And here it is Chapter 3! Thank you for your reviews. I really hope you are enjoying this story. Lets begin...
-Witt! - Cat Grant shouted again
-Yes, yes Miss Grant I´m here.
-Tell me where Kira is and why she is not answering her phone? - She was worried about her ex-assistant but she wouldn't let anyone notice her concern
-She… I just talked with… And she…
-Clear please! Do you know how many useful and more important things I could be doing and I´m not because I'm trying to understand you?
-She is missing - He finally said
-What?! - Cat left the papers she was reviewing, took her glasses away and look a very nervous and worried Winn.
-I just talked with Alex her, her sister. She is an agent at the D... an FBI agent and she is trying to find her.
-And FBI agent can't find her sister? Ironic - She stood up, approached to her personal bar and poured some M&M's into her whiskey cup. She only did that when she was very upset.
-Witt, take a picture of Kara from the HR personal archive and post it on the loop on every news coverage and every publication on the internet we have, ASAP. If FBI can't find her we sure can. Chop, chop.
-Miss Grant… Alex told me
-What?!… We can´t lose time - She was more worried than she wanted to admit
-Alex told me that if you wanted to do something you should call her first - Winn grabbed a business card to Miss Grant
-Oh, that's surprising. So she knew I would do something?
-I guess
-I´ll call her, in the meantime find that photo I requested and send it to me.
-What if she doesn't agree with your idea? - Cat didn't say anything else. Just by her look Winn knew he had to do what she asked - I'll email you the photo right away
Alex was still on her way to the DEO. In days like this she wanted so much to have Kara´s powers. Super speed or flying would be useful right now. Her phone started to buzz. She stopped and answered the phone.
-Danvers
-This is Cat Grant; I assume I'm speaking with Kara´s sister
-Yes, this is Alex Danvers speaking. So what I suspected just happened. I told Winn only to give you my phone number if you attempted some kind of quest to find my sister.
-Yes I was but I think I can´t because of her second job?
-I knew you knew it… -Alex chuckled
-How do you think I became the Queen of all media? Of course I knew! But I understood It was important for Kara to keep her job and remain underground so I didn't pushed her to tell me her secret.
-And I appreciate that. I want to thank you for all the things you have done for her. Some of them more important than you think. My sister, she sees you as her mentor.
-I know she told me that before… it was when the mind control thing was stopped.
-You will be surprised to know why she did that. - She remembered that day. She learned later Kara said her goodbyes to everyone, even Cat grant. She couldn´t imagine how sad and worried Kara felt - Right now Kara needs your help by not doing anything please.
-I don't like not being able to do anything but I'll do what you as you say. Do you have any idea of who did this?
-Not by now. - Alex felt frustrated and angry, 36 hours and still nothing. Just the strange device.
-Well I will keep your number and now that you have mine you will keep me updated, right? - Cat didn´t want that call to be the last thing she knew about the hero.
-Yes, I will give you the information I'm able to share. I know you care about my sister.
-We will keep in contact Alex.
Cat returned to her activities, she received Winn´s email with Kara´s photo and looked at it..
-Where are you? Wherever the place I wish you are well… Supergirl
At the DEO Max was already waiting for Alex. Jonn and Vasquez showed him the footage taken and he was surprised by what he saw.
-So Alex found the device that can make things camouflage… that is out of this world. Think of all the uses it could have - Max was really surprised and interested to know this device
-I´m sure I don't have to remind you that all you do and see here is confidential Mr. Lord. You're only here because of agent Danvers request. - Jonn wasn't sure on what to think about Max.
-I know, the last thing I want is to lose agent Danvers trust
Jonn wasn't sure if he could trust him. Using his telepathic ability, to his surprise, he knew Max was telling the truth.
-Jonn, Max - Alex arrived running - here it is… the magic device, I can't begin to understand how it works
-That sounds like a challenge to me - Max took the device and turned it on. At first the device showed the previous environment it was in, two seconds later it showed the DEO table and it seemed like Max's hand seemed to disappear.
-I was wishing you would say that, if we find the compounds of this, we may find it´s origin and maybe something that could lead us to where Kara is. - Alex was ready to get answers from that device.
