The Youngest Super

Chapter 4

"I'm pregnant."
Kara's words bounced around Alex's head until finally she realized what those two words meant.
"The test was positive?" Alex asked, loud enough for everyone in the med bay, even in the D.E.O.
The Kryptonian's eyes filled with tears as she nodded.
"Alex...I...I can't." Kara stuttered as she gripped onto her sister for support.
"Sh, sh, Kara. It's going to be okay. We're going to be okay." Alex whispered as she rocked her crying sister back and forth. "We're going to be okay."

"Oh my god, Kara...Are you okay? How are you feeling?"
Kara sat in her apartment, surrounded by Nia, Alex, Lena and Kelly. She barely heard Nia's concerned inquiring and Lena's whispered sympathies. All she could think about was how she was growing a person inside her belly and how this baby was...Mon-El's!
"Kara?" Kelly asked, tapping the blondes shoulder.
"W-What? Oh, sorry." Kara mumbled under her breath.
"Hey, sweetie, are you okay?" Lena asked grasping Kara's shoulder.
The Kryptonian barley nodded, but her slight action was enough for her friends to know that she was lying.
"I can tell when you're lying, Kara." Alex said.
"Can you guys just GO?!" Kara screamed, throwing her hands up.
"Come on, guys." Lena said, standing up. "She needs to be alone."
The women quickly left the apartment, leaving a sobbing Kara curled up on the floor.

"Nothing!"
Kara's answer sounded so wrong. Her warm voice now filled with anger. Her tone no longer soft and gentle but sharp and rough. J'onn knew something was wrong. When both Winn and Brainy had asked her, the Kryptonian had snapped, creating dents in the floor with her stomping feet.
To make matters worse, J'onn couldn't seem to read her mind. Whenever he tried, a sharp pain would snap him right back to reality.
"Kara! Kara!" Alex came running over. "They're just trying to help!"
As Kara felt her sisters hands on her arms, she relaxed. Her hormones were making it increasingly difficult to keep her pregnancy hidden. Angry outburst and fits of tears were just not normal for the Girl of Steel.
"Sorry, Brainy. Sorry, Winn. I just can't think straight right now. I don't know why." Kara lied.
"Hey, hey, it's okay Kara. I get it. Just remember, we're here for you."
The blonde hugged her friends before following Alex upstairs.
"Kara! What was that? You can't keep acting out like that!" Alex yelled as the two sisters arrived in the med bay.
"I know, I know. I just-"
Changing into a pair of scrubs at super speed, Kara laid down on the bed as Alex slowly rubbed cold gel across her sisters midsection. The Kryptonian shuddered when she felt the gel.
"It so hard to keep this a secret." Kara sighed, gesturing to her stomach. "And how am I feeling this freezing stuff? How do you expect to see through my skin?"
"Don't try to change the subject. This is Kryptonian technology so it'll see through you fine." Alex chuckled.
"This will be so much easier when I tell everyone."
"Nothing's holding you back. You can tell them if you want to."
Kara shook her head.
"I want to see my baby first. Before I tell anyone."
"Then I better get started. Let's-"
Alex was interrupted by the the sound of someone clearing there voice.
Both sisters turned their head to the door and saw where the sound had come from. J'onn stood in the entrance, arms crossed.
"J'onn!" Alex exclaimed.
"J'onn." Kara smiled awkwardly, attempting to cover her gel-covered belly.
"Why are you hiding what I already know." The Marsion lied, trying to figure out why his psychic abilities didn't seem to affect Kara and Alex.
"How do you know? We were so careful! We even got everyone who knows about the baby to wear a inhibitor. I even wore the Legion ring!" Kara exclaimed, annoyance in her voice.
"What baby?" J'onn asked. "Is that why I haven't been able to read your minds?"
"So...I take it you didn't actually know and you were just trying to get it out of us and we just walked right into it." Alex muttered under her breath, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Kara slumped back down into the bed.
"Well, I guess you probably know. I trust you completely." Kara paused before standing up to show J'onn her tiny baby bump.
"I'm pregnant. It's Mon-El's."
