"Can you tell what was going through your head?" Asked my sister once in the DEO. "I don't even know how you convinced him to wait until next week," she shook her head.
I sighed, shrugging my shoulders, trying not to start crying again, because at the moment I only remembered the discussion I had with Mon-el as a result of all this, what had ended with him leaving in anger and with me crying.
"Hey, why do I have the feeling someone's dead?" Alex asked, entering the room.
"Say goodbye to Kaelah, we have a week to do it," said my sister annoyed.
"Why?" She asked.
"She's going to get married," Kara said. "She's going to marry Mon-el's brother," she explained.
"With whom?" Alex raised an eyebrow confused.
"With my supposed mate," I said, "Mon-el was not the heir to Daxam's crown, it was his brother, and so it was he who was destined to marry me." I explained as best I could. "I'm keeping one of the people I love the most, he would have killed him if I had not been for this. "I bent my head, fighting my tears.
Alex did not ask for anything else, just came up to hug me, causing me to start crying, to finally break me, to let me see the negative side to all this.
"I think it's very noble of you to do what you're doing, but do you think it's good for us?" She pulled me away from her to look at me, getting me to shrug. "I don't get the idea of losing you, Kara a lot less and Mon-el ..., how do you think he's going to be able to overcome all this? "She asked.
"It's the only solution," I answered. "For him and me, this mark will not disappear unless I marry him and, worst of all, if I don't, it's going to kill me," I explained sobbing.
"Kaelah, that's just a legend," my sister complained. "It doesn't have to happen," she tried to assure, but only managed to roll my eyes.
It could be that she was right and nothing was going to happen, but it had never been the case of someone who had rejected its mate, so it was not verified whether that legend was true or not, but I was not going to risk it.
"What do you say if we do something this afternoon?" Alex asked, hugging me again. "I can tell Maggie ..."
"No ... I don't want to do anything ... it's just going to complicate things," I denied.
"All right," she whispered, kissing my forehead.
I heard the doorbell in the background, but I did not feel like getting up out of bed, so as to have to do that nothing happened, I simply could not. Besides, Mon-el continued to ignore me, not responding to any of the messages I had sent him.
I closed my eyes tightly the moment I heard the door open. Maggie, her thoughts were enough to indicate that it was her.
"Hey ..." she whispered, sitting in bed. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"No" I said. "Mon-el doesn't want to know anything about me, it's like he has the right to be angry about all this, "I complained, wanting to avoid tears.
"You know he's not mad at you, don't you?" She asked, looking at her. "He's angry, disappointed, with himself, because he's losing you and he can not do anything to remedy it," she explained. "He feels guilty, Kaelah." She brushed the hair off my face." And you shouldn't have to keep thinking about this, so come and do something, you'll be fine, "she said, smiling.
I looked at her, so I got out of bed to follow her into the living room, with the look of astonishment of my sister.
"You see who I've managed to get out, huh?" Maggie smiled.
Honestly, I could not stop thinking about everything else, but sitting with them, I relaxed, fact that made me remember that this scene could not repeat itself. I ducked my head in tears threatening to get out of my eyes, trying to avoid it, but unable to do so.
"Kaelah ..." spoke my sister. "No, no, Kaelah" she hugged me against her causing me to start crying "Shh, do not collapse now, hey ..." she whispered hugging me tightly.
"I don't know why I'm doing this," I sobbed, embracing her.
My sister did not respond as she only increased the strength of the hug, trying to calm me, however, I was not better, but worse, becoming embraced by Alex for the rest of the night.
"Do you promise me you will not forget us?" She asked me, nodding. "We love you." She kissed my forehead before hugging me one last time.
I said goodbye to them before huddling with my sister in the couch, unable to think about all this, everything that would happen in just a week, ending up falling asleep hugging her. However, once I opened my eyes, it had only been half an hour since I had fallen asleep, but that was not the fact that caught my attention, but Mon-el had sent me a message apologizing for how he was behaving, claiming all that Maggie had told me earlier.
I sighed as I lay my sister on the bed, so after making sure everything was picked up, I left.
I knocked on the door waiting for him to open it, throwing me into his arms as he tear me apart.
"Hey, sorry" he hugged me back. "I'm sorry I behaved like this, but you have to understand me, Kaelah, I'm allowing you to surrender to him and I don't want to do so" he grabbed my face to look at him. "I see reflected fear in your eyes and breaks my heart, seriously, I don't want him to hurt you" he hugged me again and I managed to close my eyes, allowing him to pick me up and sit with me in the couch, resting my head on his shoulder wanting to sleep.
I opened my eyes confused, trying to locate the room, whereupon Mon-el slept soundly at my side which made me smile silly as I watched him, unable to avoid stroking his hair.
I sighed, I was in his room, in his bed, with one of his t-shirts as pajamas and for a moment, memories of what happened the previous night assaulted my head, fact that made me cover my face feeling my cheeks were turning red with shame.
"Mon-el" I tried to wake him up, I had to leave before my sister could wake up and notice my absence. "Mon-el, wake up" this time I hit his arm, getting him to open his eyes, watching me with confusion. "I must go" I whispered as he hugged me, forcing my head against his chest.
"I don't want you to go," he stroked my hair. "Tell me when you're home," he asked me.
I finally got up to get dressed before kissing him and finally leaving. When I got to the apartment, I put on my pajamas, wanting to pretend that I had been home all night, although I had to admit that it was practically six o'clock in the morning. However, I decided to lie down next to my sister, knowing that I was not going to sleep, although I fell asleep, besieging as Kara removed the hair from my face before kissing my forehead.
"I thought you didn't want to sleep with me," she said, getting me to laugh.
"I couldn't sleep," I admitted with a small smile.
My sister smiled as she tried to hug me, but I moved with laughter, watching as she pouted before throwing me a cushion causing her laughter. However, we were demanded in the DEO, because they were supposed to bring a prisoner and they wanted us all there, so we had no choice but to prepare ourselves, meeting with everyone there.
As J'onn had just explained, this was not a normal prisoner, the truth is that you only had to see him to realize that it was true, although the confusion appeared the moment he reported that he had been looking for my sister, as I was beginning to remember Mxyzptlk.
"Supergirl," I called her the moment I saw her move toward him, but she did not stop.
Mon-el was the first to react when she fell unconscious, slowing her fall, observing how he used the device that communicated both universes, claiming that he was going to visit the Earth's fastest man, Barry.
"I got it!" Winn exclaimed with the device.
"I have to go, warn them," I said.
"Alex, you're in charge of the DEO," J'onn ordered, "Kaelah, you're coming with me." He pointed to what I nodded slightly.
"I'm going too," added Mon-el, which made J'onn shake his head. "Please," he begged.
"All right, let's go," he said, waiting for Winn to open the portal.
"Bring her back," Alex said.
"We'll do it, I'll take care of it," I said before we decided to cross it, ready to visit a new universe, but the question was, would they believe us?
