Safe

chapter 59

Kara

I pull up on the drive way fast and get out of the car, grabbing Hope on my way to the front door.

I cradle her in my arms carefully as knock on the door.

"Kara." A friendly familiar voice softens my nerves. "What are you doing here?"

"I need your help."

Lillian

"I had so much hope for you Mon-El." Rhea states as he bows in front of us.
"You had an open opportunity to kill the Krytonian, but you didn't take it. Why?"

"It will be done." He replies with a slight resistance.

"That's not what I asked. I ask why." Rhea sounds forceful.

"I don't know. I just... I just couldn't" he stumbles on his words.

"I planned for this situation." I interrupt. "You are still in love with her. You love her too much and it's fighting the virus. Your love for her is too strong." I step closer and kneel next to him, taking his chin in my hand, leaning his head to the side. "Your love for her is too strong." I say examining his face.

"Never the less. I have something that will help with that. Science concurs anything. Even love. It seems a pitty to rip you away from your precious true love but hey, it must be done." He fights against my hand.

Mon-El

Something suddenly clicks. It's like when I realised I was trying to kill Kara. I ran because I didn't know what happened. But then I fell back into some sort of trance. But I'm back now.

Hearing Lillian wants to take my love for Kara wakes me up, I notice Lillian's gasping my face looking sinisterly down at me. I resist against her slightly, but I realise, I should try and stay undetected. If they realise. I'm me... The real me not the virus, they will not be happy.

"How...how are you going to do that?" I ask trying to sound as confident as I imagine I would under the influence of the virus. 

"I engineered a serum that can change the reactions in your brain. Basically making you fall out of love with her. Since I'm the only one who's ever atempted such a thing you will be my guinea pig. Plus I made it for this exact purpose."

I tighten my fist at my side as she speaks resistaning the earge to punch my way out of here. But I can't. All I can think about is focusing on what I can remember whilst not being me. I need to know what I've done.

The details of hurting Kara start pouring back as Lillian rambles on.

I remember how it felt to hold her throat in my hand as I squeezed harder and harder watching her eyes turn blood shot and hearing her struggle for breath. She was helpless. Vonerable. I could see it in her eyes. And I liked it. I liked it.

I could feel her body turning limp in my grasp as I starved her of air. But then I woke up and I saw, not felt, but saw her there, as the real me. What I was doing became a reality as I fought against what had control of me and I ran. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know what to do.

I wanted to hold her. To comfort her and apaulagise but I couldn't. How do you apologise to someone for almost killing them.

"We trust you to not fail again my son." Rheas voice brakes through my thoughts and I try to act calm.

"Yes mother. I will not fail you again."

"I know you won't." Two guards sieze me and I struggle against them. I have to get to Kara before Lillian does anything to me.

I fight them off one sometimes two at a time and fly up crashing through the roof. I have to find Kara before my virus self takes over again.

Kara

"Kara if what you say is true you can't go back to Nation city, especially with your powers in the state they're in."

"Elisa please. I have to go back. The city needs Supergirl. I have to try to save Mon-El and I have to do what's right by the people. I can't hide."

"I know. If that's one thing you learned from me and your sister it's your stubbornness." She smiles slightly and stands up from her chair to hug me.

"Take care of Hope." I say trying to hold tears back.

"I will. I will protect her with my life." I nod at her and dash back to my car. I need to face Mon-El. I have to try to get him back.
