"Talk to me, Agent Danvers." Kara says into the comms.
"Aliens, I think. Down at the docks." Alex informs her succinctly. "Where have you been all day? I haven't heard from you since your fourth lunch."
"Dress shopping with Cat." Kara doesn't notice that she's used her first name, but Alex never misses a thing.
"Oh, so it's 'Cat' now is it? When did that happen?" Alex asks a teasing lilt to her voice.
"Alex, this is no alien that I've ever seen." Kara says warily, watching a giant-man-shark-thing-in-shorts toss around cars as easily as even she could. "What has the world come to, Sis?"
"I don't question it anymore. I mean, you're my flying alien sister. I'm a secret agent. Go take care of that...whatever it is, before it hurts someone." Alex orders.
"On it." Kara answers and clicks off the comms. She angles her body downward and breaks the sound barrier right before her fists slam into his scale covered chest-like area. He falls back into the water so she darts back up into the air.
"I knocked him back into the water, Alex. What now?" kara clicked the Bluetooth back on, panting.
Her answer came before Alex could reply in the form of sharp white teeth on her leg, then... through her leg. Kara let out a strangled scream of pain as she was pulled from the air. This hurt worse than anything that she had ever felt in her entire life. It didn't make sense, either. She was supposed to be invulnerable.
The water closed over her as they splashed down. It was so dark, but that meant that she could see the sickly green glow coming from the inside of the shark-creature's chest, the whites of his eyes, and the sheen of his teeth. It was reminiscent of Kryptonite... Kara's only weakness. She could feel herself wanting for something to make it better, a sickness vibrating through her. She hauled back and punched him in the eye. He loosened his clamp on her leg and fell unconscious.
As soon as his teeth came loose the water dyed red around her. Kara thought that it seemed a pretty shade. It was just like the polo shirt that Carter had been wearing. She remembered him telling her he loved her as she drifted. Her lungs burned for oxygen as though she were human.
Carter...Cat and Carter...she needed to get to them... Kara tried to force herself into awareness and swim. It felt like when she had been asleep in her pod. Then, a strong hand wrapped around her bicep and dragged. Hands pressed down on her chest and water coughed up out of her lungs. Then, everything went black.
