Zoom zap kaboom!
Thunder cracking the once peaceful skies sending the whole area into a frenzy. Raindrops trickling down the sky covering everything they touch.
A stormy night. A night like most others during this time of the season. But it would always be like this deep inside of another. Just like the wind is howling on this cold night like the swirling storm inside.
A storm that she has come one with inside. Letting the storm rage on. Letting her emotions dictate her actions. Letting them control her. Letting them consume her. As though it bother her to begin with anyways.
The very figure who now stalks through the rain after her prey as he slowly backpedals through the constantly expanding puddles. Puddles whose reflections told the entire story.
Told of a frightened man in his mid thirties cowering away in fear from a blonde haired hooded woman. A man whose once clean uniform now is now see torn and battered. The uniform representing a member of the Central City police force.
An officer that can feel blood forming inside of his mouth from a possible fractured jawline while his partner wasn't so lucky but instead be lying dead face first in a muddy puddle while their police cruisers sirens light up the area.
But the other reflection told a different story. Told of a strong individual stalking after its prey. Told of someone that you didn't want to meet in a dark alley.
Told of a woman in pain if you were to look close enough in her eyes. Pain that has been with her for seven long years. Seven of the longest years of her life.
Years filled with so much pain. Filled with so much sadness. Filled with so much anger and rage that could fuel anyone for a lifetime.
The very same rage and anger that can currently be seen in her green eyes. Eyes that once they lay their eyes upon another leave no chance of escape. Leave no chance of being given any mercy. Being given any sort of pity or remorse.
Rage and anger that has allowed her to make quick work of a police patrol in the matter of seconds. A feat not many could accomplish. Fewer without the need of a weapon. But she had. She had using her closed fists and vicious leg strikes that she has learned through the years.
And now? Now she was using them in her own way.
" Please?"
Coming to a complete stop over the downed police officer to where she is towering over him as she sees a pleading look coming from the man's eyes without breaking off eye contact the hooded woman slightly tilts her head to the side.
" Please? Show mercy."
Keeping his eyes on the hooded woman suddenly as he sees the woman turn and take a step away from him just as he lets out a breathe that he had been holding instantly the officer's eyes widen and his hands instantly come to grip her leg when he feels a heel crashing down into his throat.
" Mercy is for the weak."
Grinding her heel down into his throat further slowly as she feels the officer's grip loosening by the second until his hands fall limp to his side retracting her foot turning on her heels slowly the hooded woman walks over the remains and back towards the police cruiser.
Staring into the blazing sirens coming to a stop a short distance away reaching back slowly the hooded woman throws back her hood allowing her long blonde hair to flow down her drenched hoodie as rain instantly comes down pouring upon her.
A woman that could be easily recognized in another city. A woman that once was considered to have a promising future. Once considered to be the next big thing when it came to lawyers.
The cream of the crop of her family. At least that was what some had thought. A woman that once had gone by the name of Laurel Lance but now? Now she prefers to be called Black Siren.
Eyeballing the screaming sirens with a sense of annoyance cracking her neck slightly taking a deep breath instantly as she sends what she has named the canary cry directly at the cruiser causing a massive shock wave to strike against the side of the cruiser instantly bending it inward before suddenly the vehicle is sent flying through the air tumbling into the ground a few times before coming to a stop engulfed in flames.
Satisfied with her work making her way around the remains of the cruiser and down the road off from the bridge she is currently walking across and down onto a wide sidewalk walking in complete silence for what only seems like a few minutes as she comes down a familiar looking neighborhood in the heart of downtown Central City to see a new poster of the city's hero plastered across the walls of a few small time stores letting out a sigh slowly Siren shakes her head.
" What a boy scout."
Ripping a nearby poster off from the wall to only crumble the poster into a ball carelessly throwing the ball over her shoulder turning her head back forward slowly Siren makes her way back down the sidewalk tucking her hands into her hoodie's pockets before instantly as a flash coming from a nearby window catches her eye slowly she looks over to find a small television playing in a closed pawn shop displaying the news with a late breaking story across the screen.
Oliver Queen found alive….
Feeling her eyes going as wide as saucers rushing over towards the display window barely being able to hear the news anchors voice rearing back instantly Siren sends a closed fist through the window completely shattering the window upon impact before without any hesitation she grabs a hold of the dial and cranks up the volume.
In what is considered to be one of the most shocking events in recent memory. Just twenty four hours ago Oliver Queen the son of Robert Queen now deceased and Moira Queen was found my local fisherman off the coast of the North China Sea.
If you can remember just a mere two years ago Robert Queen billionaire and former CEO of Queen Consolidated had been found off the coast of the North China Sea and claimed that he had been the only survivor of a an boating accident that claimed the lives of every other member of his crew.
Again Oliver Queen, Starling City's own has been found alive. More on this late breaking story….
Feeling her eyes getting watery seeing an old picture of Oliver being displayed on a small box in the corner of the television screen reaching up gently Siren lays her hand down on the screen tracing his face with her fingers.
" Oliver?"
Beep….beep….beep
His companion on this stormy night. His comfort for the night. The constant beeping of the heart monitor nearby. A heart monitor attached to his arm along with countless other devices.
Most noticeably the oxygen mask that is strapped gently around his face. Devices that were instantly applied once he had arrived here. To some kind of hospital from what he could tell.
