《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 32

"What's going on?" Lena asked when she and Alex arrived at the Tower to find they were the last ones there, since Kara, Mon-El, Nia, J'onn, Brainy and Winn had already arrived.
"Non is making his first move to initiate Myriad, I'm still trying to figure out why it took so long for him to do it, since this is the first peep we've heard from him in months." Kara said.
"Maybe he was trying to find a way to reconfigure Myriad, since he probably figures that Astra would've told us how to disable it." Winn suggested.
"We can figure that out once we have him in custody." J'onn said.
"I'm surprised you've stuck at the DEO this long." Kara said.
"Well, Alex's injury made it difficult for me to leave." J'onn said.
"Anyways, back on subject, what is the plan? Where is Non attacking?" Lena asked.
"Obsidian North. Not sure why they changed from Lord Tech, but at least it means we won't have to deal with that arrogant jackass Maxwell Lord. No offense Winn." Kara said.
"None taken. I'm actually hoping I can get my job back at the DEO so I can quit." Winn said.
"Done." J'onn said immediately.
"Great. So, what's the plan?" Winn asked.
"Non is likely going to be planting the first part of Myriad into Obsidian's network. We stop him now and we stop the whole program." Kara said.
"Unless he's found a way to reconfigure it." Brainy pointed out.
"He's got a point. Non would likely have found a way to reconfigure Myriad after Astra defected." Lena agreed.
"That's why you both are going in, since not only are you both two of our brightest minds, but Brainy, you're part computer and Lena, as much as I hate to say it, no one in this room knows more about Myriad and mind control tech then you do." Kara said.
"Okay, so it sounds like we're finally getting to the plan." Alex said.
"A DEO strike team is already en route to Obsidian, but their orders are to get the civilians to safety." J'onn said.
"We'll be the ones doing the actual fighting. Two teams. One will engage the main attack force at the entrance of the facility and the other will use the transmat portal to enter Obsidian's server room, bypassing all the fighting." Kara said.

"Okay, so I'm assuming that Brainy and I will be on that team." Lena said and Kara nodded.
"J'onn, Mon-El and I will be on team offense, Nia and Alex, you two will go with Lena and Brainy to act as defense while they do their thing." Kara said.
"Does that mean I get my bracelet off?" Alex asked hopefully.
"No. Considering that you still haven't mastered super strength yet, no way you're going into the field with your powers yet. Besides, you don't need them." Kara said.
"I know, but they would make this easier." Alex complained.
"The answer is no and that's final. Winn, is the transmat portal locked on?" Kara asked and Winn nodded.
"It is, but why am I not going?" Winn asked.
"We need someone here to run mission control." Kara said and Winn grinned.
"And no one is better at that then me." Winn said.
"Exactly. Now, let's suit up and move out." Kara said.
Obsidian North was in chaos as Non's troops poured in.
"You know your objectives." Non said to his soldiers as he rolled his eyes as the pathetic human authorities rushed towards them.
"Freeze. Get on the ground now." the security guards shouted at him as they aimed guns at his troops.
"That might work on pathetic humans such as yourselves, but." Non said as he levitated into the air and blasted one of the guards with his heat vision.
"It will not work on me or my soldiers. I recommend that you run now. This will be your only warning." Non said as the guards looked at each other warily, as they slowly began backing up.
"Too slow." Non said, as he began to fire his heat vision again, only for it to be blocked by Supergirl, who landed in front of the guards and used her cape to shield them from the blast.
"You." Non said.
"Attacking innocent bystanders. That's low even for you." Supergirl said.
"They attacked me first." Non said.
"You provoked them. And besides, we both know that's a lie." Supergirl said.
"You really think that you alone can stop all my troops?" Non asked her.

"Who says I'm alone?" Supergirl asked as J'onn and Valor joined her.
"The DEO strike force is getting the civilians to safety." J'onn said.
"Good. Now let's keep their focus on us." Supergirl said.
"Yeah, I'd say mission accomplished." Valor said.
"Destroy the martian and the daxamite," Non said the word daxamite with such disgust Supergirl briefly thought of Rhea's feelings towards kryptonians, "leave my niece to me." Non said to his troops, who all nodded as both sides charged at each other.
At the same time, Alex and Dreamer were standing guard as Lena and Brainy attempted to access the server core and disable Myriad, but they were having a hard time accessing it.
"I don't understand, we've both analyzed Myriad and it shouldn't be this hard to access it. The program wasn't built with any defensive software." Brainy said.
"Wait, look at this." Lena said as she showed him her tablet, which had a copy of the code they were attempting to hack.
"That is alien code." Brainy said.
"Yes, but no one knows Myriad's programming better than I do and this is not it. It's not even kryptonian. We haven't been dealing with Myriad, we've been dealing with a trojan horse that's been preventing us from accessing Myriad. But even so, the way it's operating, repelling all our attempts, it's almost like." Lena said.
"It's alive." Brainy said.
"Yes exactly. Wait Brainy, what is it?" Lena asked.
"This code is not Kryptonian, it's Coluan. That is how Non has been repelling us, he has a Coluan guarding Myriad." Brainy said.
"Wait, a Coluan?" Alex asked as she and Dreamer joined them.
"Yes, in fact, one that you and Supergirl know quite well. My ancestor, I believe you know her as Indigo." Brainy said.
"So how do we get past this, since Supergirl, J'onn and Valor cannot hold Non's troops off forever and we need to stop Myriad before it's fully booted." Dreamer said.
"The only way to get past Indigo is to actually eject her from the system." Brainy said.
"And how do we do that?" Alex asked.
"If I change to my digital form, I can enter the computer core and attempt to subdue her." Brainy said.
"No, that's too dangerous to do without backup. Besides, it might not be necessary. Winn do you copy?" Alex asked over the comms.
"Yeah, what's up?" Winn asked.
"Indigo is guarding Myriad, any chance you can whip up that malware you used to beat her before?" Alex asked.
"No problem." Winn said.
"I can give you my access codes to upload them into the system remotely." Lena said.
"It won't work that way." Brainy said.
"What do you mean?" Lena asked.
"I've run the statistics, while the malware would work and could even be configured to target any alien coding in the system, thus also eliminating Myriad, but any attempt to remotely upload it would be repelled. The only way to successfully upload the malware would be if Winn uploaded it directly into my AI core and then I entered the cyber realm, I can get past her defenses and upload the code directly into the system." Brainy said.
"Okay, let's do it." Dreamer said.
"Wait, Brainy, are you sure you want to do that? You know what could happen if you don't upload the code in time." Winn said.
"I know and it's a risk I'm willing to take." Brainy said.
"Mind filling the rest of us in." Dreamer asked.
"If I upload the code directly into Brainy's AI core, I'd essentially be infecting him with the malware too. It could destroy him if he doesn't transfer the code into his ancestor and the Obsidian mainframe in time, which means someone will have to go into cyberspace with him to guard him while he uploads it." Winn said.
"I'll go." Dreamer said immediately.
"Okay then, let's do it." Lena said.
"I'm giving Winn access to my AI core now." Brainy said.
"Beginning upload." Winn said over the comms.
