Chapter 71

"What brings you back so soon?" J'onn asked Kara.

"I thought you'd be interested in knowing that we've got a few leads on Lex Luthor." Kara said.

"You thought right. What do you have so far?" J'onn asked.

"Well first, we think we've figured out how Lex escaped prison in the first place. He had help." Kara said.

"Who?" J'onn said.

"Maybe we should take this into the meeting room?" Kara asked and J'onn nodded as they walked into the conference room and Kara pulled out a tablet.

"Say hello to Otis Graves. Former security for Lex Luthor before he was arrested and then after Lex was arrested and he quit, I'll give you one guess where Otis went to work next." Kara said.

"Stryker Island. So he had someone working with him the entire time he was in there." J'onn said.

"Exactly. We still don't know how exactly Lex escaped, since all the security feed was modified that day to prevent us from finding it." Kara said.

"Modified how?" J'onn asked.

"We looked over every bit of the footage you gave us and it looks like someone altered it to conceal Lex's escape." Kara said.

"You think Otis did this?" J'onn asked.

"No, based on the information we got on him, Otis is not smart enough to pull off something like this." Kara said.

"And how would you know that?" J'onn asked.

"Our new team member, Felicity Smoak. She's a hacking expert. When the surveillance footage was a bust, she helped us get access to Stryker Island's employee manifest and after a lot of digging, that's how we found out about Otis." Kara explained.

"Anyways, so you think that Otis had more help?" J'onn asked.

"Yeah. I'd advise a very thorough investigation into every member of Stryker Island's staff so we can find out who did it." Kara advised.

"Good suggestion. Normally threats like this aren't the DEO's purview, that would be Alex's department with Argus, but Luthor is a special case, since not only has he declared war on Superman, but he's also tried to eradicate aliens on earth, which puts him into our jurisdiction." J'onn said and Kara nodded.

"Another lead we're following towards Lex is his mother Lillian." Kara said.

"The head of Cadmus." J'onn said, since Jeremiah had told them that.

"Yep. I'm willing to bet that Lillian had some sort of hand in helping Lex escape." Kara said.

"That's a good theory. We should also keep eyes on Lena Luthor, for even if she isn't involved in this, she could be a potential target." J'onn said and Kara nodded.

"What's the rest of your team doing if you're here?" J'onn then asked.

"Barry, Cisco and Caitlin are currently running down a possible lead on Otis through his sister, Felicity trying to separate the corrupted video footage from the raw one to see if we can figure out how Lex actually escaped and also who else is helping him and Iris and Ronnie are really just doing their regular jobs to avoid drawing suspicion. Speaking of, I need to get to Catco before I'm missed." Kara said.

"I'll have our satellites start searching for any sign of Lillian Luthor or Cadmus. I'll let you know if we find anything." J'onn said and Kara nodded as she flew out of the building.

When Kara arrived at Catco, she found Cat waiting for her.

"How is it that even though you can fly and have super speed that you're still late for work?" Cat asked.

"Sorry, my team and I are running down leads on Lex Luthor." Kara said and now Cat understood.

"Well, you've already defeated one of Superman's greatest enemies, you feel like taking down another?" Cat asked.

"Reactron was one thing, but Lex, that's gonna be a team effort." Kara said.

"Good thing you have one." Cat said and Kara chuckled.

"Very true." Kara agreed as she went to her own desk and got to work.
