Chapter 5:

In the Leviathan headquarters, Gemma Cooper joined Margot with a disappointed look.

"Our drones have failed, as have our Dominators," she announced."The Girl of Steel is still intact."

"Don't worry," said Margot. "I have other plans for the Kryptonian."

"We'll have to hit hard this time," insisted Gemma.

"That is precisely what we are going to do," replied the old lady again, with a grin.

The two of them joined William, who was seated at a table with two guards as "babysitters". The young man looked at the two women with apprehension.

"William, I wanted to thank us for putting this kryptonite in our drones," said Margot with a bad smile. "It was remarkable!"

William was very disgusted to be forced to obey Leviathan's orders, but he thought of Mia and Connor, and what would happen to them, if he rebelled. There had to be a way to break free from this sect.

"What else can I do for you?" he replied in a neutral tone.

"We'll reach Supergirl! Make her totally vulnerable!"revealed the elderly woman.

The young man raised an eyebrow.

"How?"

"We are going to use a stratagem that Lex Luthor himself had developed for Superman, and this is where you will move again," she explained with a sneer.

Oliver Queen and John Diggle discovered DEO premises for the first time. They quickly brought Supergirl back to the federal agency for treatment, following the drone's kryptonite attack. Alex immediately put her under solar lights, while Mia and Connor told their fathers what had happened since their disappearance from Earth – 1. Mia had told her father, the internet cafe, the waiter who had it distracted and the kidnapping of William.

Alex had returned to show the images from the surveillance cameras. Oliver and John could therefore see the kidnapping of William as it had happened. Then Mia and Connor told them what they knew about the kidnappers of William, namely Leviathan, of whom they had no information, and the involvement of Gregory Spielman, who was currently detained in the DEO cell.

Oliver couldn't take his eyes off the screen. He kept watching William being kidnapped by men, dragging him to a limousine, and then Mia running like an arrow to try to rescue him, to no avail.

Mia was distraught.

"I got distracted, I couldn't save William," she said to her father.

Oliver had turned to her.

"It's not your fault, we're going to find William," he had replied with balance.

"What do we have as a clue?" asked John.

"Just these guy Spielman... and Leviathan who would be involved," Connor replied.

Alex came over to them.

"William wasn't kidnapped accidentally, his captors wanted him specially," she explained.

Oliver was stunned.

"How can people of this Earth know our children? It's nonsense."

"That's exactly what we said to each other," said Connor again. "They knew exactly where to find us."

"The only one who can give us answers is Spielman," added Mia. (She turned to Alex.) "He's locked up here. Did he say something?"

Alex shook her head.

"He refuses to say anything. He's too scared. He keeps saying we want to kill him. He must really fear for his life if he sought to leave the city. He won't say anything at all."

"Let's make him talk!" Oliver decided in a somber tone.

"How?" Alex wondered. "I just said…"

"He's the only one who knows where William is," insisted the archer of Earth – 1. "I can make him speak."

"Do you intend to torture him?"returned the elder Danvers. "Oliver, this is against DEO principles."

"This is about my son's life. I'm gonna make this guy talk, with or without your permission."

"You're not in Star City, nor on your Earth. I run this agency…"

Sensing a long conflict coming, Mia hastened to intervene before it escalated.

"Alex! Alex! You and Kara promised to help us find William. Let him do it, please! Spielman knows where my brother is! You've to let my dad do it."

Alex sighed. She understood the situation, even Oliver's motivation. If it was Kara's or Kelly's life, she would break her own rules to save her. But she could not allow an extraordinary interrogation in her agency.

She ends up nodding.

"Fine, but I have to cut the camera to avoid a scandal. I can ask Brainy to cut the image discreetly. Only, you won't have much time, Oliver. Five minutes, no more."

Oliver nodded silently.

"Five minutes is enough for me," said the archer.

For hours, Spielman had been taken to a white room in front of a table. He looked around, as if he feared reprisals. Then Oliver entered the room, and sat down in front of the man with a somber look.

