I listened attentively to each and every word my sister was saying, however, at this moment I stopped listening to her, beginning to wander through my thoughts.

According to what she had just told me, she had come to Earth twelve years ago, although to my astonishment Kal-el had arrived long before her and had become a superhero, whom everyone knew as "Superman."

All of this was shocking, the mere fact that the I was last one who had arrived here. I was worried, I was upset. I had gone from being the oldest to being the little one, because yes, I was still the same age as when Krypton exploded, but they weren't. My sister ... my little sister was now eight years older than me. I honestly didn't know how she would pretend that I would understand everything, because it was too much information to process, to understand.

"Kaelah, say something," she said. "Please, say something," she begged.

I blinked in confusion, because I had heard nothing of the last thing she had said, so I didn't know exactly what I should answer.

"I ... Kara, this is very difficult, I think I need time" I answered. "It is all too strange" I sighed. "Hmm .., What was I saying?" she smiled slightly. "In case I hadn't said it before, Alex is my adoptive sister," she said pointing to her, causing me to look at her, but not for so long. "I'm a superhero, they know me as Supergirl, "she said.

"What?" I asked in a content cry "Have you exposed? Kara, you've exposed yourself, it can be dangerous" I told her " How did you think to do that? What if they hurt you?"

I said, trying not to shout." They can hurt you, Kara, they can ... "

"Calm down, everything is fine," she said interrupting me. "I work with them, we're a team," she explained, genuinely excited.

I looked at her, resisting the urge to shout again, Was I the only one who saw the danger in this? She had exposed herself to a society on a planet she didn't know, with all the dangers it entailed, and she was able to tell me as if nothing had happened, as if it was the best thing she had done in her entire life.

I did not see the good side to all of this, and I didn't care if she tried to convince me that she worked with them. Besides, Who were they? Were they able to protect her from all the dangers? Because I was convinced that they couldn't, that my sister's safety was something that came from her.

I sighed trying to reassure myself, trying to think how I was going to say it without hurting her, because honestly, what I most wanted right now was to shout her out if she was crazy, but I couldn't do it, so I restrained myself.

"Kaelah, can I ask you something?" she asked, getting me out of my thoughts. "Why don't you have powers? I mean, it's not that you're immune to kryptonite, but it does not affect you in any way, " she began to explain." Besides, you have fractures and ... cuts, that's not possible, at least not here, for us, "she finished, waiting for me to answer the question she had asked me.

I swallowed hard and shook my head, because I couldn't answer that, at least not at this moment, since I was fully aware that if I did I would destroy her.

"I can't, I'm sorry, Kara," I finally answered after feeling her impatience.

"Why ... why not?" she asked nervously.

I shook my head again, no matter how many times she asked, my answer wasn't going to change. I didn't want to tell her, not only because of what I could make her happen to her, but because of the memories that this could awaken in me, so yes, I would remain silent.

She asked again, getting the same as before a denial, an answer that I thought would be the definitive one, however, she insisted once more.

"Kara, maybe you should stop pushing her," said the one who had previously been named as Alex. "It's her right not to tell"

"But ... I just want to help her" she complained. "Kaelah, I want to help you, I want to understand you." she looked at me, waiting for me to speak again.

"I will not do it, Kara, I will not tell you, so stop asking" I asked for it knowing it wasn't going to be enough. "I do it for your sake, I don't want to hurt you, Kara."

"I'm not a child, I can bear it, please," she pleaded again.

"I know that it will be the worst thing for you, I'm sorry, but I can not tell you," I said, looking directly into her eyes.

I watched as she opened her mouth to reply, yet she remained silent, without uttering the slightest word, turning to look at me angrily before heading for the door.

"Ka ..., Kara" I called her.

"No, you're right, I'm a child, I would not be able to understand you," she said before leaving.

I closed my eyes trying to control myself, trying not to think about what just had happened, but, How not?

My sister had been angry with me for the simple fact that I wanted to protect her, that I didn't want to hurt her, or break all the memories she had of our family. It wasn't fair to break those memories, to force her to see everything differently just because she wanted to hear my explanations.

"Kaelah, you may not want to talk to her, but, Would you explain it to me?" Alex asked me.

"So you can tell her?" I arched an eyebrow. "No, I won't"

"I'm not going to tell her" she said. "It may help us to understand a little more everything that has happened," she explained without getting all my confidence. "I understand that you don't want to tell Kara, that you are afraid of what she will think of what happened to you, but I can assure you that I will not judge you, that I will not tell her "she assured me, staring at me.

I looked at her still hesitantly.

Kara trusted her, though, Was I able to? It was not easy to tell all of this, but it was even more complicated to tell your hystory to a person you knew of nothing, which you hardly trusted, and that she had supplanted your position during these last years. I was grateful that she had taken care of her, but I couldn't help feeling guilty for everything, because I felt that caring and protecting my sister was my duty, not hers.

I sighed, I had to trust her.

"It is not easy to tell, so I will not tell it as it was" I warned "They say that you shouldn't turn against your own family, but when they do it, you have no other choice" I started with a choked voice. "In Krypton we couldn't show the powers as it is done here, there is a condition that disables us, but I ... I was a kind of exception" I made a small pause "I was only two years old when I did it for first time, and only five when they began to use it against my will, so you could say that I was overexploited" I explained trying to avoid getting to cry . "I lost them when I was twelve years old, well, not exactly, sporadically I could use them, but ... the last time I did ... "I was cut off as the first tears came out of my eyes.

"You don't have to continue if you can't" she whispered. "I think it's enough with this, you don't have to say more if you can't, Kaelah" she said, placing his hand on mine.

I smiled shyly. I could definitely trust her, I was sure of it. However, what scared me more at this moment was to have lost Kara.
