Oliver landed on the ground of the warehouse after entering through the roof. He was on this mission alone, he didn't even have Felicity in his ear. "Speedy" he whispered loudly and then he called out "Slade!"
In the corner of his vision, he saw a fist coming towards his head so he dropped down avoiding it. He stood back up and he grabbed his attacker and aggressively pinned him to the wall. Another attacker pulled Oliver away and attempted to toss him on the ground but Oliver spun out of his grip and kicked the guy in the stomach. He grabbed his other attacker and threw him on top of the other one. "Is Thea Queen here or is she not?" he shouted while pointing an arrow at the men on the floor.
The guy on the bottom huffed: "Mr. Wilson released ".
He wasn't sure if this was another con, but his vigilante phone buzzed with a text from Quentin telling him that Thea was at the precinct. Oliver quickly shot a grappling arrow to the roof and exited the scene. On the way to find a place to change his clothes, Oliver called Roy. "Hey, Oliver" Roy answered. "I know about Thea. I am driving Laurel and your mother to the precinct. Laurel has Mia with her".
Oliver nodded his head and he pulled over into the shadows to change out of his costume. "I'll be there in 5 minutes," he said.
Roy was the first to hug Thea when they saw her. "Thea, are you okay? You can tell me everything or nothing. Whatever you prefer..." Thea hugged her mother and Laurel and she kissed her niece.
"I'm okay, Roy," Thea said.
Roy nodded and looked like he wanted to say more but was holding it in.
"We are all so glad you are okay," Laurel said.
"Speedy!" Oliver called out as he entered the precinct and walked right up to her. She turned around and hugged him. "I swear, Speedy, I worked with the police and I was not going to stop until you were found".
"It's okay, Ollie. I'm fine" Thea said.
"I think that it is time that we go home," Moira said.
"Good call," Roy said. "Thea, can I take the ride with you? I get that I don't live at the mansion anymore, but I really just want to help you settle back in". Roy made eye contact with Oliver and Oliver slightly nodded his head.
Thea looked thoughtful and then she nodded, "Yeah, Roy".
Laurel and Oliver excused themselves and they were hanging out in the foundry. "Slade didn't kidnap my sister without a reason," Oliver said.
"Yep, and I think I know what the reason was," Laurel said as she pulled up surveillance footage from Iron Heights prison. The footage showed a group of prisoners being transported by men wearing Deathstroke masks. "Should I tell my dad?"
"I would've said no, but we need all of the help we can get," Oliver said.
"Have you been in contact with Nyssa?" Laurel asked, conflict present on her face.
"Not since the night Slade was at the mansion" Oliver reported. Oliver slumped his shoulders and rubbed his eyes.
"You're over-tired," Laurel said and she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and led him to the cot. "I am gonna stay up and keep working, Mia is probably going to keep me awake anyway..." Laurel said, running a gentle hand over Oliver's forehead.
"Laurel," Oliver said. "You- you think I am doing the best that I can, right? Maybe, I- may be my focus is not in the right place".
"If it is not, then we'll fix that together. You're not alone, Ollie. You were on that island, but you're home and here at home, I will always be by your side" Laurel said and leaned down and kissed Oliver.
"I love you," Oliver said. "I know that because I have you and the team, we can fight back".
Roy tucked Thea into bed that night. "Good to be back in your own bed, right?" Roy said with a grin.
"It is, and it's good to be with you. Thank you for spending time with me" Thea said.
"Thea, I was going to say that I know I broke up with you, but I rushed into that decision, and that decision was not even one I truly wanted to make. I love you, Thea Dearden Queen, and I have since the day that I first told you. If I have to choose between a life with you or a life without you... I will always choose life with you... no matter what I have been dosed with" Roy confessed and he caused Thea to smile slightly.
"I hope that you're not just saying that because you feel bad about the kidnapping," Thea said.
"I'm not, the kidnapping only confirmed what I was already feeling, and that was that I made the worst decision of my life" Roy then moved in to kiss Thea and Thea kissed back. The kiss was interrupted when Roy's phone rang.
"Your timing is impeccable as always, Oliver" Roy grunted into the phone and Thea rolled her eyes.
"Roy, we could use your help. Barry, Laurel and I are about to leave to go to Queen Consolidated and Barry doesn't want Felicity to be alone here" Oliver said. Roy nodded. He kissed Thea's forehead.
"She probably shouldn't be. I'm on my way, it should only take five minutes" Roy informed.
"I'm here with Felicity," Roy said over the comms from command central.
"Copy that. Are you guys alright?" asked Green Arrow.
"Just fine" Felicity answered. "Hey, Flash, maybe you can bring my favorite Big Belly Burger order back to base with you when you finish up?"
"Anything for you, Overwatch" Flash replied.
"Overwatch?" Felicity and Roy asked at the same time.
"I was thinking that we should give you a codename and "babe" didn't exactly capture what you provide our team with" Barry teased.
"I like Overwatch," Green Arrow said.
"The bombs are in place, I could've used more help guys," Black Canary said.
"Sorry, pretty bird" Oliver said and Laurel gave him a look.
"What, do you not like it?" Oliver asked.
"No, no. I love it" Laurel replied
