My mission was simple. I just had to disguise myself, get the information, and quickly get out. Brainy offered to accompany me, but I didn't want to be any closer to him then I had to be. He was so obsessed with saving the future that he was ruining everything in the present. He was hurting his friends in ways that might never be fixed.

The meeting was in a warehouse across town. So I flew around back and put on my disguise with a voice modulator. I was disguised as Henry Jeffries, so hopefully no one would suspect who was really under the disguise. I made my way in with ease and listened around. I couldn't look suspicious, but I needed answers.

I got talking with one gentleman who mentioned a virus that would be implemented in Obsidian Tech. While I walked around I got more details. This virus, when activated, would lock the person in the headset. They could do whatever they wanted, but time would pass very slowly there. So a day in there could be a week out here.

This would make them docile and out of the way. If any tried to leave a burst of electricity would go through the headset and kill them. Weeding out the humans who waste their lives with fake worlds.

Obsidian's updated products would be released late next week and the virus would already be in the code. Once I got what I needed, I hid around back and turned the image inducer off. This is when I called Lex. "Did you get what I needed, Carly?"

"Yes, I did." I looked around to make sure no one was listening. "They're planning to implement a virus onto Andrea's contacts to trap people inside. If they try to escape, it will kill them. Leviathan plan to have this in the code of Obsidian's newest batch on Friday next week."

"Excellent. Now get out of there before someone catches you."

The line went dead as I shoved my phone in my pocket. I jumped over the fence and began toward Lex's warehouse. As I was preparing to fly, someone slammed something metal into the back of my head. I stood frozen for a second before I went unconscious from the blow.

Kara and Alex lingered on the balcony. Kara was so distraught she didn't think she could breathe let alone move her limbs. Alex placed her hand on Kara's. "There's nothing you could have done, Kara."

"I was with Carly a mere hour before she was taken to Lex, Alex. I should've just taken her home with me. If I hadn't left, maybe Remus wouldn't have gotten her. Or if he tried, I would have been there to save her." Kara mumbled

Alex stated the truth. "Kara, you can't always be there to save the day. Sometimes bad things happen and we just have to move on with that. Just focus on finding her, don't feel guilty for not being there because I know I wouldn't want you to feel that way if I were Carly."

"It's just so screwed up that all this bad crap keeps happening to her." Kara whined. "I almost lost her three times since October. She has been through so much pain, I'm surprised Carly can get out of bed in the morning."

"Carly, gets out of bed for you." Alex said, Kara looking toward her. "She loves you and fights to stay strong so she can see you smile. You are everything to her and she will never blame any of this on you. We'll find her and you two will be reunited, I promise."

"I hope you're right..." Kara's phone buzzed with a new message. She wiped her eyes and double tapped the notification. She almost dropped the phone when she saw who it was from.

Alex noticed this sudden reaction and became even more worried. "What is it?"

"I just got a message from…" Kara looked from the phone to Alex. "Carly…"

Alex perked up. "What does it say?"

"Um, it says…" Kara began to read the message, "I managed to get my phone from Lex. He says it's too dangerous to leave and that we're going underground for god knows how long. I'm planning to make a run for it within the next half hour. Meet me at our special spot in the park. I love you, Kara."

Before Alex could say anything, Kara was across town. Alex could sense something was off with the message, but Kara was so desperate that she didn't really pay attention to the little slip of speech. Whenever Kara and I say I love you, it was always followed by forever and always. Now I could have just forgotten, but Alex knew better than that.

She came back into the room with a plan. "Nia, I need you to follow Kara. She's meeting "Carly" at the fountain in Lane's Park. I need you to follow her and make sure nothing fishy happens."

Deirdre raised a brow. "Why did you say Carly with quotations?"

"Kara got a text from Carly to meet, but I don't think it was Carly who wrote it. It sounded off and most of the time, my gut feelings are right. Just humor me. Please." Alex insisted

"Well, how am I supposed to get over there?" Nia asked with a shrug. "I can't fly."

"I'll take you over. Backup is always a good thing to have." J'onn agreed

J'onn picked Nia up and two followed Kara. The others got to work pinpointing Lex's location. They knew the warehouse shown in the video was long empty by now, so they had to be fast. If Lex went into hiding, they might not be able to find him in time.

I woke up to find myself strapped to a chair and with no surprise Gamemnae was leaning against the desk in front of me. When she noticed I was awake she approached with a smug smile. "I see Sleeping Beauty is finally awake."

I smugly smiled back. "Sleeping Beauty would have woken up faster if one of your goons didn't slam that folding chair into her head."

"You're a sassy little thing." She looked me up and down with approval. "I like that."

This is when I decided to tell on Lex because maybe Gamemnae could help me escape. "Look, I was sent here by Lex to investigate what you lot were up to. He doesn't trust you worth a damn and if you untie me I can help you get back at him."

She laughed aloud. "Oh dear child, you're so clueless. Lex sent you here so I could catch you. Keep you bound."

Then I really thought about it and I wanted to kick myself in the butt. It was clear as day this was a setup and I just walked right in. "Well, why did he want me captured? I was doing everything he asked."

"He thought you were going to get in the way." She walked around me and placed her hands on my shoulders, leaning in close to whisper in my ear. "When he kills Supergirl."

If my heart beat, it would have stopped dead in his tracks. "What do you mean kill Supergirl?"

