Tess is tired of running. She's tired of hiding, tired of acting like the scared little girl she shouldn't be anymore. But most of all, Tess is bored.
Luckily, all that hiding and boredom has led to a plan: If she can take out the Castle's systems, then maybe she can get its residents out in the open long enough to take them out. At this point, it's worth the risk, because Tess will no longer allow herself to be hunted down and exterminated like a pest. If she's going out, she's going out fighting.
Of course, in order to put her brilliant plan into action, she needs a database. A very powerful database with very sophisticated computer equipment. Any of her Luthorcorp labs are out of the question; no doubt Checkmate is watching them and she'd never make it inside alive. But there is one place Tess can think of that no one would ever expect her to be at. So that's precisely where she goes.
Getting inside Watchtower is easy. As soon as she'd figured out Chloe was behind it, setting up a DNA cloak was child's play and it's one of the gadgets Tess actually took with her. Accessing the system puts her meager hacking skills to good use, but something catches her eye before she really starts to put her plan into action. A file on the Kandorians.
"Not on my watch," Tess mutters and then sets about purging that particular file from the system.

Someone is trying to hack her and Chloe knows exactly who to blame, so she will turn around and glare at Tess, "who is working for you or who the hell sent you in here?"

"Since you clearly missed the memo, I'm on my own now. All I did was try to delete a file, so that's not me."

Tess scowls as another firewall gets bypassed. "Getting in was also easy. It's not like I don't have samples of your DNA and my little tech minions are savvy, too." She pulls a device out of her pocket. "DNA cloak. I had this made after you stormed my office and left your blood everywhere. And really, if my goal was to hack your system from the outside, I wouldn't be here."

After a few more error messages she gives in, "something must have led them here, this isn't a coincidence. You must have led them here."

Her jaw tightens as she starts going through the drawers in one of the desks, "I know you're bullheaded, but I didn't think you were stupid," pause as she pulls a small device from one of the drawers a second later, "did you bring anything in with you?"

And without warning, she steps closer and starts running the device over Tess' head.
