When Oliver came to, he groaned as he got up to find everyone else in a similar state.

"What the hell was that?" John asked.

"That was Amanda Waller crashing Thea's birthday party, though why she'd do that is beyond me, since she knows I'm still pissed about Hong Kong." Oliver said.

"Actually, I think I can guess, since look who isn't here anymore." Felicity said.

"Thea and Laurel." Quentin said.

"Both of our metahuman field players. I thought that Waller would know better than to abduct my girlfriend and sister." Oliver said.

"I'm guessing this means we're not going to wait for Shadowspire to kill her this time around?" John asked.

"Nope. This time, I'm going to kill her myself." Oliver said.

"So, what's the plan? Besides storm Argus?" Lyla asked.

"Lyla, are you sure you want to be involved in this?" Oliver asked her.

"Waller is my boss. You guys are my friends. Hell, some of you have even become family and I'm not just talking about John. Oliver, you helped put our family back together, since let's face it, I don't think John and I ever would've gotten married if it weren't for you." Lyla said.

"I'm flattered that you think that, but you two would have found your way back together eventually. Just like Laurel and I did." Oliver said.

"True, but Oliver, you definitely helped speed things up by helping me find closure with Lawton, since honestly, now that I know the kind of man Andy really was, not to mention the man Lawton was and still is." John said.

"Yeah, and Lawton isn't the only member of the Suicide Squad that we saw redeem himself." Oliver said, thinking of Ben Turner.

"Anyways, maybe we should get back to the mission at hand." Quentin said.

"We're storming the Argus HQ." Oliver said.

"We know that, but what's the plan?" Dinah asked.

"Well for one thing, we're going to show Waller she didn't take all our metas." Oliver said as he looked at Dinah and Felicity.

"We're both going?" Felicity asked and Oliver nodded.

"Once we're in, Lyla, I want you to get Felicity down to the Suicide Squad's holding center." Oliver said.

"Wait, what?" Felicity asked.

"You're the only who can deactivate their bomb implants, since there's a chance Waller will end up trying to deploy them to counter us, but if we disable those bombs." Oliver said.

"Then she's got nothing on them." John said.

"Exactly. We might even get them to join us for this fight." Oliver explained.

"Do you think that Waller would hold Laurel and Thea at Argus HQ? She may have been dumb enough to pull this stunt, but do you really think that she'd hold them in such an obvious place?" Dinah asked.

"Unlikely, but Argus HQ has access to all of Argus's files. Easiest way to find them is to get access." Oliver said and they nodded as they continued working out a plan.

"What is the status of the transport of my newest assets?" Waller asked one of her agents as she stood in the command center of Argus HQ.

"They are on their way to the facility, but ma'am, I have to ask, was it really worth the risk. You know Oliver Queen will come here for you." the agent said.

"And I am already prepared for that contingency. After all, I know for a fact that there are few things Oliver Queen values or cares more for than his family. Now, resume fortifying this base. I know Oliver and his team will get past them, but it will buy us time to prepare." Waller said and the agent nodded as he got back to work.
