Karamel: Complicated {Part One}

10 • Reckless

Kara and Mon-el arrived at CatCo. It was a complete mess, furniture destroyed and scattered everywhere. People were running around trying not to get hit by the lighting bolts being shot everywhere by Livewire.

"Help people get out of here, I'll get Livewire." Mon-el told Kara. "On it."

Kara ran over and started helping people up and pushing them towards the exit.

Mon-el walked towards Livewire. "Give it up Leslie! You know how this ends, I win, you lose and end up back in prison. Just surrender now, it will save us both a lot of trouble!".

"That's not my NAME!" Livewire said as she shot a bolt of lightning at Mon-el. He was thrown back, crashing into some desks.

Mon-el sighed. "I didn't want to do this..." he said bitterly. Then charged at her, trying to knock her over but she had used her powers transported behind him. Before he had chance to turn round, she'd kicked him, sending him flying though the windows of Cat Grants office.

"Superman!" Kara shouted. Mon-el stood up. "Stay back! Don't worry about me! Help the civilians!" Kara nodded.

Mon-el ran at super speed towards Livewire and punched her, sending her stumbling back. Livewire then hit Mon-el again with another bolt of lightning. Then bent down and kicked at his legs, causing him to fall on his back.

Using her powers she then wrapped a bolt of electricity around Mon-el's hands, causing him to scream in pain.

Kara was helping the last few remaining people out of the room when she heard him screaming. She heisted, unsure if she should help the people behind her or him. She chose the latter, running at super speed towards Livewire, hitting her, sending her flying.

Livewire stood up, laughing. "You just made a huge mistake!" She shot a bolt of lighting at Kara's chest, causing her to be thrown backwards, crashing into one of the glass dividers, knocking her out.

By this point Mon-el had managed to stand up. And as Livewire turned back towards him, he punched her, she fell to the ground and passed out.

Kara woke up on one of the beds in the med bay at the DEO. Alex was standing over at one of the many tables in the room.

"Hey how you feeling?" She asked. "A bit exhausted but ok." Kara replied.

"Good. I think Mon-el wants to talk to you. He's downstairs, in the training room." Alex told her.

Kara nodded and made her way down to the room.

When she entered she saw Mon-el hitting a punching bag.

"Hey." Kara said. Mon-el turned around. "How you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Did you catch Livewire?"
"Yeah."
"That's good."
Mon-el said nothing.
"You alright? You should be happy, we got her."
"Don't get me wrong, I am happy we caught her, but Kara you could of got badly hurt."

Kara had a confused look on her face. "What do you mean?"
"When you got knocked out by Livewire, your lucky she didn't hit you harder or you could of died!"
"Mon-el what's the big deal? We got her. That's all that matters."
"The big deal is that you went against what I told you to do! You were reckless and it almost cost you your life!"
"Mon-el calm down! I'm fine! Stop telling me off like I'm some kid!"
"Well, maybe stop acting like one!" He snapped at her.

A shocked look appeared on her face. "What did you just say?!"
"You heard me Kara! You've been acting like a child! Acting, then not thinking about the consequences! God you just like a..." he paused, realising what he was about to say.

Kara spoke up. "Go on say it, I know exactly what you want to say!"

Mon-el sighed. "Daxamite! Ok?! Kara I said it. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, gave you a second chance, but you Daxamite's never change!"

Kara looked like she was about to cry.

"Oh my god Kara I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, I..."

"Your telling me I don't change?! What about you Kryptonion? Flying around with that symbol on your chest, saving everybody, feeding that ego of yours?! Your still then same! High and mighty, looking down on everyone else, as they worship you!"  Kara shouted interrupting him.

"Oh great now your blaming me!" He shouted. "I'm not the one who almost got herself killed, lied to me, then admitted she lied but then avoid me, so you didn't have talk about it!"

Kara just looked at Mon-el, unsure how to respond.

"Well? Are you even gonna try to explain to me?" Mon-el asked.

Kara said nothing.

"Fine." He said as he stormed past her, out the room.
