Hey everyone, there is a new chapter. Good reading. Keep safe from this virus.

Chapter 2:

It had been over an hour since Alex had been walking through the desert, passing between some vegetation. She had no GPS, so no idea where she was. After a very long walk, she finally sees a long road. For the first time since she was here, she was finally smiling. This alley had to lead to a town. Once there, she could find out where she was, and perhaps manage to contact her sister. If she was nearby.

These thoughts were interrupted when she heard the hum of an engine. Down the hill where she was, Alex caught sight of a patrol car with a red dome on the roof going down the road. That was her chance. The young woman ran along the hill to reach the road. She was going to stop them and ask them for help.

When she was at the bottom of the hill, she stopped running. On the road were three people in very strange dark clothes. Two men and a woman. All three were motionless on the road. The patrol car stopped, ringing the police siren. Alex noticed that it was a car belonging to the local sheriff.

Intrigued, the young woman contemplated the scene before her eyes. She saw the man who must have been the local sheriff, sticking his head out of the window of his door.

"Hey, y'all get your butts outta the road!"he ordered dryly.

Alex looked surprised to see that none of the three people moved from the road. They looked at the police car with little interest. The man in the center, arms behind his back, took a few steps towards the vehicle, observing the dome over the car which glistened with a reddish color.

"I like the globe that flashes red like our Krypton sun. But not this irritating noise."

Did Alex hear right? Did this man just mention Krypton? So these three were from Krypton, her sister's home planet! Kryptonians! Alex was shocked! Where did these people from Krypton come from? What were they doing on Earth? And judging by the way they acted, they didn't seem friendly. As a precaution, Alex stooped and hid behind a bush, making sure to stay out of sight, wanting to avoid attracting the attention of the three Kryptonians.

"Make way!"ordered the Kryptonian in a firm and imperious voice.

Alex then heard the sheriff grumble in rage:

"Did I hear right? Did that summabitch give me an order?!"

Then he ordered the driver of the car to go settle their account. Shortly thereafter, the DEO agent then saw a young police officer, who must have been the sheriff's deputy, got out of the vehicle, armed with a shotgun and came to meet the three Kryptonians.

With an unsteady step, he brandishes his weapon straight ahead of him.

"Awright, just what in the hell… "

It was then that the Kryptonian woman approached the policeman and curiously touched the badge on the front of the deputy's shirt.

"What is this symbol? Do you follow another leader?"she asked, touching the golden star on the badge.

"Follow the leader… ?"exclaimed the outraged policeman.

Completely ignoring the sheriff's deputy, the Kryptonian snatched the badge and pinned it on herself, all delighted.

"Holeee skunk sweat!"exclaimed the assistant, brandishing his shotgun.

He pointed his gun at the three people. But none of the three reacted to the sight of the weapon pointed at them. The kryptonian in the center then looked at it with curiosity.

"A weapon of some sort?" he said in a neutral voice.

Alex was anxious. If these three came from Krypton, it was not a shotgun that would stop them. If, as she thought, these Kryptonians were hostile, this situation would quickly turn into drama.

As the Kryptonian stared at the shotgun, the weapon went out of the deputy's hands and levitated in the air. Directed by the eyes of extraterrestrial man, it floated slowly in the air and moves towards the kryptonian, presenting the cannon first.

"How in hell did you do that?" exclaimed the policeman, stunned.

The sheriff, who had stayed in the car, was now paralyzed with fear, and dared not say a single word.

The barrel of the rifle aimed at his chest, the Kryptonian, with an impartial and scientific curiosity, grabbed the weapon with one hand and reached out for the trigger with the other. He pulled the trigger. The blow went off, rumbling like a thunderclap.

The second Kryptonian man who was the tallest, then looked at the rifle, surprised by the explosion, reacting like a child who discovered a firecracker for the first time.

On the kryptonian who held the rifle, the shot had had no effect on him. His chest was intact. No injuries, as if nothing had been done to him.

The sheriff and his deputy were both impressed, incredulous and terrified. The sheriff lowered himself under the dashboard, wanting to be very small, fearing the worst.

"Jesus H. Christ!"exclaimed the dumbfounded and terrified deputy.

The kryptonian watched the weapon, like a scientist.

"Crude noise-maker. . . " he said, throwing the gun to the ground, which rolled under the car.

