The fact that Julia fell into a dead faint after Oliver's insight said almost as much as if she had divulged all the things she knew about the raiders.

It seemed that "Leverage against Donnie" was the key phrase in the entire interoegation.

"Sapphire, un-ice her." Oliver commanded without much room for her to argue. "Felix get rid of the bugs."

Neither of them seemed happy to take the orders, but Jax put a hand on the blind boys shoulder and he wilted, slightly. One sharp note and the spiders, wasps, and beatles of various pain factoring bites, retreated off the unconscious girl. At the removal of the ice she toppled to the ground like a wet sandbag.

Oliver crouched next to her, checking her pulse and frowning. Julia for all her bite, was after all just a teenager. Once upon a time she might have been getting ready for prom rather than being an accomplise to a kidnapping.

(And now she was traumatized, good grief. Oliver became a scientist to help people with powers, not destroy them. Regardless of his anger at her involvement, he couldn't help the dash of sympathy.)

He checked the sky, the storm cloud rumbled. The first drops of rain were starting to come down.

"We need to get to cover." He told the mutants, "And we need a plan."
