I did not understand what was happening to me, why I was like this, because at night I had been fine, however, now ... I could not say the same.

I was afraid that there would still be kryptonite in my blood, which would not have been detected in the analyzes, but luckily, there was no class today, so I should not put any excuse. Although now that I thought about it, she was gone soon or at least I hoped.

I opened the door of my room, finding with that I was actually alone. I sighed as I sat on the couch, clutching my head when it made me dizzy, a new doubt broke through. What if it was my powers? No, it was not possible, it was not, I knew, it was not that pain, besides, it was not permanent.

After much meditation I decided to call Alex to come and pick me up, so I prepared for when she arrived.

"Can you tell what happens to you?" She asked me the moment I got into her car.

"I don't know," I said sincerely. "There's something wrong, is it possible that I still have kryptonite?" I asked.

"No, there was nothing in the analysis," Alex replied, "What is it?"

"That I'm not feeling well, I have the feeling that something happens and I don't want to scare Kara, that's why I called you" I explained it as best I could by making her nod.

When we arrived at DEO she took me to a secluded room to avoid my sister being able to find out what was happening.

She ran several tests to see if she could find out what was happening to me, so I stayed in that room without moving until she returned with the results.

"Kaelah, you're clean," she said as I closed my eyes.

"I don't understand, but if it's not that..., what's wrong?" I asked.

"I don't know, sweetie," she shrugged. "Maybe you're getting ill and the truth is that we do not know how a virus would affect you," she explained, trying to reassure me. "Try not to think about it, okay?"

I nodded confused, wanting to find an answer even knowing that it was not going to be possible, but I knew I would not stop until I got it.

"Kara just saved a plane with Clark and she's coming, maybe you should tell her how you feel," she said.

"No, I won't tell her," I replied.

I agreed to go with her to the control where Winn was working for the first time. The truth is that none of us expected him to be hired, but taking into account all the computer skills he had, it was what was left to happen.

"Hey, I'm back, listen to me" my sister asked the moment he appeared there, causing me to close my eyes with tears. "He is my cousin, his ... I think you all know him" she smiled, however, I did not find the good side right now.

I ducked my head, subtly denying it before I left, to go back to that room again, in tears, not wanting to face all that.

I listened as Alex called me, however, I decided that I would not stop to explain this, because all I wanted to do was flee from there.

I sat in a chair with my eyes closed, not allowing the tears to come out, frightening me the moment the door opened, showing Alex on the other side.

"Kaelah, why did you leave like this?" She asked, but I did not answer her, because I was sure I would cry. "It's for Clark, isn't it?"

I nodded as the first tears made their way, so I tried to get them out of the way.

She sat beside me, watching me, not daring to speak, but finally doing so.

"You can talk to me, you know that, right?" She smiled at me.

"Alex ... he was a baby and ... and now it turns out that he is twenty years older than me" I started with tears. "When I saw Kara ..., it was a shock, but I could understand it, I was able to face it" I did a pause. "But this is crazy, and ... and I'm sure he wants to meet me, but I can not do it, I'm not ready," I sobbed.

"Hey, hey, it's okay not to be ready, Kaelah," she whispered, hugging me. "Besides, he'll understand, it's normal for you to feel that way," she said, hugging me with more strength.

I continued to cry over his shoulder for a long time, tensing myself when I heard the door open again.

"Hey, what's wrong?" My sister asked, approaching, "Kaelah, hey, what happened?" She asked, kneeling in front of me, but I kept my head on Alex's shoulder even in tears.

"I'm not ready to meet Kal-el," I replied.

"Hey, he's not upset about this, he said he understood that you weren't prepared" she tried to reassure me." It's all right, okay? "She whispered stroking my face.

"How about we go home and relax there?" Alex asked.

I nodded, barely thinking, because the further I was from the DEO, the better I was going to take it, well, the truth was I did not know if that was going to be possible, since the nervousness and discomfort was going to continue present wherever I will be.

