Victor Fries was minding his own business spearfishing in the Arctic waters when a Russian submarine breached the ice above. The cracking of the ice toppled Nora Fries' capsule shattering it. "Nora!" Victor shouted freaked out as ice nearly crushed him.

"Let's get this done quickly. It's cold as fuck out here," the Special Forces leader said to his men as they exited the submarine.

Victor tossed ice off himself and realized Nora's capsule had been compromised. The special liquid formula had kept Nora in suspended animation while Victor worked on a cure for her terminal illness. With the liquid formula drained out, Nora was now in danger of dying.

After an hour, the Special Forces team came back to the submarine only to find the entire crew frozen with terrified expressions on their faces. They had been forced out of the submarine without warm clothing and then instantly frozen.

"My God, it's the whole crew," the leader realized.

"Not quite," Victor said behind them and then froze them all instantly with his freeze gun.

Subzero

The Russian Northern fleet in the Black Sea was under attack. Gatling guns, cannons, and missile launchers automatically targeted the enemy. The cruisers, destroyers, and frigates surrounded the Admiral Kuznetsov as the enemy approached.

"One cruise missile approaching at Mach 5," an analyst reported.

"We don't have time to scramble fighters. We must rely on our air defense systems," the captain realized.

The Russian ships let loose all their firepower blasting the target with 30 mm fire and missiles. "Target hit," an analyst informed the captain.

"Target still approaching and has increased speed," another analyst said.

"Keep firing until the target is destroyed," the captain ordered.

Gunfire and missiles filled the air in rapid succession from all ships as the target was almost on them. Kara was hit several times with missiles while pounded with machine-gun fire. "Nice," she smiled as she felt the intense fire. She went past the smaller ships and approached the aircraft carrier landing on the deck. Alina was there to meet her.

"That was a rush," Kara said amused.

"Too bad there is only one of you," Alina said thoughtfully. "We must not only be able to counter a fast-moving target but multiple targets at the same time."

"Yeah...you should get on that," Kara smirked.

The captain came out to meet Alina and Kara. "We have lost contact with one of our submarines in the Arctic," he said grimly.

"Another one," Kara mocked.

"Show some respect, there are almost a hundred sailors on a typical submarine," Alina scolded.

"God damn," Kara said backing off.

"You were saying?" Alina asked the captain.

"We have no way of reaching them in time. It is critical we rescue these men," the captain pressed.

"Major-general Nikolai will say no," Alina frowned.

"He doesn't need to know, yet," the captain suggested.

Alina turned to Kara. "Private Snowball, you have a new mission."

"Finally, anything to get off this boat," Kara readily agreed.

Kara flew over to the Arctic near-instantly and dropped down where the submarine was supposed to be. Looking around with her X-ray vision, she came upon the submarine and its crew frozen outside. Realizing they were all dead, she crossed herself and went inside the submarine.

"I have found the submarine," Kara radioed in.

"What of the crew?" the other end asked.

"All dead," Kara reported.

"Find out who did this," the other-end demanded.

"With pleasure," Kara agreed.

Metropolis

At a dinner party, the rich and famous showed up in tuxedos and fancy dresses. A number of rich aliens were also present with facial inducers. The party was for some children's charity. DEO personnel was present to provide security including Director Alex Danvers. Each rich person was able to bring a guest with them. Mara brought her brother Kon and quickly regretted it. He was wearing a tux and looked very uncomfortable. He was also obnoxiously playing a game on his phone.

"Stop playing that stupid game. You're embarrassing me," Mara scolded.

"I don't give a shit what these rich guys think," Kon said dismissively.

"Neither do I, but we must play the part," Mara said obviously.

"Do we?" Kon questioned. "If I were rich, I would be building star-destroyers, pirate ships, and robots," Kon said immaturely.

Kon then went off and met up with Brainiac 5 and Nia. "Hey, who's the babe, Barney?" Kon asked.

"Excuse me?" Nia asked him.

"Ditch the robot. I'll show you a good time," Kon said to her.

"Kon, you misunderstand the situation," Brainiac 5 said patiently.

"Unlike Barney here, I actually have a pulse," Kon continued.

Nia whispered in his ear. "I have a dick."

Kon took a few seconds to compute that. "You know what? I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," he said walking off.

"Well done," Brainiac 5 complimented Nia.

Bruce Wayne walked up to Alex. "That haircut screams a challenge," he smiled.

"Mr. Wayne, I'm here for work, not pleasure," Alex replied.

"Why not both at the same time?" Bruce said knowingly. "It looks like your pet Supergirl has gone rogue."

"We are keeping tabs on her," Alex said seriously.

