WARNING: Torture for Roulette continued.
She placed the phone next to her face, and is holding it for Roulette, also known as Veronica Sinclair.
She stares at Oliver, "h-hey sweetie, it's Veronica" she swallows and feels sweat go down her neck and into her dress. "I'm f-fine... yes. I'm going away for a while though... no this means you need to access the account yourself. Yes... I know you don't like it but you HAVE to," she swallows and closes her eyes to concentrate.
"You can walk to it... it's safer to bank in person than online damn it," she cringes as her hand feels a spike of pain due to the broken finger. Palms sweating, "it's at Olive and Maple Road... yes you know that corner, just to be sure the branch number is 4515. Your pin is -"
Oliver takes the phone and hangs it up, "No one needs to give a branch number... for cheque purposes online and the number you gave matches DEO in numerical format!" He says angrily.
Alex slaps her hard across the face. "I gave you one chance! Now you give the locations or he slits your throat now!" Alex growled threatening.
Roulette spits out blood, tongue in cheek as she tastes the copper from the hit. Looking up at Alex, "you and I both know that's an empty threat if you really want any chance of seeing those girls again," she smirks and looks at Oliver. Though she's covered in sweat now due to the torture and stress of it all, she feels a sense of pride that she got that call out and still holds the information.
Without warning Oliver snaps the next finger which brings about her echoing screams and her head going down and up, her whole body rigid from the agony. "Quit stalling! I know you don't want Supergirl to return so now your stalling! Only now unless you give us those locations I'll keep dislocating your fingers and breaking each joint! And I won't stop there... you've got toes and I've got another tool that I'm dying to use!"
"And if you don't give me the location right now- I will simply slit your throat!" Alex told her knife now at her jugular.
Roulette pants and looks up at them both, biting her tongue she shakes her head and he dislocates her next finger. Her head rolls back, tears flowing freely down her cheeks and chest heaving, bottom lip trembling before she finally makes eye contact with Alex.
"That... that would be a welcome right now," her voice less confident but she trembles before she looks at Oliver and sees him start to sift through his bag. Her heart is hammering faster with each passing second that she wishes it would burst.
He pulls out a canister, wearing gloves he pulls it out from a thermos and opens it carefully for vapours to billow out of it. Frost lines the outside of it, "this... is liquid nitrogen... I will start pouring small amounts on your perfectly pedicured toes until you finally give up your information." He pours some into the lid and hovers it above her right toes.
"You want to die?"
She looks up at Alex and bites out, "Do it!"
She looks at Oliver. "Stop! She's obviously not going to give the answers." She looks her in the eyes. "You told me you would give the locations. You lied."
Oliver gets into her face and grabs it roughly, "you are going to do as we want or this will get worse," he whispers coldly.
"So which is it going to be? I walk away and let him give what's left of you to the authorities? Or you simply give the locations. It's really your choice." She is not happy about the torture that has been inflicted, and knows she will be on report for allowing it. "What's it going to be Veronica?"
Roulette closes her eyes shut tight, hearing that the agent would leave her with him she gives out a whimper. "Fine... f-fine I'll write it down... give a tablet as I can't write," she looks down to see him putting the lid back on and lets the sobs pour out. Now she knows how those she tormented feels.
"Give me the coordinates and names of the planets. Now! I will write them down for you. Quit stalling! You are already in a lot of trouble for trafficking humans and torturing aliens!" She slaps her hard again, making her nose bleed.
Fresh tears spill down, "2749.53 and 53783.20," she continues giving series of numbers one after another till they have six all together.
"Planet names?"
"They're difficult to pronounce some of them due to the alien tongue," she comments and swallows.
"Spell them."
"R-u-u-g-i-g-h-e-n D-a-r-r-h is one," she looks up at Alex.
"And the others? Veronica! The other planet's names now!"
Roulette groans and looks at her mangled hand, "can I have my fingers tended to please while I give the information?" She feels herself start to beg, Oliver walks out of the room to request for medical and comes back.
