Good reading.
Chapter 1
Kara Danvers was very distraught. It had been some time since her sister had broken her engagement, and she lived it badly enough. Alex had been working less at DEO, spending most of his time in bars and drowning in beer or alcohol. And each time, the kryptonian had to fetch her sister who was totally drunk.
She found her sister, as every night, at the same bar getting drunk. She must have been on her fifth or sixth glass. And considering the state in which she was, Kara noted to her chagrin, that Alex was drunk.
Pay careful, she approached her.
"Alex, come on, I'll take you back," she told him gently, wanting to take her by the arm and take her with her.
But her sister pulled her arm away from her.
"Leave me alone," she spat with a drunken air.
"You can't stay that way," Kara insisted, wanting to take her arm again. "You're not in your normal state."
But Alex still kept stealing from her.
"Go away, Kara!"
"Alex… "
"What? What am I supposed to do? Maggie and me are broke up our engagement and I should have a good time and watch you play the superheroes in the red cloak? No thanks, I've done enough for you!"
Kara gave a long, weary sigh.
"I'm trying to help you, I'm here for you. As you have been for me…"
Alex took another sip of her glass, pointing at her sister.
"Yes, you do well to mention that," she snapped. "I spent my whole life sacrificing everything for you! I only did that! Dad did it for you and where did that bring him! I lost Maggie, I don't have a fiancée, no father…"
Kara lowered her head, shocked by her sister's words.
"Alex, don't say that, please…"
"Why?" continued his sister in a cold tone. "Only the truth hurts. Everyone treats you as a hero, but you can't protect those you love, and that's true. Look at Dad and look at Mon-El!"
She took another sip of her drink, before retorting in an icy voice:
"If I could make a wish, it would be to have never met you. I wish you never disembark in our lives. You're not my sister and you're not a hero, you're nothing to me! So get out away and leave me alone before screwing up someone else's life!"
Deeply upset, Kara watched as her sister sank into the booze before leaving her tears in her eyes. She left the bar, and burst into tears.
A few hours later, determined to cheer Alex, Supergirl flew over the city of National City, in the middle of the night, in search of individuals being involved in the secret and diabolical organization of the name Cadmus, which was run by his worst enemy Lilian Luthor. Once she found her, she would force her to confess where to find Jeremiah Danvers.
She used her super-hearing, hoping to detect a sound that would betray Cadmus, but until then, she had found nothing. For months, Lilian Luthor had been discreet and this greatly worried the daughter of Krypton.
Fortunately, Winn had given her an old address, where Cadmus used his laboratory. Today it had become a simple abandoned warehouse. It could be a good track. Krypton's daughter landed, and explored the scene with her X-ray vision. The walls were all lead. Convenient. Lilian Luthor knew what she was doing to hide herself. Kara remained focused, but had a hard time. Alex's words had really upset her. The one and only good thing that had happened since the Daxamites attack was the marriage of his sister and Maggie Sawyer. And today, both had broken their engagement. Alex was at worst, as was Supergirl. If she couldn't find a track to Jeremiah Danvers, she didn't know what to do to fix things between her and Alex. Her sister was an inspiration to her. She was his greatest strength. She had to succeed.
She was so fuzzy with all that was going on in her head that she'd not heard the intruders coming towards her, until it was too late. A door opened suddenly, and before she could react, a smoke bomb formed near her, giving off green smoke. Supergirl realized it was kryptonite and felt weak and smothered. Then four Cadmus agents made their entry. One of them had an electric baton, another with a firearm, and another with a large assault rifle containing alien bullets. Supergirl threw herself on them to surprise them, knowing she had to get by quickly. She grabbed two of them with her fist, but was not quick enough to block the agent's powerful shot that hit her at the back of the knee, releasing a cry of pain. At that moment, she was hit by the blast of the cannon that emitted a kind of kryptonite energy, throwing it against the wall and collapsing and screaming. The agent with the electric baton shocked her with his weapon, weakening him terribly. Another agent put a collar on her that neutralized her powers. Kara was doing everything to defend herself, but she received the butt of a gun on her head, knocking her out at once. Before she lost consciousness, she heard a voice from the agents talking to a radio:
«We got her! Target acquired.»
The only sound that came to her was a vague radio background. Her wide open eyes could only make out fog. And her whole body was in pain.
Kara tried to open her eyes completely, but a bright red light blinded her. She tried to move her arms, but something held them prisoners. She decided to move her fingers. This simple contraction of fingers required a colossal effort.
As she went, she watched her surroundings. Outside the bright red light that stood above her head, dazzling her eyes, Supergirl found that she was in a dark room. She wore a white dress spotted with blue, as in hospitals. She was barefoot too.
Then slowly, she realized that she was on a metal table that was cold to her. And that her hands and feet were chained to the table. The room she was in now was much more advanced than the one she had met before. Her cell was flooded with red sunlight and the room was equipped with lamps that, she was sure, had something to do with kryptonite. Red sunlight was worse than Kryptonite because, even if it didn't cause any pain, it would remain weakened without the possibility of recovery until it was exposed to the yellow sun.
The cell door opened and Lillian Luthor entered with two guards, including a Cyborg Superman looming in the background.
"Nice to see you again, Supergirl, I hope you enjoy your new home," Lilian said nicely, as if it were two acquaintances meeting in a lunch. "My guards did not bother you too much, I hope?"
