Hey everyone, this is a new chapter of my story!
Chapter 4:
Everything had gone as Margot had planned. Leviathan had brought the children of the future to their Earth, and then kidnapped William. Now she stood facing the young man held captive.
"We are delighted to have you with us, William, it's a real pleasure!"
"The pleasure is not shared," replied William. "I shouldn't even be there."
"And yet, there you are, you will have to accept it," replied Margot. "Let's talk now… From the beginning, humanity has been in bad shape. It only destroys itself. Violence, wars… It has become the bane of this planet. Today, they're ravaging this world more than ever. We must neutralize people who do not respect this planet."
William wondered where he had fallen. Obviously, he was stuck in a sect.
"That's horrible… but what does that have to do with me?"he asked.
"If we want to get rid of these people, we must first get rid of Supergirl, which only protects these abominations that destroy this planet. And you're going to help us defeat her."
The young man looked shocked.
"What?"
"Join us, William. Join Leviathan. Together, we'll become stronger than before, with your intellectual and your sense of honor."
"So this is a recruitment?"exclaimed William sarcastically. "Where I come from is more like a kidnapping. No offense, but your job interview is really sucks."
"Call that what you want, but we have to eradicate Supergirl, if we want to save this planet."
"And if I refuse? Are you going to kill me?"
Margot sneered before answering:
"We will not kill you, but your sister and your friend."
William lost his mocking air and looked worried.
"Miss Smoak and your friend are not here by accident. They are there to guarantee that you will do what you are asked to do. If you refuse to cooperate, your sister and your friend will very shortly be dead. An unfortunate accident. We are everywhere and everyone. You've no idea what resources we have. We've great allies by our side who can accomplish what we demand in no time. So, William, are you ready to cooperate or do you want your loved ones to die on your conscience?"
William glared at the old lady before retorting:
"What do you want from me?"
The next day, back at DEO, Supergirl and Mia came to see Brainy, who had just displayed a man's face on the screen in the control room. Connor and Alex stood near them.
"Were you able to identify one of the kidnappers?" asked the Kryptonian.
"Yes," replied the Coluan. "Fortunately, it is the only face I could find, it was not camouflaged enough, which allowed me to trace…"
"Brainy, please, get on with it," insisted Supergirl.
"Yes, his name is Gregory Spielman, a former employee of L-Corp, now unemployed for more than six months. No income, no money flowing into your account, rather strange…"
"I remember him," Mia replied, "He was at the internet cafe with us on the terrace."
"And where can we find it?" Connor asked.
"No addresses registered in National City," replied Brainy. "His entire family lives in Coast City."
"How are we going to find him?"asked Mia, frustrated at being at an impasse.
"You say he worked at L-Corp," said Supergirl. "I know where to go to find him."
"We're coming with you, Supergirl!" Connor offered.
Mia had nodded and stood near the Kryptonian.
"I was going to suggest it to you," replied Supergirl with a smile.
"How are we going to get there?"asked Mia.
"I hope you are not afraid of heights?" asked the Girl of Steel maliciously.
"I must have jumped from a gigantic exploding wall," replied the young archer. "So the heights don't scare me."
In the L-Corp building, Lena Luthor was working at her desk when a wind brushed past her. She turned to see Supergirl landing on the balcony, in the company of a young black man and a blonde girl.
The two young people looked around.
"Wow! I flew with Supergirl, that was really amazing!"exclaimed the young man, ecstatic.
"This is it?" replied the Kryptonian, a smile on her lips.
"That was really cool, I admit it," added the young blonde, shocked.
Lena got up from her desk and went to greet the newcomers from the balcony.
"Supergirl, what is this pleasure worth to me?" exclaimed she. "Who are your new friends?"
Supergirl made the presentations:
"Lena meet people from another Earth, Mia and Connor. (She pointed to Lena.) Mia, Connor this is Lena Luthor, my friend, she knows my secret, we trust each other."
"Miss Luthor, nice to meet you," said Connor, raising his hand.
Lena immediately squeezed it, and held out her hand to Mia, who looked at her curiously, before shaking her hand. The young archer looked at the dark woman. Lena looked smiling and friendly, but Mia couldn't help but notice that there was something forced in her eyes. As if she pretends to be kind. It hid something, but the young archer just shook Lena's hand without saying anything.
"Pleased to meet you, Mia, "replied the Luthor before turning to the Kryptonian. "So, Kara, what brings you to my office with… your new friends?"
"We are looking for Mia's brother. His name is William and he was kidnapped here in National City," explained Supergirl.
"This is dreadful," exclaimed Lena with a troubled look. "What can I help you?"
