Chapter 13

"What took you guys so long?" Barry asked when the rest of the team entered the Sanctum.

"Sorry, we got a bit preoccupied back in Central City." Oliver said.

"With what?" Jefferson asked.

"One of the metas we rescued from the ASA in Central City was Dinah. I restored her memories with the memory tech Cisco whipped up and she went back to Star City with John and Thea." Oliver explained.

"Who's Dinah?" Jefferson asked.

"A teammate." Oliver said.

"Okay then, let's get to work. Is the tracer still working?" Jefferson asked Gambi, who checked.

"Yep. It confirms that Odell is at the Pit." Gambi said.

"But the Pit isn't our only objective." Jefferson said.

"What else is?" Barry asked.

"The ASA has at least a dozen kids locked up in cryo pods and all of them could use Caitlin's stabilization cure." Jefferson said.

"The only problem is, we don't know if they're being held in the same place they were before." Anissa said.

"That sounds like a me problem." Cisco said.

"So we split up. Two teams. One goes after the pit, the other saves the metas." Oliver said.

"But how do we decide who goes where?" Jen asked.

"I'm going to be a part of the Pit team, since in addition to bringing in Odell, I also need to rescue Lynn." Jefferson said.

"I'm going too. Odell tricked me into being a weapon for him in the old reality, I need to pay him back in kind." Jen said.

"Okay then. While I want a shot at Odell too, I think dad and Jen have more of a right to that, so I will go with the team getting the pods, but we'll need help moving them." Anissa said.

"Can the pods be moved?" Kara asked.

"They can, but, we'd need special equipment to do that, which we do not have at our disposal." Anissa said.

"We may not need it." Caitlin said.

"What do you mean?" Jefferson asked.

"After I tested the stabilization serum on Thea and it worked, I began making more of it." Caitlin said.

"How many vials do you have?" Oliver asked as he saw where Caitlin was going with this.

"About a dozen. It might not be enough for all the metas, but I can go back and make more." Caitlin said.

"So we wouldn't have to move the pods. We'd just have to open them and stabilize the kids inside." Anissa said.

"Exactly." Caitlin said.

"There is one catch with that." Jefferson said.

"And what might that be?" Oliver asked.

"Those kids have been in the pods since the 80s." Jefferson said.

"What?" Barry asked as Jefferson explained the vaccine program to them.

"Okay, well we could keep them unconscious until we find a place to put them." Oliver suggested.

"Or, maybe there's another solution." Gambi said.

"What do you mean?" Jefferson asked.

"There's a good chance that Odell might consider transferring those pods from wherever they are now to the Pit." Gambi said.

"So we wait until they do the transfer, then ambush the convoy on it's way to the Pit, since for the metas that we don't have the cure for, the trucks will likely be equipped to maintain the pods." Oliver said.

"Exactly." Gambi said.

"Sir, we suffered a heavy loss in Central City and I wouldn't be surprised if Black Lightning and his associates followed us back to Freeland. What is our plan?" Grey asked.

"You're forgetting something Major Grey." Odell said as Lieutenant Grayle entered the room.

"You called for me sir?" Grayle asked.

"Yes, Lieutenant, take a team to the pod facility and have the kids in them chipped and awakened." Odell said.

"Sir?" Grayle asked.

"If Black Lightning is going to wage a war against us, then I'm hitting him with everything we've got." Odell said.

"But sir, those kids aren't stabilized yet. If they exert themselves too much, we'll lose them." Grey said.

"Luckily they can always be replaced thanks to Green Light." Odell said.

"Yes sir. I'll prepare for Green Light to be sent into Freeland immediately." Grey said and Odell nodded as Grayle walked out of the room, thinking that even if those kids were stable, sending them to fight Black Lightning and his allies was a huge mistake that would end up getting them killed regardless. He knew what he had to do in order to uphold his oath and silently vowed to do what he had to in order to make things right.
