Synopsis for "Arrows Against The World"
Batman and Nightwing call Team Arrow and tell them about the attack by Task Force VII. Roy asks how they can help but they tell Team Arrow to remain on the island, as whatever deal Oliver cut with Waller appears to have included leaving Team Arrow out of the fight, and they may end up being the only heroes left if the resistance fails. However, as soon as the transmission ends, Roy says he's not going to do that. He leads them to a new Arrowcave under the beachhouse, and says that the only person who may know of a weakness in the new Amazos is Professor Ivo, the original creator.
At the Hall of Order, Oliver watches the broadcasts of the Bureau attacking his friends. Bright approaches him and asks if Oliver is already planning to betray them. Oliver replies that he has realised that rounding up the various superweapons out there is meaningless unless they also bring the creators in. Bright says that they will tell Waller but Oliver insists on doing it himself. Bright tells Oliver that they will kill him as soon as Waller no longer needs him.
Cheshire's criminal contacts tell her that Ivo is holed up in a hidden lab in Death Valley. Team Arrow fly over and enter the lab, but Cheshire warns them that Ivo is "not Well". Indeed, when they find him Ivo is deformed and half-mad. They easily disarm him when he points a gun at them, and Connor demands to know how to stoop Task Force VII, but Ivo tells them he had nothing to do with building them and considers them "abominations". However, they are still part of his work and he won't do anything to destroy them. He reactivates the Tomorrow Woman and runs away.
Lian and Cheshire chase after Ivo while the rest of Team Arrow try to fight the Tomorrow Woman, but find that she is too powerful and she quickly overpowers them. Meanwhile, Ivo is captured and arrested by Bright before Lian and Cheshire can get to him.

Notes
- This story takes place between the events of Batman (Volume 3) #150 and Absolute Power #2.
- When Team Arrow encounter the Tomorrow Woman, Arsenal mentions that Ivo and T.O. Morrow created her to infiltrate and destroy the Justice League, as shown in JLA #5. This confirms that the events of JLA (Volume 1) are canon following the "unknotting" of the timeline in the last Metal War.
