Crash! A roar rang out through the DEO. "Lockdown initiated" the computer alerted. Alex and Kara were now back to back in the dimly-lit headquarters. Kara looked around with her x-ray vision. Ever since the White Martian incident, J'onn had started removing the lead from the walls. Unfortunately, they were in one of the sections where they hadn't removed the metal. "Alex" She whispered "I can't see through the walls." She heard Alex sigh. "Well that is fantastic" She deadpanned. Kara rolled her eyes. There were more pressing matters at hand. She strained to use her super hearing, trying to locate the loose alien prisoner. She could hear Alex's and her own heartbeat and breathing. They were both surprisingly calm. Kara waited for a bit longer before moving on. She stopped. "Why did you stop?" Alex asked, her voice hard to pick up even with super hearing. Kara turned around. "There are three heartbeats." She got those four words out before she heard a loud roar and was slammed into the wall. She got up, leaving a large hole in the wall behind her, and flew forwards as fast as she could. She slammed into the massive alien and sent them both flying into shelves full of supplies. She shot a look at Alex. "Go get backup!" she yelled as she ran towards the alien. Her sister left without a word. 'Good' she thought. She looked up at the alien. "Now the real fight can begin." She smirked when she saw the outraged look on her opponent's face. She screamed as she threw the alien across the room.

Alex had found the rest of the agents that were locked in the DEO as fast as she could after Kara told her to go. She looked like she could handle it for a few minutes while Alex got backup. The other agents and she started running towards the sounds of battle after getting properly armed. The noises stopped. She put her hand up, bringing the rest of the group to a stop. She stepped forward slowly, just narrowly dodging the alien's flying body, which was followed by Supergirl. Alex could tell the fight was 50-50, even though to anyone else, it would look like Kara was kicking its ass. She dodged yet another flying alien body, this time her sister, slamming into another wall. Normally, Alex would know when to interfere, but the battle between the two left nearly no openings for the agents to help the red and blue menace. The fight went on for about 30 more seconds before the alien knocked Kara into a wall, disabling her for a few moments. It was the perfect time to attack while the alien focused its attention on Kara. The agents surrounded the alien and put it into containment. Alex ran over to her sister, who was still in the crater she created. She held out her hand, which was gladly accepted by Kara. "Whoo..." Kara said, winded, as she patted herself down "That was a tough one. Thanks for the save." Kara beamed at her. Alex nudged the Kryptonian "What else are sisters for?" They laughed and started to head home.

Kara was still a bit out of breath as Alex and she headed down the hall. They were stopped by a growl from the, now captured, alien. "This isn't over" The prisoner snarled. Kara turned toward the alien. "Um, forgive me if I'm wrong, but you're in a cell. Or maybe I'm seeing things." She saw her sister hold back a small laugh. "I think it's safe to say it's over" Kara finished, satisfied with her remark. She was about to continue walking when the alien said on last thing. "Our fight may be over, but your battle has just begun" The prisoner's eyes turned a sickening green. Kara suddenly felt drowsy. Alex was the last thing she saw before being engulfed in darkness.
