I stopped short when I heard Alex ask, surprised, turning to them, determined to get an answer.
"Is Clark coming to sisters' night?" I asked, catching their attention.
"Yes, he's in town ... it's going to be fun." Kara smiled.
I sighed, turning my gaze to Alex, noting how she made a disapproving signal, someone who disagreed with me.
I honestly did not understand it, because we were supposed to spend the night all three together, alone, since as its name indicated, it was a sisters' night.
I came back to reality the moment the doorbell rang, watching as my sister went to open it.
"Hey, Clark." She smiled at him.
"Hey, can you leave us a moment alone?" he asked.
"Yeah, of course," Alex replied, grabbing my arm. "Come on, Kaelah," she said, pulling me in the moment I did deadlift.
I sat up in bed confused, trying to find the answer to what he had to tell her, which seemed to be too important to wait for.
"Your cousin returns to Metropolis," Alex whispered, making me to look at her questioningly.
"How do you know that?" I asked, genuinely confused.
"A, I have listened and B, he wants to talk to her alone, you know that is the most attached to him" she answered by sitting next to me.
"I know," I sighed. "I'm going to miss him," I said, noting how the tears were beginning to break through.
"Hey, Kaelah, shh," she whispered, hugging me. "It's going to be different, you'll be able to talk to him and he'll come and see you," she said, wiping my tears away.
I nodded, knowing it was true what she was telling me, but still I could not help thinking that the distance was going to break our relationship, the one that had cost so much to create, that at first was non-existent.
"Alex, we have to go, we see in the DEO" shouted Kara.
"Are you coming?" She asked, receiving a statement from me.
The truth is that I was tired and I did not want to go very much, but the fact of being alone at home at night, got me to alter, so yes, I went with her.
I felt my eyes close as fatigue was winning the battle, so I leaned in the back of the car, closing my eyes, sleeping.
"Kaelah, hey," whispered Alex trying to wake me up. "You're tired, what do you think if I look for a room and you sleep until we can go home?" She suggested, shaking my head. "Okay," she smiled.
I followed her into the DEO's main hall, where both Winn and Hank were engrossed by the image on the screen, which indicated that they were in danger, that this guy with the Kryptonite was too much for them.
I ducked my head in tears the moment he hit my sister, I could not help thinking that he was going to kill her and honestly, I could not see that moment. My heart stopped when I heard nothing, so I closed my eyes, I had lost them.
"It's okay, they're fine," Alex whispered, hugging me, getting me to look at her after hearing her say that. "They're coming, they're fine, both of them" she wiped away my tears.
"I thought I had lost her," I sobbed, releasing all the contained emotion.
"Shh, try to calm down, okay? "She asked, stroking my face.
I remained hugging her, sobbing, trying to control myself, but it was difficult, for the state of nerves I had was too much to stop. I only parted from her the moment I heard her whisper her name, identifying her before running to her, embracing her as if it were the last time I was going to do it.
"I'm glad to see you, too," she said, returning the hug. "You were scared, weren't you?" She said, pulling me away from her, smiling at me. "Kaelah, I'm fine, hey." She hugged me again, realizing that I had begun to cry harder. "You're going to calm down," she said, kissing my forehead.
I tried to nod without wanting to release her, afraid to do so, to lose her, seriously, I was very scared and upset right now.
I watched as she gestured toward Kal-el, telling him to grab me, since she wanted to move toward Alex and I was holding her back. However, I did not resist the moment he pulled me away from her, coming to hug me while I continued to try to control my sobs.
I hugged him with greater force when everything seemed to go dark and a video was entered on the screen. CADMUS, they were behind this, they wanted to kill us.
"How could they have done with the Kryptonite?" Kara questioned, well, I think we all asked ourselves that question.
"It's from here, it was stolen about four months ago, it was investigated, but nothing was found," Alex explained.
"You have a mole," my cousin said.
"We don't know that," interrupted Hank.
"I told you to get rid of it, to eliminate it, J'onn" he reproached him" Kara might be dead, I might be, "he said, hugging me with greater strength.
I had managed to relax enough to make the tiredness appear again.
Kal-el stroked my hair for a couple of seconds before kissing my forehead and separating me from him to watch me.
"You should have fallen asleep," he said at the same time I shook my head.
"CADMUS has my father," Alex murmured. "If they did that to Corben, what do you think they did to him?"
"We're going to find him," my sister assured her, taking her hand.
"And get him out of there," my cousin added.
Much to my regret I had to get up early, I had to go to class, even if I had tried to explain to my sister that I was not feeling well, either because of fatigue, but because it was beginning to happen the same as a couple of days ago and I was scared.
I opened the apartment door alarmed by the discussion between my sister and Alex.
"No, this is not putting one family on another, it's where I know everything will be fine," my sister explained.
"What's going on?" I asked, drawing their attention.
"She wants to move to Metropolis," Alex said, making me look at my sister.
"I'm not going to Metropolis, I'm sorry, but I refuse to leave here," I said as I sat down on the counter stool next to my sister, who shook her head.
"But it's the best thing for everyone, and when I'm with Clark it's like I'm not alone, it's being with someone who understands what it means to be me," she explained.
I closed my eyes trying to control myself, wanting to avoid looking at her, unable to do so, for each of her last words had been like small stabs.