The great Kryptonian was fascinated by the weapon and the detonation noise he had made. He wanted to try it. He walked towards the police vehicle. He grabbed the chassis of the car and lifted it with one hand, as if it weighed nothing at all. The sheriff, terrorized, was thrown against the door. With a groan of satisfaction, he retrieved the weapon, dropping the car. The sheriff, inside, bounces from his seat on the side of the door. The great Kryptonian, proud, pointed the barrel of the rifle towards his head and pulled the trigger, but no detonation came. He pulled the trigger several times, but made no fire.

Disappointed, he threw the rifle to the ground, and then headed for the patrol car, distracted by another toy. He snatched the red dome from the roof of the vehicle with a sharp blow, causing sparks. He handed it to the other Kryptonian as an offering. But the kryptonian, completely indifferent, turned away.

Shocked by what she saw, Alex realized the dangerous situation she was in. Obviously, these kryptonians had just arrived on Earth, and discovered it. Where could they have come from? Astra and Non were dead, there should be no more kryptonians… unless Alex was on another Earth in the Multiverse… and if this vortex had taken her to another universe where there were still kryptonians?

Her thoughts were interrupted when the woman addressed her chief:

"We are not alone. Someone is watching us. I can hear her with my new powers."

A shiver ran through Alex's body. She knew that Kryptonians had very fine hearing, and could hear for miles. She absolutely didn't want to be founded by these three aliens. She lay down on the ground, without making the slightest noise, and holding her breath. She stopped breathing for a moment, wanting to prevent a noise from betraying her. But she also knew that Kryptonians could also hear her heartbeat. She was going to be discovered.

It was then that a hand grabbed her by her uniform, and Alex felt herself lifted in the air, then was thrown away. She fell close to the patrol vehicle. Before she could make a gesture, the great Kryptonian grabbed her and threw her on the hood of the car. While Alex was on the lifting part of the car, she saw the great Kryptonian looking at her as if she were a curious beast. He threw his fist in the air, as if to hit her…

"Leave her!" sharply ordered the leader of the Kryptonians.

He approached Alex, looking at her with an expressionless look. Not knowing who she was dealing with, and knowing that she had no chance of fighting back or running away from her Kryptonian attackers, Alex remained motionless, lying on the hood of the car, without saying a word.

"Why were you spying on us, woman of Houston?"asked the Kryptonian.

Alex was so shocked to have hostile Kryptonians in front of her that she found it hard to find her words. Then managed to keep a natural tone.

"Well, I... I wasn't trying to spy on you. It was not voluntary. Actually… I wanted to ask the sheriff where I am. Because… that seems hard to believe and hard to explain… but I got lost. I don't know everything about this backwoods, it is obvious that I'm far from my house, very far even. And I have no idea where I am."

She raised her head slightly, as if to address a passenger in the police car.

"Sheriff, can you tell me where we are? Please?"

But the sheriff seemed to have become mute. So frozen in fear and disbelief, he looked at the three individuals without moving a muscle. The deputy, who was still outside the car, managed to answer, terrorized too:

"We are… in Idaho… a kilometer from here… there is the city of East Huston…"

Now Alex knew where she was geographically. Even if in this situation, it didn't help much.

"Just great, Idaho. It's very far from home."

The three Kryptonians were staring at her. Then the alien woman glanced at the agent's holster.

"What is that? A weapon of some sort, too."

With a sharp gesture, she snatched the pistol which was on Alex, and passed it to her chief, who looked at him in the same way as with the rifle. He looked like a scientist examining a discovery.

"Fascinating! On this planet, weapons of all sizes are made there," he declared without much interest while holding the weapon with his two hands.

The great Kryptonian now had his eyes fixed on the pistol. The chief immediately passed the gun to him. And the great Kryptonian looked at the revolver, like a child playing with a toy. He fired several detonations with it. He pulled in all directions, very happy. The deputy lowered himself to the ground, avoiding the bullets, while Alex looked at him in fear.

"Be careful, that's not a toy!"she exclaimed, alarmed.

The chief sighed in annoyance and then called back his companion:

"Non, that's enough! This noise irritates me!"

Disappointed, the man named Non lowered the pistol, like a child deprived of his toy. Alex's eyes widened at the mention of the name. This tall bearded Kryptonian was called Non? He was nothing like the Non she had known and fought a few years earlier. Which meant that she was on a different Earth from hers. Had Kara landed here, too?

"Why do you have a weapon, woman of Houston?" asked the chief.

Alex looked nervous, looking for a way to prevent it from turning into murder. Because it was obvious that the Kryptonian chief in front of her, would not hesitate to murderer her savagely.

