Chapter 8: Of Course It's You
Adam had been calling Kara's name over the phone but wasn't getting any response.
"Kara please talk to me." Adam had never been so scare in his life. What was happening? Had she been hurt during a fight? What was going on?
After about a minute of getting no response from Kara he finally gave up. The only thing he could do now was go get that letter.
Adam made his way over to Kara's apartment. She had once told him that her spare key was just above the door, on the frame. So he felt above him and sure enough there it was. He felt kind of weird coming into Kara's apartment and going through her bedroom but he did have her permission
He made his way over to Kara's bedside table and opened the drawer. He had to move some stuff around but he soon found an envelope with his name on it. Adam put everything back and made his way to the kitchen table. He sat down and placed the envelope in front of him. He didn't move to open it, he just looked at it.

"Kara please wake up!" Alex's voice echoed through the training room but fell on deaf ears. Kara had slipped into a deep sleep, it was her bodies way of trying to protect her. Kara had been out for a little over 15 minutes and Alex was beginning to fear that Kara may never wake. "Kara, open your eyes."
Alex put her head in her hands, how had this happened? They were just supposed to be training, it shouldn't have brought about a life or death situation. If Alex hadn't asked for this training session Kara wouldn't be laying in a room filled by a deadly amount of kryptonite.
"Alex," Winn called from the computer he had been typing on, non-stop for over 2 hours.
"What?" Alex walked over to him.
Winn just pointed at his screen. There was a map of the DEO and on the map there was a blinking red dot.
"Is that..." Alex began but didn't say anything else, she just stared at the dot.
"Yeah," Winn nodded.
"Nicely done Mr. Schott." A voice spoke over the coms. "You found me."
"Oh we're going to do a lot more then just find you." Alex threatened.
"Agent Danvers I'd be a little bit more careful with your threats. I'm the one with all the power here." Nightflock said with a laugh.
"What do you want?" Winn asked, his face now held a permanent glare.
"I'm glad you asked Mr. Schott. Here are my terms, I've been hired to kill Supergirl if you can match what my employer is paying me, I'll free Supergirl and she'll get to live. If not.." Nightflock informed them. "Well I don't think I really need to tell you what will happen."
"We're going to find you, you son of a bitch." Alex barked.
"Are you sure I didn't allow Mr. Schott here to find my location? He's good I'll give him that much. But not that good." Nightflock gave another laugh. "You have 30 minutes to give me what I want or I'll turn the kryptonite levels up to it's max power and well you know what will happen if I do that."
Alex was so furious that she didn't know what to say. She glanced over to the computer screen and just as she did so the red dot disappeared.
"Oh and before I forget if you try to find me, I'll kill her."
There was a harsh laugh before the coms went dead. Alex slammed her hand into the desk. "Damnit!"
Winn looked like he could throw the computer he was working on across the room.
"How the hell can we match what his employer is paying him if we don't even know what it is?" Alex asked in frustration.
Just then every computer screen in the DEO went black, except for the main screen that was showing Kara and the screen was working on. However his screen wasn't how he had it, instead all that was on the screen was the number 2million.
Alex could feel all the pent-up emotions she was feeling beginning to boil over. She turned to an agent that was standing by her. "Call Director Henshaw and don't stop calling until he answers the damn phone."
"Ma'am wont that get me fired?" The agent asked
"Does it look like I give a damn?" Alex spat. "Call the Director!"
The agent quickly walked over to his desk and picked up his phone. He began to call Hank.
"Winn what are we going to do?" Alex asked him, keeping her eyes trained on her sister.
"Alex, I don't…" Winn began but he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do. He felt stuck and useless. It was his fault Kara was still in that room and there wasn't anything he could do about it.

Adam finally got sick of just staring at the envelope and picked it up. He turned it over and began to open it. He pulled out the folded pieces of paper, with shacking hands he unfolded them and began to read:
Adam,
I really don't even know why I'm writing this, because you'll never read it. Tonight, well I guess the night I wrote this was the night I had tried to tell you my secret and you stopped me. You told me you wanted me to want to tell you. I do want to tell you but I'm worried about how you're going to react. This is something very few people know about me. But I promise I didn't keep this from you because I didn't trust you. I trust you more then you will ever know.
I'm sorry I'm rambling. Adam, I'm just going to come out an say it, I'm Supergirl. If you react like some of the other people in my life that know, you wont believe me at first. I know it seems crazy but I'm sure if you just think about it it'll all make sense.
Think about all the times I had to skip out at random moments. Or think about our second first date, Bizarro didn't take me by random. She took me because of who I am. I was able to fight her off and get away. I tried to breakup with you that night because I didn't want to put you in danger.
Adam, I'm sorry to just spring this on you all at once. But if you found this you were either going through my room (shame on you if that's the case) or something has happened to me. If it's the second option I'm either dead, or dying and I wasn't given the chance to tell you this all in person. You need to know that I didn't set out to be killed, however I have always felt the need to help others and if I have to die while doing that, then it's worth it.
