Ivana smiled evilly, appreciating her new associate viewpoint, "Of course, the 'Sparkle Crew' is already dealing with that and the clean up after the 'Electrical Monster'. Also, I'm making additional strikes. From what information we have divined from the earlier interrogation, I have determined that not only do we need to strike Wayne Manor, but we also need to strike Wayne Enterprises.... Batman and his associates obviously get their equipment from somewhere. Also, Wayne Enterprises funded the Titans in the past. 'When your enemy goes to ground, leave no ground for him to go to.'
"And that reminds me... since Pennyworth is involved and the associations in Wayne Enterprises, we need to capture Lucius Fox, Wayne Enterprises' CEO. Fox was the head of 'Applied Sciences' before he became CEO. He knows where all the toys are.
"Also, since we have found out that the cyberhacker Oracle is Barbara Gordon and formerly Batgirl, we'll need to get a hold of her father, Commissioner James Gordon for leverage.
"And on a more personal note for you and your husband, you would want to get your hands on one of Wayne's wards, one Richard Grayson who is Nightwing. Threshold got the rather vivid thoughts from your daughter that Kai is intimate with Grayson. Something about Kai wearing just lingerie for him? Grayson is a known womanizer like Wayne. Thought you should know."

"Got it Ivana. This plan sounds perfect. Pull all the pillars leave nothing to rebuild, and allow to draw in more heroes as they come along. But..."
She looked to the ceiling and then back to Ivana with deep thought.
"If your plan doesn't work... We will only get away with the little heroes we can manage. If we are wrong we could have the President turning against us, and the federal funds pulled. Before this plan, call any affiliated organization, get technological help from all sources. If you allow your ops, and your organization to give the Meta-humans and all their friends an inch they will slip out of your fingers. Never to be caught again."
Rose held out the pen that was in her hand struggling not to snap in her fist. She held it up in a light, few finger hold twirling it. Thinking of this friend of Kai's. Taking something that precious from Kaira... leaving her no one to lean on, that would make her mother truly happy. Her daughter will have no reason to leave the confines of the base, and her emotional state will be weak enough from the loss to make it no pain to control their daughter for good.
"And Grayson, My husband and I will deal with him."
She held the pen in a full grip again and squeezed her hand snapping the pen in half. It was a newer tougher plastic and copper pen that could write in the toughest of conditions.

The I.O. director pursed her lips deep in thought from Rose's input and leaned back in her chair, "Hmmmm.... You may have a point, Rose. How about this? Hit Wayne Manor and 'occupy' Wayne Enterprises on the suspicion of assisting the Batman. We can question Fox, while Threshold scans his mind. And... keep Commissioner Gordon under surveillance as a precaution."

"That sounds like a better plan. And also..."
Rose threw the broken pen in the trash and held her clipboard back to her again.
"Can we get the president or the vice to do an announcement. Announce that all Meta-humans are now considered criminals and have warrants for their arrest. With police reports of the heroes we can track them more easily. That and it should slow them down."
Rose pulled a folder from her clipboard of paperwork and set it on Ivana's desk. The folder when opened contained photos, images from news headlines of nearly all the Teen Titans, Justice league, and associates such as Zatanna.
"Flashes, Batman and his birds, Martians, Kryptonians, Bang babies, Teen Titans, and the Justice league subordinates. Should be considered, and shown at this announcement."

Ivana leaned forward to gaze directly in Rose's eyes, "I don't disagree with your idea, but it would never work. We've heard of a attempt of that from the other Earth, and it backfired horribly. Let's just stick with rounding up the Batman, his crew, and the Titans. And then, we simply follow the spider's web to see where it actually takes us.
"Also, while I'm thinking about it, when we do capture some of these SPBs... I'm like you to co-ordinate with Jimmy Zorn. He was second in command with Stonewall. Some of the ones we capture may be able to be used in the program. Then, we may be able to augment our forces with some of these heroes -- as willing agents..."

"If you need additional tech... I found some information that could provide the material I need faster, allowing me to make at least one of the suits I provided the concepts to you of earlier."
He had been leaning against the wall in Ivana's office this entire time. When Rose had walked up he had forgotten all about sneaking away from Ivana or what had recently happened to him. He was more interested in this discussion about the Meta-Humans.
"A high ranking military official named William Striker. He runs an operation of his own behind the government. One of his projects ended with Wolverine having his bones fused with one of the metals that I need. Another ended with a woman code named Lady Deathstrike having the same turn out. He's known for trying to use mutants and meta-humans like our project does."
Henry was looking Ivana dead in the eyes. "He once ran the mutant group of assassins called Weapon X." He surely did his research of Striker before considering him for a possible contact for material.