A nurse comes in to treat the mangled fingers of Veronica. Soon she has bandages on the four or so that he damaged. She looked at both Alex and Oliver disapproving, and she also gave her an injection for the pain. "This will make her more pliant for you." She told the two. She finished her work and quickly left.
Roulette sighs and wishes she could rest her head back, "that planet is watched over by Khalilen... no last name," she informs. "R-A-S-H-L-A-Q is controlled by two... Sibgala and Tok..." she closes her eyes. "Y-A-N is controlled by three," she continued on giving names and with the last one she groans. "We call him Click... he has a translator, all he speaks in is clicking sounds. His planet has the most complex name but it also has the best fighters... you want to win a war, you get him involved. U-U-N-I-K-R-A T-R-A-A-A I-S-H-K-U-K and I'm probably wrong on the spelling but it's how it sounds."
Alex took all this down. "If they check out - You get a reprieve." She motioned for Oliver to leave with her.
She quickly heads to the DEO portal, meets Winn down there and has him feed the coordinates in the portal. "Do these planets exist?" She asked him urgently.
Oliver walks with her out of the room and with his bag of tools. "Do you want me gone?" He asks as Winn starts typing away.
"For now. Get cleaned up, something to eat." She replied. "I may need you later."
She sees J'onn walk in with a very disapproving look. "Ah shit..." She mumbled quickly looking away back towards Winn. "Sooner is better than later Winn." She growled.
Oliver looks at J'onn, "want to talk?" He places his hands into his pockets.
Winn smiles as he throws images up, "according to my data they're all there with gateways each! And Ruugighen Darrh is closest to where you got Roulette!"
"Ok. J'onn we need to send a team to these coordinates. We have to be stealthy as we are searching. We don't even know if they are in these arenas." She told him. She looked back at the screen. "I think we should send a squad there. A search mission. Oliver- Go!" Alex ordered him out of the room.
Oliver looks at J'onn, "permission to go to that planet with the team?"
"No you can't go on a search mission. If they find them we will go." Alex told him. "Now go get rest and food."
Oliver shakes his head, "if they took refuge on one of the spectators smaller vessels and they departed before reaching that planet, we need to know. We need to track where that ship has made stops at and question those on board." He looks at her seriously, "I don't need rest or food, I'm fine."
"We don't know which ship." She looks at Winn. "Is there a way to track a ship through the portal?"
"She knows what ship," he comments and looks at Winn who types away.
"Yes... the X105 Xereba!" Winn announces and types away further, "it is actually not at that planet anymore... it's at the third one and showed up an hour ago which is a huge gap of time between the two..." he takes a look at the time stamps. "It didn't use the gate when leaving from the second planet but it came through so perhaps it went to another planet? Maybe dropping off passengers and picking up others? Supplies?"
Oliver snaps his fingers, "they probably ate a lot! Forced them into re-supplying their kitchen stock!"
A squad is sent to the first arena planet. Neither Alex or Oliver goes. While Winn is arranging trips, Alex is taking in a private room with J'onn. "I know you are not happy with the methods that we had to go to get intel. I am sorry. I want my sister back!" She snapped at him.
J'onn sets his hands onto the table, "I know you do Alex... we all do... I've been covering for her and to know," he clears his voice as his anger starts to peak. "That torture was conducted in my building," he looks at her seriously, "that instead of the normal interrogation... you caved in to let him torture her for information is beyond my ideals!" He says firmly. "I consider your sister to be like a daughter to me Alex! How do you think she'll react to knowing that you watched and allowed it to take place for her?"
"I had no choice! I would do it again if it meant getting her back!" She bit out angrily. "Discipline me! But understand this!" Her eyes flashed angrily at him. "If it means getting her back I am not sorry and she deserved it!"
Standing up straight, "You had every choice!" He booms back at her, slamming his hands onto the table. "You choose the short cut instead of using the tactics we have always used!" He moves around his desk to face her, looking down at her, "your not sorry... so the sounds that came from that room that I heard didn't bother you? To stoop to Oliver's level to get what we all want!" He watches her eyes closely.
