I'm Here For Her
Chapter 12
Alex is sitting on her bed, when the door opens and an agent delivers her lunch tray. She wasn't hungry in the slightest even though she hadn't eaten much since she was brought in. Knowing her fate when she's taken to Cadmus, she thinks there's no point anymore.
Lucy pops her head in as Alex is pushing her food around the plate not eating it. "You know you should eat something, you'll need your strength for later."
"My strength for later?" Alex questions.
"Yes and you've got something." Lucy says as she points to her chin then leaves hoping Alex sees the note inside the napkin.
Frowning at the now closed door, wondering what the hell is wrong with Lucy. Alex grabs her napkin to wipe something she knows isn't there when she sees the note.
Quickly taking it into her palm, Alex slides back onto the bed then lies down and turns away from the camera. Then unfolding it she reads, 'Lost Eagle takes flight tonight at 8, be ready.' Reading the note another time, Alex realizes they're going to try and free her tonight and isn't sure that they should.
Destroying the note, Alex goes back to her lunch tray and begins to eat. Her appetite suddenly coming back, she knows she has a lot to account for but finding her father and bringing down Cadmus is more important. Going to prison for the shooting of the FBI Agent will have to wait and she's okay with that for now.
Finishing her lunch, she paces around the containment room wondering how they're going to free her. Will it be like the last time en route to Cadmus or straight from the DEO? Wishing there was more information on the note but realizing Lucy was pushing it already.
'We can't get caught or we'll all be going to Cadmus'. Alex thinks to herself. Realizing the rest of the day will most likely creep along, she lays down for a nap. She'll need it if she's going to be on the run again.
Shortly after Kara and Cat had their long overdue conversation, Carter came home from school launching himself at Kara with a hug as soon as he was through the door. Cat, stopping him in time, reminding him that Kara is still injured and that he needs to hug gently.
Kara didn't care because she missed Carter so much she hugged him tight anyway. Having a real shower felt so good even with the plastic wrap around the bandages she felt more like herself than she has in weeks, months even.
Carter dragged Kara to his room to tell her everything he did that day and things that happened when she was missing. He thanked her for the album of their sketches and told her he'd still like to see her paintings one day.
"All right you two, Carter your dinner is ready, come out please." Cat called out as she plated Carter's dinner and placed it on the counter. She then finished putting together a tray of hors d'oeuvres for the dinner guests and began the prep for their dinner later.
Running out and sliding into the kitchen, Carter looks up and smiles knowing his mom will not like that entrance.
"Carter, what have I told you about running in the house and especially sliding?" Cat admonishes with her hands on her hip which is slightly tilted to the side.
"To not do it, but I love the expression you get when I do and I wanted to show Kara how far I could slide." Carter answers knowing his mother always lets him have his way especially when he gives her his puppy dog smile.
Kara walks in behind him and places her hands on his shoulders. "You, mister are going to get me into trouble too."
Seeing only one plate, Carters asks, "Are you guys not eating now?"
Placing a plate of veggies and fruit in front of Kara, "We'll have a light snack now with you but I have invited guests for dinner this evening."
"Why did you invite Lucy and Vasquez for dinner? It's not like you and you had this glint in your eye as if you were up to something. Are you?" Kara asks wondering why Cat would invite guests over their first night home together.
"Lucy and Vasquez I love those two!" Carter states as he begins eating his dinner. "Have they figured it out yet or are they like you two?"
"Carter!" Cat bellowed.
"How do you know Lucy and Vasquez so well? And figured it out? What do you mean... ohhhh! Really?" Kara questions realizing what Carter meant.
"Hey what do you mean like the two of us?" Kara questions with her hands on her hip not unlike Cat.
Carter looks up and sees them both and he starts to chuckle at the way they are glaring at him. "I stayed at the office every day while Mom had her search team looking for you. Lucy and Vasquez were at the office a lot during that time and I got to know them."
Kara looks over to Cat checking to see if what Carter was saying was true. Seeing her blush a little Kara knows it is.
"ANNNND you two were so into each other and everyone could see it but you. Lucy and Vasquez are the same way; you'll see." Carter finishes with a mouthful of food.
"How he goes from sliding around like an adolescent one moment to the Love Guru the next and then back to a child who should never talk with his mouth full, I'll never understand." Cat quips then turns to get something to drink for the three of them.
