Ahhhhhhhh! Cliffhanger, are you all ready for the reveal? I hope so, here it comes...


"Thea?" Oliver breathed out slowly, " what are you doing here?" he asked, getting a little more serious.

"убийцы, атака!" Thea yelled. Since when could she speak Russian? Ha, maybe since she was living with Malcolm Merlyn in Corto Maltese!

Oliver couldn't believe his eyes! His little sister was a murderer, not to mention, her real father is a murderer and her brother is a murderer too. Wow, she didn't have the best upbringing! Felicity went limp in his arms, and only then did Oliver realize the cut marks on her arms and lower parts of her legs.

'Did they torture her?' Oliver thought to himself. To Oliver's relief, he could also speak Russian and under stood exactly what Thea had said; assassins, attack! Maybe the assassins were Russian, or only took their commands in Russian so no one else could tell them to do something, cleaver Malcolm.

Oliver was surprised to see that the assassins didn't attack him, but went around him and Felicity and attacked the assassins coming towards Oliver, weapons drawn. Thea came closer to Oliver and watched helplessly as Felicity completely passed out and Oliver scooped her up in his huge, strong arms, "Follow me," she started and the look on Oliver's face told her that he didn't trust her, "I'm the only other one who knows the secret exits in the building, I built it with my father."

Oliver still didn't trust his baby sister, but reluctantly followed. Soon, they reached a huge wooden door which from the outside, looked like a brick wall. Maybe it wasn't 'cleaver Malcolm', maybe it was 'cleaver Thea'. Thea held the big door open for her older brother to carry Felicity through. Then, after she was outside too, she shut the door and put what looked like a... bomb lock on.

Thea smiled when she caught Oliver staring at it, "My own invention. There is a fake key! It locks the door, but when the wrong key is placed inside it to unlock it, it blows up and kills everyone within about 25 meters. Pretty cool, huh?"

Oliver was stunned. He had never seen anything like it before. He smiled back at her, remembering that his 'Arrow' voice-thingy was still on, "Yeah, I agree. It's pretty cool. We need to get this woman to a hospital, quick!" he said in his deep voice.

Thea smirked a dangerous smirk, "Ollie, I know it's you. Take off the hood and the voice thing. Please!?" she begged.

"Not the hood," Oliver said, "but I'll turn off the voice alter-er thingy. And since when did you know that I was..."

"The Arrow?" Thea interrupted, "Not very long. Dad told me about it a few months ago, that was after he taught me how to hack. Everything I know, he taught me. How to fight, how to survive, how to hack, how to-sad to say, how to kill."

Oliver froze, "How to kill? But who taught you how to talk or walk? Who taught you how to read or write, huh? Who taught you the good decisions from the bad? Who stayed up late to help you with your homework so you could pass a test, hmm? Who did all that? Did Malcolm do anything with you in your childhood? What did he do for your brother. You know that Malcolm abandoned him after Rebbeca, Malcolm's wife, Tommy's mother, died. Did he even try to save Tommy's life during the Undertaking?"

The color drained from Thea's face, "Now that is a card that you do not get to play! And by the way," she paused, "your father taught me, not my father." Thea was almost at the point of yelling at Oliver.

Felicity started to stir in Oliver's arms. She spoke, "Oliver?" she called out, voice hoarse from dis-use, "Oliver, where are you!?" she called out again, getting a little worried when he didn't respond the first time.

"Shhhhhhh." he cooed in her ear, "You're going to be okay, I'm here! I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry, it's all okay."

Thea smiled at the boy-turned-man in front of her. The Oliver Queen that was lost for five years is not the Oliver Queen that lives to tell the take of Lian Yu.

"We need to hurry, Thea." Oliver looked down at the woman in his arms, then looked back up at his sister, "Did you do this to her?" he asked, voice getting seriously dangerous.

Thea looked at Felicity, speechless. Then she looked back up at Oliver sheepishly and said, "I had nothing to do with it!"

Oliver glared at Thea, "But you were there when it happened?" He waited for an answer and Thea just looked down at Felicity's pale body and nodded, Oliver kept talking, "Digg, you there?" he tapped his ear to activate his ear-piece, "Diggle?"

