The Beginning of the End
Lena was restless on the plane ride, deciding that instead of stressing aimlessly, she would hack into her own impenetrable system (which both Winn Schott and Felicity Smoak had both helped her create), and that proved to be a harder task than she'd originally thought. The firewall was extensive, and half of the code kicked her out of the program when she was getting close to getting through. Alex and Maggie left Lena alone, for the most part, only forcing her to pause long enough to eat and drink water (mostly because focused Lena was scary, especially when she was pushing down all of her feelings). Lena managed to make it in and wipe the drives clean about an hour before landing, which left her time to think about her plan. Particularly, how flawed said plan was.
"What do you think the chances are that we'll all die on this trip are?" Lena asked suddenly.
"Lena, I think there's about a 1% chance all three of us die. There's probably a 3% chance both Maggie and I die, a 5% chance just Maggie or I die, and a 30% chance you die, and that's just because you'll probably give her an opening to kill you." Alex sighed.
"At least the odds are all below 50. I don't know if I'm ready to see her again." Lena shrugged, shutting the laptop down. Again, the private plane went silent except for the sound of the engines. Alex and Maggie were curled up together in the corner of a couch, Maggie asleep against her wife. Alex stayed silent, holding her until the seatbelt sign came on again and she had to wake the small woman.
Landing stressed Lena out even more than takeoff or flying itself, she hated it with a burning passion. Today's landing was smoother than ever, and she found herself unfazed by the fact that the airplane was plummeting toward the earth at an uncomfortable speed. She was partially certain she would die on the trip anyway.
The warehouse was about twenty minutes away, so Maggie drove there, being the best driver of the group. They stepped out of the car, and Maggie and Alex were almost amazed by the size of the building. Lena led the women inside, immediately approaching the smallest of the machines, which still came up to the height of her waist. She turned to her sisters-in-law with a deadly serious look on her ace.
"The on/off switches are very clearly labeled. Don't turn these things on. The security footage is up there, so keep an eye on it, check it every once in a while." Lena announced.
"Can I shoot them?" Maggie asked hopefully.
"Yes, take on the biggest one first, as long as Alex follows you and takes them apart a bit. When she shows up, don't kill her until I talk to her." Lena explained.
"Okay. Let's get to work, babe." Alex smiled, patting Maggie's shoulder gently.
"Let's get to work," Lena muttered to herself, beginning to dismantle her greatest masterpiece.