Darcy is looking over the floor plans of the DEO that were sent to her before arriving at the cabin. It gives her an idea of where they are holding Alex and which way she needs to go to get there. All she needs is a security card to get past the doors and gain entrance to the detainment wing. Doing something like this on the fly is not how Darcy operates and is feeling a little unsettled without more information, or a plan and a backup plan.
Feeling better but still not one hundred percent, Darcy left her lunch uneaten sitting on the table next to her bed. Though taking the knife and fork for later should she need them.
She memorizes the path she needs to take hoping that the tour will take her that way showing her more details and layout. Noting the armoury is in a section she needs to go past to get to where they should be holding Alex.
'That will work out nicely, I just need a security pass.' Darcy thinks to herself.
"Good afternoon, Darcy. How was your lunch... that I see you haven't touched?" Beth asked as she enters Darcy's room.
"Yeah I wasn't hungry yet and thought I could save it for later." Darcy lied as she smiles at Beth.
"Well, I would have liked for you to have had something in you for the tour. Grab that apple in case you feel hungry later and we'll start okay?" Beth instructed then stood by Darcy holding the IV pole.
"Umm can I lose the pole for the tour, it'll be awkward and might get in the way." Darcy asks hoping to get rid of the extra baggage.
Checking the IV bag Beth notes that this is the last dose of antibiotics Darcy will have and it's halfway done. "I'll take it out for the tour but we need to put it back until this is empty then we can get rid of the IV all together."
"Thanks Beth, I really appreciate it." Darcy says sincerely. She really likes Beth and hates what she might have to do later to get to Alex.
"Okay you're all set and we can begin the DEO tour." Beth walks out the doorway and stops to wait for Darcy to come through when she introduces the agent standing there. "This is Agent Davis and he will be escorting us today."
"Ahh I see so to make sure the troublemaker stays out of trouble and doesn't burn the place down?" Darcy jokes with Davis.
Frowning, Davis doesn't answer or even acknowledge Darcy's comment and starts to walk down the corridor out of the med bay.
"Wow, I see what you mean by me being refreshing," Darcy whispers to Beth, "Is that guy a cyborg or something? If you touch him, is he real?"
Snorting out loud Beth tries to hide her laughter seeing that Davis heard her. "We're not really sure yet. He's new and commissioned from the General's office." Beth whispers back to Darcy.
Waiting until the ladies are at the doorway to the tunnel that connects them to the command centre, Davis waves his key card and the door opens. Walking a short distance to another doorway, Davis again activates it to open it with his key card.
'A real piece of work he is, commissioned by the General so his security must be Class A clearance. I need his key card; it should get me into anywhere I want.' Darcy thinks to herself.
"And this is our command centre." Beth continues bringing Darcy back to the conversation and the tour.
"Whoa, now THIS is a place I could play in." Darcy says entranced with the screens and the computer system, tracking and monitoring. Then watching the screens noting what they are looking at or who they are observing, "Interesting indeed."
Davis is watching Darcy from the corner of the room, not liking her from the moment he met her. He believes that agents shouldn't joke and carry on, that they are there to capture aliens and criminals not horse around like a teenager.
He's heard some of the agents talk about her, with how she saved Supergirl's life. That alone ruffled his feathers, not liking an alien out and interacting with humans in the first place. Knowing the General only allows it because the people seem to like Supergirl and imprisoning her would lead to an outcry.
Looking back over to Nurse Graham and the so called FBI agent, Davis notices Darcy is hovering over an agent pointing to something on the screen.
"I believe we should continue on, Nurse Graham. I think the agent has seen enough of the centre." Davis instructs as he turns towards the doorway.
Darcy rolls her eyes after hearing Davis bark, and how he spoke when he said agent referring to her. 'Oh I'm so gonna love taking your card and you receive the blame for Alex.' Darcy grins.
"Did someone piss in his cornflakes? Or do cyborgs eat cornflakes? Maybe he needs to get lai..." Darcy begins to suggest until Beth covers her mouth before she can finish.
"He is the reason we can go into sections I can't get in. So don't piss him off or the tour will be over." Beth whispers harshly into Darcy's ear. "But I do agree with you, he needs something but I'm not sure if cyborgs even do it."
