Day 217. The job Winn got me is the most stressful thing I've ever done. Every day I try to integrate as much as possible into this world but sometimes it becomes difficult. Luckily I start to control my powers and I no longer live in fear of hurting someone. Glasses protect my identity and also my X-ray vision.

"Mom!" Lar takes me out of my thoughts. He's becoming more and more like his father.

"Tell me." I reply, although I'm not paying much attention to it.

"They're saying on TV that there's a big fire on the outskirts of the city. We could help them with our freezing breath."

"First, you can't go. You're six years old, Lar." He pouts. "Plus, the firefighters are already helping and it is dangerous for us to show our powers."

"But you could help them and no one would get hurt." He was stubborn, and I had to admit that he looked like me. Lar, who when he arrived was registered as Larry, a more common name in American society, was partly right and could be of great help to them. And probably no one would get hurt. At Argo we all worked in community and helped each other. But that was before what happened. And now I had a son and a lot of responsibilities to take care of and I couldn't risk my life. Suddenly they knock on the door and Lar leaps up to open.

"Aunt Alex!" Lar always called her that because she was always there when we needed something. And when we don't too. The truth is, I considered her a sister. And not just for the fact that I adopted her last name when I arrived on Earth.

"I hope you haven't started making dinner." Alex lifted the bag from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

-Actually I haven't started and even if I had, it could be saved for another day. -I go to Alex and hug her. The three of us go to the table and then I go to the kitchen to get glasses and cutlery. We had dinner calmly and for a moment I forget everything that has happened in recent months. Alex suggests we go to the amusement park on the weekend, so Lar can do things that children his age normally do. I accept after Lar looks at me, or rather begs me with her gaze.

Alex leaves after dinner because she's being called by the DEO for an emergency. We say goodbye and we'll meet for the weekend.

After saying good night to Lar and leaving the little light on, I close the door of her room and go to mine. It's the worst time of the day. Nightmares come back. He's coming back.

"We should get up or Lar will come and then we won't do anything." Kara said as she turned to look at him.

"We don't work today; we can stay here all day." Mon-El hugged Kara, partly to hold her so that she wouldn't get up. "Besides, it's been a while since we've spent time together." He gave her a tender kiss on the head. The truth is that she could stay all morning like this, hugging her husband and not thinking about anything else.

"Mommy, daddy!" They both raised their heads to see their son. "Grandma's here." Kara and Mon-El looked at each other strangely, for it was not normal for Alura to visit them on a Sunday morning. They dressed quickly and went out into the living room, where Kara's mother was.

"Hello mom, is something wrong?" Kara said directly because she knew something must be going on. She remembered it from when Krypton exploded.

"Lar darling, why don't you go play in your room?" Alura bent down to caress her grandson's cheek and he obeyed and left. Kara and Mon-El exchanged a worried look. Once Lar was far enough away, Alura spoke again. "I've just been notified that the nucleus that kept Argo active has deteriorated." Kara and Mon-El opened their eyes wide.
