Where Are We Now

Chapter 5

Kara flew high in the sky above the building where Winn told her the hacker might be, looking for some trap or danger that could be waiting to surprise them as Oliver, Sara and Alex waited for her signal to get in. It was a large building with glass all over it. It looked like it was from some important company. They proceeded with caution as Kara told them the place was safe from apparent danger. She used her x ray vision and was able to see 5 guys at the 5th floor.

- He must be one of those guys I saw... - Kara said as they got to the stairs.

- It can also be a trap... - Oliver said as he pointed his bow and arrow to his front, looking everywhere. – It's never that easy, believe me...

- Oh, I know that! – She said as she kept using her x ray vision – I hate this kind of surprises.

As they reached the 5th floor, two armored guys came in shooting. Kara got in front of Alex, Sara and Oliver, making the bullets hit her and fall to the ground. Oliver took advantage of this to hit an arrow in the eye of the guy that shoot. He fell, rolling down the stairs as the other broke into a fight with Alex. Sara came to her aid as they combined moves to take him down. Sara gave him a right hook as Alex grabbed him from behind, her arms around his neck, pressing it enough to make him faint. They high-fived each other involuntary and Alex blushed right away as they kept going on. Two more guys attacked them in the hallway, trying to prevent them to get closer to a big black door. Oliver jumped high, punching one of them in the face as the guy turned around to kick Oliver in the stomach. Oliver bent down, deflecting one punch from him as he grabbed one of his arrows and jabbed the guy's shoulder with it. He put some pressure on it, making the guy scream in pain. Kara took advantage to take the gun on his hand and twist it so he would never use it again. She did it like she was twisting a piece of paper. Oliver looked at her and smiled, getting a bright smile back from her as she looked like a proud kid at that moment. Sara was dealing with the other guy as Alex approached the door sneakily. In five quick moves, Sarah took the guy down as well.

- Let's be smart about this... - Oliver said as he looked around, analyzing his options.

- I can go in the front. You two – She looked at Sara and Oliver – are our secret weapon, you can't reveal yourselves right away.

- We'll wait by the door, at the first opportunity, we take whoever this is, down. – Sara said as she hid, Oliver doing the same.

They rushed to the door and Alex opened it. They entered slowly, seeing a dark figure by the corner of the room, with his back at them. He was wearing a black hooded cloak, so it was impossible to see who it was.

- Show yourself! – Kara said as she took a step towards the center of the room, the others staying behind her. – Is over! Turn around and show yourself!

- With pleasure! – The guy said as he turned around with an evil smile on his face. – Sadly, I'm not the one you are looking for! My master is smart; you know?

- Your master? You sound like you are part of a cult or something – Alex commented, pointing her gun to the guy.

- We are! Anti-vigilante hacktivists. We use our abilities to help the world get rid of you bastards that think you are above the law... And we will do it now!

Kara's hearing felt like damaged out of sudden. She could hear noises from the distance but it was all so confusing. She saw a green blur go down on the floor as something sharp flew around and hit something. Next, she heard a screaming. Someone was screaming her name, but she couldn't see or identify who it was. Everything was spinning, she felt dizzy. And a sharp pain in her stomach. Her hand slowly covered it, as she felt something warm. It felt like blood. How could it be? She was made of steel... Unless... Kara started to feel panic rushing through her body as she looked down. Something had hit her and it seemed ugly. Her whole body trembled. She was falling deep into something she had no idea what it was, but quickly the sensation changed to warm and calm. If something did happen to her, at least she was in peace.