Oliver slightly smiled when John replied, "Oliver, what is it!?" he asked frantically, "Are you hurt, is it Roy?"

"No," Oliver said, "It's Felicity. I found her..." He didn't get to finish explaining what was going on when someone, not Digg, spoke over the comm.

"Wait," she started, "What do you mean when you say 'I'? Didn't you and Arsenal go in together? Where is he?"

Oliver froze, "Lyla? Is that you?"

Even though Oliver couldn't see them, he knew John would lie, "N-no!" he stuttered, "No, she's not here! It's, um, it's only... Laurel. Yeah, Laurel, that sounds believable, doesn't it?"

Oliver would have smiled at Diggle's terrible lying, if he wasn't still holding Felicity, "Hey, Lyla. Can you please tell John that we are coming back now. And by the way, Arsenal and I went different ways to find Felicity quicker. I haven't seen him since!"

"Roy!?" Digg called out in the comm.

There was a silence for a few minutes and that got them all worried. As Oliver continued to carry Felicity down the dark, damp hallway, Thea stopped, "What is it?" Oliver asked her. She just shook her head and pointed forwards for them to keep moving. Oliver looked a little annoyed at Thea, and stopped her this time, "Thea," she looked in his direction, "Follow me, I want to take you somewhere... special!"

"Okay..." Thea said slowly, "Where?"

"You'll see, soon." Oliver stated as he gently placed Felicity down on the ground to rest a little.

"Are you okay?" He asked gently.

Felicity opened her eyes slowly, "You know, when you feel like this, you need a pint of mint chocolate ice-cream."

Oliver smiled at her need to always be positive, "I'll call Digg and ask him if there was any in the fridge in Verdant!" She smiled and fell back asleep.

"What?" Oliver asked as he caught Thea staring.

She smiled, "Nothing, you're just lucky to have someone like that."

"Like what?"

"Kind, funny, she cares about you, ya know!?" Thea said.

"I'm not sure about that last bit, Thea." Oliver stated.

"But you care about her?" It was said as a question, but it meant more as a statement. Thea looked Oliver right in the eye, "Ollie, you're crazy to think that I know who you don't care about. You really care about her, and if I'm correct, you love her!"

Oliver scoffed, unable to think of anything better to do. He scoffed once more and then took a deep breathe in, "I am... sooooo... Um, not in love with her. I mean, she is nice and all, and she is really hot, I mean not hot hot, like..." He sighed in defeat, "Is it really that obvious?"

Thea smiled, "Yup!" Her grin just grew bigger, "you should ask her out."

Oliver started to laugh, "Ha, last time I did that, our date ended with a 'bang', literally!"

Thea loved her brother and told him everything. She was surprised to hear this brand new information, "You've already asked her out!?" She almost yelled, "why didn't I find out sooner? At least let me help plan you wedding!"

"Okay, I think you are getting a little bit ahead of yourself now. Just a little bit!" He held up his index finger and thumb to show her how much he meant.

At the point in time, the assassins that were trying to attack Oliver and Felicity before, came around a corner and saw the three of them resting while leaning against the dirty walls of the tunnel, "Crap!" The exclaimed, "we need to move, now!"

"Why?" Oliver asked, "who are they after?"

"Her," Thea said, pointing to Felicity, "I knew she was working with you and I tried to save her. They captured her, not Malcolm, not me. We were trying to help her. That's why I was there when they tortured her."

"Why would they torture her!?" Oliver asked as he grabbed an arrow from his quiver.

Thea grabbed one of her swords do began to fight. While fighting, she explained to Oliver, who was also fighting, "They want to find you."

"And what? What do they want with me?" Oliver shouted.

"They want to kill you!" Thea almost couldn't get the words out. Just the thought of losing her brother was enough to motivate her into her fight and be quicker than the opposing team of assassins.


Roy woke slowly to the sound of slight beeping. 'Where am I?' he thought to himself. He opened his eyes wider and took in his surroundings. A girl who looked a little younger than him stood in the doorway. She looked about 18 and was really familiar, although, Roy knew he hadn't seen her since before Sara died.

"Hey Harper, glade to see your still alive." the girl said.

Roy looked at her, shocked. He had so many questions but only one word could escape his lips, "Sin?"
