"So, do you have any ideas on what to look for?" Khione asked Nyssa as they walked through the city.

"Nope, I almost wish my husband's ex fiance was here right now." Nyssa said.

"Will you please stop calling my boyfriend your husband. It's really old and really annoying." Khione asked.

"I'm sorry, I did not realize you two had gotten back together. I will officially sever my marriage to Oliver after this is over." Nyssa said.

"Thank you." Khione said.

"But now I must ask." Nyssa said.

"Where did my powers come from?" Khione asked and Nyssa nodded.

"They started manifesting a few days ago after Darhk stabbed me." Khione said.

"He stabbed you?" Nyssa said angrily.

"It's okay, I healed and I got even that son of a bitch. My powers healed me." Khione assured her.

"How did you get your powers?" Nyssa asked.

"I don't know. That's another mystery I have to solve." Khione said and Nyssa nodded as they continued their search.

"Damn it, where is Thea?" Spartan asked as he and Green Arrow came up empty handed in their search.

"I don't know. But we still have plenty of houses to search." Green Arrow said, right as an arrow flew by them, only dodging Green Arrow because he managed to dodge at the last minute.

They turned to see Dark Archer standing in the street.

"You know, next time you want to infiltrate a villain's secret lair, maybe don't wear your costumes, you stand out greatly." Malcolm said.

"Why did you do it Malcolm? Why would you abduct your own daughter?" Green Arrow demanded.

"To protect her. The world above is doomed, at least down here she'll survive." Malcolm said.

"So you haven't heard the news then?" Spartan asked.

"What news?" Malcolm asked.

"Darhk's dead and Rubicon is secure. Genesis will never happen. Now it's time for me to correct another mistake of mine." Green Arrow said.

"And what might that be?" Malcolm asked as Green Arrow aimed an arrow at him.

"Letting you live." Green Arrow said as he fired at Malcolm, who dodged and charged at him.

"Find Speedy, I'll deal with him." Green Arrow said to Spartan, who nodded and continued searching while Green Arrow met Malcolm's sword with his bow.

"I've been waiting for this rematch." Malcolm said.

"So have I and this time, only one of us is going to walk away." Green Arrow said.

"Finally, something we agree on." Malcolm said as they continued fighting.

"You'd think they'd build a sign or something that says headquarters or something." Khione said as she and Nyssa struck out again.

"Perhaps we've been going through this the wrong way." Nyssa said as she observed some of the people staring at them.

"How so?" Khione asked.

"Instead of wasting our time searching ourselves, why not recruit a tour guide?" Nyssa asked and Khione smiled.

"Pick a target and I'll handle the rest." Khione said and Nyssa nodded as she spotted a Ghost in the vicinity.

"There, these people are innocent, though I can tell they're here of their own free will. But they wouldn't know where a command center is. A Ghost on the other hand." Nyssa said and Khione grinned.

"Just for the sake of asking, do you want to do it or should it be me?" Khione asked.

"You do it, since there's a better chance he'll come out alive. Plus, since if what you said is right, he'll be far more afraid of the woman who killed Damien Darhk than me." Nyssa said.

"Coming right up." Khione said as she ice blasted the Ghost, sending him flying.

"Quick, you need to remove his cyanide capsule." Khione said to Nyssa, who nodded and lunged into action, grabbing the frozen man and after locating his capsule, yanked it out before restraining him.

"What do you want?" the Ghost asked.

"Why we just want a tour of this lovely city." Khione said sweetly.

"Yes perhaps you could start by showing us where it's base is." Nyssa agreed.

"You honestly think I'd do that?" the Ghost asked.

"Considering I'm the woman who put an a ice shard through whatever it is Damien Darhk has instead of a heart, yeah, I would." Khione said, bringing an icicle to her hand and enjoying the effect her words had on him.

"Fine, you'll be outnumbered anyways." the Ghost grumbled as Khione and Nyssa forced him to lead the way.
