Alpha Team arrived before Beta Team and started unloading their gear from the chopper. As Beta Team began to touch down, gunshots were heard. Everyone immediately took cover and unholstered their firearms.

Alex scanned the surroundings and found at least 50 Cadmus agents guarding the entryway. She aligned her gun's sight with one of them, but couldn't get off a successful shot because her hands were shaking.

Alex, snap out of it. You are the best of the best, and you need to have J'onn's back, along with the rest of the DEO agents. Get your shit together and show 'em how it's done. For Dad.

For Kara.

Alex raised her gun once again and landed a perfect shot, immediately dropping an enemy agent to the ground.

The DEO and Cadmus agents engaged in a shootout, heavy casualties on each side. Finally, the last Cadmus agent fell and the DEO teams regrouped.

J'onn commanded,"Plan still stands. Agent Brady, take your team and clear those floors. Once you're finished, make contact on comms and meet us back out here."

Agent Brady nodded and began to stealthily sneak over to the entrance with his team.

Satisfied, J'onn turned back around and addressed his agents. We're splitting off into three teams of two. We lost four agents out there already, and that's far too many. Be careful."

He waited for their nods of affirmation before continuing.

"Danvers, with me. We'll be checking the prisoner wings, and taking out any remaining guards left in the facility. Jackson and Parker, to the control room. Download anything you find onto hard drives and get out as soon as possible. Rose and Charles, clear the rest of the rooms to make sure they are empty, and be on standby to help either our teams or Brady's. Stay in communication."

All the agents gave crisp "Yes, sir's," and they all headed off towards their respective destinations.

J'onn and Alex arrived at the first prisoner wings, after taking out five additional guards. The first room was completely empty. They continued searching until they found something in an abnormally large room.

It was different from the others. The walls were lined with a green substance, and there was a small cell in the back corner of the room.

Also lined with green.

J'onn and Alex split off and began to examine the rest of the contents littered in the room.

J'onn was horrified to find a metal table with restraints attached. He also found some kind of electrical shock machine, and an empty oxygen tank. Whoever was stuck in this cell must have had it really rough. What could they possibly be doing to someone with all of these torture instruments?

On the other side of the room, Alex was growing sicker as she surveyed the contents of a case she had found. Inside, she found empty syringes of various sizes, along with green knives. They appeared old and used up due to their rust and blood stains.

Alex was sick to her stomach.

God, I can't believe these are the people who had Kara. I can only imagine what the person in this room had to go through. I really hope for all our sakes that Kara was far, far away from here.

As she turned to tell J'onn her half of the room was clear, something caught her eye.

She called J'onn over so they could examine it together.

When he arrived by her side, he spoke. "I have my suspicions on what this green substance is, but do still need to take some samples to examine in the lab. I really hope I'm wrong about this."

Alex gave a distant half-nod, distracted by what had caught her eye. "I'll take some of those knives back to the lab and see what I can find out." She and J'onn then walked toward what looked like a paper in the corner of the room.

Right by the cell.

After closer examination, she saw there was more. She found a note, with a flash drive to the left.

But what she saw next stopped her heart.

It was a picture.
