Many thanks to my beta Zutarashipper =)


Zytle walked over to Oliver, he circled the chair bound man. Eventually he grabbed the younger man's hood and pulled it back, revealing his face.

Thea stared in amazement at her brother, "Ollie, how?"

"I'll tell you later," Oliver said, looking at his sister.

Thea turned her attention to the man standing next to her brother. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because, your brother is a real pain in the ass. He has messed up my business, "Zytle said angrily. He walked to Thea and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Don't touch her!" Oliver yelled.

Zytle ignored Oliver. He leaned Thea's side and said, "Your brother needs to be punished."

The young woman trembled and she looked at his brother worried. Thea knew that something terrible was happening. Zytle's words couldn't mean anything good. He walked toward Oliver and drew a taser from his pocket. Oliver looked at him with a defiant expression on his face.

"Tell me, where is your irritating team?"

"I will not tell you anything," Oliver said.

Zytle smiled and pressed the stun-gun to Oliver's chest. Thea saw her brother struggling against pain. His muscles were strained against the ropes. Oliver hissed, but did not scream. Zytle removed stun-gun from the Oliver's chest, asking: "Where are they?"

Oliver spat on the floor and said angrily: "I won't tell."

Zytle pressed the taser again to Oliver's chest. The younger man groaned in pain, his jaw muscles were tense. Oliver struggled, so as not to let a sound, he did not want to give Zytle any satisfaction from his torture.

Thea clearly saw her brother in pain. "Stop", she begged. It was difficult for Thea to look at Oliver's suffering. Zytle turned to the young woman's direction, leaving Oliver for a moment of peace.

"This is just the beginning," he said, smiling to himself.

Thea looked Zytle with wide eyes when she realized that she would have to see her brother being tortured. The idea was terrifying to Thea. She didn't understand how someone could be so cruel.

Oliver breathed heavily, tied to the chair. He tried to hide his pain from his sister. He felt bad that Thea had to see him in such a situation. Zytle put the stun-gun on a table and picked up a knife. The man circled around Oliver, rotating the knife in his hand. Oliver looked at his sister and smiled at her encouragingly. He would do everything possible to protect Thea. No matter what happens.

Zytle stopped beside Oliver. The younger man looked him in the eye with confidence. Zytle laughed derisively and took the knife to Oliver's side and slowly made deep cuts. Oliver grimaced in pain as he felt the warm blood running down his side. Thea looked at her brother with tears in her eyes. Zytle got a better grip on the knife and stabed knife all the way to the hilt of the blade into Oliver's side. The young man groaned in pain. Zytel pulls the knife out, Oliver drooped over as much as the ropes let him. Thea saw her brother's breathing change to being unstable. Drops of blood began to form into a pool beside the chair.

"No!" Thea cried concerned.

Oliver raised his head slightly and looked at his sister. He tried to calm his breathing.

Zytle put the knife back on the table and grabbed a glass container containing green liquid. The man called his employee to him and motioned to Oliver, "Hold his head." He said.

An employee grabbed the younger man's head and forced him to tilt his head back. Zytle stepped forward to Oliver. He grabbed Oliver's nose, cutting off his oxygen so as to force him to open his mouth. Oliver held his breath as long as he could, but in the end he had to gasp for air through his mouth. In the same moment Zytle poured the green liquid Oliver's mouth. Oliver was forced to swallow the bitter-tasting liquid, so that he could breathe. Thea heard her brother making choking sounds.

After swallowing the liquid Oliver drew a loud breath into lungs and began coughing violently. He guessed what Zytle had given him. It did not take many minutes for him to feel the effect of Vertigo in his body. His vision became unclear. Thea watched her brother struggle with drug side effects. She saw sweat droplets running his brother's forehead.

Zytle walked over to the table and he took a small bottle of clear liquid and put it into a syringe. Then he turned to Oliver's side. "This mix I made for you", Zytle smirked. He walked in front of Oliver and pushed the syringe into his chest. Oliver grimaced and groaned in pain between his teeth. Zytle pulled out a syringe and moved aside to watch the man's struggle. Thea looked at her brother worried.

Each moment Oliver felt a severe pain in different parts of his body. His muscles strained against the ropes. He tried not to scream. Oliver squeezed his eyes shut and breathed in pain between his teeth.

"Oliver ?!" Thea shouted worried about what she saw happening to her brother. She turned to look at Zytle. "What did you give him?"

"A small sample. He won't get in my way in at least two days if he's lucky." The man smiled. "Maybe never again"

Thea turned to see her brother again, she saw in Oliver's face that he was in great pain. His breathing had become shallow and labored. Oliver felt spastic muscles painfully and a cry escaped his mouth. Thea looked at her brother with tears in her eyes. Zytle walked Oliver's side and kicked the man in the chair over the floor. Then he kicked Oliver in the stomach a few times. Oliver groaned on the floor defenseless.

"Stop!" Thea cried.

Zytle glanced at the woman. "What you can do to stop me?" He said and kicked Oliver again. Unexpectedly chair hit him on the back. After recovering from the attack Zytle looked Thea, who had taken her brother's bow and draw it.

"How?" Zytle asked in amazement.

Thea did not answer the question, she looked at the man angrily. "Leave my brother alone!"

"What if I do not?"

"I'll kill you." Thea said angrily.

"The Arrow does not kill any more."

"I am not the Arrow," Thea said, and released the arrow.

She didn't see any other option to protect Oliver. Zytle fell on the floor arrow in his chest.

Thea grabbed a knife from the table and ran to his brother side. She cut the ropes loose. "Oliver?" Thea asked, examining her brother. Oliver looked at her with a pained expression on his face.

Thea helped him to stand up and supported him. "We have to get out of here."