"DEO was able to identify one of the kidnappers as someone who worked at L-Corp. A man named Gregory Spielman. He is believed to be involved in the kidnapping."
Lena nodded.
"Spielman… yeah, yeah, I see who it is. It was even me who fired him six months ago. I caught him stealing technical equipment from L-Corp. He never spit out why. So I immediately kicked him out."
"And you would know where we can find him?" Mia asked, still watching the Luthor with a suspicious look.
"Yes, I was curious as to why he was looking to steal my tools, so I tracked him down with a snitch, hoping he would do something that would betray him,"Lena replied, returning to her desk.
She looked at a map of the city on her computer and found a red dot.
"I just located it, its beacon emits on the roof of a building where there is an airstrip. It looks like Spielman is trying to run away. His whole family lives in Coast City, and he hasn't had any contact with them for months, I checked. The building is located just east of L-Corp. It's not far."
"Can you send us the address?" asked Supergirl.
"Off course, I hope you find your friend William," hastened to answer Lena.
Her way of speaking was strange to Mia. She wondered if the woman was not acting. But her brother William had problems, it was her priority for the moment.
On the roof of a building where a helicopter was standing, Gregory Spielman, dressed in a magnificent black suit, was striding towards the girodyne with a heavy suitcase.
As he was about to open the door, a wind brushed against him.
"Are you going on a trip, Mr. Spielman?" said a female voice behind him.
The man turned and discovered Supergirl with Mia and Connor who were standing right in front of him. Immediately, he seemed frightened at their sight.
"Supergirl…" he replied, uncomfortable. "Sorry, but I don't have time for you. I am in a hurry. Business trip."
"A business trip, really?" replied the Kryptonian, advancing towards him. "It's strange, I thought I heard that you were unemployed. Your briefcase contains a lot of cash and you have a magnificent Rolex at $ 17 million on your handle. Where did you get all this, if you have no more work?"
Spielman walked towards the helicopter ignoring his interlocutors.
"Excuse me, but I have to go see my family! My mother is sick!" he replied in a trembling voice.
He wanted to open the helicopter door, but Supergirl put his hand on the device, preventing Spielman from boarding.
"Don't think that we are stupid," she replied in a firm voice. "Your mother is doing very well, and we know from a reliable source that you have not had contact with your family for months."
He then looked at Mia and Connor who were blocking his way, looking at him with dark looks.
"Do you remember me?" Mia asked him sternly. "Because I remember you very well. You were with us on the terrace in the cybercafe yesterday. I never forget a face."
"I remember you too," Connor replied with an icy look.
"We have pictures of you kidnapping a young man with accomplices," said Supergirl. "Pictures that may well interest the police. If you don't want to end up in jail for kidnapping, I advise you to tell us everything you know."
" Where's William?" Mia ask immediately drew her bow with an arrow. "Where did you take him?"
"Answer the question," ordered the Kryptonian, her hand still on the helicopter.
"I remember you two," Spielman replied to Mia and Connor in a voice trembling with fear. "But I can't tell you anything. They'll kill me if I speak to you."
"Who are "they"?" Mia asked in a voice full of rage. "Who are you talking about?"
"Why are you running away?" added Supergirl.
"I want to escape Leviathan?" cried the man, completely panicked.
Supergirl, Mia and Connor looked confused at the mention of this name.
"What is that, Leviathan?" asked Mia the Kryptonian way.
But she was just shrugged, as confused as she was.
"Leviathan?" she asked.
"This your worst nightmare!" added Spielman, terrified. "They said they would go after my family if I told you about them. Now that they have your brother, they're not going to release him anytime soon. So advice, run away! You've no idea what they are able of! They are much more dangerous than you imagine!"
Mia brought her bow and arrow close to the man's face.
"Do you want me to show you what I'm able of?" she growled furiously. "Where is my brother?"
It was then that Supergirl heard, with her super-hearing, several hums approaching them. Looking up, she saw three drones in the sky and fly in their direction. The Kryptonian saw several drone cannons deploy and prepare to fire.
"MIA, CONNOR, ON THE GROUND, NOW!"she yelled.
The two youngsters immediately dove to the ground, while Supergirl used her red cape to repel drone fire. While protecting the children of the future, the Kryptonian used her heat vision and destroyed the drones.
Spielman looked terrorized again.
"That's Leviathan! They send these drones to kill me!"
New flying devices appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the people on the roof.
"Supergirl… you have hello from Leviathan…"a metallic voice resounded from one of the drones.
Immediately, a flying device sent out a greenish ray which touched Supergirl, throwing it on the ground, screaming in pain.
