Alex clenched her fists as Miss Grant sped through the town. She knew that she should've made Maggie stay. Her parents were probably in on it. It was the only theory that made sense.

Diana had been staking out Lillian's lair and after reviewing her timeline with Winn they had assumed that Lillian would stick to her usual routine. After Lillian did not show at the checkpoint Diana was staking out she quickly raced through town until she found Lillian's car traveling toward the abandoned school with an unconscious Maggie inside.

Instead of rescuing Maggie right then, Diana decided it would be better to let Maggie go, if she had even the slightest opportunity to get close to Lena it would put them in a better position.

Alex knew that the change to the plan made sense, but she couldn't shake her anger. Her girlfriend was in grave danger, and unlike Lena, she had no super powers.

Cat slammed on breaks and the car screeched to a halt. Alex raced out of the car with a duffel bag across her shoulder and climbed onto Maggie's bike. She threw on her helmet and turned it on. Maggie always left the keys in the ignition, it was something Alex always scolded her about. Today she was thankful.

As Alex pulled off she noticed a few droplets of blood near the sidewalk. Her stomach turned.

Alex sped through the streets of Midvale and quickly caught up to Cat's car.

Just outside of town Kara burst out of the car window and disappeared into the trees. Alex picked up speed and passed by Cat and Winn. Thankfully they had planned for things to go wrong so they did not have to come up with a new plan on the spot. Although it did not make Alex's part any easier.

She turned into the woods some distance away from the school and turned off the bike. She turned it around, facing the road in case she needed to make a quick getaway then opened the bag.

One of the things Maggie and Alex did when skipping school, or after school and even weekends was paintball. Maggie had bought Alex a gun and a few extra magazines so they could play in the woods for hours on end.

Alex sighed as she began strapping the weapons to herself. The Mags were still ice cold. Kara had given them a quick frost in the car. Paintballs, frozen were much more deadly, but less deadly than actual bullets that Alex has refused to use. She did not plan on killing anyone and if she had to use a real gun without proper training she could not imagine the damages. Diana had, however given her and Maggie each one gun in case their lives depended on it which Alex had agreed to. Better safe than sorry. Although this whole mission seemed a little insane.

Alex sighed as she tried to attach Maggie's holster to herself. The bullet proof vest she was wearing already took up so much space. Eventually she got it right and ran through the trees toward the school.

Eventually she neared it. She peered through some leaves and took a good look at it. It had been a small elementary school, not holding more than 400 students before it relocated and expanded within the town. Nature had began to take it back she could see, by the overgrown tree's and moss covered walls. It would have been beautiful if Alex hadn't known what evil awaited her inside.

She slowly made her way closer to the building, being sure to stay hidden behind the trees. She walked around the school until she saw the side entrance, her entrance. She quickly climbed the low wall and hid in-between bushes, her paintball gun raised and waiting, watching.

Diana had said there were two guys usually at that exit, one walked outside and looked around every 10 minutes and the other would check on that guy every 40 minutes. All she has to do now was wait.

Before she knew it the door creaked open and a large, muscular man took a few steps outside holding his AK-47. He quickly scanned the garden. Alex crouched lower. He then lit up a cigarette and began smoking. His face seemed to annoy Alex tremendously, it was just her anger for having Maggie inside instead of at her back. She tried to calm herself down and for the first time understood what Kara had been feeling the whole time Lena had been gone.

The smoker a few feet in front of her quickly threw his cigarette on the ground put it out then kicked it in Alex's direction. As he turned around another guy walked through the door. He was tall but very skinny, and the dark rings around his eyes made him look extremely tired.

"What are you doing? Don't think I didn't see that cigarette. Boss says it's game day. She'll have your head if you mess even once today."

"It is just a cigarette, calm down. It's not like I'm getting high or something. I am in complete control of what is happening this side. Stop stressing."

"If you had any idea what was happening right now you would not be saying that, you would actually be craving 1000 cigarettes."

"What is going on? Everyone is getting ready for something and they won't even tell me what it is."

"You don't get paid enough to know."

"What you're sacred that I am going to run away?"

The tall guy smiled then turned to leave in a hurry. "I am late on my rounds because of you now!"

He disappeared into the school at a speed. The other guy sighed and looked at his pack of cigarettes, deciding for a second before turning back toward the door.

Without another thought Alex fired three shots at the man. They all hit the side of his head and he collapsed immediately. Alex thanked Diana for the new upgrades on the guns which made them a lot softer. She quickly ran to him. She threw his gun into the mixture of tall grass and trees and used one of her many zip ties to strap him to the rail. She then put a piece of duct tape over his mouth and entered slowly.

The evil feeling surrounded Alex now. She hoped she would last long enough to help Maggie and Lena.

She stood in the empty hall and looked around. The guy that had just been there had his back to her as he walked in the opposite direction she was heading and turned a corner.

She sighed in relief then found the room she needed to be in. As she entered three eyes landed on her.

Alex knew she needed to panic, she should panic but she didn't, she couldn't. They were just as surprised at her presence as she was. She quickly raised her paintball gun and fired shots repeatedly until all three people landed in a pile on the floor.

She smiled with pride before quickly tying them up and pulling a dummy grenade out of her holster pocket and setting it up between a chair and the door after locking it. She climbed on the table and wrote a quick letter. She threw it down between them. It would be a nice gift for when they woke up, and save her a lot of time.

She opened the ceiling door and entered the air vents. She had studied and memorised the blueprints but they still had no idea where exactly Lena would be, only assumptions and the fact that she could not trust the safety of the vents put her in a weakened position.

She stared down at the note she wrote and laughed before disappearing. She had less than 35 minutes before the other guy came back to check on the outside guard.

On it she wrote, "If you let anyone open that door then you are all dead. Sincerely, the bitch whose family you messed with."
