Chapter 25
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Tori asked her brother as she approached him.
"Just watch the news." Tobias said as he gestured to the TV, where the news was going on about the ASA and Freeland's conflict with them.
"The ASA is out of the picture." Tori said and Tobias nodded.
"And now that their metas have been revealed and if what my information tells me, stabilized, they are ripe for the picking." Tobias said.
"The metas may have been revealed, but we still don't know their current location, since they've likely been moved to a new location by now." Tori said.
"Details. We'll find out where they're being held soon enough and when we do, we'll go shopping." Tobias said with a grin.
"You sure you want to take that gamble? Our only advantage against Black Lightning is that he was preoccupied dealing with the ASA, but with them out of the picture, he's likely going to be searching for you." Tori reminded him.
"What better way to prepare for the coming war than by getting myself an army of metas?" Tobias said.
"Fair enough. I'll put some feelers out, see if I can get a lead on where the metas are being kept." Tori said and Tobias nodded.
"What do you mean they're gone?" Jefferson asked Barry over the phone, since Barry had just told him that every ASA prisoner in Star Labs somehow escaping from custody.
"Exactly that. Someone managed to bypass our security measures and broke Williams and all his troops out and they didn't leave any trace of who broke them out or where they went. I promise we'll keep you posted if we find anything." Barry said.
"Okay. Let me know if we can help in any way." Jefferson said as he hung up.
"That didn't sound good." Henderson said as he walked into the house.
"What are you doing here Henderson?" Jefferson asked.
"Letting you know that Odell has been transferred into the FBI's custody and is awaiting trial, though it likely won't be until after that panel tomorrow." Henderson said.
"I bet you took a lot of pleasure watching him get dragged away." Jefferson said with a smile.
"You have no idea. It was so satisfying to watch that bastard get what he deserves." Henderson said.
"Oh believe me, it was just as satisfying to be the one to drop him at your doorstep. It was very hard to resist the urge to blast him." Jefferson said.
"I can imagine. So anyways, what was that phone call about?" Henderson asked.
"Superhero stuff." Jefferson said.
"Jeff, I know who you are." Henderson said.
"Yes, but you don't know who any other superheroes are beyond my family and I don't have permission to change that." Jefferson said.
"Jeff." Henderson said and Jefferson sighed.
"That was the Flash, calling to tell me that Williams and the other ASA troops we had locked up in Central City were mysteriously broken out." Jefferson said.
"Any ideas on who or how?" Henderson asked.
"None yet, but they promised to keep us posted." Jefferson said.
"Okay then. You looking forward to the panel tomorrow?" Henderson asked.
"Yep. I can't wait to make sure that the ASA is officially shut down and Odell and Grey are all held accountable for their actions." Jefferson said.
