Chapter 53 - 53 Talks (1/2)

A blue suited, red caped figure could be seen flying through the night sky. The speed at which the figure traveled far exceeded the normal speed for the average fighter jet, and the occasional glittering trail could be seen falling off the figure as she flew.

”Kara! Wait! Where are you going!?”.

”Please Kara, come back!”.

The last daughter of Krypton slowed down in her flight speed as the familiar voices of Cassie and M'gann caused her to flinch, and the Girl of Steel quickly wiped the tears from her face as The Amazon and Martian gradually came closer to their friend, who turned around and gave the pair a perfect smile.

Cassie and M'gann gave each other a look when they saw the fake smile that looked anything but sad on their friends face, before Cassie hovered forward and brought Kara in for a hug.

The Kryptonian didn't do anything but straightened her back as she felt the warm embrace of her best friend, feeling another pair of arms wrap around the two of them as M'gann pulled the two into her own embrace.

”It's fine guys..... I was just a little shocked that's all. I completely overreacted. Gray has a right to date whoever he wants. He's an ȧduŀt and Diana is an ȧduŀt and I'm.....”.

Kara's voice slowly trailed off at the end, still not wrapping her arms around Wondergirl or Miss Martian. The long raven hairs of Cassie, reminded Kara of her Aunt, and the exact moment she walked in on her kissing.....

A small sob escaped her lips.

Cassie let out a deep exhale.

”It'll be alright Kara. I'm sure my Aunt Diana didn't mean anything by it. She's not exactly the type of person who dates. And Gray-”.

”Didn't you hear the way they were talking to each other!? They were flirting from the moment Gray picked her up all the way past closing time at the restaurant! Everything they said, every single word I could hear! I-It was like, listening to someone break up with you over the phone! It was-”.

Her words cut short as she burrowed her head into the shoulder of her sixteen year old Amazonian friend. The granddaughter of Zeus patted the back of her fellow Team member, trying to calm her heartbeat with more than words.

”Your not thinking straight Kara. Haven't you only known Gray for like a couple weeks? Why are you so upset by this?”.

She felt Kara shake in her arms for a moment before settling after taking a deep breath.

”I don't know!”.

She paused for a moment, wiping her eyes with her cape before M'gann changed the line of questioning. Her telepathic abilities weren't being used here, although countless times of using it on criminals had given a slight intuition that she didn't possess when she first joined up with the Team.

”Instead of focusing on your negative emotions, what about the positive ones.... When your with Gray.... how do you feel? The same as you are now?”.

Kara shook her messy ċhėstnut blonde hair rapidly as she bit her bottom lip and felt her cheeks redden despite the cool breeze blowing this high up in the air. Something that wasn't missed by either of her friends, giving each other a mental message as they saw this.

”I don't know!? But it's not like this! Whenever I'm with- we're with Gray, I feel better. Like, better than better. Like the pain from losing everyone back on Krypton just completely falls away....But when I saw Gray with Diana back at the restaurant....”.

”Yes?”.

Miss Martian and Wondergirl were eager to hear their friends response, trying their best to reduce the curiosity on their faces and increase the sympathy.

Kara let out a frown as she held her stomach, a pain expression on her face.

”I felt a pain in my ċhėst and a weird feeling in my stomach. Like I had just lost Krypton all over again.... Why does it hurt so much?”.

The Kryptonian let out a shaky breath as Cassie patted her back trying to calm her down once more. Another look was shared between Cassie and M'gann, the latter sending a psychic message towards the former, a tone of surprise and shock was evident in her voice.

”You know what this is don't you!?”, said M'gann through her telepathic link, ”She's in love with Gray! She's in love with Gray, and doesn't know how to deal with seeing him and your aunt together! A sixteen year old girl who most likely never had to deal with rejection in her life”.
