Chapter 12 prisoners
Days ago, Cadmus, prison. James.
His head hurts. Slowly he stands up and checks his surroundings. The room he is in is metallic 5 sided with 2 glass walls. The room in which he woke up in has a bed left of him. A toilet in the other corner and a desk against one of the sides of the glass wall. He's in a cell. The hall behind the glass wall lights up in a red light. Like it mimics a red sun. James steps towards the glass wall to see what is going on outside. He sees two Cadmus agents dragging someone in. He recognizes the person.
"J'onn!" He screams towards J'onn, but he doesn't react.
The two drag J'onn into the cell on the other side of the hall which at second looks is more round and has several cells and is larger than expected he can probably see most of the cells.
"J'onn!" He tries to get the attention of the Martian in the cell in front in him. "J'onn!"
He sees the Martian slowly standing up.
"J'onn!"
"Mr. Olsen?" J'onn looks around. "Where the hell are we?"
"I Have no idea. Cadmus I think."
"Cadmus, I don't seem to have my powers it is likely yes."
"I saw two of their agents drag you in there."
"Then Cadmus it is."
"A door opened again."
The two of them turn to the door that just opened. This time the person is conscious and is struggling against his captives.
"Mon-El?"
"J'onn? James?"
One off the cells opens and they push the legionnaire Daxamite inside. Who quickly turns around but the cell is closed before he can make it through. James sits behind the desk of his cell and sights.
The morning after, Cadmus Prison, Lena.
After the long talk she had with her mother she is now dragged trough a heavy guarded hall. From the two prisoners she is the only one conscious. The other prisoner looks like one of the D.E.O. agents that is friends with James. She turns towards Lillian one more time in the hope that she could finally talk her out of it.
"Mother please don't." She says almost begging.
"You had your chance Lena we talked it over, you rejected me. Rejected the Luthor cause. Your family's cause." Says Lillian as cold blooded as she was.
"I get it why you have to capture me but why him?" She looks at the unconscious D.E.O. agent on more time, gosh if she could remember his name, she knows him.
"You where captured as allies of Supergirl. Its nothing personal from my side."
She remembers him, the hero from the future who helped to save Sam. They called him Brainy.
They walk trough a door and she notices that they are in a round cellblock. The cells that surround them their glass triangled shapes make the room look even scarier than it already is in this red lighted room. Three of the cells had already been filled.
"James!" Lena screams as she notices her boyfriend in one of the cell's. She looks at the other cells. "Mon-El?" She recognizes the former prince of Daxam and now time traveler from the future. "J'onn."
"Like I said allies of Supergirl will be captured. Lock Them up." Lillian turns away from her stepdaughter.
"Do you mean that these lamps are really red sunlight lamps?" asks Lena.
"Yes and the walls are lined with lead. Supergirl wont rescue you all soon." Lillian turns her head towards Lena and Smiles. The walks out of the room.
Both Lena and Brainy are shoved into a cell.
"Oh god its brainy." She hear Mon-El say under his breath.
"Seems like he is waking up." Says J'onn who has the best view at the unconscious genius.
"aah!" Brainy screams out of pain.
"Brainy!" they al shout out at the same time.
Brainy stops screaming. But still holds his hands towards his head.
"Brainy?" Mon-El screams again.
"Cant think, hurts, aah, pain, they, must, have, help, from, some, one, who, knows, my, kind." Brainy says with breaks and in pain.
"Brainy calm down. Just concentrate on my voice and work over the pain." Says Mon-El in calm speed and a monotonous voice. Mon-El starts to tell a story about a time when he and Brainy where up against something like what is going on now and that only with a story to focus on Brainy was able to close his mind off and that also could close off the pain.
"Did it work?" asks Mon-El when he is done with the story.
"Yes, some of my functions are offline but I am more alert now. I think its appropriate to say Thank you." Brainy closes his eyes. "The chances of being able to get out of here are 57.14 percent."
"That doesn't sound very optimistic but the odds are still in our favor." Says Lena looking around her cell.
"Yes and that is only if it stays just us captured. If they capture more of us then it could drop per person could go down exactly 7.14 percent."
"That doesn't sound encouraging."
Days later, Cadmus prison, Mon-El.
It had been some time since they where locked up in here. How does he now? Well lets start that they get two meals a day. The red lights go on at the same time every day. And Brainy has an inner clockwork that tells the exact time. So when the door open again and it isn't the time for their meal, they now that either they have been rescued or more people have been captured. This time three people are being dragged inside. At least one is conscious and is scolding the entire dictionary of the scold book of at least three languages. Rokk. Mon-El knows him from just his shadow. The guy has so to say a magnetic personality.
Three figures are being dragged in. Outside Rokk are the two others female. Nura and Imra. The three are quickly put into a cell.
"So, how did you three manage to be captured." Mon-El asks.
Everyone knows how they got to him in an ambush just on the street. It was stupid and he is a bit ashamed if he has to admit it.
"You are really calm for someone in a prison." Says Imra who is trying a way to break through the glass.
"Well if brainy says that our changes just dropped a triple 7.1 percent then I am trying to make the best of it." Says Mon-El.
"Which would make it now. 35.71 percent."
"Well it was your ancestor. The so called Evil one." Says Nura accepting her fate sitting down on the table.
Brainy gets visible angry and kicks something in his cell.
"That will not work." Says Lena calmly.
"Why are you all not working on a plan?" Asks Rokk.
"We are still working on it."
Few hours later.
"Oh god. They have Ayla now too."
