Green Arrow, Black Canary and Thea, or as she preferred to be called, Tsunami, were dealing with members of a new gang.
"Any ideas on who these guys work for?" Tsunami asked.
"Just a street name, the Mayor." Black Canary said as she used her sonic blasts to knock them back.
"Something tells me he wasn't elected." Tsunami said as she used a new ability she's been learning and blasted some thugs with water.
"Well maybe now we can figure out where's he holed up." Green Arrow said as he took out another thug and held him at arrowpoint.
"Where's the Mayor? I want to arrange a meeting." Green Arrow asked.
"Keep dreaming." the thug said.
"Your mistake." Green Arrow said as he tossed the thug across the docks.
"Diggle, any luck on what they've stolen?" Black Canary asked.
"Yeah, I've got them in my sights, but considering how many thugs are guarding the shipment, I'm gonna need help with the extraction." John said as he drove after a convoy of some kind.
"I'm on it." Tsunami said as she used another new skill she'd discovered and generated a trail of water that she rode away (imagine it as a water version of Killer Frost riding a stream of ice).
"She really loves doing that." Green Arrow said.
"Well you can't deny how cool it is." Black Canary said as they finished up there.
"Hey boys, something tells me those don't belong to you." Tsunami said as she arrived at the convoy.
"It's another one of those metahuman. Good thing the boss had us come prepared." the leader said as he tossed something into the air that detonated into a wave of bright light that blinded Tsunami and caused her to lose focus and fall from the air.
"Well, that was new." Tsunami said as she got up in time to see the truck leave.
"Did you guys get him?" Green Arrow asked over the comms.
"No, they had some unexpected toys." Dig said.
"Great, just what we needed. Get back to the foundry so we can figure out what it is they stole." Green Arrow said.
"Copy that." Tsunami said.
"You okay?" Dig asked.
"Peachy." Tsunami said as she glided out.
"So, any ideas what the Mayor and his gang stole?" Thea asked as Laurel checked the computers.
"No, but they were armed with some pretty fancy toys. I recognized the hardware they were using. Fully automatic M4A1 assault rifles. M4A1s are military grade weapons." Laurel said.
"Stolen, most likely." Oliver said.
"But stolen from where is the question?" John asked.
"I don't know, but Dig, check with Lyla, see if she can help narrow it down. We also need to figure out where the Mayor is getting tech that could disable metas, since Thea, we trained you so that flashes of light wouldn't be able to disorient you enough to disable your powers. But this was. We need to know where this tech is coming from and we need to know now." Oliver said and John nodded as Sara walked in.
"What happen to you guys?" Sara asked.
"We were going after some members of the Mayor's administration and it went south." Laurel said.
"And given that the mayor has been dead for 2 months, I'm assuming you mean the new crimelord in the Glades." Sara asked and Oliver nodded.
"Well, that sounds bad." Sara said.
"Yeah, but I think we need to get some rest and tackle it hard in the morning." Oliver said as Thea and Laurel walked out.
"Actually Oliver, I wanted to talk to you about something." Sara said.
"Shoot." Oliver said.
"Merlyn Global is going under and Tommy is worried about Stellmoor Industries taking it over, since that would also result in the demolition of my clinic and well, he's too proud to ask you, but." Sara said and Oliver knew where this was going.
"I will talk to Walter and I'm sure that he will be more than happy to do so." Oliver said and Sara looked at him gratefully.
Tommy had just entered the boardroom of Merlyn Global and was discouraged to see Rochev waiting for him.
"You can't win this. I now own 50% of the stock. By tomorrow, I'll have the outstanding five percent and I will control your company. Any attempt to fight me will lead to litigation and leave you penniless. And trust me, poverty isn't as glamorous as Charles Dickens made it look." Isabel said, right as Walter and Oliver entered the room.
"Not so fast Ms. Rochev." Walter said.
"What's going on?" Tommy asked.
"Queen Consolidated bought up the last few shares of Merlyn Global when they were released this morning and we have decided to allow Mr. Merlyn to remain in control." Walter said, much to Tommy's pleasant surprise.
"Really, well that is a shock." Isabel said as Tommy grinned at her.
"Well Ms. Rochev, Now I know I majored in dropping out, but I'm pretty sure that makes us partners going forward. So I guess We will be seeing a lot of each other." Tommy said.
"You aren't at all what people say about you." Isabel said.
"Most people fail to see the real me." Tommy said as Rochev left and he then turned to Walter.
"Thank you, Walter." Tommy said.
"You should thank Oliver. He's the one who brought your company's problems to my attention." Walter said and Tommy looked at Oliver.
"Sara came to you didn't she?" Tommy asked.
"She did and I'm glad she did." Oliver said.
"Well thanks man." Tommy said.
"Thank Sara to for telling me." Oliver as they hugged.
"Anything on those stolen army weapons?" John asked Lyla as they met up after some brief flirting.
"A crate of 12 M4A1s went missing from Camp Kirby two months ago." Lyla said.
"Yeah, I think I know where they went." John said.
"Every crate was fitted with a GPS system so they could be remote tracked. I tried pulling it up but it's not receiving. Must have been deactivated." Lyla said.
"Thanks, Lyla." John said.
"Tell your team to watch their backs out there and also to leave this to the ones with specialized training and fancy powers." Lyla said.
"Will do." John said right before they pecked each other's cheeks and walked away.
