Chapter 6

"Have you had any luck locating Commander Williams?" Odell asked Major Grey.

"No sir. Best we can figure he and all our other operatives that we sent to Star Labs are still in there. However, we still haven't found a way to breach the energy shield that's been put up around the building." Grey said.

"And there's been no luck in disabling that shield?" Odell asked.

"No sir. As far as we can tell the only way to disable that shield is to get someone inside it and while we do have operatives inside the building, we can only assume that they've been captured." Grey said.

"And how exactly is that possible, considering the fact the building was empty when they entered it?" Odell asked.

"We don't know. Best we can figure is that the few staff members who remained at the facility kept working even after it was shut down and made some improvements to it's security system." Grey said.

"What is the status on the acquisition of Dr. Caitlin Snow?" Odell asked.

"Our agents are searching, but so far there's been no sign of her either." Grey said.

"How is it possible that she has been able to avoid our patrols?" Odell asked.

"I don't know sir. Is it possible that maybe Dr. Stewart warned her before we arrived in the city?" Grey asked.

"No. She's been monitored ever since she entered our custody and she's not been allowed to communicate since she arrived." Odell said.

"Well, whatever the reason is, we can't find her, but we're still searching the city." Grey said.

"What about this Iris West?" Odell asked.

"We've apprehended her father and this woman that we believe is his girlfriend." Grey asked.

"So you've done something right. Have you located her mother yet? I want as much leverage against her as possible." Odell asked.

"Her mother was listed as deceased." Grey said.

"Still, put some feelers out in case this turns out to be a false trail." Odell said and Grey nodded.

"Yes sir. You'll also be interested to know that we've already established a detainment facility and are bringing in every meta we can find in the city. Including one I think you'll be interested in." Grey said.

"Which one." Odell asked.

"This meta, wearing a dark purple track suit and a mask. We think he might have a similar occupation as Black Lightning." Grey said as she showed him her tablet showing an image of Elongated Man in a cell.

"Have you determined his identity?" Odell asked.

"No, his mask is proving to be quite difficult to remove." Grey said.

"Brilliant. What about the other metas?" Odell asked.

"We've begun amassing quite a collection, of which possessing a wide array of abilities, all of them more powerful and promising than any of the metas we have in pods in Freeland." Grey said.

"Can you give me a list?" Odell asked as Grey pulled one up.

"Super strength, skin turning iron, teleportation, combustion inducement, the list goes on and on." Grey said.

"Very promising indeed." Odell said.

Barry and Iris were standing in the Cortex, trying to figure out where Joe and Cecille were being held when they heard two people come up behind them.

"So, what's the deal?" Kara asked as Barry and Iris turned to see her and Kate enter the Cortex.

"Kate, wasn't expecting you, but welcome. Kara, please tell me that article is nearly ready?" Barry said.

"It's almost done. Hopefully I can get this done quickly, since I need to get back to National City." Kara said.

"Why, what's going?" Iris asked.

"Alex got hurt on our last mission." Kara said.

"Oh my god. Is she okay?" Barry asked as he proceeded to hug her.

"She's paralyzed from the waist down." Kara said.

"Kara I'm so sorry. We could talk to Felicity, she might have something that could help." Iris said.

"I appreciate that, but Lena is already working on something." Kara said.

"Okay then. Well, your timing could not be better. The ASA took my father." Iris said.

"What?" Kara asked.

"Yeah, so we were hoping you could use your super senses to find him." Barry said.

"I'm on it. I'll just get Cisco to breach me out." Kara said.

"Yeah, why are we relying on these breaches in the first place?" Kate asked.

"We have a forcefield up around Star Labs to keep the ASA out. Only thing that can get through is our comms, since Cisco rigged up a new frequency that passes through it." Barry said.

"Got it. So, where do we start?" Kate asked.

"Let me bring you up to speed." Barry said.