Beth's reply makes Darcy laugh out loud which she covers up with a cough which hurts her incision. So she had to stop a minute, using the desk to lean on while she recovered and in doing so, she lifted the key card off the agent who was monitoring alien activity beside her.
"Are you all right? Can you continue?" Beth asks concerned as Davis walks over towards them wondering what they are doing.
"Oh yeah I'm good, no worries just laughed too hard. Which is your fault, I'll have you know." Darcy says assuring Beth and Davis she can continue. All she needed to do now was to switch out the one key card for Davis' before the end of the tour.
Kal-El and J'onn are in Metropolis going over the plan for the night. Getting Alex out is one thing but where they are to go afterwards is another.
"It's not a good idea for you to know where we're going once I get her out of the DEO. The less you know about our whereabouts the better." J'onn explains to Kal.
"I'm just worried that if you get caught they'll take you both to Cadmus and no one would even know."
Kal disagrees with J'onn. "There must be a way to let us know you got her and are away safely."
J'onn gets up from the table and walks towards the window looking out at the city skyline. "Once I get Alex out of the DEO, I'll fly us over Mount Higgins and leave something on the roof of that woman's cabin and then you'll know we're out and okay." J'onn turns with his arms crossed in front if his chest mimicking Kal's stance. "Does that sound all right with you?"
"It does, thank you J'onn. I'm just really worried about this. Something just feels wrong and I can't shake the feeling." Kal admits to his friend.
"It's been a rough couple of weeks, Kal. You have been working nonstop, doing double duty. And with the explosion, worrying about Kara and now Alex, I'm sure you're just tired. I'll get Alex out, it will be fine." J'onn says trying to reassure Kal as he leaves the room.
"Yeah, fine." Kal says to himself.
Lucy and Vasquez are walking back from the shower room when they fall upon Agent Davis, Beth, and Darcy.
"Good afternoon, Agent Jordan. How are you feeling?" Lucy asks as she stops to greet them while Vasquez continues on to the command centre.
"I'm doing well, thank you Director. The base is phenomenal, I've learned a few things about the DEO, and I am very impressed by it all." Darcy replies.
"I'm glad; I hope it hasn't been too much for you, there is a lot of ground to cover. Has she been taking it easy, Beth?" Lucy asks Nurse Graham.
"She's doing wonderfully, one small hiccup but otherwise she's doing great." Beth answers giving Darcy a wink remembering the joke about Davis.
"Very good, I won't keep you." Lucy continues but interrupted by Darcy.
"I was wondering if I could see the armoury. I don't want to boast but I am the top marksmen in my unit and I can only imagine the hardware you have here." Darcy asks hoping Lucy will say yes, she would like to see how far she has to go to get to Alex; time being an issue once she is out of the medical ward.
"The armoury? Well I don't..." Lucy is about to deny the request when her phone rings. "Just a moment, excuse me please."
Turning away from the group, Lucy answers the call from her father. "General, is there something you need?"
"Alex Danvers is being transported tonight, and there is nothing you can say or do to change that!" The General bellowed loud enough for all to hear.
Sighing heavily, Lucy realizes that Darcy and the others are waiting for her. "I apologize, but I need to take this call. And yes Darcy, go ahead you can see the armoury."
"I don't think..." Agent Davis starts but Lucy waves him off and walks back towards her office.
"I guess this General is a real pain in her ... neck?" Darcy asks Beth as they turn towards the section of the armoury which is near the detainment area and Alex.
"The General is Director Lane's father and they tend to butt heads every once in awhile." Beth informs Darcy much to the chagrin of Agent Davis who thinks the FBI agent is asking too many questions and learning too much about the DEO.
"Ohhhh well yeah that would explain things. It's difficult to work with family especially if they don't see eye to eye." Darcy comments as she's being led down to the armoury. Hearing that the General is coming to pick up Alex tonight, she needs to make her move.
Whistling when they lead her into the armoury, Darcy makes a 360 around the room. "I think I've died and gone to heaven."
"MP5 submachine guns, Remington 700 Sniper rifles, and Remington 870 12 gauge shotguns, those I'm familiar with but these," Darcy points at the weaponry to take down specific aliens."I'm not so familiar with."
"They have specific functions that cannot be discussed with a civilian, whether you are an FBI agent or not, you do not have clearance for that information." Agent Davis began. "And I think the tour is at its end. We should head back to the medical unit." He then opens the door and gestures for the women to leave.
