Alliedstasis - Kara will not have much sympathy for them either, but maybe just a tad bit more for Maggie.
Hope you guys enjoy :)
Maggie arrived on sight with her team of half-police, half-DEO agents, and loaded her gun. If they were at the site holding Kara, she'd need all the ammo she could get. They quietly stalked up to the entrance of what appeared to be a large warehouse. Everyone had their guns ready, and one of the officers kicked the door down.
They were immediately met with resistance upon breaking in to the building, which tipped Maggie off that they were at the right place. Alex is going to be pissed that she wasn't the one to find her.
She filed the thought away for another time and focused on taking down the Cadmus agents in front of her.

Alex and J'onn had gathered around the second site, preparing to make their forced entry. Upon one of the agents kicking down the door, they all filed in. Alex got a strange feeling of worry in her stomach as she realized there was no resistance. That meant Maggie must have found her. She cursed under her breath as she surveyed the building.
It looked like Winn was right, this was some kind of Cadmus building. There was abandoned tech strewn around, but no people inside. It looked as if the building had been abandoned recently. Alex turned to J'onn. "She's at Maggie's site. Can you fly us there?"
J'onn shook his head. "By the time we get there, it'll be too late. Maggie's team will already have gotten her and put her on a med evac. We need to focus on gathering up what we can from here, and get back to the DEO as soon as possible."
Alex reluctantly nodded in understanding before she briskly went to go pick up some blood samples she had stumbled upon.

The detective and her team had just finished the last of the agents at the entryway. They split off into three groups in an effort to find Kara faster. Maggie sprinted down an open hallway to a large room in the back. They were all moving fast.
Kara did not have much time left.
She heard an agent from one of the other two teams speaking into the comms. "We've located Henshaw and restrained him. We're going to take him back to the transport vehicle and come back for reinforcements as soon as possible."
Maggie could hear one of the fellow agents she was with responding, but did not pay them any attention.
She had just stumbled upon a door with some kind of green substance lining the outside. She turned back to her team. "This is it."
With no hesitation, she kicked the door in.

Kara felt herself growing weaker as blood continued to pour out of her open wound. She knew that if she did not get help, she could die in minutes. Her body couldn't cope with the blood loss or the pain, and she could feel herself beginning to go into shock.
Lillian walked back into the room with a smile on her face, and a knife in hand. "Well, well, well. It appears you are on your last leg here." She gestured to her knife. "Guess I won't be needing this after all."
Kara grunted in pain, hands pressed up to her wound to stop the bleeding as much as she could. "No matter what happens to me, you'll never win, Lillian. When the DEO finds you, Cadmus will be finished."
Lillian snorted. "I'm afraid we'll already have everything we need by the time they arrive. Testing you and your blood has proven to be extremely helpful, and we'll be long gone with the data before the DEO even catches wind that you're gone. I still see that nobody has come to help you... Such a shame, isn't it?"
Kara felt everything catch up to her in that moment, and her body couldn't take it any longer. She stopped fighting, and let her eyes flutter shut. The last thing she heard before she passed out was the door slamming open.

Maggie walked in to a nightmare. She was suddenly glad Alex was not the one to find Kara. The first thing she saw was Kara laying on the ground, unconscious and possibly dead, with blood pooling out of her gunshot wound. Maggie felt panic rise up in her chest and clench her heart.
Her eyes scanned the room to find Lillian staring at them, green knife in hand. Maggie didn't hesitate to shoot her in the leg. She barked out orders to the rest of her team. "Restrain her and get her to the transport vehicle. The rest of you, get the med evac ready ASAP."
Her team burst into motion, and Maggie made a beeline for Kara's cell. She found the keys and jammed them into the lock, furiously trying to open the door, as Kara bled out inside.
She finally got the cell to unlock and ripped the door open. Her heart sank as she looked around and saw how much blood Kara had lost. Maggie ran over to Kara and shook her, trying to wake her. "Kara? Kara, please. You have to wake up. You have to..."
Kara felt her eyes flutter open, and she was met by the worried face of the detective. "Mag- Maggie?"
Maggie nodded furiously as she helped Kara sit up. "Listen, you've lost too much blood. We have to get you out of here right now, and to the DEO. That means you gotta stay with me, okay? I can't have you dying on me, Little Danvers."
Kara nodded tiredly. She attempted to stand, and with Maggie's help, she was up on both feet. Kara leaned heavily into Maggie, barely able to support any of her own weight, and Maggie grunted with the effort.
They moved as quickly as they could to the nearest exit. Maggie turned to Kara. "How you doing, Kara?"
Kara shook her head, as she slowed to a stop. "I can't do it anymore, Maggie... I'm too tired..." Upon hearing that, Maggie felt all of Kara's weight slump against her. She immediately called for help from anybody close enough to run over. One of the DEO agents came sprinting over and grabbed Kara. They practically dragged her into the med evac.
She was placed on a stretcher, and immediately someone set to stopping the blood loss. Maggie just grabbed Kara's hand, tears leaving her eyes.
"Please be okay."
As always, have a blessed day :)
