I rested my head in my hands without wanting to continue listening to the discussion that Kara and my brother were having, in turn not wanting to listen to the words of Imra, who was trying to distract me from the whole situation. Still, it was not enough to not listen to their voices each acclaiming what was best for me, because Kara approved the idea of staying in the DEO, but my brother had even considered calling Clark to get me stay with him in Metropolis for a few days, at least until they had controlled the situation with the Wordkillers.
However, my opinion in all this did not matter, since when I made the attempt to speak they both ignored me and continued with the discussion. Although if there was something that was clear, is that I did not want to leave, because if they wanted to find me, they would do it and it did not matter if they hid me in the other side of the country, at least in the DEO I would be more protected.
"What's the matter?" I heard Clark ask, what made me hug Imra in an attempt to disappear, who had warned him?
Kara explained the situation before everyone gave their version close to what they really thought, noting how Clark was watching me through the glass and I was swallowing, it was obvious that all this was beginning to bother me.
He silenced them both before pointing to the place where I was, which made me duck my head because of the looks of concern from them, who remained silent for a few seconds before focusing again on a conversation, this time more quiet.
While my brother and Kara seemed to reach an agreement, Clark entered the room and, for a moment, I thought that Mon-el's proposal had been chosen.
"You can relax, you're staying here" he smiled at me trying to reassure me. "Now they are trying to decide where exactly" he explained making me nod slightly. "If something happens, let me know, okay?" he asked shortly before leaving.
I sighed looking at Imra, allowing her to hug me tightly as I tried to understand what Reign had meant by her words, although, honestly, the exact meaning did not matter, because the message was clear, I was in danger.
Imra increased the strength before caressing my hair, she seemed not to want to let me go, as if she was afraid I would disappear, but soon Brainy's words came back to my mind. It was logical that she might feel guilty if something happened to me, if she was forced to see how Mon-el lost his little sister as she lost her, so I could not blame her for wanting to protect me, give me a shelter between her arms.
She only separated when my brother and Kara ventured into the room, which meant they had made a decision about it.
"You're going to stay here, in the DEO, always watched," my brother said at the same time I nodded.
"I'm going to the apartment to bring you clothes and that, do you need me to bring you something else?" Kara asked me.
"The stuffed animal" I answered looking directly at my brother, because it was in his apartment.
"We'll be right back," he smiled before they both left.
I sat down in one of the chairs feeling myself watched by Imra, who chose to sit in front of me, so I looked at her for a few seconds before daring to speak.
"Brainy doesn't know how to keep secrets very well" I muttered getting her to look at me, understanding what I was referring to. "I'm so sorry," I whispered in the most sincere way I could. "I understand the importance of this mission for you, I hope you get it" I tried to smile slightly.
"Thanks" she smiled with pain reflected in her eyes. "Mya, don't lose the relationship you have with your brother or the one you have with Erin, do it for me" she asked me holding my hand.
"Could you tell me about her?" I asked without wanting to hurt her with my words, but I saw her smile slightly.
"I would love to" she replied.
It had been a couple of hours since he had let her sleep in one of the rooms of DEO and, although the fear that something might happen still remained there, everything seemed to go the way it should. However, he could not avoid approaching to see if she needed something, if she was okay, but the moment he arrived there his heart stopped, where was his sister?
He tried to call her believing in the possibility that she had been the one who had left voluntarily from that room, but after making several attempts and continuing without receiving an answer, he began to worry, what if something had really happened?
He looked for someone she could be with, discarding Kara, Alex, Brainy, Winn and even Imra, a fact that altered him even more, as they all claimed that they had not seen her since she went to sleep.
"There's a security camera in the hall, maybe we can see where she went," Winn explained.
In the image was only noticeable a flash of light and then nothing, so that seconds later he would come looking for her, he could have arrived earlier.
"We'll find her" Kara was the first one to dare to speak, which made her look at her, how were they supposed to do that?
I opened my eyes with bewilderment without knowing exactly where I was, slowly incorporating myself to discover it, but wanting to close my eyes again, this must be a nightmare, when I opened them again I would be back in the DEO.
I breathed with agitation when I realized that I was still there, submerged by the darkness that surrounded me, at what moment had this happened? I took both hands to my face to try to get rid of all the fatigue that still invaded me, wanting to clear me.
"Shh, don't fear, daxtonian" I heard they spoke to me, making me raise my head to meet the eyes of the three Worldkillers watching me. "You're already safe" Reign spoke grabbing my face.- Soon everything will be ready, okay?" She looked me directly in the eyes.
