Hey guys! I'm just going to go right out and say it... Unfortunately, I've noticed that ratings on views of this story have gone down drastically, and I'm not blaming it on you guys because those of you who have been sticking with me for a while I owe a lot to. At the moment, I'm thinking that the reason that my views have gone down is due to the amount of added scenes in my story. I'm sorry if I lack creativity or scenes in certain chapters and it is entirely my fault. To be honest with you guys, I've been suffering from quite a bit of writers block but I'm trying my best to get the most out of every episode and create a new chapter from it.
I believe that some of you should be given a shoutout for staying around and following this story so here goes.
Thank you to ArTeMuS09, Chandra3228, Stephany Zor - El, emara32, ukez15 and LinaOlivia, for being willing to receive notifications for this story and reading its good and bad chapters. You guys mean the world to me.
Anyways, I'd like to finally give you... chapter 13 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 13: Exodus / Exodus Nearly Killed My Girlfriend
Previously on Mon-El vs Earth
"You don't need to…" Mon-El said but Kara had already picked up her phone
"Winn, did you figure out what Jeremiah stole from the DEO computers?" she said into the phone "Okay, I'm coming in."
"Hey, what? What is it?" he asked
"Cadmus has the list of all the aliens in the country." she answered
"Well, what do we do?" Mon-El asked
"We get up." Kara said as she got off the couch and began to walk to her front door
"Yeah, we do." he said as he followed her up and out of the apartment
For the next couple of days, the DEO's man focus was to track down Cadmus and the national registry that they had stolen. Since Winn's call to Kara, aliens all over National City began to disappear. They hadn't been able to find Cadmus' location or their purpose to kidnapping the aliens and more importantly, what they were going to do with them.
Like the previous days, Mon-El, Kara, Alex, Winn and J'onn met in the main hall of the DEO after receiving another alert of aliens gone missing. This time it was a family of three. A father, mother and daughter.
"That's the 20th abduction since Cadmus got the alien registry" Kara stated as she stared at the large screen displayed in front of them
"And they're escalating. Getting more aggressive. Are we any closer to finding out where Cadmus is takin them?" J'onn said
"Or what they want? 'Cause that is the trillion dollar question" Mon-El added
"It's million dollar question, buddy." Winn said to the Daxamite
"Really? That low?" Mon-El said surprised
"Yes, and um, 'no' on all counts. Um, I mean I've monitored traffic cams, sat depends, cell phone chatter, uh... Maybe Jeremiah taught them how to avoid our radar" Winn answered J'onn's question
"From now on Jeremiah Danvers is an enemy combatant" J'onn said
That doesn't said very good
"What does that mean?" Mon-El asked curiously
"It means, if found, he's to be arrested on sight. That's not a problem, is it?" J'onn said, the final question clearly directed to Alex
"Of course not." the eldest Danvers sister answered
"Good." J'onn responded simply
"Well we have to let all these aliens know. They need to be able to protect themselves." Kara said
"I volunteer to tell everybody at the alien dive bar." Mon-El said, thinking that even though it won't do much, the aliens in that bar did like to talk... a lot
"But it's not enough to just let all the aliens in the bar know. There are hundreds more on that list." Kara said "Can you issue a statement?" directing her question to J'onn
"Not without compromising the DEO. We're off the books for a reason." J'onn answered
"So do it ano-ano-min-min-ously." Mon-El responded sounding a lot less cooler than it did in his head. Mainly because of the fact that he was able to say the Earthly word in his mind
"If we do it 'anonymously,'" Kara corrected "no one will take us seriously. But they might listen to CatCo. I'll write an article, get it on the front page." Kara suggested
"You think Snapper would run that?" Alex asked
"Yeah, of course. Absolutely." Kara answered, but it didn't sound all too convincing.
Luckily for Mon-El, work didn't need him as much. Yes, he did pop in once in a while to serve some drinks but the bar was now quiet and much less busier than before, so they didn't need as much help as they used to. However, the Daxamite felt like it was about time to come in and work a few shifts.
