"Which movie?" I asked. "The Space Between Us or Wizard of Oz?"

"Knowing you, the Wizard of Oz," Mon-El scoffs. I nodded, impressed with how well he knew me.

We'd just been released from the DEO back to my apartment. I was technically was still under observation-- I had been diagnosed with a concussion -- but we were allowed to be at home unless there was an issue.

I handed him the disk, and he inserted it into my DVR. I changed the input on the television, and pulled the blanket up higher over my legs. He plopped down next to me, taking the other half of the blanket. I picked up the caramel corn from behind me, and began to munch on the tiny, sugary bites.

"These are so good," I mumbled. I looked back up to find Mon-El staring at me. "What?"

He sighed, shifting towards me.

"Can we talk about what happened in the dream world?" Mon-El asks. I bit my lip.

"What is there to talk about?" I questioned.

"You weren't in my perfect fantasy," He gulps. "I'd like to explain why."

"Mon-El--" I sighed.

"No, listen," Mon-El demands. "I was on Daxam, but I can't use the excuse that I miss it. I honestly don't. But the fact that you weren't there doesn't have anything to do with how I feel about you. I care about you-- more than anyone in this universe-- and I need you to know why you weren't with me."

"I don't want to know, Mon-El," I interrupted him. "I was there. The comets."

He silently glanced at me, his eyes searching my face. Mon-El looked guilty. I'm not sure why he felt what he did-- he did absolutely nothing wrong. In my fantasy, my sister wasn't even there. I don't know why I'd expect to be in his.

"You are my fantasy," Mon-El whispers. "That's why you weren't there."

I quietly removed my blanket from my lap, and scooted nearer to him. I laid against him, sighing into his body. I wrapped my arms around him, engulfing him into a hug. I squeezed tightly.

Not human tightly. No-- I didn't have to hold back with Mon-El.

"I'm not mad at you," I whisper.

"I get the feeling that I'll always be a little mad at you."

"Yeah, I get that feeling too."

"I'm glad you're back," Mon-El announces. "I missed you those two weeks."

"Trust me," I scoff," I missed you too."

"When I wasn't looking for you, I started reading Romeo and Juliet," He stated. "I want that to be us some day. In love against the world. United against all faults."

"Do you know how that ends?" I asked, beginning to giggle.

"Well, no, I never finished," Mon-El looked down at me. "How does it end?"

"They die."

He awkwardly looks back up, a puzzled look on his face.

"But I shipped it!" Mon-El exclaimed.

I burst into laughter, my body curling into my stomach. Breath escaped me, and my cheeks began to hurt as Mon-El stared down at me, an amused smile on his face.

"What?" He asked.

"Did Winn teach you that word?" I asked.

"No, Maggie did," He corrected me. "She told me about this Criminal Minds show she watched and how she shipped some people. Although, I did hear Winn say it once or twice."

I laughed again. Maggie did like Criminal Minds.

"I wanna watch the movie," I mumbled. Mon-El smiled at me.

I reached over and grabbed the remote from off the table next to me. I pressed play, and the movie began.

My head was resting against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. It wasn't like the first time I sat with him like this; back then it has been pounding. Now it was almost like he was completely relaxed. I could feel it in Mon-El's muscles too. They were at rest-- not tenses. He was comfortable.

And I slowly fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

It was about halfway through the movie when I noticed Kara was asleep. A small smile danced across my lips at her peaceful face. She deserved the rest. The past three had been hell. I was about to shut off the screen, when there was a knock at the door. Kara gasped awake, sitting up.

"Who is it?" I asked. Kara squinted at the door, using her x-ray vision, no doubt.

"Jacob?" She mumbled, standing up. Kara pulled at her sweater for a second, and began to make her way to the door.

I quickly followed after her.

"Jacob?" I question. "As in the one that kidnapped you but then helped you escape?"

"Yes," Kara replied, pulling her door open.

"Kara," Jacob breathes. "Alex said I could find you here."

"What's up?" Kara asked, inviting him in. Jacob stepped inside, and rubbed his hand through his hair.

"It's T'ayy," He gulped. "She's been taken again."

A/N:
Sorry. I'm still incapable of giving a fluff chapter.

Does this annoy you? Like obviously it should, but to the point where you don't want to read this anymore? If so, please tell me. I wanna know where to draw the line.

Love you, Multiversal friends!
