"If this is just a potential future," Mick started as we made our way through Star City. "It doesn't matter if we kill anyone here, right?
Rip sighed. "Well, to avoid the risk of a paradox, it's probably best to refrain from killing anyone."
I snapped my fingers in disappointment. "Damn, and I had a list of people," I said sarcastically.
Sara chuckled before she took the lead. "My sister's apartment use to be over here."
"You have a sister?" I asked.
She nodded. "Her name's Laurel." Huh, you learn something new everyday.
"I seem to remember something about your father being a police captain," Snart said. Really? Why is there always one person in a team whose dad works for the police? They're either Sheriff or Deputy or Captain or Detective.
"Your point?"
"Did one hell of a job." I rolled my eyes. Would he just shut up already?
Sara shook her head. "My father and everyone else would never let this happen...unless they were all dead." We followed her through the streets in complete silence, which I enjoyed. "Palmer Tech's just two blocks up this way. Or at least it use to be."
Suddenly, there was this loud explosion that caused us to duck a bit. I heard people yelling and some guns being shot. We ran towards one of the buses and jumped inside for cover. I looked out the window to see a bunch of people coming out on their dirt bikes and fighting each other. Some had some iron poles and were hitting the other people while others used their guns to fire at each other.
"It's like World War III out there," Snart said.
"It's beautiful," Mick added.
"You would say that," I snapped as I got in one of the seats.
For gunshots were fired until the Green Arrow came. He jumped on one of the crates and shot a guy riding up to him. I covered my eyes as this huge light shone.
"We need to find another route," Rip said.
I rolled my eyes. "What made you think that? The guns, the people firing them, or the Green Arrow guy shooting like Katniss Everdeen?"
Mick and Snart were enjoying this whole scene. They love the destruction, even if they're not causing it. Mick laughed when one of the riders got his head bashed in the window. I looked out to see the Green Arrow killing another guy, who held a gun. Like I said, he could put Allison's family out of business.
My eyes widen when one the gunners shot Green Arrow, making him fall off the other bus. Sara got out of her seat and ran towards him, ignoring Rip's calls. I got up from my seat and climbed over Snart before running after Sara. I moved out of the way before a bullet went past my head. One of the guys ran towards me and I flicked one of my claws out to swipe his face. He fell down and I continued to run after her.
"Don't move," I heard the Green Arrow said after she turned the corner. I finally found them, with him pointing his arrow at her. "You - you are persistent."
I stopped next to her. "Which could get her killed one day."
Sara ignored me, her eyes never leaving his. "I saw you get shot point-blank." I did, too, but I don't chase after him. He did try to kill us after all.
"It's high-density Kevlar, now...who the hell are you two?"
I raised my hand up. "If you want an introduction, that's fine. I'm Morgan Hale and this is my...teammate Sara Lance. Now, mind telling us who you are?"
"I'm the Green Arrow."
I shook my head. "According to her you're not."
"Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow," Sara said. Who?
The guy turned off his voice modulator and put his bow down. "No, he's not. Oliver Queen is dead."
Sadness. Heartache. That's all I could smell from Sara. I guess this Oliver person must be really close to her. "How did Oliver die?"
"I - I don't know." His pulse just skipped a beat. "No one does. No one's seen him since - Well, since the Uprising." I gave him a suspicious look.
"Uprising?"
"Is just what people called it when - Well, when all of this happened." Ok, that is steady. His heart beat went down as he thought about this Uprising. "15 years ago, he brought an army with him."
"Who brought an army?" I asked.
"I did," A voice said behind us.
I shifted quickly as the Green Arrow held up his bow. A man in a mask half silver half black strolled over. Sara's heartbeat started to quicken a bit.
"No, it's not possible," She breathed. She whipped out her two poles, or whatever you want to call them. "How did you get off Lian Yu?" And something tells me she knows this guy. The guy stayed quiet. "Say something, damn it!"
