The Team watched closely as Slade moved behind Roy and pulled out the syringe.

"What in the world?" Felicity asked as she tried to enhance the video so that she could see what was in the syringe and was irritated when she saw that it was unmarked.

After a moment it was obvious to the Team what was about to happen. After Slade injected Roy, and then left the room with Thea and Roy close behind Felicity turned in her chair to face Sara and Diggle with wide eyes.

"He has a cure!"

Chapter 25 - Results

Thea was dragged out of the room, hands tied behind her back, kicking and screaming. She had just watched as Oliver was tortured with a whip, and then her boyfriend was brought in and a needle stabbed into his heart. They were bringing Roy out of the room as well, but she was worried that he was seriously injured from that needle. The men brought them to what appeared to be a garage with a black van parked inside. Roy was removed from the stretcher and thrown into the back of the van and then Thea was thrown in after him. The door was slammed shut behind them and it was just a moment later that the van started to move. She would have watched to see where they were going, or coming from, if the windows had not been blacked out. After a brief moment she moved as close as she could to Roy in hopes that he would wake up, soon.

It was only a few minutes later when the van slid to a stop, causing Thea to lose her balance as she fell over onto her side with a cry. She was pulled roughly out of the van and pushed a few feet away to some stairs outside of what looked like a bank. She thought the building looked familiar but was unable to get a good look before Roy was thrown in her direction and landed hard on the steps beside her. One of the men came over to her and quickly untied her hands before quickly climbing back in the van. As the van sped away she turned to Roy and tried to wake him up. After a couple of minutes of talking to him, shaking him, even slapping his face he finally started to stir.

"Thea?" Roy asked groggily. He felt like he had been run over by a truck.

"Roy!" Thea cried with relief. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Roy responded as he slowly sat up. "Where are we?" He asked as he slowly started to look around.

"I don't know." Thea responded as she tried to dry her tears.

"Hey, I know this building." Roy stated as he slowly stood, recognizing where they were.

"Where are we?" Thea asked as she stood next to Roy, holding on to his arm as she was unwilling to let him go anytime soon.

"We're at the bank." Roy responded.

"What bank?" Thea asked, thoroughly confused now.

"The one where we stopped the arms dealers." Roy said as he looked around some more, trying to get his bearings so he could take them back to the lair that he now knew was close. "Come on. Let's go back to the lair."

"Won't they just come find us?" Thea asked, curious as to why they didn't just wait for Oliver's Team to find them.

"They won't be able to." Roy said as they started to walk. "Slade destroyed all my trackers."

Felicity sat staring at her Teammates. She knew that Slade had the cure. She had just seen him inject Roy with it. She knew that the entire game had just changed.

"What do you mean he has a cure?" Lance asked as he watched the Team's reaction to Slade's words.

"Dad, you know about the Mirakuru." Sara answered as she turned from her Team to look at her Dad who gave a nod of his head as he remembered his run in with Cyrus Gold. "Slade has a cure for it."

"If he has more of it..." Diggle stated as he realized what this meant.

"...Then we can stop Slade with his own cure." Sara finished.

"We have to find him first though." Felicity said as she turned back to her computers and began typing furiously again. "If only I could find him!" She muttered under her breath.

"How are you going to find him?" Laurel asked curiously. "You've been trying to track him for hours."

"I know." Felicity responded without looking up from her computer screen. "I just had a thought though. I just have to see if it works."

"So what do we do in the meantime?" Laurel asked.

"We wait." Diggle responded as he sat down next to Felicity.

They all watched Felicity for about thirty minutes before anyone spoke.

"Where did Roy and Thea go?" Lance asked as he noticed that the couple was no longer in the room with Oliver.

"They were pulled out a while ago." Diggle responded.

"Do you think they are okay?" Laurel asked with concern.

Before anyone could respond Diggle heard the distinct click of the lock on the door and instinctively turned, gun drawn, to the stairs. No one expected to see who had just entered.

"Roy! Thea!" Felicity cried as she stood and ran to envelope the younger woman in a big hug. "You guys are here, how?"

"They let us go." Roy responded quietly as he leaned against one of the tables. He felt different than normal and couldn't figure out why. "They dropped us off at the bank where we busted the arms dealers."

Felicity suddenly whirled back towards her computers as an alert sounded. She ran back to her computer and began to type furiously.

