Thea sighed her blanket clad body closed in on Roy holding the blanket up between their two bodies.
"You drive me crazy Roy Harper." Roy took that as a yes wrapping his arms around Thea, nuzzling his head into her soft neck leaving little pecks.
"Thank you." He muttered into her skin.
"I say we make our way down to the fire place and put some heat in this place." Thea suggested wrapping the blankets tighter around her body.
"I think we got all the heat we need right here." A smile slid onto Roy's face, holding his girlfriend closer to him never made Roy feel more in control and explosive at the same time.
"Sarah have you heard anything?" Oliver shouted coming down the stairs at the layer.
"Yea there was a new resident at the Serena Oka Hotel on the far side of town." Sarah recited tapping into the Hotels check in records. "Male checked in 7 days ago."
"That's 5 days before he showed up at the club, somethings not adding up here." Oliver sad sliding into his hood.
"Maybe he's been scouting, theres no telling how long he's been back."
"Or if he ever left." Felicity added.
Oliver almost hadn't noticed her sitting across the office, Felicity's blonde hair was up in a tight pony, sweat made her clothes stick to her shape. Oliver always looked to Felicity as a little sister and now that she's Trying to take on more than a desk job, it was fair to say he was worried about her.
"You wanna check it out?" Sarah asked Oliver her eyes lingered on Felicity.
"Let's go. Felicity?" Oliver called out to her already in motion.
"I'll track you from here." Felicity made her way to the computer desk, sweat towel over her shoulder.
It took a twenty-eight minute bike ride to reach the motel, one they reached it, it wall all down hill from there.
"I can not believe he got away AGAIN!" Oliver yelled slamming his bow down on the iron table.
"Oliver calm down. This isn't going to be a snatch and grab, we're talking about a guy who destroyed half a city." Sarah tried to coax Oliver into a better attitude.
His little sister means everything to Oliver and he's not going to stop till Thea is safe. No matter how dangerous and hours he needs to work.
"I need him taken care of so that i can get back to Slade. My family is not going to suffer because of me." Oliver was decided, no wiggle room.
"So i'm thinking we should stay in this bed and just never leave." Thea smiled giggling. Her leg and arm draped across Roy.
Roy's fingers lazily skimmed up and down Thea's naked arm. They'd been laying about all day only making trips to the kitchen in between the living room and bedroom.
"That can be arranged." Roy's voice was equally soft. The Mirakuru in his system seemed to be dormant for the time being.
Oliver had been hinting that a cure was possible, wither it's the Mirakuru talking or not Roy was having mixed feelings about if he really wanted to give all this up.
Thea snuggled in closer to Roy taking in his sent, he smelled like sex mixed with her body lotion.
"Look i'm really sorry about earlier-" Roy squeezed Thea's upper arm making her pause.
"Babe, don't sweat it." Roy kissed Thea's forehead pulling her tighter against him.
*ring ring*
"No, no, no, no." Thea groaned holding onto Roy tighter as he reached for his pants to fish his phone from his pocket.
Roy look to Thea "it'll be just a second i promise."
Climbing up from the bed Roy walked down to the kitchen before answering.
"This is a pretty nice cabin you got yourself there Roy." Roy's pulse raced as he heard Malcolm's slimy voice thought the phone.
Cell phone griped tight Roy bolted up stairs at inhuman speed throwing the bedroom door open. Thea was sitting in pj shorts and her favourite comfy sweater, brushing through her long hair.
"What's wrong?" Thea asked once she noticed Roy starring at her.
Roy froze for a second before composing himself "it's supposed to be a cold night tonight. I'm going to collect some fire wood from the shed."
Roy was fighting the adrenalin/Mirakuru rush in his system, taking deep breaths to calm himself.
"Oh ok, i'll come help-"
"No!" Roy quickly jumped in. "I mean, why don't you move those sexy legs of yours down to the kitchen and boil some water for hot chocolate."
Thea smiled hopping up from the bed, pecking Roy on the check as she made her way past him.
Roy moved swiftly outside dialing as he walked.
"Roy look this isn't a good time." Oliver sounded out of breath.
"Make time, Merlin called me-" You could hear the Oliver's pause on the other line. "He knows we're at the cabin."
"What?" Roy could basiclly see Oliver's expression and hear his jaw grind together.
"What do you want me to do?" Roy scrached the back of his head looking around to make sure no one was around, creeping in the woods.
"Where is Thea now?"
"She's in the house making hot chocolate." Roy took a second to deliberate what he was about to say "Maybe I should just tell her what's happaning. "
"You know you can't do that Roy."
"Maybe I'm done playing by your rules. It has been almost 2 days are you even close to finding Merlin or Slade for that matter?" Roy raised his voice.
"I am trying everything I can to keep my family safe, you are the only one Thea trusts right now. You blow that, you'll be pushing her over a very dangerious ledge."
"Roy! You chopping the trees yourself out here or what?" Thea called from the patio.
Her arms wrapped around herself to stay warm as the wind whipped against her.
"Just give me a sec." Roy waited for Thea to disappear before raising the phone back to his ear.
"Look Roy keep an eye out, any more signs of threat and you get my sister out of there."
Roy hung up shoving his phone into his back pocket, grabbing some logs before heading back to Thea.
.
"Who was that?" Sarah asked fixing her tank top.
"Roy, he said Malcolm Merlin knows their location." Oliver said his head hung.
It was like no matter what he does it's just never enough, he can't protect his family on his own.
Sarah came up behind Oliver, her hands sliding around his stomach "Do you want to go up there?" It was only a 2 hour ride on the bike.
"No, I trust Roy to protect Thea. We'll follow Felicity's lead and if we don't come up with anything before Tuesday than well go to the cabin."
"Whatever you want." Sarah kissed his back before moving away.
.
Roy and Thea had spent the rest of their day hanging around inside the cabin since it started to pour after nine, talking and laughing by the fire together. Though Roy pull off the mellow act he sure as hell was stirring inside, he was suddonly mad inside, mad that Oliver seemed to be taking his sweet ass time. If Roy were back in starling he'd have Malcom and Slad squrming in his grasp by now.
"Roy." Thea waved her hand in front of his face "you ok in there?"
Roy's eyes focused back on Thea her hair hung artisticly past her shoulders in soft ringlets and her brows frowned as she peared at him.
"You just thinking about you." Thea rolled her eyes blushing.
"YYea, yea, yea. Come on let's go for a walk." Thea grabbed Roy's hand trying to pull him up from the floor with her but he tensed.
Malcom maybe out in the woods waiting for them, a quick back and forth with himself until he decided a short walk around the perimeter would be ok. It would give Roy a chance to scope out the surrounding area.
"Let's go, we don't want to be out there when the sun goes down."
