Chap 3

Kara slowly rolled onto her stomach and began crawling towards the control panel. She reached out with her hand and pulled herself forward. Pain erupted through her body as she dragged herself along the floor. Kara noticed the veins on the back of her hand were dark and slightly popping out; she fought back the feeling of nausea and continued to crawl towards the control panel. Once Kara was directly under the panel she used the wall and what little strength she had left to pull herself to her feet. Sweat ran down her face and her breathing was heavy. Her vision began to blur as she reached for the controls. She stepped forward but her legs buckled beneath her own weight and she dropped to the floor. Kara's world turned dark.

Hank could hear the sound of a struggle coming from the opposite side of the prisoner cells. He and agent Reynolds rushed forward. As they turned the corner they saw two agents trying to restrain the last surviving member of the trio. The hostile managed to break free from its restraints, grab one of the agents and throw him down the corridor. The hostile grabbed the second agent but Hank quickly wrapped his arms around the hostile's torso and pulled him backwards. The two crashed into the wall but Hank tightened his grip as the other agents tried securing the hostiles hands. The hostile kicked out, send agent Reynolds crashing to the floor. Hank kicked the hostile on the back of the knee forcing them both to tumble forward. Agent Reynolds threw himself onto the hostiles legs and held them tight. Hank took a blow to the face but quickly shook it off and delivered a few punches of his own. The hostile lay motionless and the team quickly lifted the hostile off the ground and locked him in a nearby cell.

Hank stared into the cell as he rubbed his jaw with his hand "What happened" He asked the agent.

The agent shrugged "He was fine one minute but when we passed the master jailer's cell he went crazy."

"The jailer has plenty of enemies down here sir" Agent Reynolds added

Hank nodded "Agent Reynolds, have that cut looked at" Hank said before heading back down the corridor and away from the cells. The agent felt the blood on his forehead "Yes Sir."

Hank walked into the CT control room "Where's Agent Danvers?"

"I'm still waiting for her" Dr Morrell replied "I've sent a nurse to go get her"

Hank frowned and shook his head before leaving the room. Alex could be stubborn he thought to himself as he headed to her room. He noticed the DEO nurse walking towards him "We're is agent Danvers"

"She's not in her room and she hasn't arrived for her scan" The nurse replied

Hank quickly pulled out his cell phone and dialled Kara's number. There was no answer; he tried calling Alex's number but the call went straight to voice mail.

Bang...bang...bang.

Hank tilted his head in the direction of the banging and started to walk in the direction it was coming from. He heard a women's voice calling from behind the door to his left. He listened carefully "Agent Vasquez?" He called.

"Sir...I'm locked inside"

Hank pulled on the door handle but was unable to open the door. "Vasquez step away from the door" Hank called before raising his foot and kicking the door open. He saw relief wash over agents Vasquez face as she stepped towards him. "What Happened?" he asked as he noticed a small bruise forming on the side of her face.

"It was Danvers. She attacked me and locked me in here"

"Why would she..."

"She didn't seem herself. There was something off about her"

"What about Supergirl?"

"I haven't seen her; she wasn't with Alex"

Concern rose within Hank. "Get to the control room and check the security footage around Alex's room. I want to know where they went."

"Yes Sir" Agent Vasquez quickly headed to the control room.

Hank headed back towards Alex's room; he stopped outside the training room and stared at the door. Something didn't feel right; he turned and opened the door. The room was lit up in green; he rushed over to the control panel and almost tripped over Kara's motionless body. "Kara" he called. Hank quickly turned the power off and knelt down at her side. He checked for a pulse before lifting her limp body up into his arms and headed to sun bed.

Kara slowly opened her eyes and waited for her vision to clear. Her memories came flooding back "Alex!" Kara said as she pushed herself up.

"Take it easy" Hank stepped in front of Kara and placed his hands on her shoulders to help steady her. "You've been out for a couple of hours, you need to..."

"Where's Alex" Kara interrupted.

Hank stared at Kara "We were able to track her back to the City but then we lost her. I have a team looking for her now"

"Why aren't you out there looking" Kara asked as she stood. She felt dizzy but shook the feeling off and steadied herself.

"I thought it would be best if I stayed here with you. Do you remember what happened?"

Kara thought for a moment and fought back the tears "It's not Alex" She finally said "something has her trapped inside her own body, it called itself Faora." Kara wiped a tear from her cheek. "I have to find her" Kara said as she brushed past Hank.

"Kara wait" Hank called after her "We need to find out more information on this Faora"

"I'm not leaving Alex out there with that thing inside her"

"I don't like the thought of Alex being trapped..." Hanks voice broke a little but he quickly composed himself "The master jailer could have some information on Faora; something that can help save Alex."

"Then go ask him" Kara replied as she headed for the exit

"We both know he'll only talk to you. Finding out what we're up against is going to be a lot more useful then flying around the city looking for someone who doesn't want to be found."

Kara stopped in her tracks and lowered her head; she knew Hank was right. "Fine, I'll talk to the jailer if you agree to send more agents to look for Alex."

"I already have all my agents searching for her" Hank replied.

Kara half smiled at Hank before heading to the master jailer's cell.