"As I said to the other agents and to the beautiful redhead who came to question me, I have nothing to say to you. I have rights, I will speak only in the presence of my lawyer," retorted Spielman with balance.

"I'm not an agent here," Oliver said calmly, but with a dark look.

"Are you from the police?"

"No."

"What are you, then? I want a lawyer."

"And I want a place," said Oliver, placing his hands on the table. "Where's William? Leviathan! What is that?"

"Trust me," said Spielman anxiously. "That's better that you ignore it."

The archer banged his hands on the table with a sharp blow, startling the suspect.

"Wrong answer. Do you want to know who I am? The young man you kidnapped yesterday in this Internet café, William… He's a person close to me, and you must know that I would do whatever it takes to find him."

"If you touch me, I'll file a complaint," warned Spielman.

"I don't really care! I ask my question again: where's William? And why did Leviathan remove it?"

Spielman lost his temper and looked anxious.

"Believe me, you'd be crazy to measure yourself against Leviathan. They have weapons, very powerful allies… they can kill you in no time. These people are monsters. They vowed to kill me if I speak to you."

Oliver was half-amused, half annoyed. He knew that a terrible Crisis was imminent and that it would ravage the entire Multiverse. Hearing this man spoke of a less dangerous threat than the Crisis made him mocking.

"Believe me or not, Leviathan is the least of your worries! Besides, I'm already doomed, so I've nothing to lose. So you're going to tell me where William is…"

"They'll kill me if I speak to you… "stammered the completely frightened man. "Do you understand what I'm telling you or what?"

Boiling with rage, Oliver brutally pushed the table, throwing Spielman to the floor. The archer stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar and pressed him to the ground.

"I'll kill you, if you refuse to speak! Do you understand what I'm telling you, or do I have to use a little more striking arguments?"

"I can't tell you anything," sobbed Spielman.

Tightening his grip on the prisoner's collar, Oliver pulled him to his feet, pressing hard and pressed him against the back wall.

"LEVIATHAN! WILLIAM! TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE?"he bellowed. "I DON'T MAKE YOU ENOUGH SCARY LIKE THAT? TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE OR I KILLING YOU!"

"Stop it! Stop it! I just know one of their landmarks!"exclaimed the man, completely panicked.

At the DEO control center, Alex waited, along with Mia, Connor and John. Then came Brainy to tell them:

"The five minutes have expired, madam."

Alex was about to reply, when Oliver came back to them.

"I got answers. Spielman gave me the address of a building belonging to Leviathan, he let them know."

"Did he also tell you why they kidnapped your son?" asked John.

"Leviathan recruited this man to make them powerful and deadly weapons. He was hired with several people to kidnap William in the internet cafe. They knew exactly where to find him. I think Leviathan is the cause of our children being on this Earth."

They all looked dumbfounded.

"You mean we are not here by accident?" Connor exclaimed. "That it was Leviathan who brought us here?"

"Exactly," replied Oliver.

"But why William? And why didn't you kidnap us and Connor?"asked Mia, falling from the clouds.

"I don't know that," added the archer.

"I'm going to warn Kara," said Alex, leaving the checkpoint.

Mia followed her.

Supergirl regained her strength under its sunlamps, letting itself be lulled by the rays. When Alex and Mia came to join her.

"How do you feel?"asked Kara's sister.

"Better," replied the Kryptonian.

"How does it feel to be under these lamps?"asked Mia, intrigued.

"Warm, fuzzy, I feel it in my toes first and it brings comfort," replied the Girl of Steel.

"So cool!"

Then Supergirl came out of her reverie.

"Any news?"

"Yes," replied the archer's daughter. "Spielman admitted to having worked for Leviathan, and gave us an address. We think William could be there."

Immediately, the Kryptonian got up.

"I'm come with you."

"Are you sure it's safe?" Alex pointed out to her. "They almost killed you last time."

