Alex wakes to a dimly lit room. She is laying on the cold concrete, her entire body sore from the fight with Superman and the Daxamites, her wrists handcuffed. The invasion, fighting Superman, Kara! She remembers the green glowing from Kara's face and the sword entering her body. She must figure out where her little sister is, or if she is even on the ship. If Alex can't get to her in time, there is no telling what Reya will do to her. Observing her surroundings, all Alex notices is a pile of dirt and a pile of chains on the ground. Nothing she can use to get out or get a signal to the DEO, not like in the tank. Struggling with the handcuffs, that's when she hears it. A voice she'd recognize anywhere, Kara's. She is yelling at her captor. Silence. The seconds pass and Alex doesn't realize she's holding her breath until her lungs start to burn in protest. Then she hears the screaming. Rushing to the door, she begins pounding on it as hard as she can.

"Kara! Kara! I'm here! Be strong, I'll come for you, I promise."

Tears start to fall from her eyes. She has never felt so helpless. A darkness creeps up through her body, Kara is no longer screaming. She drops to a knee. Readying herself for whoever walks into the cell. Her training taught her to appear brave, give them nothing, no details. That will be almost impossible to do not knowing what is going on with her sister in the other room. The silence deafening, at least if Kara is making noise she knows that she is alive. They won't kill her, she must hold on to hope. Reya will want to punish Kara more for everything she thinks she's stolen from her.

"Agent Danvers, you'd be pleased to know that Supergirl tried to resist. The DEO taught her well," says Reya from a hidden speaker in the room as an image of Kara, hanging limp appears.

All Alex can see is the green, glowing in her veins. Her heart sinks, they must have injected her with Kryptonite like General Lane had done to Astra. Fear washes over her.

"We didn't have to teach her that. She has always been strong," Alex states, wiping the tears that have fallen from her eyes.

"Maybe they should have spent more time teaching you."

Alex's skin crawls at the words Reya has just spoken. She isn't sure what she is more worried about. The unspoken torture that she is about to endure, or the thought of Kara having to listen to her suffering, feeling the same helplessness to save her, like Alex. She knows that it will have a lasting effect on Kara because she has the powers to save her and to know that she can't, it will haunt her.


Her wrists are sore from where the chains are digging into her skin. The room is designed just for her. Like the DEO training room her and Alex spar in, this one has kryptonite emitters as well. Reya even took it upon herself to lace the chains with kryptonite dust. She has clearly been planning this for a while. Her mind drifts to Mon-El and to how he desperately wanted to change. She is beginning to fully understand why he had lied to her about who he was. His mother is evil, he was ashamed.

Snapping back to the present, she instantly becomes angry with herself for allowing Reya to take Alex. She is prepared for whatever Reya has planned, but she was not prepared for Alex to be a part of it. The thought of Alex being hurt because of her, tears her up inside. She had lost Mon-El. She refuses to lose Alex. At that moment, she feels a sharp pain reminding her where she was stabbed by the sword, it has begun to heal with the help of the sun lamp Reya had the guards set out. Heal her so that she could create fresh wounds. Twisted. Even for a psychopath like Mon-El's mother. It reminds her of something Lex would have done to Clark. Clark, she remembers their fight, he must be so confused, she thinks. Luthors. Lena. She hopes Lena is doing alright after escaping the ship with her mother. That will have to be tabled for another day, if she makes it out of this.

The screen in the corner of the room illuminates, showing her another cell. Alex is standing in it, her back to the corner. Surveying her surroundings.

"Alex! I'm here, I'm ok!" She yells, knowing it is probably pointless.

"Raise the emitters," She hears, a man's voice.

She braces herself for the torture she is sure to endure. Putting her Supergirl façade back on, she tries to bury Kara back down.

"We want to give you an image to associate pain with. Who better than your sister?" Reya's voice, from a safe room no doubt.

"If you can't even face me, what makes you think that you can break me?" Supergirl asks.

"Oh, I don't want you to break, not today." Reya says back, taunting her. "Shut the screen off. This will only hurt for a few minutes," Reya says entering the room.

Supergirl tries to shake her arms free from the chains, but she can already feel her powers slipping away from her with the Kryptonite in the room.

"I hacked the DEO files, I hear they had your Aunt. General Lane is a smart man, despite his hate for 'Aliens.' He tried something that I've longed to try on you," she says drawing a needle.

Eyes wide. Supergirl tries to break free, with no use. This is going to hurt. She knew that General Lane had injected Astra with the 'Liquid K', as he called it. She tried then to stop it, but she couldn't. Now, it was her turn.

"Hold her still!" Reya yells at her guards as she approaches Supergirl. Forcefully holding her in place, Reya simply says, "Maybe next time, we will let Alex watch."

Upon hearing Alex's name, Supergirl tries to appear brave.

"Don't you dare say her name!" Kara yells. "Let her go! She was never supposed to be part of this deal!"

Kara is furious, frustrated that she can't save herself, let alone Alex. Terrified inside, she thinks of Alex and how she knows that she'd be strong, she'd never give in. That's when she feels it. She can't help but scream as the liquid enters her wound from the Kryptonite sword Reya stabbed her with. It is an instant stinging, burning sensation, it takes the breath away from her. Supergirl screams as the green starts to appear through her veins. She tries to fight the pain, but it is futile, because of the emitters. She knows that she is just wasting energy fighting. She screams until she passes out. Her seemingly lifeless body, hanging up by her arms.

Reya takes a step back to admire her work. With a smirk, she simply says, "The Girl of Steel will fall."
