[70] Infiltrating The Warship

• July 05, 2017 •

Mon had almost toppled off when that portal closed and he felt that unmistakable feeling that he hadn't been the only one who had ascended to the warship from that portal. 

He was certain that the last thing he had seen, before the light from the closing portal had wiped everything out, was the bright azure of Kara's eyes rather close to him. Almost as if she had crossed the portal too. 

But as he looked around, he couldn't see anyone else except for him and he shook the suspicion off. However, his suspicion had been right because Kara and Wally had followed him through that portal. He couldn't detect it because of the blinding golden light and Wally's speed force.

Right then, the two had sought a hiding place from where they were keeping watch on Mon.

Mon's arrival had been rather expected because soon the Daxamite guards had begun to surround him, kneeling down in respect in front of their prince. Mon looked uncomfortable and his eyes searched for his parents, landing on Queen Rhea who had approached.

He could see that his father wasn't beside her and Zuphail's words echoed in his head again.

"Mon-El, my dear son," she stepped closer and gently took his arms, eyes examining him as if checking that he was alright or not.

"Where is Father?"

She smiled as if he had asked a very irrelevant question, her voice saccharine as she replied, "oh but he has gone to Daxam already. He awaits us there."

"I don't believe you," he stepped back, retrieving his arms from her hold, "where is Zuphail?"

"Zuphail?"

"My bodyguard," he elaborated, "I want to see him."

"He's not..."

"Mother, you have been lying to me this entire time, haven't you?" His voice was cold, a tone he hadn't used with anyone when he was on Earth. And those blue eyes of his were sparking in a threat.

It reminded Kara of the time he had woken up from his coma after he had crashlanded on Earth. And right then both Kara and Wally could agree that angry Mon-El was a terrifying sight indeed.

"Mon, I have no idea what you're talking about," she shrugged it off as if it was no big deal, "I'm just so glad you came back and we must head to Daxam right away."

"Zuphail warned me not to come to Daxam. He said it was a trap and that you must have done something to get Father out of the way too."

She gasped in alarm, a mixture of shock and rage taking over her features, "how dare you..." 

All the guards that had stooped down to their knees stood up, their spears held at the ready, awaiting an order from their queen.

Mon took in the situation calmly, all his suspicions proving right. The guards were loyal to the queen and not the king of Daxam. There was no knowing whether the king was even alive or not.

"What should we do?" Wally whispered to Kara who was observing the scene.

"If they attack him, I'll intervene. And you will have to use that time to search for a way out so that we can escape."

"Got it."

Mon had not fazed at seeing all the spears pointed toward him as he addressed his mother again, "your behavior right now and your guards threatening me only prove my assumption right."

"I have had enough of your stubbornness, Mon-El. Either you go with us willingly or I'll have to force you."

He took a step closer and two guards had immediately come to Rhea's sides, their spears crossed in front of her like a shield.
