Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers has been spending more and more time up on the Legion Cruiser and out in space where she felt that she could cause less damage to innocents than on earth. Even though she trusted the Titans, even then, at least she could be ejected into space if worse came to worse. She shivers at that thought, staring out at the vast loniness of space in a quieter lounge area of the ship.

At least out here she felt calmer, not so tense, not so lost. Funny, ironic even. The further away from the sun she was, the weaker she felt. But maybe that was a good thing..

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar has been doing his best to keep Kara company up here. She seemed so lonely, but if she felt more comfortable away from Earth, then it was her choice. It's been a while since he has been around her this much, though. And it's hard, at times. All he wants is to just hold her, but at the same time, he holds himself back, feeling guilty.

    It's complicated. Maybe he should just -talk- to her about it. Ugh, why were relationships so messy? One of those annoying things you couldn't just punch or thermal vision your way out of.

    He finds her sitting alone in the central crew lounge, staring out the window at the vast expanse of stars. With a sigh, he moves into the seat next her. "Hey, Kara. How've you been holding up?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers draws a deep breath, glancing over at Lar with a smile. She'd been mostly keeping to herself, which is unusual for Kara. She's usually fairly sociable with other people, always eager to make new friends. Now..She just seems tired, maybe even a little scared.

"I'm still me, I guess..that's a good sign right? Haven't hurt anyone yet, just..." she sighs, continuing to stare out the window. "Not sure what to expect from this day to the next. One day I'm fine, the next day, my whole body freeze up. I should stop hiding, I should just go and talk to Lex. And then Superman. Maybe at the same time, I dunno. Guess I just haven't felt so great over the last few days.."

Kara does glance over at him though, smiling softly. "Thank you, for all that you've done for me. I've never felt more alone..But at least I feel safe here, with you." Yes, things are a bit awkard. Maybe that's why she's been trying not to get too close to him, for the most part.

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar nods. "Just let me know when you're ready. I'm more than happy to go with you. I know how hard it is...being afraid of yourself. It's the worst kind of fear." He reaches over and squeezes her shoulder reassuringly. "But we'll get through this, I just know it." Then there is a pause, as he seems like he wants to say something else, but doesn't say it yet. Yeah, it's another one of those awkward moments.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers stiffens at first at the contact, but slowly relaxes, even leaning in against him a little as she turns to face him. "I know..I suppose you know me best, huh." she smiles weakly at him, arching a brow. She can tell there's something more, but...Kara clears her throat. "You know it's funny, I thought it'd be Boomer here with me, comforting me, giving me a pep speech. But instead he...I dunno what happened. I dunno what I said or did.." she seems..Crushed. Especially at a time like this.

Mon-El has posed:
    "I don't know. I just...I guess I've had similar experiences, which I suppose shouldn't come as a surprise." Lar replies with a shrug. There is that quiet moment of awkwardness, with nothing but the slight thrum of the cruiser's engines and other systems in the background, before Kara finally clear her throat and mentions Owen. "Don't be angry at him. You can't blame him for being afraid of you, or afraid of potentially having to hurt you. Especially after he almost drowned. And also being afraid of telling you the truth about how he feels. I mean, sometimes -I'm- afraid to tell the truth about how I feel. And I'd be afraid of having to hurt you, too."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers nods and hmms. "You might be right. Maybe he's just scared of me. I don't blame him. I nearly killed him back at the pool..Maybe he doesn't want to see me again.." she sighs, "Geez, what's happening to me? I'm becoming a monster.." she stares down at her hands in horror..

Mon-El has posed:
    "He's probably more afraid of possibly having to hurt you than anything else, to be honest." Lar tells her. "And I don't blame him at all. I know I would be..."

    He trails off momentarily, exhaling a bit as she stares down at her hands. "I know how that feels, Kara. Trust me. I nearly killed Drake, once. It made me question...a lot of things. But maybe you should tell him how you feel. If you do it first, maybe he'll come clean too. Then you can...clear the air between each other, at least." he says, his gaze moving away from her again, looking out the window.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers arches a brow. "Oh, that's right. I guess..Stuff happens." she chuckles a bit, trying to make light of the situation. "I guess it comes with the territory, doesn't it. With great power comes great responsibility, and all that.." she sighs, looking at him. "We should probably clear the air, yeah..Although..." Kara frowns, staring out at the stars again, trailing off.

Mon-El has posed:
    Yeah, yeah. All that 'with great power' stuff. It was cliche, but true. Lar scoffs slightly. "Yeah, definitely comes with this particular territory. That being someone who can drop kick a boulder to the moon without even breaking a sweat."

    He nods as she agrees about telling Owen how she feels, but then a brow goes up when she seems to trail off. "...what?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers chuckles, "I mean, have you actually tried that before, playing space soccer? Sounds like a fun game. We should totally try it next time.." she winks at him, making light of the situation. One frequently needs humour in times like these. "Oh it's nothing, I guess occasionally, I think about 'what if things had been different?' I suppose.."

Mon-El has posed:
    "Uh..." Lar thinks about that for a moment. "I think I've thrown a boulder into orbit from the surface before." he chuckles. "Space soccer, huh."

    "Different how?" he asks, wondering what exactly she's thinking.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smiles, "You gotta show me how it's done sometime. I'm sure it's a great stress reliever, hmm?" she winks as she says that, at least a bit more playful now than she was before. Although back down to earth, Kara draws a deep breath, "Oh, you know, if your family weren't all psycho and dead set against us, I suppose. If we were just normal people. Guess i've been trying to move on, act like there's nothing between us, but maybe I was wrong. I mean, you've been there for me through thick and thin..I never really got to thank you for that."

Mon-El has posed:
    Well, grife. There it was. Lar lets out a long, drawn-out sigh, averting his gaze once again for a minute or two before looking back to her. "Yeah...." he starts, unsure of what exactly to say. There is another one of those awkward pauses before he manages to continue, this time looking straight into her eyes. "Kara, I could never move on from you." he admits quietly, taking her hands in his. "You are the love of my life and that will never, ever change. You made me see things differently. Psycho parents or not." He lets go of her though, sighing again.

    "But I also have important responsibilities...to my own people. To my family, as fanatical as they've been. Still, being around you, like this..." he shakes his head. "I don't know. Maybe...I could try again. Maybe if you somehow showed them that they were wrong about Krypton. Maybe they'll listen..." But his expression is pained. He doesn't -really- think they will.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smiles sadly, squeezing his hands, nodding. "I know, I know. You have responsibilities, there could be repercussions. And right now, I'm dealing with this dangerous situation where I could turn against you or anyone else at any time." she shrugs, "But, doesn't mean we cant be friends, have each other's backs. Maybe that's enough..For now.." still she leans over, giving him a short, quick kiss on the cheek. "Even so, I just wanted to say thank you..For everything."

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar strokes the side of her hair as she plants a quick kiss on the cheek. "Tell you what. Go talk to Owen--see if you can't figure things out with him. And if you end up parting ways, then I'm...willing to try again with my family. Maybe, if we help them colonize another planet, or help them in some way, together...they'll accept you." He sounded a little bit hesitant about it, but he'd managed to say it.

    Then he stands up. "Good night, Kara. Let me know if you need anything." Then he makes his way to his own quarters.