"What do you want from me?" I asked wanting to know what I was going to face, to know if I would have any chance to flee.
"You're strong, they don't deserve your greatness" she answered before letting go, pushing me to the ground.
I watched as Reign distanced herself from me, however, Pestilence and Purity stayed by my side as if they had to watch over me, but I was more certain that the first one was looking for a way to kill me.
I did not move from where I was during the time it took Reign to return, although I did not have any other choice either.
"Bring her here" Reign asked getting both of them to hold my arms to do it. "This is the daxtonian of which I spoke to you, could we do it?" She questioned the hologram that appeared before her, causing everything to be watched carefully.
"Daughter of the House of El and Princess of Daxam, Kryptonian and daxamite blood runs through your veins, which bring your greatness" she spoke to me, which made me attend her. "You were a legend, nobody believed your existence, but like that theirs, your genetic combination is perfect, " she continued speaking as I looked towards Reign."You shouldn't be afraid to know your inner darkness." She turned her gaze to the rest of the Wordkillers. "She's ready, hold her" she said so Reign and Purity grabbed my arms to keep me from debating.
I closed my eyes without knowing what I was going to face, trying to get them to let me go, but I did not get it, because seconds later a sharp pain ran through my head causing me to try to cringe on myself, beginning to sob.
Honestly, I was not sure how much longer I was going to stay awake, since I only needed a few more seconds before I finally lost consciousness.
"They had to find Sam, that was the reason why they were there, why they could not leave until they did, however, the crying that she heard was too familiar for her.
She turned away from her sister and Lena to find the source of the sobs, feeling her heart breaking into pieces when she ran into the teenager who was sitting at the foot of a tree with her head resting on her knees while her body convulsed because of her sobs.
She knelt at her height without being able to believe that they had done it, that they had destroyed her in that way, that she had to be fighting this way against everything to return to be who she was.
"Mya" she whispered her name without wanting to scare her, but the younger one reacted in the opposite way, because after lifting her head she started to cry even harder as she repeated that she felt it. "Shh, calm down" she asked her grabbing her face.
"I killed you" She heard the question of the girl making her shake her head without understanding what she was referring to. "But ... Sam says that if we kill someone it will appear to us, Julia has been watching them for weeks" Mya explained by observing the incomprehension that was reflected in her face.
"Mya, honey, I'm fine, Brainy has induced us into a coma to get here" she dried her tears by grabbing her hands to lift her from where she was, but the girl trembled falling on her knees to the floor. "Alex!" she shouted, she could not with the weight of the girl alone.
Her sister and Lena were not long in coming to where she was, but she could see the concern on their faces as they watched the teenager who had brought her knees to her chest again.
"Do you know where Sam is?" Lena asked, making Mya nod before pointing to one of the paths.
Between Alex and her they lifted her off the ground, trying to give her a stability to keep her from falling, although little by little it seemed that the girl was gaining confidence.
They stopped when they heard voices and saw several shadows flying, feeling as Mya clung to her with a greater force in an attempt to hide, listening to her scream when the Kryptonian demon appeared in front of them.
The younger girl closed her eyes in tears, begging to be taken from there, but they could not do it, they needed her not to surrender and try.
"Mya, open your eyes" she asked grabbing her face again.
"I want to go home" Mya sobbed hugging her, so she could not help but embrace her with his arms, she was so fragile and vulnerable.
"I know, we all want you back, but I need you to keep fighting" she asked without breaking the hug.
"Tell them I love them, please," the younger pleaded, increasing her crying.
"This is not a farewell, you're going to fight and you're going to go back home, okay?" She separated her from her. "Come on, we have to find the rest" she grabbed her hand to continue advancing.
They continued advancing in search of Sam, but at first they only found Julia, who had her eyes lost as if she paid little attention to what was around her, Sam was also sitting on the floor. Both had written their memories on a stone and continued reciting it to avoid forgetting, however, the latter was scared to see them appear there.
They tried by all means to wake up Sam, which seemed to give results after naming Ruby, because second later it was Reign whom they had in front, the same one who did not hesitate to grab Lena by the neck, however, before they could do something, they were taken out of that dream. "
She awoke disoriented, but being fully aware of what she had experienced, although she was not sure if they had succeeded.
"Has it been enough?" She asked nervously while her gaze was on Mon-el, how could she say that?
"More than enough," he answered, observing how the rest prepared for the fight.
"No, wait" she stopped them in their actions. "Mya was there" she communicated in barely a whisper audible to all, because their eyes went to Mon-el, who seemed to be trying to understand the situation. "It means that when we go down we will have a new Worldkiller to keep in mind," she explained, never taking his eyes off of him.
