Chapter 4

Mon-El was on his way to the bar when he got a message from M'gann telling him he might have to work late that night. Walking into the bar, he decided to talk to her face to face.

"Oh! There you are!" M'gann called. "You got my message?"

"Yeah! I don't mind working late. Anything important?" Mon-El asked as he jumped over the counter.

"Joe and Fish-face are going to sing," M'gann explained. "They asked for my permission last week. But since last week was hectic, I thought it would be good today. But if it ends early, you can go home."

Mon-El nodded, quickly pouring himself a club soda. When he heard someone ask for beer, he left his soda on the counter and went to pour them a drink.

Kai looked at the club soda and sighed, he needed something strong, but the soda would do for now. He finished it in one big gulp. He then turned around to see all the aliens and humans at the bar.

When he heard a small groan behind him, he turned around to see Mon-El holding an empty glass. He must have thought someone else had finished his drink for free. Kai smirked, watching Mon-El pour himself another glass of club soda, but finishing this one in a single gulp.

In less that ten minutes, Kai was bored of seeing Mon-El be the mixologist he was, so he stepped out and used a spell to track down Kara. A blink later, he was walking into CatCo.

He located Kara in the huge office with another blonde. The lady looked a bit older but confidence was oozing in the air. She had a smug smile on her face as she talked to Kara about Supergirl's new partner in crime.

"You can just tell me who it is," Cat said.

Kai walked into Cat's office and plopped on the couch, throwing his legs over the table in front of him. Kara stiffened as soon as he walked in. Kai couldn't help but chuckle. She felt him. She was drawn to him.

"Miss Grant, I've no idea who you are talking about," Kara said, fidgeting with her glasses.

"I don't believe you, Keira. I want you to call your friend Supergirl and ask her."

Kai rolled his eyes, already bored with this conversation. He headed out to see a familiar handbag on the desk in front of him. Blondie's bag! He opened it and grabbed some cash from it.

When he saw Kara walk out, he gave her a mock-salute and walked away. Kara took a seat and rubbed her temple. Miss Grant was onto Mon-El, and she had to protect him. His identity. Just as she was about to call him, she saw that her handbag was on the desk. Keeping it down, she pulled her phone out.

There were three text messages for her. She opened the one from Alex first. 'What's this about a ghost and a haunting? If something is wrong with your apartment, you are more than welcome to have a sleepover at my place. Talk soon, sis!'

Kara quickly sent her a reply that she was okay; she was just imagining things.

Next was a text from Winn that read, 'Kara, I don't know what's going between you and Mon-El, but he looked pretty upset. Then he was gone for some five minutes before running out like a madman. He just jumped out of the building and ran off. I tracked him down; he's at the bar. I know you don't want me interfering and I also know you are busy at work, so I'm gonna go talk to him. He's my friend too. Just wanted to let you know."

Kara let out a loud sigh. Whatever was bothering Mon-El, she had to talk to him. Hear him out. Deciding to go visit him at the bar later that evening, she opened the last text, which was from Mon-El.

'Hey. I won't be able to meet you tonight. Got some work to do here. So… yeah. See you tomorrow, Supergirl.'

"Supergirl, huh?" Kara looked down sadly. He had never been this… reserved before. What had she done now?!

Kai Parker had reversed the invisibility spell and was now walking around the city—in the darkest part of the city, mind you—to hunt. He saw a young blonde standing at the end of the street, looking at him with a smile.

"Hey handsome! Looking for something?" she asked him.

"Sure! What can you do?" Kai asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Anything!"

"You sure about that?" He smirked, moving closer. Pushing her against the wall, he ran a single finger over her cheek, lowering it all the way down to her neck. Suddenly grabbing the girl by her hair, he looked into her eyes, his pupils dilated as he spoke in a stern tone, "I'm gonna take something from you now. But you will not remember or tell anyone. Do you hear me? Not a word. You are going to forget everything."

Mindlessly, she replied, "Yes."

Kai lightly ran a finger over her pulse point before lowering his face and sinking his teeth into her neck. The girl stood very still as he drank her blood. Once he was done, he wiped the blood off his mouth and disappeared into the dark alley at an unnatural speed.

Kai walked into the town again and spotted Big Belly Burger. A burger would be nice now, he thought, as he headed straight in and ordered himself two burgers and a large soda. Once he was done, he paid with the cash he borrowed from Kara and headed back to the alien bar.

Chanting the invisibility spell, he walked into the bar to see Mon-El moping around; drinking beer instead of club soda. Mon-El wasn't concentrating. He ended up screwing two drinks, which made M'gann talk to him.

