The DEO agents stood in the large open area of the underground desert facility, staring at the seven foot monster with a goatee, grey skin and red eyes. He had found a shirt today, but it did little to hide the large muscles he was not afraid to exhibit. The man, or monster, was smirking, as he always seemed to be. Lobo acted as if he was in on a joke only he knew and perhaps he was.

There she was, Lobo noted, in all her red and blue glory. Kara Danvers had entered the room, her sister in the Kryptonian battle armor beside her, hand on the butt of the gun that burst his ear drum once. Lobo was very interested in the bag Kara was carrying.

"Ladies. Been playing cops and robbers I see. I hear it has been an interesting couple of days."

Kara shook her head, annoyed that he was so comfortable here but a small part enjoying the nervousness, even fear of the DEO agents surrounding him.

"Not here. Lets take a walk." Kara told him, the two girls walking past the monster as if his sight did not affect them one bit. Of course it didn't. The sisters had taken him out before and had no doubt they could do it again if needed.

Lobo winked at an attractive red headed female agent, motioned for her to call him and followed.

Outside the trio walked for ten minutes, far enough away from prying ears.

"Kelex, are any listening devices active?"

"Nope, you are clear to talk to the psycho." the tiny robot responded.

The blonde looked at her sister.

"He is getting way too good at picking up the nuances of the English language."

Alex shrugged her shoulders. She may have been working with Kelex in her spare time on his speech, but Kara didn't need to know that.

"What have you found?" the blonde asked.

"Canada of all damn places. In the wild between Toronto and Sudbary, under the damn ground with a reenforced tunnel that will walk you straight to the main hub of Myriad, under Lake Huron, the Georgina Bay. Its perfect. The hub is large but covered by deep water and the woods cover the entrance to the base. The green land is too damn rough for the average hiker to travel. If they do, they wind up dead and the body somewhere else. No listening devices, no cell phones, no satellite pics. Considering they got Indigo covering the electronic interference, it isn't a surprise that your tech couldn't find it."

"How did you find it?" Alex asked suspiciously.

"Easy. I figured like you, most Kryptonians had been showing up in Metropolis. They had to be close. I managed to hang out at the bar enough that no one left when I walked in. They were pretty tight lipped until a few days ago. Some Fort Rozz guys abandoned Non. Rumor spread like wildfire. Kara Zor El had killed the remaining Kryptonians and her aunt, the great General Astra. You went from the hunted to being the hunter in a few days time. You are now the boogie man aliens tell scary stories about to their kids. Nice job, Beautiful. Everyone is scared of you now. Some of the guys said Non is going through with Myriad. A few hard core holdouts remained, probably about ten, maybe fifteen. I am not sure of all the species. I guess the deserters are running, hiding from you. The hub is made of a metal, I am sure like the one that cell I was held in was made of."

"So I can't break in from the outside." Kara mumbled.

"Nah. The problem with that metal isn't the hardness, its the flexibility. It will bend with your strikes and go back to its original form. Like hitting through silly putty. I like silly putty. Do you like it? Ever played with it? I found it before I came to this planet, only it was made from the eyes of a ..."