"I have a weapon… to defend myself… I… am a kind of agent… I fight against people stronger than me!"

"So you're a warrior," said the Kryptonian.

"You might say that," replied Alex, still wondering about the intentions of her enemies.

The Kryptonian seemed satisfied with his answer. He was silent before declaring to his followers.

"Non, Ursa. If we are to reign on this planet, we must know its customs. And that is why this female will be our guide. So we'll not harm her. She'll serve us."

Alex was taken aback. She expected everything except that! She was on an unknown Earth in the Multiverse, and now she had to play the guides to hostile Kryptonians! What irony! Well… as long as it saved her from certain death, it suited her. So the two Kryptonians were called Non and Ursa. She was starting to get an idea of her captors.

She smiles, pretending to be happy.

"That's great. And could I know who should I serve?"

The Kryptonian landed before her, as if he wanted to submit her to his will.

"I am General Zod. I'm from Krypton."

General Zod? This is a joke!

Under her smile of false joy, Alex was well terrorized. A shiver ran through her entire spine. General Zod? The worst Kryptonian that can exist in the entire Galaxy? She had heard of Zod, but had never seen him in person. When Kara wasn't yet Supergirl, Superman faced him in a grand fight and defeated him. Obviously, she was on Earth where Zod had not been defeated by her sister's cousin. Or not yet. During her childhood, Kara had told her stories about Krypton, including many about General Zod. A ruthless Kryptonian who dreamed only of power, reign and lust, who had not hesitated to massacre innocent people, including women and children to achieve his ends. She remembered that even Kara, when she was a child on Krypton, was even afraid of him.

Alex was therefore in a dangerous situation, of which she wasn't at all prepared. She cursed the alien who had projected her into this world. She would give to be anywhere, but away from these merciless Kryptonians.

Despite her fright, she knew how to keep her cool, and kept her smile of false joy.

"General Zod, then! I am at your service!"

At least, temporarily, she hoped.

You kidding me!

"With the help of our guide, we'll quickly take over the planet Houston," said Zod. "We will be masters, lords… gods… what we have been deprived of on Krypton."

"Then, let's go conquer the planet Houston," added Ursa.

"Earth," Alex corrected. "Our planet is called Earth. Not Houston, Earth."

Zod looked at Alex with an expressionless face. Then he grabbed her by the arm, lifting her from the hood of the car.

"Non, watch our guest and make sure she doesn't run away. (He addressed Alex.) If you try to escape, Non will charge you for your disobedience. I will become master of this world. I order and you obey me."

Confused by all these emotions and these blatant discoveries, Alex nodded, knowing that she had no choice.

"Noted, General!"she replied, smiling falsely.

And she looked at Non, who gave her a growling look, like an unfriendly watchdog. Alex chuckled in fright, before giving him a fake smile.

She prayed in her head that Kara be on the same Earth as her. Because she saw no escape. She had no kryptonite weapons. She was totally defenseless against these three Kryptonian monsters.

Many miles away, Supergirl continued to fly in the air, flying over the cities, looking for Alex, thinking that she had landed not far from her position. But however much she concentrated with her superhearing, nothing sent Alex back. Her sister must therefore have been elsewhere.

She had discovered that she was on Earth where there was no Supergirl.

Knowing that her flight trips didn't help her find Alex, Kara eventually landed, and resumed her usual clothes in her Kryptonian suit. She was in a small town in Colorado. To her surprise, she saw old models of cars driving around her. Even the dwellings were dated. For a moment, she wondered if she really was in the past. Walking in the guise of Kara Danvers, she saw a newsagent. She then looked at the date on the first page and was amazed when she read: December 04, 1980.

So therefore, she was on a different Earth from hers, but with more, in a time of the past. 1980. A time when there wasn't yet the Internet, and therefore no cell phones. Which would complicate her task of finding Alex. How it could all have happened.

Kara then found a library. She had gone there to visit the news section and had learned a lot. Nowhere did she see a mention of National City. Which meant that her city didn't exist on this Earth. But on the other hand, there were cities like Smallville and Metropolis. There was even a Daily Planet. So, if Superman existed, there had to be a Clark Kent who worked for the town newspaper, and maybe even a Lois Lane. Her suspicions were well-founded when Kara discovered press articles about Superman, all written by Lois Lane. So Lois also existed on this Earth. She seemed nostalgic while reading the articles, because they were similar to those which had been written on her cousin, on her Earth – 38. She wondered then if there was a Kara Zor-El on this version of her universe. If Supergirl didn't exist here, it could be that the version of its cousin of this Earth had not yet met its Kara. Then an idea occurred to her, what if there was a family called Danvers on this Earth? It was in 1980. Alex was not yet to be born at that time. What if there was a DEO? So many unanswered questions that were of no use to her.