"Are you feel alright?" she asked.

Just like any Martian, she was also able to read Mon-El's thoughts. He wasn't doing well; certainly not ready to help her out at the bar, so she decided to let him go. "Go home. Take rest. We have enough staff for later. You really need to rest." She patted his shoulder.

"Are you sure?" Mon-El asked. "I'm sorry, I'm just having a bad day."

"I know. Go home, Mon-El." M'gann gave him a small smile before walking away.

Mon-El let out a sigh before grabbing his jacket. He checked his phone to see if Kara had replied. When he saw there were no new messages, he pocketed his phone and walked out into the barely lit street. The lights began to flicker as he kept walking. Mon-El stopped short when that eerie feeling of being followed returned.

Before he could turn around, he heard a voice, much like his own, say, "Gadyen nan balans, gadyen nan la foi. Se pou nou fe sa yo dwe fe." Mon-El felt drowsy, but he managed to turn around to see someone standing in front of him. As he collapsed, Kai ran towards him and grabbed him.

"Nighty night, Monny boy!" Kai lifted him in his arms, threw him over his shoulder and ran to the place he had seen before coming to the bar.

Mon-El's heavy-lidded eyes opened to see what looked like a mirror. Except the reflection showed the person lying on what looked like an old, broken down car's roof. He was in an old warehouse of some sort with lots of scrap metal lying all over the place.

But here he was, tied up to an unseeable force, almost like a thick rope cutting into his skin. It burned. But it wasn't lead.

"Wh-who are y-you?" Mon-El stammered, his mouth dry, unable to put the words together.

The man, his capturer, looked up. A strange smile played on his face as he sat up straight. "Oh hey, Monny boy! Nice to see you livin' and talkin' like a good boy! Oh, I must say, you are hot. But not as hot as me."

"Wh-what?"

"Oh, I didn't offend you, did I? Coz I've never imagined that I would ever see my doppelgänger, but here you are! With a hot little girlfriend as part of the package. When I say hot, take it as a compliment! Coz if I wasn't into girls and if you didn't look exactly like me, we could have... hit it off."

Seeing the man smirk, Mon-El used his full force to break through the invincible bounds.

"Tsk-tsk—move an inch and I'll rip you apart!"

Mon-El's eyes widened as the man kneeled in front of him, his hand around his neck. "All I need to do is snap a finger and you will be dead meat!"

"What do you want from me?" Mon-El shouted. "Let me go!"

"Really? I'm doing you a favor! Your little girlfriend is all high and mighty; have to get her down that high horse. Since you don't have the backbone to do it, I'm volunteering to help you out. Bring her down to her knees!"

Mon-El tugged at the bounds again, they cut deeper into his skin. "Don't you dare go anywhere near my Kara! I will kill you, yo—you rat face!"

Kai's smirk fell and his eyes narrowed at Mon-El. Titling his head to his right, he loosened his muscles before chanting, "Phasmatos superous em animi..."

Mon-El screamed in pain as he felt like he was being thrown into flames, his body being ripped into pieces, but all in his mind. He could feel his eyes getting wet as the pain slowly intensified.

Kai watched as Mon-El struggled, crashing on the floor, trying his hardest to escape the bounds. Out of his own guilt, Kai chanted, "Phasmatos Somnus."

Mon-El stilled, unconscious from the pain. No longer struggling, but certainly not in peace. Kai stood up and let out a loud sigh. He headed towards Mon-El and removed his watch and pulled the wallet out of his pocket. Taking the phone out, he saw a text notification.

"Oh look, Monny boy! Blondie finally decided to talk to you," he said before he read the message Kara had sent Mon-El. 'Mon, I came over to the bar earlier. M'gann said you weren't feeling well so you headed home. I checked at the DEO too. Where are you, baby? I'm really worried now. Please come home. I love you.'

Kai smirked. "Well, Monny boy, looks like it's time to be you!"

Five minutes later, when Kai stepped out of the warehouse after exchanging his clothes with Mon-El's, pocketing his rings, he turned out and casted a boundary spell in order to seal the warehouse.

He then ran back to the city and ran towards Kara's apartment. He was about to ring the doorbell when he felt a single key in his pocket; taking it out, he opened the door and stepped in.

"KAAARRRAAA, I'M HOMEEEE!" He called with a huge grin on his face. Kara was sitting on the floor with her back to the couch. As soon as she saw him, she ran to him and threw her arms around his shoulders. Kai held her in his arms, breathing in her scent. She smelt delicious. Leaning down, he placed a soft kiss over the pulse point on her neck; then he looked up with a smirk.
