Chapter 1: Awakening Nightmare (2 AM)
Once again their gowns and scrubs were ripped off to be dumped in the trash. Once again their hero was at peace of a somewhat painless slumber, they hoped. The first hour of a new day and they hadn't handled very well each time the machine's long death tone had rang through their ears. Too many to count of those.
"She's stable." Amelia spoke as she saw her boss in a new set of jeans, with the old ones tossed in with the scrubs too blood stained for their liking. Alex had just thrown on a tank as Lena had just got out of the shower with Susan tossing her a towel. "She's stable, her pulse is steady." Hamilton repeated as she knelt down to the Director looking in Alex's eyes. "We got the rest out of her Alex."
"You sure?" They had been in this position already and this had been the third time they'd dealt with this in 24 hours. She nodded taking one of Danvers' hands. "Thank you."
"No, thank you. Without you guys I don't think I would have been able to accomplish these tasks. I've been in medicine and the medical field for almost a decade and this terrified the hell out of me Alex."
"It scared all of us too." Lena spoke up with the towel around her body to stand behind the locker door as she dropped it to grab her clothes out. "I never want to see Kara in that position again...and I swear to god if my family had anything to do with this I'll…"
"We are all on the same page Lena." Susan added. "Though, with your mother and brother behind bars, I'm wondering who had helped him." The Luthor sighed shaking her head finishing dressing. "Do you guys need...coffee or donuts or something?"
Alex chuckled at that combing out her hair at the sink drying it to get it to calm down some. "What's so funny?"
"If my sister were in this room she'd be taking you up on the sweets, or hell flying to some part of the world for them for us and her."
"Alex…" The three women heard the sobbing at the lockers. Lena had both arms up against them her head down and body trembling. Alex set the hairdryer down and walked over putting a hand on the woman's back feeling the racked sobs coming from her. "I can't lose her Alex. I just...I just found her." She pulled Lena off the lockers turned her around and wrapped her arms around her with the tough as nails take no bullshit business woman that was nothing of those but a person broken from the pain inflicted on her best friend. "I can't Alex…"
"I know." She spoke softly and assuringly stroking Lena's hair as she shook from how hard she was crying. "I know Lena. Listen, my sister is so strong. She will pull through this." Alex hoped and prayed she was right because she'd dealt with far too many close calls since yesterday. Kara's heart had stopped several times and each time it did pieces of her own stopped too. "Have faith okay?" Lena pulled back wiping her eyes then saw a tissue box tossed to her out of the corner of her eye which Alex caught for her to hold. She took a couple tissues from it to wipe her face and blow her nose. "That reminds me…" Danvers opened her own locker taking out her sister's phone. "Here."
"What…"
"Do you want to know how much you mean to my sister?" Lena nodded with a tinge of curiosity. "Her screen pass for her phone, do you know it?" The Luthor shook her head. "Here." Alex pointed it out. "L3E/\N0A7." She looked at the phone and punched in what Alex told her as the screen unlocked and a song's ringtone played.
"You walked into the room and now my heart's been stolen,
You took me back in time to when I was not broken..
Now you're all I want, and I knew it from the very first moment..
Cause a light came on when I heard that song, and I want you to sing it again…"
"Oh my god…" Lena felt her heart hammering as she put a hand over her mouth.
"I guess I was the idiot, to not see what my sister was feeling. I saw her write that code out on a piece of scratch paper and at first I didn't see what it was. Then she left it on my counter by accident, and...I finally saw it." Alex punched it into her phone on a text to the woman whom saw her own light up in the locker taking it. "See it?" Lena looked at it closely then turned her phone around gasping. "Now...let's get back on focus right?" She nodded to store that info away for later.
"So what do we do now?" Lena asked not wanting to leave Kara's side again. Alex looked in her eyes and nodded. "I'll stay with her."
"Aaron and his team will stay with her and you. I know...I wish you could come out too but.." Alex set the box down on the bench and took both of Lena's hands. "I want you here. For her, for me. Be by her side. Be that hero that she has always believed you to be." Lena smiled nodding.
"I can do that." Alex released her hands then pointed in her locker. "Wha…"
"I modified your model and mine. These should give a little more of a kick if someone fucks with us." They both grinned. "More toys is good right?"
"Okay, when do I get mine?" Susan chimed in with both women laughing giving thumbs up to her. Vasquez's eyes widened and she got a huge smile. "Really?"
"In Alex's lab. Go on, tell me if I need to making any modifications okay?" Lena informed her and the agent booked it out to run to the Director's lab. "Haha, I think she's excited."
"Ladies?" Both women turned to the doctor just as they heard "OH FUCK YES!" come from the lab. "I am going to check on Supergirl and make sure the lamps are working. Did you two want to come before you head out for the hunt Director." Alex and Lena both nodded.
He was cleaning up yet another mess made from the damage that had almost been fully repaired from yesterday. That team had worked quick, but electrical and the internal end hadn't really been touched yet. Painting and touch up had to wait too. The desks and computers however the DEO had graciously replaced themselves which James was grateful.
"How's ponytail doing Olsen?" Snapper walked up with surprisingly two cups of coffee handing his boss at the moment one. James took it.
"Since when do you work this early in the morning? Last time I checked she was fine. Lena is with her." He grumbled sipping his caffeine.
