3rd Person POV

Upon hearing screaming coming from the elevator in CatCo, Willow Greene rushes over to help. The green-eyed girl had been on a different floor in the building and rushes to the elevator shafts, one of which is open. She makes her way through the emergency exit on the ceiling of the elevator and climbs to the top, just in time to see the other elevator rushing past

Willow throws out her hands and her telekinesis grabs onto the elevator, enveloping. She is pulled forward a step, loses her balance, and is pitched forwards. She is thrown over the side of the elevator in a free fall

But she doesn't fall very far because Supergirl swoops her up and puts her back on the elevator before saving the other person in the elevator

"Are you okay?" Willow can hear Supergirl ask

"I am now." Andrea says. "Thank you for saving me. What the hell happened?" She questions

Supergirl glances up before looking back at Andrea. "I don't know." Supergirl says. "Come on, let's get you somewhere safe." She says, taking Andrea back to her office

"Someone tried to kill you." A man says, handing Andrea a file

"How did you know?"

"Because of this." He says. "It was delivered five minutes ago. It's an Anti-Obsidian manifesto."

"'Obsidian North is technological genocide'." Andrea reads. "'With Andrea Rojas now dead, consider this your final warning. Cancel the Obsidian Platinum launch or more will die'. He can threaten whatever he wants. I will not postpone." She growls

"We have more cases than I care to count." J'onn says, putting a box of files down on the table. "Runaway aliens, missing persons, and... the odd wayward spouse."

"And still no leads on what Lex is up to." Alex says

"We will get to the bottom of that, I promise you." J'onn says. "Are you okay?" He asks Alex

"I've had a clear mission and a boss to answer to every day of my life since medical school." Alex says. "And now, with all this freedom, I'm just starting to feel a little..."

"Discombobulated." J'onn says

"Yes." Alex says

"Hey." Supergirl says, walking in. "Lex just personally assigned me to bodyguard Andrea Rojas until Platinum's launch tonight."

"Bodyguard?" Alex asks. "Why does Lex care so much about the launch?"

"Exactly. He must have an ulterior motive against Obsidian." Supergirl says

"Or it's a trap." J'onn says

"Well, either way, I'll investigate when I'm with Andrea, but I came here first to see if you guys could help." Supergirl says

"Do you have any idea who attacked Andrea?" J'onn asks

"I saw pink energy in the elevator while it was falling." Supergirl says. "And Brainy says it could be Chlorophyllian, but he also said their energy is impossible to track, so..."

"Chlorophyllians are a peaceful race." J'onn says. "They absorb sunlight through their dermis in order to super-grow crops. They shouldn't be able to siphon off electrical energy. Still, it's a lead. We'll get on it."

"Well, if you need me I'll be glued to Andrea's side." Supergirl says. "And looking for a way to find Willow Greene." She says with a sigh

"She's been going into work." Alex says. "Marvin's been keeping me updated."
