Argus safe house Starling City, next day

Morning

Waller stepped in front of a holographic screen, China White's picture on it. She turned to face Oliver, Sara, Maseo, and the rest of her operatives.

"China White touched ground in Starling twenty-four hours ago. We're still trying to determine how she made it into the country but we believe she's here to auction of the Omega bioweapon to the highest bidder." Waller explained as the screen changed to White getting into a car with two men.

"The Omega is inert without its counterpart. Who's gonna pay for a useless super virus?" Maseo inquired.

"Rogue nations, terrorist groups who believe they can replicate the component on their own." Waller pointed out.

"Why does she have to sell it here?" Oliver asked curiously.

"There's a corporate executive in town," Waller said as she changed the picture to a middle aged man and Oliver stood up stunned, "a man on The Triad's payroll. He's committed several acts of industrial espionage for them over the years. His name is Peter Kang."

"Yeah I know him," Oliver said as he walked forward with Maseo giving him a surprised look, "he works at my family's company. He came over to my house for Christmas."

"And that Mr. Queen is why you, your girlfriend, and Mr. Yamashiro are still breathing. China White chose the one place on Earth that ensures that your continued breathing is still of use. But have no illusions: if you attempt to compromise the mission by contacting anyone in Starling City, I will remove the three of you from the equation. As well as anyone else who knows that Oliver Queen and Sara Lance are still alive. Do you understand?" Waller hissed as she moved her gaze from Oliver to Sara.

"Yes." Sara sneered as Oliver nodded briskly.

Starling City, in front of Queen Consolidated

Later in the morning

Oliver, Sara, and Maseo watched from a car as Kang exited his own. They had followed him here after Maseo had placed a tracer on the bottom of Kang's car.

"Kang's headed inside." Oliver monitored.

"Argus has detected bursts of date emanating from Kang's office computer. But it's protected by SHACAL-4 encryption." Sara explained.

"Yeah, let's pretend I don't know what that means." Oliver said dryly.

"It means that she can't hack into Kang's computer. You'll need to get directly onto the Queen Consolidated network." Maseo explained for him.

"Waller was very clear what would happen to me if anyone found out I was still alive. And while Sara is less recognizable, if on the off chance someone doesn't recognize her, it will certainly look suspicious to have a women, very obviously pregnant, no one recognizes stroll through the building." Oliver snarked.

"You will go in at night. I don't have time to familiarize myself with the office work plans." Maseo told him.

Oliver flashed him a tight smile before looking out the window. Oliver froze for a moment before straightening up in his seat. He saw her. She was older, looking a little less like a child and a little more like a young women, but he would know her anywhere.

"Oh my god." Oliver breathed

Maseo and Sara followed his gaze. Like Oliver, it only took a moment for Sara to recognize Thea. Sara swallowed the lump in her throat as she saw the young girl who, last time she had seen her, had been begging Sara to play dress up with her.

"Who is that?" Maseo asked.

"That's my sister." Oliver said softly.

After a moment, they saw Thea get into a car with a man who Oliver and Sara vaguely remembered as working for The Queens. At Oliver's pleading look, Maseo nodded before putting the car in drive and following after them.

Starling City, Queen burial grounds

Afternoon

"Last time I saw here, she was in pig tails." Oliver said wistfully as he, Sara-both with capes on to disguise themselves- and Maseo watched Sara walk into the woods, "where is she going?"

They trio walked into the woods and went to an area that was far enough away that Thea couldn't see them, but close enough so that they could hear her. Thea walked over to two headstones, both right next to each other.

"Hi Dad, hi Ollie. Went to the office today, saw mom talking to Walter. I think something's happening there but I don't know." Thea said as a guy walked up right behind her.

"Queenie." He said and Thea turned around to face him.

"Your sister's boyfriend?" Maseo inquired.

"I don't know." Oliver said as the three of them watched the scene playing out.

"You got my delivery?" Thea asked.

"Depends. You got any of your inheritance?" The guy asked and Thea pulled out some cash.

"What the hell is this?!" an angry voice demanded as everyone turned to see Tommy making his way over.

"What are you doing here Tommy?" Thea asked.

"I was about to ask Jordon the same thing." Tommy said as he walked over to the man.

"Just paying the family my respect." Jordon lied.

"And so you did. Now you're gonna stay away from her. Permanently." Tommy said the undertones of a threat in his voice.

"Whatever." Jordon scoffed before walking off.

"You," Tommy sneered as he turned back to Thea and Oliver and Sara were pleased with the fury in his eyes, "should be bringing flowers here, not looking to score drugs!"

"What are you even doing here Tommy?" Thea asked exasperated.

"I came here to thank you for my birthday card," Tommy said before softening slightly, "I also came here to tell you that my party tonight is twenty-one and over."

