Authors Note: Hello again everyone and Happy New Years! I'm glad to be back on track of releases and I can't wait to get further along in this story with you! A quick little disclaimer, I have no idea where most of the cities are in the DC Universe. I tried looking up some sort of map but all them were inconsistent with the locations so bear with me that. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'll see you on the other side!
Chapter 3
The soft sound of rumbling greeted Kara as she opened her eyes groggily. Her head rested on the window of a car and a small drop of drool laid on the edge of her chin. Wiping her mouth, the blonde tried moving her head to see who was driving, but was greeted with a massive headache.
"You might not want to move too fast." a gentle voice whispered. Kara ignored the ache and wasn't entirely surprised to see Alex in the driver's seat, her eyes focused on the road and her lips parted in a small smile.
"Alex?" was all Kara could mutter.
"Yeah, how are you feeling?" the brunette answered.
"I feel like I got hit with a car." the elder Danvers cocked an eyebrow and Kara rolled her eyes, "As if I were human." Alex gave a curt nod and returned her focus to driving. Kara sat up as straight as she could and rubbed her neck, and winced as she put too much pressure on a small area.
"Oh you might not want to touch your neck for awhile." Kara's looked at the brunette and asked, "What happened Alex?" the driver took a second to respond but gave a sigh and glanced at Kara.
"I shot you." she said simply.
"What?! What do you mean you shot me?" Kara blustered.
"Don't worry it was just a tranquilizer dart with Kryptonite, like the one we used on you after you saved my plane. Only not as heavy on the Kryptonite, I didn't want to hurt you." Alex admitted.
"Why did you shoot is what I meant Alex!" Kara shouted. Alex sighed and explained the time after Kara fell under.
Alex rushed over to Kara, seeing that her legs were giving out. The brunette caught the blonde in her arms and guilt flooded her mind as Kara could only mutter 'Alex' before her eyes closed.
"Alex what the hell did you do to her!?" Winn yelled.
"Relax Winn, it's just a sedative, she'll be fine." Alex snapped not taking her eyes off the alien as she set her gently on the floor. The brunette pulled out the dart in her neck and tossed it in the trash before standing up to face a dumbfounded Winn and J'onn.
"Alex why did you sedate her?" J'onn tried asking calmly but his face betrayed his tone.
"I am not going to let Kara be thrown into a cell for something she didn't do. I'm going to take her away from National City and I'm going to need you both to try and find out who actually killed Caine." Alex took a gulp of breath after finishing and that only got her another confused answer from J'onn.
"Alex this is insane. You can't get Kara out of here, Lane's soldiers will stop you in an instant. Even if you could, where would you go? They will not stop until both of you are in custody."
"I don't care J'onn. I can't lose her, you would do the same if were someone you loved!" Alex slammed her mouth shut after saying that, hoping that neither of them would detect the extra meaning behind her words. Lucky for Alex, they didn't.
"It would be easy for me because unlike you, I can be halfway around the world in less than an hour."
"You taught me how to disappear J'onn, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Alex finished with a frown with her arms folded. J'onn sighed, knowing that there was absolutely nothing he could say to convince Alex she was making a mistake. A part of him though couldn't help but feel proud of how far the brunette would go to protect her sister.
"Fine. Fine! How do you expect to get Kara out of here. I don't know if you noticed but there at least ten armed soldiers outside this door and they have bigger guns than you."
"I don't need to fight my way out, I just need a distraction. A big one." Alex walked over to her computer and looked at the list of prisoners in the DEO. The brunette was looking for one that was big enough to get the attention of the guards, but not strong enough that he would kill them.
"Here we go, Prisoner D02, it should be enough to distract everyone long enough for me to get Kara into a car." J'onn wasn't to sure about this , he didn't want to endanger the lives of his agents, but he needed to help the girls he called his daughters.
"Okay I'll release him and make it look like an accident, what else?" he asked nodding his head.
"I need you," she said looking at Winn, "to disable the security cameras in and around the garage. I need all the time I can get before Lane figures out I'm the one who left with Supergirl." Winn nodded in understanding and went to Alex's laptop to hack into the cameras.
"What about your accounts? It won't take Lane long to figure out that is was you, and I'm sure he'll track your -"
"Like I said J'onn," the brunette interrupted, "you taught me how to disappear."