Rip finally caught up to us. "Ms Lance? Ms Hale?" He finally noticed our special guest and pointed his gun at him. "Who is this?"
"Someone very dangerous."
"Then now is not the right time for me to say it - but please, remind me later to tell you that I told you so."
I groaned. "Enough with the flirting. Let's kick some ass!"
I was ignored...again. "How are you still alive, Slade?" Sara asked.
The guy in front of us started laughing. "Slade. That's a name I've haven't heard in a long time." The guy took off his mask to reveal a teenage boy. "How do you know my father?"
I scrunched up my face. "I feel sorry for the woman who gave birth to you."
He glared at me before looking at Sara. "He called you Ms Lance. Any relation to the late Captain Lance? If so, you must have heard stories about my father."
"I knew your father," Sara said. "He was insane. Seems to run in the family."
The guy smirked. "I'm going to enjoy killing you -" Sara twirled her staffs. "Or we will!"
And on command a few of his goons came out. Green Arrow shot towards one of the guys. There's too many of them for us to take. "Ok, bad idea." He spun around and shot his grappling arrow. "Come on."
Rip, Sara, and I grabbed onto him and I felt my feet being lifted off the ground. Even though we're running for our lives, I couldn't help but wonder...where the hell are Mick and Snart?
》》》》
The Green Arrow took us to some abandoned parking garage. I guess Sara knew this Slade person when she spoke out loud, "Slade had a son?"
I sighed. "It's weird. Who would want to mate with that?"
Sara ran her hand through her hair. "Look, Oliver tried," Greenie started. "He tried to raise an army to fight Deathstroke, but...look, everyone just wanted to evacuate." Deathstroke, now that's a name. "How can you save a city that doesn't want to be saved?"
I leaned back on one of the pillars. "Man, and I thought Beacon Hills had problems," I mumbled.
Rip came over and pulled Sara into a hushed conversation. I don't why he bothers, I could listen in anyway. Green Arrow walked up to me. "So, what are you suppose to be?"
"Werewolf," I stated.
"There are no such things."
I groaned. "How is that hard for people to believe? There's literally an army of super soldiers, but you can't grasp the idea of werewolves existing?"
"Nope." I rolled my eyes before I fully shifted and growled at him. "Ok, then."
I shifted back when Rip came over. "We're very grateful for your assistance, but we really must be moving along to Smoak Technologies."
"What for? That place has been cleared out for years, but a lot of Felicity Smoak's projects got relocated."
"Where?" Sara asked.
He gestured us to follow him. "Come on."
》》》》
Sara seemed a bit nervous to be here. Green Arrow took us to some building and we were going down a secret elevator. When the elevator door opens I found myself in a room where everything was covered up.
Rip let out a low whistle. "Mr. Queen's base of operations appears to have seen better days."
I looked around the room. "So this is the Arrow cave?" I looked towards one of the crates to see a robotic arm.
"Yeah, well...the place got attacked after Grant Wilson outed Queen as the Green Arrow."
I drowned the rest of the conversation and looked around some more. I found some mannequin display cases. I lifted one of the sheets to reveal an old computer system. I heard something move in the shadows. I extended my hearing. One heartbeat...two heartbeats...three heartbeats....four.
I looked up and followed the sound as I let my eyes glow. The sound was coming from one of the shadows and he wasn't moving. I pretended that I was looking back at the computer before disappearing into the shadows. The person was looking for me, but he tried not to give his position. I quietly climbed up one of the beams and crawled toward him.
The guy kept looking around for me. I jumped down from the beam and kicked the guy behind his back. He stumbled forward and was about to reach for his gun, but I kicked it out of the way and knocked him to his knees. I let one hand grab his neck while the other one twisted the only arm he had.
Sara, Rip, and Green Arrow came running. Arrow held his bow up while Sara and Rip's eyes went wide. "Look what we have here," I sneered.
I brought the man's head up and Sara's mouth flew open. "Oliver?"
"Hello, Sara. Long time no see."
