Chapter 2: Welcome to National City
Ten minutes earlier…
Alex Danvers was at the one of the DEO's training quarters, she wanted to punch something, ease her mind, her frustration. That was what she was doing when an alert sounded throughout the building.
"What's going on?" she asked her boss, J'onn J'onzz, who was holding up his towards something that looked like a blue portal. "What is that?"
"I don't know, but it appeared a few seconds ago, and we are cautious," J'onn said, never lowering his gun.
"So… what are we going to do? Wait to see if anyone or anything would come through?"
"Well, we are waiting to see who'll come through, and if they are bad, we'll shoot'em."
"Yes, sir," Alex said, raising her gun towards the portal.
A few seconds later, three men came out before the portal closed, and the agents turned their aim towards the boys.
"We come in peace?" the man in red said, his hands up.
"Wait… wait… put your guns down! I think I know these guys!" Alex ordered, put her gun down, like everyone else. "Oliver? Cisco? Barry?" Alex asked, and two of them gave her sheepish looks, and Oliver just had his usual brooding look.
"Hey Alex…" Barry said, waving at her, and moving closer to give Alex a hug.
"It's good to see you, Alex, J'onn," Cisco said, giving her a hug too.
"Cisco."
"Yeah, you too, but what are you doing here?"
"Well, you see, Oliver got himself it some trouble, and our Earth thinks he's dead, so…"
"You brought him here so he could have a new life," J'onn added, coming closer to the group talking.
"Yeah… we came here to give him a tour, and ask Kara to help," Barry said, looking around, and when he couldn't find what he was looking for, he turned back to the Earth-38 duo. "So… where is she?"
"Euh…" they said, at the same time.
"She… euh… she's gone… we can't find her, anywhere," Alex said, hesitantly.
"For how long? She's been gone for how long?" Oliver asked, stepping into the conversation.
"Well, she started acting weird after she got back from an off-world mission, and a few days later, she just disappeared… that was a little over a month ago…"
"So you haven't seen her since then?"
"No, like we told you, she disappeared over a month ago, and we don't know where she is…"
"Uh… J'onn?" Winn asked.
"What is it agent Schott?"
"Uh… there is one person who might know where Supergirl is… Lena Luthor…"
"You think that her mother took Kara?" Alex asked, turning to her sister's best friend.
"Yes, Liliane took Kara, I am sure of it, but what I am less sure of, is if she told her daughter."
"I can call her, ask her to come here, she knows about us," Alex said, taking her phone out.
Lena Luthor was at CatCo with James, looking at some files to find Supergirl. About two weeks after Supergirl went missing, James had to tell Lena about Kara's identity, when they could no longer explain the blond's absence to her best friend. Lena's phone rang, and she stiffened, showing the caller ID to James, so, dreading some news, Lena answered. "Lena Luthor, what is it, Alex?"
"We have some new development, we need you to come here at the DEO." Alex Danvers demanded.
"Sure, I'll be there soon," Lena said, ending the call.
"So, what's going on?" James asked, curious, as he saw Lena get up and leave.
"They have news, and Alex asked me to head to the DEO now."
"I'll come with you, then," James decided, taking his coat and leaving wit Lena.
While the group wait for Lena, Cisco comes closer to Winn, and sits next to him. "So, you're the tech guy for Supergirl?"
"Yup! That's me! Although we also have some help from the Legion of Superhero, they have their own tech support that is a twelfth level intellect, who loves to brag about it."
"Great, so I have a question. If you guys knew Supergirl was with this Lena Luthor, why would you stay here and do nothing about it?"
"Cause… we don't have proof about it… so if we attack an agency like Cadmus, we would be discovered as a clandestine organization that deals with aliens, so we can't do anything," Winn said, sadly.
"You don't have to do anything," Oliver said, dropping in on the conversation.
"And why is that?"
"Cause we are going to attack Cadmus and rescue Kara."
"We are?" Barry asked, confused.
"Yes, we are, cause we owe Kara for the Dominators, and the Earth-X problem… and we can't let her stay there longer than she already did. Well, we'll rescue her once we have her location."
"What is this I hear about saving someone from my mother?" Lena asked, coming toward them, with James by her side.
"Yes, we plan on storming the Cadmus headquarters. With your help," Oliver said.
"And who might you be?" Lena asked, confused at his presence, and the other two that weren't there before.
"Oliver Queen, I came here with Barry Allen here, and Cisco Ramon, who is talking with Winn, it's nice to meet you," Oliver said, holding up his hand to shake Lena's.
"Lena Luthor," Lena said, shaking his hand.
"James Olsen," James said, also shaking Oliver's hand. Barry and Cisco went up to the newcomers, and shook their hands as well.
As the team thought, Kara was being held by Cadmus, after they caught her all those weeks ago, they took away her Supergirl outfit, and changed her into Cadmus prisoner clothes, which are red pants and a beige tank top. In the month she was taken, the Cadmus bastards used most of their kryptonite tools, including swords, throwing knives, chains, bars, gold synthetic kryptonite whips, daggers. In the first two weeks, Liliane organized 'sessions' where her men would take Kara to a room, chain her hands to the ground, and either use the wipe on her, throw knives at her as if her back were a target, or use the daggers.