-I´ll be looking further on its mechanism - Max kept all his attention to the device.
Alex couldn't believe she saw such determination on Max to help her or maybe it was only the challenge but she was glad he was there.
-Thank you Max
-You are very welcome Agent Danvers. Could you please show me where can I work?
-Sure, follow me. You can use my lab - Alex was feeling again that confidence and comfort around Max. The question was if she would allow herself to show him that.
-Oh! I'll be more than pleased to work with you - Max smiled at her
-Only in your dreams, I won't be here -They started walking towards Alex´s lab - I think I'll go to Kara´s apartment and try to find something.
-What exactly? - Since the attack was somewhere else Max didn´t understand what could be at Kara's apartment.
-I don't know exactly… It is that I miss her and being at her apartment will help to clear my mind…and I can´t believe I said that out loud. I´m… - She flushed, but she was comfortable opening like that with him, still it was strange.
-Don´t worry agent, I know you care about her. She cares about you too. - Max said that with sincerity, Alex could see it in his eyes.
She felt the urgency to hug him but kept her distance. Although she opened with him.
-I would like to know, how is she? Was injured during that fight? Is she hungry? Well of course she is… I keep wondering who or what took her away and why. She has never done any harm to anyone at least not on purpose. I just want to understand why she has to go through this after all the things she already faced. It's been only a couple of weeks since she nearly died fighting Non and Indigo and flying Fort Rozz to space.
Max wasn't sure on what to say to her. He knew the danger Kara faced that time. And now he could only see Alex´s frustration. He hugged her and... she let him.
-Thank you for being here Max. I better leave now.
-Anytime you need it Agent Danvers
Alex walked away but turned around - You can call me Alex. - They both shared a smile
Almost 48 hours since Kara disappeared. At her sister's apartment Alex saw the photos Kara keeps from them. She remembered how she knew she was about to have a sister.
She was able to see everything from her bay window. Superman just left and her parents take that strange girl home. Trying to fake she didn't see anything she ran into her bed and grabbed a science book pretending she was reading it. She heard footsteps they belonged to her father.
- Alex… still studying? - Jeremiah approached to her girl looking at the book.
-Yeah, I've an exam this week. Mr. Robinson is getting rude. What´s up?
-Listen, something just happened and... You really didn't see anything? - Jeremiah was sure he saw Alex staring by the window.
-Maybe… - Alex knew she couldn't lie to his dad, he knew her very well.
-And what did you see?
-A girl with strange clothes and Superman
-That was Superman cousin. Her name is Kara Zor-El. He asked us to take care of her.
-Oh, I didn't imagine he would ask something like that. For how long you're taking care of her?
-Alex, he asked this because she wants her to have a normal life, just like him.
-And? - Alex started to guess what that was really about but didn't want to make it real.
-She will come to live with us. She will be like our daughter and your sister.
-What?! You have to be kidding me! NO!. Absolutely NO, Where will she sleep? I don't want to share my room. NO, tell him to find another family, Why he can't take care of her himself? I don't want a sister.
Alex kept on seeing the picture, a tear slipped over her face. On that time she would never imagine how important Kara would be for her. Now she couldn't imagine her life without her beloved sister. She felt tired but couldn't sleep and as the time went by hunger came. She went to Kara´s fridge and of course it was empty… just some ice cream left. She ate it, but still felt hungry, so she ordered some pizza. It was strange being there without her favorite alien. But as she said to Max, it helped her. She missed her sister so much.
Her phone buzzed. Thinking it would be the DEO with news she grab it quickly. When she saw the screen she couldn't believe it. It was Kara´s cell phone! She picked up.
-Who is this? Why do you have this phone? What do you want? - Alex wanted answers immediately
-Just like your super sister, making so many questions. I want to talk to you, to know you more Agent Alexandra Danvers. You were recruited 3 years ago. It's strange someone would recruit you after being arrested.
-How do you know that? - Alex doubts only increased, that was confidential information and… Did he say "super sister"? He knows?!
-I´ve done my homework agent. Come to the place you were arrested, I'm sure you remember.
-Tell me what do you want? Where is Supergirl? - She wasn't sure he knew they were related and she wasn't going to confirm any information he might have.
