I opened my eyes confused, looking at my mother with some fear at the possibility that I could hurt her as a result of the kryptonite, but without being able to avoid smiling when she smiled at me caressing my hair.
I looked at my surroundings only to find Alex there as well, but without a trace of my brother, which made me return to look at my mother.
"How are you?" Asked Alex approaching.
"Good" I whispered seeing her smile slightly.
"In that case, you're free to leave whenever you want, okay?" She said making me nod as she left indicating to look for her in case something happened.
"Where is Mon-el?" I asked directly as I stood up.
"They found another Worldkiller" my mom started talking, brushing the hair off my face. "Right now he's in the Legion ship with J'onn and Winn trying to fix it" she explained making me lower me head, he had not even made sure if I was well to be able to focus on leaving.
I could not stop the tears from sliding down my cheeks making my mother to hug me in an attempt to calm me down, but not without being able to get it, I could not lose him, I could not let him go away again.
"Hey, honey, your brother loves you, don't forget that" she grabbed my face between her hands, forcing me to look directly into her eyes. "I'm sure it's hard for him to leave you behind again, to lose you again, but he has a mission to do and must do it," she explained, drying my tears at the same time that I dared to agree, because that was true, but it did not prevent the fact that I felt that way, since I had always needed him by my side and that was not going to change now.
"The ten year old girl looked at her mother trying to foresee her movement, knowing that because of the answer she had just given she was going to be repressed, so she waited for her to do it.
Sure enough her moter slapped her, throwing her to the ground because of the force, getting her to try to swallow her sobs for not wanting to complicate things, without even daring to look at her.
"Why have you done it, Mother?" It was his brother's voice who got her to raise her head. "She's just a kid" he commented bending down beside her.
"She has to follow some rules and she knows it" their mother explained.
"Come here, Mya" he stretched his arms towards her to hold her.
She buried her face in her brother's shoulder at the exact moment she started crying, not worrying about having to hold on for longer, hugging him as if her own life depended on it.
"Shh, calm down, little one," he hugged her tightly, feeling her grip on his shirt. "She's not going to hurt you again, Mya, I promise," he stroked her hair.
Her sister only sobbed loudly as he sat on the bed, repositioning her to continue holding her, watching as she slowly calmed down, closing her eyes.
"You're tired" pushed back the hair that fell on her face "Go to sleep, little one" he whispered watching her eyes opening.
"Don't leave me alone, please, Mon-el" she begged looking directly into his eyes.
It broke his heart to hear her say it that way, feeling guilty for all those times she had claimed his attention and he had ignored her, because he was too busy doing so.
"Never, Mya," he dried her tears watching as she smiled slightly and closed her eyes again.
In just a few minutes he felt his sister's body relax completely, indicating that she had fallen asleep, so he laid her on the bed moving to tuck her before caressing her hair.
"I adore you, little one" he kissed her forehead promising himself that from then on, no one would hurt her. "
I began to calm down with my head resting on her shoulder, at which point she separated me from her again to look at my face again.
"Do you want to go see him?" She asked me to what I could not say no. "Okay, if something happens, let me know, okay?" She kissed my forehead while I smiled slightly.
I entered the interior of the ship without being sure of where I was going to find him, however, I could not help but stop in the corridor when I heard him speak, bringing my hands to my mouth when I heard him say that, because the truth is that it was hard to believe that it was true, well, who I wanted to cheat, is not that I was surprised.
I waited to find him alone inside one of the rooms, knowing that he would need someone to talk to, someone he would trust enough to be himself.
