After stopping the Triad, though Chien Na Wei had escaped thanks to an untimely arrival of the SCPD, Oliver, Laurel and John all came down to the foundry, or rather, Oliver and Laurel were carrying John down, since he'd gotten pretty banged up in the fight.
"Sara, are you ready?" Oliver asked and Sara nodded as they put Dig down on the medical table.
"Let me do my thing." Sara said as she went into doctor mode.
"You're lucky to be alive John. A few feet higher and I'd amputating your arm right now." Sara said as she finished patching up Dig's arm.
"What's the diagnosis?" John asked.
"2 weeks of recovery and then if you insist on continuing to join Oliver and Laurel in field, you're gonna have to get something that provides actual protection." Sara said.
"What, I have to get a superhero costume?" John asked.
"Might not be the worst idea John. After all, you still your sister-in-law, your nephew and your parents to worry about. Part of the reason Laurel and I wear masks are to keep our identities, and by extension, are families, safe." Oliver said.
"I'll think about it." John said as Tommy joined them.
"Tommy, what are you doing down here?" Oliver asked.
"I was getting worried. I've texted Sara at least 10 times with no response, so I wanted to make sure everything was okay." Tommy said.
"I appreciate that Tommy, but I'm fine, I just ended up having to treat John here." Sara said.
"Oh, okay." Tommy said as he went back up, looking slightly put out.
"I'll go talk to him." Oliver said as he followed Tommy.
"Tommy, you okay?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, it's just, I feel like I don't contribute to the team." Tommy said.
"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.
"Come on Ollie, let's face it. I'm the only who has no real role it. You're the leader, Laurel's the hacker and second-in-command, John's the tactical support, you, him, Laurel and Thea are all field support, Laurel and Thea are superpowered heavy hitters and Sara's the medic. I don't serve a role to this team at all." Tommy said.
"Maybe that just means you haven't found it yet." Oliver said.
"Speaking of Thea, where is she?" Tommy asked, since neither of them had seen her since the visit to Iron Heights.
"I don't know, but she's a big girl with superpowers. She can handle herself." Oliver said with a smile and Tommy nodded in agreement.
"Well that was fun." Thea said as she pulled the sheets up to cover her chest as sat up in the bed and looked at the person lying next to her.
"Yeah, honestly, this was one hell of a way to tell me you were awake." Roy Harper said with a chuckle.
"Well, I figured we needed to make up for lost time." Thea said to her secret boyfriend.
"On that topic, when are you going to tell your brother about us? I mean after all, if it weren't for him, we never would've met." Roy asked.
"I will tell him soon, I promise, it's just now's not really the right time, especially with my mom's trial coming up." Thea said.
"Thea, I love you, but I can't keep doing this. I don't want to have to keep sneaking around. I want to be able to walk down the street and actually be able to put my arm around your shoulders. I hate all this sneaking around." Roy said.
"Roy, what are you saying?" Thea asked.
"What I'm saying is that either you need to tell your brother about us or there is no more us." Roy said.
"Roy, you know how I feel about you." Thea said.
"Yeah, I do. But the problem is that I'm the only one who does." Roy said.
"So, if I don't tell Ollie, we're done?" Thea asked.
"Yeah, that's exactly right Thea." Roy said as he got off the bed.
"Hey, look who decided to show up?" Oliver said to Thea.
"Yeah, sorry, I've been distracted." Thea said.
"What, you have a date or something?" Oliver asked.
Before Thea could answer, a newscast came on.
"Not him again." Oliver said about the madman on the tv.
"Who is that guy?" Thea asked, since she'd been absent lately.
"That's our latest nutjob. He's a gangbanger who likes to kill other gangbangers and calls it justice. He's like me and Laurel, minus restraint and a code of honor. He calls himself, the Savior." Oliver said.
"Something tells me that is not a Cisco approved nickname." Thea said, mocking their friend's tendency to give the bad guys nicknames and Oliver chuckled.
"No it is not. But all joking aside, we need to stop him." Oliver said as the video continued and Thea gasped in horror and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Meet Roy Harper. Arrests, larceny, robbery, aggravated assault. Yet you're out on the street. Another gangbanger in the Glades running free like the ones who killed my wife. I grew up in the Glades too, and it didn't turn me into a criminal." the Savior said.
"Thea, what's with the look. I know you and Roy are friends, but?" Oliver said.
"Ollie, he's not just my friend, he's my boyfriend, we've sneaking around behind your back." Thea said.
"I knew you were keeping a secret boyfriend, I just didn't know who it was." Oliver said with a smile.
"You're not mad?" Thea asked.
"Thea, I don't think that anyone in this family has a right to be mad at anyone for keeping secrets. But, I have to ask, why Roy?" Oliver asked.
"I could ask Laurel the same question about you." Thea countered.
"Fair point, but don't worry, we'll find him." Oliver said.
"Not without me you're not." Thea said.
"Thea, you're not ready." Oliver said.
"Do I look like I give a damn. I'm going, whether you like it or not." Thea said.
Oliver looked at her and could that she wasn't kidding.
"You don't have a costume." Oliver said.
"Who said I needed one." Thea asked as she closed her eyes and concentrated and suddenly, her body was covered in a huge splash of water, which, when it receded, Thea's outfit had changed to an aqua blue, female version of Oliver's suit, complete with a blue hood and mask.
"How did you?" Oliver asked.
"The one really impressive trick I managed to work out with Cisco. It's complicated, but since water is the only complex substance that can change states of matter between solids and liquids, so I can do the same thing, not just to my body, but to an extent, things I touch. Cisco actually began creating this suit when he did yours, since Dr. Wells had a suspicion and I made a few improvements and after doing something that I do not understand at all, now I can summon this suit at will via water vapor." Thea said.
"Handy. Come on, let's go save your boyfriend so I can beat the crap out of him." Oliver said and Thea rolled her eyes as they headed down to the foundry.
