Oliver returned to the hideout as everyone looked worried.
"Seriously, one would've thought that the Chinese government has learned its lesson after what happened the last time." Henry grumbled.
"The Alpha/Omega is a powerful weapon." Tatsu pointed out.
"And for all we know, the Triad has already gotten its hands on it." Laurel agreed.
"No. They wouldn't need Dr. Wong, if they had it already." Barbara said.
"Barbara's right, it's just a matter of time before they force Wong to recreate it." Oliver nodded. "Luckily, we have this."
Oliver pulled out from the bag a glass tube as Tatsu and Henry stared, widening their eyes in disbelief.
"You stole the virus?" Tatsu demanded incredulously.
"We should burn it. Make sure White can't get her hands on it." Henry said.
"No. Without the virus, the Triad might slaughter the entire city. Besides, like I said, they'll use Wong to recreate it, if they have to." Oliver pointed out.
"You want to give Chien Na Wei the virus?" Tatsu demanded incredulously.
"I'm not actually going to give it to her, I'm gonna use it as a bait to draw her out." Oliver said.
"Ollie, wait, no, that's crazy." Henry protested, shaking his head.
"My husband tried this gambit once already and you're the one who told him he made a mistake." Tatsu reminded.
"This is different. Maseo had every intention of actually giving the virus to China White. I don't." Oliver said.
"No, we can't do this. It's too risky." Laurel said.
"It's riskier to do nothing. If anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears." Oliver pointed out and everyone sighed after a moment, realizing it was the only plan they had.
"What if you fail?" Tatsu said.
"I'm not gonna fail." Oliver assured. "Either way, there's a risk innocent people are going to die. This way, we can at least have some advantage."
"We trade the virus for Wong, then we'll track White down, catch her, flip her, make her talk." Henry said.
"It's better than doing nothing." Barbara agreed.
"No. If we find Chien Na Wei, we're going to put her down. Permanently." Tatsu said.
"How are we going to find her?" Sara said.
"If the Triad is something, they're consistent. We might have a pretty good idea where she'll be." Henry said.
Later, China White and her men waited at the docks as Oliver appeared with the briefcase with virus.
"You're late. I almost thought you changed your mind, Oliver." White said.
"I have the virus. Where's Dr. Wong?" Oliver demanded.
"Nearby. Don't worry." White said before smirking at Oliver. "I'm surprised you're doing this. And here I thought only your friend Maseo was a fool."
"I'm surprised you're still alive." Oliver noted.
"I think we both know there are ways dead can come back." White pointed out. "Just like old times, isn't it? You, me, Tatsu, Mr. Fyff… if only your old friend Maseo was here too as well."
"You're lucky he's not around anymore." Oliver sneered.
"No sign of Wong." Sara said over the comms.
"I don't think he's here." Tatsu said.
A few yards away on a rooftop, Henry readied his sniper rifle, with White at his gunsight and his finger at the trigger. "I have a clear shot at her. Just say the word and I'll take her out."
"No. She's mine." Tatsu said.
"We've got incoming." Henry said as a car drove in with as Dr. Wong went out with bruised face and wearing a vest rigged with C4.
"Should we move?" Sara asked.
"It's Dr. Wong. He has an explosive vest on." Tatsu said.
"China White must have the detonator. Oliver, we can't let her kill him." Henry said as White's henchman put the vial into an analyzer that bleeped green as the henchman nodded at White.
"That vest is not part of the agreement." Oliver growled, pointing at Wong.
"I had to be sure you weren't gonna do anything stupid." White sneered as she pulled out the trigger and shoved Wong towards Oliver. "I'll deactivate it once I'm safe in the car. Until next time, Oliver."
"No. There's not going to be 'next time.'" Oliver said, much to her confusion. "Now!"
On cue, Batgirl, Katana, Black Canary and White Canary jumped down from above. Katana cut down two of Triad's thugs, Batgirl slammed one of them to a container, knocking him out, White Canary used her staff to beat up another henchman, while Black Canary kicked two of them down as Henry shot at them from the distance before noticing that China White was running away.
"White's got the trigger! We can't let her get away!" Henry ordered.
"She's mine!" Tatsu said, chasing White.
