Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers has returned to the ship, a place that has become like a second home after rescuing Lar and trying to control the outbursts due to the nanites in her body. But since Brainac's help, she seems to ba faring better, still..It seemed wiser to stay on board rather than return home to earth. At least for a time, she. needs to make double sure she's stable. And of course it was an excuse to spend more time with Lar too..Had he recovered from the brainwashing of that crazy queen? And so she's wandering the halls, pausing by the windows in the observation lounge to stare at the stars as usual.

Mon-El has posed:
    Physically, Lar seemed to be perfectly fine. The problem was that he didn't quite seem to be all there. As Kara wandering about, Brainiac approaches her again. "Kara, do you have a moment?" he asks. "It's about Lar. Whatever Glorith did to him, it seems to have done some...damage. While I have a few ideas on how to remedy this issue, I would rather try less invasive and more conventional methods for dealing with amnesia first."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns, glancing at Brainiac, "Wait, what? I thought he was recovering.." she sighs, shaking her head, clearly troubled, "Is there anything I can do to help him?" grit, more trouble..She's never felt so helpless.

Mon-El has posed:
    "Yes, possibly." Querl says with a nod. "You are someone close to him, and not only that, someone he's had...strong feelings for in the past. As close as his friendships with the rest of the team are, none of them are quite like the emotions he's had around you. If anyone can snap him out of it without more direct intervention, you can."

    "Whenever you're ready, he's in the medical bay."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns and nods, "I hope that will be enough. Of course I'll do anything in my power to help him.." still she seems worried. Will even she be enough to snap him out of it? Of course she doesn't hesitate to hurry off to the medbay in search of Lar. Rushing in there, she peers around. "Lar..?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Kara would Lar sitting on one of the beds in medical. He does look fine physically. He looks up from the datapad he was apparently reading just now. "Oh, it's you again." he says, smiling politely and putting the datapad down. "Are you...okay? You look really stressed out."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers arches a brow at the greeting, which seems..Off. A bit formal really. "Yes, It's me." she approaches him slowly, cautiously, taking a seat in the chair next to his bed. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was more worried about you. How are you doing? Do you remember anything of what Glorith did to you?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar shakes his head. "No, I um...." he starts to look sort of embarrassed. "I remember what you said about her being a queen who was infatuated with me and tried to make me love her. But I don't remember anything else."

    He looks her over, blinking a few times. "Er...I'm feeling fine, actually. I just...um..." he exhales sharply. "Well, like I said, I don't remember anything else."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns at that, clearly concerned. "Lar..Do you remember anything *before* she kidnapped you? Do..Do you know who I am?" she's almost afraid to ask him, afraid to hear his response. Did Glorith damage, not just his short term memory, but his long term memory as well?

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar looks anxious at the fear in her eyes, even in this state, it still upsets him. "I..." he glances around the room nervously, but finally admits the truth. "...I didn't even remember my own name until you said it earlier." He sighs. "I'm sorry, you must be devastated." he adds quickly. "But, maybe there's something you can do to bring it back?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers's eyes widen in sudden shock and fear..And maybe a little heartbroken. "You...You really don't remember me? Us? Our..Our history together?" she frowns, drawing a deep breath, looking away for a moment as she tries to collect her thoughts. This must be devastating for him, she cant even begin to imagine. But it's even more devastating for her..

She looks back at him again, forcing a smile. "It..It's alright. It's not your fault. We'll find a way to fix things, somehow.." but how? "Okay..Maybe I can tell you some stories, maybe that would help? I could bring some of your personal belongings, a favorite shirt, a gift or two I got you that held meaning to you back then..I dunno.."

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar nods quickly, smiling a little. "Yeah, yeah let's try that." he says eagerly. "Er, that guy Brainiac said sometimes that can work. And if it does, it'd be better than um...the procedures he might try."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers chuckles a bit at mention of Brainiac, "Yeaah, he can be a bit..Intense, but he means well? At least he helped me out." however temporary that might be but she has hope. "Well, I have so,etching that might help.." she pulls out a chain from under her shirt, it's a little heart shaped metal locket the opens up and has a picture of the two of the. together, looking happy, eating ice cream. It's pretty old, must have been years ago, before they split the first time. "This is..Well, after we took the original picture, I held onto it even when we split. Got it shrunk and made into a locket insert.Only started wearing it recently but.." she pulls it off her neck, offering him the locket. "I want you to hold onto it, maybe it'll trigger a memory, who knows?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar watches intently as Kara takes off the locket and hands it to him. "We broke up?" he asks, a brow arched. "That's kind of a shame."

