The Devil

Chapter 7 // The Control Room

When Kara vanishes into thin air Alex walks back. Lena gasps when she sees Alex' black wings. Oh no, she is going to fly. Alex just walks into her personal space and says "I don't think it's smart for you to try out your wings. So grab a hold on me and we will be at the control room in no time." And Lena quickly stands up and holds Alex. She closes her eyes and lets out a high pitched gasp when they take off. While the whole flight she doesn't open her eyes for a second.

When she feels solid ground she opens them again and takes a step away from Alex. She looks around and expected it to be red and all but she is wrong. There are actually just normal colours. But it is a bit reddish, like the ground but that won't matter since she is standing in front of some sort of entrance of a building. Alex looks at her with a raised eyebrow and Lena just nods for her to start walking. And that's all it takes for Alex to retract her wings and start walking to the entrance of the building. Around them are some other buildings, all made in the similar style but this one stands out.

Lena quickly follows Alex and walks next to her. She looks a bit shocked when she sees the hall in front of her, everything is a level lower and they are standing on some sort of balcony so they can see it without problems. But there are many of those office spaces. But now only filled with a chair and a screen, some are decorate though. There are many people working, or whatever they are doing. Alex just walks to the stairs and walks down. Together they walks to the side of the building where closed off rooms are. They enter one with a fancy desk, not that those other little cubicles looked bad because they actually were quite comfy, well the chairs looked comfortable.

Alex motions for Lena to sit down on the chair and with that a screen appears on the desk in front of her, Lena practically gasps, which is quite unprofessional. Alex explains "All you need to do is search the persons name and a list will appear. Here I will do the first one" 

She stands beside Lena and points at a search icon in the bottom of the screen. Suddenly the screen comes alive and a search bar is visible and a keyboard appears in front of the screen on the desk. She quickly enters in Kara Morningstar. When she pushes enter a list of people, only one, appears on the screen. Alex points at Kara's profile and with that she screen enlarges.

Now visible on the screen is a live feed from Kara's eyes and 3rd person. Also is a live map and information about the person on the side. Lena gasps, it's quite creepy but actually genius. It doesn't go unnoticed by Alex since she comments "Kara came up with this." And with that she takes a step back and stands behind Lena again.

When Kara opens the door with only a moment of her finger she gasps. And gets red when she hears Kara chuckle, does she hear her? Hopefully not. Luckily Alex speaks up "She is just teasing you, and she probably can't hear you. She could if she wanted, but she doesn't do that, that often. It was awful when you did dirty business with one of your partners." Gets even redder and doesn't dare to look at Alex. She just focuses on the screen. Kara is about to knock on the door. Their greeting is a bit awkward but Lena expected nothing else, how else do you do this?

Lena is a bit surprised when Kara is straight to the point and that James quite quickly signs. Suddenly Alex searches 'Jimmy Olsen' and the screen changes into the live feed about his life. When Kara closes the door behind her he blinks a couple times and out of nowhere his phone rings. He quickly grabs it and he answers without reading the caller ID "James Olsen"

A woman speaks up from the other side of the line "Jimmy, I have some good news. I got offered a job in National City. Is it alright that I stay with you for some time while I search for a house?"

James scratches is bald head and looks around "Yea, sure. I don't have a problem with that."

"Good, thanks James I will speak to you later about this, is that okay?"

James sighs and says "Sure, Kelly. No problem." And with that their call ends. 

Suddenly somebody new in the office speaks up "So what do you think about?" Lena jumps up and grasps her heart. Kara, the new person in the office speaks again "Now you are exaggerating. Your heart can't hurt anymore. And I have been here for quite some time."

Lena exclaims and turns to Kara "But you shouldn't sneak up to people like that!" 

Kara pouts and points out "But Alex didn't even budge. She just stood there."

Alex just nods, because Kara was right. She didn't even move, maybe she wasn't that focused on what was going on the screen and kinda expected Kara to just appear out of nowhere. But it can also be because she has had years of practice. 

Lena just sighs and Alex comments "You will get used to this." Which is probably a lie since Lena is a jumpy person if not expected. 

But with that Kara says "Let's go home, I won't like to think what some of those demons would like to do with you. Being their abnormal protective self." Lena nods and thus time she doesn't need to fly, they just disappear and appear at the mansion. Which is way better than flying but for now still a bit disorientating. They fall into conversation while they walk to a living room inside the building but Lena's mind is somewhere else. Thinking about what Alex said, something about trying out her wings.