"Supergirl!" cried Connor.
Jumping up, Mia drew her bow and shot several explosive arrows, destroying all the drones.
Once the infernal flying machines disintegrated, Mia ran towards the Kryptonian, who was on the ground.
"Supergirl, are you okay?"she said, worried.
The kryptonian moaned in pain as she tried to get up.
"I was hit with kryptonite," she replied in a voice full of pain.
Taking advantage of this respite, Spielman wanted to join his helicopter, but Mia shot him an arrow, immediately a lasso wrapped around his body, immobilizing him on the ground.
"You stay here!" said the archer in a harsh voice.
"You don't understand!"cried the captive man. "Leviathan wants to kill me! I must leave this city as soon as possible!"
Ignoring the man's lamentations, Mia and Connor helped Supergirl to stand up. The Kryptonian was very pale.
"What can we do?" intervened Mia, worried.
"We have to… go to DEO... regenerate myself under my sunlamps," she said in a weak voice.
"Guys, we've company!"cried Connor.
That was then that a dozen strange aliens came to invade the roof of the building. The creatures rushed towards our heroes with a sinister roar. With terror, Supergirl recognized the monsters.
"Dominators, I hate these damn things," she replied.
Lightning fast, Mia drew her bow and attacked the creatures with her arrows, while Connor fought the Dominators with his stun batons.
All her life, Mia had been trained in fight, but never had she been prepared to fight aliens, especially since these were very strong. The young archer did everything to repel them, but other Dominators came to join the fight. Even Connor was overwhelmed by the number of aliens. Supergirl struggled to face the Dominators, but, still weakened by kryptonite, found it difficult to repel them with her superpowers.
All three had no choice but to retreat.
"There's too many of them!" Connor yelled, pushing away a Dominator with one of his batons.
Mia attacked the monsters with her arrows, and ended up fighting them with her bare hands. She was knocked down by a Dominator, who dominated her with a roar. The archer glared at it. The Dominator was about to kill the girl, when a green arrow landed right in his head.
Surprised, Mia turned her head… and saw Green Arrow jump on the roof, shooting arrows with his bow at the Dominators, pushing them away. Behind him, Spartan appeared and shot the aliens with his guns.
"Dad?" cried Mia, dumbfounded.
Supergirl also turned her head and saw Green Arrow and Spartan face the Dominators.
"Oliver?"she said, surprised.
The archer and his companion managed to repel the invaders with their respective weapons. In a final effort, Supergirl managed to get up, and clapped her hands, creating a shock wave, knocking out all the aliens.
The last Dominators eventually fled. Once cleared of the monsters, Connor came to help Supergirl to get up. Green Arrow and Spartan removed their masks, put away their weapons and came to meet them.
"Oliver, I'm glad to see you," replied Supergirl, still weakened by kryptonite. "Welcome to National City."
Green Arrow, who had the face of Oliver Queen, addressed a friendly signal to Kara before turning to her daughter, who was stunned.
"I'm glad to have found you," he replied.
Even Connor was surprised by the arrival of the heroes of Earth – 1.
"Dad?" he exclaimed, looking at John Diggle.
"Hello Connor," he replied.
"How did you find us?" exclaimed Mia, shocked by the arrival of her father.
Oliver shrugged, sighing before answering:
"It wasn't easy. William, Connor and you disappeared from the bunker. We searched you all over Star City for hours before realizing that you were no longer on our Earth. I remembered that William was working on the machine, the Cisco thing... what's that called? ..."
"An extrapolator," replied Supergirl.
"That's right, then we went to Star Labs, and Cisco was able to locate you on Earth – 38. (He got out of his Arrow suit and took out an intact extrapolator.) He lent us that for that we can come here."
"Fortunately we didn't land very far," added Dig. "Otherwise, we couldn't have found you on this roof."
Mia and Connor were somewhat relieved to find their fathers on Earth – 38. Even Supergirl.
"We found you, that's the most important thing," added John.
"But by the way, where's William?"asked Oliver, surprised not to see his future son with them.
Mia and Connor looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing what to answer. Even the Kryptonian was speechless. Judging by their defeated faces, Oliver realized that something had happened to William.
"What happened ? Where's William? Where is my son?"
"We have to go back to DEO, I have to… lie down under my sunlamps," replied Supergirl, in a weak voice.
Further up in the sky, a drone was watching them.
In Leviathan's headquarters, Margot could see on a screen, the image reflected by her camouflaged drone. She had witnessed the battle on the roof of the building and was frustrated by the presence of other individuals from Earth – 1.
"That is very unfortunate," replied the old lady. "We'll have to deal with these newcomers."
