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.

She wipes a hand across her forehead. "Is it getting warmer in here or am I just hot flashing?"

"That's your grand plan? Wait for Oliver to save you?"

Another sigh and Tess pushes her hair out of her face. "Death by asphyxiation. Well, I can't say I ever saw that one coming."

Tess empties her water bottle and leans her head back. "No one's ever really let you down, have they?"

And then Chloe has to smirk at that, "you really don't know much about me, do you, Tess? I've been let down plenty, but some people are worth trusting."
no subject
She huffs out a soft laugh. "I mean really let down. I can tell. No one has. But believe me, there comes a time when not trusting anyone is simple self-preservation."
