..."
"Dr. Danvers! It is an honor and a privilege." Mon-El said as he shook her hand, another polite thing Mon-El had recently learnt on Earth
"Please, call me Eliza."
"Eliza. Well, Kara tells me that you're a brilliant scientist. That must be riveting. I have to hear about this science. What is science?" Mon-El asked as he gave the woman the flowers he had been carrying and walked off talking to Eliza about 'science'. Most of what Eliza had explained to him had been hard to grasp and understand but he was simply talking to her because he was Kara's mom. Making a good impression on her, would help him getting closer to Kara.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered around the table, which was covered with food, and sat in their seats.
"Kara, will you do us the donors?" Eliza asked
"Oh, yes. Okay. Okay. So, it is a Danvers family tradition that, before the meal, we go around and we say what we're thankful for, so..."
"Ah!" they all said in unison
"Whoever wants to go first..."
"I wanna go first." James said standing up "Kara, I for one would like to say how thankful I am to have such an understanding friend."
"Oh, he's right. You are so understanding." Winn interjected
"You are."
"No, she's not." Alex objected
"Yes, she is."
"No, she's not."
"Uh... Yeah, I just wanna... I just wanna say something. I'm also thankful for you, Kara, um... Because not only are you understanding, but you're also gracious." Mon-El said standing up from his seat, looking over at the blonde with the beautiful blue eyes that he couldn't stop dreaming about for the past week. "Out of everybody who could have found me in that pod, I'm the luckiest guy in the world that it was you."
"I'm just going to jump in and say there are so many things that I'm thankful , honestly, I don't think I've ever really felt this much like myself than right now, and so there's a reason for that reason... Well, that reason is..." Alex said
Suddenly, a blue portal thing appeared right above the table and everyone jumped back in surprise
"Does that normally happen on Thanksgiving?" Mon-El asked
After that weird scenario, everyone had actually really enjoyed the Thanksgiving meal that Kara had planned. Throughout the entire event, Mon-El tried to steal as many glances as he could at Kara. He couldn't stop thinking about her and that warm fuzzy feeling he got when he was around only grew stronger in his chest the more time he spent with her.
The next day passed in a blur, Mon-El hadn't been able to find a job since Kara lectured him about his last one. An experience that he didn't want to have ever again. As per usual after a long day, the Daxamite found himself in the alien bar.
The bartender slid his drink down the bar and he caught it taking a big gulp of the beverage
"Wow. You must be a regular here. So, are you looking for some company? I am very good company." a pretty alien said as she took a seat next to the Daxamite
"Yeah, I'm sure you are. And I actually am looking for company, but with someone else." Mon-El answered
"Ah!"
"I'm sorry, excuse me." Mon-El said as he looked over the woman shoulder at a man who looked exactly like J'onn. Mon-El got up from his seat and followed the man outside
"J'onn!" the Daxamite called out as soon as he arrived outside.
The man removed his hood and turned around but the man who stood in front of Mon-El was not J'onn. Half of his face was a machine and the last time Mon-El saw J'onn, which was this morning, he did not have half of a robotic face. This must've been Hank Henshaw, the real one.
Hank swung at Mon-El hitting him many times with several punches and pushing him into a gate, which fell over, along with him. Mon-El got up to his feet and managed to hit Hank once but he was hit once again and this time, thrown into a dumpster. By the time Mon-El had removed himself from the now damaged dumpster, people were running out of the bar.
Mon-El ran into the bar
"Hey, what happened?" he asked one of the bartenders
"They're dead! All the aliens are dead!" she replied before running out of the bar.
Mon-El immediately, grabbed his phone from his pocket and dialled the DEO. Within seconds, everyone was at the bar escorting him back to the DEO.
When they returned to the large building, they had placed him in the cell they had first put him in when he arrived on Earth.
"Is this really necessary?" Mon-El asked from inside his cell "I feel fine. I could do 1,000 push-ups one-handed."
"While that's very impressive, we can't risk you transmitting whatever you were exposed to in the bar to the rest of us." J'onn replied
"Which begs the question, what the hell was he exposed to?" Alex said
"Tell us what happened again." Kara said
"I already... I told you guys... I saw you. But not you, the real you, the original Hank Henshaw. I followed him outside, we fought and I lost. And then I heard the screams" he said pausing for a moment "If I hadn't followed him outside, I could have stopped this."
"The only reason you're still alive is because you chased Hank Henshaw outside." Kara replied
"I have never heard of a weapon, bio or otherwise, that can target only alien physiology. And that thing killed everything in that bar except human beings. I would like to bring my mother in to help analyze the crime scene. She specializes in astrobiology, I think she could really help." Alex said
"That's a good idea."
"Great, let's get going." Kara said, walking off
"No, no, no, no, no, no. You and I will remain quarantined here at the DEO until we can figure out exactly what sort of toxin we're dealing with."
"J'onn, this is Cadmus. I know it. They're planning something." Kara objected
"My alien sister is not leaving here until we figure out how Cadmus was able to target only aliens. It's better safe than sorry." Alex said and after she finished, everyone in the room knew that there was no changing her mind
Being quarantined in the DEO, Mon-El and Kara had nothing fun to do. At some point during their boredom, Kara had suggested that they play 'Monopoly', a popular game on Earth. They had gone through several rounds of it, Mon-El had bought many homes all over the piece of cardboard.
