Hi! It took me a long time to be back; believe me, a lot of things have happened in my life, and I mean A LOT. However, this isn't my story, so let's go with Supergirl.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters. They all belong to CW's Supergirl.

CHAPTER 1: Taken

…

"I'm sorry, Alex; I truly do. But I can´t trust him. Not after what happened, it´s hard for me to…"

"He helped me, he tried to fix things…" She said with a hard voice.

"The same way he 'fixed things' when he went to the DEO and stole the alien registry."

"That was different…"

"And how do you know Jeremiah has changed?" Asked Kara.

"He helped to save those aliens, he told me about the spaceship…"

"And later you were about to depart to another planet…"

"We´re clearly getting nowhere here." Alex stood up to take a new clean glass from the kitchen, her feet stumbled a bit, the effect of alcohol clearly affecting her; but she wasn´t finished… still saying goodbye to what she thought was gonna be her future with Maggie… her father contacting her after months of absence… Was the list going to continue? She poured more whisky.

"I want to believe in him, I do, I just don't know what we're dealing with this time… I don't want to see you disappointed again, I can't see you losing him…"

"Guess what? That's precisely the subject of this conversation." Alex turned to face her sister with a clenched jaw. "It´s not my fault if you wanna feel miserable leaving the people you love to go away like you did with Mon-El. You may be used to losing people, but I'm not!"

The immediate second after the last sentence, she wished to go back in time and stop. Did she actually say that?

On the other hand, Kara didn't say anything… truth was, she couldn't and the agent realized the weight of those words. The blonde put her glasses back in place with that nervous movement Alex knew was to hide tears building up. Even her drunk state started to fade away with what has felt like an ice bucket.

"Kara, I didn´t…" She left the bottle on the table and stretched her arm to reach the Kryptonian; a hand that never made it, because Kara automatically stepped back feeling uncomfortable.

"I… I need some air. I'm sorry."

So she flew out of the window, leaving the pizza box that was supposed to be dinner for their night; a night Alex didn't even remember until Kara had knocked at her door.

It was going to be an awkward situation. Now she had to deal not only with her own depression, but also Jeremiah, plus fixing things with Kara. How was it that both times Jeremiah had tried to come back, she had taken out all of her insecurity and frustration on Kara? Probably because she was the closest one.

Except, Kara wasn't the problem.

Her phone rang.

"Danvers."

"Alex" it was Winn, "there's a fire; the reason we're concerned about it is the emission of some radiation in the place. Kara is already on her way."

"I'm heading to the DEO right away."

…

"Help!"

Even without superhearing, she could have heard that desperate call.

Supergirl turned to look over her shoulder gazing a fireman supporting a young man, she was sure she recognized the victim from somewhere, but under these circumstances, there was not time for thinking.

"The basement! There was someone in the basement!" Gestured the victim.

The fireman looked at Supergirl "Go! I'll take this man outside." Another fireman came to support the other side of the young guy, notifying there was no one left in the burning house.

"Winn, I'm going down, there's someone in the basement!"

"Be careful." Advised an uncomfortable Alex on the other line, but she meant it.

There was a moment of silence and the older sister thought neither of them were ready to talk yet.

"I will." Kara finally said with a soft voice, which gave Alex hope for a conversation later. Kara had forgiven her, she always did. After Astra, she concluded that was another of Kara´s powers.

She headed the basement.

When she made it downstairs to the bottom of what used to be a house, it was hot, but she had not issues with fire; however, the lack of oxygen was starting to be a problem, she had to be quick or she would fall unconscious leaving a dead man behind.

"Here! Supergirl, over here! Please."

Having a curtain of smoke clouding her view, she used her x-ray vision bringing confusion at the sight; there was no one there. She stepped ahead just in case her senses were failing already, but found a speaker instead of a person.

Something pinched the back of her neck followed by pain.

Supergirl could barely react as her legs gave in. A half cry came out of her, but a hand drowned it by covering her mouth.

"Kara?" Asked Alex with concern.

"What's going on?" Winn asked too.

"Shh… shh… I got you, it's ok." The masculine voice she previously heard asking for help said next to her ear; the needle went out, the syringe dropped and he took her weight from the back.

In a quick move, the bud in her ear was taken off.

The man started to drag her; she felt her body and legs sliding above debris and wood. The heat was so intense she wondered how a human could walk and talk so easily in there. When she finally had the chance, she looked up and saw a black mask. The world was spinning and after blinking, what sounded like a door being closed was the only noise before the basement was left behind to be replaced by a wet tunnel.

Her eyes closed and when she woke up again, she was outside, still being dragged. Whatever she was pinched with, made her feel weak, but it didn't feel quite like kryptonite, this was something else; something different. Her eyes gave in and another time loss happened; when her eyes opened, she found herself in the back of a truck. Being taken to the unknown.

…

"Kara?!" Alex kept calling for her.

"I'm going in." J'onn departed in urgency.

"Where is she, Winn?" In a quick move, the agent stood next to the IT guy, looking after surveillance footage and scanners.

"According to the tracker in her earbud, she´s still inside the house… do you think she fainted or something?"

"No, Kara would have alerted us if something like that was about to happen."

"Look, J´onn is arriving already." Winn pointed the small icon on the screen.

"Something's off, Winn."

"Found her earbud. This looks like it used to be a provisional laboratory, there´s plenty of substances we have to analyze." They heard J'onn on the other side.

"What?" Alex took a desperate hand to her forehead.

"She's not here… I can´t see… give me a moment…"

"J'onn? What is it?" Alex could hear wood cracking. Then the sound of the fire vanished.

"A tunnel… there was a door hidden behind what looked like a table." The whoosh of air surprised Winn and Alex for a few seconds. "Just went to the end of the tunnel, I'm at Newman St."

"No sign of her?"

"Negative, Alex. It's all dark and I can´t find her anywhere around with my x-ray vision." The Green Martian sighed.

"Um… guys? Alex, the News on the TV…" Winn left his spot to stand next to a bunch of other agents watching a huge screen reading the title 'MISSING Lena Luthor.'

"Lena Luthor has disappeared…" Alex barely whispered.

"Agent Schott?"

"Yes sir." Winn stopped looking at the TV.

"Inform the other agents Supergirl has been taken. I'm going back to the DEO. Lena Luthor might be involved."
