Chapter Text
I wasn't in as good a vibe as I was writing the fic, so here's the rewritten prologue... for the second time and hopefully the last, there will be no plot changes that have already been written; I just chose to write in a way that I felt more comfortable with. So stay there with the chapter! I hope you like how it turned out.
...
Late afternoon in National City, a holiday from their tired routines almost over. Many people prefer to go out with friends, have a party, others like a certain blonde alien; they prefer to sleep for hours, but when something has to happen that day, nobody stops it from happening, not even a sleepy person...
...
Kara wakes up to the sound of her bedroom door being opened abruptly, startling her with the sudden noise, then still half asleep she sits up in bed and looks confused and irritated at her sister, as much as a person dying of sleep who ends up of waking up would do it.
- You still haven't dressed? Seriously? Alex asks seriously, crossing his arms.
- Today is my day off, Alex! And as far as I know, I didn't plan on doing anything today! - Kara grumbles returning to lie down.
- I knew you hadn't heard me talk to you yesterday! I made a date for you today! - Alex says to his sister's surprise,
Kara was tired of it, her sister has been trying to set up dates for her since she broke up with Maggie, after Kara couldn't help but ask how she was doing; the redhead didn't like the question, deciding that she was going to focus on her sister's love life so they couldn't focus on hers. Kara understood the feeling, very well knowing she couldn't be with the one she cares about so much; love… she had already made that choice years ago.
- Again, Alex? I don't know, I would be embarrassed like the other time! - Kara argues against her sister, who had prepared for this.
- You slept almost all your rest! Do it for your sister! - Alex tries to persuade her, and Kara didn't seem inclined to agree making Alex snort.
- It will not work! You've already tried that last time! - Kara replies in a bad mood, she was sure that soon she would have to accept, Alexandra Danvers is not one to give up so easy.
- Okay, so I promise you it will be the last time I do this... but you'll have to go on this date first! - she says changing her basic strategy, and kara soon raises a doubtful eyebrow.
- Okay... I'll go then! If this will stop you from trying to play Cupid on me! - Kara grumbles rolling her eyes and getting up from the bed reluctantly.
- I promise! Girl scout word! - Alex exclaims contentedly going to hug his sister who was laughing, seeing her bad mood diminish.
- And when were you a Girl Scout? - Kara asks laughing.
- Okay! Okay, so word of sister! - Alex corrects himself joining his sister.
...
Kara could easily make this date on her loser list, James; her date date didn't even show up, the blonde had never felt so embarrassed before with the waiter coming to her table several times asking her if she would ever want to order, until she couldn't bear to see the pitying look on the guy and placed her order, in the end she paid and practically ran out of the fancy restaurant, James would find her and now she might not know the guy but she was sure of one thing; she didn't like the guy, which being honest is rare.
And when Kara was already in the park in front of her building she had an accident, she saw him in the park after years of trying to avoid everything, and this resulted in falling into the lake that was in the middle of the park; whoever was in the park was either laughing, or holding back laughter.
To Kara's dismay it was himself who offered a hand to rise, and at the end of their awkward conversation Kara managed to blurt out his name; Mon-El, and during the conversation he never told her her name, since she had rebutted him shortly afterwards when he said he seemed to know her from somewhere.
As soon as Kara arrives at her loft, she realizes she was without her only way to unlock the door; his key, which he probably left behind with his handbag. Being tired from her night, Kara mutters to herself how stupid and careless she had been, in the end choosing not to come back now she was too embarrassed and too tired for that. So yelling at her sister to open the door will have to do.
-NO ONE'S AT HOME!-Kara hears her scream from inside the apartment making the blonde roll her eyes, not believing what she had just heard
-Really, Alex?!?!-Kara shouts the question to see if that way she opens the door. The blonde hears a click and sees the door open.
-I thought you had the key! You're the owner of the apartment!- Alex exclaims incredulously.
-I fell into a lake and lost my bag where I left the key.- Kara clarifies entering the apartment and closing the door.
-Well ... that explains why you're all soaked ..- she says second herself so as not to laugh.- But leaving that aside, how was the date? - Asks sitting on the couch.
- He didn't show up! -Kara shouts the answer, going towards her room soon taking off her shoes and throwing them in any corner of the room.
- HE WHAT? - Alex exclaims going after his sister.
- He didn't go, I knew it would go bad, I just didn't know he wouldn't go!- Kara repeats going to look for an outfit in her wardrobe.
