    The streets were deserted luckily, especially for a thursday night but regardless they trudged on picking up speed as Alex led the way with Lena close at her side and Sam and Mara heading up the rear. All four had coms on just in case and teams geared up at the garage and one parked just a few blocks back for backup if needed.
    “Her tracker?” The Director asked the person on the other end hearing a woman’s voice.
    “It appears still, two blocks away….descend left boss.” Susan explained taking over on the coms. “I would have prefered to go with ya know…”
    “I know. But...I need someone on my six on the radios Vasquez.” Alex told the woman notioning with a raised arm and pointing as the four of them leant to the side turning to make the next two lefts. Instantly the Director noticed the bike parked at the empty parking lot as her eyes widened. She didn’t need a fortune teller to know the bike belonged to the DEO. “Susan...I want you to tell me how close the signal is in a minute to my own.”
    “Got it Director.” Alex waved the women to follow her as they all dismounted their bikes next to the one they all had figured out whom it belonged to. Instantly both Danvers and Luthor had unsheathed their guns with all of them free of their helmets as Sam cracked her knuckles and scoped everything out searching with her vision.
    Mara hesitantly pulled the rifle from her back holding it up slightly shaky flicking the scope up to study the area. The moment she got close to the Director she heard the sigh.
    “I don’t like guns.” She explained. The woman beside her unsheathed her double blade daggers holding them out.
    “They are weighted for my taste but they work in a pinch if you need it. I’ll give you the sheath too. Just unbuckle it from my belt. Lena had stepped back still with one hand holding the gun out but slightly turning back to the two women.
    “Trouble?” She asked but then they all heard the scream.
    “KARA!!!!”
    “Fuck….” Lena shot out running toward the noise as Sam kicked open the side door and sped in without any backup. “SAM!” Lena yelled trying to get her to wait until…
    “Oh no..” The Luthor dropped her own gun running as quick as she could hearing both Alex and Mara following suit as she ran over to dive down her knees slamming with a slide against the floor feeling the burn of what was surrounding the blonde’s body as Sam yanked her back and she fought against the strong Kryptonian arms of her friend. “NO!! Let me go Sam!!” Then she glanced up to see sickly green streaks along her friend’s face as if her veins were being poisoned and she forced both of them back further flipping her head just as the Director ran toward the unconscious body of her sister. “NO Alex!”
    “What the…” Alex ran over to put a foot on the painting along the floor and her entire body was catapulted backward dropping harshly to the floor. “Ooouuuuch…..” She groaned shaking the haze away from the painful strike redirecting her attention to the situation. “We gotta get Kara out of there…”
    “It’s some….sort of….forcefield..” Lena told her kneeling down tilting her head as she noticed the symbol and the streaks both in a sinister eerie glowing green green searching around the outside of the circle for a weak spot. Just as she had found one, the outside rim of the circle shifted and formed and before she could lunge away the hiss brought all of her attention forward. “Uh….” Green hues were frozen by the dark reds of the massive cobra before her and as it hissed and raised its head higher body higher bringing it face to face with the paralyzed Luthor Lena swallowed hard but found no urge to move.
    “Leee…” Sam struggled to stand but the green on the floor and this thing that captured her friend’s gaze was draining her of her strength and it made her wonder what would happen if they didn’t get Lena away from it in time.
    “Release her!” Alex snarled with her gun aimed as she fired and watched with wide eyes as the bullets didn’t even penetrate the serpent layers of this creature. “Shit…” Just as she was about to reload she heard another hiss behind her and dove out of the way as another serpent dove forward mouth wide and fangs visible then attacked the one that had both Lena and her sister trapped.
    Mara yanked Alex back as she dove for Lena whom seemed to be snapped out of whatever trance she was in now shivering from the events watching as Alex and Sam did along with Miss Kint as the serpent forced the other easily to the ground and clenched down it’s jaw until the one that had put the Luthor in a trance was still under the victor.
    “What the…” Lena struggled to catch her breath still so very shaken by the incident but widened her eyes as the very serpent that had saved her flipped around toward them as they all prepared for another round until the thing began to shift. “Holy…”
    “Wow.” Alex muttered as no longer was anything close to a serpent before them but a very handsome and sculpted copper toned body of a ravenous man. The Director couldn’t help but gaze away from his face and slide her eyes all the way down his incredible body so exposed and so endowed she felt her mouth slightly ajar.
    Shaking her head slightly, Alex turned to her comrades and found their gazes not far behind but it was Sam’s that remained on his eyes to which she turned back to study this stranger’s.