"I know someone you would be interested in. This is her card," Bruce said giving Alex the business card of Kate Kane.

"Thanks," Alex said not committing to anything.

"All I ask is that you send me a finder's fee when you two hook up," Bruce said.

"What would that be?" Alex asked playing along.

"Pics or didn't happen," Bruce grinned.

"You're a pig," Alex said scornfully.

"Actually, I'm a ba...," Bruce said and then stopped himself. Dick Grayson was already super-drunk and being overly complimentary to Gordon on his daughter. "I'm sorry. I have to go get my Dick," he excused himself.

Alex rolled her eyes and then the floor erupted as a glacier blasted through. Several rich folks were thrown into the air by the sudden explosion of ice. Mr. Freeze in his suit emerged from the hole and looked over the crowd. "Which one of you is Alex Danvers," Mr. Freeze demanded in an emotionless tone.

"Oh, shit," Alex realized.

The rich folks immediately pointed Alex out. "Thanks, guys," she said scornfully.

"You're coming with me dead or alive," Mr. Freeze said to her.

Alex took out a pistol and fired at Mr. Freeze. It merely bounced off his suit. Kon then charged him. Mr. Freeze froze him solid in a block of ice. Kon instantly blasted the ice off him as he went Super Insane. His tux was shredded and was then incinerated revealing his black Kryptonian suit underneath. "The heat is on," Kon smirked glowing bright and hot.

Mr. Freeze placed a grenade in the center of the room. "Make a move against me and everyone here dies," Mr. Freeze told him.

Kon ignored him and created an energy orb in his hand. "I'll go. Just let these people go," Alex offered herself.

"Come with me," Mr. Freeze took Alex by the hand.

Kon evaporated the energy sphere in his hand and walked outside the hall where he saw Mr. Freeze take Alex away in his metallic van. He knocked her out with his freeze gun and threw her into the van.

"Alex has a tracker. We'll wait for the right moment to get her back," Brainiac 5 said to Mara and Kon.

Alex woke up only to find Mr. Freeze watching her. "Holy shit," she said startled.

"Take these pills. I'm a doctor. You can trust me," Mr. Freeze said to her.

"How about no?" Alex refused.

Mr. Freeze grabbed her by the throat, rammed the pills down her throat, and made her swallow. "These will make you feel better."

"Why did you kidnap me?" Alex asked taking hold of Mr. Freeze. He easily beat her down to the floor with his armored suit.

"You will know soon enough," Mr. Freeze told her.

"I have a tracker on my body. You're fucked," Alex said to him.

"This tracker?" Mr. Freeze asked holding the broken piece of hardware. I took it off your body after the first checkpoint. Your friends won't be finding you anytime soon."

"Well...shit," Alex muttered.

Mr. Freeze then locked her inside the cold room.

Col. Haley was noticeably pissed-off that her director was missing. "What is her position?" she asked Brainiac 5.

"Her tracker is offline. She could be anywhere," Brainiac 5 said grimly. "I suggest we enlist Supergirl's help."

"No, fuck that," Col. Haley rejected instantly.

"Colonel, if we don't find Alex soon the odds of us finding her alive goes down exponentially," Brainiac 5 warned.

"I assume Supergirl is already patrolling for her. She doesn't need our permission," Col. Haley said. "Share with her any information you come up with her."

Brainiac 5 then hacked into Alex's email and saw an email asking medical questions including Alex's blood type. Brainiac 5 then pulled up Alex's medical file and saw that it had the very rare AB Negative blood type. Brainiac 5 then cross-referenced the blood type with others of the same and saw a list of them. One of them was Nora Fries.

"The plot thickens," Brainiac 5 realized.

Alex jumped on her bed and finally reached a suspended pipe. She then looked to open a vent to escape from. Mr. Freeze saw Alex crawling through the vent as he opened the door. He took out his freeze gun and nearly killed her with sharp icicles forming in the vent. Mr. Freeze followed her movements through the ventilation system. Alex finally reached a dead-end and kicked the vent open. Entering the room, she felt the intense cold of the room. On a medical bed was Nora outside her capsule with medical equipment monitoring her. Alex went over to Nora and felt for a pulse. She found one albeit very low.

"Get away from her," Mr. Freeze said alarmed.

"What am I doing here?" Alex demand taking up a pipe.

"My wife, Nora, will be dead without your help," Mr. Freeze told her. "She requires a blood transfusion. The two of you have the same rare blood type."

"I suggest a hospital," Alex said sarcastically.

"No hospital and no more questions," Mr. Freeze pointed his gun at her.

"You kidnap me and expect me to cooperate?" Alex asked.

"Yes," Mr. Freeze said nonchalantly.