"Spoil sport." Darcy whispers just loud enough for Beth to hear as they walk out of the armoury room bumping into him as she went.
Going past what Darcy knows is the detainment area; she slows down and looks towards the door. "And where does that lead, a short cut to hell?" Darcy asks reading the word Detainment on the door.
"Another area you cannot have access to." Agent Davis replies and continues to walk away.
"Is, is that where Alex is, the agent who shot me? I haven't met her yet." Darcy asks looking at Beth.
"Ms. Danvers is not an agent and was a fugitive until her recapture the night she shot you." Davis retorts as he walks back to the women trying to get them away from the area.
"She was an agent and the Director of the DEO, I'll remind you Agent Davis." Beth said with fury having had enough of his attitude and dislike of everything to do with aliens and the DEO. "You can leave now Agent Davis, I think Agent Jordan and I can get back to the medical wing on our own."
Turning towards Darcy, Beth answers her question. "Yes, Alex would be down in that area awaiting her transport to another facility. I'm sure you know what transpired the time before, talking with Kara."
Darcy nods in agreement, "I would have liked to have met her. I'm sure she's guilt ridden from the shooting and she shouldn't be."
"I'm sorry, I would like to have you two meet but it's a no-go I'm afraid. That area is for top security clearance only." Beth replies putting her hand on Darcy's shoulder gesturing her to go along the other corridor.
Making their way back to the medical wing, Darcy grins to herself as she feels the key card she switched after bumping into Davis. Hoping he doesn't notice or go to an area the other agent from the command centre has no access to.
Arriving back to Darcy's room, Beth gets the IV and hooks Darcy back up to finish the last of her antibiotics. "You must be exhausted that was a long walk for you." Beth inquired as she threw away her latex gloves.
"I am a little tired but not like you would think. You were right though; I should have eaten my lunch and not just the apple you made me take." Darcy admits to her nurse.
"Wow, you are admitting that I was right and you were wrong?" Beth jokes with Darcy enjoying chatting with her.
"Yes, yes I am admitting that. You are something else, y'know that right?" Darcy teases.
"I am!" Beth agrees with a laugh.
"I know you stayed past your shift to take me around the homestead here, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated it and that you made it a lot of fun. You tearing a strip off Davis was the icing on the cake. You rock Nurse Graham!" Darcy cheered then gave Beth a hug.
"That did feel good when I told him off; he was being such a jerk the entire tour but he's like that all the time. He wasn't here when Alex was an agent and Director. She was a great leader and what they're doing to her is unfair." Beth says as she breaks away from the hug.
"I assume the other facility is not a happy go lucky prison?" Darcy asks wondering what this place actually is. One man wants Alex there to be punished; the other wants her dead before getting there.
"It's a, it's not a good place, that's all I know. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to be sent to that place."
Beth admits. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said all that."
"It's all right, I shouldn't have asked." Darcy replied.
"I should get going. I had an awesome time this afternoon even with Davis dragging along." Beth says as she goes towards the door.
"I had a great time too, you were awesome, Beth. Thank you so much, you've been so kind to me and I am so grateful." Darcy replies sincerely, knowing she won't see Beth again.
"You are very welcome Darcy, get some rest and I'll see you tomorrow morning." Beth says as she waves goodbye.
"Goodbye, Beth."
It's almost seven when the doorbell rings at the penthouse. Carter runs to answer it but not before he is chastised for running and to make sure he looks to see who it is before he opens the door.
Rolling his eyes at his mother, Carter does as he's told, and checks to see who it is. Kara is not far behind, always there to protect even when she doesn't realize it.
"LUCY! VASQUEZ! Carter shouts his excitement, pulls open the door quickly, and gives both agents a huge hug.
"Hey little man, how are you doing?" Vasquez asks while hugging the boy then ruffling his hair.
"Vasquez, my hair!" Carter grumbles then tries to fix it up.
"You still look handsome even after she messed with your hair, Carter." Lucy says giving him a wink.
"I think someone has a crush on yoooou." Susan whispers in Lucy's ear, earning her an elbow in the ribs.
"Ow!"
"Try and behave, Sus, for at least a minute." Lucy quips as she walks further into the penthouse.
Kara stood back to watch the interaction, 'I think Carter was right!' she thinks to herself. Then looking over at Cat she gives her a wink and walks in behind the agents.
