"Are you going to yell at me?" He questioned the moment I entered the apartment.

"No, I won't," I replied, intending to stop talking to him and go to my room, but it was I who talked again. "You'd better think of the things you say next time, because I promise you I will not regret to kill with you" I threatened him, getting him to look surprised, but not answer anything about.

I turned finally to continue advancing by closing the door of my room before throwing me on the bed, tired, not wanting to think about anything. However, I was well aware that I needed to vent, so I took out the small notebook that I hid under the pillow, the one that contained every single one of my thoughts written in Kryptonian, because, although I was aware that if my sister found it, she would understand each of the words written there, made me feel much safer, besides allowing me to be in contact with my true identity, which I had to keep hidden.

When I finished I left it on the desk before I lay down again, wishing my sister would arrive soon, since I did not plan to leave the room until that happened. So, when the door opened, I turned around expecting to see my sister, but it was not her, so I clenched my fists tightly trying to control myself, trying not to shout at him to leave me alone.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I was worried, you've been locked up all afternoon," he answered, closing the door, which made me uneasy, since it indicated that he planned to stay longer. "Have you been ... hmm, model?" He asked, pointing to the framed cover of CatCo,"What is this?" He asked, approaching the desk, making me nervous. "It's your name in Kryptonian, right?" He looked at me and showed me the notebook.

"Mon-el, don't!" I shouted, getting up, trying to take it off, but before I could do anything, he had placed his arm in a position where I could not reach it. "Give it to me." I asked him to the limit of my patience.

"It's dated ..." He smiled. "Let's see what you say about me." He looked at me and shook his head.

"Please, give it to me," I begged him, starting to get nervous, causing his laughter as he continued to read through the pages.

"No, this is too interesting," he denied, stopping on one of the pages. "Well, here you talk about our kiss," he said, so I made a final attempt to get it, leaving it behind me, a place I could control. Hey, that's not fair!" he complained.

"They never told you not to read people's dairies?" I looked at him making him smile slightly.

"I didn't want to do it, but the truth was that it was too interesting," he said. "So I'm a good boy, huh? Of which you had the wrong idea." He stared at me. "Nothing to do with the hatred you treat me"he said.

"The moment I wrote that I didn't know you well enough to know how you were," I explained, causing his laugh as he shook his head.

"You know what I think" he started watching me. "That all this hatred is a facade for not admitting, maybe because you're afraid to do it, I don't know, but I'm sure it is a way to protect yourself from your own feelings" he explained looking straight into my eyes.

"That's not true, Mon-el," I said practically instantly.

He did not answer, just shook his head, bending it down, smiling slightly when he lifted it. I watched as he advanced toward me, yet, unlike other times, I stood motionless, expectant at what he was about to tell me.

He placed his hand on my chin, forcing me to keep my head up, for I had bent over the moment he was so close.

"Are you sure?" he asked, so I nodded. "All right," he sighed, giving me hope that he was going to let me go, but he did not.

I looked at him questioningly for an explanation of what he was supposed to be doing, however, he managed to get me completely still the moment he kissed the corner of my lips, going to kiss my neck, a process that I did not oppose, allowing him ascended to my ear.

"If you're so sure, why don't you ask me to stop?" He asked in a whisper, grabbing my face with both hands, brushing his lips with mine.

I felt like one part of me was asking me to respond, while another told me that I should stay strong to my previous statement, however, before I could do anything, the door of the room opened, causing us to separate the one of the other.

I was afraid to look at the door, because I was not sure how I was going to explain all this to my sister, but at some point I had to turn my head, so I did, and I faced Alex, who was looking at us waiting for some explanation.

"Mon-el, go, I want to talk to her," she pointed out. "What were you thinking?" She asked when he had left.

"I don't know," I replied with a shrug. "He started kissing me and ..." I was silent, not knowing how to continue.

"You can't call this harassment, you were agree" she said waiting for my answer, but the truth is that I didn't know what to say. "Kaelah I'm not scolding you, but it's the second time that happens and you have a boyfriend" She started sitting next to me "How many times do you think it's going to happen?" She asked. "You have to put a solution and only you can do it," she pointed out. "You have to think what you want," she finished.

"But ..., Alex ..." I tried to speak, but I could not find the right words to express myself.

