Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers had been spending more and more time aboard the Legion Cruiser, sometimes just staring out the window listlessly, feeling more and more useless, and just plain frustrated. She'd had no luck in contacting Superman who apparently had his own matters to deal with. And she had had trouble getting near to Lex as well. A quick trip back to the Titans tower had led to a heart to heart with Austin, about running away from her problems..And of course that had her thinking about..Other unsaid matters..

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar was in his quarters tonight, going over some more reports of Brood invasions in Shi'ar territory. It was getting worse and worse out there, but figuring out the best place to lend his aid was another matter. He's fast sure, but he still can't be in more than one place at once.

    There's a stone, faintly glowing red sitting on the desk that he'd also been examining, but it didn't seem like there was much of anything to it other than looking cool. Still, it was probably best left to a magical expert to say for sure.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers draws a deep breath, pulling away from the window. Well. She should really talk to Lar. Just..Get it out there. Who knows what damage it will do but, better to be honest, right? she smiles and smoothes out her hair, peering at her reflection in the reflective window before her, putting on a bit of subtle makeup..And then turns and strides down the hall towards Lar's office, knocking twice on the door. "Hello, Lar? Are you there..?"

Mon-El has posed:
    The door retracts once she knocks, and Lar turns to face her, smiling. "Kara," he says warmly. "Come in." Though he notices she looks anxious, and frowns a little. He knows she's been having a rough time lately, so it doesn't come as a surprise, but still. "What's up?" he asks.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers isn't in uniform, that should be noted. She hadn't really..Felt like she could be a constructive part of the team in her current condition. Heck, she didn't even feel like she was safe to be around anyone, save for Lar. So here she is, wearing a red long sleeved t-shirt and denim cut-offs. Looking like the cheerful yet aimless teenager she was when she first landed on earth. She also looks tired. But happy to see him.

"Hey..I'm not interrupting anything, Am I?" she notes the glowy rock thingy on the desk, arching a brow. "I guess..There's a lot of serious stuff going on, y'know, with the Shi'ar and Brood and all, not to mention my own issues. But I suppose they pale in comparison...."

Kara just lets the sentence hang there, openning her mouth, closing it again as if trying to figure out how to say this.

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar sighs, nodding. He's had...his own issues to deal with as of late as well. The incident with Juggernaut had soured his mood quite a bit for a while. For some reason, the guy just...had a way of bringing out the worst in him, and he didn't like it. "Yeah, the Brood problem isn't going away any time soon I don't think. We just have to hope it doesn't get too much bigger. Of course if we don't do anything about it, it's not like they're going to stop with the Shi'ar."

    He picks up the rock for a moment, looking at it one more time before tossing it in a drawer and closing it. "You get a chance to talk to Lex yet?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns a bit, nodding slowly, "Yeaah..I suppose there's always something going on. I mean, isn't that why we're superheroes? It's kinda our job to protect everyone from everything.." she slides into the seat across from him, staring at the rock thoughtfully. "I guess..Sometimes it gets in the way of our personal lives too." Mention of Lex causes her to frown.

"He's been..Hard to get ahold of lately, he's constantly under the protection of his security guards, or out and about dealing with some important thing or other. Guess I'll have to try again to make an appointment. And Superman's been busy with his own issues too, so..I guess I just have to wait and hope for the best.."

She glances back to Lar thoughtfully. "What about you..How're you been? You know you just have to say the word and I'll be there to help..With whatever you need help with.."

Mon-El has posed:
    "I've been all right." Lar replies, though he seems more focused on her, frowning. It's been a while, and he doesn't like the idea that this might be progressive. He sighs. "If only my family weren't a bunch of xenophobic Krypton haters, they could probably help you..." he shakes his head.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers nods and sighs, "Yeah...If only there was a way I could convince them that not all Kryptonians are bad.." And that's something she's been thinking about a lot lately too. But there's something else more pressing she needs to discuss with him. "Listen, Lar, I..." she sighs, resting her hands on the table, reaching them out towards him as if to grasp his hands, but hesitates, pulling back a bit. "I...I need to talk to you about..Something important.."

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar looks pensive at her musing regarding his family. "Maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet. I've been trying, but..." he sighs again. "It's just painful." he admits, his gaze downcast for a moment. A part of him feels guilty about giving up on it. How could he just not be willing to go through anything for her? But she had seemed happy with Owen before. Now, though...

    He looks back up at her as she reaches out momentarily, but then pulls back. The Daxamite puts a hand over hers anyway, assuring her it's okay. "Anything you need, Kara."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers draws a deep breath. Dont be a coward, Kara. Just...Say it. She smiles softly, gently at him, a look of longing in her eyes and then just..Reaches out and grabs his hands, squeezing them gently. "Lar, I...I haven't been entirely..Honest with you. I kept telling you that..That 'we' are in the past, that we should both move on, that..That I'm happy with Owen but..The truth is.."

She sighs, licking her lips, pondering if she's doing a really dumb thing, but she can't stop now. "Well, Owen is nice and all, but when the going got tough..*you* were the one who stood at my side while he..Just...Didn't answer my calls. And..and maybe I was wrong. I..I haven't seen him in a long while, he doesn't return my calls. I think..I think it's over between us. I left him a lenghty message, breaking up with him.."

Kara glances back at Lar again. "I know you don't want to hear this, but...I still have feelings for you.."

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar stares at Kara as she finally makes the confession---one that he'd suspected might be true, but it had never been certain until now. He'd always made it clear that while she was the love of -his- life, as long as she was happy, he was happy, even if that meant her finding someone else to love. But this...this changed things. She wasn't happy any more. She was lonely.

    A storm of mixed emotions begins to rage in his mind. He loves her more than anything, but his family and people would never accept her. The last time he tried, she'd almost gotten killed. How could he risk that again? But if it's what she wants.

    He exhales, shaking it off. "Kara..." he frowns, letting go of her hands and pulling back slightly. "We've been through this. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone...but if you want to do this, we have to keep it a secret. The last time we tried, they almost killed you...I--I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. Especially not if it was just because I couldn't..." he trails off, looking away.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers nods, smiling faintly, sadly, letting go of his hands but not pulling away. "I know..I know things can't work out between us. At least, not *now*. I mean..There's so much going on, with this whole Brood thing..This thing infecting me..Trying to keep the Titans together. But..I just thought you should know. Even if we're not 'together', even if we never end up *being* together..It doesn't mean I can't stand at your side, be there for you the way you were always there for me. Heck we could try keeping it a secret...Maybe..." Kara shrugs. Maybe it can still..Work..?"

Mon-El has posed:
    "It's risky, but if you're willing to try it, I am." Lar sighs. "I mean, maybe there's a way to win them over. Maybe if you did something to prove them wrong about Kryptonians, in spite of everything they did to you, maybe -someone- would start fighting the xenophobia, even if it's not my family to start with. It can't look like you're doing it for me, though..."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smiles and nods. "I'll do it. Whatever it takes, I'll find a away to win them over. Convince them that we're not the bad guys. Or, at least I'm not..Somehow.." she sighs tiredly, uncertainly. "I've no idea where I'd even start with that, but I'm not about to give up on your parents...And definitely not you. I wont lose you again.."

Mon-El has posed:
    And that was a part of what Lar loved so much about Kara. That indominable spirit. Never giving up, even when everyone else has. And even in the face of what the Daxamite royal family already done to her or would have done had Kal not intervened.

    "Oh Kara..." He says softly, his hand going to the side of her face as he slowly draws her in for a kiss. The first -real- one they'd had in a very long while...