    “Snake eyes..” That brought both Mara and Lena pulling from their gawking stupor to glance up and notice the stranger’s peculiar eyes. Then he turned back to the unconscious body of her sister and panic rose in her as she clenched her gun tighter aiming it with a new clip reloaded in it.
    “Is that….how to say thank you in ‘your’ customs..for repaying a deed of rescue?” He spoke then shut his eyes whispering something as a slick material of black slid over his lower half as they heard a snap and suddenly the man was wearing denim though it didn’t stop a couple of their gazes from venturing south. Then he turned his beautiful serpent eyes of warm blue shades until the slits were replaced with circular pupils appearing far more human. “The one that had cast the symbol on the floor was the same I’ve sentenced to the tombs.”
    “Thank you.” Lena spoke calmly and grateful for his gesture to clothe at least part of himself in more of a respectful manner. “Why help us?”
    “Perhaps…” He spoke then brushed the hair away from the blonde’s face studying her glancing all over her bringing a snarl from the Luthor until he slipped his gaze back to the woman he’d protected. “You care for this one..”
    “We all do.” Alex came forward and knelt down in a respective gesture to the stranger. “I am Director Davers, Alexandra Danvers.” She explained. “This woman is my sister...and very special to me, to all of us.” She watched his gaze slip more reptilian and she felt her lips so dry her mouth practically watering and as his slits became visible Alex felt herself sinking into his eyes. “I…”
    He watched her reaction, studying her posture go from one of authority to one of offering. The answers were there, but he searched further in. Have THEY touched you?
    “Yes.” Lena and Sam went from checking on Kara that they now could get to all the while Mara inspecting her from anything off..a wound, a mark or something but the moment they heard how far gone Alex’s voice sounded they all shot their gaze at the man and the Director.
    “First Her...then….Him..” Have they...did you feel any hot strike along your body...as if you were being scratched or bitten? “No..just the heat…” The man forced his gaze to shift instantly releasing Alex whom gasped then blinked somewhat falling forward but he caught her and reached out to lift her chin. “What was…”
    “Old ways should have remained old.” He grumbled. “They seek to chance what should be changed on this earth and they hope to awaken an old spirit to do it.” The man waited until he knew she was stable enough and removed his hands from her. “Are you alright?”
    “Wha….what happened?” Alex struggled to speak practically stammering with her breaths coming out ragged. Instantly Sam was beside her grateful for the symbol that was around her gone now. “The marking…”
    “Faded once the one that created it was gone from this earth. His death released the spell however….I am certain before his appearance to you he’d bitten her.”
    “WHAT?!” Alex gasped eyes wide as she scrambled to her sister and instantly searched for a set of marks then noticed tears in a small area above the knee toward the side of the inner thigh. “Oh no...shit...Kar…”
    “The venom they produce…” His words were cut short as the raging Kryptonian seized a hand around his throat and squeezed.
    “You have by the count of three to TELL ME WHAT….will FIX IT!” Sam snarled with absolute fury and concern.
    “Sam stop…” Alex pleaded putting a hand on her shoulder. Hazel eyes glanced over to brown ones and sighed releasing her grip but shoving him back surprised to see how he didn’t go flying back like a human would under Kryptonian force. “Talk...please.” The Director tried to put on a brave face but fear was etching through her drowning her confidence as it was replaced by what ifs.
    “You need not worry. I intend to assist you.” He told them and it was Mara whom came closer and knelt down to him offering a hand up.
    “Why?”
    “As I said….old ways should remain that way.” He explained then bowed his head to lift it once more his eyes much more powerful than before but instantly they all noticed none of them felt the pull.
“I am Tobias. The creature I fought was indeed part serpent as you humans call them.”
    “Snake?” Lena added as Tobias sighed.
    “We hate that term.” He groaned.
    “We?” Alex asked now even more curious as his gaze flicked to her own.
    “There is a species of partial serpents amongst a planet, a moon that their..our kind reside from. They are known as ‘Cobraias.”
    “Cobra?” Sam questioned as Tobias nodded.
    “Partially. The ‘Cobraias are a species that can appear as serpents or of different forms such as humans. Shifters if it makes more sense.” He told them as he carefully tore part of the material from the unconscious blonde’s leg sighing at the two puncture marks where the rest of them noticed the bite too. “I am indeed ‘Cobraias….but not completely.” Which is why I can communicate with you this was Alex. The Director felt herself shutter at the sudden invasion in her mind.