"Well, we both know that's not true." Thea said with a smirk.

"It is when it applies to you. You shouldn't try to grow up to fast Speedy." Tommy said with a brotherly smile.

"Well you're not my brother." Thea scoffed.

"No, but I still think about him every day and for the first time, I'm glad he's gone. Seeing you like this would break his heart." Tommy said and Thea scoffed.

"It's funny, Ollie seems to care more about me when's dead than when he was alive." Thea sneered as she stormed off.

The pained look was mirrored on both Tommy and Oliver's faces. Sara put a hand on his shoulder in a manner that she hoped offered him some comfort. After Tommy walked off, the three walked out of the woods and back to the car.

"I can imagine how…difficult that was for you to see, but are you ready for tonight?" Maseo asked Oliver as he put the car in drive.

"Yeah…I'm ready to end this thing so I can figure out a way to get out from Waller's thumb and go back home." Oliver said as a steely glint entered his eyes.

Queen Consolidated

Night

Oliver jumped down onto the floor and stood up. As he walked over to the computer on the desk, he looked around. The office was exactly like it was the last time Oliver had walked in almost three years ago. Same pictures, same decorations on the wall, the only difference was a picture of his father on the wall.

"Are you in position?" Maseo asked over the comms unit in Oliver's ear.

"Yeah." Oliver said as he activated the communications.

"The Computers are protected by a biometric encryption. Look for a fingerprint reader." Sara advised.

"Okay but why wouldn't they take me out of the directory?" Oliver asked.

"Why would they? You're dead." Maseo pointed out.

Conceding Oliver found what he was looking for and hesitantly put his thumb on the reader. A blue light up as it read his thumb print and after a moment, a small box opened up on the screen.

"I'm in." Oliver said.

"The crawler's programed to seek out all of Kang's network traffic." Maseo said as Oliver hooked up the small electronic device to the computer.

"It's running." Oliver told them as another, much larger box with various color schemes opens up.

"It should take about ninety seconds for the program to do its stuff." Sara advised over the comms.

As he waited, Oliver looked over at the original box that had opened up. It was a list of private files and Oliver frowned as he saw his father's name. Unable to help himself, Oliver clicked on it and opened up two files, one was titled his name and one was titled Thea. Oliver clicked on his file but it would take eight minutes to download, time that he simply did not have. An idea striking him, Oliver pulled open the desk drawer and quickly pulled out a flash drive. Plugging it into the computer, Oliver began downloading the file. A low beeping sound caught his attention and Oliver saw the crawler was done. He quickly pocketed it and waited for the file to download.

"Oliver, you need to go." Maseo warned.

"I'm not done." Oliver said stubbornly, wanting to see what was on that file.

"Oliver Jonas Queen, you need to get out of there, someone's coming!" Sara screeched n his ear.

The file downloaded and Oliver snatched it up before exiting everything out. Oliver ran behind the wall and hide mere moments before someone walked into the office. Hearing the click of high heels against tile, Oliver peaked his head out from around the corner just enough to see who it was. It was a young woman around his age, maybe little younger, with blonde hair in a ponytail and blue eyes with glasses. She walked over to the desk and put a file on it before looking down at the picture of Oliver and Robert.

"You're cute. It's too bad you're, you know, dead," She said as she leaned down n on the desk, "which is obviously a lot worse for you than it is for me. And I really need to learn to stop talking to myself."

It took all of Oliver's self-control not to laugh as she walked out. Once she had walked out the door, Oliver waited a few seconds before emerging from his hiding spot.

"I'm on my way back." Oliver said as he walked out of the office.

Argus safe house

Later

Oliver and Sara watched as Maseo sorted through the data on Kang's computer with Waller standing over her shoulder.

"The auction is tonight, in four hours." Maseo said speaking for the first time since they had come back.

"Where?" Waller demanded.

"Still working on that. The crawler retriever two-point-seven gigabits of data, it's taking some time to crawl through." Maseo explained.

"You have four hours, apparently," Waller said tersely before looking up and not seeing Sara and Oliver where they had been previously, "where are Mr. Queen and Ms. Lance?"

Outside a mansion

Later

"What happened?" Sara hissed as Oliver met up with outside.

"I saw Thea's drug dealer, I went to threaten him. He recognized me, so I had to kill him." Oliver explained and Sara looked over his shoulder, her eyes widening.

"Daddy?" She asked softly in a small voice.

Oliver followed her gaze and saw Quentin Lance talking to his partner. A pang went through Oliver, similar as to when he had seen Tommy and Thea. So close, yet so far. The couple watched, heartbroken, as a drunk Quentin walked over to Thea, Tommy, and Laurel, making a loud, drunken statement before Oliver felt a gun on his back.