"Was she okay?" he asked with tears of anger forming in his eyes.
"Afraid, she wants to come back" she responded seeing him nod slightly. "We will get it, she will come back" she tried to encourage him knowing that it would not be easy.
Once with all the information given, they prepared to go down, to confront them and, indeed, Mya or her Worldkiller version was there, dressed in black and challenging them.
She sighed, it was going to be a difficult battle, because she was sure that none of them was going to want to face her, although to her amazement it was Mon-el who made a first approach.
After her fight with Reign and her defeat in this, she tried to get Julia to finish with her, however, her eyes soon noticed how Mon-el had Mya embraced while he spoke softly wanting to bring her back, fact that he seemed to get the moment that the teenageer fell unconscious in his brother's arms.
Centering her attention back on the rest of Wordkillers, Julia battled Pestilence, who ended up attacking and killing each other, at which point the ground shook violently before Reign seemed to acquire the powers of the other two shortly before flee from there.
The moment I regained consciousness, I sat up without knowing where I was going to wake up this time, reassuring myself slightly when I heard my brother's voice, looking for him before embracing him in search of his protection.
"You're safe, Mya" he kept me hugging him tightly.
After a few seconds I dared to separate slightly from him, trying to identify where I was exactly, I was in the DEO, in the infirmary specifically.
"How are you?" Alex asked getting me to look at her for a few seconds, noting the presence of Kara, Imra and Brainy.
"Is she coming back?" I asked, fearing that before I could prevent it, it would happen.
"We don't know, we can't guarantee anything," Alex answered while I nodded lightly grabbing my brother's shirt to bring him closer to me, resting my head on his chest while allowing him to hug me.
"Actually, with Lena's studies we could find out if there is such a possibility," Brainy said, making me look at him. "We just need to do the same thing she did, with her help ..." he tried to explain, but it was Kara who interrupted him.
"You're not going to do to that to her"she complained while I meditated the offer, maybe I should accept it.
I sighed. A part of me asked me to accept it, to remove that doubt from me, but the other part refused me to meditate that option when I started to attract all the memories of the CADMUS experiments, because this would not make any difference.
Finally, after feeling watched by everyone, I decided to shake my head slightly that seemed to relax both Kara and my brother, who kissed my hair without breaking the hug.
"I want to go home" I whispered as he grabbed me to help me get up, but ended up holding me in his arms.
Imra, my brother and I left there with the little question of when she would return, of when the nightmares would be present again.
It had cost her sister to dare to close her eyes to sleep, but after much trying, she had succeeded, so he had just left her asleep in her room with the uncertainty of how long it would be before Mya got up in his search.
"Has she fallen asleep?" Imra asked him the moment he lay down next to her on the bed, making him nod slightly.
He was aware that it would be difficult for Mya to overcome all this, well, for everyone, because to see her suffer in this way was something he would never be able to forget, however, he needed to be strong for her, to be able to support her whenever she needs him.
He closed his eyes wanting to sleep, but before he could reach the depth, the desperate and terror-filled cry of his younger sister took him out of sleepiness, because he did not hesitate to sit up and run to her. He did not need the girl to speak, since he directly embraced her, trying to reassure her, although after not getting it, he picked her up and went to his room, where Imra was awake watching them both with concern.
He sat with her feeling her breathing begin to settle, indicating that she was relaxing, but even so, she did not seem to want to let go of him.
"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked wanting to make sure that she was.
"I was there, at the valley" she answered between sobs, burying her face in her hands. "I don't want to go back ..., I ..." her voice was interrupted because of her own sobs.
"Shh, she won't come back" he increased the strength of the hug, kissing her hair to keep her relaxed.
Little by little her sister was allowing him to lie her on the bed, but still holding his shirt, so he had to hug her again, noting how she kept her eyes open as if she was afraid to close them.
"You need rest, Mya" he stroked her hair.
"I can't," she replied in a whisper. "When I close my eyes I see one of the Kryptonian demons ..." He did not let her continue.
"No, everything will be fine, they are just memories" he tried to remove the idea of her head.
"I want to do it, I need to know" he heard her mutter, moment in which his eyes met Imra's without knowing how to react, but if it was going to be the best for his sister, he had to accept it.
"If you're sure tomorrow we will talk to Brainy, okay?" He looked her straight in the eyes, seeing her nod. "Okay, I adore you, little one" he kissed her forehead watching how she closed her eyes allowing herself to be carried by Morfeo's arms.
