"Yes, once they arrive, take them to my office. I have new tasks to assign them."

After hearing his secretary's reply, Waller's furrowed brows did not relax. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

“I know, Commander Waller. I will bring them back to your office once they arrive.”

The secretary opened the log on the tablet, picked up the stylus, and quickly wrote down Waller's impromptu task on the tablet, also setting a reminder.

[Relying solely on Terry isn't enough. We need to find an opportunity to collect the gene samples from the other two. Although I've heard that Lex has some, it's highly unlikely I'll be able to get them from him. I'll have to think of another way.]

After explaining the mission and arrangements, Waller fell into thought again, even though the Sky Eye Society had already created a clone of a powerful figure.

But for her, it was still not enough. The Sky Eye still did not have enough of its own power to restrain superhumans, or superheroes.

Seeing Waller suddenly stand still, lost in thought, the secretary and other subordinates who were following behind her also stopped and silently found their places to stand.

The reason they did this was not only because they dared not disturb the officer, but also to prevent any foolish person from interrupting his thinking.

In the intensive care unit of the city hospital in Star City, Raymond Palmer, the Atom, who had fallen into a coma due to the Atom Girl's ambush and the explosion of the Atom suit, lay quietly on the hospital bed.

The explosion caused fragments of the white dwarf's core embedded in Raymond's suit belt to enter his body, resulting in his injuries being unpredictable and causing him to experience sudden cardiac arrests from time to time.

It is precisely for this reason that Raymond is now confined to the intensive care unit and must ensure that medical staff are always by his side to assist in monitoring his physical condition.

Green Arrow, who was living a carefree life, was now extremely busy because of this incident. In addition to guarding Star City at night, he also had to help Raymond keep an eye on Palmer Corporation, which he had built from scratch, to prevent it from being swallowed up by capitalists while Raymond was unconscious.

Having just finished dealing with some Quinn Industries matters for her husband Oliver Quinn, Dinah Laurel Lance arrived at the intensive care unit area and saw Atom Girl Rhonda Panida peering through the glass window at the inside of the ward with a sorrowful expression on her face.

She instinctively wanted to go forward to comfort her, but as she got closer, she noticed something a little strange. Although Atomic Girl had a sad expression on her face, for some reason, her eyes were faintly smiling.

After observing quietly for a moment and confirming that she hadn't misread it, Dina kept the matter in mind, planning to discuss it with her husband or some Justice League leader when she got home.

Rhonda, are you alright?

After quickly concealing the seriousness on her face, Diana forced a smile and walked towards Atomic Girl. As usual, she asked softly, "I'm fine, Diana. I'm just a little sad for Ray. He's so outstanding, yet he had to encounter something like this."

Upon hearing Diana's voice, Atomic Girl quickly suppressed the smile in her eyes, rubbed her eyes vigorously as if wiping away tears, and then spoke in a sorrowful tone.

Using the identity fabricated for her by the Grid, Atom successfully infiltrated Green Arrow's team as Raymond Palmer's biological sister. As for the Atom suit, she successfully fobbed it off by claiming that Raymond had sent it to her before he fell into a coma.

Although the Green Arrow team was cautious and conducted repeated investigations into Atom's information, the Grid's manipulation of the system allowed them to only discover the "truth" that Atom was indeed Raymond's sister, which led them to lower their guard.

"You have to be strong. I believe Lei wouldn't want to see you so sad and upset either. I'll cover your shift for now, you go and rest."

Dina gently patted Atomic Girl's shoulder, offering words of comfort like a caring older sister, but at this moment, suspicion of Atomic Girl had already arisen in her heart.

"Well then, I'll leave Ray to you, Diana. I'll come over and relieve you after I've rested for a bit."

As if truly persuaded by Diana's words, Atomic Girl glanced at Raymond on the hospital bed with considerable reluctance, and finally nodded gently, agreeing to Diana's suggestion.

After watching Atomic Girl's figure gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, Diana quickly took out her phone from her pocket, ready to tell her husband Oliver what she had just seen.

But just as her fingers touched the phone screen, she abruptly stopped. After a moment's thought, Diana put the phone back in her pocket.

After fumbling in his jacket for a moment, he took out a specially made communicator with a bat emblem, edited what he had just observed into a short message, and sent it directly.

[Hmph~ Looks like my acting wasn't too bad; I completely fooled those guys on Green Arrow's team.]

After leaving the city hospital, Atomic Girl, no longer needing to pretend to be sad and upset, walked with a lighter step and couldn't help but reveal a smug look on her face.

It contained both pride in his superb acting skills and pride in having completely outmaneuvered the Green Arrow team of superheroes.

However, what she didn't know was that her identity had already been discovered, and even within the Green Arrow team, which she had completely fooled, some people had begun to suspect her.

Meanwhile, in Gotham City, Batman, having left the secret warehouse and returned to his Batcomputer to monitor other locations, felt the special communicator he had placed on the desktop begin to vibrate.