"We'll take care of Wong!" Sara said as she and Laurel were accompanying Wong to safety and Henry climbed down from his vantage point.
Batgirl grabbed the case with the virus and punched the thug nearing her in the face before she threw two batarangs, taking down more thugs going after her.
White jumped from one ship to another as she ran down the docks, while Tatsu was chasing her before they faced each other.
"Chien Na Wei." Tatsu said.
"Tatsu Yamashiro." White smirked. "You really think this will go better than the last time?"
Tatsu glared as White pulled out her karambit knives and Tatsu pulled out a pair of katanas.
White dodged Tatsu's blades before blocking them with her knives.
Both women appeared to be evenly matched as White smirked. "You've come a long way."
"I'm going to make you pay for what you've done to my family." Tatsu sneered.
Batgirl glided down the rooftop before a thug tackled her, causing for her to lose grip of the briefcase as it slid down the ground. Batgirl knocked him out as another thug attempted to pick it up but Batgirl threw a batarang, knocking him down.
"Can you disarm it?" Laurel asked as Henry was checking Wong's suicide vest before he groaned.
"Damn it. If I try something, it's gonna go off. Tatsu, we need that detonator!" Henry said.
White dodged and retreated as Tatsu attacked with her swords and White used her knives to attack, while Tatsu blocked. They exchanged blows with their weapons before Tatsu kicked White in the stomach and dodged as White attacked with both weapons before Tatsu grabbed her by her wrist and knocked the knife away and pinned her to the wall, with the blade to White's neck. Both women struggled before White shook Tatsu off but Tatsu kicked White in the chest as White grunted and fell down, while Tatsu pointed the tip of the sword at her.
"The detonator." Tatsu ordered.
White glared before handing Tatsu the trigger as she smirked. "You better kill me now… but we both know you're not going to do it. You don't have it in you."
Tatsu hesitated for a moment and White used the opening to stab her in the abdomen and Tatsu groaned, staggering as she dropped her sword, while gasping in pain, holding her wound.
White got up on her feet, about to deliver the killing blow before Oliver shot her in the shoulder with an arrow and White staggered back. Oliver fired another arrow and White fell back and fell over the railing into the water and Oliver looked down before turning to Tatsu.
"Tatsu. Are you OK?" Oliver asked as Tatsu was bleeding out.
"I'll be fine." Tatsu nodded.
Later
Henry finished tending to Tatsu as Oliver entered.
"White?" Oliver asked.
"Gone. The divers didn't find her body." Henry said as Oliver sighed, groaning.
"At least she didn't get her hands on the virus." Laurel said, sighing in relief before Wong laughed.
"She didn't want the Alpha/Omega. At least not the virus itself. It was just a component." Wong said.
"A component to what?" Henry asked.
"All I know is that Chinese government made a contract with a benefactor that I do not know by name. They wanted my expertise on Alpha/Omega and use it to create a virus. A different one. Using dark matter too. I did not know the detail but they called it 'Project: Amazo.'" Wong said.
"Couldn't they have come up with a different name?" Sara said, as she and Oliver groaned.
"What was the project about?" Barbara asked.
"Theoretically, creating a virus that could replicate metahuman abilities. Like I said, theoretically." Wong said.
"Weaponize metahuman abilities?" Oliver repeated. "That sounds—"
"Catastrophic." Sara nodded.
"Who would want to do something like this?" Laurel wondered.
Elsewhere
"Well?" White asked, while talking on the phone.
"We were able to replicate the virus. Soon enough, we'll prepare to the next stage." The voice on the other side said.
Lex hung up as he saw on the feed scientists working in a lab.
Later, A.R.G.U.S.
Oliver, Laurel, Sara, Tatsu and Henry went out from the plane as they met Roy in the corridor.
"You OK?" Roy asked as they nodded before they saw the bruises and scratches on Roy's face.
"What about you?" Oliver said.
"Been worse. If it hadn't been for Rachel, I'd be dead. But, look, guys, you're never going to believe what—"
Suddenly, they heard a female scream.
"Rachel!" Roy yelled as they burst into the hospital room, seeing Conner holding Rachel by her neck, choking her, his eyes nothing but cold, emotionless stare as Barry, Kara and Clark were holding Conner by his arms, trying to make him let her go.
