"Of the royal family of Daxam," Mon-el said.

"Really?" I raised an eyebrow. "I thought it was one of the worst families," I said.

"And his son, the Prince, was rumored to be the worst of the worst," my sister added, getting my laugh.

"I had my good moments, too," he complained, making our laughter even louder. "Look who's laughing, heiress of the house of El, so badly I should not be when your parents gave me your hand," he said.

At that moment the laughter died down, for everyone had remained silent, looking at him, going on to do the same with me, so I kept my head down and my jaw tight.

I felt the stare of my sister, who placed her hand on my shoulder, as if that could reassure me, but the truth is that it couldn't, and much less when the situation had become so tense.

However, everything seemed to be forgotten at the moment Hank headed for the door, intending to leave, causing us all to turn in an attempt to understand where he was going.

"Where are you going?" Alex asked.

"Personal matters," he answered without further ado.

"I didn't know she had any personal business," she said to my sister, who shook her head in surprise at the situation, just as Alex's cell phone rang, "Are you coming?" She asked after a few seconds.

"I have to go," she said, approaching me. "Be good, don't be too hard on him, we don't know how much he can bear." She smiled. "Seriously, I know you control the powers better than I do, but you have to stay here until we know what your limits are, okay? "She hugged me." I'll see you later, I love you, "she said, parting.

"I love you too," I replied back shortly before she left.

I looked at Winn expectantly waiting for him to tell me what to do, starting to make him nervous, for he smiled at both of them as if he really didn't know what to do. I could not help but laugh when I saw him trying to hear what was being said on the other side of the line.

"You guys, do you mind if I leave you alone for a moment?" He questioned, making me shake my head for education, because I did care. "There's a fault in the system, it takes a couple of minutes, okay?" he said staying at the door.

I sighed, bowing my head, not daring to make eye contact with "The Prince", who at the moment was watching me.

Honestly, I had so many doubts, so many unanswered questions that I wasn't allowed to advance in the situation, because they were accumulating more and more.

"Can you answer a question?" I asked, looking directly into his eyes.

"Of course." He smiled.

"Why?" I asked, looking at his confusion. "Why did they do that? What part of all this seemed like a good idea?" I began, not letting him answer. "I was educated to hate Daxam and everything that had to do with it, You ... No, I do not understand, what was positive about it? When were they going to tell me? "I looked at him, genuinely upset, noticing how the first tears were present.

I watched as he advanced toward me, as he was shortening the distance between us, so I stepped back, because I didn't want him to try to calm me down, but the moment my back hit the wall, I knew, I was cornered.

He put his hands up to my shoulders to keep me from running away, so I tried to push him, but he made a greater force, repositioning himself in the initial position, causing me to bend my head because I didn't dare to look into his eyes.

"You're going to start by calming yourself down and then listening to me," he whispered, wiping my tears at the same time I nodded. "Well, I was educated to hate everything about Kryton, but ..." He stood silently lifting my chin. "But I was also educated to be your husband, to protect you, to support you, to comfort you, but, above all, to take care of you," he explained, stroking my cheek.

I swallowed hard as I closed my eyes, unable to continue looking at him, not after he had said that.

I felt as he placed both hands on my face, so yes, I knew what was going to happen next, so without giving him time, I turned my head just as Winn's voice was present.

"What are you doing? Mon-el, She's a kid, "he exclaimed in alarm, getting him to let me go, allowing me to stand behind him for protection." She's a sixteen-year-old girl, you were harassing a kid, "he said, making me smile inside, liking this role of victimhood.

"What? No, I wasn't harassing her, "he defended himself.

"The scene spoke for itself, also look at her, she's scared," he pointed out before turning to me. "You should go outside to calm down," he said making me nod.

"Winn, don't tell Kara," I asked, observing that he was going to reply. "Please," I pleaded.

"This time," he answered.

"Thank you," I whispered before finally leaving, victorious.

I chased Alex down an aisle, repeating the same question, confused, worried about what had happened last night, and considering that my sister refused to respond, she was my only choice.

"Is Kara okay?" I questioned again, getting her to turn.

"Yes, she's fine," she said, staring at me. "Shouldn't you be with Winn?"

I nodded, yes, I should, but I did not want to be in that room, so it could be said that I had escaped from there, knowing that Winn was aware of the reason that I wasn't there.

She arched an eyebrow at me, as if she expected me to explain my motives, but the truth was I could not know what to say.

"I wanted to rest, I couldn't stay there any longer," I tried to explain.

"Does it have to do with your supposed marriage to Mon-el?" She asked, receiving a statement from me. "You know that's no longer possible, Kaelah, you have to stop thinking about it," she said.

"I can't," I said sincerely. "I can't stop thinking about what might have happened, how they could have told me, ..." I explained, bowing my head.