-Sorry sister, I also had no idea he wouldn't show up!-She says trying to justify herself.
- Just don't do it again! You know I haven't been trying to date since Adam!- Kara says turning to face her sister.
-I know that, and I also know that you have reason to be afraid to try again, but not everyone is like Adam!-She speaks getting up, ready to protest against her sister's arguments.
-I know that! But that doesn't negate the fact that I tried every time you set up a date for me and it just didn't work! -Kara exclaims nervously, and realizing that she was going to say something to try to protest Kara continues in the same tone as before.
- And why wouldn't you want to go ahead and forget about the idiot who snubbed you several times while you were dating, the guy who made you suffer so much?!? - confused question, not understanding his sister's words.
- It's not Adam I talked about last... - Kara answers sighing and Alex looks at her with pity and asks - It's him, isn't it? Kara you can't get so attached to the past like that!
- I know that.... but what I do when I was finally able to try to overcome it goes wrong!- Kara vents, sitting on the floor.
- Hey, I was the wrong one to keep trying to make you go out on dates even though you're not ready for it... maybe you could have forgotten these two... who by the way didn't deserve you - says sitting next to her sister and hugging.
-Do you think that if I hadn't done it that way it could have worked?-Kara, the question depressed with this topic coming unstuck.
-Look, it's very difficult for first love to be reciprocal, much less work out... but why did you think about it again? - he asks breaking the hug and looking at her intrigued.
- I saw him today... that's why I fell into the lake, I was very close and when I saw him I got a fright and lost my balance and fell- Kara responds looking at her hands embarrassed.
- Wow, well... as you had a bad day, thanks to me, you'll take a shower and put on your more comfortable pajamas and rest, and I'll go look for your key!- Alex exclaims getting up, going in towards the door.
...
- Earth to Mon-El!- Mon-El hears his mother speak as he waves his hands in front of his eyes.
- What's it? Are we there yet?- Mon-El asks looking out the car window, seeing the fast-paced morning traffic in National City.
- Yes, look, you kept looking at your cell phone with a strange face all the way, what were you looking at so much? - he asks and Mon-El answers him - You'll definitely laugh at me, but I'll tell you anyway, why if I don't tell anyone I'll go crazy!.
-Do you remember that in high school I started getting messages from a girl who said she was into me?-Mon-El asked me to make sure she remembered.
- I remember yes, you started talking every day, you had just been rejected by the girl you had a crush on, so you started talking to her because you liked knowing that even though you were rejected there was someone who liked you, but after months of talking you started to like her, didn't you?- question a little uncertain.
- Yes... but even after so long talking she had never said her full name, she just told me that her name started with a K, and when the year was almost over, she asked me if I wanted to go to the dance. masks with her from the end of the year, I accepted, and I was really excited because I thought it was the perfect time to declare myself to her, and finally know who she was....but when the party was almost over and we were dancing the last dance of the night she kissed me and i wanted to reciprocate, but i got stuck, so when i finally unlocked it it was too late she was already gone, and after that day she never spoke to me again, i even texted .. ..but she never got around to answering...- Mon-El says remembering the details of that day.- But the focus is that yesterday, I think I saw her...- Mon-El adds remembering the girl from the park .
- But how do you know it's her? - Rhea questions her son raising her eyebrows.
- In general, she looks like her, has a very similar voice... and she has the same eyes that resemble comets... - Mon-El responds thoughtfully.
He knew he could be wrong, but he wanted to take a chance and he didn't want to miss this second chance, he needs to understand what happened that day; he wants to understand her motives and he wants to tell her his motives, and what he most wants to understand is; did she feel the same? Not even if it was only then.
...
- How are you feeling, James Olsen? -A voice asks sarcastically, making him look for where the voice comes from, having no success realizing that he was alone in a dimly lit room. James tried to get up from the floor, but failed to feel pressure around his calf, but ignored it and tried to get up again, regretting it right away when he felt tremendous pain in his leg, the same leg that was stuck.
- I think you better be quiet, or you will end up hurting more, James! And I really don't want to have to hurt any humans, let alone someone who will be very useful going forward! - The voice comments subtly.
- Who are you?!?! What do you want with me?! James asked annoyed.
- My name is Lílian Luthor! You may have heard about my son, Lex! But we met in another life, and in this other life I discovered that you have many attributes that will serve me very well to guarantee my victory! That's why Mr. Olsen, you're here!- Lily explained at length.
