Five days without knowing anything about her, three days with a new identity, controlling the situation better than the day before.
"Kaelah" Alex called me. "Fire in the center" she communicated.
"I'm going there," I replied, backing into my path.
I liked to fly, it made me feel free, that nobody controlled me, that nobody could hurt me. I did not take long to locate it, so I flew there determined.
I tried, but as much as I tried to stifle it, the more it grew, I needed help, I could not do it alone.
I was quite surprised when the flame began to die out, looking for who was doing it, feeling tears stream down my cheeks when I saw her there.
"Supergirl," I called, watching the surprise on her face as she approached me.
"What are you doing here?" She asked me, but that question should be asked by me. "Let's turn it off, then you explain." She looked at me as I tried to nod.
I collaborated with her despite not being focused on what she was doing, because I did need an explanation why she had disappeared, so when we arrived at DEO, I ended up breaking, sobbing before hastening to embrace her.
"I've missed you, too, Kaelah." She stroked my hair.
"Why?" I questioned her in a whisper, unable to control my sobs.
"Remember Barry, who was from another Earth?" She brushed the hair from my face as I nodded. "He showed up in my apartment, needed help with the Dominators, Kaelah, I couldn't tell him no." She paused to look at me. "I didn't want to tell you, so you didn't try to embark on something dangerous" she explained caressing my face. "But I've come back and I promise that the next time I think to tell you, I know I've hurt you a lot with this, I'm sorry"she hugged me again.
"I thought CADMUS had you" I said. "That same night they entered the apartment, I ... they took myblood and took my diary and the stuffed animal" I cried again. "They took the only thing I had left of you" I buried my face in my hands without being able to control me.
"Hey, shh, calm down" she hugged me tightly before wiping my tears, but no, I could not do it, I was aware of it.
I looked at the door as it opened, smiling at my sister and Alex.
"Hey, are you any better?" Kara asked, receiving a statement from me. "You know, at first I thought I was going to scold you for all this to become a superhero," she started to approach. "But when Alex told me ..., You did what you had to do, you were prepared, much better than I when I started" she smiled. "You don't know how proud I am of you" she embraced me before separating, emotion contained in her eyes. "I also love the idea of us working together" She remarked.
"Me too," I said, smiling at her.
"Kaelah, sweetheart, I didn't want to ask you before because I didn't know how you were going to react," Alex said, approaching. "Is there enough information in that diary to hurt you?" SShe asked.
"Not just me, but all the people I love," I replied, bowing my head.
They both nodded at my statement without saying anything else, as if they did not want to make me nervous about it, but the truth is that I did not need anyone to do it for me.
It had been three days since she had returned, since everything had returned to normal.
I threw myself on the couch with the intention of resting, of sleeping even, for the truth that the fatigue that invaded me was too much to keep me up.
"Hey, aren't you coming?" My sister asked, getting me confused. "You remember Mon-el had invited us to his apartment, don't you?" She looked at me strangely.
I sighed without wanting to do it, not wanting to go, yes, I remembered, it had been before Thanksgiving dinner when he said it, but things were very different right now, so it was not very funny to have to go.
"I know you argued with him, Alex told me, let it be" she tried to convince me.
"No, I'm not going," I assured her without a doubt.
"Okay, okay, you're not coming" she sighed. "I send the address in case you regret or something happens ..." she looked at me. "I love you, I'll see you later, Kaelah."
I smiled as I watched her go before turning on the television with the sole intention of sleeping, but the anxiety was increasing as the minutes went by and the truth was that I was convinced I knew why.
I did not want to go, I did not want to, because I did not want to see him, but what were my other options? Stay home and continue eating my head while I thought CADMUS was going to re-enter the apartment.
I closed my eyes trying to think, knowing that it was the best thing for me, so before I could regret it, I left in the direction my sister had sent me.
I knocked on the door in despair, being aware of who was going to open it, which made me nervous.
"Hey, I thought you weren't coming," he said.
"And I was not going to do it, but I need to talk to my sister," I explained, hoping he would call her or let me in, but not be alone with me any longer.
He nodded slightly before inviting me in to call my sister, who approached with concern as did Alex.
"Hey, what happened? They attacked you?" She asked suddenly.
"No, no, it's just that I couldn't stand alone at home any longer, I can't," I explained, making my sister hug me.
"Kaelah, you have to believe in yourself" she looked at me. "You do it to be Kryptogirl, what is the difference?" She asked me.
"It's not the same, being Kaelah scares me since that happened," I said. "But being Kryptogirl made me feel free, that no one can hurt me." I ducked my head, hiding some of the information.
"There's something else, right?" Alex asked, as my sister continued.
"You're afraid that I will disappear again, right, Kaelah?" She asked me as I nodded, holding back tears. "Hey, I'm not going to leave without telling you, I promise you," she hugged me, getting me to start crying over her shoulder. "Let's go home, okay?" She pulled me away from her.
"No ... Kara, I don't want you to leave aside your plans for me" I bowed my head feeling bad.
"It's no problem." She stroked my face. "We're leaving."
"No, seriously, Kara ..." I complained.
"So what do we do?" She asked angrily.
"It's not that I've been listening, it's just that she can sleep in my room until you go," Mon-el said, getting me to turn to him. "Okay, maybe it wasn't a good idea ..." He looked at me frightened.
"I don't think that's a bad idea," my sister said, waiting for my answer.
I sighed, I was tired, but the fact of having to sleep in a place that was not my room, made me nervous, it disturbed me enough that the hyperactivity would attack me.
I nodded slightly unsafe, letting myself be guided by him along with my sister, laying me down, looking for her a few seconds later.
"Hey, hey, I'm here." She stroked my hair as I looked for Mon-el.
"Thank you," I whispered audibly, but enough for him, for he smiled slightly before leaving the room.
I closed my eyes trying to relax, getting to sleep in a few seconds.
She left the room after being completely convinced that she was asleep, worried, for she honestly did not know what to do to remove that irrational fear she had acquired.
"How is she?" Mon-el asked, unable to hide her concern.
"Asleep, I suppose," she replied, the doubt was present. "I don't know how to make her see that I'm not going to leave, that everything is fine," she explained. "I also think the discussion she had with you affects her," she said "I know I told you to protect her, but neither did you prevent her from being what she wanted," she said, watching as his face changed, there was something else. "You may not want to answer, do you feel something for Kaelah? "She questioned directly.
"No," he said, surprising her. "I'm afraid they can hurt her, that's all," he defended himself. "Besides, even if I had them, your sister has already made things very clear about what she feels." he commented as if he were hurt by the situation.
She nodded in surprise, but did not want to ask anything more, surprised by everything she had just heard, because it was obvious that Mon-el had feelings for her, but what her sister felt was not very clear, if she was sincere.
