I kept my head down, resting on my hands, feeling as all the eyes were stuck in me, making me nervous, altering in such a way, that all I wanted was to run away from here.

It was not an easy day, because every class I was in there was always new people, people who kept watching me, whispering about me, who did not even bother to really know me.

I was nervous to hear the bell, the one that indicated the end of the class, but the beginning of the playtime, which made me wonder what I was going to do for the next half hour, because I still did not know anyone, so I went up to the outside, sitting on one of the benches.

I wanted to go home, with my sister, I even wanted to go back to DEO, with Alex, Hank and, well, Supergirl, seriously, I missed them. I knew that this was normal, that it was so difficult for me to get used to everything, but the truth is that most of the days I had spent in the DEO, helping them to understand what alien species they were facing, since a large part had been imprisoned by myself, so yes, I knew all about them.

"Hey, the first day is not easy," said a boy sitting next to me, getting me scared. "I arrived a month ago and the first few days are a little strange," he continued, "I am Jean."

I looked at him confused, not wanting to be carried away by my memories, because at this moment the urge to cry was increasing, because I could not help thinking about him.

"Your name is Kaelah, isn't it?" He asked, receiving a statement from me. "You don't talk much," he said, smiling.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at making friends," I said, trying not to bend my head.

"I understand, at first it costs," he said, still smiling. "Hey, maybe we can meet after class," he said excitedly.

"Maybe another day, I can't today," I replied.

"Sounds good to me." He smiled at me.

I smiled coyly at the same time as he kept talking, asking me things, making me invent my own story as I was responding, since nothing I was telling him was true, well, just the fact that my parents had died and that my sister was taking care of me, that was the only truth in everything.

He did not leave me for the rest of the day, listening intently to the answers I gave him, worrying about me being comfortable in high school, and the truth was that she was grateful that he was treating me that way. However, he did it for the rest of the day, as luckily, we were in the same classes, and simply being with him reassured me, since despite the fact that they kept looking at me, I took it differently by being distracted by him.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Jean." I said goodbye to him after identifying my sister at the door.

"Are you leaving?" He asked, receiving a statement from me. "I'll see you tomorrow, Kaelah," he smiled at me.

I smiled back at him before turning and advancing to my sister, who kept smiling at me, genuinely excited at what I could tell.

"How was your first day?" She asked when I got to her.

"Good, I guess," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"Aren't you going to tell me about the friend you made?" she said, getting me to look at her in amazement for a couple of seconds before I realized she'd overheard the conversation.

"His name is Jean and, well, he's been my support during this first day," I explained.

She nodded, hugging me, indicating that I should go with her to CatCo, which I did not like very much, but I could not deny it to her, since I knew I would not be allowed to stay home alone.

I sighed, relaxing as the elevator doors opened, showing the chaos in the office, listening as Mrs. Grant called desperately to my sister, well to Kira.

"Where were you?" She asked. "I've been calling you for two minutes, during which I've wasted my time," she snapped rather annoyed.

"I'm sorry, but ..." my sister started trying to apologize.

"I don't care," she interrupted her. "I need you to get me a car for tonight, I have to go to the new restaurant before the Daily Planet can remove the exclusive," she asked her before she fixed her attention on me. "I see you brought your sister, did you think of my offer?"

"Hmm, I'm still on it," I answered nervously. "I think ... I have some homework to do," I said, trying to get away from there, getting out.

I thought she would have forgotten that, but from what I see I was wrong, she still had the idea in her head and if I was sincere, I did not think she was going to forget it so easily, so maybe I should definitely answer that I was going to do it.

"I have to go, the DEO needs me," Kara said.

"I'm going with you," I said, determined to follow her.

"What? I'm sorry, Kaelah, but you stay here, it's too dangerous,"s he explained, grabbing me by the shoulders. "I love you, I'll see you later."

"But ..., Kara ..." I tried to complain, but she was already gone.

I sat down in her chair and I ducked her head, frightened by what she was going to face, especially since I did not know. At other times I had been completely aware of what kind of alien she was facing, yet today I was out of touch with what was happening, so all I could do now was wait for her to come back safe and sound.

"Winn, where is Kara?" I heard someone asked.

"DEO," he replied as I lifted my head to look at him, knowing perfectly who he was, James Olsen.

"Hey, you must be Kara's sister, Kaelah, right?" he asked with a smile receiving a statement from me. "You two look alike" he commented at the same time that I was distracted by looking at one of the windows when watching flying To Kara.

I raced to the window, alarmed at the situation that was happening below, to the security of my sister, because at the moment I did not know what she was fighting against, since from this distance I was not able to distinguish the species, it seemed to be much stronger than she. I whispered her name before heading for the elevators, intending to go after her, to try to help her, to protect her, but the only thing I did at that moment was the panic of her friends, who tried to keep me from moving forward.

I managed to get rid of them, to get to the ground floor, unable to avoid getting close to them.

"How long was delaying my dear niece?," said a voice I knew very well, sarcastically.

"She stroked the girl's hair, watching the worry that was reflected in her face, it was evident that something was happening.

"What's the matter, little one?" She asked, brushing away the hair that fell on her face.

The girl settled into bed still looking at her with concern, but without answering her question, as if she was afraid to speak, to explain.

"Sweetie, you have to tell me what happens to you," she asked again.

"Is something going to happen to mommy?" She asked.

"No, no, sweetie, what makes you think ...?" She left the question in half, knowing where she had got it, her own thoughts, those who knew the true health of the girl's mother.

"And the baby?" She asked with more concern.

"No, nothing's going to happen to any of them, okay?" She stroked her face. "They'll be fine, you'll soon be able to see them," she tried to persuade her.

Her niece stared at her for a couple of seconds before nodding slightly, showing she was not sure what she had said, so she chose to sit her on her lap and hold her, watching the little girl close her eyes as Kaelah rested her head on her shoulder, as tears began to slide down her cheeks.

"Hey, shh, nothing's going to happen." She hugged her tightly, stroking her hair. "Do you want us to go out and see the stars?" She asked, getting her to nod.

She got up with her to go to the garden, where she sat with the little girl on the floor, showing her every one of the constellations that night were seen from there. She loved to spend these moments with her, to observe how she enjoyed, how she listened to each of her words carefully as if she were trying to remember them forever.

She smiled, looking at her, noticing how she stretched her arm, pointing to one of the stars before turning to her, waiting impatiently for her to begin to speak.

The little girl sat on her legs resting her head on her left shoulder, the thing her niece always do when she was about to sleep, so she could not deny it, so she settled her until the girl's eyes closed and she fell asleep, surrendering to exhaustion.

"Good night, little one," she whispered, kissing her forehead."

I sobbed without wanting to turn to her, wondering once more where everything that once had been my family was left behind.
