A/N: So there's been action before this, but this is when the real deal begins. So be prepared.

Alex scoops up her phone and holds it to her ear again as she jogs towards the control center where J'onn looks at her with confusion and worry.

"Why do you think that?" Alex asks her girlfriend through the line. Maggie just holds the phone out to the sounds of rumbling, her eyes staring at the small rocks dropping from the ceiling.

"That's really not good, hold on." Alex puts the phone down slightly as J'onn approaches her.

"What's going on?" Alex glances back at the phone slightly before looking back at J'onn.

"Something happened with Kara. She accidentally flew to the tunnel. Inside of it. With Maggie," Alex explains as J'onn's eyebrows seem to rise higher with each new bit of info he gathers. "Kara's been weakened, she can't see. There's definitely Kryptonite in the tunnel." J'onn nods and starts to turn until he hears a sound coming from the other side of Alex's still open call.

"What was that?" J'onn asked, gesturing to the phone.

"Oh, the tunnel might be collapsing." J'onn gives her a look. "I'm sorry I probably should've mentioned that before." J'onn just shakes his head.

"It'll be easiest if I can quickly fly in and grab them both. Have a team ready in case it isn't that easy and for any possible injuries to be dealt with." Alex nods as J'onn starts walking towards the balcony outside of the DEO, his form changing to his martian body.

"Kara, I think we need to move," Maggie urges the whimpering blonde as she begins to stand. She grabs under Kara's armpits and attempts to lift her, the alien practically limp against her. She sets her back down to the ground before crouching beside her.

"Come on Kara, can you please try?" Kara shakes her head slightly.

"Hurts… makes me sick…" Kara responds causing Maggie to sigh sympathetically. Maggie's eyes jerk over in panic as a larger rock falls a few feet away.

"Please Kara, please try again." Maggie watches the girl with worried eyes as Kara slowly nods. Maggie nods back, ignoring the fact that Kara can't see her as she tries to lift Kara once more. Kara's heels create indents in the Earth as she tries to place and hold them beneath her. Maggie nearly has to set Kara down again before her feet meet full contact and she stands, leaning heavily against Maggie.

"Alright, we'll take this slow," Maggie reassures as she slowly takes a step over. Kara yelps quietly as she forces her leg to stretch out in front of her and puts her weight on it. Kara's unseeing eyes water as she swallows down the bile threatening to ruin this whole process. "Alright, another step." Maggie encourages as Kara takes another shaky step. The process keeps going for ten minutes before Kara feels too sick to move again. They'd only managed to move about four feet away from their original location. Kara dry heaves once more as she curls up in the dirt.

"Go…" Kara whispers, her dry mouth and aching throat making her nearly inaudible.

"What?" Maggie asks, not sure what Kara had said.

"Go… escape…" Maggie's eyes widen before she shakes her head.

"No Kara, I'm not going to leave you." Kara whimpers, tears splashing against the dirt below her.

"Alex-"

"Alex will need both of us. That's why we will both get out of here." Maggie says as she stands again. "You ready to try this again?" Kara nods, sitting herself up more. Maggie begins to help her up again before dropping her as a large boulder falls only a few feet away causing Maggie to yelp in fear and surprise. Maggie quickly pulls Kara up as she moves them much faster than last time, at some points even dragging Kara to do so.

"Come on Alex," Maggie whispers as she continues moving forward.

###############

J'onn speeds across the sky, his eyes scanning for the intended location. He feels a pang of guilt as he realises how much he has missed and enjoyed flying, felt guilty he was feeling good while two women he cared about were in danger. He blocks his thoughts and starts focusing on just the task. He notices the tunnel below (it was really hard to miss it) and begins his descent downwards. Hovering just a few feet off the ground he hears a click and sees something flinging towards him before he can dodge. Three darts lodge into his skin as he falls against the grass, his vision swimming as his consciousness fades. Before the full effects take over he sees the silhouette of a tall woman snickering at him as she grabs his ankles and drags into the tunnel.

Everything goes dark.

"J'onn have you found them yet?" Alex asks once again through the headset. Her eyes stare at the pinged location of J'onn, it hadn't moved for ten minutes. "J'onn! Are you at the tunnel?" Alex shouts urgently, fear and concern filling her. "Check it again Winn, make sure this isn't a glitch." Winn looks like he's about to protest, but instead does as he's told. The screen refreshes, the ping still in the same location as before. Alex breathes in heavily, attempting to calm herself. She turns toward the team of DEO agents awaiting her command.

"Seems something has gone wrong with the rescue plan. Let's head out and see what happened. We need to find out where J'onn went and rescue Maggie and Supergirl from the tunnel before it completely collapses. Be ready to face possible alien hostiles." The team nods, everyone following her as Alex starts walking towards the exit of the DEO.

####################

Maggie yells in frustration as they hit another dead end.

"We're never going to be able to get out of here!" Maggie yells at the stone wall, her fist hitting it before turning back towards Kara.

"How're you holding up?" Kara was really starting to worry her now, her talking had been less frequent and her body was covered in sweat that caused her blonde hair to stick to her face. Kara doesn't say anything, just simply shakes her head, Maggie understands anyways. Kara winces at ever rumble going through the tunnel, at every stone or boulder hitting the dirt, she was scared, Maggie could tell.

"I am really sorry," Kara says quietly, Maggie looking at her in confusion, "For scaring you earlier, with the flying." Maggie sighs.

"It wasn't your fault, and anyways I got to feel what actual flying feels like. Sort of." Kara smiles slightly, causing Maggie to smile as well.

"I should take you more safe flying sometime. I used to take Alex a lot when we were younger before…" A look of guilt crosses Kara's features.

"Before what?" Maggie asks as she walks over to sit next to Kara. She notices the pain and guilt in Kara's eyes, her detective instinct making her curious.

"Before Jeremiah was blackmailed into joining the DEO… and then killed." Alex had told her the story once before when Jeremiah was saved and then betrayed his family. She never mentioned Kara in the story though.

"Blackmailed how?"

"I'd been with them for almost a year when Hank, the real Hank, came to our home and threatened Eliza and Jeremiah that they were going to take me to the DEO. It wasn't as good of an organisation then, people didn't believe in good aliens," Kara takes a shuddering breath, "Jeremiah volunteered to work for the DEO if they didn't come after me. Later they said he'd died from a plane crash even though he was really killed by Hank." Maggie looks at her sympathetically.

"It wasn't your fault." Kara laughs brokenly at that.

"Who else is to blame for that situation? They were specifically after me." Maggie scoots closer to Kara and wraps an arm around her.

"You were young and new here. It was Hank's fault for that, he was the one that killed him, not you." Kara nods as she leans her head against Maggie's shoulder, her body relaxing slightly.

Then her eyes shoot wide open, she practically rockets herself and Maggie upwards as she pushes Maggie a few feet away, a boulder coming down and landing on Kara's cape, causing her to be jolted backward against it and slide to the ground as she yells out in pain. Maggie goes over to help, to help undo the cape around the blonde or to help with any injuries until she hears more rumbling. She looks up at the pile of rocks raining down and tries to run away from it. Smaller rocks hit her back and legs as she runs until one hits her directly on the back of her head.

She falls down, her eyes wandering as she tries to stand up again. More rocks rain down on her as her efforts are stopped. The last thing she hears before passing out is screaming.
