Chap 9

Both Kara and the Jailer landed just outside the cabin. Thankfully Hank had already called ahead and relieved the agents on guard. Who knows how they would of reacted if they saw the Jailer fully suited approaching them.

"You first" The jailer said as he opened the door for Kara to enter. Kara watched the Jailer as she entered the cabin and made her way to the centre of the room. She began to pull up the floor boards and reveal the ship below.

"You know I did have another way in." The Jailer said

"My ways quicker" Kara replied as she flew through the hole and towards the ship. The Jailer followed and examined the hole in the roof of his ship.

"Can you fix it" Kara asked as she hovered above the ship.

"I can repair the internal damage but you will need to repair the hole."

Kara examined the hole before bending the metal back into shape; she used her heat vision to weld it together.

"I'm impressed" The Jailer said before entering his ship, followed closely by Kara. She watched as the Jailer began checking switches and the contents of his ship.

"So, where's this device." She asked but the Jailer didn't answer. Instead he continued checking his ship. "Hey!" Kara called. The Jailer looked back at Kara before moving to the opposite side of his ship. Kara's heartbeat quickened as he disappeared around a corner; she slowly followed and turned the corner. She watched as the Jailer entered a code and pulled open a small metal door. He turned and revealed the device to Kara.

"This will help us get what we want." The Jailer placed the device over his left arm and attached it to his suit. He looked back at Kara "You look worried, did you think I would betray you?"

"For a moment I did."

"I gave you my word and I will honour it."

"Thank you"

The Jailer thought for a moment "Why are you risking so much for this human." He asked.

Kara hesitated before answering "She's my sister."

"Sister" The Jailer repeated and Kara nodded. "I think the others are right when they say you're more human than Kryptonian" The Jailer chuckled.

Kara frowned "Do you have family?"

The Jailer stopped in his tracks "I have. That's why I need to return home."

"So you know how it feels"

The Jailer nodded "We will get your sister back."

"And you will see your family again."

The Jailer smiled "I'd better get to work fixing my ship."

"It's still going straight to voice mail" Eliza said as she placed her phone back on the table.

Faora kicked the empty chair in front of her and it flew across the kitchen.

"Who are you?" Eliza asked as she fought to stay in control of her emotions. She noticed the gun on the edge of the table as Faora turned and walked away from her.

Faora glared at Eliza, if she didn't need her she would have gladly broke the women's neck. She jumped up on the bench and perched herself on the edge "You really should be more concerned with what I will do to Alex if Kara doesn't do as I've asked."

"If you hurt my daughters"

Faora chuckled "You'll what"

Eliza dived forward, grabbed the gun and pointed it Faora; her hands began to shake as she looked into her daughters eyes.

"We both know you're not about to shoot your daughter." Faora said as she pushed herself off the bench.

"You are not my daughter"

Faora held her hand over her heart "Now that hurt...deeply."

"Where is my daughter?" Eliza shouted

"She's right here" Faora moved towards Eliza.

"Stop...just stop. What have you done to Alex?"

Faora reached forward and grabbed the gun from Eliza's. "You should have took the shot" Faora said before hitting the butt of the gun against Eliza's head; she dropped to the floor and blood poured from the side of her head.

Faora stepped over Eliza's unconscious body and retrieved her phone from the table; she dialled Hanks number and he answered after four rings.

"Mrs Danvers" Hank said

"More like Agent" Faora replied.

"Faora, what have you done, where's Eliza"

"She's still alive, for now."

"If you hurt her..."

"Save your threats Martian. Give me what I want and I will let Eliza live."

Hank hesitated "I will need time to repair the ship."

"You have two hours and Martian, if you try anything Alex will be the one who suffers." Faora

"No tricks, we just want Alex and Eliza back."

"I'll see you there" Faora crushed the phone in her hand before picking Eliza from the floor. "We're going on a little road trip" Faora said as she carried Eliza's motionless body to the car.

"Are you almost done" Kara asked.

"Almost" The Jailer replied as he rose from the floor and sat in the pilot seat. He began flicking switches "Come one" He said through gritted teeth. "Come on" The power flickered but the engines wouldn't start; the Jailer punched the controls as the ships power cut out.

"Take it easy, I'm sure you'll get it started."

"This would have been easier if your sister hadn't blown a hole in the roof" The Jailer snapped.

"She wouldn't have had to if you hadn't gone on a killing spree and kidnapped me" Kara snapped back. Kara turned and took a few minutes to compose herself "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap."

"There are a few more things I can check."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Kara" Hank called from above before the Jailer could answer. Hoping Hank had good news, Kara left the ship and flew up to the surface

"Have you found her?"

"She called" Hank stared at Kara "She has Eliza"

"What, how...why would she..." Kara struggled to form a sentence as her mind raced from one scenario to the other. She raced outside and was about to take flight when Hank called after her.

"Kara wait...Faora is coming to us."

"What... why?"

"She thinks I'm given her the ship"

"But what about Eliza, she could be hurt."

"As long as she believes we're given her the ship, she won't hurt Eliza or Alex."

Suddenly a loud bang exploded around them and both Kara and Hank fell to the floor. They were covered in the remains of the cabin as the Jailers ship broke through and hovered above them. Seconds felt like hours as Kara stared up at the ship hoping the Jailer wouldn't go back on his word and leave without helping Alex. Kara's eyes followed the ship as it flew to her right and landed thirty feet away from, relief washed over.

The ships door opened and the Jailer stepped outside smiling "It works" He shouted.

Hank and Kara got to their feet and walked over to the Jailer. "You did it." The Jailer nodded as he stared back at his ship, clearly impressed with himself.

"Now all we need is Faora." The Jailer said.

"We don't need to worry about locating her, she's coming to us" Kara replied.

"Why would she do that?"

"She wants your ship"

"There is no way I'm given her my ship. We had a deal."

"We're not given her your ship." Hank interrupted "We will still use the portal to separate her from Alex. Faora doesn't know your here, we can use that to our advantage."

"How much time do we have?" The Jailer asked.

"Just over a hour."

"I better get everything prepared for her arrival."