-She misses you. I want to see her happy. I´m her admirer and I need you to make her happy. If you want to see her, come alone. Don't even try to get backup or your sister will pay the consequences. See you in two hours.
Silence… What will she do? Who was that man? She stared at a recent photo of Kara and her. She gave it to Kara when all the Myriad menace ended.
-Hey Kara, before everyone comes I wanted to give you this. - She took the gift box and gave it to her sister.
-Yes! I love gifts! I hope this is better than last Christmas present.
-It wasn't that horrible, but yes this is better.
Kara opened it and saw a picture of both of them hugging on the couch
-Alex I love it! Thank you! - Kara was hugging her sister really hard.
-Ouch. I´m glad you liked it. You really scared me these days Kara and I hope you know how much you mean to me. I love you.
She placed Kara´s necklace near it. And just as if her sister could hear her she started to talk
-You´ve done so much for us, for me. This isn't fair, not after all you have been trough. You deserve better and I won't lose you. I´ll do anything to protect you Kara.
She took Kara´s pillow and let some tears fall. She only let herself cry when she was alone or with her sister. She knew she had to be prepared and be strong so she allowed a little bit of weakness this time. She knew this would be a trap but, what if she was able to help Kara by going there?
The doorbell rang; it was the pizza delivery just in time to lift her up. She paid for it, ate some slices and wrote a note. She took her weapon and left. The note was placed kindly over the table near the photo and necklace.
She drove and arrived to the place. She went out the vehicle leaning against it. She was going to help her sister, not matter the risk. She waited. The street where she was arrested 3 years ago was lonelier than on those days. Only the sound of distant cars was heard. The waiting was killing her. She stared at her clock, just a couple of minutes before the time that man said. She thought that maybe he was there, looking at her. Using that device she wouldn't be able to see him. And if he was there she couldn't let him see how anxious or worried she was. Her heart stopped when her phone buzzed. It was Kara's phone again.
-Where are you?! - Alex shouted in desperation.
-Relax agent, we will meet. Way before you even notice it. - The man was carefully walking towards her.
He knew she was trained. He knew he couldn't risk it. He knew he couldn't play clean. When he was near enough he took out a taser and shot at her. Alex felt the charge of electricity running through her body and fall to the ground. When the charge was over she felt dizzy and everything was a blur. But that wouldn't stop her; she was standing up when he started to kick her. Alex groaned with every hit she felt.
-Are you sure you want to risk your life for her? - The man shouted to her
She took a chance to tackle the man. They started fighting and she was able took out her weapon. The man didn't back off by the sight of the gun, he kept on fighting until the sound of the gunfire ended the fight.
Alex felt fire over her right shoulder and then her head received a hit. She felt the cut over her eyebrow and went unconscious.
-Agent Danvers, sleep well, you're out of duty… - He took Alex and grabbed her into his car.
Kara knew she was alone. She was trying to get free but couldn´t. She was losing track of time and the exposure to Kryptonite has been too much. Just to breathe was being difficult. She could even feel how it was affecting her heartbeat, it was inconsistent. How long was she going to be there? Was she going to make it? She thought about everyone, Winn, James, Eliza, Miss Grant and Alex... She wished she could see them one more time. Then again, everything went black….
At the DEO Jonn tried for the fifth time to reach out for Alex and talk about what they found out about Kara's disappearance but her cellphone was off. He knew she was at Kara's apartment and so he went there. He remembered Kara used to leave a key below a flower pot. He went in and saw the pizza box; he went to the living room and the bedroom. There was no sight of Alex, but he knew she was there. Then he saw, next to the sister's picture, the note Alex wrote. It was for him.
Jonn… If you are reading this I know you way better than you think. I knew you would come to Kara´s apartment to look after me. I know how much you care about my sister and I. You have to know how much you mean for us too. I went to look after Kara. I received a call and left behind all the training you gave me to look after her. No backup. She is my sister and I have to help her no matter what. I hope you understand and forgive me for not calling you. I love you. Alex
Jonn felt worried and couldn't believe what Alex did. Where were they? How will he be able to find them?
TBC
