"Chocolate!" I exclaimed the moment he showed it to me, wanting me to open the door, truly impatient.
"You know what your sister says about the sweets, but I don't think anything will happen to you, "he said making me rage, because he did not open it, which made me hit the glass, frightening him. "Calm down" he asked between laughs, opening the door, so I ran to take the chocolate, watching as he lifted his arm and put his face for me to kiss him, but I beat him and levitating until I reached it. "Hey!" he complained.
However, it was not until I had eaten half of the chocolate when I approached him and I kissed his cheek, causing him to hug me with a smile before kissing my forehead and let me continue to eat.
We both watched each other for a couple of seconds, being interrupted by a voice behind us, but it drove Mon-el to put me back into that cell, closing it before turning as I closed my eyes.
"It's simple, Mon-el," his mother began to speak. "Give me the Kryptonian and there will be no need to do it by force," she warned at the same time he shook his head. "It's her destiny," she said as if it were enough.
"No, Mother," he replied, placing himself where was the only button able to unlock the door. "I will not give her to you," he denied.
"Okay," she sighed, looking at me. "Sweetheart, there's no need for us to have to force you," he said, making her look confused for a couple of seconds.
"Do not answer, Kaelah," Mon-el looked at me seriously. "You know Kon-el's going to hurt her, I will not allow it," he said.
"It was your decision, it's going to have to be rough then," she sighed before leaving the same way she had appeared.
I went to speak, but after watching him shake his head I stopped, keeping silent as I watched him approach the door, finally opening it and entering the interior, hugging me against him before crying. I hugged him back, wanting to calm him down, for I did not understand what had driven him to this.
"Mon-el ..." I called him trying to look at me, but he did not. "Crying doesn't make you vulnerable to the others, you don't have to be ashamed" I said separating myself from him, watching as he nodded slightly and towards an attempt to dry the tears before daring to look at me. "Everything will be fine, okay?" I smiled slightly.
"Since when have we changed roles?" He asked, stroking my face to what I shrugged. "As long as you're safe, everything will be fine." He kissed my forehead.
"Wait, I don't understand." I looked at my confused sister, who was watching the alien they had just stopped. "Is there a reward for your head?" I asked her only nodding, noting how Alex was dangerously approaching the cell, determined to make him speak by force, because it was still unknown who had been.
"Danvers, no," J'onn's voice came.
We were all silent watching him, seeing as they were establishing a connection through the mind, he was struggling to find an answer, but only the stronger of the two was going to get it, luckily, it was J'onn.
"The daxamites, Rhea," he said, making me look at Mon-el, remembering her mother's words.
I was actually going to do it the bad way and there was only one way to avoid it, that could hurt my sister, so before anyone could notice, I left the room, advancing through the DEO to where I left the device that Mon- el handed me weeks ago, which had the exact coordinates to reach the other side.
I sighed nervously before squeezing it as I closed my eyes, reopening them the moment I was there, listening to Rhea's voice, which made me turn around trying to locate her.
"I'll make a deal," I said the moment he was in front of me. "I'll marry Kon-el if you stops hurting my sister," I explained.
"It seems fair to me," she smiled, showing me how she ended up with the search and capture of Kara. "Accompanying her to his room," she motioned for several guards to approach.
They actually led me to a room, where they left me alone, at which point I broke down, starting to cry repenting of my decision despite knowing that I was doing the right thing, knowing that at the moment they would be looking for me, even if they thought it seriously, it was obvious where I was.
I lay on the bed on my back, closing my eyes in tears, trying to calm myself down, but I opened them in utter panic the moment I heard the voice of Kon-el, who was watching me from the door, smiling at me.
"Hey, princess" he made an attempt to approach, but I distanced myself from him a little nervous about his presence. "I see that my brother made you afraid of me," he said before smiling and shaking his head. "I will not hurt you," he said, but I was not sure if I should believe him, however, I allowed him to sit next to me, turning my face away the moment he tried to touch me. "It's going to cost, but I assure you I never get a no" he grabbed my chin as tears came back down my cheeks, though I struggled to keep them in my eyes as if I was not scared, when the only thing I wanted at the moment was to let me go, but he did not, but he caressed my cheek, placing my hair behind my ear. "You're going to end up falling in love with me." He smiled, letting go, rising as I rolled my eyes.
"No, I doubt it," I said in a whisper.
"You're challenging me, Kryptonian?" He turned to look at me.
"I tell the truth," I said. "I love and I will love Mon-el, that will not change," I said, wiping my tears, telling the truth without being able to avoid it, even knowing he would be angry.
I closed my eyes trying to calm myself, but I heard too many voices, my sister and Mon-el asking me to return, not to do this, Kon-el grabbing me and ordering me to stay.
I sighed looking at my sister, wanting to run to hug her, fighting to get rid of the grip, without getting to get it, which got her to face him realizing that it was starting to hurt, but he did not. Finally, I managed to let go, approaching them without hesitating to hug Kara, sobbing over her shoulder.
"Kara, please, go" I begged before turning to Mon-el. "I'll be fine," I wanted to assure him before I hugged him.
He held me close to him for a couple of seconds before I separated from him and grabbed my face with both hands, watching me for a couple of seconds, ending up kissing me.
"You're going to be fine," he said, kissing my forehead. "I'm staying," he said.
"No, you're not going to do it," I denied threatening to start crying again. "Please, don't do it," I asked.
"Brother, no matter how much I appreciate your presence, not around her, so go," he seized me again, separating me from Mon-el.
"I love you," I whispered before they disappeared, crying again.
"You know that your brother must come, Kon-el" his mother scolded, making me smile, the longer it happened that Mon-el came, the later we would leave, was a way to keep us tied to National City. "Now let's celebrate a wedding." She smiled, watching us.
No, no and no, I refused to share a room with him, I was not going to do it, for Rao, they could not expect me to get used to everything in just a few minutes, so I was in the door inadvertently entering, beginning to exasperate Kon-el.
He grabbed me trying to pull me in, but I resisted, pulling back, watching as he looked at me for a few seconds before picking me up, which only got me to struggle, starting to cry the moment I realized that he was not going to let me go, feeling like he was sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging me against him as if he was trying to calm me down.
"Shh, calm down," he whispered caressing my hair. "It's okay," he said in a reassuring voice.
All that, however, was all he could do to bring me back to me, sobbing with more force as I begged him to let me go, but obviously he was not going to do it, since he grabbed me harder.
"I understand that today you're scared, but tomorrow I don't receive a denial," he said getting me to look at him. "I'm sure my brother has already touched you," he said, when I paled, wanting to hide my face from him. "I knew it, but nothing happens, Princess, "he assured me, kissing my forehead.
I rubbed my eyes feeling as he hugged me back, forcing me to place my head on his shoulder despite the fact that I refused to do so. I continued to cry until the tiredness became present, beginning to fall asleep on his shoulder, forcing me to open my eyes the moment he left me on the bed, scared.
"Shh, go to sleep." He brushed the hair off my face, but I knew right now that I needed something to feel safe and, although it might be a childlike gesture, it was the only thing that would calm me down, so I was quite surprised when he put it by my side "I know you sleep with it, don't ask how I got it," he said as I hugged it through tears.
"Thank you," I whispered, watching him smile.
I cuddled up on my own still crying, but keeping that stuffed animal as close as I could, knowing that as long as I did, my sister would be with me.
