A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 210 - Comforting Morgan

It is now about 15 minutes since Kara first flew in the door to Eliza's home in Midvale, and started hugging Morgan, and the duo have not parted from their hug yet. However, throughout the hug Kara has been well aware that Alura has been sitting there on the couch, looking at her and Morgan too. So, Kara has tried to make sure that her oldest daughter doesn't feel left out, by hugging Morgan with one arm, and reaching out her free hand towards Alura, so she can take the 6-year-old's hand, and give it a loving squeeze. The last thing Kara wants is for this situation to make Alura think that she cares more about Morgan than she does her, as that is not true at all. Kara loves both her daughters equally. So much in fact, that it truly does hurt at times.

Eventually, after another 5 minutes of hugging, Kara and Morgan separate from each other. As they do, Kara sees that Morgan still has some tears running down her face, obviously from where she has lightly been crying, even as Kara was hugging her. Kara just knows this is because the dream Morgan had, or nightmare, to be precise, has just really made the 4-year-old extremely emotional and paranoid. Kara is aware that this all stems from the fact that Morgan has already lost one set of parents, so the worst thing in her mind would be for her to lose her second pair of parents, who she has really come out of her shell towards, and been really affectionate with them, over these last few months.

"Oh, let's dry those eyes, Morgan." Kara says, as she uses one of her shirt sleaves to dry Morgan's face of the tears.

Morgan sniffles as Kara does this.

"Where is momma?" Morgan asks.

"Oh..." Kara says, realising that Morgan likely wants to see Lena too, "Well, momma is still in Hawaii. I couldn't fly from Hawaii to here with momma in my arms, as it would take too long, as I would have had to fly a lot slower, because momma is a human, and flying too fast would hurt her."

"Oh...." Morgan says, growing a dejected and another sad look on her face.

"Hey, don't be upset, baby." Kara says, "How about we get momma on the phone right now, and you can speak to her?"

"Yes. Please." Morgan nods, eagerly.

Kara then turns to look at Eliza, who she knows was last on a video call with Lena while she was flying to Midvale.

"I'll call Lena back, and see if she has signal." Eliza says, "She ended the call just after you arrived, as she said that she was getting on a plane."

"Okay. Thank you." Kara says, with a smile, and a nod of her head.

"Momma is getting on a plane?" Alura asks, "Is she coming here?"

"No." Kara replies, quickly, not wanting to give Morgan and Alura the wrong idea, "So, Hawaii itself is actually made a lot of islands, over a hundred in fact. But there are mainly a few big islands that people live on. The island that momma and I have been staying on these last few days is called Oahu. However, today, momma and I decided that we wanted to take a trip to one of the other islands, and the only way for us to get there, is by plane. So, we took a plane there, and right now momma is on a plane going back to Oahu, the island we are staying at."

"Why didn't you just fly you and momma there?" Alura asks, curiously.

Kara chuckles.

"Because momma and I just wanted to relax on our honeymoon, and enjoy it like normal people do, without any powers." Kara explains.

"Oh, okay." Alura nods.

Eliza now walks back into the room, with her phone in hand.

"I have Lena on a video call." Eliza says.
