The Devil

Chapter 4 // Winslow Schott Jr.

That evening Kara goes to her study, Alex is teaching Lena how to control her powers so now she has time to do her work. It was a smart decision for Alex didn't tell Lena that the advisors have the same duties she does. Tempting people, giving them their deepest desires. Kara sat down behind her desk and grabbed one of the many reports given to her by her different advisors.

She chuckles when she reads the name at the top of the file, "Maggie Sawyer" it read in the flowing print at the top of the manila file. She opened the file and continued to read the name on the front page, 'Winslow Schott Jr.'. Kara was instantly intrigued by his story. She knew that she assigned Maggie some hard cases, but by the current contents, maybe this would become one of her favorites. Written near the top of the list in Maggie's old cursive is 'Case: Loneliness due to fear.'. It made Kara laugh, seeing the correlation of this case to the one handed to her so long ago on Lena.

She quickly read further, some base information was written but on the next page was his live map. Maggie always thought of the little details; it was why she was Kara's best. She finally skipped to read the real report: 'Winslow (Winn) Schott Jr. Is just a basic case of loneliness. The estimated time he will remain alive if continued on this path is five months. He just needs friends and I think for the first time you need to make him special. Make sure he becomes our friend, I would recommend the golden ticket. I think when you meet him you'll see him as your little brother. Change him immediately." Kara slowly nodded. It was quite a report. With the file in her hands, she walked outside to Alex- who was still training with Lena through encouragement.

"Alex." Alex looks at her, frozen from her current task with their new queen.

"Kara, what can I do for you?" Alex stands there with her hands on her hips.

Kara smiles and requests, "Could you get Maggie for me? I don't want to scare Lena yet." Alex nods and grabs her phone to text Maggie. Within seconds she gets a message back.

"She says she be here soon."

"What would have petrified me?" Lena sarcastically asks with a hint of annoyance.

Kara turns towards Lena and explains "When I call my demons, it can be quite loud, almost eardrum shattering." Lena just nods and continues with trying to not break glass, failing as her peers watched her.

Maggie truly is a woman of her words, she lands on the ground moments later, her wings retracting into her back again. Kara waves the book and Maggie's face lights up "I see you read it! That's great, little Danvers."

Kara smirks and says "Very funny, Mags, but I'm definitely older than Alex," Maggie chuckles to herself before Kara continued, "So, Margarita, why did you think it's smart to give Mr. Schott the chance of a lifetime."

The short woman calmly explains "I think Winn is worthy of being your family. While he's pretty lonely, I believe that when given the chance, he'll be a great addition. Besides, I know he'd fit right in. You might hate to admit it but you love Alex as your sister, but that boy deserves the world."

"Alex," Kara call, making Alex stop dead in her tracks, "Come here for a second." Alex jogged back towards them, "Lena, could you come, too? I need you to read this and give me your honest opinion about this guy," Lena nodded and joined the other demons, she grabbed the report and read page for a page while Alex, Maggie, and Kara spoke in further detail about his case. "So, Alex, we have this guy, Winn, and Maggie thinks he deserves to get the golden ticket." Alex looks from Kara to Maggie and back.

Suddenly she gets a knowing look and exclaims "Oh! That guy you talked about yesterday. Yeah, I think Maggie's right, but in the end, it's your decision. I know this is a big decision, Kara, but I think you should ask Lena about this. She is your right hand, it'd be a perfect way to start her career."
