Few hours before the phone call

A car was arranged within minutes, while Maggie and Lena made their way out of L-Corp. Lena's private car, a lovely white Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R, was all ready in the garage. "Damn little Luthor, Kara might have a little competition." Maggie joked, chuckling at herself. The CEO just gave a delighted smirk. "Well, someone has to try and keep up." She answered, causing Maggie to burst into laughter. They climbed into the car, the engine finally roaring into life, as Lena drove out of the garage. 

"Hope, activate Shelley Island map." Lena ordered the AI, while driving. "Yes Miss Luthor." The AI answered, and out of nowhere a hologram of the whole island came into view. "Holy shit!" The demon said surprised, almost jumping out of her seat. Lena just had to chuckle at the reaction, wishing that she had recorded that. "Anyway, let's get into detail." She said, putting the car into auto-drive, while checking the hologram. "Where is do you think Lex would be hiding?" Maggie asked, as she fumbled around with her jacket, making sure she had a few knives with her...Better have knives, than none...She also wanted to have a little fun slicing throat and so on.

The CEO didn't answer at first, clearly thinking where they could enter and which rooms are accessible. "I know for sure Lex will be in the command center, since that's where all the computers and evil plan makings are made." Lena answered, touching a few points, probably possible ways to get in. "Hope, activate live footage." In a second, a screen appeared and  showed footage of Shelley Island from above. "Strange, there are no guards." The Luthor mumbled, while zooming in. "I think the majority are inside." The demon answered, knowing a little how Linda ticks...I am telling you, she has too many tricks on her sleeve. Lena just hummed in agreement, as she made with the hologram route ways. "This is the plan. I know my bother has something going on, like he is waiting till I strike, so we have to take one of the few boats from the docks and approach the island from the back." The CEO explained, while showing the demon the route. Maggie agreed with the route, since she saw no safer way to enter the island.

"And as I see, there is an abandoned tower there, having an underground tunnel, which connects to what looks like a garage, we can access there to the weaponry." Maggie said, kind of impressing Lena, who nodded eagerly. "Exactly! We lock the weaponry, kind of blocking the guards fro the access. From there we can climb into the vents and make our way to the storage room. It's the only place that seems to be the safest and nearest to the command center." Lena showed the points to Maggie, who was looking very intently at it. "There is a electrical switch there...We could shut down the whole place, giving us a chance to sneak into the command center to attack." Maggie explained, as she zoomed in with the hologram, showing Lena her idea. In all honesty, Lena very much agreed with the idea and added to the route. "From there we can capture and interrogate Lex." Lena said, as she turned off the hologram and screen, bringing her attention back to the wheel.

The demon was aware she was bringing the beloved CEO into danger, and she promised her master to protect Lena...By Hades is she going to get into a lot of trouble. Knowing that they are literally going to deal with a celestial being and a psychopath, Maggie already informed other demons, if ever something was going wrong, they would be their rescue...Hopefully everything goes by plan. 

The drive continued to be quiet, dead silent and the nervousness was noticeable around the air. "So how is everything going with Alex?" Lena asked, eyes concentrated towards the road. Maggie looked away from her phone, a soft smile on her face, just thinking about the angel. "Until now, everything is going smooth and good. We are still kind of in our honeymoon phase." The demon answered, her smile growing as she thought about the sweet memories Alex and her have made. "That sounds wonderful." The CEO complimented, clearly not lying that she is happy for her dear friend.
