Disclaimer: I do not own Arrow or anything DC comics related.
Inspired by the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (favorite Marvel film, by the way), this is a rewrite of Arrow season 4. And for those curious, this won't be an Olicity fan fic, though I do have some ideas in mind with the two!
Enjoy the read, let me know what you think.
Previously:
"This was a trap." John muttered, looking all the Ghosts.
"Yes, it was a trap, indeed. Damien Darhk would like to see you, though, he wanted Oliver here too. Where is he?" Ravager questioned.
"We don't know, we haven't heard from him in days." Speedy answered.
"Fine, he'll come for you anyways. I can't wait to see his reaction when, instead of his team, he finds three corpses. Get them in the trucks!" Ravager commanded the Ghosts.
They grab the team and drag them to the trucks, loading them inside. Ravager watched before turning his attention to Clock King's body.
"Clean this up, too." Ravager said.
He walked away as two Ghosts carried Clock King's body and dumped him into the waters. Moments later, when everything was done, the trucks took off and was on their way back to H.I.V.E Headquarters.
Lian Yu, A.R.G.U.S Supermax Prison
"What do you mean, your son's name isn't Grant?" Oliver said.
Slade handed the tablet back to Oliver.
"I told you already, kid. That's not my son, I've never seen him before in my life!" Slade responded.
"That's because you didn't know he was born, Slade. Your wife hid him from you." Oliver replied.
Wilson glanced at Oliver, confused, moving closer to the bars.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Slade was curious, but tried to hide it.
"Like I said, I did my research. Your wife birthed another boy, Slade, and she hid him, for what reason, I don't know. But one thing I do know is that this is your son and the only person that can stop him is you." Oliver said.
Slade looked Oliver in the eyes, just before Oliver reached into his pocket and revealed keys. He unlocked Slade's cell and opened it up.
"There's a plane out at the shore, clothes in the bag. We'll be leaving in thirty minutes, with or without you."
Oliver then turned back around and climbed up the ladder, with Nyssa behind him. Slade noticed the bag was still there and picked the bag up. The mercenary looked inside and reached inside, pulling out his infamous black and orange mask.
Meanwhile, Star City
Spartan, Speedy and Black Canary were in hand cuffs, riding in the back of a H.I.V.E truck with Ghosts and Ravager. His mask was off, as he sat it besides him. The back of the truck was very quiet, on the way to the headquarters.
Thea was eyeing Ravager, which bothered him. He then asked, "Is there a problem?"
"You look like someone I know," Speedy answered.
"I get that a lot. My father was a very popular man, your family has quite history with him, from what I've heard." Ravager answered.
"Your father is.." John said, waiting for him to finish.
"Slade Wilson." Ravager answered with a smile.
Ravager looked at Thea, specifically, with a sinister grin. Thea's eyes lit up as it began to make sense, she began to notice that the armor he wore was similar to Slade's Deathstroke attire. She tried to lung but the cuffs on her wrist held her back to the bench.
"Don't worry. I hate my father as much as you do." Ravager replied.
One of the Ghosts leaned over and whispered something in Ravager's ear. He nodded his head and looked back to Team Arrow.
"We're here. Ya know, the headquarters is pretty nice." He informed them. "But for safety measures, you won't be able to really see it."
Suddenly, the Ghosts pounced on them and injected syringes into them. In a matter of minutes, they start to lose consciousness and Thea was the last to knock out. Before she did, the last thing she looked at was the spawn of Slade Wilson, who had a smile plastered on his face.
Later, Lian Yu
Nyssa and Oliver were at the plane, as Oliver kept looking at the watch on his hand. The daughter of the Demonhead, Nyssa, noticed this.
"You think he's coming?" Nyssa asked.
"I hope so, cause God knows we'll need him." Oliver answered. "His thirty minutes are now up."
Oliver sighed and turned around, walking over to the door on the side. He opened it up and was about to get inside.
"Oliver."
Oliver looked at Nyssa, who was staring at Slade, in the far distance. He was in new, fresh street clothes, while holding the duffel bag. A smile appeared on the archer's face as Slade Wilson headed to Oliver. The two looking each other in the eyes.
He extended his hand out to Slade and the mercenary took a long stare before shaking it.
H.I.V.E HQ, Star City
Cold. That's what John, Laurel and Thea had felt when they finally woken up. The three realized that they had been stripped off their weapons, only left in their gear. John didn't have his gun, Laurel didn't have her Canary Cry device or tonafs, and Thea didn't have her bow. They were all together, unknown which part of the headquarters they were in, or even if they were truly in the headquarters.
"What the hell is this?" John questioned, looking around.
Then, the man known as Damien Darhk appeared from out of the shadows. By his side was Mina, Ruve and Ravager.
"You're in a cell, John. All of you are." Damien replied.
John realized that there was a glass separating the two from each other, separating the vigilantes from the true enemies.
"What do you want from us?" Laurel asked. "Why are we here?"
"Because I want this to go smoothly, Miss Lance. Rubicon is slowly on it's way to becoming reprogrammed, and when it's done, I don't need your team interfering with what we have planned here." Damien answered.
"You really think that H.I.V.E should be the one to rule the world? What happens when they find out Damien Darhk was the one to blow everything to shit?" John questioned.
"Oh, that's simple John." Damien answered, playing with his fingers. "They won't be alive to know, just like you all here. I'll be back, Grant, keep them company."
Grant nodded as Damien left with the rest of The Four, while Grant stood on the other side of the glass, waving.
Felicity was in the computer room, working on Rubicon, after finally gaining access into the fail safe. She was looking at a digital map, with red markings placed all across in certain continents. She was amazed.
Then, the door opened and Damien, Ruve and Mina walked in.
"I got into Rubicon, guys. It's just going to take me awhile before I can even start reprogramming this thing. May take even weeks." Felicity informed them.
"Days, Miss Smoak. We're speeding everything up." Damien replied.
"Days? Oh, okay but that's going to be a little hard. May I ask why we're speeding this up?" Felicity asked.
"Your friends. They're a real pain in the ass. And your little boyfriend is still out there, we don't know what he's planning but I know he'll be here soon. I want them to be front seat, watching the action." Damien says, grinning.
He walked away with the others while Felicity watched. She looked around, making sure no one was watching, before she turne around to the computer. She moved her finger along the keyboard before pressing one of the buttons.
Suddenly, the digital map disappeared. Coding appeared on the screen but was also disappeared as well. Felicity shook her head, now back at stage one of accessing Rubicon.
Elsewhere..
The plane had landed but not where they wanted, not in Star City. Oliver, Slade and Nyssa got out of the plane and looked around, noticing that the place they were in wasn't Star City. Slade walked to Oliver's side.
"I thought we were going home, kid. Where are we?" Slade asked, looking around.
"I recognize this place." Nyssa said. "My father brought me here before, back when I was a little girl. I don't remember much about it but.."
"This is our last stop for help." Oliver told them both. "So let's go."
The three of them beginning walking away from the plane as they passed by a sign, Welcome to Gotham.