At the time, Kara was on break, they had taken her back to her cell, where she was resting. Every time she tried to move, she winced, today had been a busy day in Cadmus. Kara was woken up early in the morning, and they chained her in the usual room, where she would wait for Liliane or any other agent to come and damage her even more. As expected, Liliane entered the room, and she went directly to the tool table, where every torture tool imaginable was just lying there, at her disposal. Again, as usual, she asked questions about the DEO, Lena, her cousin, the Fortress, and when the Kryptonian didn't answer, Liliane would cut her deep. After running out of questions in the late afternoon, Luthor just took the wipe and used it on the blond's back, just to hear her scream. When she got tired of hearing the screams, Luthor demanded her prisoner was taken to her cell, and chained back up.
An hour later, an agent entered the room, around the same age as the Kryptonian, where Kara's cell was placed in isolation, so the only people she'd see, were Cadmus, not other aliens. "What? Liliane already wants another torture session?" Kara asked, her back to the door.
"Oh, no," he countered, coming closer to the room, and opened the door, placing something on the ground. "It's lunch time," The agent said. He didn't seem to have the same hatred in his eyes as the others, and he didn't seem afraid of her.
"T… thanks…" Kara said, dragging herself to the food, and taking it, before leaving to her bed. "Why…?" She asked, starting to eat.
"Why what?" the agent asked, confused at the question.
"Why are you not scared of me? Why don't I see hatred in your eyes? Like the other?" Kara asked, confused.
"Because, I don't think you are as bad as the rest of them think. I do think that this planet is for humans, but we can still share our planet with refugees, people that need a new place to live."
"Yeah… but… but why? Why did you join Cadmus? If you didn't think like them, then why would you work for a monster like Liliane Luthor?"
"Because… she threatened me… if I didn't come… then she would have my whole family killed… so I decided to pack my stuff, and go with them-" he paused, when he heard something in his ear, as he placed his hand on his ear, and sighed, removing it. "I have to go, I will see you tomorrow with lunch. My name's Kyle, by the way," He said, and he left.
After Kyle left, Kara rolled into a ball in her bed, and ate her lunch.
One night, while she was sleeping, Kara woke up coughing, loudly, as green smoke appeared from the vents. "K…kryptonite…" Kara groaned, before she lost consciousness.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt sick, probably because of the kryptonite, she was chained to the ceiling, with kryptonite chains. Suddenly, the door opened, and the devil herself entered the room, with another man, he seemed strong, very strong. "Wha… what is h-he doing here?" Kara asked, fidgeting in her chains, hurting her wrists in the process.
"He's here to prepare you before our little chat, darling. He is the best fighter Cadmus has," Liliane said, padding the man on the shoulder.
"I'm not here so you can praise my fighting skills to your most valuable prisoner, Liliane," The man said, putting on his gloves.
"Well, I'll leave you to it," Liliane said, a devious smile on her face, as she left the room.
Kara tried to escape her chains again, but found it impossible, without her powers, so she stayed still and waited for the first blow to come, and when it came, she cried out, feeling a bruise coming on her stomach. As if she were a punching bag, the man punched her in the stomach, and the hips multiple times, probably causing internal bleeding, and massive bruises. She had blood on her lips, and was coughing loudly between every blow, and blood was shed on the floor.
After about an hour and a half of doing that, Kara had lost consciousness, passed out because of the pain. The man took off his gloves and exited the room. "You can inform your boss and I once the prisoner has woken up," he ordered, before leaving.
A half hour later, Kara woke up, feeling sore, and had a big case of déjà vu, as Liliane and the man who punched her was also there. "W-what d-do you want?" Kara asked, very confused.
"Oh, it's time for our little chat, remember, and if you can't answer, our friend here will have to beat it out of you!" Liliane said, a little too happy. "So, let's begin."
The three-hour interrogation went as well as the other times: Liliane asked questions about the DEO, the Fortress, her cousin, basically everything about her life, as Supergirl, and as Kara.
Like at the punching session, Kara had lost consciousness at the end of the interrogation, and Liliane instructed her agents to place Kara back in her cell, and chain her up. That was how Kyle found her an hour later, with her lunch. He opened the door, placed the food on the ground, and knelt next to Kara, who was asleep on the ground, and a mess. Kyle patted Kara on the shoulder, get her to wake up, and when she did, she jumped as she saw someone over her. When she recognized him, she hugged him, happy to see a friend in there with her. "Hey… what happened? I heard Lilian say Marcus beat the crap out of you in interrogation," Kyle said, rubbing her back.
"I… Marcus… he… he 'prepped' me for… interrogation… he kept using me as a punching bag…" Kara sobbed, unable to contain the tears any longer.
"You'll be fine, I know it…"
"H-how do you know…? I-if I get out… and you help me… I… what will happen to you…?"
"Don't worry about me," Kyle waved her off. "I know that if I help you, I'll have to suffer the consequences of my decision."
"But…"
"No buts, I'll help you, if I have to… but until then, you'll have to hold on, please," Kyle begged Kara, massaging her back, and petting her head.
"Ok…" Kara nodded, and Kyle sighed, in relief. "I'll hold on."
Kyle nodded, kissed the top of her before getting up, and leaving the cell, closing it. "I'll be back soon," he promised, as he left the room. As she did the last time, she rolled in a ball, ate her lunch, and cried, from all the pain.
