Chapter 25
When Alex arrived on Oa, she found that just like usual, the planet was full of green lanterns, there was only one she needed to speak to right now. But first, she needed to speak to the Guardians about the new development on Earth, which was why she immediately headed for the Guardians' chamber and she was not surprised to find them waiting for her.
"Green Lantern Alex Danvers, what brings you back to Oa so soon?" Ganthet asked.
"There's been a development on Earth that while I'm not sure if you already know, I'm pretty sure that I'd be considered negligent in my duties if I didn't inform you of it." Alex said.
"I assume this is about Fort Rozz." Appas Ali Apsa asked.
"Of course you knew and you didn't bother to get involved." Alex said, rolling her eyes, since there was a reason Ganthet was the only Guardian she could truly tolerate.
"You know direct involvement is not our way." Ganthet said, ever the peacemaker.
"True and I guess with Superman, plus a Green Lantern on Earth, you didn't see much need to get involved." Alex said.
"Exactly. Earth may still be considered a primitive planet, but it has heroes who can defend it just fine. Including your sister. But Fort Rozz is not the only reason you came here is it?" Ganthet asked.
"No, we recently brought in one of the prisoners, who's reformed, General Astra of the House of Ze and she told me about the Green Lantern who patrols the sector Krypton used to be in." Alex said.
"Tomar Re." Appa said.
"Yes, she believes that Tomar would be interested in this situation, not to mention seeing her again and meeting Kara, since Astra said that Tomar was friends with both Jor-El and Zor-El. Not to mention I think Kara would like meeting him a lot more than the other Green Lantern you have stationed in my sector." Alex said.
"We are aware that Hal Jordan has his own shortcomings, but he has proven himself to be a true Green Lantern. One of the greatest in the history of the Corp. Which has fed his ego, but that's part of why we assigned a second lantern to your sector. In an attempt to help him learn to work with others." Ganthet said.
"I'll take your word for it. But I was hoping that I could at least speak to Tomar-Re, let him know about this." Alex said.
"He is currently meeting Green Lantern Kilowog in the training area." Ganthet said and Alex nodded.
"Thank you." Alex said as she flew out of the chamber.
When Alex entered the training area, she couldn't help but flinch at the memories she had in here, since she could still feel the bruises she'd gotten in her training, before she noticed two green lanterns talking, one of them being her old mentor Kilowog while the other was the fish headed lantern she'd seen in the hologram her ring had projected.
"What's up Poozer?" Kilowog asked when he noticed her and Alex rolled her eyes playfully at him.
"I'm actually here to see Tomar-Re." Alex said.
"Really, why is that?" Tomar asked.
"Because the sector you protect used to have Krypton in it, so I feel like you should know that Fort Rozz crashed on Earth." Alex said and she could tell that she'd gotten Tomar's attention.
"How? The prison was trapped in the phantom zone?" Tomar asked.
"You know that Jor-El wasn't the only member of the house of El with a child right?" Alex asked.
"Yes, I'm aware of Zor-El's daughter, why?" Tomar asked as Alex realized that Tomar didn't know that Kara had survived the destruction of Krypton.
"Kal-El wasn't the only one sent away from Krypton before it was destroyed, Zor-El and Alura did the same thing for their daughter Kara, but the shockwave caused by Krypton's destruction knocked her pod off course into the Phantom Zone, until somehow her pod got loose and traveled to Earth, but when it did, it somehow towed Fort Rozz out with it." Alex said.
"Releasing some of the worst prisoners Krypton had to offer on Earth." Tomar said and Alex nodded.
"I know that you have your own sector to protect, but even though Astra is currently in custody, she did say she'd like to see you again and I'm sure Kara would too." Alex said.
"I can't believe that the daughter of the house of El is still alive. I met Kal-El once after he first became active on Earth, since I was investigating the reports of a survivor from Krypton, since my greatest regret was that I couldn't save Krypton or any members of the house of El. I was overjoyed when I met him and I am overjoyed again to learn that another member of the house of El survived as well. I would be honored to meet her and to see Astra, since I was saddened to learn that she'd been imprisoned, but I am happy to learn that she's come to her senses and is trying to reform." Tomar said and Alex nodded.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, Lena Luthor was currently strapped to a chair in a remote warehouse that was lined with lead and had sound dampening tech to keep anyone from seeing or hearing her. She'd been stuck here for nearly a week and once again, she couldn't help but flashback to how she'd gotten into his mess in the first place.
It had been the day after the game night where Alex and Felicity had finally gotten together, since even Lena could tell that they'd been dancing around that for years and while Kara was in Central City dealing with the fallout of the particle accelerator explosion. It had happened right after work when Lena was getting in the car her driver had waiting for her.
If she'd actually been paying attention to things that weren't in the files she'd brought with her, she'd have noticed that it wasn't her usual driver. She didn't notice anything was wrong until after the car had pulled away with the partition up and that's when she'd noticed gas starting to fill the compartment she was in, causing her to cough and then eventually pass out.
When she'd woken up, she'd been changed out of the expensive suit she'd been wearing before and was now wearing a thin white tank top and shorts, which she supposed was better than being stuck in her underwear, but still, that was the only highlight of what had happened to her.
It had been a week and Lena had already memorized her new routine. Very minimal meals three times a day with beating sessions in between, but so far, no one had asked her any questions. Not yet. She suspected that the interrogation wouldn't begin until they were sure they'd broken her. And she was pretty sure she knew who was behind this, but since the smug bastard hadn't shown his face yet, she couldn't prove it. She just hoped that Kara realized that she was missing soon and started looking. And when she did, she honestly pitied whoever it was that had taken her, since Supergirl would reign hell down on them.
