CH.10: Supergirl vs. DEO

Kara did not expect Alex to do something so…risky…but then again she dealt with rampaging aliens so she shouldn't have been surprised. Several dozen bullets pierced the air heading right towards her and a single tear ran down her cheek. No, no way was she going to let them kill her love. Alex meant the world to her and even if that meant taking on the DEO, the very organization Alex worked for she would. Finding some strength she leaps back with Alex holding onto her and twisting her body in the air she feels the bullets scratch her back before she lands behind the operating table.

"Ouch…I should have really calculated that dive better," she bit her bottom lip as the Kryptonite was still leaving her system so her back was burning from the bullets having scratched her, thankfully none penetrated.

"Kara…you are hurt…why didn't you let me save you?" Alex goes to inspect the wound but Kara waves her off with a brave smile.

"I loved that you were playing hero…but only one of us here is bulletproof…which means your death…not the best thing to have weighing on my conscious. I am not accepting that only one of us is getting out of here." Kara finds herself propped up and hears the gun fire cease.

"A foolish move Supergirl…now you have yourself trapped in there. It would have been easier being gunned down…or even more so just accepting your fate. Boys switch to batons only…close quarter combat…you hear that Supergirl?"

"Yeah I hear you…still have my hearing. Look Alex…let me deal with these guys…I may not have my full strength but at least I can buy you time to escape. You don't need to be mixed up in all this-."

Alex places a finger to her lip and as she removes it she kisses her. Kara melts into the embrace and as Alex pulls back Kara runs her hand through her short hair. "Alright we'll do things your way…but leave the bulk of the fighting to me. I know these people, I fight their style, cover me from bullets."

Nodding her head she rises up and as the men enter the room Alex launches herself at them. Blocking an attack aimed at her body she elbows him then uses his body weight against him throwing him down and snapping his arm back. The guy struggles to get up and she knocks him out with a fist to the face. Kara heads towards the man about to fire and pulls the gun back then does a side kick sending him into some of the instruments in the room sending sparks shooting to the ceiling.

Alex is amazing as she finds herself trapped between two of her coworkers. They are attacking her striking her face and trying to pin her down but she refuses to go down. She chops a guy in the throat then throws a guy onto the table and brings her foot high up and smashes it down over his stomach causing him to keel and roll onto his…ouch…face. The guy she hit in the throat tried to recover but she did a few one two combos then threw him across the room.

Kara was amazed at her beauty and strength even with her hair thrown about her face and her face bleeding she still kept going. Rushing out she feels the bullets push against her but it hardly phases her as she moves forward. "Looks like I got my strength back…any of you wish to go up against me?"

"Stand down men…leave Supergirl to me. Alex however…she is fair game…we don't want her getting bored watching now do we?" Hank sends the men out and as they go to attack Alex Kara finds her attention drawn to the head of the DEO.

"The man in the shadows…tell me…what is it you can do that your men couldn't?" Kara did not wish to get overconfident, not when it came to them getting out of this mess…and yet this guy had caused them so many problems and almost had her killed.

"You aren't the only one Alien around here…Kara Zor-El. You could have been a great team member to the DEO…but instead you turned us down…and now I will have to reveal myself." He looks down for the briefest of seconds before his eyes glow red.

"Sir…what are you?" Alex is standing over one man, her shirt is torn and her stomach is cut, but she is still standing. The other guy charges at her so she doesn't have time to get an answer; Kara however, she'd get an answer one way or another.

"I've been here for a bit…longer than most of the aliens we have fought. I have stayed hidden, observing and biding my time and then the DEO came along. I thought I could help out…keep things contained. I was doing good…until eventually who shows up but you…and just like your cousin you wish to make your mark on the world. I thought you to be a threat…you were different, untested, yet to have proven just what you are to humanity. And when you attacked…you needed to be taken down, or, given the choice to work here…make use of those powers of yours.