Her face defeated, she ends up going to a small restaurant. She ordered a coffee at the counter. She was going to take some rest before leaving in search of her sister. But how do you find her? Good question.

Alex, where are you?

Alex Danvers was in a completely surreal situation. She found herself in spite of herself between the clutches of Zod and his henchmen. They had forcibly taken her with them. During her forced journey, Alex had been able to analyze the language, as well as the bodily expressions of her captors.

Zod was exactly as her sister Kara had described him in her youth. He had the whole picture of an egotistical tyrant who had no pity for anyone, ready to kill anyone standing in his way. The slightest annoyance would prompt him to commit a malicious act. He would be the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in Kryptonian version.

Ursa, a cold woman without heart or respect for others, except for her leader. According to Alex's analysis, she didn't seem to like men very much, except Zod. And she devoted him to unfailing devotion and blind obedience. Alex had noticed that Ursa seemed to have a fetish for badges, because in addition to the badge of the deputy of the sheriff whom she had torn off, her outfit had two other badges. One from NASA, another from a Russian space station. Alex therefore assumed that the three Kryptonians must have met astronauts before landing on Earth. Which explained the confusion about the name of Houston instead of Earth. She hardly dared imagine the fate they had reserved for the astronauts.

And finally, Non, (Alex was still shocked by the version of Non on this Earth which had a completely different personality from the one she had fought) her "babysitter" not very tender, nor delicate towards her. Or even very talkative, when he opened his mouth, it was to growl like an angry dog. If she had to describe him, she would say that he was a mixture of immature child with a wild and brutal animal side. His behavior was reminiscent of a small child who discovered the world. He had kept the siren light which he had torn from the roof of the police car and used it as a toy. Like Ursa, he had a blind obedience to Zod. Alex was already imagining Kara's reaction if she encountered this version of Non.

The Kryptonians therefore took her to a small town in Idaho called East Huston. They were on the main street of the small town. Alex could see a general store, and next to it, a billboard. Next to that, a small post office, with a flagpole where the American flag was hung. Next door is a saloon. On its roof were sophisticated TV antennas used in small, distant cities like this to provide a decent picture for television. Further on was a wooden building which could be a garage or an old barn.

Alex was amazed to see all these buildings with these devices that seemed old, and wondered if she had not taken a step back in time. Not only she was it on a strange Earth, but she was also in the past. And with the old car models she could see, there was no doubts. She was no longer in the 21st century. She assumed that she was in an era when digital technology was not yet fully developed.

Zod and Ursa therefore left to enter the saloon, while Non waited outside with Alex, who was reluctant to the idea that the inhabitants of the city saw her in him company. They were very close to a van parked in front of the saloon loaded with crates of turkeys. Non was playing with the red dome of the police car, with his childish curiosity, while Alex was standing right next to him, looking at him with pity.

A twelve year old boy walked in their direction, while reading a comic book, when he came straight to Non. The boy dropped his comic book, and his jaw dropped at the sight of the awkward Kryptonian. Afraid that Non would take on this child, Alex gave the boy a fleeting look.

"Leave, kid! Now!"

Much to her relief, Non turned away from the child. He fixed his gaze on the van. He concentrated on the open wooden tailgate of the vehicle. He narrowed his eyes, imitating Zod, and groaned with effort.

A weak and pitiful beam of heat vision finally emanated from his eyes. He hit the tailgate and created a small point of combustion. Non growled in satisfaction, pleased with his success.

Alex had to suppress a laugh, so much that she found the Kryptonian ridiculous. She remembered that Kara, very young on Earth, was already able to burn an entire tree with her heat vision. Obviously, Non still hadn't mastered her powers well enough, which could benefit Supergirl if she intervened to attack him.

Zod and Ursa had entered the saloon, and discovered the interior with indifference and little interest in the customers. They saw two men on a table, with beers playing a game of arm wrestling. After considerable effort, one forced the other's arm on the table.

The winner left the table with his beer can. It was then that the customers noticed the presence of the Kryptonians and observed them with curiosity.

"Oh my God! The circus is in town!" exclaimed a man with a cap.

The man at the table then called Ursa, tapping on his knees:

"Hey, sweet thing! Set those buns down here!"

