An Affair chapter 3: Indigo
Well at least I had sorted Alex's mum. Now thing I had been dreading the most was happening this morning. I woke up wishing that it wasn't morning. I got up and put on my DEO uniform trying not to wake Alex up whom was still asleep.
"Are you sure that you don't want me to come?" I heard Alex mumbled sleepily
"No, Alex darling. I have to deal with them before you go to the DEO." I leaned over and kissed her
"Good luck, I love you." Alex whispered as I walked out.
I went out to the Ute and started to drive it took everything in me not to turn around. I sighed give me alien's and dangerous weapons any day but this was just nerve wracking. I stopped outside the DEO and stepped out knowing that in a few seconds I would have to face the whole DEO.
I walked through the hallways and all of the agents stopped dead when they saw me and the moment I was gone they started to whisper.
"Agent Vasquez do you have the satellite readings?" She nodded and handed them to me
"Thanks." I said walking away I had no idea what to do
I sat down at my desk to sort through some stuff. When suddenly some agents came running down gasping as they burst through my office.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OFF THIS!?" I roared at them, everyone knew that they shouldn't do that
"I'm sorry…sir…but…you have…to come…and see…this." They gasped fighting for air
"This had better be good." I growled pushing past them to the front of the DEO
When I saw what or rather who was on the screen I stopped dead.

I got up after J'onn had left for the DEO. It was strangely quite not having him around, by now I was so use to him being here. I made myself breakfast and sat down on the couch and watched the news.
I was flicking through the channels when I heard a knock on the door. I went up expecting it to be Kara or Mum. But when I saw who it was I tried to grab my gun. Suddenly I felt a blow to my head and I fell into unconsciousness.
"Well you were really easy to get human." Indigo snarled looking at Alex who was sprawled onto the ground
"It would be so easy to kill you now, but I want to get your little Martian friend and then I'll get rid of you." She leaned down snarling into Alex's ear
-00-
"Hello Martian." Indigo snakeily said to me I was in shock horror I thought that she was dead
"What do you want?!" I growled wondering why on earth she was contacting the DEO unless she was trying something
"You might want to be a bit more polite to me when you see who I've got." She moved to the side and to my shock I saw Alex.
She was sprawled on the floor in a cage. I saw blood on her head and she wasn't moving. I thought she was dead for a minuet but then I saw her breathing. I breathed out a bit when I knew she wasn't dead.
"Listen Martian I'm going to make this easy for you." She interrupted my thoughts and my eyes locked into hers.
"You in trade for her." She nodded towards Alex
"If you aren't at the place where you traded Astra for yourself by tonight, your girlfriend there gets killed." Then the connection brock and a blank screen was in front of him.
All I could do was stare at the screen in silence. I could hear that the agents were feeling awkward they were shuffling there feet and I heard on or two agents whisper about the choice that I was going to make.
Indigo had been smart she hadn't given him anytime to try and find them only enough time to make his choice and fly over there.
"J'onn I heard what happened!" Kara came running through the crowd of agents
"What are we going to do?" She asked him when she got there
"We don't do anything. I'm going over there by myself to get Alex back." I had made my decision I wasn't going to risk anyone else getting hurt. Because if this were another agent we would probably abandon them so I couldn't make an exception for Alex.
But as the person who had the choice of her life in my hands I was willing to die to get her out of there. I shoved my way through the muttering agents my head down as I walked past them.
I was going to get Alex out of there no matter what.

"We can't let Director J'onzz go there by himself. He's going to be killed." I exclaimed after he had walked out
I saw Lucy watch him go before standing up to say. "Okay I know normally we wouldn't disobey him but if you are willing we will go out there tonight and fight for both Agent Danvers and Director J'onzz." Lucy said to the crowd of agents
"But Director Lane, this is highly irregular." Norton's voice sounded from the group of agents that had gathered to listen to what she was saying
"I know. But we can't let both of them be killed. So Vasquez assemble a troop. Be ready to move out tonight."
"Lucy thank you, for that I can't let either one off them be hurt." I walked up behind her
"I can't either, luckily I think that the military won't be to annoyed it really pays to be the General's daughter. But I will willing go up against my father if it means that we'll save both Alex and J'onn."
"I am coming with you though, you do realize that." I put in
"I guessed. Now let's go Supergirl."

I walked out of an utter shocked DEO. I headed towards my apartment, I saw that my door was wide open I walked in and closed it. The TV was still on and I saw what would have been Alex's breakfast still lying on the bench.
I couldn't bring myself to do anything I just collapsed onto the couch and started to cry for Alex. I got a piece of paper and wrote a letter to Alex for I knew that I would be long gone by the time she comes here.
To Alex
By the time you read this I will be dead. I couldn't let you get killed by Indigo. I want to leave everything I own to you. Please forget about me and keep on living Alex. You and Lucy will be in charge of the DEO.
I am going to leave my first wife's wedding ring to you. I had been planning to propose to you tonight, but I know that now I'll never get to see you walk down the aisle towards me.
I love you Alex, I love you so much that I can't put it into words. Please have a good life even if I can't be a part of that.
I will love you forever,
J'onn
I wrote the letter and I put the ring beside it. I cried the whole time I left it on the bench where it would be seen. I took one last look at the place I had lived in for the past ten years and then I shifted into my true form and jumped out the window.
As I flew into the darkening sky I glanced back at my window and I tears ran down my eyes not frightened tears but one of regret. Knowing that I would never see Alex again after tonight.

"We're moving out. Okay everyone take your positions and when I give the signal fire at the aliens holding Alex captive." Lucy shouted at the agents
I flew above the meeting place trying to spot Alex. I watched as all the DEO agents spread out holding guns ready to fight.
I hid when I saw J'onn fly down he really was willing to die for her. I thought. I saw Indigo come out dragging Alex behind her like she was a doll. I had to stop myself from flying down there and grabbing Alex.
"Is this what you wanted?" Indigo shoved her forwards
"Let her leave and I'll give myself up without a fight." I heard J'onn say to he was looking at Alex
"J'onn don't even think about it." I heard Alex whisper
"Alex…" He trailed off not knowing what to say
"Kneel down Martian." I heard Indigo snarl and I saw J'onn obey
"No J'onn!" Alex screamed
"Fire!" Lucy's voice echoed commandingly through the air and suddenly it was a war zone
-00-
What the hell? I thought I had just kneeled down ready to get the death blow when I heard Lucy's voice. I saw that the DEO was firing at Indigo who had not expected the attack.
"Alright then." Indigo grabbed Alex and I was about to move when Kara came flying through the air and punched Indigo
"Supergirl?" I gasped in astonishment but Indigo hit her with a kryptonite blade suddenly other kryptonians were out fighting.
I saw that the DEO were winning but Indigo was heading towards Alex. I jumped at her and in an instant we were fighting.
"Get her out of here!" I screamed at Kara whom had just recovered from the blast but instead of obeying my orders she came over and helped me with Indigo.
Indigo realized that she couldn't win this fight so she swung out and I felt her blade hit me. Sharp, hot pain I felt as she cut into my side I fell onto the ground. I had to get up but the pain was to much but I saw the DEO was losing.
"Get them out of here!" She yelled and I felt some agents picking me up and carrying me on the special stretcher for me and before I blanked out I turned my head to see that Alex was being picked up and taken too.
"Retreat!" I heard Lucy yell I was loaded into one of the vehicles and I turned to see that Alex was lying next to me.
"Alex." I said before I finally blanked out and fell into pitch black darkness.