Ivana was surprised by Henry's presence, but she didn't show it. Turning dark eyes toward the junior scientist, the I.O. director purred, "Henry... You can be very sneaky, when you wish to be. Weapon X eh? Go ahead and find out what you can and report back to me.... Especially with the locations of William Striker, Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike, if possible."

As both Nathalia and Rachel attempt to escape quietly in the air ventilation system, they find the vent suddenly drop into darkness as the vent opens up into a wide vertical shaft.....

 There was a sudden creaking and the vent beneath Nathalia quaked. "Aw sh-" without even completing her sentence, Nat sudden felt gravity turn and the vent gave. "Agh!" she fell to the floor where the guards were wheeling the barrels, tucking and rolling. In seconds she was on her feet, body in a defensive stance and eyes going to Rachel. They. Were. Screwed. So, so screwed. Her breathing was heavy and she was ready to ram her steel toed boots where the sun don't shine if a guard came towards them.

 Rachel landed on her side, but quickly got to a sitting position. Hearing the chorus of rifles clicking their safeties off, Rachel groaned, "Ah f**k me sideways...""Zere vill be none of zat, Miss Goldman. Und you two are not vere you should be. Miss Carter, I ... expected better of you," both girls heard the familiar voice of Helga Kleinmann. As the pair of 'test subjects' are surrounded by Black Talons, Helga strode into view dressed in a black uniform, neat and proper with a luger as a sidearm. Boring a steely gaze down at both girls with her hands crisply folded behind her, Helga spoke again, Ze question vill be then... vill this be ze easy vay or ze hard vay?"

Nathalia shot Helga what could have been the first respectful death glare ever. She could have taken them. If they didn't have guns. If she didn't have to think about watching Rachel's back, even when the girl could deal for herself. But she wasn't stupid. Those were full automatics. The reaction time would leave them bleeding and broken, as neither of them could move like the flash. She lowered her hands. "Easy, I think. We don't need to die looking like swiss cheese." Her eyes were narrowed and words cold. Likely Helga would not care. But it made her feel good. She sounded tough, and in moments like these, you wanted to sound tough.

Rachel surrendered unwillingly, knowing that the situation was hopeless. Helga's expression changed very subtly -- as if she gave a respectful nod to Nat, "Very good then." The German sergeant made a motion with her right hand, and two of the Black Talons moved in to cuff both Nat and Rachel -- bring both of them to a standing position. Ms. Kleinmann gave a slight nod almost in an apology, "Merely a formality I'm afraid. You two follow me vith them, und ze rest of you continue vith ze operation."
Motioning with her hand toward one end of the hallway, Helga had two guards escort Nat and Rachel toward the elevators.

The cuffs clipped against her skin as they were snapped on. Nathalia gave the guard who did it a glower. On the inside she was smiling. Her dad had taught her how to get out of these. She had made certain to clench her wrist slightly, though not noticeably. If need be, she could get out of them. It would hurt, but just in case. Silently she followed Helga, resentful look in her eyes. For now they could do nothing.

Henry nodded at first and turned to leave before thinking about something and looking back. "Wolverine won't work for us, even under extensive control, but his brother on the other hand...." He then turned back again to leave and walked out the door, shutting it behind him.
He went back to his lab and started to do research into William Striker, Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth's where-abouts.

"So... I'm going to get back to work . I have to attend to making sure we have weapons and I'll get suited up for a fight. Get to RedFire wherever she may be here, and get her notified as well."
Rose Summers set down her clipboard of some research she had been doing since her time in this world and in the other. The board had research on not only their daughter but gave some insight to the abilities and tools of Batman, and his other sidekicks. A lot of research had especially been put into the flash family. Flash, Girl flash, Kid flash, impulse. As if she had some sort of grudge against that set of heroes especially. In any case the clipboard was left for Ivana to keep. Not like it was her only clipboard but she also wanted to be slightly productive for I.O. before she attempted taking on some "heroes".