"I mean he wants to remove her from the picture." She smiled. "Now that we're partners, Supergirl's in the way. We can't have her messing with our business."

I am such an idiot. I knew he was a dastardly man, but I thought maybe, just maybe, he would do one good thing in his life by getting rid of Leviathan. Now he was trying once again to kill a kryptonian.

"He's tried countless times to kill Kara. What makes you think he'll succeed this time?" I asked with fake confidence.

"Because the Kryptonian loves someone." Gamemnae maneuvered around the chair and placed her hands on the chair arms, leaning down to look me in the face. "She loves you. Which means she would trust you. She would let herself be alone with you."

"Lex wouldn't."

"He would and…" She pushed a button on the remote beside her. "He wants you to watch."

Gamemnae laughed aloud as she left me to watch the video on my own. The screen showed a first person view from Lex's shoulder. I could tell by the arms he was using an image inducer to pretend he was me. A voice modulator was added to the device to make his voice sound like me as well.

He was making his way to the fountain in the middle of this park across town. It was Kara and I's favorite spot. He arrived first and took a seat on the edge of the fountain. Kara appeared two minutes later and when she saw me she burst into tears.

I looked around the room for anything I could use to warn her, when I found my cellphone on the desk 10ft from my chair. I tried to use my heightened strength to snap the chains, but whatever they did to them made it impossible. I weebled and I wobbled until I fell on the floor.

When I hit the floor, one of the chair arms snapped off. I got my hand loose and untied myself from the chair. I quickly grabbed the phone and looked up to see Kara and I (Lex) hugging. I dialed Kara's number and hoped to God she brought her phone with her.

Kara hugged Lex tight against her. "Oh my god, are you alright? I should've been there for you. I should've noticed your pain sooner, I'm so sorry. You should never have had to go through that."

Lex used the acting experience he had attained over the years to pretend that he cared. "It's not your fault, Kara. Lex would have gotten me eventually. I don't blame you so please don't blame yourself."

Suddenly, Kara's phone began to buzz. She pulled back from the hug and quickly pressed talk. "Hello?"

"That's not me. Lex is using an image inducer, Kara. He's planning to kill you. Get out of there. Now!" I heard the door unlock to find Gamemnae coming toward me. "Kara, please get out of there."

Gamemnae grabbed the phone from my hands and crushed it in hers. "That was really stupid, Vamtronian."

I then decided I had to fight my way out. So I tried to throw a punch at Gamemnae, but she just caught it mid air and began twisting my hand the wrong direction. I gasped and fell to my knees. "You may be strong, but I have been around a whole lot longer, Vampy. You have no chance of escape, so sit back and watch the show.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet, putting me a chokehold so I had to watch what happened next. Kara looked from the phone toward Lex and noticed the buzzing from the image inducer. Her eyes went wide as my face (Lex) went sadistic. "Looks like Carly escaped her bonds. Silly girl just made everything so much harder than it had to be."

"Lex, take off that stupid disguise." Kara said with her anger building.

Lex obliged and the image of me was replaced by Lex himself. He smugly smiled toward Kara. "Nice to see you again, Supergirl."

"Lex haven't we done this before?" Kara asked. "You've tried to kill me more times than I can count and you've failed each and every time. What makes you think you'll succeed this time around?"

"Simply put...I'm not alone."

A shadowed figure appeared behind Kara and pulled out a blade of pure kryptonite. Before she could react, the blade was embedded in her back. I struggled against Gamemnae as Kara screamed. The shadowed figure broke the handle off so the blade was stuck in her back.

Her veins started to glow a neon green as she collapsed onto her knees. Lex approached and kneeled beside her. "The blade is pure kryptonite and is slowly poisoning you as we speak. Once the blade is removed the damage will cause you to be so weak you'll die. The only cure would be a super dose of yellow sun radiation which would be impossible on this planet."

She looked up at him with a pained expression. "Killing me is not going to solve anything, Lex. Someone will just take my place and stop you."

"Well, I'll come to that bridge when I get to it. For now, I'm content with killing you." Lex got to his feet and pushed Kara onto her back.

I stopped struggling against Gamemnae as I began to sob. J'onn and Nia appeared at that very moment. Nia saw the pain Kara was in and her anger boiled over. She shot a beam of power at the shadowed figure. She fell on her back and when she sat up her hood had fallen off.

Nia's hands fell with shock, disappointment, and anger. "Lena, how could you…"

Lena quickly got to her feet. "I'm sorry, but I need to get liabilities out of my way. Even if that means killing Supergirl. It's the only way."

"No, Lena. It's not the only way." J'onn slowly shook his head. "You're a monster…"

Lena cringed at J'onn's words, but did not falter. Lex and Lena disappeared from the scene as I saw Nia and J'onn running to Kara's side. Then the screen went black.

I decided escape was my only option. I extended my fangs and bit into Gamemnae's arm that was around my neck. She gasped and her breathing became labored. She tried to push me off, but at some point the pleasure overwhelmed her. I took just enough to make her legs become wobbly.

I lifted my mouth, quickly broke out of her grasp, and pushed her to the floor. I walked over to one of the windows and shattered the glass with my elbow. I was halfway out the window when I felt a hand grab my leg and throw me back in. Before I could see who grabbed me I was knocked unconscious.