"Is it true?" I asked the moment the door closed behind me, watching the confusion on his face. "I have heard the conversation you've had with J'onn" I explained making him bend his head at the same time he sighed. "I also know that feeling, Mon-el" I whispered approaching him, leaning on the table he was working. "A couple of days after ... That, I asked about Zale ..." I had to swallow before speaking. "Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting, after all, it was as if part of me had the hope that he hadn't died." I ducked my head, tears gathering in my eyes. "Today, months later, it still hurts to think that he isn't here and I know ... I know I can overcome him and continue with my life, but believe me when I tell you that I will never be able to love someone like him, Why? I can't give you that answer, but I know," I explained daring to look into his eyes, noticing how he looked at me with pity at my words. "Mon-el, I'm not saying that your feelings for Imra aren't true, because they are. , but, perhaps, the fact that you returned here, at this time, to see Kara, the Kara that you remember, is what confuses you" I saw him shake his head while distancing himself a little from me.
"I have to go back to the future" I heard him murmured, which made me look at him for a few seconds.
"I know and I'm not asking you to stay" I assured, although I would love to ask him otherwise. "Sometimes you have to think about what your heart really wants and not what you think is reasonable" I advised getting him to look at me for a few seconds.
"When has my little sister grown so much?" he asked with a small smile, approaching to hug me. "Thank you, little one" he kissed my forehead.
I looked at him with a smile while his mobile vibrated, watching as he watched it for a few seconds before finally letting go.
"I must go, do you stay?" He asked me, to which I nodded slightly. "Well, I'll see you later" he said goodbye before leaving.
I went to where they, Imra and Brainy, were trying to fix the ship, feeling observed by both for a few seconds, mainly for her, knowing what she was doing, unable to hide anything from her.
They both returned their attention to what they were repairing, although when Brainy became desperate and left the room, I knew that Imra was going to ask me about what was happening, even though I could ask her the same questions, because there were rumors that indicated that she and my brother had been arguing, even I could have checked it the night before.
"Do you know something that I don't know?" She looked at me seriously.
"Even if I knew something, I'm not the one to say it," I answered, noticing how she nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you like that" she apologized. "I know he's hiding things from me and every time I ask him, he runs away" She explained. "I can't deny that he has feelings for Kara, but I wish he could trust me enough to tell me" she commented.
"Mon-el ..., it's complicated, normally it's hard for him to open up, but he will" I wanted to explain "Don't apologize, I understand the situation" I smiled slightly.
"Do you know where he is?" she asked me.
"At the DEO, Purity has escaped, they are trying to find her" I answered with full sincerity, seeing her nodding slightly.
I tried to help her rebuild that part of the machinery, but it was not totally simple, so after a while, after both of us gave up, I went back to the DEO, scaring me enough when I realized they were in the infirmary.
I did not hesitate to go there, being received by Kara, who hugged me for a few seconds before allowing me to go inside.
"What happened?" I asked. "Are you okay? Alex?" My gaze fell on her.
"Reign has taken Julia" Kara spoke. "We are all well, at least I think so" she said looking at me, which made me duck my head, my brother had also participated in all this. "What do you think if we have dinner today outside?" She asked to what I nodded expecting Alex to do the same.
"I never thought I was going to overcome the heartbreak, but I'm doing it" Kara said, choking myself with my own drink when I remembered my brother's words. "Hey, Mya, are you okay?" she asked patting my back making me nod repairing all the drink that I had just spit on the table. "I'm going to get something to clean it," she said before getting up.
"What do you know?" Alex asked me directly, which made me shake my head. "Mya ..., speak" she looked at me seriously.
"Mon-el..., let's say that he has recognized that he still has feelings for Kara and he's confused, he doesn't know what to do" I explained trying not to raise my voice to avoid that Kara could hear us.
"Is it true?" she asked, looking directly at me.
"The conversation has been and I know he was telling the truth," I replied, seeing how she sighed. "Her marriage to Imra was no more than a farce for her family to let her collaborate with the Legion, but eventually... they began to have feelings for each other" I started to explain "Kara was the first person he really fell in love, feelings that he didn't even understand and coming back here, seeing the Kara he remembers ..., is confusing and Imra seems to know something, they have discussed several times" I finished talking.
"Not a word to Kara about all this" Alex spoke, obviously afraid that my brother could hurt her sister again, but I could not help but nod, because I did not want to see Kara hurt again.
"I agree on that" I said nodding slightly.