"I'm not scared of Leviathan, and they're holding William prisoner," Kara replied. "I have to intervene, and I promised Mia that I will help her."

"I trust you, Supergirl," Mia replied enthusiastically.

All three joined Oliver, John and Connor at the agency checkpoint.

"You feel better?" Asked the archer to his Kryptonian friend.

"I'm fine, Oliver."

Alex announced to them:

"I'm preparing a team to intervene there. We've no idea what we are facing, so be careful."

"I'm agree," agreed John.

"Are we coming with you?" Connor asked.

"I don't see why you won't come?" replied Supergirl.

"So… Suit up!" replied Oliver.

Later, a DEO team prepared to invest in a building in the city of National City. Oliver (in Green Arrow's suit ) and John (in Spartan's suit) stood with Alex in a van, waiting for the signal.

Supergirl flew around the building, before landing on the roof of a building opposite. She announced to her headset:

"I don't see anything, everything is camouflaged with plumb."

Alex sighed:

"So we're going to have to go blindly."

"It doesn't matter," replied Green Arrow. "Here we go, Alex!"

Alex gave the order to intervene.

The officers immediately entered the building. Green Arrow, Spartan, Mia and Connor made their way with them, weapons and bows in hand. Alex and Supergirl joined them and roamed the building from top to bottom.

They all inspected the rooms and the floors, and found nothing at all.

Mia ran into all the rooms, hoping to find a trace of William, with her unfolded bow ready to attack.

Then Supergirl joined her in silence.

"Do you find something?" whispered Mia.

"No, I see nothing, and there is no one," replied the Kryptonian.

Then they heard screams:

"Help! Help! Somebody help!"

"That's William's voice!" cried Mia, running in one direction.

"Wait, Mia!" intervened Supergirl, joining her.

The two of them arrived at a locked door where screams could be heard. Mia unfolded her bow and motioned for Supergirl to open the door. The latter complied by shaking her head and kicking the door, smashing it.

The two women took over the room… to find out a device that was recording on a table with a cup of coffee:

"It wasn't William!"Mia grumbled, putting away her bow, annoyed.

Supergirl touched the cup of coffee.

"It's still hot!"she pointed out.

"So they're not far," said Mia hopefully. "This corridor leads to an emergency exit."

Both took the path which led them outside. They tumbled into a deserted lane. The kidnappers could easily have taken this street to escape.

"Where did they go?" exclaimed the young archer.

Suddenly, two Dominators came out of nowhere and attacked them. Supergirl used the superpower of her fist to strike one of the creatures on the head, sending him flying in the air, while Mia used her bow and shot several arrows at the other, killing it immediately.

"These things are really disgusting," commented the archer.

Supergirl looked exhausted, and had trouble standing.

"What the…"

She almost fell, when Mia caught her, supporting her by the body.

"Supergirl, what's wrong?" she asked her with concern.

"I don't know what's happening to me, I don't feel good…"

Then a red glow enveloped them. Stunned, Mia looked at the sky which immediately took on a red color. Even the sun suddenly turned red in a few moments.

"What the hell is happening?" she exclaimed, amazed. "Why is the sky red? Is this normal on your Earth?"

"No, it's not normal and it's bad for me,"replied Supergirl in a weak voice.

"Why?"

"Because I've no powers under a red sun. Lena's evil brother did this once on my cousin Superman."

Mia looked anxious.

Then Alex's voice echoed in Kara's headset.

"The sun is red! Kara, can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you, Alex! Tell me you found William."

"Negative, the building is deserted, there is no trace of him."

Mia was more than distraught.

"How are we going to do this? Without clues and without your powers?"

Supergirl, despite her weak condition, put her hand on the young woman's shoulder.

"Keep hope, Mia! Keep hope!"

And the two of them watched the red sun shine brightly across the city of National City.

By the way, have you seen the centenary of the Supergirl series? I loved it too much!