    “Can….they do this too?” Alex asked, frightened of the answer.
    “Only the Priestess and Prince...and….” Tobias swallowed hard as a shiver ran through him. “..the Emperor.” The women before him noticed the fear in his features and it was Lena to ask the question all of them thought of.
    “The Emperor…..is THAT why they wanted Alex?” The Director flipped her head to the Luthor as did Sam but Mara, while inspecting the bite marks on Kara’s flesh glanced up slightly sure she already knew the answer.
    “They are trying to awaken Him...and if they do….this world won’t be just in danger..but..galaxies.” Alex gathered the courage to ask.
    “Why me?”
    “They search for leaders of blood, warriors of kin...noble lines. They are to be of Six sacrifices to an alter of their temple. Once initiated they will use their bodies, minds…..and souls..to break the binds of the tomb where the Emperor is trapped in slumber.” Alex glanced from the pale form of her usually powerful sister then back to Tobias.
    “Do….do these six have to be human?” Now she had everyone’s attention.
    “No.” The Director clenched her jaw and sent the thought necessary to their new comrade, or so he seemed. If I was the one they chose, and then they chose my sister instead… Alex dared not glance to Tobias feeling the invasion as if warm strokes came along her skull almost beckoning her to relax to him. You are whom they have chosen...they are using her as leverage to get you to return to them. “I will help you get the cure for her.”
    “Cure?” Lena asked now curious by this tilting her head some with eyebrow raised.
    “She’s been bitten and a toxin released into her. Until she is given and antitoxin er...antivenom...she will be trapped in their realm.”
    “Realm?” Sam asked and hoped it wasn’t what she thought it was.
    “An alternate plane of theirs...where they have all the control.” Mara stepped forward now holding the gun she had prefered not to yield aiming it directly at Tobias.
    “Whoa...Mara…” Alex tried but as the safety was disengaged she knew the woman wasn’t going to cave.
    “I will help. Here…..as I shift...only YOU Director...will bare it…” All of them watched as his human form ebbed away until he shifted lower and smaller to that of a serpent and then even smaller as a smoke enveloped where he was. As it finally cleared they all felt their eyes widen as before them rested a rather beautiful intricate gold cuff with the carvings of a cobra wrapped around knotted stems and two striking blue stones for eyes.
    “Whoa.” Alex mouthed as she slowly reached down and was instantly met with a strange calling by the cuff.
    “Alex...wait…” Mara tried but as she glanced to the Director’s gaze she noticed how clouded they’d become. “Alex...ALEX!”
    “He...wants….me...to…” Alex spoke and it didn’t take much for Lena and Sam to notice the drowned tone of the woman’s words that seemed to be in just as much of a trance as Lena had when the serpent had trapped her before. But then the Director blinked as her fingers snatched the bracelet and she gasped panting hard. “Whoooaaaaa…”
    “Alex...you okay?” Sam asked with a much deeper worry but then suddenly the woman was up off the ground rushed to one of the walls and hauled her arm back with a fist clenched. “Alex wait! You’re human that will…” But the bracelet cuff shifted and lengthened covering her whole hand and fingers then all of her lower arm as if a gauntlet, and then she punched the wall easily making a hole through it. “Holy….”
    “Damn…” Alex smiled as she pulled back her hand as the gauntlet slid away and the cuff still remained with the two blue stones glowing then fading. “Thanks Tobias.” She turned then sped back to Kara’s unconscious body and easily hoisted her carefully into her arms and held her out to Sam. “You got her?” The Kryptonian gulped nodding. “Fly her to the DEO, I’ll call a team to pick up the extra bike. Let’s go….I’ll explain on the way.”
    “Uh….did I miss something?” Mara asked slightly baffled.
    “How very Witchblade of her.” Lena smirked shaking her head. “ Hey Detective Pezzini wait up okay?!” The Luthor howled as Alex ran out of the club across the way and was mounting her bike revving it up securing her helmet nodding. The other two women ran over and grabbed theirs climbing on just as a DEO blacked out van pulled up while they exited the area.
    “A comic book reference Lee, really?” Sam spoke through the com cradling the unconscious Supergirl against her in her powerful arms flying toward the DEO building as Lena smirked securing her helmet just as Mara had as they followed the Director’s path.
    Questions were in the air but apparently they were answers to be told once back at headquarters. In the back of the green eyed woman’s mind she wondered just what had possessed the elder Danvers the same as Mara’s curiosity. But for Alex...for once...she was stronger than a Kryptonian, and for once….it made her feel free….