"Since our place got hit by a crash and landing Supergirl. Aren't you two.."
"Doubt it anymore. Hell, I don't think I can even call her a friend now. She's my boss, that's it."
"What crawled up your ass to make you go anti-Luthor all of a sudden?" James looked at the man and snarled and just that noise made Snapper walk away mumbling. "Go wake up on the right side of the fucking coffin Olsen!"
"Fuck you." He grumbled sipping his coffee again. He looked around then said fuck it and walked out of the building and down to the parking garage where his bike was. James had just gotten off the elevator to the garage heading over to his baby when he heard a female voice speak out to him.
"That's a mighty fine piece you got there." He looked over as a warm brunette with streaks of red in her flowing shoulder length hair walked over in quite the gorgeous outfit and his eyes caught her baby blue ones. "Personalized?"
James nodded and couldn't help but glance along her nice shoulders where part of her burgundy blouse had draped off one to the low cut end of it revealing her beautiful cleavage to down her curvy body where she'd tucked in the shirt in a fine tight pair of black jeans to linger down with a set of black high heels. She was stunningly drop dead gorgeous.
"Actually yes. A friend of mine did the custom chrome." He spoke setting his small black duffel bag down to hold out his hand. "Olsen, James.." She smirked taking it shaking it.
"Olsen James huh?" He ran a hand through his hair looking stupid. "Nice to meet you James. I assume that's your first name."
"Yeah, sorry...long day. What has you out this early?"
"Mackenzee, Kayla." He laughed. "Kayla's the first." He nodded. "Care to...go for coffee or something? Deadline on story and I'd rather not procrastinate so I decided to stay late, well now early."
"How bout a drink? I get that. I'm filling in for my boss so..." She smiled beautifully and he was already hooked. "If that isn't too brask to ask you for that...which I did."
"Not at all? Does your bike hold two?" He grinned walking away and over to a set of lockers in the garage spinning his combination on the lock to open it and retrieve a second helmet. "My my he's prepared. I like that in a man." James walked back over grinning holding it out to her. "How prepared are you?"
She took it then reached up to drag a set of nicely manicured nails along his cheek then up over his ear grazing down the back of it as her thumb ran down the front. Kayla leaned up to whisper in his ear kissing it softly which made him put his head down. Her other hand ran right over his crotch teasingly making James groan. "So prepared indeed." She pulled back to turn and look at his helmet. "Nice design."
"Oh thanks. My buddy did the artwork on it." James got his shit together and swallowed hard slightly then secured the bag in the inner compartment under the seat of his bike. "I even had him hardwire a bluetooth set up so I didn't have to worry about a dreaded phone call while riding."
"Did you? That's smart." She saw his back turned slipping the chip out from her sleeve as it slid to her fingers where she slipped it over his earpiece chip wiping her thumb over it as it blended in with the black lining. "I love this artwork. He do requests?" He turned smiling then chuckling as she handed him the helmet.
"I can see if he's available for ya." James handed her the other helmet again as both of them put their protective helmets on. "He does alot of custom bikes, gear, and car designs." He explained as he threw his protective shield vest on then his jacket. "Have you rode before?"
"What?" Kayla asked securing the strap on her helmet.
"Hold on." James spoke a little louder putting the key in his bike to turn on both bluetooths in the helmets as they linked up to his system of the dash. "Hear me now?"
"Crystal." She nodded. James got on his bike then held out a gloved hand for her.
"Have you ridden before?"
"Oh yeah. I own one. A ninja." She took his hand to mount the bike behind him. "Can we stop by my truck?" He nodded. "I can grab my jacket."
"No problem." He took off carefully not charging the speed too high yet. "Let me know where your truck is."
"Down and out to the left and three cars over by the fence." Kayla told him. "The dark green one." James whistled as they pulled up. "I have some chrome of my own." She laughed getting off the bike going to her truck.
"Mighty good looking truck there. Who did the metal work?"
"My brother." Kayla smiled flipping up her visor with her eyes darkening slightly with delicious plans for Mr. Olsen. She grabbed her shoulder bag and phone throwing her dark green jacket that was almost black on unlocking the screen to her phone going to the app on her phone. "He does quite a bit of chrome work on vehicles for a company." She told him over the com system they were linked to. Kayla clicked on the bluetooth device that came up as Guard-2 on the list. "Hey James?"
"Yeah?" He answered watching her sway her hips for him on the way back to his bike where all his attention was.
"Like the view?" She smirked clicking on the small device in her pocket before pulling her hand out adjusting her jacket.
"Mmm yes. You were asking me something?" He felt her slide behind him as her arms came around his body with her hands sliding into the pockets of his jacket. James had no idea where the thought came from but man did he want her to mount him.
"James Olsen…" She spoke and his body stiffened with his ears slightly ringing as he shook his head then relaxed with the ringing gone. "Tell me who you also are."
"Guardian. Protector of this city." James responded with a slight droned voice.
"Human. Guardian. You are my guardian now James. Take me back to your place, and show me your suit. I want you to let me upgrade it." Kayla told him and he nodded taking off out of the parking lot to his place. "On the way to your place, tell me everything about the DEO and Supergirl." She smiled under the helmet as he unleashed all the information he had on the agency and his ex friend and ex. Kayla had her hooks in the dark knight of National City and soon he'd be a part of the new Cadmus to kill Supergirl...
