Gotham City

"So, Gotham." Oliver quipped as he, Laurel, Barry, Patty, Caitlin, Cisco and Ralph went out from the car. "How are we gonna find Amazo here?"

They saw some firemen driving down the street as Barry narrowed his eyes. "Does that answer your question?"

They followed the fireman truck as they saw the broken wall of Wayne Enterprises warehouse, where the medics were treating some injured people and policemen were interviewing Bruce Wayne and other employees.

"If anything comes to your mind, let me know." Commissioner Gordon told Bruce as he nodded.

"Thank you, Jim." Bruce said as Oliver approached him.

"Bruce." Oliver smiled.

"Oliver." Bruce said, surprised to see him and more importantly, Caitlin, since as far as the world knew, she was among the victims of Lex's metahuman purge. "I… wasn't expecting you. It's been…"

"Ten years, after they kicked me out of Princeton." Oliver added, smiling as Bruce chuckled.

"What brings you here?" Bruce said before turning to Caitlin, seeming to recognize her. "Didn't I see you in the news? Aren't you—"

"Yeah…" Caitlin said lowly. "But I'm kind of keeping a low profile."

Bruce narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be…"

"…dead?" Caitlin finished. "I think it is a relative term."

Bruce stared at her for a moment before nodding. "I see."

Barry and Patty showed their CCPD badges. "Sorry, I'm Barry Allen, Central City CSI and this is Detective Patty Spivot."

"Witnesses saw a robot, similar to the one, that Lex Luthor built in Central City four months ago to eliminate metahumans, coming into Gotham, so we came here to investigate the lead. Mr. Queen said that the robot might have stolen some technology from Star City too. Would you mind if we ask you a few questions, Mr. Wayne?" Patty said.

Bruce sighed. "I've already told Commissioner Gordon everything I know. The robot came here, took out the guards, none of them are dead, luckily and he stole a cutting-edge processor. It helps analyze data far quickly than any ordinary computer. I don't know why but my guess is that the robot is looking for an upgrade."

"Do you have any idea, who would have wanted to attack your company and steal your property?" Barry inquired.

Bruce took a breath, considering. "Competitors, thieves focused on hi-tech, hired guns… this isn't the first time this has happened but they could have ransacked the whole place but they were focused on few very specific items, components, that, as far as I know, don't fit together at all."

"Would you mind giving us a list of items that were stolen?" Patty asked.


Later

The team entered a rented apartment as Patty looked through the manifesto on the laptop.

"Hi-tech processor… plates of Nth metal… some kind of nanobot technology with an adaptive compound…" Patty read.

"Lex's robot could copy any metahuman ability." Barry realized.

"We made sure Amazo was turned into scraps but someone must have gotten his hands on technology to build another robot." Oliver said.

"And looks like they're trying to upgrade it, big time." Cisco nodded.

"What I wonder is, who and how did they get their hands on that robot?" Caitlin said.


Gotham Botanical Gardens

A red-haired woman with pale green skin and leaf-like strapless dress was touching the vines, relaxing before she heard a 'crash' as from above descended a silver robot as she smirked.

"What is this? A machine trying to defeat Mother Nature?" Poison Ivy smirked, trying to wrap her vines around the robot, who phased right through them before it used heat vision beams, burning her vines as she groaned in pain and glared. "My babies! You will pay for that!"

She pulled out some spores from her plants, trying to drive them through the robot's circuitry but suddenly, Amazo turned flames on, like Firestorm, starting to burn her plants. "No!" Ivy screamed.


Gotham City

Cisco was typing something on his laptop before getting an alert. "Guys, I think I have a way to track down Amazo. I looked through Lex's files and it sends a low-frequency pulse to assess metahuman abilities before it copies them."

"Can you track down where it is now?" Barry asked.

"Let's see if this works." Cisco typed in some commands. "I'll try to bounce the signal off WayneTech antenna." Few moments later, he tracked the signal. "Gotcha."


Later

Green Arrow, the Flash, Killer Frost, Elongated Man and Vibe went out from the breach as they saw Amazo piling up some boxes.

"Looks like the technology it stole." Barry said. "We need to be careful. Last time it almost killed me."

"Wait a minute…" Caitlin trailed off as she noticed a compass on a nearby desk. "Isn't that—"

"Again?" Cisco demanded.

"Looks like Manchester's compass." Barry said.

"If that thing finds where the circus is, it will be a massacre." The Green Arrow realized.

Suddenly, they heard a loud 'crash' as Amazo descended from above through the roof.

