Carson Williams was leading his team through Star Labs towards the area where his scanner was showing that the dark matter was kept when he heard a whooshing sound and turned to see his entire team was gone.

"What the hell?" Williams asked, only to be blasted backwards and he turned to see Vibe standing in front of him.

"Neat trick. I wonder how you'll feel when it's done to you." Williams said as he attempted to vibe blast Vibe, only for their two energy fields to meet.

"So you can copy my powers. Neat trick, but you may have my powers, but you don't have my skills with them." Vibe said as he blasted him back before breaching out.

"That's new." Williams said as a new breach opened and Black Lightning jumped out of it.

"Hey Williams, remember me?" Black Lightning asked.

"You." Williams said his eyes glowed when he began using Black Lightning's powers.

"You sure you want to do this dance?" Black Lightning asked.

"I was gonna ask you the same question." Williams said as the two blasted each other with electricity.

"You don't want to dance with me. I have your powers and the finest tactical training on the planet." Williams said.

"But I have something that you don't." Black Lightning said with a grin.

"What might that be?" Williams asked.

"A suit to protect me from the electricity coursing through my nervous system." Black Lightning said as he watched Williams collapse.

"Flash, now." Black Lightning said as Flash sped up and locked the meta dampener cuffs on Williams.

"I'll get him to medical so that he doesn't die, but then we figure out what to do with him and our other captives." Flash said, since they'd captured every ASA operative in the building thanks to his and Velocity's speed, now they just had to figure out what to do with them.

"How's Williams doing?" Barry asked Caitlin as she treated him.

"He should be stable enough to move to a pipeline cell in a few days. The question is, what do we do with him and all the other ASA agents we captured?" Caitlin asked.

"We could try a prisoner exchange." Jesse suggested.

"Not gonna work. Odell does not negotiate and there's no way he'd hold up his end of the bargain." Gambi said.

"Then what should we do?" Cisco asked.

"The first thing we need to do is send out a warning to all metas in this city to go into hiding to keep the ASA from abducting them, since I get the feeling that the ASA will be very interested in metas that are stable." Barry said.

"He's right. Metahumans that are completely stabilized and can be instantly weaponized, Odell will jump at the opportunity." Gambi said.

"So how do we do that?" Anissa asked.

"Iris, send out a statement on your site to warn them, since last time I checked, Danvers Daily News is pretty well read in this city." Barry said.

"I'm on it, but if I get in trouble with Kara for it, I'm blaming you." Iris said.

"Fair enough." Barry agreed.

"What's our next on our list?" Jen asked.

"We need to get our dark matter to a more secure location." Caitlin said.

"Cisco, did you complete babel protocol?" Barry asked and Cisco immediately understood what Barry was asking and rushed over to activate it.

"What's babel protocol?" Jen asked as Cisco activated it.

"Emergency defense system, one step above lockdown. It puts up a forcefield around Star Labs." Barry said.

"A forcefield." Jefferson said.

"Yep. Only way in or out of the facility now is by either a breach or Iris's mirror portals." Cisco said.

"Only problem is that our comms don't work, since no signal can get through." Caitlin said.

"Actually, ours will." Barry said.

"What?" Iris asked.

"Part of babel protocol is that it switches our comms to an analog system that Cisco and Jesse designed." Barry said.

"Nice." Iris said.

"So right now, we're holding up inside this place?" Jefferson asked.

"For now. Until we can go on the offensive, we need to fortify our defenses." Barry said.

"Well, I'm going to head to my office and start working on the warning article. Let me know if you need me." Iris said.

"Be careful. We can't be sure that Odell won't be able to track you." Barry said.

"Got it." Iris said as she kissed him before jumping into a turned off monitor.

"How does she do that?" Jefferson asked.

"It's complicated." Barry said as they continued working on a plan.