Honestly, Mon-El thoroughly enjoyed his job. It's true, the pay wasn't as good as other jobs but he liked interacting with others. Bartending, surprisingly, was a very satisfying thing to do.
As he poured and mixed drinks, the Daxamite had plenty of time reflecting on his own life. He had already established that his life on Earth had gone from complete hell to the best thing he could imagine. He now had everything he thought he could never have, a great girlfriend, a decent and fun job, friends.
By the time Mon-El had finished his shift, he had heard so many stories about the missing aliens and the suspicious and cautious ones who were imagining how their captivity and kidnapping would look like. It wasn't a laughing matter but some of the stories that these guys came up with were so ridiculous, it was hard not to start laughing at them.
For the next couple hours, Mon-El spent his time in the training room dodging lasers from the simulator that Kara had used on him when first training him. When he went back upstairs, he didn't realize how dark it had become outside until he walked into the main hall and glanced outside the window. The street lights laminated the busy streets but his attention was quickly diverted to Winn as the smaller man marched in yelling something along the lines of 'Lyra is dead.' and 'How am I gonna get her back?'. Mon-El, deciding that there was nothing better to do, continued to watch the scene that Winn was making.
"I should've gotten there sooner. I mean, if these guys hadn't come in then I would've" Winn groaned frustratingly
"We'll get her back, Winn." Alex reassured the young man
"You don't know that, okay? We don't know anything, all right?" he yelled back
"Hank, are you sure you can't get anything from this guy?" James asked J'onn, but the man simply replied with
"Cadmus must've found a way to shield his thoughts from we will find something, always do."
"Everything I've tried, it's led to nothing. And if they hurt her, your father, I'm sorry, but this is his fault." Winn angrily said to Alex
Wow. I have never seen Winn this mad before. He's usually the optimistic, reassuring guy.
"Agent Schott." J'onn shouted, interrupting the fuming genius
"Hey, uh... Winn, you know what you need right now?" Mon-El said, stepping into the situation
"If you say 'a drink,' I swear, I-" Winn replied
"Oh, I was going to say 'deep breath,' but that is a much better idea.'Cause Zakarian Ale always takes the edge off. I'm gonna go get a bottle." the Daxamite replied
Mon-El went out to the alien dive bar to grab a bottle of the Zakarian Ale that he had said he would get, but when the Daxamite returned to the DEO, no one wanted to drink. It made a bit of sense since they were all working and had to stay focused, and more importantly, not drunk, to track down Cadmus and the missing aliens.
The next few days went by quickly. Occasionally, Mon-El would head into the bar, chat to a few of the regulars, maybe work a couple shifts but nothing exceptional would happen during his days, except when he would return to Kara's apartment and they would give each other a quick kiss before watching a movie on her couch.
That night, after a long shift at the alien bar, Mon-El swung open the white door and walked into Kara's apartment.
"Kara, I'm home!" he exclaimed in a silly tone, imitating the couples in some of the movies that they had watched together "I just...I love saying it like that." he added as he closed the door behind him and glanced at Kara, who sat at the kitchen table in front of her laptop, looking rather serious and unhappy, might he add. "Hey, come on, not even a smile? What is it? What's going on?" Mon-El said before he leaned down and gave Kara a quick peck on the lips
"I'm trying to decide whether I should blog my article myself." Kara answered
"Well, what happens if you blob it?" the Daxamite asked curiously
"Blog." she corrected
"Right, that's what I said, blob." Mon-El replied "Will Snapper get mad or something?"
"Uh, big time. Yeah." she answered, sounding rather sure and scared of her answer
"Okay, well, think fast. Do you think it's the right thing to do? Go." he asked
"Yes. I do." Kara responded
"Well, there you go. Then publish it. Easy." Mon-El said to his partner
What choice was there to make? If you think that you're doing the right thing than there should be nothing stopping you from doing it. Mon-El thought
"But how can you be so sure?" she answered worriedly
"Because you are the most moral person I know. So if you think it's the right thing to do, it is." the Daxamite assured her
"I..." Kara hesitated, looking for words to say
"Do it."
