From the window went out Samuel Scudder, also known as the Mirror Master, alongside Snart and Lawton, which shocked them, considering that they thought he had been dead for years, Reverse-Flash, Shadow Thief and Owen Mercer.
"Well, pretty cozy." Snart said.
"You died!" Batman yelled, not believing his own eyes.
"No. They left me to die. As I've learned, only look out for yourself." Snart smirked.
"You were fools for coming here." Diana said.
"Think again." Thawne quipped. Diana pulled out her sword and rushed at him but suddenly, Thawne pulled out an orb and Diana disappeared in a flash of light. "Banishing spell. Back to Earth with her."
Green Lantern used his ring and trapped Thawne in an energy sphere before suddenly, he coughed and vomited as the sphere disappeared, freeing Thawne, who laughed. "What's the matter? Not feeling well, Mr. Jordan?"
"What did you do to me?" Green Lantern demanded, falling on his knees.
"Courtesy of Ivy. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis." Thawne said.
Batman threw batarangs but the villains dodged as Thawne sped towards the computer and plugged in some device.
"Breach! Breach!"
"Get away from it!" Batman ordered.
Thawne was about to rush at Batman before he was hit in the leg with an arrow as Tommy lowered his bow. "Ollie told me how he beat you the last time."
Thawne realized that he had been injected with nanites that disabled his speed before he smirked at Tommy. "Clever. But, news flash, Mr. Merlyn: I don't need superspeed to kick your ass."
Tommy engaged Thawne, both men exchanging blows. While Thawne was a skilled fighter even without his speed, Tommy's superior fighting skills gave him an edge as Tommy blocked Thawne's punches before hitting him in the jaw and kicking him in the chest as Thawne fell down. Thawne and got up on his feet but Tommy dodged his kick and stabbed him in the leg with an arrow and Thawne screamed, while falling on his knees.
"I just cut your femoral artery. Without your speed, I'd say you have few minutes before you bleed out." Tommy said. Thawne glared before Tommy punched him and knocked him out but Thawne suddenly disappeared as red lightning knocked Tommy down, making him realize what had happened. "Time remnant."
Batman threw batarangs that hit Ivy and Shadow Thief, electrocuting them and knocking them out. Thawne sped towards the computer and pulled out the device before he sped to the teleporter.
"Not so fast!" Aquaman waved his trident as a small tide appeared but Snart froze it with his Cold Gun.
"Too little, too late!" Thawne said, grabbing all the villains in superspeed before they rushed towards the teleporter and they disappeared.
"What did they steal?" Diana asked as Bruce ran the diagnostics on the computer.
"Do you remember, when I told you about possible failsafes?" Bruce said as they widened their eyes.
"You said that you shut it down." Arthur snapped.
"I've told you, we're too dangerous to lack a failsafe against possible misuse of our abilities or mind control or going rogue." Bruce argued.
"This is a huge violation of trust." Diana glared. "We'd never—"
"But what if you did? Or have you forgotten what happened, when Kara was on red kryptonite?" Bruce reminded, interrupting Diana as they were silent.
"Look, we can yell at each other later." Hal intervened, once he recovered.
"I don't have that much of a problem that Batman had contingencies against us, if either of us went rogue. What bothers me is that someone got their hands on it." Tommy said.
"I expected they'd try that, so I've installed a one-bit tracker file into the data." Bruce said.
"The moment they look at your plans, we'll find them." Hal realized, catching up onto Bruce's thoughts as he turned on the comms.
"Everyone, on alert! Code Black! I repeat, Code Black!" Bruce called out.
Elsewhere
Killer Frost pulled out ice daggers, engaging Icicle, who formed ice blades from his hands and blocked.
"Join me, Frost. Join your family." Icicle said.
"I already have on. And you're not in it." Frost sneered.
Icicle cut Frost in the abdomen as she groaned and dodged, when he attempted to stab her and their ice daggers kept crossing until Frost stabbed Icicle in the chest. Icicle grunted, staggering back before he gave her a pleading look. "Why deny who you are?
"You're a monster wearing my father's face. I'll never be like you." Frost sneered before she raised her hands and fired freeze blasts, knocking him back.
"Watch out!" Ray cried out, forcing Frost to dodge as his suit had been hacked, while he flew towards Icicle, picking him, Barry, Conner and Kara before flying away.
"What now?" Cisco panicked.
"What happened? Atom took the Flash, Superboy and Supergirl." Clark said.
"Nothing good." Cisco said, worried.
As they came to, Conner and Kara were in cells, with red sun radiation shining onto them from the ceiling, negating their powers as they were looking for a way out but their hands were restrained with kryptonite cuffs.
"Where are we?" Kara wondered.
"I don't know. But we need to find a way out." Conner said, wondering what to do without their powers.
"Can you hear me, Mr. Palmer?"
Ray was unable to move, while in his Atom suit as he realized that it had been hacked, while he was floating in some energy sphere.
"Mr. Palmer."
Ray turned to one of the scientists. "What do you want? Where am I?" He asked.
"To be clear, I am honored to be in your presence." The scientist said enthusiastically before giving Ray an apologetic look. "And your Atom technology is fascinating. We'd like to analyze it and remove it. We're offering you a chance to surrender peacefully or we'll pry you out of the suit, if we'll have to."
Ray groaned, realizing it was the same like when a Japanese warlord stole his suit.
"OK. So much for being a man of steel." Ray quipped, when suddenly, the suit overloaded, blasting away the scientists, knocking them out and freeing himself as the sphere dissipated.
"Systems rebooted."
