3rd Person POV

"Oh, great." Brooklyn mutters sarcastically as she walks into the lab to see Bishop in the containment area

"My thoughts exactly." Sara says, crossing her arms over her chest

"For a psychotic super villain, the guy's got a great look." Nate says

"Yeah, they always do." Astra says

"So, shall we start with the introductions?" Bishop asks. "You are of course, Ava. Not just any Ava. The Ava. Congratulations, by the way. Your engagement ring. So, do you two kids have a date yet or..."

"All right, that is enough." Sara cuts him off. "Don't listen to him. Don't even talk to him. He's just trying to get into our heads so that he can do whatever it is he came here to do."

"Where the hell is she?" Mick grumbles, walking into the lab

"You! My colleague Kayla had very strong thoughts about you ceasing to exist." Bishop says. "What happened, I wonder?

"She changed her mind." Mick says

"Is that so?" Bishop asks. "Well, speaking of changes, love the new 'do."

"Everybody out." Sara says. "Let's go. Everybody out, except for Spooner. Keep an eye on him. Tries to escape, shoot him in the face."

"You got it, Capitana." Spooner says, holding her gun up

"Why would I want to escape when I feel like I am finally home?" Bishop comments as the others leave

Nate, Ava, Brooklyn, and Sara are walking down the hallway as they talk

"Something's missing." Sara says

"What do you mean something's missing, like his moral compass?" Ava asks

"No, like 6% of who Bishop is." Sara says. "We destroyed his compound before he could finish uploading himself."

"You know what, guys, a true psychopath wouldn't wanna just murder the woman who destroyed his life work." Ava says. "He'd really want to take some time torturing her, you know.

"Thanks, babe. That's very reassuring." Sara says

"But if Bishop wants to play chess, he has chosen the wrong opponent." Ava says

"Uh, no, no, no, no, absolutely not." Sara tells her

"Please. C'mon, babe." Ava pleads. "I've always wanted to get inside the mind of an evil genius."

"Who, technically speaking, created you." Nate says. "Both of you, actually."

"Not helping Nate." Ava tells him

"Look, babe. I'll just go in there and try to find a way to connect with him. That way we can figure out why the hell he's here." Ava says

"You sure?" Sara asks

"Yes." Ava tells her

"Okay. All right. All right. Just don't let him get into your head, okay?" Sara says, giving Ava a kiss before the group separates. "She'll be okay...won't she?" Sara whispers

"She can handle herself." Brooklyn reminds Sara

"I was hoping we'd have a chance to kibbitz." Bishop says in the lab as Ava walks in. "Get to know each other, just you and me."

"But you already know me." Ava taunts. "You had a planet full of mes, didn't you?"

"Don't sell yourself so short." Bishop tells her. "Sara could have had her pick of my Avas, yet she turned over the heavens to get back to you. So, what makes you so special?"