Once in the apartment, I went straight to my room, throwing myself on the bed, not wanting to start crying again.

"Are you feeling better?" She asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed, receiving a denial from me. "Maybe if you fall asleep, you'll feel better," she said.

I shook my head, how could I be all right when the memories of Krypton didn't stop? It seemed impossible, however, I closed my eyes to prevent the tears, that were stored in them, not to come out.

"I sighed. Running away from home had only brought me problems, but with Kal-el's excuse it was, in a way, more certain.

"Hey, what a surprise" exclaimed my uncle hugging me. "How is my little niece?"

Should I tell him the truth or lie as I always did?

I decided not to answer, to allow the question to be lost, without giving the opportunity to rescue it, there was no need.

I moved toward Kal-el's crib, watching him closely, as he slept placidly without any kind of concern. I missed the innocence, I really did, that moment when you are not scolded for the things you do, you are not aware of everything that happens around you, however, it was possible that I missed it even more by having in says that at four years I had had to face my first responsibilities, without giving me time to mature, or decide what I wanted. I was raised to be the heiress of the House of El, but right now, we all knew that was not going to happen, since Krypton would die in two months, and I would do it with him.

I reached out to take his hand, hoping that both he and my sister would be better on Earth.

"I had understood that you were punished," said my uncle to what I nodded, yes, I was.

"I've escaped," I admitted in a whisper. "I couldn't stand it any longer, I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a choice," I explained.

"I know your father is being very hard on you, but right now you're giving him reasons to be," he assured me, ducking my head, for it was true.

"I didn't choose this, you did it for me," I began, sitting on the couch. "It's funny when you're five, but when you're sixteen and you spend your whole life being educated like an heiress, without any kind of freedom, it's not "I explained to his astonishment.

"Kaeks, I was educated the same way as you and I know it's not easy, but you must learn to live with it," he said sitting down beside me.

"I've dedicated my whole life to this for nothing," I complained through tears.

He hugged me against him, trying to comfort me, but what was he going to do?, if all I was saying was reality.

"Your father still refuses to send you to Earth," he said at the same time I nodded. "Why?"

"Because the yellow sun will not affect me the way you expect and now he considers it a punishment" I answered before continuing to speak. "What I think is that he doesn't realize that for me it's a release, because I prefer to die than to spend more time like this, "I explained.

"Do not say that, Keaks, you deserve a life, grow up, be yourself, with no one to stop you," he tried to take my idea away fo my head.

I looked at him truly grateful for his words, being aware that he was one of the only people who believed in me. However, I wished him luck in getting me that life I longed for, that without any worries or obligations, because we were both aware that if it depended on my father, I would die here. "

When they entered the apartment everything was quiet, fact that stranged her, since her sisters were supposed to be there, but there was no trace of them. So she was quite frightened to see Alex appear in the hall.

"Hey, don't make a lot of noise, she just falls asleep and she's been crying for about an hour," she said, alarmed.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Is it for me?" His cousin asked.

"No, no, she called me this morning saying she wasn't feeling good and at first she thought that she had Kryptonite, but she's clean," she replied to both of them.

"Powers?" She pointed out to what her sister shook her head.

"She has no fever," her sister said. "I have to go to the DEO, please don't wake her," she pleaded before leaving.

She knew it was a bad idea to head for her sister's room, but the truth was that she needed to see for herself that she was fine.

"Clark, come with me," she called after seeing him stay in the living room.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Kara," he said with little confidence.

"She's asleep, nothing's going to happen," she tried to reassure him.

They both entered the room, where, indeed, the girl was asleep hugging the stuffed Supergirl, with the mark of tears on her cheeks.

She watched as his cousin knelt by the side of the bed, placing his hand on her sister's cheek as he watched her carefully.

"She must have happened so much," he whispered, getting up. "I hope I can meet her sometime."

"Give her time, she was a couple of days without wanting to stay with Alex and me ..., at first she barely spoke to me," she said. "Step by step," she sighed wanting to believe her own words.

Thanks for ready,