"Uh..."
"Just push the button. Push the button." Mon-El urged
"Okay." she said as she pressed the tiny button on her keyboard "It's blobbed."
"There you go. Way to blob, babe." he said as he kissed her on the side of her head
"Ugh!" Kara grunted as her phone began to ring
"Let me get some chow." Mon-El said as he opened up the fridge, glancing at its interior for some food to eat
"Lena?" Kara said into her phone
Lena? Why would Lena be calling Kara, at this time especially.
"Lena? Lena?" Kara spoke into the phone
Oh no
"Somethings wrong" Kara said as quickly hung up the phone
"Go. She needs you" Mon-El said and she nodded in response before she flew out the window, already changed into her suit
It didn't take long for Mon-El to realize that the situation at the moment was more than just the incident with Lena Luthor on the phone. Hurriedly, the Daxamite ran over to the DEO, where alarms blared loudly throughout the entire building.
"Report! Detecting spacecraft launch on a hyperbolic trajectory." Winn said as he rapidly typed on his computer
"What is it?" Mon-El asked as he examined the screen in front of him, showing a map and a large dot, which no doubtfully was the spacecraft launch.
"Cadmus. Gotta be" Winn answered, moments before his phone rang. Quickly, the young man picked up his phone and said "Ugh! Uh, hey, Alex, can I call you back? We got an undetected launch-What?!" he exclaimed before pressing a few buttons, putting Alex on speaker, and held out the phone to J'onn
Uh oh. This ain't good
"Not a drill. Once this ship breaches atom, it's gonna jump to light speed." Alex said
"So we need to stop it before it gets to space." Mon-El answered as he watched the screen from the corner of his eye
"I'll never get there in time." J'onn said
"Uh, plan B. This is a Hoshin frigate, so-so walk me through landing it." the older Danvers sister said
"Okay, give me a second." Winn said, rushing over to another computer
"Winn!" Mon-El exclaimed, extremely worried
"Okay, it, got it! Uh, okay, try toggling the switch next to the control yoke and that should put you back in manual control and then I can take it from there." Winn intructed
"Two minutes." J'onn announced
"Nothing's happening. The ship is still picking up speed." Alex replied
"We need to slow it down." Mon-El responded
"I'm here.I can slow it down." Kara said through the comms
Oh thank Rao
"Supergirl." Alex sighed but she was interrupted by loud beeping from the ships system "Winn? The screens just lit up red! What's going on?"
"Counter-measures." J'onn informed
"Okay, they just registered Supergirl as a threat and they're trying to target-lock." Winn answered Alex's question
"Supergirl, keep moving!" Mon-El said into the comms. He couldn't afford losing her, again.
Kara grunted in pain, probably from one of the ships shots
"Are you okay?" Winn asked worriedly
"I'm all right. I'm-" Kara began but she was interrupted by another blast and Kara's symbol on the screen suddenly disappeared
"Winn?" Mon-El asked, anxious
"Supergirl!" Winn cried out, attempting to reach out to the heroine
"It's all right, it's all right, she just lost her comms." J'onn said calmly
How could he be calm at the moment? We don't know what's going on up there
The screens in front of Mon-El continued to show signs that the spacecraft hadn't been stopped yet, and its speed increased, heading further out of Earth's atmosphere. Luckily, they still had Alex on call
"Alex, in 20 seconds, the ship will be on the other side of the universe." Winn yelled to her through the phone
"It's up to her now." Alex said but seconds kept passing and time was running out
It was only a matter of seconds before Alex, Kara and the other aliens would be too far from reach and to Rao knows where, when the ship's icon on the screen suddenly stopped moving.
"She did it? She did it!" Winn exclaimed in joy as he wrapped Mon-El in for a hug
That's my girl Mon-El thought as he glanced at the screen and the still icon
The next day, even though they wanted to have a day off, both Mon-El and Kara had to go out and work.
