He kept his sister in that position until he felt that his sister was becoming a dead weight, which indicated that she had fallen asleep with her face buried in his neck, at which point he changed the position in which he was holding her, passing one arm on the back and the other below her knees, allowing her to rest her head on his chest.
"Has she fallen asleep?" He heard Imra ask, so he turned to her, while nodding. "They have agreed to take Kara to the ship," she explained to what he nodded.
Indeed, at the time when everything was ready, they moved her there, introducing her into one of the pods that would be able to keep her alive until all her wounds were healed.
He went to one of the few rooms in that ship that had a bed, with the intention of lying his sister down there and allowing her to continue sleeping, however, Mya seemed to sense that, because she grabbed his shirt to prevent him from separating her of him, so he ended up lying with her, not wanting her to wake up.
Hours passed until her sister faced the courage to let him go, which allowed him to sit down, but he did not leave, refusing to leave her in the room she would not know when she woke up.
The first thing I found when I opened my eyes was my brother, who was watching me with concern, but at the same time expectant, as if I should react in some strange way, I soon understood. This was not a room of the DEO, it was much more futuristic than the bunks of the organization, so I had to suspect that we did not continue there.
"Where are we?" I asked finding my voice a couple of seconds after trying. "Kara?" The question was drowned in my throat only able to whisper.
"We are in the Legion ship" answered while I was trying to get up, waiting impatiently for the answer to my other question. "She's in a coma, in one of the pods here, it's what provides her life support" he tried to explain as if he did not want to alter me more than I already was, although he seemed to realize that the tears would soon begin to slide down my cheeks, for he embraced me.
I remained supported on him until I managed to calm down, asking him to see Kara, a fact that he denied me alleging that I should be calmer before he allowed me to do so, and despite wanting to debate it, I did not, because I did not have enough strength as to get some change.
Two days passed until he decided that I was sufficiently prepared to see her, although always following close behind.
"Hey, we are here" he communicated to the rest, recognizing all but one. "Mya, he is Braniac 5, well, Brainy" he pointed to him. "Brainy, this is my little sister, Mya" he introduced me.
I smiled shyly as I focused my attention on the capsule in front of me, watching Kara closely. I placed my hand on the glass as if I expected her to do the same, which, obviously, did not happen, which caused me to duck my head while holding back the tears.
It was my brother who, under the watchful eye of the others, hugged me with the intention of getting away from there, at which point I could not help but start crying.
"Everything will be fine" he tried to calm me down, but it did not stop me from crying. "Mya, sweetie, Kara is going to be fine, she's going to get out of this, okay?" he grabbed my chin looking me straight in the eyes, moment in which I realized what was happening, he knew it.
"Did you know this was going to happen?" I asked in just a trickle of voice.
"No, not exactly this way," he answered. "But I know she will survive, Mya, I can assure you that." He brushed the hair from my face before hugging me again. "Do you want to see the ship?" He asked, making me nod. truth is that I was curious as how it was, because during these last two days I had barely let me out of that room. "What do you think if you're going with Imra and then I reached you?" He asked while I looked at her, who seemed just as surprised as I was at the proposal, but ended up nodding and I, in spite of not being sure, I did the same thing. "Well, don't touch anything and pay attention to what she tells you" he warned me by making me nod slightly before I separated from him to get close to her.
I must admit that at first it was uncomfortable, because neither of us seemed to find the right words to speak, because, as with my brother, I had not talked to her for a long time, which was starting to make me nervous, because I was aware that she played with advantage, since she could read my mind. However, I was not sure if she was doing it or not, because even though I felt watched by her, she did not seem interested in wanting to discover what was going on in my head.
I stopped the moment I saw the small library they had in that room, moving towards it with curiosity, being sure that there would be much more information here than we had in Daxam, so I did not wait for Imra to give me any indication, taking the first book I found.
"When your brother said that you're curious, he wasn't wrong" she commented approaching getting me to raise my head to look at her before returning my attention to the book, trying to decipher what language it was, since I honestly did not know it. "I wrote it, it's about my planet" she explained at the same time that I watched as the letters changed to English. "Now you can read it" she offered it to me.
"Thank you" I whispered with a shy smile, observing the rest I had nearby. "What is this about?" I questioned taking it.
"Speak of ..., I don'tt know exactly, it's your brother's" she replied making me raise an eyebrow. "He wrote there at least once a week, he did it during the first years, the following ones were more spaced" she explained at the same time that I dared to open it, feeling like I was about to cry when I saw the daxanese all over the page.
"Can I read it?" I asked.
"I think that you should ask him" she answered.
"Mya, release that book" I heard him speak from the door, making me turn to him, but without letting it go. "Mya ..." he warned approaching.
"Why?" I asked, wanting an answer clear enough for me to put it back on the table.
"It's personal" he answered taking it from my hands, making me frown.
"What are you afraid of?" I questioned with a certain mockery.