"Oh, crap." Kara said as she moved her piece
"Aw, sucks for you. My turn. I mean, please." Mon-El said. Kara rolled the die and moved Mon-El character across the board
"And you're in jail." she said jokingly
"That feels appropriate." he said looking around in his cell
"You'll be out of here soon enough. Both of us will. So don't pout." Kara replied as Mon-El made a little pouty face and she laughed.
"Hey, you don't, uh... You don't like me, do you?" Kara asked suddenly
"Of course I like you."
"No, I mean, like, you don't "like me" like me?"
"'Like you' like you?" Mon-El asked confused as to what she was asking him "Sorry, English is my second language."
"My mom, Eliza, she... She thought you were being extra nice to her on 's like a thing that boys on this planet 're nice to the moms of girls they have crushes on sometimes." Kara explained, although none of it had helped the poor Daxamite
"'Crush'? Sorry, I'm not following."
"You don't want to mate with me, do you?" Kara blurted out.
Crap she knows didn't she? Oh maybe she's just kidding... Just play it cool Mon-El. the Daxamite told himself
"Um... I mean, have you seen the women that I've been attracting, earthlings and otherwise, since I've been on this planet?" he said as he chuckled
"Uh-huh, thank you for the clarification." Kara said.
Mon-El coughed and his chest began to hurt
This feeling in his chest, it isn't the warm feeling he usually got when he was around Kara. This time it hurt. Suddenly, everything began to go black as he collapsed
"Mon-El! Oh, Mon-El!"
"Automated voice: Warning! Containment breach." the security system said as Kara let herself into his cell
"Hey! Hey!" she yelled at him
"Warning! Containment breach." the system went on
"Hey! Hey! Stay with me! Stay with me!" Kara shouted holding Mon-El's limp and weak body
"Warning! Containment breach."
"Help!" Kara screwed was the last thing Mon-El heard before losing complete consciousness.
Mon-El woke up in one of the beds in the medical room and saw Kara sitting at his bedside. Even then, she looked as beautiful as ever.
"Hey." he murmured
"Hey."
"Did you learn a new power where you can duplicate yourself? Because I'm seeing two of you and it's really cool." he said groggily
"No." she laughed, there is was again. Her laugh, the one that has haunted him for what felt like ages now "No, sorry. No new powers. Just... I think the double vision is all you."
"Oh, so I have a new power?"
"Yeah."
"Your Earth mother, Eliza, she thinks I'm dying. I might not have your hearing, but mine's pretty good."
"She's gonna find a cure." Kara reassured him
"It's okay. I've, uh... I've cheated death more times than anyone should." Mon-El replied as he sat up on the bed
"It's not okay, you shouldn't be dying. The only reason you are dying is because of my family."
"Eliza did her best." he said, not wanting Kara to look as upset as she did now
"No. Not her. My birth father created Medusa. He's the reason you are in so much pain, and he's the reason that I can't do anything about it."
"You know, you look beautiful, with the weight of all these worlds on your shoulder." he murmured quietly. Mon-El wasn't lying, Kara's hair formed around her face perfectly, and her eyes. Her eyes were so blue, they were dazzling, like bright blue stars. He could get lost in them forever
"You don't have to make me feel better." Kara said
Mon-El knew what he had to do. If he was going to die, he wasn't going to die letting himself not do the thing h wanted to do the most. So, he leaned in and kissed her. Her soft lips against his. In that moment, it was like the world had stopped, just for a little bit, before he pulled away and lay back down on the bed
"Yeah. Absolutely beautiful." he said before drifting back off to sleep, accepting the fact that he may never see Kara and her dazzling eyes ever again.
At least I did it. I kissed Kara Zor-El.
When Mon-El woke up, he almost believed that he was gone. Dead and up in heaven.
"Am I dead? Is this heaven?" he asked as he looked around the room
"No. We were able to reverse engineer a cure from a living sample of the virus." Eliza said from his beside
"And when my mother says 'we', she really means 'she.'" Alex said "But Winn and I watched enthusiastically."
"While this is good news, it gets even better. The Medusa virus was so easily weaponized I was able to turn it against a common enemy, J'onn's White Martian blood cells." Eliza continued as J'onn walked into the room as healthy as a Green Martian could be
"J'onn!" Kara exclaimed "You look great!"
"I feel great. Thank you, Eliza." J'onn said
"My pleasure."
Mon-El sat up onto the side of his bed as Kara walked over to him
"I'm so glad you're okay."
"Yeah. Me, too. I don't know what you would have done without me." he replied which made them both chuckle
"So, are we gonna... Talk about what happened?"
"Yes. Yes, I want to hear all about how you chased that missile down." Mon-El said
"No, I mean, are we gonna talk about what happened between us while you were dying?" Kara corrected herself
"I... What? What happened? What did I do?"
"Uh... You drooled." Kara answered
"I... No." Mon-El laughed at the thought.
"You drooled all over yourself."
"That's bad. But, that, that was... That was it?"
"Yeah, that was it."
"Okay."
"Well, get some rest." Kara said before walking out of the room. Min-El's eyes followed her out and regretted the decision that he had just made.
Maybe I can fix that. I'd just have to wait for the perfect moment.
That's it! Okay, so I admit it. This chapter was actually pretty long. Anyways, I'm really surprised that I was able to write this so quickly. If I'm lucky, you guys will have many more chapters to come!