Mon-El had only worked an hour before his phone began to ring in his pocket. He quickly glanced at the screen and after seeing Kara's face displayed, he pressed the green button and held the phone up to his ear
"Hey what's up?" he said
"I-I-I" Kara said
"Kara what is it?" the Daxamite asked worriedly
"Snapper. He-he" she said into betweens sobs
"What's wrong?"
"Snapper. He-he fired me"
"What?!" he exclaimed "Why?"
"He found out about my article" Kara explained, sadness clear in her voice
"Kara. I don't know what to say... I'm sorry." he said
How could Snapper do this to her? She was one of the best reporters at Catco and he just tossed her out like a piece of garbage. She deserves to be treated better than that.
"Is there anything that I can do?" Mon-El asked "I can probably get someone to take over my shift and we can go out and do something. Or-"
"No. Mon-El you just started getting back into work. Those regulars need you."
"But-"
"I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay then. Call me if you need anything 'kay?"
"Yup"
"Bye" Mon-El said as he was about to press the button on his phone
"Wait Mon-El?" Kara suddenly said
"Yes?"
"Do you think maybe you could buy some food on your way back?" Kara asked kindly
"Anything for you." Mon-El simply answered
"Thanks. Bye" Kara said
"Bye" the Daxamite replied before a 'ping' came from his phone, meaning that their call had ended.
Mon-El continued working until night had fallen. His arms were tired from all the pouring and mixing and serving and he had heard so many stories from the drinkers that he couldn't remember which one was who's. As much as he loved his job, working an 9 hour shift nearly killed him and he couldn't wait to get back home.
The Daxamite quickly grabbed his stuff, which wasn't much, just his jacket, phone and wallet, before taking off. He had almost reached the apartment when he remembered that he had told Kara that he would get dinner for them. Quickly, he phoned Kara's favourite take out restaurant and ordered her favourite comfort food, pot stickers. As soon as the paper bag was handed to him, he ran out of the restaurant and headed to their apartment.
Once he reached the apartment, he knocked on the white wooden door. He heard shuffling from the other side before it swung open, with Kara standing in the doorway
"Potstickers. Still piping hot. Here eat one." he said as he handed her the paper bag as he placed a gentle kiss to her lips "Or all of them. I promise you'll feel better."
"Ah, I don't know." she murmured unsure
"Hey-Hey, you're gonna get another job." Mon-El assured her
"Yeah, but I-I don't want another is my calling. I help people." Kara replied as she took a seat at her dinner table
"Yeah? You know who else does?" he said as he knelt next to her
"Who?" she asked
"Supergirl." he answered
"Mmm."
"Yeah."
"Yeah it's just when I write, I don't need a yellow sun it's just me . Supergirl iswhat I can do. Kara is who I am." she said to him "I really loved that job."
"Hey." he said, grabbing her attention "You have so much to offer this world. So don't let Snapper or anyone else tell you differently. Okay?" he said to her reassuringly, which granted him a small but passionate kiss from the blonde
"You know something?" she said
"What?" he asked
"Maybe being Supergirl and having you is enough." she said
"You think so?" he whispered
"Yeah." she simply answered before they kissed again.
"I hope so." he said against her lips and she chuckled in response before leaning in to kiss her once more.
This was it for him. He really did seem to have it all, and for the first time, it seemed like nothing could take his happiness away from him. No Mxyzptlk, no other guys... nothing.
...or so he thought
Anyways, that's it! I'm honestly really sorry that it took me so long to get this chapter to you guys. And it is such a short chapter as well. Regardless of its length, I hope you guys enjoyed it.
I completely brain farted and forgot that for the crossover between Supergirl and the Flash (which I will be writing chapters for) isn't one episode. What was I thinking? I know...
So, I wanted to let you guys know that the next chapter will be divided into two parts, one for 'Star-Crossed' and the other for 'Duet'.
Just to give you guys an update on the next few chapters. I've already started the first part of the crossover chapter and am beginning to plan out the second. At the moment, I'm aiming to give you guys the chapters based on 'Star-Crossed', 'Duet', and 'Distant Sun' by the end of the hiatus (which ends on April 24th).
