You die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
-The Dark Knight
If there's one thing Tess Mercer has become better at over the years, it's learning how to take advantage of a situation that on the surface appears to be a negative one.
Stuart was gone. Not dead, the little bastard, though she hoped he at least had brain damage, if only to make her feel better. Regardless, all she needed to know was that he was still alive and in the "care" of those she knew didn't trust her. Tess had acted quickly on that one; every security code - every security person - was now also gone. Replaced. Every single thing that had to do with keeping her secrets was changed, upgraded and improved.
She also now knew the answer to the scientific puzzle she and her team had been working on for over a week now. But knowing the result means nothing if you don't know the solution to getting there. To that end, Tess had arranged to have astronomical and solar energy experts flown in from around the world. They'd tell her how to achieve her goal. In the meantime, she needed to decide what she was going to do with the knowledge, once she had it.
Then there was Chloe. Which, really, was the least of her worries for now. So Chloe killed her in one version of the way things go (and Oliver still cared). This was not that Chloe and unless she started exhibiting those tendencies she wasn't any more of a problem than she had been in the past.
Zod was a different story. Tess needed to make a decision, a firm one. That's something she'd have to think about, but deep down, she knew she could still do it.
She could make things better.