"I'll help but not like this," Alex said and then took off running. Mr. Freeze fired down the hall creating an ice wall to block her path. Alex shattered the ice wall with the pipe and continued running down the metallic hall. She came upon an elevator shaft and escaped before Mr. Freeze could get a shot at her.

"Ha, too easy," Alex said impressed with herself. She then exited the elevator and ran off. As she got to the edge of the platform, she suddenly realized she was on an abandoned oil rig far from the coast.

"I am so fucked," Alex realized.

"Yes you are," Mr. Freeze agreed.

Mr. Freeze chained up Alex to her bed, so she wouldn't attempt to escape again. "You don't have to chain me up," Alex said annoyed.

"Evidently, I do," Mr. Freeze said condescendingly. "Try to escape again, and I'll chain your feet as well."

"How can you treat people like this?" Alex asked shocked and appalled.

"Do you even listen to yourself?" Mr. Freeze mocked. "Nora was the only thing I loved in my life, and they took her from me. I don't care what I have to do to get her back. I'll freeze the whole world if only I could get her back," he said coldly and then locked the door.

"Where have I heard that before?" Alex wondered.

At the DEO, Brainiac 5 took charge of the situation. "Activate...the BAT," he ordered. The DEO then was able to use every cell phone in Metropolis to try to locate Mr. Freeze. Brainiac 5 quickly scanned through each and every cell-phone user until he saw the cell phone sonar images coming off sailors in the bay. Putting them all together, he could see the abandoned oil rig. The sonar pulsed the oil rig and then Brainiac 5 saw Alex trying to escape off the edge with Mr. Freeze in pursuit.

"Coincidence or fate?" Brainiac 5 wondered as he got her location.

At PATRIOT, Nikolai radioed Kara. "We know where the bastard is."

Kara took off from the Arctic and shot towards Metropolis.

Mr. Freeze opened the door and released Alex from her chains. "I am ready to begin the procedure," Mr. Freeze said to her.

"Well, I'm not," Alex said slinging the chain around her head and smacking him to his domed head. "Really?" Mr. Freeze said annoyed and then froze the metal chain shattering it.

Alex kicked and punched at Mr. Freeze but had no effect on his armored suit. He took hold of her and dragged her to the surgical room. Mr. Freeze then chained Alex to the medical bed and took out a needle to put her under. "This isn't a blood transfusion, is it?" Alex realized the truth.

"No," Mr. Freeze replied coldly.

A sudden impact shook the oil rig tossing Mr. Freeze into his wife's hospital bed. Mr. Freeze quickly repaired the damage to Nora's medical bed as Alex worked to escape from her cuffs. Alex dislocated her thumb and got out of the cuffs. She then ran off as Mr. Freeze was preoccupied.

Walking on the platform, Alex then saw who had created the impact. "Supergirl?" Alex wondered.

A furious Kara walked towards Alex with red eyes. "Director Danvers," Kara addressed calming down.

"You're...dead," Alex said confused.

"Sorry to disappoint," Kara smirked.

"I can tell that accent anywhere. Have you betrayed us to the Russians?" Alex accused.

"You're doing this now?" Kara asked annoyed.

"Col. Haley was right. Supergirl cannot be trusted. After everything we've been through, you faked your own death and joined the Russians. Is everything a game to you?" Alex raged.

"I wish it was," Kara frowned.

"I thought you were my friend," Alex said hurt.

Kara gave Alex a curious look. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"What are you talking about?" Alex demanded.

"I thought we were more than just friends," Kara tested.

"You're sick," Alex said feeling insulted.

"Okay, this is getting really weird now. Fortunately, I don't give a shit about you, Director Danvers. I want him," Kara said scanning the oil rig with her X-ray vision.

"Too much lead. I guess we'll have to do this the old-fashion way," Kara said blasting the oil drums with her heat vision. The oil rig began exploding everywhere. Kara smiled as she saw the intense explosions. Her hair flew backward as she experienced the heat. Alex was on the floor stunned.

"Oh, I forgot you were there. My bad," Kara said dismissively.

"Nora is in there. You have to save his wife. She's innocent," Alex said to her.

"No one is innocent," Kara replied.

"If there is any light in you left, you will save her," Alex lectured her.

Kara considered Alex and then saw Mr. Freeze emerge. He pointed his gun at her and fired an ice beam at her chest. Kara was quickly frozen solid. Kara quickly blasted the ice off her as she went Prime.

"You are so fucked," Kara said advancing on him.

"We can make a deal, Supergirl. I'll give you all my knowledge on cryogenics if you save my wife," Mr. Freeze offered.

"You killed almost a hundred of our sailors," Kara pointed out angrily.

