The forensics and Rick Flag examined the safehouse before they heard a commotion outside as Henry entered, worried like never before.

"Where are they? Where are my sister and nephew?" Henry demanded.

"I don't know. We came in as soon as we got an alert and noticed that the agents missed last two check-ins. All agents were found dead. Nicole and Riley are missing." Rick explained.

"Tell me you have something." Henry begged.

"We do not know for certain who did this but this is the tactics of former Ninth Circle operatives." Rick explained and Henry groaned.

"Son of a bitch." Henry muttered.

"Don't worry, Deputy Director." Rick said, holding Henry as he was about to storm off before he whirled on Rick.

"They're my family! They're all I've got!" Henry exploded.

"Hey, calm down." Rick said, holding Henry by his shoulders. "I understand that you're mad, if it was my family, I'd be as angry as you are but this isn't going to help. Trust me, I want them safe as much as you do but you need to get your head straight."

Henry took deep breaths as he felt himself deflate. "You're right. I'm sorry."

Rick nodded. "It's fine. I understand. We'll find them, Henry. I promise."

"They're gone?" Ethan said upon entering, terrified at first, then as much angered as Henry.

In another part of Gotham, Batman and Green Arrow entered the hideout in the clock tower, where Felicity was hiding, examining the footage, seeing equipment smashed and bullet holes around.

"Damn it." Batman sighed.

"Felicity…" Green Arrow whispered, worried about her being in danger again.

"We'll find her." Batman assured him as he approached the computer. "Alfred, do you copy?"

"Yes, Master Bruce?" Alfred asked.

"You need to get to safety. Hide in the Batcave and activate the security measures. No matter what, don't let your guard down." Batman ordered.

"Understood. May I ask what's happened?" Alfred inquired.

"No time. But Dante and his associates are trying to squeeze us hard." Batman said.

"I see. What will you do, sir?"

"Shut them down." Green Arrow said as he hung up and they saw footage of Dante's mercenaries entering the hideout, aiming guns at terrified Felicity before taking her before they destroyed the cameras.

"They took her into one of their cars." Batman said as he watched the feed outside the hideout.

"But there's dozens of them. Besides, they might be hidden already." Green Arrow said.

A.R.G.U.S., Gotham City

"I knew something like this was gonna happen. I just knew it." Henry muttered as he entered his office in A.R.G.U.S. base in Gotham and kicked a cabinet angrily before he approached the computer, typing some commands.

"What are you doing, Hank?" Ethan asked.

"I've always known someone would try to kidnap them again, sooner or later." Henry explained. "That's why I gave Nicky and Riley trackers. The kind of that they wouldn't think to find."

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked.

Elsewhere

"Let us go. Please." Nicole begged, holding terrified Riley close towards her as Virgil smirked before walking off, while the mercenaries were readying weapons.

"Behave and you might live. We don't want to hurt you but we will, if we have to." Virgil said and Nicole glanced at her bracelet, which was an old Christmas gift from her brother, which beeped very small, almost imperceptible red light as she internally felt relieved but acted as a terrified mother, worried about her child.

Gotham City

"Batman. I have the signal." Henry called out.

"Are you sure?" Batman asked.

"Positive. But it's too easy. It might be a trap." Henry pointed out.

"Agreed." Batman said.

A few minutes later, Black Canary and White Canary entered the hideout with Batgirl and Catwoman as Black Canary activated her Canary Cry collar, blasting away the mercenaries as Virgil ran away.

White Canary jumped over a table and kicked down two mercenaries as Catwoman used her whip and knocked down another mercenary by wrapping her whip around his leg before she kicked another one in the face and Batgirl threw batarangs, taking out the mercenaries.

Black Canary grabbed a chair and slammed it at another mercenary before she rolled down, avoiding the gunfire and kicking the mercenary in the chest as he stumbled back. Black Canary punched him three times before knocking him down on the floor.

"Nicky! Nicky!" Black Canary called out.

"Help!" Nicole screamed.

"Hey!" Batgirl burst into the room as she threw a batarang, knocking down the guards before approaching Nicole and Riley. "Are you OK? Are you hurt?"

Nicole shook her head, while Riley did the same, both of them visibly frightened and in shock though. "Barbara, what is going on here?" She demanded.

"It's complicated but we need to get you to safety." Laurel said before she considered. "This was too easy though."

"A trap?" Sara asked.

"Or a distraction." Selina nodded.

"From what, though?" Barbara wondered.