"I'm not going to tell him anything, neither he or Kara" she smiled at me" Try to think about it, okay? "She hugged me, getting me to lean my head on her shoulder and start crying "Hey, sweetheart, no, it's not worth it," she whispered, hugging me harder. "Relax, Kaelah," she said, wiping my tears away.

I tried, I really did, but nothing, absolutely nothing seemed to make sense right now. However, I was aware that if Alex had not appeared, all this would have gotten out of hand, so, in a way, I was grateful that she had opened that door.

"I know that after this you will not want to leave here, but believe me you need to have dinner" she said making me shake my head. "I know, so I'll leave you a couple of minutes, okay?" she kissed my forehead before getting up and leaving.

I did not understand what had happened, why had not I stopped him? What had happened to me? Seriously, I had no answer to any of this, a fact that made my nervousness increase, because I really needed some kind of response, enough to clarify my ideas.

Alex came back into the room offering me a piece of pizza as she sat next to me.

"Thank you," I whispered.

"Kaelah, you're going to have dinner, you're going to calm down and go to sleep." She looked at me, so I nodded as the same time her cell phone started to ring. "Kara, has found an ... alien, I'm not sure, I have to go, "she said.

"Be careful." I asked her just before she left, leaving me alone only a couple of feet from the only person who drove me crazy.


I looked at Alex trying to understand all the information I had just received, however, I was not able to concentrate, since my brain was occupied in two different things. On the one hand, I was alarmed by my sister's situation, while on the other hand I could not stop sending murderous glances at Mon-el, who was watching from the door.

I sighed, I had to solve the problems one by one, so without warning I pushed him into the hall, surprising him.

"Is it a good idea to make a living using your powers that way?" I shouted, pouring all my anger at him.

"It's none of your business," he replied simply.

"Yes it is, because my sister believes in you, believes that you can be a superhero, but no, you beat aliens for money" I debated back leaving him without comments. "Kara is hurt because she gave her life for others, but you're too coward to do it, "I said." Seriously, I didn't think ... You know what? Never mind forget it" I asked and without giving him the opportunity to speak I entered the room.

I sat on a stool next to my sister, watching her, wishing that the artificial light was enough to bring her back to life and in good condition, since she needed to be well.

I grabbed her hand before resting my head on the stretcher feeling as the tiredness was becoming more and more present, so that without being able to avoid it I fell asleep.

I woke up startled the moment I noticed my sister move, in addition to Alex's voice asking her to calm down. I looked at her tiredly, trying to smile at her as she stroked my hair.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine, Kaelah," she smiled. "Is Parasite attacking?" She asked Alex.

"Yes, Mon-el is there," she said to our amazement, What was he doing there?

After my entreaties to stay, my sister went away again despite being aware of what would happen if that thing attacked her again, and the truth is that I refused.

I ran to the training room with the need to hit something, to relieve myself, striking with too much force the bag that was hang.

I honestly could not say how long I was alone until a voice got me out of my abstraction.

"I don't know who you're thinking about, but you would have killed him," Mon-el said. "I hope you weren't thinking of me," he said, causing my laughter.

"I wasn't thinking of anyone, I just needed to hit something," I explained, turning to look at him seriously. "Thanks"

"Why?" He asked, confused.

"To stand there and fight like a hero," I replied, watching as he smiled slightly as I was aware of what time it was. "I should go home, are you coming?" I asked.

However, he did not respond directly, but he started to walk behind me, which I interpreted as he was coming home. The truth is that the way home was being quite quiet on the part of both, if we were sincere, I did not know what to talk about.

He stopped, to my amazement, to help a man who had sat on the sidewalk, however, what continued was confusing, for that man gave him an electric shock by throwing him to the ground, causing me to shout his name alarmed by the situation. The moment I knew I had to act was when a van came to a stop, they were going to kidnap him, and the truth is, I was sure I knew who they were.

I struck hard at two men who were holding him, getting him released, but they grabbed me, but not for long, because I managed to let go.

"Take them both, the Kryptonian can be useful" I heard someone saying from the inside, however, I came back to defend myself when they tried again.

I felt something stuck in my neck, making me palpate it confused, but I did not have time to find out what it was, for I fell unconscious to the ground.
