"Their known as the Trio" Hank began "They we're imprisoned on Fort Rozz after they were found guilty of many crimes including, theft, smuggling and murder."

Alex stared at the images displayed on the monitor. The trio were identical; tall, muscular, their skin a pale green, eyes black and empty. They wore matching black armour with a red thick stripe running up each side. "Are we certain it's them?" Alex asked.

"There have been numerous reports of sightings over the last week; we've managed to pull some security footage. They were seen abducting this man four days ago" Hank loaded another photo on the screen.

"Human" Alex asked

Hank nodded "His name is Michael Keenan; he's a National City fire officer."

Alex frowned "So why take him"

Hank played some security footage "This was taken last night"

Alex watched the footage and saw Michael Keenan sitting in the driving seat of a parked white van. She squinted. She watched as two members of the trio dragged another male victim into the back of the van before driving out of view.

"We've tracked their location..."Hank began

"Hey what did I miss" Kara interrupted

Hank rolled his eyes before standing "We'll fill you in on the way"

Alex led her team to the back of the warehouse while Hank and his team took the front; Kara hovered above the warehouse and scanned its interior.

"Two hostiles are on the first floor; they have one of the men with them. No sign of the third hostile. ...oh no" Kara's instincts kicked in as she saw the hostile holding a dagger above the man. She flew towards them, crashing through the roof and two floors.

"What is...what do you see" Alex shouted. "Damn it" Alex pulled out her ear piece and led her team into the warehouse. She quickly took in her surroundings and ordered her team to spread out. The ground floor was large and dark; she noticed the white van in front of her and saw Hank enter the warehouse on the opposite side and direct his team to the first floor.

"Bainbridge, check the van; Keenan could be in there." Alex ordered. She heard loud bangs and the sound of crashing from above; then there was gun fire. She ran towards the stairs but an unknown force knocked her to the ground. Dust filled the air and her lungs; she looked back and saw Kara and one of the trios lying in a pile of rubble. They had managed to crash through the above floor during their fight.

The hostile stood over Kara and began delivering blow after blow. Alex opened fire as she moved closer; each bullet hitting its target until he fell backwards out of sight. She climbed the small pile of rubble and knelt down beside Kara.

"Are you ok" Alex asked

"Yeah, thanks" Kara replied as she got to her feet. Kara looked over Alex's shoulder and saw the hostile charging towards them. She quickly grabbed Alex and flew up through the hole she had just crashed through. She placed Alex on her feet before heading back towards the hostile. Alex quickly took in her surroundings; Hank and his team were engaged with the second hostile at the far end of the warehouse; she knew her team would be doing their best to support Kara on the ground floor. She looked to her right and saw a door; her gut told her the hostages where inside there. She took one last look around before running towards the door; to her surprise it wasn't locked. Gun ready, she pulled the door open. Her eyes fell on the man lying motionless on the floor; she rushed to his side and immediately began feeling for a pulse. Relief rushed over her, he was alive; she was about to call it in when she sensed a presence behind her; she quickly turned, gun ready but was knockedsideways with a blow to the face. She dropped her gun as she fell onto her side; Keenan dragged Alex to her feet and slammed her against the wall. Alex kicked his left knee and punched him in the face; she watched as he staggered backwards. He swung his fist but Alex dodged it easily and began delivering punch after punch. Keenan managed to grab Alex by the arms, pull her close and head butted her. She fell hard on her back; as she tried to stand he kicked her in the gut. As he attempted to kick her again, she grabbed his foot, rolled over and dragged him to the ground but Keenan was quicker. He turned Alex onto her back and locked his knees against her ribs. Alex struggled to break free but Keenan held her hands down at her side.

"Keenan, this isn't you"

Keenan positioned himself so there faces were much closer "You're right, I'm not Keenan." A wicked smile spread across his face.

Alex struggled. She looked to the door and hoped a member of her team or Kara would appear. She looked back up at Keenan; his skin was pale and lacked any sign of human emotion. His eyes were black. Keenan held her hands together and pulled a small vile from his inside pocket. Alex managed to free her left hand and was about to call for help when Keenan lifted her head from the ground and slammed it hard against the floor. Pain erupted through her head as she fought to remain conscious. Keenan poured a thick tar like liquid into her mouth. He pinched her nose and held her mouth shut until she swallowed the liquid. She began coughing uncontrollably as Keenan held her face in his hands forcing her to look up at him. He mumbled something before his mouth opened wide and a black substance flew from his mouth and into Alex's. Her whole body began to shake; sweat ran from her head and down her back. She found it difficult to breathe as pressure filled her lungs and head; she clenched her teeth and closed her eyes tight before falling unconscious.

Supergirl stepped into the room and saw her sister shaking violently on the floor. She fell to the floor next to Alex and puller up against her chest. Kara wrapped her arms around Alex and held her tight. Kara's eyes fell on the body to her left. Keenan's eyes where wide and empty; she knew the man had passed as she couldn't hear his heart beat. She felt Alex's body relax and gently kissed her forehead "it's going to be ok." She sobbed.

"What happened" Hank called as he entered the room.

"I don't know, I found her shaking and unconscious on the floor"

"We need to get her back to headquarters"

Kara nodded her agreement as Hank gently lifted Alex into his arms.