"Uh, what are we gonna do now?" Elongated Man paled.

Killer Frost fired ice blasts as Amazo used fire powers to melt them before it fired some light balls, knocking Killer Frost and Green Arrow down. Elongated Man tried to stretch his arm, ensnaring Amazo but it froze his arm as Ralph screamed in pain. Green Arrow fired an arrow that exploded, knocking Amazo back.

"You remember how we beat him the last time?" Green Arrow turned to the Flash, who nodded.

The Flash rushed at Amazo from behind, trying to negate his phasing powers but suddenly, a dagger in shape of lightning flew through the air, embedding itself onto a nearby wall as it drained the Flash, Elongated Man and Vibe of their powers as Amazo threw the Flash away as he hit the wall and was sure he had broken some ribs and they noticed Cicada and another man, who made Oliver's, Barry's and Caitlin's blood run cold.

"Joe!" Oliver cried out in horror.

"You shouldn't have come here." Kane growled.

He pulled out his gun and fired, while Green Arrow dodged. Amazo fired heat vision beams as Caitlin, Ralph, Barry and Cisco dodged. Caitlin glared and on instinct, she fired ice beams that knocked Cicada back as Amazo fired at Caitlin but they went right through her and she was unfazed as the wounds on her chest morphed into water briefly before she healed.

"Bad move." Caitlin growled before rushing at Amazo, turning her hand into water as it started to short-circuit and the electric backlash hurt Caitlin as her hand morphed and was burned. "Damn it."

Kane pulled out his sword as Green Arrow blocked with his bow. Kane aimed for Green Arrow's head but Green Arrow dodged before knocking Kane back.

The Flash and Cicada engaged in a fistfight and they were evenly matched before Cicada grabbed the Flash by his throat and growled as the Flash choked out, looking into the cold, merciless eyes of the masked metahuman serial killer. "You're going to pay for letting me to die." He slammed the Flash to the ground as the Flash groaned in pain.

Amazo fired energy blasts from its hands, knocking Ralph and Cisco back before Caitlin tried to fire another freeze blast, momentarily incapacitating Amazo before it flew up and away.

"What the hell…" Caitlin muttered

"Your father would be ashamed of you. You have no honor. No mercy. That's not who your father is anymore. You don't have to be that kind of person." Green Arrow tried to reason as Kane parried his attack.

"This is who I always was!" Kane snarled, knocking Green Arrow back and was about to deliver a killing blow before Batman descended from above, blocking Kane's sword with his gauntlets. Shoving Batman back and realizing he was outnumbered, Kane dropped a smoke bomb on the ground as it exploded and as the smoke lifted, Kane disappeared and Batman used his grapnel gun to ascend.


Later

Bruce looked at the damage that was done in his building as Oliver approached him. "Hey, Bruce."

"Hi, Oliver." Bruce said as they turned towards the streets that were halfway to ruins due to the underground damage. "What a mess…"

"At least it's not as bad as in Central City." Oliver pointed out.

"From what I've been reading, most of the metahumans that were or weren't prosecuted in Central City either ran to Gotham or somewhere else." Bruce said. "The metahuman panic apparently doesn't fade away."

"Apparently not." Oliver nodded.

"Gotham keeps getting dragged through more hell than before." Bruce said. "Most of Wayne Enterprise funds are being spent on rebuilding, renovation and building safe havens for refugee metahumans. And from what I've been hearing, there's also some kind of a metahuman…"

"Circus?" Caitlin asked as Bruce nodded.

"How do you know that?" Bruce asked.

"We saw that circus before." Patty said. "It does seem… genuine but…"

"Don't be fooled by first impression." Bruce realized as they all nodded. "Something tells me that a storm is coming. And when it does… I guess we all are gonna have to pick a side."


Circus

Johnny gathered a small group of metahumans, most of them criminals, such as Amunet, Adam Fells or Mark Mardon as he spoke. "Manchester thinks we can bring them joy, so that they can respect us. He treats us all like some attractions and children. Family is everything… but we need protection too. They'll strike us down if they find us."

"Look… not that I don't want to defend myself but I ain't looking to become an outlaw again." Mardon protested.

"Don't you think he's right?" Amunet pointed out. "We need to fight back."

Suddenly, they felt large tremors as Amazo descended from above.


Gotham City

"Oh, no…" Cisco paled as the vibe ended.

"Cisco, what did you see?" Barry asked.

"Nothing good. We gotta hurry." Cisco said.
