"But how?" Maggie said. "I mean, she is bullet proof, right? How could a needle get through her skin?"

J'onn nodded. "She is. But it looks like whatever gas they used on the both of you weakened Kara enough so that this needle could pass through her skin."

Maggie glared at the needle in J'onn's hand. "You can't be serious."

J'onn glanced over at her. "I assure you that I am. However this needle seems to be reinforced, stronger materials in its construction."

Maggie sighed. "Fine, whatever. How do we get them back?"

J'onn shook his head. "Not we, detective. Us. The DEO. We will get them back."

Maggie scoffed. "You can't be serious." J'onn's face didn't change. "Are you kidding me?!" she snarled. "I am the only one who saw what they changed her into. What she is now capable of. Your agents will not be able to handle her right now!"

J'onn nodded softly. "That might be so, but you are too close to the situation, and you do not have the required DEO training to accompany us on any rescue mission. So, if we need any more information from you detective Sawyer, we'll be in touch."

Maggie threw up her hands. "This is bullshit J'onn, and you know it." She snarled, staring him down. But his gaze did not waver. After a few long tense moments, Maggie scoffed again, turning on her heel and storming out of the DEO.

"I'll do my own investigation." She hissed as she jumped on her bike and sped off.

The first thing Kara noticed as she woke up was the concrete under her head. The gritty texture of it underneath her fingertips. The sharp smell of metal flooded her senses, making her wince slightly. She could hear muttering, off in the distance, but she couldn't make out any words, even if she had wanted to, not at that point. She opened her eyes slowly, noticing a red light flooding the room. She pushed herself up, sitting and looking around. She noticed a tall thug standing in front of the door to her cage. She rolled her eyes slightly, slowly trying to stand.

"What do you want?" she asked, sounding stronger than she felt.

Her question earned a quick glance from the thug-guard, before he began speaking into the radio on his shoulder.

Kara nodded, leaning against the bars. "Ah, I see." She said, motioning to the radio. "Cop wannabe, huh?" she grinned. "What happened, tough guy? Fail the police exam?"

The guard glowered at her, his hand tensing to reach for his side arm.

Kara laughed slightly. "Well someone here is smart enough to figure out that harnessing red solar energy will weaken me. But I'm betting it wasn't you, was it now?" she prodded.

The guard stepped forwards and banged on the bars.

Kara winced slightly, narrowing her eyes at him. "Come on muscles. Bet you can't even take me with this red sun keeping me down."

The guard reached through the bars, making to grab Kara by the neck, when a door slammed open, making way for the clicking of high heels on the concrete floor. Kara narrowed her eyes, straining in the harsh lightly. "You're dismissed." A voice hissed.

The guard dropped his head and nodded, leaving the room quickly.

"So," Kara said. "Do I finally get to see my host and thank them for the lovely accommodations? Because I must say, this is one of the nicer cells I've been in. Definitely in my top five." She said, glancing up at the red light glaring down on her. "Nice touch with the red sunlight too. Where did you get that one from? Lex Luthor? The internet?" Kara questioned.

"Your sister actually." The woman said, stepping into the light. She had short red hair, teased slightly, almost like bed-head. Her green eyes stared through Kara, and her lips were full and coloured with dark lipstick. "She is most helpful."

Kara narrowed her eyes. "Where is she?" she hissed.

The woman snapped her fingers, footsteps coming through the door. Alex moved next to the woman, eyes glazed over, as if there was no one in her body, like she was being controlled somewhere behind the scenes.

"What do you want with us?" Kara snarled.

The woman smirked. "Interesting that you're all out of funny little quips now, isn't it?" She began walking around the cage, trailing her fingers across the bars. "Well, little super-freak, instead of telling you, why don't we just show you." She motioned to a monitor on the wall, and it sprang on.

Welcome alien, to the wonderful world of death matches. We know it's not the most original concept, or name, but here, we strive to make gruesome, bloody, deadly entertainment for all species. And if you are seeing this video, that means that you will be joining us in your first match tomorrow evening.

The rules are simple. Fight to the death, whoever wins, gets to live another day. That's it.

Kara raised an eyebrow at the scarily cheerful video. "You realize that we just took down one of these rings, right?"

The woman scoffed. "What? That stupid little thing that Roulette was running? Please!" she laughed. "I have scoured the entire universe to find the most deadly beings in existence. You don't stand a chance." She glanced over at Alex. "Plus, I have the perfect solider now, thanks to you and your little detective friend." She said, running her fingers across Alex's shoulders. "Now she might stand up for a few battles, before someone kills her." she muttered, taking Alex's face in her hand and tilting her head side to side, examining her appearance. "But you," she laughed, glancing back at Kara. "With the red suns energy, you won't last five minutes with anyone."

Kara narrowed her eyes. "Someone will stop you." She hissed.

The woman glanced over at Kara and sighed. "Listen to me very carefully, you little maggot," she hissed. "The only way anyone could stop me is if I had a traitor on the inside. And I don't. Your little police detective won't be able to save you. So, if I were you, I wouldn't waste my energy on trying to break the hold on your sister, or trying to break out of the cell. I would focus my energy on trying not to get killed tomorrow night. Not that it'll help." She began walking towards the door, but stopped, her hand on the handle. "Oh, and by the way, your first opponent, is her." She said, nodding to Alex and closing the door behind her.