"Good evening, Lucy, Susan. I'm glad you could make it." Cat greets the ladies as they enter the living room. "Please have a seat, dinner will soon be ready. May I offer you a drink?"
"Susan?" Carter asks.
"Yes? That's my first name; you can use it if you like." Susan Vasquez answers Carter, with a small chuckle.
"I like calling you Vasquez, sounds tough and cool." Carter responds animating the tough by flexing his not-so there muscles.
"Carter Grant!" Cat calls out.
"It's okay, Ms. Grant, he can call me whatever he likes, he's a great kid and funny to boot." Susan replies hoping to keep Carter from getting into trouble.
"See Mom, it's all right Vasquez says so!" Carter points out then gives his best puppy dog smile.
"Susan, you are a guest in my house, so please call me Cat. And you young man, behave or you'll be going to your room sooner than you think." Cat gives him her best glare to match his puppy dog smile then raises her eyebrow; she wins.
Laughing at the three from the kitchen, Kara and Lucy are getting the drinks when the doorbell rings again.
"I'll get it." Kara calls out to keep Carter from running and getting into trouble again.
Opening the door, Kara greets and hugs Beth and gestures to her to come in.
"I guess you're here to check the wounds and bandages?" Kara asks as she walks into the kitchen where Lucy is just about to deliver two glasses of wine to Cat and Susan.
"Hello Lucy, Susan, and Ms. Grant." Beth greets everyone. "And you sir, I don't believe we've met. My name is Beth and I'm a nurse who looked after Kara."
Being the shy boy he is, Carter looks up at his mother then to Kara. "She was your nurse?"
Kara nods a yes and smiles at him and he walks over to Beth and shakes her hand, "Thank you for helping Kara, my name is Carter Grant and it's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too Carter." Beth replies shaking his hand.
Cat is bursting with pride at how Carter introduced himself and shook Beth's hand. He's slowly growing out of his shyness and she couldn't be happier. Then looking over to Kara, she can see the same pride in her smile and glassy eyes.
"Okay, Kara let's have a look. I assumed you had a shower and you covered the bandages so they wouldn't get wet?" Beth asked as Kara escorted her to the bedroom.
It isn't long when Beth and Kara exit the bedroom and make their way to the living room joining the others.
"Beth, we're just having a small dinner party, would you care to join us? There is plenty of food. Plus you came all this way because of my uncertainty about Kara's injuries." Cat asked as she walks towards the kitchen.
"Oh no, Ms. Grant, thank you but I don't want to intrude, really thank you though." Beth replies.
"Nonsense, you're here now and you all know and work with one another, it will be great, what would you like a drink?" Cat asks from the kitchen.
"Please do, Beth. It will be fun," Kara assures as she nods her head towards Lucy and Susan and giving Beth a wink.
Smiling, and catching on Beth agrees and takes her glass of wine and settles in the chair across from Lucy and Susan.
Coming in to check on Darcy, Nurse Parker notices she's getting ready for bed. "Is everything all right, Darcy?"
"Oh hey Willow, yes I'm fine but the walk around base today really tired me out. I think I'm going to hit the hay early." Darcy replied.
"Are you sure you're just tired, do you have any blurriness or feel light headed?" Willow asks then gets the digital thermometer.
"I'm just tired, reall...mph." Darcy tries to respond but Nurse Parker sticks the thermometer in her mouth mid sentence.
Beeping, it shows Darcy's temperature is a little elevated but nothing serious. "All right, and you're sure about not being dizzy or anything?"
Chuckling at Willow's concern, "I'm fine, just pooped I have been pushing it since I woke up from surgery, at least that's what the doc always says."
"That's true, you have. You're done with your antibiotics so I'm just going to take out your IV." Willow explains as she takes out the needle from Darcy's arm holding a cotton swab over it then bandaging it a minute later. "Okay you're all set. You get your rest and I'll check back later." Willow replies as she's about to go out the door.
"No need to check on me, you'll wake me up then I'll be up all night bothering you!" Darcy jokes but hoping the nurse doesn't come back in too soon.
Laughing at Darcy, Willow waves and continues out of the room. While Darcy stuffs her duffle bag with towels and pillows, then placing it in her bed hoping it will pass as her with the lights off.