"Go to Hell!"Kara snapped, weakly.
"In a way," said Lilian, « I must thank you, Supergirl. You have contributed to my cause, the one for which my son has already sacrificed himself, with your actions. Your entanglement with the Daxamites has not only proven that you and your cousin are not strong enough to save this world, but that deep down, you can be as wild as any of us humans. And now, people are wondering, in the traitorous recesses of their hearts and minds: "What if Supergirl decided to turn against us?"»
The kryptonian remained silent, glaring at Lilian. She wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of having succeeded in hurting her.
"And yes, public opinion towards you can change at any time,"added Lilian in an exultant tone.
"You got me," Kara answered in a calm, dry voice. "What do you want? Kill me?"
"Kill you?" exclaimed the matriarch Luthor, as if she felt offended. "No my goodness! I'll not kill you! There was a time when I wanted it, certainly, but not anymore."
"And what has changed?" asked Supergirl, frowning.
"Recently, I made an absolutely incredible discovery," Lilian continued with a beaming smile. "I learned about the Multiverse, and I came across a particularly interesting Earth. I met some very special people who were interested in anything out of the ordinary. I told them about you, and they were very interested. They asked me to deliver you to them. I think ... they have specific projects for you. I will leave you in their hands.
Supergirl seemed worried, wondering who spoke the shrewee Luthor. On which Earth could we be interested in the great powers of Krypton's last daughter?
Lilian retired and left the room, smirking at Kara.
"Goodbye Supergirl. This is the last time we see each other, now."
Leaving the dark room, Supergirl struggled as best she could. Alas, she stretched out her arms, forced herself, pushing her body in all directions, she could not free herself from her shackles under the red sunlamps. She was a prisoner, and saw no escape.
When Alex woke up the next day, she didn't smell very well. Alcohol and beer prevented discernment. She didn't know how she managed to get home. She had a big hangover. Slowly, she had taken a glass of water, and began to find her wits. She remembered with horror what she had been balancing at Kara the night before. How could she have uttered such horror over her sister? How her grief justified this attitude? No, she was going to talk to Kryptonian and explain herself as an adult.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Kara's number, but found her messenger. She left a message.
"Hey Kara. I doubt that I must be the last person you want to talk to. I'm sober this time. And I really don't know what took me last night, I'm sorry. Even sorry is a euphemism. I am so mad at myself, you can't know. Call me, please, we can talk between sisters. Bye!"
Shortly after, Alex was almost sober again, and ready to go to work at the DEO, when his phone rang. Thinking of Kara, she hurried to answer, but fell on J'onn J'onzz who informed her that Supergirl had missing. Apparently, she had launched her full sandstone to hunt down Cadmus last night, and we had lost touch with her.
Terribly worried, Alex thought back to what she had screamed at her sister the day before. Kara had to leave to track Cadmus because of her. She had to be found as soon as possible, something had happened to him.
"Oh God, Kara, where are you?" Elder Danvers asked anxiously.
Kara woke up, tied to a chair, as kryptonite emitters overwhelmed her. As she watched her new surroundings, a silhouette of a man walked toward her. He was a tall bald man with a monocle on his right eye. The man looked at the kryptonian with a grin.
"Hallo Fräulein," he said with a strong German accent. "Welcome to our Earth."
"Who are you?" asked Supergirl, worried about the turn of events.
"Wolfgang Von Strucker," the man replied, bowing his head. "I am also called Baron Strucker. I am one of the leaders of Hydra, and I was fascinated to discover not only the existence of the Multiverse, but also you, an alien with powers beyond the human. You are prodigious."
"What's that Hydra?" added the kryptonienne, contemplating the German with anxiety.
"A world organization to take control of this Earth, and you, Fräulein, you will help us! Cut off one head, two more shall take its place."
Supergirl stared fiercely at her captor.
"That's not gonna happen! Screw you!"
"We are coming to a new era," continued Baron Strucker, "an era of miracles. Miracles that will change the world forever. And these Avengers can't do anything to stop us."
"The Avengers?" Kara frowned.
"Don't worry, you'll meet them once you join us," Strucker added with a grin.
"No way!" repeated Supergirl fiercely. "I'm not cooperate!"
Strucker continued to smile, while guards came into the room with a strange, tall scepter with a twinkling light at the top.
"You will cooperate, Fräulein, whether you like it or not," answered the German, taking the scepter.
He positioned the tip of the scepter on Supergirl's forehead. Immediately, she remained inert, as if something seized her mind. Strucker looked at her with a satisfied air.
Later, in one of Hydra's laboratories, Srucker went to his men. They greeted him by raising their arms, as a sign of fascist salvation
"Hail Hydra!" Screamed they.
"Hail!" replied Baron Strucker. "Meine Herren, I show you our new weapon that will rid us of the Avengers and help us to dominate this world."
At these words, he brought in Supergirl. She now wore a dark suit with a red cape and the symbol of a skull surrounded by tentacles instead of her family emblem. Her gaze was not human, as it was manipulated. Kara was gone.
"This is Supergirl!" Strucker went on.
The Kryptonian raised her arm in the air, making the same fascist hello.
"Hail Hydra!"she said.
After a brief look with the men, Krypton's daughter turned to Baron Strucker.
"I swear fidelity to Hydra! And I'll kill your Avengers!"
"Well," said the German with a sinister look.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