"Russia would never let so few hold it back from real progress," Mr. Freeze said to her.

"Well, when you're right, you're right," Kara admitted.

"Give Alex Danvers to me, and I'll give you all that I know," Mr. Freeze said.

Alex gave Kara a horrified look wondering what she would do. "I have a counter-proposal: I'll save you both and then we'll take the organ you need from some schmuck on death row that has the blood type she needs," Kara said advancing on Mr. Freeze until she was close to his face.

"And then, you will be our slave for the rest of your miserable life," Kara glared at him.

"It's a deal, Supergirl," Mr. Freeze said sincerely.

The oil rig then exploded casting debris on Kara and Mr. Freeze. Kara easily threw the debris off of her, but Mr. Freeze was pinned down with a broken leg. "Damn it," Kara said realizing her mistake.

"My leg is broken," Mr. Freeze told her.

"Yeah, no shit," Kara said using her X-ray vision to scan his leg. Kara pulled the debris off of him freeing him. "Where is Nora?" Kara asked him.

"Down there," Mr. Freeze pointed to the spot.

Kara scanned the oil rig and found her. She then turned to Alex. "Watch him and make sure he stays alive. If he dies, you die."

"Fine," Alex said resentfully.

Kara then blasted the stairwell with frost breath getting rid of the flames and raced down inside. Finding Nora, Kara blasted the area with frost breath and carried her to the surface through the elevator shaft. Kara gently placed Nora's body on the floor and then looked towards Alex. She found Alex with Mr. Freeze's gun. "I'm not going to let you take him," she said to Kara.

"You Americans hog all the scientists for yourself. How many of ours have defected to you?" Kara said to her.

"That's because you treat your people like shit. We're free and you're not. I represent freedom and you do not," Alex said to her.

"That's rich coming from the director of an unaccountable government agency that routinely violates the rights of your citizens with impunity," Kara mocked.

"We're not perfect," Alex admitted.

"You're not even close," Kara sneered.

"What happened to you? What made you hate me so?" Alex asked her.

"It's not personal. Let's just agree to disagree," Kara said to her.

"No, he stays with us. He goes to jail where he belongs," Alex said pointing the freeze gun at him.

"What is that supposed to do?" Mr. Freeze mocked.

"I bet if I freeze you in ice, you will suffocate," Alex said obviously.

"You do that and you die," Kara said with glowing red eyes.

"Then I die," Alex said ready to pull the trigger.

Kara normalized her eyes. "Alex, we're sisters, remember? It's me...Kara Danvers. Give me the gun."

"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. We were colleagues, nothing more," Alex said to her.

"I visited your father and mother the other day. I lived with you in your house for years. Don't you remember?" Kara asked.

"No," Alex shook her head.

"Damn, that makes two of us," Kara said sadly.

"I'm done with your bullshit. You'll have to do better than that, Ruskie," Alex said scornfully.

"Oh, I can do a lot better than that," Kara said using her super-speed to get close to Alex. She fired her freeze gun towards Mr. Freeze, but Kara blocked the beam with her hand shielding Mr. Freeze. The freeze gun then exploded in Alex's hand as it received a feedback loop.

"No," Alex said realizing her leverage was gone.

"So, you don't remember me, and I don't remember you. That's...fucked up," Kara said mournfully. She then embraced Alex and kissed her on the lips as the oil rig exploded behind them.

Alex stared at Kara dazed. Kara noticed DEO helicopters approaching. Kara gently pushed Alex over the edge where she fell in the water. Turning away from Alex, Kara picked up Mr. Freeze and Nora and flew off from the doomed oil rig. DEO helicopters then retrieved Alex in the water.

Brainiac 5 noticed Kara leaving with two bodies as Alex was brought on-board. "What happened?" Alex shook her head confused. "Where is Mr. Freeze and Nora?"

"I'm afraid, they didn't survive," Brainiac 5 lied to her.

Kara dropped Mr. Freeze and Nora's body at PATRIOT. "You will find the climate here more to your liking," Kara glared at him.

"What would you sacrifice to save your loved ones?" Mr. Freeze asked her.

"I always put country before family," Kara replied.

"Then, it is you that should be pitied," Mr. Freeze said as he was escorted away. Nikolai came out to meet Kara. "I was thinking you would kill him for sure, but you kept your emotions in check. You gave us a great gift," Nikolai said pleased.

"A genius scientist for a hundred sailors is a good trade, isn't it?" Kara said resentfully.

"They will be given their due honor," Nikolai lied.

Kara looked out into the distance. "You're not making it easy to like you."

"Here's something you'll appreciate. How about killing some ISIS fucks?" Nikolai offered her.

"I guess Christmas has come early," Kara smiled.
