Chapter 26
Kara was getting concerned, it had been over a week since anyone had seen Lena and she wasn't answering her phone and Kara had even checked her apartment to find that it didn't look like it had been touched in a week, causing her to go to red alert, so she'd already filed a missing persons report to the NCPD, which had confirmed that Lena was missing and now the authorities were looking for her, but Kara wasn't going to just sit around and wait for them.
Which was why she'd called an emergency meeting of her team, which she'd called the Superfriends, at the Island, which was why she, Felicity, Alex and J'onn were all gathered there.
"I know that this is technically something we should let the NCPD handle, but." Kara said.
"Say no more Kara, Lena is one of us, we'll find her." Alex said, especially since she was well aware of how her sister felt about Lena and was determined to find her.
"Do we have any leads?" J'onn asked.
"Felicity." Kara said, gesturing over to the human computer system she'd had set up in the Island's central computer hub to serve as Felicity's workstation until she'd mastered the Kryptonian servers, since she still didn't understand kryptonian yet.
"One second." Felicity said as she walked over to the computers and began typing.
"Okay, since the last place anyone confirmed seeing Lena was when she was leaving Argo Enterprises for the day, I'm going to access our security camera footage to see if we can get Lena's departure on camera." Felicity said.
"Good thing Kara as CEO can give you legal access to that system." Alex said to her girlfriend.
"Good thing too, since I think that Argo Enterprises might be the only system on the planet that can actually keep me out." Felicity said with a chuckle as both she and Kara remembered Felicity's brief tenure as the Ghost Fox Goddess with her old boyfriend Cooper Seldon before Kara had talked some sense into her.
"Considering the fact that I was your roommate at MIT, do you really think that I wouldn't make sure that you couldn't get into our systems unless I wanted you to?" Kara asked.
"Anyways, how did your announcement go in Central City?" Alex asked, since the reason Kara hadn't noticed Lena's absence until now was because she'd been in Central City, officially announcing her company's acquisition of Star Labs.
"It went pretty well, especially when I announced that my first order of business as the new owner of Star Labs was to dismantle what's left of the accelerator and that it will never be recommissioned." Kara said.
"How did Wells feel about that?" Alex asked as Felicity continued to work.
"He wasn't happy, but considering I'm the reason his facility is currently undergoing repairs instead of being decommissioned, he agreed to it. But I do think he has some kind of connection to the Flash, since I'm almost positive that the Flash's suit is a Star Labs prototype." Kara said.
"Does Jesse know that?" Alex asked, regarding the person who Kara had assigned to run Star Labs as her proxy.
"No, because the Flash is entitled to a secret identity just like I am." Kara said.
"Got something here." Felicity said, bringing them back on topic.
"What do you have?" Kara asked as Felicity brought up surveillance footage of Lena getting into her usual town car in the garage of Argo Enterprises.
"This is the last security footage we have of Lena, getting into her usual town car and headed home. Except the car never got to her apartment building." Felicity said.
"Why would her driver take her somewhere else?" Alex asked.
"Wait, zoom in on the driver's seat." Kara said, since with her super vision, she saw something was off, but she needed to be sure.
"On it." Felicity said as she did exactly that and while the image might've gotten blurry on a normal monitor, but thanks to the Kryptonian technology, the image was clear as day.
"And there we go." Felicity said.
"That is not Lena's usual driver is it?" Alex asked Kara as Kara's blood turned cold when she saw who it was.
"No, that's Mercy Graves. Lex Luthor's ex-girlfriend and former personal bodyguard, but I assumed that their relationship ended after Lex left her to rot in Belle Reve." Kara said.
"What's Belle Reve?" Felicity asked, reminding the other three that she wasn't as immersed in this world as they were.
"It's the government's secret prison that was built specifically to house super criminals. It's run by a joint operation between the DEO and Argus, since both organizations deal with enhanced individuals. Belle Reve is the villains Superman fights end up, since while the DEO does have holding cells, it's too dangerous to allow those criminals to remain near the population for too long, so Belle Reve is a more permanent facility, designed to house super criminals in a place where they can't hurt anyone and they're isolated from the rest of the world. Its location and existence is highly secretive." J'onn said.
"Then I get how you and Alex know about it, but how does Kara?" Felicity asked.
"Superman told me about it." Kara said simply.
"Anyways, the prison is supposed to be designed so that not even Superman could escape it, but no prison is truly escape proof." J'onn said.
"Though there is a rumor that Argus has used some of its inmates for covert operations, but I've never been able to get confirmation on that." Alex said.
"Considering the kind of woman Amanda Waller is, it wouldn't surprise me one bit." J'onn said.
"Anyways, clearly Mercy somehow escaped prison and there's only one person she'd kidnap Lena for is Lex." Kara said.
"I can't believe she'd still be loyal to him after he apparently let her rot in prison on his behalf and she'll likely end up back there after you track her down to save Lena." Felicity said.
"Love makes people do crazy things. But right now, can you figure out where Mercy took Lena." Kara asked.
"Or find out where she is now?" J'onn asked.
"Working on it. Using the city's surveillance cameras, I'm tracking the car where it went after it left Argo Enterprises." Felicity said.
"Mercy is way too careful to let herself be captured on security cameras." Kara pointed out.
"Which is why I'm also using our satellites to run a facial recognition scan for any trace of Mercy or Lena in the city and I'm also scanning for the license plate number of the car that was used to abduct her. If you want to do a flyover of the city, I recommend looking for a place that your x-ray vision can't see through, since knowing Lex is involved means that wherever Lena is being held has likely been modified to shield her from your detection, which is exactly how you'll find her." Felicity said.
"I'm on it." Kara said as she activated her suit.
"I'll do a psychic sweep of the city, since Lex doesn't know about me or my abilities, so he has no reason to shield Lena from them." J'onn said.
"Wait, you have psychic powers?" Alex asked.
"Later Alex. Right now the priority is finding Lena and getting her to safety before I fly to Metropolis and toss Lex into the sun." Kara said.
"I'll see if my ring can pick up Lena's trail anywhere." Alex said as she suited up and J'onn shifted to his martian form.
"And I'll keep doing what I can from here." Felicity said as the three fliers headed out.