Maybe Starling City General? He couldn't be too sure. All of it seemed to real to be true. Seemed like this as the start of a wonderful dream that would quickly vanish away once he opened his eyes.
So they remained shut. They remained shut hoping to continue this dream. Hoping by some miracle this would one day become a reality. There was only just one thing missing.
The very same object of his desire. The very same woman that would star in his dreams every single night. The very same woman that can be seen smiling at him from a small worn out picture in his right hand.
A picture that would often give him the strength to carry on each and every time he thought about giving up. His most prized possession.
Hearing the silentist of squeaks coming from his hospital room door indicating a new arrival that he figured to be yet another passing doctor keeping his eyes firmly closed Oliver remains motionless on the bed except for the steady rising of his chest hoping that the doctor will do a quick examination than leave.
Unable to believe what she is seeing feeling her eyes burning up with unshed tears slowly approaching the hospital bed coming to a stop by the bed's side looking down towards his face unable to hold them back any longer as a lone tear escapes her eyes reaching out gently Siren lays her hand down on his cheek.
" Ollie?"
Instantly snapping his eyes opening seeing a pair of familaur green eyes staring into his own feeling his eyes getting watery suddenly without having a chance to react Oliver feels the oxygen mask being ripped off from his face to only be replaced with a pair of lips.
Lips that he often dreamed about tasting savoring every single moment. Savoring every single moment he had spent with her.
" Laurel?"
Gently cupping his cheeks staring into his eyes nodding her head leaning down gently Siren pulls Oliver into an embrace feeling him returning it with equal intensity as she feels her shoulder slowly starting to get wet.
" Shhh it's okay. Everything's going to be okay. I'm here now."
Feeling his grip around her waist tightening leaning up gently Siren kisses the top of Oliver's head before she returns her head back down to his shoulder.
" Please don't leave me. I can't lose you again. Not again."
Blinking away the burning sensation in her eyes moving her hands gently up to cup his head leaning down gently Siren presses her lips back to Oliver's own.
" I'm not going anywhere. Never again."
Hearing voices approaching from behind turning her attention to look over her shoulder as she sees a doctor looking down towards his chart approaching the room quickly Siren snaps her head to look back towards Oliver.
" We don't have much time."
Seeing a look of confusion coming across his face as he looks over her shoulder gently Siren rubs Oliver's cheek with her thumb feeling him leaning into her touch.
" Much has changed while you have been away. Too much for me to explain to you now. Right now i need you to trust me. Can you do that?"
Without any hesitation nodding his head reaching up gently Oliver lays a hand on top of her own holding her hand to his cheek.
" I'll always trust you pretty bird."
Feeling her lips curling upright leaning up gently Siren pecks Oliver on the lips before she pulls back to glance out the room.
" Pretty bird huh? I like that."
Retracting her hand without any hesitation instantly Siren moves over to the side of the room hiding in the shadows before moments later the hospital door is opened the rest of the way by a middle aged doctor who looks up from his chart and over towards Oliver seeing the young man in question staring at him.
Cautiously approaching the hospital bed seeing his patient staring at him with unmoving eyes taking a quick glance at the heart monitor finding everything still functioning turning his attention down towards his chart reaching down the doctor makes a few notes on his chart before after a few seconds as he feels the hairs on the back of his neck sticking up as though he is being watched slowly the doctor turns his head.
Instantly without giving the man a chance to react rearing back Siren sends a vicious high kick that lands clean against the doctor's head sending the man flying into a medical table sending its contents scattering across the ground including the heart monitor causing the beeping from the machine to flatline.
" We have to go. Now."
Hearing the flatline knowing what is going to be approaching in a matter of moments racing over towards the hospital bed reaching out Siren rips off every single piece of medical equipment that she sees attached to Oliver seeing him doing his best to help her before as she hears the sound of many footsteps approaching snapping her body around instantly Siren turns her attention to look towards the open doorway to see a group of doctors and nurses quickly approaching the room followed by a small group of people a short distance behind them that instantly makes her blood boil.
A woman that she has despised for years. A woman that she wished she would never have to lay her eyes upon again unless it was to piss on her grave.
Reaching out blindly feeling the intended target in her hand gently as she gives his hand a squeeze to return one in return Siren glances over towards Oliver.
" Stay behind me."
Receiving a nod in response out of the corner of her eye feeling his hand leaving her own as she watches the group of doctors and nurses followed by a few arriving members of security slowly approaching without giving them a chance to react rearing back instantly Siren sends a massive canary cry that sends the whole entire group flying back scattering them across the hospital floor along with pieces of the open doorway before instantly she takes off into a run through the wide open space.
Sliding across the floor rearing back Siren sends a vicious clothesline across the neck of a sitting up security guard causing his world to go black before without breaking her momentum snapping up to a kneeling position leaping up she delivers a high knee to an nearby doctor that lands clean against his chin sending him back first into a nearby wall.
Feeling a hand on her shoulder quickly shrugging off the hand spinning around to deliver a vicious elbow that lands clean against her attacker sending the security guard back first to the ground below with a thud snapping around instantly Siren sends a kick that lands clean against a nearby doctor causing him to spin around in mid air and land face first on the ground.
Seeing nobody else upright racing back into the hospital room ignoring the complete look of shock across Oliver's face grabbing a hold of his hand with a tug Siren races out of the hospital room pulling him with her before they disappear behind the corner.
