This chapter is going to contain an extra shock and surprising secret about Dagger.
The next day, Jasmine entered the bunker, clear headed.
"Hey, you sure you can handle talking to her again?" Felicity asked Jasmine.
"Yeah, yesterday, Dagger got into my head, but this time, she won't. There's nothing she can say to me that will actually work. I'm going to get her to talk. No matter how I have to do it." Jasmine said as she walked towards Dagger's cell.
"You seem surprised to see me here. You did lock me up." Dagger said as she saw Jasmine approach her.
"You know as well as I do that you could've escaped last night with ease and probably destroyed this place, but you didn't. Which means that bringing you is what you wanted in the first place. The question is, why did you want me to bring you here?" Jasmine asked her.
"Clever. Perhaps Mr. Wilson underestimated you." Dagger said.
"Why are you working with that monster?" Jasmine demanded.
"You call me a monster when you idolize a greater one." Dagger said.
"Don't try that trick on me again, I figured out your plan last night. My father may have been a monster at times, but at least everything he did, he did it because he was trying to help people. The monsters you idolize were only out for themselves." Jasmine said and Dagger looked impressed.
"I'm impressed, Grant said that you'd still be moping about getting in your head about your father." Dagger said.
"Enough. Why are you working with Grant Wilson? This between him and me." Jasmine said.
"No, this is a family matter. And my family will finally have justice when he's done with you." Dagger said.
"What do you mean family matter?" Jasmine asked.
"Perhaps my real name will shed some light on the subject. My name before I joined the Guild, was Rose. Rose Wilson." Dagger or rather, Rose said.
"Slade Wilson is your father to?" Jasmine asked.
"Yes, he may have turned weak without the mirakuru in him, but my brother and I are strong. We will avenge him for everything Oliver Queen did to him. Putting him in prison was just the first step." Rose said.
"You're insane. Slade Wilson is a good man now. He and my father were close friends, I trust him with my life. Your father would be ashamed of you right now." Jasmine said.
"It's because of your father I never met him." Rose said, taking Jasmine aback.
"What?" Jasmine asked.
"I am Grant's half-sister by our father. We have different mothers." Rose said.
"Who's your mom?" Jasmine asked.
"I believe you knew her as Isabel Rochev. After my mother was killed and my father was sent away, I was sent to an orphanage, but no one ever wanted me." Rose said and Jasmine sympathized for her.
"Why are you telling me this now?" Jasmine asked, getting on her guard again.
"Because before you are destroyed, I wanted you to know why. Your family destroyed mine." Rose said and Jasmine sighed.
"I can arrange for you to meet your dad." Jasmine said, much to Rose's surprise.
"After everything I've done to you, why would you do that?" Rose asked.
"Because every girl should meet their father and trust me, Slade has spent his life since he was cured of the Mirakuru, searching for his sons. If he'd known about you, he would've found you. But why didn't he know about you?" Jasmine asked.
"I was born during the early years of his dealings with my mom. She never told him she was pregnant with me and went to great lengths to him from knowing about me. I think she didn't want me to know what he'd become. Besides, your dad needed to believe she knew nothing of Slade. Keeping his daughter hidden ensured that." Rose said.
"If I arrange for your father to meet you, will you tell everything you know about Grant?" Jasmine asked.
"Depends on how the meeting goes." Rose said but Jasmine could tell that she'd found Rose's weakness. Her desire to meet her dad would be her undoing.
"Yes or no. The only way you'll meet your father is if you give me usable intel." Jasmine said.
"How about I give you some intel that while it won't tell you where he is now, but to prove I'm being genuine. After I meet my father, I'll tell you the rest." Rose said.
"Deal. What's the intel?" Jasmine asked.
"Grant's been trying to replicate the mirakuru. Wants to make sure he's truly like our dad so he can burn this city and everyone in it to the ground." Rose said.
"As much as I don't want to believe it, that does check out, every time I've encountered your brother in the past, he's been raiding chemicals, but I didn't know for what purpose. Now I do. I'll see if I can get ahold of your dad, get him to come here." Jasmine said as she moved to leave.
"Once I meet him, I'll tell you everything I know about Grant." Rose said.
"I know. But don't make me regret this." Jasmine said as he walked out.