Changing into her street clothes Darcy takes her phone, the key card, and the cutlery she kept from today's meals. Turning out the lights she stands by the door and waits, making sure no one is walking by as she leaves.
"General, Sir. The prisoner transport truck and escort are ready and waiting, Sir." The new recruit from the academy informs Lane of the status of their departure for Alex Danvers.
"Thank you Cadet. Tell Commander Reed we'll leave in five minutes." General Lane orders as he packs up his desk. This time he is accompanying the transport team to make sure the detainee is delivered to Cadmus without any complications.
"Sir, yes Sir." The cadet salutes and goes back outside to find Commander Reed.
Finishing off the last of the scotch he poured earlier, General Lane thinks back to the phone conversation he had with Lucy. By demanding that Danvers be transported tonight because he didn't trust her to not thwart the mission, started an argument between the two like no other.
He can't prove it but he knows his daughter had something to do with J'onzz and Danvers escaping the last time. And Agent Davis informing him that she and another agent were up to something, he knew he had to act now, consequences will come later. Unfortunately, by doing so, he may have just ruined his relationship with his youngest daughter. Checking his desk that nothing is out of place before leaving, General Lane picks up his briefcase and heads outside.
J'onn leaves Kal-El's home around 7 p.m. and arrives at a local eatery near National City that is frequented by the agents of the DEO. Already disguised as a man from Metropolis, he enters the eatery looking for an agent that he can shape shift into.
Not believing his luck, he finds the perfect candidate, and within a few minutes leaves the eatery as Agent Kevin Price, in charge of the armoury and has top security clearance allowing J'onn to get to Alex without any foreseen problems.
A few agents are now heading to the DEO to start their night shift beginning at 8:00 p.m. and Agent Price a.k.a J'onn J'onzz is along for the ride.
It's now almost 7:30 p.m. in National City, and Winn leaves his comic-con party and makes his way to a rundown apartment building a few blocks away. Jogging up to the second floor where he has a network setup already in place, he powers up his laptop and waits for 8:00 p.m. to hack into the DEO's security and loop their video to hide Alex's escape.
"I hope everything you gave me is right, Vasquez, one slip, and I'll be someone's bitch at Cadmus." Winn mutters to himself as he watches the monitor and seeing the security feed for the DEO.
The ladies are chatting away as Cat sets a tray of hors d'oeuvres down on the coffee table in the middle of the living room.
Beth was recalling the afternoon tour with Darcy and Agent Davis, which made Kara and Susan laugh. Then Kara told a couple of stories of her time with Darcy at the cabin. All agreeing that Darcy would be a good friend and a good DEO agent.
Carter was bored within 15 minutes of the ladies chatting and went to his room to play video games.
Lucy is a little quiet, since the phone call with her father this afternoon. It left her hurt and angry and worried they will get to Alex before J'onn does. Checking her watch Lucy is hoping everything is going to plan and that J'onn and Winn are ready for 8:00 p.m.
"Lucy?" Kara calls out. "Is everything all right you don't seem like yourself tonight?"
"Huh? Oh um yeah I'm good, Kara. It's been a rough couple of days with the General and everything." Lucy replies looking at her watch again. "I'm just a little tired that's all."
Vasquez reaches over and lightly covers the watch with her hand which gets Lucy to look up and sighs knowing she's too wound up.
"There's nothing you can do now, it's up to J'onn and Winn. They can do it, so stop worrying and take a deep breath and down your drink." Vasquez whispers in Lucy's ear.
Nodding her head agreeing she takes a deep breath and a drink from her wine glass. "Thanks, Sus."
Kara goes to the kitchen and hugs Cat from behind. "I think something is up with Lucy, though Susan seems to be helping her relax. You and Carter were right. You can see it in the way they look at each other."
"Just like us, it seems." Cat replies as she turns in Kara's arms and hugs her back.
Kissing Cat softly, Kara agrees, "Just like us."
Darcy has already made her way from the medical wing and through an underground tunnel to another section of the DEO unseen. Having had the tour earlier had actually tired her out and she is feeling the effects of it already.
Almost to the armoury now Darcy continues to make her way when she hears voices and she slips into a room with Davis' key card. Inside the room, there are lockers with training gear and uniforms. Finding boots and a DEO uniform that fit, Darcy changes and then checks outside finding no one, she continues on her way to Alex.