"Run diagnostics. Make sure no one can hack it." Ray ordered. "Let's bust out of here." He turned to the scientist and grabbed him by his lab coat, lifting him in the air. "Who are you working for? Tell me!"
"LexCorp!" The scientist said, frightened.
"Let me out of here. Now!" The Flash yelled, floating in the air in some energy ball, that prevented him from phasing out. "Where's Supergirl? I swear, if you—"
"She'll be fine, Flash." The scientist said before Barry felt a jolt of electricity panging him as he realized what they were doing.
"Speed Force… no!" Barry said as he noticed he was getting weaker and weaker as they were draining him of his speed, just like what Zoom did to him.
"It's fitting, isn't it, Barry?" Thawne said upon entering as Barry glared. "I gave you your speed, now I'll take it back."
"I swear to God, when I get out, I'm going to end you. This time for good." Barry sneered.
"No. This time, I'll make sure you'll die, knowing that you're going to lose everyone and everything you love. But still, you have my respect, Barry." Thawne smiled. "I hope everyone is going to remember you." He turned on the screen and saw Conner and Kara in their cells, with Kara groaning and on the floor, trembling, getting weaker from the red sun radiation as Barry stared in despair, seeing his wife in pain as Thawne laughed. "How many times I've wanted to see you suffer…"
Later, Watchtower
"What happened?" Laurel asked as she entered with Oliver.
"Thawne and his cronies showed up. They stole our files and plans about how to subdue any member of the Justice League." Bruce explained. "I've been trying to track them but they're smart."
"And some of our friends are missing." Hal said.
"Barry. Kara. Conner. Ray." Bruce listed. "We're trying to reach out to the rest."
"This was a coordinated attack. They knew how, when and what weaknesses to exploit." Clark said and Oliver nodded.
"Whoever's behind this, must be very clever. I'm pretty sure it was Lex." Oliver said.
Batcave, Wayne Manor, Gotham City
"You were right." Barbara said, sitting at the computer in Batcave. "I went over the LexCorp files you downloaded from Lex's office. There was a hidden virus."
"He must have known we'd try to hack in with Felicity's sniffer." Henry realized.
Felicity groaned. "I should've taken a closer—"
"This isn't your fault, Felicity, Lex is really smart. I've already put countermeasures in motion to make sure there's no spyware or virus that can hack our tech or eavesdrop on us." Barbara said.
"Thanks. We need to find something concrete that ties Lex to it." Henry said.
"I guess the geek squad should get to work, Deputy Director." Barbara quipped.
LexCorp
Lex moved the chess pieces as he smirked, while a woman with brown hair and wearing a black leather suit entered. "Well?" She asked.
"It was just the first step." Lex said.
"I said I wanted them to suffer—"
"Patience, Miranda. Or should I say, 'Talia?'" Lex smirked. "You will have your revenge. But it's best served slowly. I'm going to dismantle them all… piece… by… piece." With each word he toppled the pawns on the chessboard.
"We'll need the components." Talia said.
A.R.G.U.S.
"We got something. Sightings of Jade Nguyen in AmerTek in San Francisco. Stealing tech." Henry said, looking at the screen before turning to everyone present in the conference room.
"We're on it." Roy said as he walked off with Dick and Helena, about to gear up.
"This was a bust. A trap." Oliver said as he entered with Laurel, while approaching the doctors.
"Physically, your daughter is fine, Mr. Queen, so I have no idea where she got her power. She is not a metahuman." The doctor said.
"Then how?" Oliver asked as Quentin entered.
"Laurel told me what's happening to your daughter. Can I talk to you two for a minute?" Quentin said.
"What is it, Daddy?" Laurel asked as she was with Quentin, Oliver, Henry and Sara in one of the conference rooms, while Quentin pulled out a book, hesitant.
"You might want to sit down for this." Quentin said as they saw a village in the Middle Ages. "Laurel. Sara. Back when your mother and I were still in college, her father, your grandfather, told me about a legend that has been circling around her family. In the medieval times, one of your ancestors, a man with a wife and a little daughter, stole from someone, who turned out to be a sorcerer. This sorcerer then placed a curse upon his wife and daughter, as a punishment."
"I think I know where this is going." Oliver said as Quentin nodded.
"Any time the wife or the daughter would scream, glass would shatter, stone walls would fall apart, people would be blasted away. And the curse would be passed down onto every daughter, lifetime after lifetime." Quentin said. "I thought it was just some nonsense mumbo jumbo but… after what we've seen and been through…" He trailed off as everyone nodded, while Laurel and Oliver looked concerned.
"So, what, our daughter is cursed?" Laurel demanded.
"Curse is a matter of perspective. It can become a gift. You just need to help her find a way to live with it." Oliver pointed out. "Like how I showed it to Barry."
Laurel looked thoughtful before nodding.
"Look, whatever happens, we got your back." Sara said as she and Henry assured them.
Rachel was in her room, sitting on bed before her eyes turned pitch black as she gasped.
Roy was crawling on the floor, bleeding out as Jade approached him.
"It was fun, while it lasted. But it's time to say goodbye, Roy." Jade said before stabbing Roy in the chest.
Rachel breathed out, coming back to the present.
"Roy, don't go!" Rachel begged as she rushed towards Roy, who was entering the chopper.
"Rachel—"
"Don't go. Please." Rachel said, hugging him. "You leave, you die. I watched you die."
The part with the BC powers is inspired by Stand and Ward and Queen's now deleted story 'A different fight', which explained Laurel's Canary Cry power, so thank you to him for inspiration and hope you do not mind I used it here with Oliver's and Laurel's daughter.
