Central City Police Department

Barry and Julian walked back into their lab placing their equipment on their desks. Barry got out the labs microscope before getting out the sample he had taken. He placed the sample under the microscope. Barry looked down into the lens to examine the sample. The sample had the same base components as a simple playing card but as he zoomed in closer he could see the molecules had been altered. The alteration that had been done made the card like expanding cement. Barry had never seen anything like this so he asked Julian to come and take a look. Julian took a look at the sample giving the same confused expression as Barry as he finished looking at the sample. Neither Barry or Julian knew what this was. Barry got an idea taking out his phone and calling Silas. The phone rang for a while before Silas finally picked up.
"Barry? This is an odd call but a welcome one. What's the problem?" Silas asked over the phone. Barry explained what he was dealing with to Silas before asking if he knew of any lab that could make something like it. "Well unfortunately I don't think their is any major lab that is working on or even Capable of something like that" Silas answered.
"It's okay, thanks for your help anyway. Say hello to Victor for me" Barry replied before ending the phone call. Barry looked at Julian with a defeated look on his face. As they ready to give up an Joe ran up the stairs entering the lab.
"We got a match on two of the suspects" Joe declared. Barry and Julian smiled with this info.

Metropolis City bank third branch

Kara landed in an alleyway behind the bank as she flew in with Iris in her arms. The bank was closed due to renovations so Kara and Iris went in throughout back, Kara crushing the handle to open the door. The bank was dark as the lights were off, Iris using a torch to help her see. They made it into the security office and turned the computer on. Iris started to look threw old security tapes looking for a specific day. She finally found the one she was looking for, clicking play immediately. The footage was old since it was from 2007 but still visible. The footage started playing as it looked like an ordinary day. Then two people walk in with gas masks covering their face. They throw a purple glowing grenade in the ground as smoke starts to fill the room. The smoke knocks everyone out leaving a clear path to the vault. They walked up to the vault placing a card in the centre. Iris and Kara watched as the cats expanded covering the vault door before it fell onto the floor. Kara instantly recognised the gadget. Iris noticed Kara had spotted something on the video, so she asked what she saw. Kara pointed out the card trick they used on the vault was the same they pulled on her in the museum. Iris smiled knowing they had found a clue. She downloaded the recording onto a memory stick before putting it into her bag and signalled for them to leave. As they were leaving Iris's phone started to ring. She picked up the phone to an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this?" Iris asked down the phone.
"Hello miss West" the called replied. His voice was cold and ruff. "I know you and miss Kent are in the bank. I will give you one warning. I don't care if your doing this for a story or to help your detective dad, but you better stay out of my business!" The caller demanded. Iris looked at Kara who snatched the phone from her.
"WHO IS THIS!" Kara shouted down the phone. The voice laughed as he replied.
"Ace" he said softly. Suddenly an explosion could be heard from under the bank. Iris looked at Kara as the phone went dead.
"Run" Iris stated as Kara picked her up in her arms. The building started to collapse debris falling around them. Kara smashed through a piece of debris as she vaulted out the door. The building crumbled behind them as they both payed on the ground as dust started to fill the air. Iris thanked Kara as they both stood up brushing the dust and dirt of their clothes. "So he calls himself Ace?" Iris questioned. Kara nodded as she looked at the crumpled building in front of her. "So we have Queen, King, Jack now Ace. The only coming thing relating those names is playing cards" Iris stated. As she finished speaking an idea came to her mind. "How many casinos are there in Metropolis?" Iris asked.
"Just the one I think" Kara replied turning around to see Iris's smile.
"Are you old enough to get into a casino?" Iris questioned. Kara shook her head. "Is Supergirl?" Iris asked the smile on her face becoming wider. Kara smiled back understanding what Iris meant before she flew them both towards the casino.

Metropolis Queenie and Charles's house

Barry sped to the address Joe had given him in his search. As Barry arrived at the house the Metropolis Police department had already arrived. Two officers stood outside the doors to the house making sure nobody entered. Using his super speed Barry ran to the back of the house letting himself in undetected. He moved round the house looking for information on Queen and King. He walked round the house using his gloves to look through draws. As he reached the bedroom wardrobe he came across a safe at the bottom. It was a number locked safe with many combinations. Barry guessed multiple times finally getting the right code. When he opened the safe he founds stacks of money, but under that money hidden was a file. He picked up the file looking through it. The first document was a detailed brief on the relic that had been stolen from the museum. Barry flipped to the next document which had details on the second relic. The third document was for the third and final relic but it had no information on it. Barry picked up the second document looking to see where it was being held. It was to be held in a underground auction in Metropolis, tonight. Barry quickly put all the stuff away leaving the safe unlocked for the police, before he zoomed out to the location of the auction. The Metropolis Casino.
