Chapter 14:

Hearing Tony refer to Indigo by her actual name shocked me, but something told me that this problem needed to be taken care of first before he could explain to me how he knew about the alien computer whore who had previously had been Non's lover before he had married Astra.

Before I could even say anything, Tony activated another console. "Hey, Winn, I may need your help on this," he said. Winn quickly got out of his seat & positioned himself in front of the second console, which was right next to Tony's.

"You've stopped Brainac 8 before, right?" Tony asked. "Yeah. Then she tried to kill me," said Winn. "Well, that's not happening this time, buddy, because you & I are going to stop her," said Tony. "How?" asked Winn.

Tony just smirked & said, "I have an idea how."

Then both guys got right to work.

Tony put in some codes he had developed while Winn put in a few himself that Tony gave him. While they were doing that, I sat next to Steve Rogers.

"I hope they can do this," I said. "I wouldn't worry, Kara. Tony is really good at this. Trust me," said Steve with a comforting smile. All I could do was smile back.

After all the anti-hacking codes were in place, Tony & Winn got themselves ready to press the enter button at the same time. We all watched with baited breath especially me.

"Ready, Winn?" asked Tony. "Yes, sir, I am," said Winn. Both then looked right at the screens in front of them.

"Now!" yelled Tony. He & Winn had hit the enter button at the same time, & the next thing we all knew, the sirens were off.

"Did we do it?" asked Winn. "Let me ask director Fury about that," said Tony. He then tapped the speaker button on the table.

"Nick, did we get rid of the alien bitch?" asked Tony. "You did. Good work, guys," said Nick Fury, who was in his office.

Everyone breathed a major sigh of relief. I then got up to hug Winn because I was very proud of him.

"What did you guys do to get rid of her?" I asked. "Anti-hacking software I had developed for both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the DEO," said Tony. "Wow," I muttered. "Pretty cool, huh?" said Tony with a wink. "Very cool indeed," I said with a smile.

However, as Tony, Winn, & I all sat down again, we all had the feeling that Indigo attacking S.H.I.E.L.D wasn't going to be the last time we would have to deal with her.

We all just needed to brace ourselves for what other surprises were around the corner.
