Chapter 20
Kara reached out to Luke who told her that Kate had returned to the BatCave. Alice had been dropped at the Crows front door, which had surprised the Maiden of Might, given what her friend's psychopathic twin knew. Still, it wasn't like she could bring Alice back to the BatCave.
"You ok? I heard things got hairy," Kate asked as she was busy hanging her suit back up on its holder, while Kara landed near Luke, Mary, and the Bat Computer, having come in the way the Bat Cycle usually would.
"They did get hairy. I helped Sophie and the other Crows out. I have concerns though. These guys were awfully calm – like special forces or…"
"League of Assassins," Luke interrupted.
"Yes, if they hadn't been disbanded. I think you guys would have like Nyssa. I hear she is quite the character," Kara smirked.
"Nyssa?" Mary asked.
"Nyssa al Ghul, Heiress to the Demon. Not one to screw with to be sure. A friend of Oliver's and more than a friend to Sara Lance," the blonde chuckled a little, knowing that had Nyssa found out about Alex's little one night stand with Sara, things would have gotten really interesting.
"Paragon of Destiny, Sara Lance?" Kate's eyes went wide as she approached the group.
"That would be she," Kara chuckled again.
"Damn," Kate shook her head. Luke and Mary were completely confused, their memories did not include the events of Crisis.
"All right well you'll have to fill us in later. What about our current problem?" Luke wanted to know.
"Well technically, it brings us to our current problem – while the League may not be in existence, I've run across these guys before," Kate said before going to the computer and punching a few keys. Then on the large screen popped up a group of people dressed much like the bad guys they'd run into tonight.
"You have?" Kara was confused.
"Yes, I wouldn't have realized it was them until they started speaking that foreign language. They come from a place called Coryana, it's in the Mediterranean Sea, not far from Malta. A lawless place full of pirates and crime. There is a little organization that spends most of its time there called The Many Arms of Death. These guys are terrorists that specialize in illegal weapons. Why would they want Alice dead? Or Tommy Elliot for that matter? I mean obviously, they came in and killed a bunch of Alice's guys and Tommy is completely in the wind," Kate frowned.
"Meet up with these guys on your worldly travels?" Mary asked.
"It gets worse. I know their leader," her step-sister said.
"You do? How?" Luke raised an eyebrow. Kate punched a few more buttons on the computer and up came a picture of a woman with olive skin and long dark hair.
"She used to call Turkey home, now she runs with these guys and keeps the island of Coryana running smoothly. Her name is Safiyah Sohail and she sucked Julia Pennyworth into her sick little game. Kara, this is one that I need to handle in house. I think it's time for you to head back to National City," Kate suddenly said.
"Uh what?" It was Kara's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"You don't need these crazies coming to National City," the brunette turned and headed for the elevator. Kara looked at Luke and Mary. They both seemed as confused as she was. Quickly, the Kryptonian took off after her friend. Kate had some explaining to do.
