The Death of Supergirl

Revelation

General William Hardy Lancaster, Retired was sitting in the DEO conference room waiting. Alex and Lena were outside the door debating what they should do, Lena was all for going completely Luthor on the asshole because there was a huge chance he was responsible at least partially for what had happened to Kara. Alex was wishing J'onn was here so he could just read the man's mind. James came storming in, in full Guardian gear, saying he would get the information out of the man. The rest of the DEO was all for just beating it out of him. Alex, finally decided to take James and Lena in with her.

The trio entered the conference room trying to show a united front. The General, who had been completely forthcoming about his arms deals, completely shut down when Supergirl was mentioned. Then he saw Lena, and suddenly his mouth went dry and his palms started to sweat.

"General, I have a few questions pertaining to the death of Supergirl. You have co-operated completely with us so far, but you refuse to answer any questions about her death."

"Her death was an accident, CADMUS troops that purchased weapons from me, were supposed to be targeting HER.", he said, pointing at Lena.

"Who is targeting her? Who gave the order for her death?"

"That information is confidential between my clients and myself."

Suddenly Lena transformed, she slammed the General's face into the table top, drew his head back and punch him in his already broken nose. "Lena, stop!", Alex yelled.

"I'm tired of being a wallflower and a target. This man's weapons killed my friend, I may have broken my family, but he had a part in ripping out its heart, and if he won't answer your questions, then he will damn well answer mine.", Lena growled. Then she stared hard at the general, "Who paid you, you son of a bitch."

"Lex Luthor."

"Lex is dead, I know cause I shot him."

"Not real good with friends and family are you Lena."

Lena punched him again, "I shot Lex, and if you keep it up, I will find a gun and shoot you next."

Alex pulled Lena back, "Lena calm down, Kara wouldn't have wanted this, don't let go of everything she believed in. Don't stoop to his level."

"Ohhhh dear Director Danvers, do you miss your baby sister?"

At that statement, Alex drew her gun and pointed it at his head, "Mention my sister again like that, and I will let Lena have her way with you."

The general swallowed hard, he was playing a very dangerous game, these were two of the most powerful women in National City, and they both had him in their sights, literally. He had made a small fortune on the assaults on Lena Luthor, but he wasn't sure if it was worth his life. He looked from Lena to Alex and then at the Guardian, not one of them seemed to have any sympathy for him. "I'll come clean."

"Write it down asshole. Once we verify your story, then we will turn you over to the NCPD, and maybe just maybe they will take your confession into consideration before you are charged with multiple federal charges."

"I'll do it. Give me the paper."

For the next three hours the General wrote everything down, accounts, names, amounts. He knew the name of the lawyers, they were Lex's, and he knew where CADMUS was currently hiding out. And one little surprise, Lillian Luthor had escaped prison and was setting up a full assault in order to take out Lena for her part in Lex's death. He quoted Lillian at the end of the confession, Supergirl's death was just an added bonus, one more nail in Lena's coffin.

Alex read the statement, then made a copy, the original went into a sealed envelope for the NCPD, the copy went into Supergirl's case file. Now she had to tell Lena that Lillian was behind the attacks and that her mother was free again.

"Transfer the General to the NCPD, I'll call and let them know you are on the way in. Can someone get Lena, she is down in the lab, calming down."

Fifteen minutes later, Lena entered the conference room, "Alex, is everything okay?"

"Lena, I've got some rather bad news."

"It was my mother wasn't it."

"Yes and the worse part is she free."

"What, oh God Alex, she will hurt everyone to get to me."

"Lena, calm down, we know where they are, we will stop them."

"I'm going with you Alex. You have to let me go, please, I have to help finish this."

"Lena, I can't, you would be a liability."

"Are my guys going in?"

"Yes a few of them will be part of the team."

"They will take care of me Alex, I won't be your burden"

"Lena, you are not a burden, but you are not trained."

Lena then decided to pull out the big guns, she pouted and tried puppy dog eyes, Kara's secret weapon, on Alex.

"No Lena, that is so unfair, if Kara was here she wouldn't give in to you."

Lena continued to pout.

"Fine Lena, but you follow every rule, and you do exactly as you are told."

"Thank you Alex.", Lena cried out, as she pulled Alex into a hug. Alex couldn't be angry, she just didn't want anything to happen to Lena, she had been to important to Kara.

Meanwhile, blue eyes flashed red, and for the first time in weeks, she breathed a deep breath...
