The Man

Chapter 25 // Medusa

Kyle was tired, the last couple of weeks had been terrible. From him missing some days at work due to some parasite to him being kidnapped by Cadmus. But now Kyle was sitting in the living room, with a beer, talking to Winn, James and Mon-El while the girls and Carter where doing something in the kitchen.

"So- Kyle," Mon-El started "I'm sorry that we couldn't have the chance to get the know each other."

Kyle smiled and said "Yeah, I'm rather disappointed that happened. But- hey, we can still become friends or anything if you want. The only thing is that I have it quite busy, but I will fit you in somewhere," Mon-El nodded so Kyle asked further "What do you think of going out on the streets with James, do you like it?"

Mon-El grinned and excitedly said "It's great! Normally we can get all the hotdogs we want and things like that, I-I did have an accident the first day but hey, everything is alright now." James grumbled something under his breath and with that Kyle's phone chimed, he quickly glanced at it and saw that Lena had texted him. 

He opened the message 'Could use you here, it's still difficult.' Kyle looked up at the guys and said "Need to go, girlfriends needs her boyfriend." He grinned and winked and with that he stood up, beer in hand, and walked to the kitchen. Lena had her back towards him, listening to the conversation about god knows what. So Kyle smiled and put his hands around the woman.

The woman almost jumped but in the end she didn't do anything. Kyle kissed her cheek and whispered in her air "Calvary has come, my princess," He leaned his head on her shoulder and looked at the people who where now staring at him. "What?"

Alex put her hands up in defence and said "I'm not used to this, seeing you with a girlfriend. So- I'm just gonna go," She said while pointing at the living room. Kyle just looked confused and turned his head back to Eliza and Carter after he followed Alex leaving the kitchen.

"What were you really talking about?"

"Oh- just you," Eliza smiled and Carter nodded "I never expected you to be a father figure this fast. But- it's good."

"Well, thanks Eliza. Do you need help with cooking?"

"Yes, you could- No, you can't."

Kyle glanced at Lena who nodded once "She already knows, Eliza. I had some incident, maybe it's smart you two talk about it."

"Oh? Okay, so- You can do the turkey." Kyle smiled and nodded, he walked over to the fridge and grabbed the turkey out of it and minutes later the turkey was completely done.

They were seated at the table, Kyle was at the head of the table and Eliza on the other. Kyle glanced at Lena who was nervous, but he just gave her a wink and with that Eliza spoke "Kyle," He looked at her "Would you do us the honors?" Kyle nodded and smiled. With that he stood up, and held up his glass of red wine.

"So, it is a Danvers family tradition that, before the meal we go around and say what we're thankful for, so..."

Everybody who hadn't been there once, for a Danvers family tradition 'Ah-ed.' And James even commented "I like that."

"I will start first... let me think... I'm absolutely grateful for my girlfriend who had helped be through a lot," He looked at Lena who smiled gratefully "And I'm truly thankful for family because without all of you, and the ones we miss, I would never have become the man I am today, so thank you," With that he sat down and said "The next person please."

Alex, Mon-El and James stood up. James was the first to speak "I wanna go first," Kyle looked confused at all of them. He glanced at Lena who had the same look. "Kyle, I for one would like to say how thankful I am to have such an understanding friend."
