AN: Let's the confrontation begin!
Kara and Alex went back next to Hank who was standing in front of the main screans.
"I hope you're back in fight mode." He addressed Kara.
"I am." She said crossing her arms. Hank could see she had cried but chose not to talk about it and focussed on the mission.
"So, when do we attack?" Alex asked
"We don't" the director replied coldly.
"What!" Kara was astonished by his answer
"But he tried to kill Kara! We can't let him go just like that!" Alex yelled
"Forget your will for revenge, agent Danvers. We can't arrest him simply because we don't have direct proof. We only have suspicion."
"Strong suspicion" Kara corrected as in was obvious. "So what do we do then?"
"I'll make him talk" Alex proposed
"No you won't! He is dangerous, how many times do I have to tell you that!?" the blonde complained
"We don't have many options. His security system is to elaborate to put him under surveillance... He would notice immediately"
Kara was about to disagree again but her sister stopped her.
"What if this time it isn't a diner with high heels. What if I go armed, with an earpiece and back up." Alex tried to convice her
It was silent for a moment. Kara was thinking.
"Ok but I'm your back up" she finally stated making Alex smile.
"Alex, I can't give you back up team or it will be much more suspicious than it's already going to be. And don't play it physical; again, don't think about revenge." Hank warned, very concerned about the one he considered like his own daughter
"I won't sir."
Alex went to the locker-room to prepare herself. She adjusted her belt and her holsters. Then, she went to the armury, took her loaded gun and an other charger just in case. Finally, she put an earpiece and checked with Kara. Everything was working. The agent joined her sister who was waiting for her in front of the DEO main entrance. She took a car and started to drive with Supergirl flying above her.
Alex parked the car a few streets before Lord's builiding.
"Kara, don't get too close to the building or they will see you"
"Copy that" Supergirl answered firmly
The woman in black walked down the street and entered her enemy's building. She presented herself to the reception.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No but..."
"I'm sorry then." the receptionist said with a fake smile that was pissing Alex off
"I don't need an appointment" the agent said roughly, showing her badge.
"Euh...Wait a second please" the woman took her phone and talked with a so low voice that even Alex couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Mister Lord is waiting for you in is office. This man will get you to him" she said pointing at one her collegues
"I know the way"
The brunette walked behind the receptionist's desk, took the elevator. She had to prepare herself quickly because the elevator would open directly in Maxwell Lord's office. When the doors opened, the man was looking through the giant windows with a glass of whisky in his hand.
"Agent Danvers!" he said turning back. "What gives me the pleasure? I'm sorry our last encounter had been cut off, but I had an emergency" Maxwell added walking towards his guest
"Well I didn't like the food so I'm not too sad about it."
"I suppose you didn't come to talk about the very expensive food you wasted that night; so...Why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask you about the attack you conducted on Supergirl" she started confident
"I don't know what you're talking about" he said taking a sip
"Come on, we both know that you hate her. So you hired Paul Matterson to do the dirty work for you and healed his daughter in exchange"
"Matterson...Oh I know that name. It was one of the name of the earthquake victims. During the one Supergirl helped nobody."
Alex knew Kara was listening. She hopped she could contain herself and not burst through the window and kill Lord. "Keep going. I'm ok" the voice of Kara went like a relief in the woman's ear.
"Tell me where Matterson is" Alex ordered
"Well, hypothetically speaking, and if I were him. I would be very far away from Nationalcity with my beloved daughter. Because, who ever hired me was a brillant man who explicitly threatened me so I would fly in an other country to build a new life."
"You're a discusting men" She spat at him
"That's what jealous people say." he said proud of himself.
"I swear you're not going to walk free with what you did"
"It's not that I don't enjoy your company, agent Danvers, but I don't want you to be late for double cheese pizza and Game of Thrones"
"What did you just say!?" Alex couldn't believe it. He knew about Supergirl being Kara being her sister. She was about to jump on him when the elevator opened and one of Lord's guard showed up with a taser gun.
"Alex! The window!" Kara screamed into her ear
The woman started running, pointed her gun to the window and emptied the charger. In the mean time, the guard aimed at her under the amused and evil look of Maxwell Lord. As she took an impulsion to jump out of the building, the guard shot her in the back. She let out a gasp of pain as the electricity passed through her body. Thankfully, the impulsion was enough for her to break the window already weakened by her bullets. Then, she just let gravity handle the rest.
