"Thank you for meeting with me Director Michaels." Jefferson said as Lyla entered his home.

"After everything you did during the crisis, it's the least I can do. I'm assuming that Barry is the one who gave you my phone number?" Lyla asked.

"He did. I need Argus's help, since from what he and Oliver Queen have told me, under your watch, Argus is what the ASA was meant to be." Jefferson said.

"So, how can I help you?" Lyla asked as Jefferson handed her a usb drive.

"That drive contains all the information on Tobias Whale's criminal operations, including his books, which show that he has nearly all of Freeland's police department on his payroll, which is why I turned to you, since we need outside law enforcement to come in and apprehend him and from what Oliver told me, the FBI is not the way to go." Jefferson said.

"No surprise there, since I'm pretty sure that Oliver despises the FBI these days, for good reason. But still, I'm not sure how Tobias Whale can be classified as an argus case." Lyla said.

"Tobias is a metahuman." Jefferson said.

"You should've led with that. What are his powers and how did he get them?" Lyla asked.

"He takes regular injections of a serum called MB4 that slows his body's aging process and enhances his strength." Jefferson said.

"Okay, that is enough to make him an Argus case. Do you know where he is now?" Lyla asked.

"Markovia." Jefferson said as he brought Lyla fully to speed on everything that was happening.

"Okay, sounds like he is definitely an Argus issue and while we will help protect Freeland from the Markovians, I assure you that we are not going to go the same lengths the ASA did. It will not be an occupation. If anything, we'll likely just take over the old ASA facilities in Freeland, along with assisting with security at the meta school." Lyla said.

"The only reason I'm trusting your word on that is because Oliver Queen trusts you and from what I can tell, that man has serious trust issues." Jefferson said and Lyla chuckled.

"You have no idea. But yes, I am one of the few people Oliver does trust, so that alone should earn me some credit." Lyla said.

"It does. And thank you. We're already working on a plan to deal with Markovia, you can ask your friend Barry Allen for the specifics." Jefferson said and Lyla nodded, right as Jefferson's phone buzzed with a message from Gambi.

"I'm so sorry, I have to go." Jefferson said.

"It's no problem, I should get back to Argus HQ and see if I can put this data to any use. I'll be in touch." Lyla said and Jefferson nodded as they went their separate ways.

"So, how did it go?" Gambi asked as Jefferson entered the Sanctum to see both of his daughters suiting up.

"Pretty well. I think that Lyla and Argus are going to be a real step up over the ASA, since from what I can tell, Lyla Michaels actually has morals." Jefferson said.

"Great." Jen said.

"So, what's going on?" Jefferson asked.

"Our satellite detected a surge of down neutrino energy that I know is associated with the teleporter that the Markovians use on their payroll." Gambi said.

"Are you sure it wasn't Lyla, since I've heard that she's a meta with the ability to teleport." Jefferson asked, but Gambi shook his head no.

"No, this was nowhere near your house and you seem to be forgetting that a satellite means that we aren't just limited to Freeland anymore. We can actually trace the teleporter back to wherever he came from and it would appear that while I still can't pin down exactly where it is, the signal appeared from Freeland to Markovia." Gambi said.

"So this is definitely the Markovian's teleporter. Where did he land here in the US?" Jefferson asked.

"It looks about a mile south of the Perdi farm. I thought you should go along with Thunder and Lightning to find out what exactly it is they were doing out there, since there really isn't anything in that area that could be considered a tactical target to them." Gambi said.

"At least as far as we can tell anyways." Anissa said.

"New Earth could mean new challenges. Let's go see what we're dealing with." Jefferson said as he activated watch and suit up.
