Time for a trip to Palermo City to check in on Green Lantern and Blue Beetle. Also, I'm changing the actor for Samantha Gamble from the Lauriver Chronicles from Cobie Smulders to Deborah Ann Woll.
Alex and Felicity had both adjusted well to their move to Palermo City, though Alex still used a combination of her ring and the zeta tube network to return to National City to help plan her sister's wedding.
Anyways, Alex had taken command of the DEO's Palermo City headquarters, which had honestly been a little neglected and understaffed when she'd arrived, though Alex had quickly fixed that and brought it up to proper DEO standards, while Felicity had taken control of Argo Enterprise's Weapons Development facility in Palermo and thanks to her, they were now running even more efficiently and she'd upped security. Especially due to the new enemies Green Lantern and Blue Beetle were facing lately.
OMACs. Humans outfitted with strange armor technology that honestly looked similar to the technology that made up Felicity's Blue Beetle armor, but more crude.
And each time an OMAC was defeated, a new model was sent, being made more advanced to improve upon weaknesses that had been exploited in the previous models.
"Do we have any idea where these OMACs are coming from?" Alex asked her girlfriend as they returned to their base operations, which they called the Hive and was built inside an abandoned Kord Industries warehouse that they'd converted into their base using a combination of Argo's technology, technology developed from Felicity's scarab and technology they'd relocated from Ted Kord's former base underneath his old house in Palermo City.
"No clue. But I think I know who created them." Felicity said.
"What do you have?" Alex asked.
"Well, based on the scans my armor has gotten off those OMACs, they're based on old Kord Industries technology. So I reached out to Ted and he told me that his suspicion is that his sister is the one sending the OMACs, since they were originally her brainchild." Felicity said.
"Why would Victoria Kord build and send OMACs after us?" Alex asked.
"According to Ted, she was obsessed with the scarab after she found out what it was and constantly tried to replicate it. And I think the only thing she'd want to study more than my scarab would be your ring." Felicity said.
"She wants to replicate my ring? Good luck with that. Unless she somehow got the Guardians of the universe to spill their secrets, she'd never be able to replicate it." Alex said.
"I know. But with the right fix, she could replicate my scarab's tech, since while the OMACs are already based on the design, they don't have the same capabilities my armor does, since they can't create weapons the same way I can." Felicity said.
"True. But now we need to figure out where Victoria's hiding and how she even has the resources to build these OMACs, since when Kara bought Kord Industries, she kicked Victoria out of business after finding proof of her unethical experiments." Alex said.
"Evil geniuses always find someone willing to back them." Felicity said, since she was the daughter of one such evil genius, Noah Kuttler, aka the notorious hacker the Calculator.
"Why can't they be like you and Kara and put their genius to use helping mankind?" Alex asked.
"I don't know. I stopped trying to figure out how evil scientists' minds work a long time ago." Felicity said.
"But we do need to figure out what Victoria is doing and stop her before she does anymore damage. So maybe the next time she sends an OMAC, we try to disable it without completely destroying it, since if its CPU stays intact, maybe we can try and decrypt intel from it, like say, where they're coming from." Alex said.
"Then we'll need more backup. These OMACs are getting harder to take down. We could at least use someone in a chair here to run the back end." Felicity said.
"I know. It's just hard to find qualified individuals we can trust with our secret." Alex said and Felicity nodded.
"Well, we're going to have to try." Felicity said and Alex nodded.