Adam, I love you! You are the one person who I felt a connection to right off the bat. I've never dated someone like you and I'm so glad I've gotten to have you in my life even if it wasn't for very long. If you want to know anything else call my sister Alex. She can tell you everything. Her number is written on the back of this paper. She wont want to tell you at first but just show her this letter, she'll know that this is what I wanted.
I love you!
Kara
Adam sat there, reading and rereading the letter. Kara was hurt or dead and there was nothing he could do about it. He quickly flipped the page over and called the number on the back.
xxSupergirlxx
Alex sat staring at the screen, Kara hadn't moved or woken up in what felt like hours. They weren't having any luck on contacting Hank and they were running out of time. That psychopath was going to kill Kara in less then 15 minutes if they didn't give him $2 million. The DEO didn't have that kind of money. They were a secret organization, the government wouldn't give them that much money.
Just as Alex was about to throw her chair across the room her phone began to ring. She pulled it but she didn't recognize the number. Alex wouldn't normally answer calls from numbers she didn't know but she did anyway.
"Agent Danvers." She answered.
"Hi, Alex?" A mans voice asked.
"Yes, look I've got some rather important stuff going on right now can I call you back?"
"Alex, this is Adam Foster."
Alex could feel her heart drop into her stomach. "Adam. I'm sorry, I don't know what Kara told you but I really can't give you any info on what's going on."
"I know who she is." Adam informed her. "I know she's Supergirl. Please Alex, tell me what's happened."
"Adam I really can't. I'm sorry I've got to go." Alex hung up her phone. Had Kara told him? How had he found out?
Alex sat for a moment, she felt so useless. There was absolutely nothing she could do to save her sister.
"Ma'am, I've got Director Henshaw!" The agent yelled in excitement. Alex flew out of her chair and ran over to the phone.
"Hank?" Alex asked.
"Alex, what's going on?" Hank's gruff voice came over the phone.
"We've got a hacker at the DEO. He's trapped Kara in one of the training room and is filling the room with kryptonite. He's demanded we give him $2milliion or he'll kill her." Alex cried into the phone.
"How long do you have?" Hank asked. She could hear a rush of air on the other end of the line. Hank was flying to them.
"About 15 minutes now."
"I'm about 3 minutes out. We'll figure this out Alex."
xxSupergirlxx
Hank arrived in the amount of time he said he would.
"Agent Danvers." Hank walked up to Alex. He fought off the urge to pull her into a hug. He could tell she was hurting. He thought of both girls like they were his daughters and it killed him to see either one of them in pain let alone both of them.
"Hank thank god."
"What have you found Mr. Schott?" Hank asked noticing the tech genius.
"I've got his location pinned again. But he's told us that if we try to find him, he'll kill Kara." Winn looked over at the director.
"Is there a way to manually turn off the kryptonite's control panel?" Hank asked, his eyes had found Kara.
Winn gave a short laugh. "The only way to do that is to do it inside the room and Kara's not in any condition to do that."
"I can get into the room." Hank informed him.
"Hank…" Alex began to protest before Winn interrupted.
"If you can get into the room, can't you get Kara out of there?" Winn asked hopefully.
"It doesn't work that way Mr. Schott. Can you kill the cameras for both us and this Nightflock guy?"
Winn looked at Hank skeptically. "Yeah, but that's the only way we know that Kara's okay…"
"Shut them down." Hank ordered. "Alpha team 1!"
Hank turned to look out at his agents as a group of 5 agents stepped forward. "Where's Miner?"
"No idea sir." One of the agents stepped forward.
Hank shook his head. "Agent Matthews!"
The man that had gone to get Winn stepped forward. "Sir."
"When Mr. Schott here tells us the cameras are down you'll take your team to find this SOB." Hank ordered.
"I'm going with them Hank." Alex informed him. Hank studied her for a moment.
"Are you sure you're good?" Hank asked.
"I'm good." Alex said with a confidence only Alex Danvers could accomplish.
"Agent Matthews, your team will be following the lead of Agent Danvers." Hank ordered keeping his eyes trained on Alex.
"Yes Sir." Matthews called.
"Mr. Schott?" Hank walked up behind Winn.
"30 seconds." Winn informed him. "Sir, Nightflock is on the move."
"No time to waste, go now!" Hank turned to Alex as he gave his ordered. She grabbed her sidearm and ran with the rest of the team following behind her.
"Cameras down!" Winn called, Hank grabbed an earpiece and made his way to the training room. He looked around to make sure no one was around and he phased through the door.
He ran first up to Kara to make sure she was alive, she was. Then he moved over to control panel. "Walk me through this Mr. Schott."
"You're in there?" Winn's voice came over the coms. "How in the…"
"Focus!" Hank yelled knowing the hacker already knew something was up and could rise the kryptonite levels at any moment.
"Right." Winn was brought back to the task at hand. "Take off the front panel. Underneath you'll notice a bunch of colored wires."
Hank followed the instructions and sure enough there was some red, green, blue, and yellow wires.