A.R.G.U.S., Gotham City

"They're safe." Laurel said, much to Henry's relief as she called out on his phone, while he was going out with his father, about to search for more clues. "But this was too easy. I think they were just a distraction."

Henry's relief was short-lived as he stopped, wondering what did she mean by that. "Distraction from what?"

Suddenly, he was hit with a dart in the neck, alongside Ethan and their vision blurred and Henry dropped his phone as they both passed out.

"Major Ethan Pearce and Deputy Director Henry Fyff. We've been looking for you." Dante said, smirking.

Gotham City

Henry came to, groaning as he noticed that he restrained to a chair as he noticed Ethan sitting across him, also restrained to a chair.

"Henry, are you OK?" Ethan asked.

"Been worse. Where are we?" Henry looked around.

"I'm not sure." Ethan said.

"This was too easy." Henry sighed, cursing himself for not realizing that they had fallen into a trap. "They wanted us the whole time, not Nicky, Riley or Felicity, they were just a bait. We gotta get out of here."

He was about to break his own thumbs and free himself from the zip-cuffs before they heard whistling as Dante entered with a shock baton, eying Henry.

"Henry Samuel Fyff. I've heard many things about you." Dante said before he shocked Henry in the chest as he groaned in pain before Dante pulled away.

"Go to hell." Henry glared at Dante.

"Major Ethan Pearce." Dante turned to Ethan. "Like father, like son. Loyal men, dedicated to their countries. I want the codes to Project: Amazo."

"I'm not telling you anything." Ethan growled.

"Even if it means your son's safety?" Dante challenged.

"Dad, whatever they do to me, don't tell him any—" Henry screamed as Dante shocked him in the chest.

"Henry! Leave him alone, you son of a bitch!" Ethan snarled.

Dante pulled away the baton as he smirked. "Let's try it again, Major. Access codes to Project: Amazo."

"Dad, don't tell him anything." Henry breathed out.

"Like father, like son, huh?" Dante smirked as he shocked him in the chest again and Henry screamed in pain before Dante pulled away and Henry slumped his head weakly, his eyes barely opened. "Higher voltage and his heart is going to stop beating."

"Dad, don't…" Henry whispered, barely conscious as he looked at Ethan.

"5-6-9-3-0-1-6." Ethan said, giving in.

"Was that so hard?" Dante smirked as he cut them loose and left. "You're free to go. But try something stupid and you're both dead. As a gesture of good will and showing I'm not so cold-blooded, I'll tell you where Miss Smoak is as well."

Henry fell down from the chair, weak from the shocks given to him. "Dad…"

"I couldn't let him hurt you." Ethan whispered.

Batman and Green Arrow followed the Ninth Circle mercenaries into a hideout as Batman kicked through the window and they engaged the mercenaries. Batman rolled towards some crates and took cover, while Green Arrow fired explosive arrows, sending them flying in the air. Some of the mercenaries pulled out knives but Green Arrow blocked with his bow, while Batman blocked with his gauntlets before they counter-attacked, beating up the mercenaries as Green Arrow slammed one of them to the floor.

"Where's Felicity Smoak?!" Green Arrow demanded.

"In there…" The mercenary pointed to the room and both vigilantes entered and saw Felicity behind a bulletproof glass window, unconscious and lying on the chair and on the table was a pistol.

"Congratulations. You've earned your prize." Dante said over the P.A. "But you've been liabilities in our plans for too long. And consequences must be paid."

From above sprayed into the room, where Felicity was, some gas as Batman immediately realized what it was. "Crane's fear toxin." He said.

"What… what's going on?" Felicity asked as she woke up and looked at Batman and Green Arrow in fear and stepped back, frightened. "No… no, stay away from me. Stay away!"

"Felicity!" Green Arrow yelled.

"You see them… the monsters behind the glass that are going to end you… unless you pick up that gun and deny them…"

"Felicity, it's not real, don't listen to it!" Batman ordered.

"Please, please, no!" Felicity exclaimed as she picked the gun, shooting the bulletproof glass and making some cracks before putting it to her temple.

"Felicity, it's me! It's Oliver! Your friend!" Green Arrow yelled, horrified at what he was seeing as he kept banging the glass.

"You won't get me. I won't let you get me…" Felicity whispered.

"Felicity, no! Put the gun down!" Batman ordered, none of them believing what were they seeing as Oliver got flashbacks from seeing Robert's suicide.

'Survive...'

Felicity pulled the trigger and slumped back.

"No!" Green Arrow exclaimed, horror, shock and guilt flooding through him.

I've softened around Felicity in Seasons 6-7 but this was fitting to the plot.