    He opens it and peers at the small picture for a while. After a few moments, he laughs and shakes his head, closing the locket. "Oh, Kara..." he says, pulling her into a hug. "Did you have to use -that-? I look terrible in that picture. And that was like the most awkward day of my life."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers smiles faintly and shrugs, "Well...Things we're pretty...Complicated.Your heritage, your parents, and your eventual inheritance made things difficult for us to be together, but..I never forgot you, and I think maybe things might work out now.." she smiles as he takes it, not wanting to rush things but as he pulls her in for a hug, she's a bit surprised, but in a good way. At least he trusts her. "Hey, you're being modest. You look fine. And you looked so happy.." she chuckles as she wraps an arm around him, holding him tightly, "Wait, you remember that day..?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar chuckles, handing her the locket back as he eventually pulls away. "-Now- I do. And I was happy, but it was still terribly awkward." he laughs.

    "You think so?" he asks hopefully when she implies things might work out now.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers frowns, and shakes her head, "You should keep it, maybe it'll help with other memories. Tell me, what happened?" she shrugs at the other comment and sighs, "Your people the Daxamite, blamed my people, the Kryptonite for the death of many of your kind and the ultimate destruction of our sun..But since I helped your mom rescue you from that crazy woman recently, I think things may change, at least I hope they will.." she smiles hopefully.

Mon-El has posed:
    "Well," Lar begins, thinking back and glancing at the picture in the locket again. "It was some Earth holiday. Valentine's Day, right? It's supposed to be some kind of lovers' day. And I was trying to make you feel special after looking at some internet videos. We went for ice cream. But I kept screwing things up." he laughs again. "I think you still enjoyed it though, right?"

    At that last bit he stops, eyes widening a bit. "Wait, she talked to you? She actually let you help?" He seems surprised by this.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers's smile widens even more and she nods, looking happy. "Yes, that's right! I find these human holidays rather odd myself, but I rather like the idea of Valentine's Day.lEven if you were late for that movie, and you wanted to take me to watch a crazy blood and hugs horror movie because you thought it looked more fun than the soppy chick flick.." she smirks, eyes glittering merrily as she recalls that day, "Then you actually spilled popcorn down my shirt by accident of course. But You kept apologizing awkwardly, I actually thought that was really sweet of you, tripping over your own words.." she nods, "I did, we had fun in spite of, or maybe because of it. I think we both relaxed.." as for his mom, she just shrugs and smiles, "Yeah, I was pretty surprised but she must have been pretty desperate. I mean, she was willing to set aside our differences so that we could team up to find and rescue you."

Mon-El has posed:
    "Ha, yeah maybe I should have done more research before I tried doing this Earth holiday thing." Lar chuckles.

    "Huh." He considers that last bit about his mother for a moment. "You know, maybe I shouldn't have written her off so quickly, then. I...almost feel bad that even though -I- lost hope in them, -you- didn't." he smiles. "I guess that's just one more reason why I love you more than anyone, Kara..."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers shrugs and smiles, "Hey, we're all learning, no biggie. It's part of living, making mistakes. At least it ended out okay.." she arches a curious brow about his mom, a bit surprised. "Oh really..You felt that way? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come between you and your family.." although what he says next causes her to hold her breath. "Lar..Do you really mean that? I mean...You still feel that way, about me?"

Mon-El has posed:
    "It's like you said. We all have a lot to learn. And especially me, from you." Lar replies with a nod.

    At her last question, he takes her hand in his. "Of course I do. I always have, and I always will."

    "You know, maybe there's hope for this yet. If I've learned anything from you, it's to never give that up. Because sometimes, it's the only thing that keeps you going."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers nods and smiles, taking his hands, giving them a squeeze. "Awe Lar, I'm so happy you remember me..I guess we just need you to remember all those other details. But I'll help you through, I promise. And you're right, you should never give up.."

Mon-El has posed:
    "No, I meant--" Lar laughs, shaking his head. "Never mind. I think it's all coming back now, for the most part. Give it a few days and I should be back to normal."

    He frowns slightly. "I hope that um...crazy woman you mentioned earlier didn't hurt you, did she?"

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers blinks a bit in confusion but shakes her head, smiling, "Well, I'm just glad you seem better. As for that woman..Don't worry about it. We sorted things out in the end, your mother helped too. Guess we make a great team, but I'm still curious about who she is and she she was so obsessed about you?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar frowns pensively for a moment, then sighs. Oh, -now- he knows who that must have been. "Yeah, she..." Another sigh. "It's complicated. Honestly, I think she just doesn't know how to love. I do hope that someone does teach her how one of these days. But I don't know if that person can be me. She just gets too emotional over me..."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers arches a brow at him, smirking slightly and looking amused, "Old girlfriend of yours? But she did seem..Troubled. It's a pity we couldn't get through to her in the end but maybe one day she'll get her happy ending too.."