"Nothing, it's just ... I don't want you to read it" he said still with the book in his arms.
I decided it was not worth it to insist, so after making sure that I could read Imra's book, I sat in a chair and prepared myself for it. It took me only an hour to finish it, discovering that her life had not been simple either, that her childhood was also marked by obligations. This book got me to understand that she had never been like this and that everything that made her weak at some point made her strong.
When I finished I got up and left in search of my brother, I ran into Brainy, who observed me curious, as I did to him, for a few seconds.
"Mon-el's little sister, what are you doing alone?" He asked me curious, which made me smile because of his way of asking.
"Trying to find him, do you know where he is?" I questioned.
"He's in the main control" he answered, getting me to look at him confused. "You don't know where it is, I accompany you" he made a gesture for me to follow him.
I followed him to the control, placing myself next to Alex, feeling as my brother watched me closely, although he did not dare to say anything, ending the conversation they were having at that moment. Still, I got to know that Brainy was entering into Kara's mind to help her wake up from her coma, but that no progress had been made in this regard beyond the anger she had.
On the other hand they discussed how to end with Reign, to weaken her, but my brother refused to participate, although I did not hear the reasons why he did it.
"Mya, sweetheart, do you want us to do something?" It was Imra who asked me and, although I was surprised, I ended up agreeing, following her until we found ourselves in the street, moment in which she turned to look at me. "Are you hungry?" She smiled when she saw me nod.
"Can we go to have an ice cream?" I asked in a whisper.
She nodded slightly hoping that I was the one to guide her, but, this time, I refused to go to that ice cream parlor, because I did not want to see him. We remained silent for much of the time, since I was only focused on eating the ice cream.
"Is there something that is worrying you, Mya?" She asked me, to which I ducked my head, she had read my mind.
"I want to help with Reign, I think I can do it" I whispered sincerely. "But Mon-el isn't going to let me, he's going to claim that I'm young and ..., maybe he's right" I looked at her.
"I also think you're ready, but you're right, your brother isn't going to want you to do it" whe said making me smile slightly, because she was the first person that had encouraged me to do it.
However, just as I had predicted, this conversation with my brother was like that, because he denied me the slightest possibility of helping, which made me angry at his lack of confidence in me, but he did not seem to flinch when I left that room, angry. Even so, I ignored his words and showed up just as Imra fell to the ground, noticing that my brother was inside a sphere of ice and J'onn had just fallen to the ground, so in these moments everything depended on me.
Reign watched me for a few seconds, as if she seemed to want to identify who I was supposed to be, but she barely gave me time to react when she attacked me with her heat vision, getting me to defend myself in the same way and, not that I had used it before, but I had seen Kara do it. However, I did not know how to stop using it, what only made the power increase and that, at one point, I could not control it easily.
I got her to finish looking away, but I knew that I had let myself go to the limit, because my knees gave way to my exhaustion, falling to the ground.
Fear seized me the moment I saw her approach, knowing that I could not defend myself, wanting to scream when her hand made the grip on my arm, she had fractured it. She threw me at the same time that I closed my eyes, wanting to be carried away by unconsciousness.
"Mya!" he shouted when he saw his sister hit the ground, making sure Kara was controlling the situation before being able to run to where his little sister was. "Mya?" he questioned waiting for an answer that did not arrive, finished by kneeling at her side to place his hand on her neck, she was still alive. "You have to wake up" he asked for it repairing for the first time in the fractured right arm and the cut above her eyebrow, not to mention the notable wounds in her clavicle.
"Is she okay?" He heard Imra ask.
"She's alive, wounded, but alive," he said at the same time that Kara joined them moments after Reign had left. "We have to take her to the DEO, Kara ...?" He turned to look at her while she interrupted him and was about to take the younger one.
After ensuring the status of Imra and J'onn returned to the DEO, truly concerned about the state of his sister, staying nervous, waiting for some information, but the truth is that it took at least an hour until Dr. Hamilton approached them. During this time Kara, Imra, J'onn and even Brainy had remained there, refusing to leave until it was known exactly what had happened, for they were all concerned about the scene they had seen.
"She's still unconscious, but she doesn't present any neurological damage, which is good" she started talking, relaxing him enough, his sister was fine. "His right arm is fractured, we had to immobilize him, she has several ribs fractured and she also has bruises and wounds, but they aren't important," she explained, although he could feel that there was still something else they did not know. "She lost her powers during the fight, we can't estimate how long she will be like this because the sun lamps don't seem to do much effect, it may take longer than usual" Dr. Hamilton spoke looking at all fo them before stopping at him. "You can enter to see hee, warn me when she wake up" she asked before leaving.
He nodded slightly before daring to walk into the infirmary, approaching the place where her unconscious sister lay, spending his time observing her. He dared to grab her left hand, grateful that it had not been worse, but feeling guilty for what happened.
Thanks so much for reading,
