Despite what had happened the day before, he had listened to Kara and had kept an eye on her.

She still had a fever, and they were not able to bring it down, so everyone was worried, always leaving someone with her, because they did not trust her to leave her alone.

He grabbed her hand, feeling her grip on his, seeming to be regaining consciousness, a fact that came when she opened her eyes.

"Hey," he smiled, brushing her hair away from her face. "Are you feeling better?" He asked, seeing confusion on her face.

"I need you to promise me something," she whispered, holding back tears, so he nodded. "If ... if anything happens to me, tell my sister that I love her ... that she can overcome it ..."

"You're not dying," he interrupted, refusing.

"Shh, let me speak" she complained to his interruption. "She must be strong, not surrender ..., Tell Alex to keep looking after her, not to blame herself for not being able to save me and … that she's like my older sister" She said, closing his eyes, remaining silent.

"I will, but you're not dying, Kaelah." he denied it again.

"There is something else" she looked directly into his eyes. "I think ... I think I'm falling in love with ..." the sentence was halved, because the girl's heart stopped, causing the machines to start sounding and that within a few seconds the doctors entered the room.

They threw him out of the room without anything to do with it, joining Kara, who watched the inside of the room with tears in her eyes, holding up to the scene it was living inside.

He sat down in one of the chairs with his head down, not daring to look inside, feeling as the time did not seem to pass. Honestly, he could not believe it, he could not believe it was true, that she would die so easily, much less after he had heard her say it, was she recognizing it? Or was it the fever? He had no answer, but the truth is that this whole situation was beyond doubt.

"She's okay," Alex said, getting his head up to look at her, looking away through the window to make sure, the machines had stopped beeping. "I still don't know exactly what's changed, but the fever seems to have gone down despite all this" she explained, surprising him, because he did not understand how it could be possible, however, he refrained from asking questions, assuring himself once more time that she was alive.

I opened my eyes tiredly, turning my head to find my sister, however, I was surprised when I saw Mon-el lying on the bed next to mine, with an IV in his arm, unconscious, so I tried to sit up, holding me when I heard the screams of my sister, who grabbed me by throwing me back on the stretcher.

"Hey, where do you want to go?" She smiled at me as I turned my head towards him, watching him with concern. "We don't know exactly what it is yet, but he will be fine," she assured me. "Since when do you worry so much for him?" She asked me.

"Since we shared a cell and he almost died," I replied, watching as my sister nodded slightly without being convinced about it, but without asking any more questions.

"Kara, we need you," Alex called from the door.

"Can I trust you?" She looked at me, receiving a statement from me.

She left the room leaving us alone, causing, even though I should not do it, I stood up, standing up to approach him, sitting next to him.

I grabbed his hand while watching him, seemed to have a fever, but why? I sighed caressing his hair, wishing she was okay, scaring me when he turned his head as he opened his eyes to look at me.

"Hey" I smiled at him.

"Hey," he replied back. "Eliza thinks I'm dying," he said.

"No ... don't say that, it's not true," I denied. "Mon-el, you're not going to die, I'm not going to let you." I narrowed my eyes and managed to smile.

I watched as he sat up, sitting down before placing his hand on my cheek, drawing me close to him, making me try to push myself back, but without stopping him. I forced myself to close my eyes, feeling his forehead against mine.

"You know you're beautiful," he whispered shortly before kissing me. "Totally beautiful ..." he whispered, breaking the kiss, lying down again. "You've been since you were a baby," he said, closing his eyes, surprising me.

"Mon-el ..." I tried to call him, but he had fallen asleep again.

"Kaelah!" The cry of my sister frightened me. "Can you tell what I've told you?"

I bowed my head unwillingly to answer her, returning to my bed, lying down without daring to look at her, for I was afraid of her now.

She approached me in silence, standing in my field of vision, placing her hand on my cheek, caressing it.

"What's going on?" I asked, knowing that she had an answer to give me and that she would.

"Medusa," she replied, getting me to look at her in alarm. "I knew you were going to know what I meant," she said.

"I ... I was in the laboratory when he did it and ... I believed in his good intentions, I did" I looked at her beginning to feel guilty. "I was only eight years old and he explained that he wanted to protect us, that Krypton was in danger" I started to cry. "I was afraid of if it was true and I decided to believe in his cause, because I knew he could not harm us, but I was scared that another planet could do the same," I explained between sobs.

"Kaelah, shh, it's not your fault," she whispered, hugging me. "It's not your fault, he's going to be fine, okay?" She tried to convince me, but that virus could be too powerful. "It's going to be okay, I promise, "she assured me, wiping my tears away.

I nodded at all her claims, knowing that they were true, but fearing that we were wrong and that virus would kill him.

It was barely a couple of minutes since Mon-el had returned to himself since the second time he had sunk into unconsciousness, fully recovered. However, now the attention was received by Kaelah, for in that period of time, her vital signs had changed.

"Do you remember that I was convinced that something was changed?" Alex asked, entering the room. "She's right now under the effect of Black Mercy," she explained to her astonishment.

"What?" She looked at her before turning to her sister, placing her hand on her face. "We have to get her out of that dream," she asserted as if no one else knew.

"Winn is seeing how he can introduce someone into the dream," explained Alex. "You're going to want to?" She asked, causing her to duck her head, she could not do it.

"No, I can not live it again, I'll confuse her, we need her to believe us," Alex said, nodding at the information.

She watched her sister with tears in her eyes, who was so cruel as to make her lose everything again? She knew perfectly well that Kaelah was not ready for it.