J'onn smirked and left the room to head to the cells. While Alex was propping Kara up against the wall, she heard Winn ask, "So where are you going to go?" Alex thought about this for a second. There were a few options floating in her mind. Gotham, Central City, Blüdhaven, and Midway, but Metropolis and Midvale were definitely off the list.
"I'm not sure yet, maybe Central City or Gotham. Kara's never been to Coast City so that's an option." Alex said.
"Well if I were you, I wouldn't go to Gotham. That place is filled with maniacs." Winn cautioned.
"Noted, so did you get the feed down yet? I need to get Kara out of here quick before Lane busts in here with a pair of cuffs."
"Well I didn't take them completely off because if Lane saw them then he'd know that they were tampered with so I just put them on a loop." He stated proudly. Alex smiled and picked up Kara and gently wrapped the alien's arm around her neck.
"Hey, stay safe out there Alex, and good luck." Winn said. Alex appreciated his concern and gave him a brisk nod and got ready to bust out of the door.
"Wait when do you think J'onn is going to release the -" the tech guy was interrupted as an alarm blared through the whole facility and the sound of roaring echoed outside of Alex's walls. "Uh I guess that's it?" Winn chuckled.
Alex peaked her head outside of the door to see all of the agents and soldiers rushing the same way. She waited a good ten seconds after the last agent passed and she threw open the door and carried Kara across the base to the garage. As the girls disappeared from sight, Winn gave another silent 'Good luck' to them both and got ready to set the camera's back to normal.
Alex grunted as she had to re-position the unconscious blondes arm around her neck and she picked up the pace as she heard a faint 'He's goin down!'
As the agent reached the garage she locked the main door to get in from the base and picked the car that had been assigned to her a few months ago. Alex set the alien in and rushed to the driver's side door. As she turned the corner, Alex was greeted with a yelp and was shocked to see Agent Vasquez standing there with her hand on the holster of her gun.
"Agent Danvers? Where do you think you're going with Supergirl?" Alex was a loss for words. She needed to leave now but she didn't want to hurt her friend.
"Vasquez, I need you to forget you saw me here. Please I am begging you, don't say anything about this to General Lane, please." she asked desperately.
The agent hesitated, but she trusted Agent Danvers more than anyone in the DEO, so if Alex needed her help, she would give it.
"Okay Danvers, you can trust me." Alex blinked gratefully at her and got into the vehicle with haste. Vasquez opened the door to let the car out, and Alex tore through the exit like a bat out of hell. Alex prayed that she would be able to get away fast enough without anyone noticing, and since she had no way of knowing, she just kept going.
Kara stared at Alex, surprised her plan actually worked. But there was still so many questions that raced through her mind and Kara didn't think before she asked, "Did you change me out of my uniform?" Noticing that she wore a plain red shirt and jeans.
Alex blushed at this and stuttered, "I uh.. y-yeah I just grabbed some from the back in case of an undercover mi- mission." Kara didn't notice her stammering and continued on with her questions.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm thinking Coast City."
"What if someone spots you?"
"Look in the glove compartment." Alex smirked. Kara opened the compartment and was shocked at the neat arrangement of objects in it. There was a scarlet wig that was longer than Alex's hair but not as long as Kara's. There was a passport and a wallet that contained a fake ID with a credit and debit card. Many other small objects occupied the compartment and Kara cocked an eyebrow looking at Alex saying, "Have you done this before?"
Alex laughed and shook her head, saying she always came prepared in case of serious emergencies. "Oh by the way, I got these for you." Alex pulled a pair of glasses from her bag and handed them to her alien. They looked almost exactly like Kara's but not quite.
"You made me a second pair?" the blonde inquired.
"Yeah. I planned ahead for you too, you know just in case we had to run away together." Alex responded. Kara's face grew concerned and she began to think about what this all meant.
"Oh God Alex, why did you do this? You'll be arrested along with me and I can't let you be imprisoned for me!"
"Kara, I won't lose you, got it? If keeping you with me meant losing my job and being thrown in a cell, then I would do it in a heartbeat." Kara opened her mouth to argue but quickly shut it as she felt her chest start to bubble with emotions she never let see the light of day.
"Thank you Alex." was all she said and held Alex's hand which wasn't on the wheel. The brunette welcomed it and smiled.
"So where are we now?" the blonde asked.
"We're getting close to Central City. We'll stay the night at a motel outside of the city and go on a supply run in the morning okay?"
Kara nodded and settled into her seat, not letting Alex's hand go.
