When Lynn came to, she found herself back in the ASA's lab.

"That son of a bitch." Lynn said as Odell entered the lab.

"Hello Dr. Stewart. Welcome to the pit." Odell said.

"What do you want?" Lynn asked.

"As I mentioned before, I am very interested in your research. Particularly that of a meta stabilization cure. But first, I'd like to know how you knew there was a need for one?" Odell asked.

"That's none of your business." Lynn said.

"I suppose that's true. All that matters is that you created it. And now I want you to make it for me." Odell said.

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't." Lynn said.

"Really, and why is that? It is your work that laid the foundations for the cure isn't it?" Odell asked.

"Yes, but the completed formula requires dark matter energy and I don't have access to it or understand anything about it." Lynn said.

"Then I suppose it's a good thingI'd need dark matter energy to at least start trying to make it work." Lynn said.

"We are in the process of acquiring that. But I suggest you start studying." Odell said emotionlessly as he walked out of the lab, but his guards remained.

"C'mon Jeff." Lynn said under her breath, hoping that Jefferson would find her and also warn Dr. Snow that the ASA was coming for her as well.

When Black Lightning and Thunder arrived at the lab, they found it was abandoned.

"Gambi, do you have eyes on Lynn?" Black Lightning asked.

"Negative. I'm going through security footage now, but I already have an idea on who's behind this." Gambi said as he found that the cameras had been wiped.

"Yep, this confirms it. The ASA took Lynn." Gambi said.

"What? How could they even know about her work?" Thunder asked.

"I don't know, but if they know about her work, they'll know that she didn't work on it alone." Gambi said.

"Dr. Snow." Thunder said.

"Trust me, from what I've heard about that woman, the ASA is gonna bite off more than they can chew with her, not to mention she has several powerful friends that could prove to be a problem for them." Black Lightning said.

"So what you're saying is that going after her will just create more problems?" Thunder said.

"Yep. In the meantime, we need to get to the Pit. Gambi, have Lightning meet us there." Black Lightning said.

"No Jeff, return to the Sanctum now." Gambi said.

"But Gambi." Black Lightning said.

"Jeff, I promise I will explain when you get back, but just do it." Gambi said.

"Fine. Let's go Thunder." Black Lightning grumbled as they headed out.

"So, tell me again why we aren't going after the ASA right now?" Anissa asked as she and her dad entered the Sanctum to find Jen already there.

"I was gonna ask the same question." Jen said.

"Because we need to think tactically about this. Right now, the ASA is only interested in Lynn because of her research. But if Black Lightning, Thunder and Lightning go charging into the Pit right now, then it'll just be a matter of time for Odell to discover Lynn's connection to you and your identities, think about how much more danger she'll be in." Gambi said.

"They'd have the perfect bargaining chip to keep us in check." Jefferson said.

"Exactly. Right now, Lynn is relatively safe, since the ASA won't hurt her as long as she's useful to them. But as soon as Odell figures out her real value, that will put her in significantly more danger." Gambi said.

"Okay, for now, we'll leave Lynn where she is, but I don't like it." Jefferson said.

"None of us do dad, but it's the best call for right now." Anissa said.

"So what do we do in the meantime?" Jen asked.

"I'm gonna call Barry, tell him to expect the ASA to make a move on his turf and then we're heading to Central City ourselves. I'm also gonna call Kara and ask her to try and get a bit of a move on with that article." Jefferson said and they all nodded in agreement.