"In that case, does he understand that he left you with us? Do you? "Alex said angrily as Kara's cell phone began to ring.
"It's Clark," she said, getting up to pick it up.
"I don't want to go to Metropolis," I sighed, clutching my head.
"Neither I," said Alex.
I sat in the chair, watching as Winn and Alex spoke, but without paying any attention to what they said, because my sister's words still kept in my head, which could do me more harm every time.
I shook my head trying to clear myself, focusing on their conversation, wanting to participate in whatever they were doing to distract me, so I looked at both of them, concentrating, trying to focus all my senses on finding out. However, the moment I noticed the heat in my eyes so that seconds later a lightning bolt was fired towards Alex, I knew, I had found the answer to my discomfort.
"Kaelah!" She exclaimed, in a tone of fear and surprise.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, closing my eyes for fear of doing it again and for this time I could hit a target.
I felt Alex's hand on my cheek, but the truth was that I was not going to open my eyes, I was afraid to hurt her, to hurt her, to hurt anyone who was there.
"Sweetheart, open your eyes," she asked, receiving a denial on my part. "Kaelah, I'm telling you seriously, open them, it's okay," she said, stroking my cheek.
I kept my head down while I opened them, wanting to verify that it was not a danger, which was true, it was not, however, what was drawing my attention right now was that I was controlling them, that no power should excel over another.
"I'm controlling them," I whispered excitedly.
"Really?" Alex asked.
"The sound is the worst, but the rest ... I can control them, seriously, I don't have to worry about you thinking a lot" I said causing her laughter.
"That's good," she smiled. "What you need to see is if they last," she said.
I nodded at her words because that was true, we had to verify that they were permanent, that they were not going to disappear again.
"Wait, what does that mean?," Winn said, making us look at him. "Should I make a suit?" He asked excitedly.
"Not at the moment," Alex replied. "Until we're sure how far you can get, we don't tell Kara," she explained.
"I agree," I said.
She smiled slightly, stroking my hair, causing Winn's exasperation, which seemed to have too many questions to clear up with one.
Flying, that was the key word for how I got here so fast, even though I'd have had to escape DEO before, for I was under Winn's supervision.
I sighed, relaxing before opening the door to the terrace where Mrs. Grant was, since my sister had said she was leaving ... I could not get the idea out of my head, say goodbye to her.
"Mrs. Grant" I called her causing her to turn to me, smiling, excited that I was there. "My sister told me youe were leaving and ... I thought to come and say goodbye," I explained.
"Kaelah, sweetheart, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Cat?" She asked me with a smile. "Yes, I'm leaving, I've done too much for this company, I need something new to start," she explained.
We sat in silence for a couple of seconds, watching the sights of the city, the truth is that they were incredible, especially at night.
"We're going to miss you," I dared to break it.
"And I will miss you, Kaelah," she said, hugging me. "You're going to be a great superhero like your sister," she whispered in my ear, making me paralyze, unable to breathe for a couple of seconds.
"Did you know?" I asked, making her nod. "All this time and you said nothing?" I was surprised.
"It's funny how your sister tries to defend her or makes me believe that she isn't her, also if I had any doubts, I saw you arrive" she explained at the same time that I bowed my head, I had been caught. "Don't let your sister tell you what to do "she said.
"I will not," I promised the moment she arrived or better said, Supergirl arrived. "I think I'm leaving, come back as soon as you can" I smiled at Cat.
"Sweetie, do not let anyone decide for you," she said slyly to Kara. " By no one I mean your sister," she added.
"I don't," I said with a half smile after watching my sister's face.
"Seriously, you're worth a lot, be yourself," she finally said before hugging me for the last time. "Bye, Kaelah."
"I'll take your advice, Mrs. Grat ..," I smiled, practically standing next to my sister.
"Have they ever told you that you look physically?" She asked, causing both of us to laugh.
"Seriously, I have to go," I said.
"Bye, Kaelah" my sister smiled at me.
"Supergirl." I smiled at her before finally leaving, knowing that I had to wait for her, indeed, I could not leave in the same way that I had arrived.
However, I was afraid to start a conversation with her, because it implied that I could tell some of my powers and, indeed, I could not.
I was not surprised when I heard her call me, or when she came dressed as Kara, but when she said we had to talk.
"I feel very sorry for what I said before, " she apologized. "That you don't have powers doesn't mean that you don't understand me, what is more, you do better than anyone. Kaelah, I'm so sorry to have said that" she said at the same time that a fit of nervous laughter took possession of my throat "Do you forgive me?" She asked as I hugged her in response.
I smiled slightly, if she knew.
"There you go, all the kryptonite," Hank said, handing it over to my cousin.
I sighed, no matter how hard it was to accept it, it was time, he had to leave here and return to Metropolis.
I watched as he said good-bye to Alex and Winn, who seemed quite at his going, hugging my sister before looking at me, smiling at me.
"I'm going to miss you," I whispered, hugging him.
"I'm going to miss you too, Kaelah," he whispered back. "You're incredible, I'm glad I met you, and I hope we can see each other later." He smiled at me, receiving a statement from me.
He kissed my hair before I separated from him and he looked at both of us as he smiled.
"I love you," he said at once, taking the kryptonite and leaving.
I sighed, the moment I was comfortable with his presence he had to leave, I was pretty shattered, but his place was in Metropolis and ours here, in National City.
