《Specter of Oliver Queen》Chapter 10
Advertisement
The next morning the group was back in the room to watch what year three had in store for Oliver. The first thing that happened was they could see that Oliver was running. He got to a payphone and dialed his home number and got the answering machine.
"Mom, it's me Oliver. I am alive and I am in Hong Kong. I need you too put the news out that I am alive." Oliver said as he was being shot at, so he had to run.
"I never got that message. I wonder what happened to it." Moira said.
Oliver continued to run until one of the men cut him off and then knocked him out. When Oliver came to, he was in front of Waller who did not looked too pleased to hear that Oliver was trying to run again.
"Mr. Queen, I thought we had come to an understanding. I will just have to give you some incentive. If you run again, I will have your mother, or your sister killed." Waller said.
"My mother is to high profile of a target. That would just bring up things that your organization wouldn't want to deal with." Oliver said.
"True, but no one would think twice about your sister. It appears that she has a drug problem. It will be no problem to kill her and make it look like a drug overdose." Waller said.
"Ok, I will do what you want." Oliver said.
"Very good Mr. Queen now go, and I will send for you when I have something for you." Waller said.
"I am going to kill that bitch when I get home." Sara said.
"No Sara that is not who you are." Laurel said.
"Unfortunately, that is who I am Laurel and you will see that soon enough." Sara said.
"It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for her to die. Her replacement would be a better ally for the team." Conner said.
"And who might that be?" Diggle asked.
"I am glad you asked Dig, because you know her very well. I believe she is your ex-wife. Lyla Michaels." Mia said.

"Wow, Lyla is that high up in ARGUS?" Diggle asked.
"Yes, she is." Conner said.
"You need to do what she says. She will not hesitate to do what she just said." Maseo said.
"I can't Maseo, I need to get home." Oliver said.
The next day it looks like Oliver is running again. This time he gets into a café and gets to a computer and logs into his email. He is then caught again.
"Mr. Queen I thought we had an agreement." Waller said.
"You have to let me go now. My mom got my message that I left yesterday, and someone will see that I logged into my email account today. They will come for me." Oliver said.
"Sorry to disappoint, but we deleted the message to your mother as soon as you sent it and I don't think anyone will come here for you." Waller said.
"You would be surprised. I have some loyal friends." Oliver said.
"That might be true, but we can take care of that. Anyways, since your family is not sufficient enough to keep you from running, I will make another deal with you. You do what I say, and I will not kill Maseo's family." Waller said.
"Fine, what do you want?" Oliver asked.
"You will live with Maseo and his family and I will have your first mission tonight." Waller said and Oliver nodded and left with Maseo.
"I went to Hong Kong because he checked that email. Someone threatened to kill me and said that they were just trying to get money." Tommy said.
"I guess we will find out what really happened soon." Diggle said and everyone nodded.
When they got to Maseo's home everyone could tell that Maseo's wife didn't like Oliver.
"Why is he here?" Tatsu said.
"I am his handler, and he has nowhere else to stay." Maseo said.
"I won't do everything for him. He will have to wash his own clothes." Tatsu said.
Later that night Waller sent for Oliver and he was brought to a building and shown into a room where Waller was. There was also a man tied to a chair.

"So, what is it that you need me to do?" Oliver asked.
"There is a bomb planted somewhere in the city and this man is part of the organization that planted it. I need you to get that information for me." Waller said.
"And how do you expect me to do that?" Oliver asked.
A man came in with a bag and unzipped it. It looked like his bow and arrows from the island.
"You have a very unique skill Mr. Queen. I am sure you will find a way to get the information that we need." Waller said.
"You want me to torture him?" Oliver asked.
"If that is what is needed, yes." Waller said and she left Oliver to do what he had to do.
Oliver was not able to do what Waller wanted him to. He tried to reason with the man and that did not work. The next thing Oliver knows, there is an explosion from a nearby building.
Waller walked back in and said, "Mr. Queen, you did not do what I needed you to do. The good thing is that you will have another chance soon enough. Go home now and we will get you again when we need you." Waller said and walked out of the room.
The next day Waller had Oliver and Maseo picked up and taken to a building where they were to take out someone who was causing trouble for ARGUS. Maseo handed Oliver a sniper rifle and told him that his target was arriving in five minutes. Oliver got ready to take the shot as the car pulled up. He looked through the scope and was shocked at what he saw.
"That is my best friend. I am not going to kill him." Oliver said.
"You don't have a choice. If you don't Waller will kill my family." Maseo said.
"I am not going to do this. There has to be another way." Oliver said.
"I think I might know of something that might work." Maseo said.
"Ok, let's do that then." Oliver said as he put the rifle away.
"Well, thank God he didn't shoot me." Tommy said.
"Yeah, that would have been bad." Thea said.
Later that day Tommy was out walking around Hong Kong looking for any trace of Oliver. He was then taken out from behind and taken to a building and tied to a chair.
"What do you want from me? I am just here looking for my friend." Tommy said.
"You are here looking for Oliver Queen. I was hoping for one of his family members." The man said from the shadows.
"Yeah, he checked into his email from somewhere in this city, so I am here to find him." Tommy said.
"Oliver didn't check into his email. I did, so that I could get money in order to let whoever came looking for him go." The man said.
"Please, I will pay you whatever you want, just don't kill me." Tommy said.
"I am not interested in your money Mr. Merlyn." The man said as he stepped out of the shadows but was still behind Tommy so that he could not see him. It was Oliver.
The next thing they know sirens started to sound from police cars that were close by. Oliver took off running and a policeman busted into the run.
"You are safe now. Let's get you out of here." The policeman said. Everyone could now see that the policeman was Maseo.
"Huh, so it was Oliver all along?" Tommy asked.
"Looks like you owe him one." Laurel said.
"Yeah, I do. I always wondered what really went on there?" Tommy said.
"I got to say, it was kind of funny hearing you beg for your life." Thea said and everyone laughed with her.
"Now that I look back on it and see that I was not in danger, it does sound kind of funny." Tommy said laughing as well.
"Ok. Let's get back to the video. This trip to Hong Kong looks like it might be getting interesting." Quentin said.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