"We're leaving, now." Maseo snarled in his ear.

Reluctantly, Oliver and Sara let him lead them away. It was not until they were in the back alley, heading towards Maseo's car that he speaks.

"What were you thinking? Anyone at that party could have recognized you?!" Maseo demanded.

"I pulled the hoodie down to cover my face." Oliver defended.

"That disguise would work if you smeared grease paint over your face." Maseo scoffed.

"So what, you came to chastise me at gun point?" Oliver snarled.

"We found the location of the auction," Maseo said silencing Oliver's retort, "Kang is using a defunct steel factory owned by your family's company."

"Okay, let's go. But first…I need a laptop." Oliver said causing both his companions to look at him confused.

"Ollie?" Sara asked confused before Oliver pulled out a flash drive.

"What is that?" Maseo demanded.

"On this flash drive is a file I found when I was in my dad's office. My dad left this file for me. If I die tonight, I…I want to know what's on this." Oliver admitted, unable to look at Sara.

There was a silence in the area before Maseo walks over to the car. Opening the door, he pulls out a laptop before shoving it in Oliver's hands and shoving him inside. Once Sara and Maseo were both inside and the door was closed, Oliver plugged the flash drive into the drive on the laptop. After a moment, with Sara leaning into his side, Oliver was stunned to see the face of Robert Queen looking back at him.

"Dad." Oliver breathed as Sara gripped his arm tightly.

"Hello Oliver. I told myself that I was making this in case I died suddenly…but I wonder if it's just easier to say what I have to to a video camera," Robert mused before carrying on, "I'm not the man you think I am Oliver. I didn't save our city, I failed it. I did something terrible and in my efforts to make it right, I ignored my conscious. I made alliances with terrible people. There's a book Oliver.

"A book with all their names. I told myself that everything that I did, I did for my family. That's a lie. What good is a family…without a soul? You can be better than I was. You can right my wrongs son, you can save this city." Robert said before the screen went blank.

"You okay Ollie?" Sara asked the father of her child as he closed the laptop.

"No…but I will be," Oliver said as he took her hand, "I'm gonna go with Maseo and take down White…and then I'm gonna get us out from under Waller's thumb and I'm gonna come save this city."

"No you're not; we're gonna save this City." Sara said as she squeezed his hand.

Old Steel mill

Later

Oliver and Maseo stood with a team of Argus operatives as they watched, undetected, as White began the bidding. However, luck was not on their side, as one of their operatives made some noise on the bars, alerting the bidders to their presence. Oliver and Maseo ducked for cover as one of the guards shot at them. As Maseo fired back at them, Oliver fired an arrow and took one of the gunmen. Together, Maseo and Oliver took out all the gunmen as White and the bidders fled. The pair then ran down as fast as they could.

Outside, White's car was speeding away when a gun shot fired. A bullet went through the window and hit the driver, right in the head. In front of the car they had arrived in, Sara lowered the gun and watched as White's car lost control quickly and crashed into a wall. Whit and they Bidder quickly got out of the car but they didn't get far. Oliver decked White, which knocked her unconscious while Maseo grabbed the bidder by the arm.

"You have a choice to make." Oliver told the bidder.

"What choice?" He asked nervously.

"If you want to keep your hand." Oliver growled.

Hotel, next day

Morning

Oliver and Sara stood by the window, Sara leaning against Oliver as he had his arms wrapped around her. Looking over his shoulder, Oliver saw Waller standing by Maseo.

"Thanks for the lift home. Have a nice flight back to Hong Kong." Oliver said with much more politeness than Waller deserved.

"It's not that simple Mr. Queen.

"Oh, I think it is," Sara snapped as she turned around, crossing her arms over her chest as she glared at Waller, "you have White, you have the Omega, which was the whole reason you kidnapped us and used the life of our baby as a bargaining chip. It's over and now we are staying home!"

"I'm sorry to say that is not up to any of us." Waller said as a middle aged man in a military uniform walked into the room.

"This him?" The man asked Waller who nodded, "General Mathew Shrieve. You two have done your country a great service today Mr. Queen, Ms. Lance. But I'm sorry, I have some news you two aren't gonna wanna hear."

"We're used to that by now." Sara said bitterly.

"We're gonna have to debrief the two of you. Back in China. Once that's done…and the Omega's safe…we'll take you anywhere in the world you wanna go. Sound fair?"

"Yeah." Oliver said after a brief glance at Sara and Waller.

So, I realize I didn't have Sara really do much this chapter besides take out White's driver, but I really don't think that she could do much in this chapter while being five months pregnant. So, you know the usual. Leave any thoughts or comments in a review, feedback greatly appreciated. Until next time.