"Felicity?" Sara asked curiously as she joined the other blonde at the computers.

"I have results." Felicity cried, relief in her voice. She turned and looked briefly at Oliver in the video feed, relieved that she finally found something. "They are bouncing the signal around, but I know where one of the routers is."

"Where Felicity?" Sara asked, ready to get going on the new lead.

"I think it's at the bank." Felicity said as she turned to Sara. "I can't access it from here though. I have to go to the source."

"Not an option." Diggle said forcefully. "Oliver would kill me if something happened to you."

"So you and Sara go with me." Felicity said as she began to gather her tablet and jacket, ready to go do something , anything to get Oliver back.

"Fine!" Diggle conceded. "But you're explaining this one to Oliver."

"Deal." Felicity said with a smile as her, Diggle and Sara turned to leave the lair. Just as they reached the stairs they turned quickly when they heard the sound of something falling behind them.

"Roy!" Thea cried as her boyfriend hit the floor.

"Roy." Diggle said as he rushed to his young partner's side. "Roy, what's wrong?"

"I don't feel right." Roy said as he slowly sat up.

"Slade injected you with a cure." Diggle explained as he hauled the younger man onto the medical table.

"John?" Sara asked. She knew that they had to get going if they were going to get anything from this lead.

"Could be effects from the venom." Diggle said as he started to look Roy over. "You guys go." Diggle said resignedly. He hated that he couldn't go but needed to make sure nothing life threatening was wrong with Roy. "I'm going to check out Roy, make sure he's okay. I'll catch up."

"We'll stay on the comms." Sara said as her and Felicity quickly left the lair.

"Do you think we will get to him in time?" Felicity asked Sara as they made their way to the bank as quickly as they could.

"I don't know Felicity." Sara answered her friend, knowing what she was asking. She hated to give her false hope since she didn't know if they would get to Oliver in time or not. "I hope so!"

"I haven't even had a chance to tell him that I love him." Felicity said quietly as she stared out the car window, tears welling up in her eyes. "What if I never get the chance to tell him?"

"Felicity, listen to me." Sara said, knowing that she had to say something to get Felicity to think about the job ahead. They couldn't afford for her to be distracted at a time like this. Not when Oliver's life was hanging in the balance. "We're going to find Oliver. Okay. We're going to find him and take him home where you can tell him everything that you are thinking. But to do that we need to trace that signal. You're the only one that knows what needs to be done. You need to focus." She didn't want to be too harsh with her, but also knew that they couldn't do this without her. "Oliver needs you right now Felicity."

"You're right." Felicity said with a nod as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Let's do this!" She said determinedly as she pushed up her glasses and took a deep breath. She noticed that they were just pulling up to the bank.

It took them less than five minutes to find the router. However, just as Felicity hooked up her tablet to start her work Sara tensed. It was only moments later that smoke filled the room and both Sara and Felicity were knocked out.

Oliver felt like he had failed. He had failed his family, his friends, his Team. From the very beginning, with Yao Fei, Shado, even Slade he had tried to help, to protect them and he had failed everyone who had depended on him who trusted him. He had kept secrets and lied to those who were closest to him since before he left on the Gambit and now he was paying the price. He hung there, silently, painfully, as he realized that he was finally getting what he deserved. His only regret was that he wouldn't get to say goodbye to Felicity.

It was several minutes after Slade had pulled Thea and Roy from the room that his former friend returned.

"How are you doing kid?" Slade asked, knowing full well the answer. He could see the pain in the kids face.

Oliver kept his eyes downcast, avoiding his former friend's eyes.

"Here." Slade said as grabbed Oliver by the jaw, forcing his mouth open. "Swallow these." He said as he put some herbs into Oliver's mouth, forcing them down with some water.

Oliver recognized the herbs as some from the Island. He must not be ready for me to die yet. He thought as he almost choked on the water being forced down his throat. He didn't miss the smile on Slade's face.

"Can't have you dying yet." Slade said with an evil grin on his face. "There are more people for us to have some fun with." Slade said as he turned to the door. It opened a moment later and two people were brought in. One was tied to the chair that Thea had recently vacated and the other was chained up where Detective Lance had just been.

"Enjoy your alone time." Slade said as he left the room, slamming the door behind him.

"Sara? Felicity?"
