A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 315 - Leaving Argo

After Reign takes her first step out of her cell, she seems to take in a deep breath, and release it, in a sigh of relief. It is actually pretty terrifying for Alex and the other DEO agents who are witnessing this, all of whom know what happened in Reign's fight with Supergirl. So say they are scared, is putting it lightly. They know they are no match for Reign, but this is the job they signed up for. They have to stop her, no matter what the personal cost. Or, in this case, attempt to stop her, even if it's a hopeless undertaking.

Before Alex, the DEO agents, or even Reign, can do anything, Talia charges at Reign, letting out a loud roar as she does. Reign, for her part, simply stands still, seemingly unbothered, a bit like how Talia was before when Superman went to attack her. However, when Talia reaches Reign she spear tackles the world killer, knocking her to the ground, and clearly surprising her. Alex uses this moment to usher some of the DEO agents who are injured from the fights out of the room, Alex knowing J'onn would want to prioritise their safety first.

A few moments after Talia has tackled Reign to the ground, the world killer pushes Talia off her. It's clear that Reign is not at full powers yet, so the push really just pushes Talia a few feet away and off her, rather than doing anything more extreme. After this, Reign quickly jumps back to her feet, and Talia does the same.

"You fool. You have no weapon to harm me now." Reign smirks, wickedly.

"I don't need a weapon to harm you. I am now more powerful than you can ever imagine." Talia says, with a crazed look in her eyes.

Reign just chuckles at Talia saying this, clearly very amused by it, and not thinking Talia is much of a threat at all. Talia though, uses this moment to run towards Reign again. This time, instead of spear tackling Reign, like she did before, she jumps up, and aims her knees directly at Reign's face. This move from Talia, once more, surprises the world killer, and because of it, Talia connects directly with Reign's face, with her crotch area, while her legs land on top of Reign's shoulders. Reign can tell that this sort of movement, and the ability to do this is very unnatural, even in terms of whatever race Talia may be, human or otherwise. Now that Talia has landed on Reign's shoulders, she uses her momentum to swing her legs around, causing Reign to go flying to the ground backwards, and as Reign falls, Talia quickly jumps back off the world killer. This is all done in a very swift movement, all at once, some very similar to a movement a black widow may have done.

Alex, for her part, has just been looking on at this brief fight between Reign and Talia, and she knows that really she and the DEO agents can't do much about this fight. Alex knows that Reign is too powerful for any of them to try and fight her, and Talia, with her seemingly enhanced abilities, may be too strong, and mostly too skilled, for them to be able to fight her too. So, going over and joining in the fight between Talia and Reign would be very dangerous. However, Alex also looks at Clark, who is still laying on the ground, on top of the cell computer systems, which he mostly destroyed, still groaning from the kryptonite which is lodged in his body. Alex knows that right now seeing as J'onn is out of action, and Kara is off world, their best chance at actually getting to stop Reign, is Clark.

After a few moments thought, Alex moves over to Clark's side, telling her DEO agents to all remain by the door. Alex didn't want them all to come with her, and really cause Reign and Talia's attention to be drawn to them. Alex's plan is to hopefully remove the kryptonite from Clark's body, which should get him back up on his feet, and then he will hopefully be able to join in the fight between Talia and Reign. Of course, Alex has already considered telling one of the DEO agents to get a yellow sun grenade, so that they could let it off near Clark, and allow him to absorb the yellow sun and both heal, and enhance his powers. However, ultimately Alex knows that's not a good idea, because by doing that, while it might help Clark recover, it would also give a boost of powers to Reign, and Alex really doesn't want to make the world killer even more dangerous, and powerful than she already is currently.