Checking her phone to make sure she's going the right way she hears Davis on his phone talking to General Lane. "Yes, Sir, I'll meet you outside and escort you to the detainment centre. No Sir, Director Lane, and Agent Vasquez are not on the premises. Things are quiet tonight, Sir." Davis relays his information to Lane. "Yes, Sir, I will see you at 1945 hours Sir," Davis finishes his call and walks towards the tunnel to lead him out of this section of the DEO.
'You don't have much time Darce, get your ass in gear.' Darcy tells herself and continues to the armoury quickly.
Finally arriving at the weapons room, Darcy goes in and gets a handgun and some ammo, looking up she sees a bullet proof vest. Over reaching, she grabs the vest feeling her stitches pull in doing so. She grabs another gun then leaves the weapons room turning right towards the detainment area.
The centre is huge and looking down the long corridor, Darcy needs to find Alex and fast. Making her way down she looks into each window and continues on to the next and the next.
"Shit there are way too many prisoners in here, WAY too many!" Darcy says out loud to no one.
Then finally coming to the last door on the left, she looks in and sees her target pacing in a glass enclosure.
Winn watches the monitors then notices someone coming out of a room and heading towards where Alex is and thinks it could be J'onn. Not knowing for sure who he is disguised as, Winn loops the feed early hoping he is doing the right thing.
J'onn a.k.a Agent Price and the other agents arrive at the base and sign in using their key cards. Agent Price continues on towards the detainment centre when Agent Warren who is just getting off duty asks how his date went with Nurse Parker the prior night.
Not wanting to bring unwanted attention but needing to get going he winks at Warren and gives him the thumbs up and walks away.
Walking down the corridor, J'onn sees another agent coming from the command centre and is walking towards him. He stops and is about to ask J'onn a question, when his phone rings.
"General Lane Sir." Davis answers the phone. "Yes, Sir, I'm on my way up now, I'll see you in a few, Sir.
Turning away from J'onn, Agent Davis quickly walks past him and makes his way to the top to greet General Lane.
Realizing they don't have much time, J'onn may not be able to wait for Winn to loop the feed. Waiting for the Agent to walk out of J'onn's line of sight he starts towards the Detainment centre checking his watch for the time.
Arriving in a large black prison transfer truck that's been retrofitted with bars over the bullet proof windows with a segregated compartment for prisoners which seats six, General Lane and his guards are greeted by Agent Davis.
"General it is nice to see you this evening, Sir." Davis greets the General with a salute. "As I reported earlier, Director Lane and Agent Vasquez are not on base, Sir."
"Good, good. Now let's get the prisoner and get out of here. Have a few agents escort us to Detainment. I want to make damn sure no one stops this transfer." General Lane bellows and waits for the agent to let him onto the base.
"Of course Sir," Davis replies and calls on his coms to have three agents meet them outside the Detainment Centre. Walking down into the base, they walk through the corridors towards Alex.
Lucy checks her watch and notes that it's almost eight, so she gets up and walks out to the balcony. Wishing she could call someone to see if things are a go, but can't due to alibis and checking phone logs. She knows if this works, her father will be after blood and heads will roll. Alibis or not he's not going to believe she wasn't involved.
Vasquez follows Lucy out to the balcony and watches her go through a myriad of emotions. "Hey, are you okay?"
"No, not until I know this is over and it worked. Dad knows something is up. I just hope J'onn gets there first, if we lose Alex to Cadmus..." Lucy starts but can't finish.
Susan hugs Lucy to comfort her, "Then we'll devise a plan to get her out of Cadmus, we won't stop trying, Lucy and Alex knows that. Have faith in J'onn he can blast through the walls. He won't let the General get to her first. Don't worry."
Hugging Susan back, Lucy lays her head on her shoulder, "We won't give up, and you're right, J'onn won't let the General get her first."
Darcy swipes the key card and the door to Alex's cell opens. Standing there, she sees the woman that has the DEO and others in a free for all pacing in her enclosure. Looking around, Darcy looks for something to open it up, thinking it's probably bullet and superpower proof.
Alex is pacing her room and sees the door opening up. Looking out she sees a DEO agent who is not familiar to her looking around as if she's never been in here before.
Walking to the glass, Alex notices something familiar about the woman but she's not sure. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Alex calls out.
Pulling out her gun and holding it down by her side, she answers, "I'm Darcy, and I'm here for you."