"You have proven resilient, stubborn, and you go and corrupt one of my best agents…make her question the sanctity of this place and all the hard work we have done. You two aren't leaving here…and if…if you even manage to escape you will be hunted down by this organization as criminals…so do you still want to leave here…after everything I have told you?" Hank looks at them but Kara already has an answer.

"You are an alien…then you of all people should know why I am doing what I do. National City needs a heroine, someone to look out for it, and while you seem equipped to take on bad guys of the universe threat…what of the people…who fights for them? Do you save people when you take on these threats…what of building structures with people in it…are they just casualties to you?" Kara was not about to step aside and let him take care of these people…not to mention snuff out any hope the city had. Metropolis had Superman…and National City had her…this organization was a little too in the shadows for her taste.

"Not all people will accept you for the heroine you claim to be…one wrong move and they will turn on you. You need to be reeled in…tutored on the way things work around here-."

"I had the best tutors around…my fathers! Are we going to fight or are you trying to audition for father number three…forget I said that." She flew at him with her fist outright but Hank was ready, he caught her fist and swung her hard into the wall and she fell down with some of the wall with her.

"You are out of your league here Supergirl…I do not wish to fight you," he reaches down and grips her throat as she kicks at him.

"It is a little late to say that…after trying to kill me and Alex!" Kara kicks out at him causing him to grunt and let her go. The two of them then combat, Kara throwing all she has at him but Hank Henshaw, assuming that was his real name was doing well blocking her punches. The two of them circled each other and as Kara went in for a body blow he ducked like a boxer and sent an uppercut connecting with her chin and sending her crashing up into the ceiling and falling down coughing up blood.

"Like I told you…you are out of your league. I will kill you…in fact there is no around to stop me from doing just that!" He approaches her and as she tries to get up he kicks her connecting with her abdomen and sending her rolling along the ground. His strength…it was just as strong as a Kryptonian…ugh…if this kept up she would be crawling out of here.

"Sorry sir…can't let you do that! Consider this my resignation!" Kara looks over and even Hank turns and that is when Alex shoots him in the chest. Hank falls down to his knees and Kara feels her jaw fall.

"Heh…never knew you had it in you…Danvers…" Hank falls down and as Kara is still stunned by this she is helped to her feet by Alex as they head to the stairs.

"You shot him…you shot your boss Alex!" Kara winced as she held her body as it had taken a beaten in that fight.

"Former boss…we should worry about getting out of here. You ok?" Alex looks at her and Kara nods her head keeping her head up.

"I'll be fine…though you do realize by doing this we will be on the run from the DEO right?" Kara takes the stairs best she can but Alex wouldn't leave her side.

"Let them come…for now though…looks like you are stuck with me. Got a place I can stay…don't think it'll be safe at my place." Alex reaches the top noting more stairs.

"I might yeah…oh and just so you know…you may need to seek employment elsewhere, not sure working in the government is a safe occupation anymore." The two share a laugh before pushing on.

Hank Henshaw lies there for a bit…his body unmoved as those around him question what to do. Slowly but surely though he rises up from his position startling a few of them; his eyes take in them and grimaces. "Don't you all have work to do? Someone get me some shades…and if possible get me something to drink, heavy."

Hank moves to sit down at a computer and begins to look at the camera outside finding Kara flying off with Alex. It would seem Alex had chosen her side…such a shame…looks like the hunt for those two would bring the DEO out of hiding. He would need an ally in this before things got too messy…good thing he had General Lane on speed dial. A wicked smile forms on his lips and as someone hands him shades he slips them on hiding his red eyes.

Authors note: Sorry for the wait. Fugitives Kara and Alex will find life difficult now that Hank Henshaw is after them. And with an alliance with one of the haters of aliens this will make living in National City none too pleasing. Can Alex and Kara's love survive? Next chapter will feature a time skip. I will also be going into chapter 11, something I imagine a lot of 'Alien Romance' readers would have wanted.
