Karamel: One More Time

Four

Monel-

I laid her on the couch as she calmed down. I watched as her chest rose and sank as she settled down.

"What happened?"

"Red Kryptonite. I think. You don't remember?"

"The last thing I remember was you on top of me. We were kissing. I was so happy but then anger washed washed over me. Then I blacked out."

"Okay, wait- you were happy?"

"Yeah. I guess so." She put her arms around my neck. My hands went to her back. She pushed me again.

"Get off of me you filthy Daxamite. Who do you think you are?"

"Kara?"

"Ow!" She sat back down on the couch.

"Hey its okay." I hugged her.

"GET OFF!!!"

"It's triggered by touch. We need to get you to Alex."

"Okay. Let's go." She was normal Kara but I knew I couldn't pick her up or her other side would kill me.

"You need to fly there."

"Okay, grab that necklace." We both raced to the D.E.O., I checked on her often as we flew.

When we got there, we walked to the medical room. I wanted to hold her hand or hug her but after the kiss I immediately regretted it.

"Hey Kara, what's wrong?" Alex said as Kara sat on the bed.

"Red Kryptonite or something, can you take a blood test or maybe scan for Kryptonite?"

"Yeah, I'll do that now." She pits some white gloves on and then picks up a scanning device of some sort. She scans it over Kara's face and arms. When she's done, she goes over to the computer to check the results.

"There's a faint trace of red k. But not enough to do anything exept for a minor headache. You should be fine as long as you stay away from it. Where is it?"

"Oh it's right here." I handed her the necklace.

"Well isn't it good that you were there Monel. I'll put this in containment. You can go home."

"Okay Alex. I love you." Kara said as she gave her a hug. We both walked back to the balcony. When we got there, we flew back to her loft.

"Woah! Who broke the bed?!"

"Oh uh... I did. It was an accident. Sorry."

"It's okay Monel. I can probably fix it."

"Uh, I'm gonna go lay down." I said.

Kara-

"Why do you look like you are holding something in?" I said. He looked uptight and stressed.

"I dont." He walked out of the room.

"Monel! What's wrong?"

"Just something you said while under influence. It's nobodies fault just ignore it."

"What did I say?" I put my hand on his cheek.

"Kara, nothing. Sleep good." He opened up the front door.

"Where are you going?"

"Just sleep good. I'll see yu in the morning." He looked pained. I've only seen him cry when I made him sad.

When I said we were breaking up when Mxy was around, when he had to leave, when he wanted to be better for me.

I remembered that I used to feel scared during the night so I put in cameras.

I walk over to my computer and pull up the security footage from tonight.

--------

"Is everything okay Kara?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"Is thought you loved me."

"Monel! It's been six months. I don't know what you did in that time. You could have had a different girl over every night. Who knows!"

"Kara! I never even came close to that!"

"Oh yeah! Because you dirty Daxamite  are just a bunch of obnoxious, lying, backstabbing, drunkies!"

"Kara, listen to me. You're under the influence of Red Kryptonite."

"No Monel! I've just never been completely honest with you. All of the guys I have been with have been better than you!"

"Kara-"

"James, Adam, Winn and I got drunk and had a one night stand that only I remember. Oh and you're love making, SUCKS!"

-------

I cover my mouth as I watch. I could feel the tears start to form but I wipe them away. I felt so bad for saying all of those things. I shut my  outer and walk back to my room where my phone was.

Hopefully he still had the same number as before. I dial his number and listen to it ring. After I call him twice, he picks up the third time.

"Hello?"

"Monel, I need to apologize, in person. Come home. To me please."

"I'm not coming home tonight. I love you. But obviously you don't feel the same. We are moving to fast. I just don't want to be with anyone right now." I could hear whispering in the background.

"Who are you with?"

"Nobody."

"I have superhearing! Who are you with?!"

"Just a friend."

"Fine, be difficult." I hang up the phone and immediately scan the city for him. I see him with a girl. In her house.

I knock on the door and then open it. I recognize both the faces very quickly.

"Monel?! Eve?!"
