Chapter 14: Too late

"What's happening Mikaela, "

"Lena Luthor spotted in the South-East of the Nightzone. No idea how she entered, somehow she got trough the token system."

"Fuck, we'll watch out. Supergirl might be with her, those two are always close."

"Fuck... does she work for Lena? If she knows where the Nightzone is... She'll know how to get inside even if we collapse the entrances. If supergirl knows about this place we're done. Even if we get her out, she'll be able to break through the barriers..."

"Wait, I might be able to help... Are you sure me and Lauren are able to get away before they notice?"

"Yes. We got everything covered. If it was just Lena we could easily lead them out there and block her way back in. But supergirl..."

"Take this" I told her, handing her the device I had on me. "This blocks supergirls' powers, it might help you guys keep her out of here. I don't want people to ruin this place because of me. The Nightzone should remain free. "

"Thanks y/n! How did you even get something like that?! We'll make sure you and Lauren get out of here before they realize. I'll be joining Lexa for now, we'll lead them out of here. Lauren you know where to go right?"

"Yes, Mikaela, see you in a few days!"

As we ran onto the main street of the Nightzone everything seemed normal. Once in a while I saw a familiar face in the crowd, and was met with a look of surprise. But Lauren and I walked by quickly so no one would stop to have a talk. We moved to the opposite side of the Nightzone to make sure not to cross Lena.

Lauren's plan was to make no fuss, so Lena would think she got in undetected. She'd waste her time here, while Lauren and I got away. Giving the supergirl blocker to Mickaela was probably the best decision too. Because supergirl wouldn't notice it wearing off as I got away.

"How are we going to get to the airport, Lauren?" I asked. Sure we'll be fast enough?

"You'll see y/n"

After a while we reached the entry to a garage. It wasn't too big and you could hear the traffic far above it. In the middle stood the most beautiful vintage motorbike ever.

"You like it?" Lauren smirked.

"Yes... I'm so jealous right now... You got it? This was your dream bike... omg Lauren it looks even better in real life."

"We'll be driving this beauty to the airport."

Lauren threw me a helmet, and put on her own protective gear. She had a spare motorjacket too. Everything  was fully black with a few red details around the edges, it didn't have a logo or anything. Great, because otherwise we'd be recognised by Lena's men immediately.

We both got on the bike as the floor of the garage started moving upwards. The ceiling opened up and as we reached ground-level it stopped. We ended up in what seemed like an old garage building in the city. Lauren drove off carefully, not too fast, not too slow so she wouldn't attract too much attention. And so I left Nightzone one last time.

The whole drive we had no problem with Lena or her men. So as soon as we arrived we parked the bike and headed to the airport.

"How will we get through security?" I asked Lauren. "I mean. You're quit infamous, and I don't think we have tickets."

"You seem to forget I have friends everywhere, y/n. Lena isn't the only women with power around here"

As soon as Lauren and I approached, a few women came to greet us.

"Mrs Jauregui, this way please." The tallest one of them said. She looked like the usual staff around here. It was a busy day, so we waltzed through a lot of people. One guy knocked me over as he hurried to his line to check in his luggage.I had to pull Lauren's arm so she wouldn't cuss him out.

 The women led us to another part of the airport where it wasn't as busy and led us trough a lot of doors with restricted access written on them. We ended up getting on a little cart. As we drove on the (idk the English word for it) I noticed the women wore a subtle dragonfly badge on their uniform.

"So you guys work for Lauren too?"

"Yes we do" The tall woman replied, she had her hair in a short bob and her eyebrows were thick and pointy. I could notice tattoos peeking out the collar of her shirt, she must've been from the Nightzone too. "You'll need bodyguards."

"So how do you guys get us on one of those passengerplanes?....wait..."

After a while we arrived at a smaller airplane.

"The fuck Lauren... a private Jet.." I muttered.

"I got my connections" She smiled as we approached.

More women with dragonfly badges were awaiting us.

"Welcome Mrs Jauregui and Mrs y/l/n, please enter. We'll soon be ready to depart"

My mouth fell open as I saw the inside of the plane. Finally an airplane with legroom!

"Don't be so shocked y/n. Besides... it isn't mine, it's from a friend. Wouldn't waste my money on a plane like this."

As soon as Lauren and I sat down, Mikaela called Lauren.

-"Laur... someone must've seen you enter the airport. Lena left. She knows you guys are leaving. We intercepted one of her signals when she was here. I hope you're ready to depart soon."

"We are. Don't worry. Did you lockdown the Nightzone?"

"Yes. The place is clear. None of her men stayed behind. She really is adement on catching y/n. Be safe you guys. I'll see you once I get there too."

"As soon as Lauren hung up, she went over to talk to the pilot."

"Ever been to the UK?" one of the bodyguards asked.

"Yes. I was born in Europe. We used to take the ferry to the UK, from Calais, France to Dover. Never been to Oxford though. My plan has always been to move back, things just got... delayed... The US just never really felt like home. Guess I'm finally going back now."

As soon as the plane started moving, Lauren returned. As we started to take off I could see at least 15 dark cars drive towards where we got on the plane.

Yet i got the feeling that things weren't over yet. She wouldn't stop until she found me.