"I'm going to tell Kara to give you the day off," she smiled. "You need to distract yourself, a lot, you're going to come with me," she said, grabbing my arm to get me out of there.

I couldn't help laughing the moment I saw Winn with the ice pack on his head, In which moment had seemed like a good idea?

"Winn," Alex called, startling him, creating confusion for a couple of seconds.

"What? You're the one on the defensive! "He exclaimed, causing even more loud laughter.

"Agent Schott," Hank called, making him turn to him.

"You know, Mon-el is here and … he's okay," he remarked as if he really doubted that information. "You know his heart is on the other side."

"Can you explain to me how it is possible that an alien broke two arms yesterday in a bar?," he asked.

"The news is very violent lately," he said as a response ending up causing the confusion of others.

"What's going on?" Alex asked.

"Winn took the new alien out," Hank replied. "You should have talked to him," he pointed at my sister.

"Since when is this my fault?" She asked back.

"Since everything we do is being watch," he replied. "Besides, I'm not going to send your sixteen-year-old sister to face you," he added, looking at me as Winn's voice began to be heard.

"Of course, and much less after ..." he slowed down the moment that I coughed avoiding him to continue talking.

I could still feel Alex's gaze locked on me for a couple of seconds, as if expecting some kind of reaction from me, but there was not going to be any.

I was aware that I had saved me by a little, since I would have had to explain myself.

"You look like crap," Alex said to Winn.

"Thank you, do you think I didn't look in the mirror this morning?" He asked, causing even more laughter from me.

"Hey, what were you going to say before?" She asked, causing my panic.

"Ah, How are we going to leave him alone when he harasses girls?," he replied, even though I begged him not to.

"Did he harass a girl yesterday?" Alex questioned, confused at Winn's denial, when I started to walk away, not quite knowing where to hide. "Kaelah, don't even think about taking one more step," he warned making me increase the pace without paying attention to it, just wanting to get out of there as soon as possible "Kaelah!" She shouted the moment I left.

Going through the halls of the DEO without encountering Alex wasn't easy, because I could not say if it was suggestion, but every time I heard her voice closer and that scared me, since I knew that I should face an interrogation, questions that I refused to respond.

I opened the door to the training room as I heard no noise in it, yet I wanted to step back the moment my gaze met his.

"Kaelah, wait," he said, as I walked toward the door.

He grabbed my wrist by turning me to him, holding my grip to keep me from leaving, so I sighed, waiting for what he was going to tell me.

"Why are you allowing this?" he questioned. "Agent Danvers scolded me for something I didn't do," he complained. "Okay, maybe I should not have tried to kiss you, it wasn't the right thing to do, but you kept walking backwards as if you were afraid and that was the way to stop you" he paused to look at me "You didn't even oppose, you pushed me once and you didn't try more, "he added, ducking his head for a couple of seconds. "Are you going to talk?"

I looked at him without words at all he had said to me, confused, looking for the right answer, without finding it, a fact that altered me more and more.

I bit my lower lip before swallowing and deciding to speak.

"I shouldn't have taken advantage of what Winn saw, I should have explained the situation, I'm sorry," I apologized. "Alex can be very hard," I said, getting him to laugh.

I accompanied my laughter with his before he looked at me in silence for a couple of seconds, watching me. He grabbed my other arm as if he really wanted to hold me, to keep me there for longer, but if I was honest, I was starting to get nervous.

"I can not help thinking about it when I look at you," he finally said, causing my confusion, for I did not understand what he was referring to. "Sometimes I wonder if we were happy together, what would our life in Daxam have been like ..." he began to explain, but I interrupted him.

"Daxam?" I was alarmed.

"I'm from there," he replied as if it weren't obvious.

"And I'm from Krypton," I said. "What made you think I was going to leave my planet to go to yours?" I questioned him, genuinely intrigued by the answer.

"It would have been a problem to decide where to stay" he commented returning to the seriousness of a beginning "I always thought that for the age that I have now, we would be raising our first child" he affirmed.

"I would only be nineteen years old!" I cried, wanting to separate myself from him, unable to do so, for he made more force to hold me. "Let me go!" I shouted to the limit of my patience.

He pulled me towards him to hug me, getting me to struggle in his arms, really angry by the situation.

"You're going to calm down, okay?" He whispered in my ear, pulling me away from him.

"How do you pretend me ...?" My question was halted, for it was interrupted by his kiss, to which I corresponded, feeling very guilty the moment he broke it.

I ducked my head in confusion, not understanding what was happening, why he had done that, but most of all, why I had responded to that kiss.

"I think I should go," he whispered, releasing me.

I turned to see him go, trying to call him, however, the state I was in didn't allow my voice to be present, so I bowed my head without being very sure about what was going to happen after this.
