Chapter 4: Visitors
He went back to training and strategy, having comms on with Dig as he made his was to the ARGUS building when suddenly they were no longer alone.

In an instant Oliver had spun around, arrow now aimed precisely at the intruder's Adam's apple. Roy taking cue and rushing across the room, still seeming to have a super speed that seemed more graceful than Felicity had ever seen before.
He crashed into Thea, pulling her into his arms as though he would never let go, whispering his apologies, his love, and his unwillingness to ever be separated from her again.
Malcolm took his eyes off Oliver just long enough to witness the mask fall from his daughters face, to see that this hooligan was the one person keeping her grounded, making her happy while the world literally fell apart around her. Eyes back to Oliver he lifted his hands in surrender, letting his bow hang over his shoulder as a sign of submission. "Oliver, you and I didn't agree on how to do it, but all either of us ever wanted was to save this city. Maybe my way was wrong, it certainly cost me everything," a slight tear seemed to pool just at the corner of his right eye as he thought a moment about his children- the son he is responsible for killing and the daughter that hates him so much she shot him point blank- "I can't change that now. I can't make it right. Without Tommy nothing can be right. But please, I just came here to protect her. Let me help, let me-"
"My father has been looking for you DARK ARCHER" Nyssa soft but powerful voice overpowered the room, drawing everyone's attention.
After a quick glance to Oliver, which seemed to speak volumes over the shock and silence in the room, Sara gently put her hand on Nyssa's elbow, forcing her to lower her bow, "now is not the time, there are much more pressing matters." The w his per was so gentle and soft that no one else could hear, but it seemed to calm Nyssa and she moved on quickly, diverting her attention from Malcolm to Oliver in an instant.
"What's the plan and where are these super soldiers congregating?"
As Oliver opened his mouth to speak he was cut off by Felicity, "the plan is to cure them, then stop them. And this is how you will be able to do it." She walked over to
Nyssa, showing her the cure arrow and explaining the specs of it.
"I always liked feisty blondes." She winked as she looked from Felicity to Sara and back to Felicity, reaching for the arrow. To her surprise, Felicity pulled back and instead handed her a practice arrow. Nyssa grabbed it and knocked it in the blink of an eye, gracefully hitting a tennis ball and driving it into the concrete behind Oliver before anyone else eve knew he had thrown the ball. "Yes, these will work nicely. How many do you have?"
"I have more to make, but by the time you leave here, you should all be able to take 5 or 6." The bubbly blonde was all business, quickly returning to her work with the serum, Sara readily joining her.
Just as Nyssa was about to speak again both Oliver and Felicity put a hand to their right ear, "You did what Dig?!"
Sara saw the look of horror on Felicity's face as well as the furrow of Oliver's brow, but the millisecond of a smirk that he couldn't hold back is what truly got Sara's attention as she quickly went to Felicity's case and grabbed 2 ear pieces out. She silently looked to Felicity and Oliver before they each gave a slight nod and she then hooked in her earpiece, tossing the other to Roy and going back to filling arrows, reminding herself of how much she truly did love being a part of this team. The look of confusion and understanding simultaneously coming from Nyssa was a bit unnerving, but made it easy for her to smile and get back to work.

AN- I know that was quick, but Dig is up next and we will have an ARGUS update
Again, I have no beta so all mistakes are mine.