"Yes it bothered me!" She yelled back. "We are out of time to try to do it the nice way! We got locations and that ship name!" She shook her head. "I am not going to argue. You want my resignation? You have it here and now!"
"We would have gotten that information if you'd have given me time... of which I'm fully aware we were desperate on," he watches her closely. "I want you up for a psych evaluation, I will not accept any resignation... but I do expect better from you Alex... today I didn't see my agent when I left that room," he says firmly but softly. "I didn't recognize the woman I trained and worked beside for year's... I'll tell Dr. Livingston that he's to see you," he leans against his desk.
"If we find that ship- I am going to meet up with it. You can Psyche me when I am back with my sister. I have no doubt she will need it too- because of that bitch!
J'onn stares down at her, "they've already seized the ship Alex, I got the call before you came in. They're searching it now and I haven't been called on any updates. If she isn't there she could have left with her twin, in which case interviews must be conducted with those on board. Understood?" He asks patiently.
"Yes."
J'onn gives a curt nod, "you may go and join with Oliver on the team to inspect and interview the passengers."
"Fine." She heads out, quickly leaving* him.
Oliver is standing at the gate, hands on his bow standing with a team waiting patiently for Alex to arrive. He's in DEO gear but insisted on his bow. He drums his fingers as he watches her appear, "ready Agent Danvers?" He asks in a professional tone and eyes her closely.
"Let's go." Is all she says as they go thru the portal.
Both the supers decided it was high time they left the ship. There in the cargo hold they saw an escape pod anchored to the side of the deck.
They quickly jumped inside it and launched the pod away.
Kara Danvers knew somewhat how to fly it and managed to program the navigator towards the nearest habitable planet.
"I am sure they saw us leave." Kara Queen looked through her window worriedly.
"Don't worry about it, we can ditch the ship once we land, get fresh clothes and..." she looks in the dash board, which in this case is under the control pad. "Someone left spare cash... guess the rich guy figured if he had to high tail it then he needed a stash of cash," she smirks as they near the planets atmosphere.
Her eyes dart around, looking at the readings, the trajectory, and speed, she maneuvers it smoothly, or what she'd consider smooth, through the clouds.
"I don't like it Kara. We can be arrested for taking the escape pod. We need to be well away from it and how is that going to happen if we are inspected upon landing?"
Rolling her eyes, "you worry too much, and I'm not going to land us on a pad. That's too obvious... there's a patch of trees and water over there, and... a market?" She screws up her face in concentration. "We'll find out."
"I worry too much? How can you say that after everything we have been through?"
Supergirl smiles at her and would wrap her arm around her but needs to focus on driving. "I'm trying to keep it light... the more we stress the more we'll screw up... the more we're confident, the more we'll have luck and look right," she steers towards the trees and notices a blinking light on the screen.
"Hmmm" it's moving towards their vessel and upon zooming in it's a cruiser. She wets her lips and concentrates, "okay need a diversion and to eject or we'll have company as soon as we land it seems. And don't get angry," she says as she flips a switch and clicks a few buttons on the touch screen.
"We are flying out now? I don't want company for sure. I am afraid of us getting arrested. We will be if they catch us. If the Sorceress comes out I will be killed somehow."
Supergirl closes her eyes briefly, "I'll see you soon," she presses a release button and fireworks shoot off outside of the ship. Beacons to inform others of where the ship is but in this case to distract. She flips the pod and hits another button and the hatch opens above the water.
Overgirl gets sucked out and falls into the water and Supergirl keeps it spiraling and aims it for a chunk of bush before jumping out to miss the lake and instead fall into a tree. She grunts and hears a boom for her eyes to widen, "oops..." She watches the small ship fly overhead to investigate.
Kara Queen comes up sputtering water, makes sure no one is around, and flies out.
She sees Kara Danvers in a tree. She flies up next to her and crouches down with her.
"We need to get out of here as soon as they aren't looking." Overgirl tells Supergirl looking over at the small patrol ship investigating the crashed pod.
"We better like this planet because we are stuck here for a while."