"You'll need to cut the…" But before Winn could tell him which wire to cut a voice cut him off.
"I warned you not to try to find me. Say goodbye to Supergirl!." The voice of Nightflock informed them.
"Which one am I cutting!" Hank yelled.
"The blue, cut the blue!"
Hank was beginning to feel the effects of the kryptonite. He had a theory that everyone could be affected by the stuff if there was enough of it. He found the blue one but then stopped.
"There's two blue wires." Hank informed Winn.
"That's not possible." Winn no longer sounded as confident as he had before.
Just as Hank was about to inform him that there definitely was two blue wires, Kara began to shack.
"She's having a seizer." Hank ran over to Kara, he moved her on her side. "Winn what the hell am I supposed to cut?"
Winn didn't way anything for a moment. "The green. Cut the green."
"Are you sure, you seemed pretty positive about blue."
"Cut the damn wire!" Winn yelled. He would normally never yell but his friend was dying.
Hank didn't waste another second. He cut the green wire and held his breath. At first nothing happened but then the green lights slowly began to dime until there was no trace of green light anywhere in the room. "It worked. Thank you Mr. Schott."
Hank could hear Winn give out a sharp breath, one that Hank was positive the tech genius had been holding in.
Hank quickly ran back over to Kara, she had stopped seizing but she was still unconscious.
"Alpha 1 report." Hank called over the coms.
xxSupergirlxx
Alex and the team moved in the direction of the hacker. No one said a word as they moved. Alex controlled everyone's movements with the slightest movement of her hand.
After about a minute Winn's voice came to life in Alex's ear.
"You're right next to him. He should be straight ahead."
Alex didn't respond, the rest of the team heard as well and everyone waited for Alex's signal to move. She motioned for Matthews to go to the other side of the hall. She counted down on her fingers. 5…4…3…2…
Matthews threw the door open and the team rushed in. There was a man sitting at a computer with his back to the room.
"Don't you dare move." Alex threatened. "Show me your hands."
"Your sister should be dead by now." The man gave a sharp laugh. Why did Alex recognize that voice? It wasn't the same voice as the one coming over their coms.
"Show me your hands!" Alex yelled. The man still didn't move. Alex looked on either side of her and motioned for the agents on the end to move around to the front.
Both Agents kept their guns trained on the man until they moved to the front of him. They both dropped their guns.
"Ma'am." The agents on the right spoke.
Alex moved around, she had to stop herself from gasping. It was Agent Miner but…
"Oh my god." Alex walked over to him. There was blood everywhere. "Where are you!?"
There was a sharp laugh that was coming from the computer on the dead agents lap. Alex picked it up.
"Show yourself you coward." Alex could physically feel the anger just radiating off herself and the other agents in the room.
A face popped up on the screen. "Why if it isn't Agent Danvers."
"I should have known." Alex gave a sharp laugh of her own.
"Oh that wouldn't have been nearly as fun if you knew it was me." The man smirked.
"You've clamed this whole time that it was Kara that was the danger, but from where I'm standing the only danger I see is you." Alex spat.
"That agent who is dead, yeah he's the one they call Nightflock." The man informed her.
"Miner was a great Agent!" Alex barked. "I don't believe you."
"Well he's the one I hired to kill your sister. Do you think Maxwell Lord would pay for anything but the best?" Lord asked, he was still smirking.
"You better pray I never get my hands on you." Alex threatened in a deadly calm voice.
"Alpha 1 report." Hanks voice barked over their earpieces.
"Give my best wishes to our sister… if she lived that is." Lord gave another sharp laugh before the screen went blank.
"Hank, is she okay?" Alex asked.
"She's alive." Hank informed her. Alex let out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding. "Do you have him?"
"It was Lord. He's killed Agent Miner." Alex informed him. "There's no sign of Lord."
"Get back to the control room. We haven't gotten her out of the woods yet."

Adam walked into his mothers office holding the letter in his hands.
"Adam, what can I do for you?" Cat asked as her son walked in. "By the way why is Kiera not at work?"
"Did you know?" Adam asked, he didn't get any answers from Alex and the only person he could think that Kara would tell was his mother.
"I'm sorry?" Cat looked at her son questioningly. What had gotten into him.
"Did you know that it's her? Did you know she's Supergirl." Adam lowered his voice, he didn't want to shout out his girlfriends secret identity to the people she work with.
"Adam I honestly have no idea what you are going on about." Cat stood up and walked over to the other side of her desk. She noticed the letter for the first time. "What is that?"
"A letter." Adam thought about handing it to his mother so she could read it but something was holding him back. What the hell was he doing, he couldn't out Kara. Especially to the women who was known as the Queen of All Media. "Just forget about it."
Adam started to walk out. "Adam! What the hell is going on?"
Adam was fighting off the tears since he had gotten that call from Kara. He didn't want to breakdown in front of his mother so he just kept walking. He didn't allow himself to breakdown until he'd gotten to his apartment. And when he broke, he broke hard. What the hell was going on? Had he just lost the love of his life?