And he laughed. With total indifference, Ursa settled down in front of him, her elbow on the table, her open hand, ready to start the fight, which amused the man.

"Let's just hold hands."said the Kryptonian in a neutral and uninteresting tone.

Wanting to take on the challenge, the man giggled and raised his arm toward the woman's.

"Don't wanna spoil your manicure now."

He engulfed his hand in her, but not even a second, Ursa lowered her arm, taking him across the table, tearing it down in two, and the man found himself on the ground.

Zod sighed as if it bothered him.

As she waited outside with Non, Alex saw the patrol car park a few yards from them. The DEO agent then recognized the police car which had been unlucky enough to meet Zod and his henchmen. When the two policemen got out, Alex noticed that the sheriff's uniform was in tatters, his face bruised and dirty, while the deputy was recovering from his emotions.

The young boy, who had just met Alex and Non, went to the two representatives of the law, with curiosity.

"Sheriff, what happened?"he asked.

"Willie, you ain't never gonna believe what just happened to me!" exclaimed the sheriff, still reeling from what he had witnessed.

In the saloon, the friend of the man on the floor, walked towards Ursa with rage, rolling up his sleeves. The Kryptonian looked at the guy with a sly look.

"Girl or no girl, you are gonna be spittin' teeth!" grunted the big, strong man, ready to knock.

Zod walked past the man and gave him a tiny push.

The effect was remarkable, because this light touch sent the strong guy crashing through the wall, shining it like paper.

While the sheriff was trying to tell the young Willie what had happened outside the city, the big beefy saloon rushed out through the wall, flew hard as he crossed the truck of turkeys, scrambled with the other side in a storm of feathers and landed at the feet of the sheriff, who looked terrified again.

"What the sam hill?"he exclaimed, horrified.

Alex winced at the sight of the man who was moaning on the ground, after crossing a wall and a pickup truck.

Zod and Ursa left the building, and entered the street where Non, holding Alex firmly by the arm, joined them.

"I can walk, no need to twist my arm, you brute!"moaned Alex, feeling the handle of Non her very badly at her member.

Now all the passers-by were staring at the new arrivals, realizing how unfriendly they were.

A few yards from the Kryptonians, a man threatened them with a shotgun.

"Awright, get 'em up, keep 'em up!"he ordered, brandishing his rifle.

Alex feared Zod's reaction. The General looked at the man with disdain.

"These humans are beginning to annoy me." he retorted.

A beam of intense light suddenly springs from Zod's forefinger, across the street, the inhabitants curled up. When he struck the armed man, he crossed his body like an electric charge, dropping his weapon and levitating it nine meters in the air.

The crowd gasped in horror. The man was suspended in the air, terrified. The beam of light had a strong hold on him.

Everyone was panicking. Frightened Willie ran towards the Kryptonian tyrant.

"Please, Mister…" he begged.

"He's a General," Ursa corrected coldy.

"Please, Mister General! Please let my daddy down!" cried the young boy.

Despite her helplessness, Alex couldn't accept watching a poor man die without reacting. She took advantage that Non had released her, to run towards Zod.

"General! General! You've no reason to kill this man. You have great powers. You're indestructible, no weapon on Earth can kill you. Not even this man. No one has to die, today. No one here can hurt you. So let him go!"

Zod turned to look at Alex. The young woman saw contempt and annoyance there. For a moment, she wondered if she is gone to far.

Finally, the General made the beam of light disappear. Suddenly, Willie's father fell from the sky like a sack of potatoes. He hit the ground with a thud.

Sighing in relief, Alex whispered to the child:

"Get out of here with your dad, now!"

Willie complied and ran to his father.

While Zod approached Alex with a dark look. The DEO agent stepped back, bumping into a car, while the General brought his face closer to her.

"Never dispute my orders again, the female! I order and you obey me!"

Alex nodded, anxious.

"Yes, General. Sorry, General!"

"I'm the one giving the orders!"

Ursa walked over and grabbed the DEO agent by the collar of her uniform.

"If you dare to disobey the General, I kill you, fragile little human!"

Zod motioned for the Kryptonian to release her with a wave of her hand.

"She got this, Ursa."

And they moved away, Alex took the opportunity to take some liberty. Before Non took her arm again, preventing her from going somewhere.

Horrified and incredulous, the citizens of East Huston gathered around Willie and his father. Some people had joined the sheriff who was overwhelmed by the events.

Kara, if you are on this Earth, I could some help!

Thank you for reading and reviewing.
