"Now, we have three metahumans with the ability of interdimensional awareness." Lex smirked as he had Gypsy, Breacher and Cisco restrained to chairs, all of them having some kind of an apparatus on their heads as Lex was looking at the monitors, where were the brain scans. "Finally, we can see what Allen and his friends are doing." The monitors turned on as Lex saw Oliver, Barry, Team Flash and the Legends in some underground complex. "Where is it? Give me a location, now."

"Sir, with all due respect, there's still so much we don't understand about their powers. Interdimensional awareness and travel and energy manipulation… these are uncharted waters." One of the scientists explained.

"Then, get to work, now." Lex growled as they turned on some switches and Cisco, Gypsy and Breacher screamed in pain as electricity jolted through their heads and the monitors were getting blurry images of the heroes before he turned to someone else. "How are we going on with the robot?"

"It's… we still have to run some tests, sir. It's going to take a while before—"

"It's alright, it's alright." Lex assured. "Take your time. This phase can proceed later."

Team Flash's secondary lair

"What are we going to do now?" Ralph asked. "Now they see the Green Arrow as an outlaw. The Flash too."

"Hey, has anyone seen Felicity?" Barry turned his head around and Oliver looked too before he groaned.

"Oh, come on, not again!"

Elsewhere

Ray tapped on the controls of the jumpship. "Felicity, I get what you're trying to do but this may be a huge butterfly we're stepping on—"

"I don't want to change the timeline. Gideon can tap into any digital file in any timeline." Felicity typed in some commands on the console as they saw some video files from Lex's operation few months back. "Look, no warrants, no trials, manhunt on metahumans that were innocent too. And that was months before the attack on the City Hall. If Gideon can copy these files, we can use it as leverage against Lex. If this goes to the news, they will turn on him. Hunting down metahumans before they actually committed the crime… the Supreme Court is going to have Christmas with Luthor trying to defend himself."

"Felicity?" William asked and Felicity almost jumped at seeing him in the jumpship.

"William? What are you doing here?" Felicity demanded, freaked out to see him inside. "No. Ray, turn it around, now—"

"Wait, if you want to help Caitlin, I want to help too." William said and Felicity knelt down and held his shoulders.

"William, I won't put you in danger. Oliver is never going to forgive me if something happens to—"

"Felicity, I can't just stand by and do nothing." William pleaded and the insisting look in his eyes made Felicity give in.

Team Flash's secondary lair

"Breaking news tonight. Rumors have surfaced that the U.S. government has recently broadened the reach of the Patriot Act." The news anchor said.

"Thanks, Ryan. Well, tonight, anonymous sources have provided the news bureaus some startling footage taken directly from an unnamed government agency right here in Washington. Now, this video shows American citizens in hoods and restraints in what seems to be a clear violation of their constitutional rights, which date before the bombing in Central City. Is the government running a clandestine military organization with the authority to disregard…"

"The official statement says that the government denies any such action taken against metahumans before last night…"

"There are allegations that Lex Luthor himself actually manipulated a metahuman into an attack on Central City's administration to frame the rest, all so that he could orchestrate a manhunt…"

"Felicity, what have you done?" Oliver whispered, cursing Felicity's impulsiveness.

"She just poked the hornet's nest. Luthor will not hesitate to go after anyone of us." Diggle said.

Elsewhere

Lex seethed as he was watching the news. Somehow they accessed his files regarding his operation before he approached the White House. He clenched his fists in rage before the phone in his office rang as he picked it up.

"Hello?"

"You have my friends. I want them freed." The disguised female voice on the other side said.

"Felicity Smoak." Lex smirked and there was a pause on the other side, obviously the caller being surprised and caught off-guard. "I did my homework on you and this… Team Arrow too. Bold move. Either you're very brave or very stupid to attempt to expose me. You have no idea who are you—"

"No, you have no idea who are you messing with, you bald smug bastard. You're no better than the Nazis, who almost wiped out my people." Felicity snapped, not even bothering to disguise her voice anymore.

"I don't know how you got access to my files, since I didn't give Miss Graves these but it doesn't matter." Lex smirked. "You just waved a red flag in front of the bull. So, I will make sure that you have nowhere left to hide and no one left to hide behind. No one stands up to me like this and expects to walk away—"

"Save me this bravado, you bastard. You blame others for actions of one. I'm sorry about Lena, I really am but this doesn't give you the right to wipe out an entire race." Felicity said.

"Not wiping out. Curing." Lex corrected. "Not everyone can control their powers. Powers lead to chaos. Chaos leads to death and destruction. And besides, you can't assume that they are innocent. If I recall, your friend, Miss Drake, killed dozens of criminals, without giving them a chance to stand down, all in name of her dead lover."

"Don't try to use sins of others to justify your own, I know the likes of you." Felicity snapped. "If you think you can walk away with what you did, you're wrong. I know it was you behind the bombing."

Lex scoffed. "That is a very serious allegation—"

"Weeper. DeVoe. Julian Albert. Ring any bells?" Felicity taunted and Lex paused. "I have evidence of Mercy interrogating Mr. Albert illegally and torturing him. Plus, I can easily link you to the bombing. There's no secret you can keep away from me. The tonight's news was just a prelude, if you won't give me what I want."

Lex paused for a minute and considered. Maybe she was bluffing. Maybe not. But he knew that Felicity Smoak shouldn't be underestimated and it was too big of a risk to call her bluff. "What do you want?"

"I want my friends back. Gypsy, Breacher, Dinah Drake, Laurel Lance, Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow in exchange for the evidence. They walk free. And you will announce that the attack two nights ago was a setup."

"You think I will confess to—"

"I don't give a rat's ass about how you do it but you will show that the metahumans were not responsible for this attack. I know you have the means." Felicity said. "Union Station, D.C., 11 A.M. Tomorrow. And I want to see Gypsy, Breacher, Dinah, Laurel, Cisco and Caitlin safe and unharmed. Or good luck trying to justify yourself to the Supreme Court for inhumane treatment of metahumans."

The call ended and Lex clenched his fists before dialing another number. He wouldn't let some IT girl get in a way of his plans. "Kane. I have a task for you and the Jackals."

"You think he'll listen?" William asked.

"Maybe not. But we have a chance to get our friends back." Felicity said. "But if this is supposed to work, we need to cover all grounds."

"Dad's gonna be pissed that you went behind his back." William pointed out.

"Maybe… but one day, he'll understand." Felicity said before the phone rang and she saw's Oliver's name with a picture flashing before she realized that she was in for one hell of a lecture as she reluctantly pressed 'ANSWER'. "Oliver, before you start yelling at me, I might have a way to get Cisco and Caitlin back."

It has been shown repeatedly that Felicity, if pushed enough, will take matters into her own hands, which always ends badly and I think it's been established that she is close friends with Caitlin and Cisco. And Ray is one of the people, who would listen to Felicity without question. I'm not doing this to make Felicity unlikeable but I think that this is exactly the kind of thing she would do, since this gives her bad memories, since she is Jewish and Nazis almost wiped out her kind in WWII. All I will say is that the person that will punish Felicity the most, is Felicity herself.

So, what do you guys think?
