Since he was still working on cracking the encryption on the data they'd gotten from Fowdy's hard drive, Gambi decided that he needed to take a different approach in bringing down the ASA, going with their original plan.

That was why he was now in an empty parking garage, waiting for his contact to arrive.

"You're late. I thought I taught you punctuality." Gambi said as he turned to find Lady Eve standing in front of him.

"Apologies, but I needed to be certain that this wasn't a trap for me." Lady Eve said.

"No, it's not a trap." Gambi assured her.

"Then what do you want?" Evelyn asked.

"To ask for your help." Gambi said.

"With what exactly?" Lady Eve asked.

"Taking down the ASA." Gambi said and Lady Eve laughed until she saw the look on his face.

"Wait, you're serious?" Lady Eve asked.

"Yes I am. And I know that with your connections, you can help us pull it off." Gambi said.

"I'm sorry, but who is us?" Lady Eve asked.

"Black Lightning is alive." Gambi said.

"Impossible, Tobias Whale killed him." Lady Eve said.

"No, he didn't. Black Lightning is alive and he is preparing to take down the ASA and he's also enlisted the help of other heroes to do it. Including government organizations that are much higher up then the ASA." Gambi said.

"If the government begins looking into the ASA." Lady Eve said.

"As a high ranking member of the ASA's shadow board, your criminal activities would be exposed as well. Not good for your business." Gambi said.

"Maybe we can deal after all. If I help you take down the ASA, you'll ensure my immunity from these organizations." Lady Eve said.

"I can't make any promises about that, but I might be able to offer you something else." Gambi said.

"I'm listening." Lady Eve said.

"Tobias Whale. We both know that he will turn on you as soon as it's convenient for him. Working with him is not good for your business or your health either and you know that. His whole claim as a big shot in the criminal underworld is that he killed Black Lightning and he was wrong. Black Lightning is alive and he's preparing to make a comeback, which will threaten Tobias's standing in the underworld." Gambi said.

"I suppose that working with him could no longer be a profitable endeavor once Black Lightning returns if what you're saying is true and I am aware that he will no doubt double cross me if he thinks it will restore his standing." Lady Eve said.

"But if he were out of the picture, then you'd be free to take over his operation. Which would be very profitable for you." Gambi pointed out.

"I'll think about it." Lady Eve said and Gambi nodded, knowing that was probably the best he was going to get right now.

"It's probably best if no one knows about this conversation." Gambi said.

"Agreed." Lady Eve said as she walked away and Gambi smiled, since he knew her well enough to know that it was only a matter of time until she agreed after seeing the turn Tobias would take after Jefferson made his return as Black Lightning and Jennifer made her debut as Lightning.

"So, how'd it go?" Jefferson asked when Gambi returned.

"About as well as can be expected. She didn't say no, but she didn't say yes either. She said she'll think about it. However, I do think that working with her will better work to our advantage over working with Tobias." Gambi said.

"On that we agree." Jefferson said.

"Anyways, any ideas on when Ms. Smoak will be arriving here? If her record is any indication, she'll be a lot more useful in cracking this encryption than I am." Gambi said.

"I talked to Oliver and it sounds like his team is still in the process of getting set up on this earth, so he can't exactly afford to spare her. Maybe we should just send her the data." Jefferson said.

"Too risky. The ASA could end up intercept the transmission and not only threaten our operation, but Oliver Queen's as well." Gambi said and Jefferson nodded.

"What about a hard copy transfer. I'll have Anissa take the data to Star City, along with the formula for the serum needed to stabilize Oliver's sister." Jefferson said.

"That might work. But why Anissa?" Gambi asked.

"Because Jen has school, she and I need to work on protecting Freeland from the ASA, Tobias and the 100, you're needed here to run back end and Lynn needs to keep working on the cure. Besides, I can tell that Anissa could use a distraction from waiting for her powers to resurface. And get away from Jen, who seems to think it's a good idea to taunt Anissa about the fact that she still has her powers every chance she gets." Jefferson said as both men chuckled at Jen's antics.

"It will probably help Anissa feel useful and it is the best plan to get this data decrypted sooner rather than later." Gambi said as they began making arrangements, since Jefferson would need to let Oliver know that Anissa was coming before she just showed up in Star City.
