Chapter Thirty-Six: Revelations.

Thea Queen's questions swam through her minds, and a long thought crossed over her mind, when she looked at Artemis and Harry. She took a chair which had been offered, and Thea placed herself down on the chair, hands folded in her lap. A long pause followed and she closed her eyes.

"What do you mean you know my brother survived?" Thea asked.

"I've seen him, ran into him….he's currently being watched by people who will ensure he will remain out of trouble," Harry said. Thea responded with a slight knowing smile because of the implication Oliver would stay out of trouble. "The person in question is rather capable….and when it's time for Oliver to come home, he'll be ready."

"So, you're having him held captive until this entire mess with the conspiracy is taken care of?" Thea asked.

Harry smiled and decided to answer the young heiress's question with another question of his own. He leaned towards Thea with a smile crossing his face.

"How much have you found out about this entire mess?" Harry asked.

"I know Malcolm Merlyn is in the center of this, if you're wondering, and he wants to wipe out the Glades, I don't know why," Thea said.

"His wife was killed there….he grew cold and distant since then, and….decided to join the League of Assassins," Harry said.

"But, if he's a member of the League….can't you make him back off?" Thea asked.

Harry considered her question, a good question to be honest. He figured the most straightforward answer possible would be good enough for him.

"Merlyn left the League sometime before I assumed leadership," Harry said. The sorcerer assassin's face turned into a smile, the type of smile which would cause someone's heart to shiver with the insanity. "He feared the former leader of the League, therefore since I destroyed him, his bravado will be very less."

"And it just isn't as simple is tracking him down and putting an arrow through is head, is it?" Thea asked. The looks from both of the vigilantes caused her to really get the message straight away. Another shiver passed through her spinal cord. "Right…..it answers my question, nothing is quite simple, isn't it?"

"Never too simple, unfortunately," Artemis said. "Soon though, his security network will be chipped away, and we'll be able to take him out."

Thea understood there would be only one way to take someone like Merlyn out permanently. She had a few misgivings regarding what they could do, but really not as many as they would think. They were a part of the group called League of Assassins.

"We only kill those who have found a way to harm the righteous," Harry said. He touched his hand onto the hand of the young heiress. The young man's hand touched hers. "It's a slippery slope, and everyone is a hero in their own story."

"Have you ever seen yourself as a hero?" Thea asked.

"I'm not sure if there are any heroes in the world," Harry said for a long moment. "At least in this world, it has no place for heroes."

"Pretty cynical, don't you think?" Thea asked. Harry raised an eyebrow in response. Thea slid back, the burning gaze Harry placed into her face causing a shiver to spread over her spine. "I'm just saying…it sounds pretty cynical….but you must have seen things which would give you such an attitude, didn't you?"

"Good girl," Harry said. The young man leaned closer towards Thea and her mind went into an interesting place when Harry's gaze worked into hers. "When you've lived, and died, like I have, it tends to do a lot to strain your optimism towards people."

Thea noticed the casual nature of his statement about living and dying, and did wonder a lot of things. Dare she ask the question.

"There have been things of mystical legend, but the truth is more fantastic than pretty much anything else," Harry said. The powerful wizard stared into Thea's eyes, and she stepped back. "Let's just say, I've flirted with death, chased death, and bedded death."

The implications of Harry's statement caught Thea for a moment.

"We can find out how much your mother has to do with this entire mess," Harry said. "And in exchange, I will give you the training you need. You can never go back when you start."

"I don't want to be weak," Thea said. She stood up rather firm. "All of those times I got in trouble, I wished I was able to defend myself. Rather than wait around for some savior to rescue me…no offense, really."

Artemis flashed her a smile, which showed Thea none was taken. A momentary pause followed and Thea broke in with the obvious smile.

"So, when do we start?" Thea asked.

Dinah stretched out, wearing a pair of yoga pants and a tight black top. Sara stood across from her, wearing the same.

"So, you didn't tell Barbara about me?" Sara asked. "I thought the two of you were close with each other, you shared everything with her, more than me."

"Do you have a problem with Barbara?" Dinah asked.

"Not at all," Sara said. "But, I'm surprised you haven't told her….she's bound to find out…she's way too smart for her own good."

Dinah smiled despite her slight agitation. She had a feeling of blood lust inside her, nothing to do with Sara, but the more she thought about what happened, the more Dinah Laurel Lance wanted blood. A primal sensation spread over her body.

"Way too smart for her own good?" Dinah asked. "It pretty much describes Babs to a tee, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does," Sara said. Her lips curled into a knowing smile. "Why don't you attack me….show me what you have?"

Dinah's blood boiled and the passion for the fight caused her to rush forward. The adversary rushed towards Sara, and aimed a roundhouse kick to the side of her sister's head. Sara blocked the kick and fired back with a rapid fire succession of punches.

Flipping onto her feet, Dinah rushed, and grabbed Sara's legs, before pushing them out from underneath her. The younger Lance sister flipped down and landed on her feet. She rushed towards Dinah, but Dinah evaded her attacks, before going for a kick, at least until the point where Sara brought her down on the ground.

"It's an interesting contrast to how thing went when we were children," Sara said. She tried not to look too conceited.

"But, most of the time, I just ended up pulling your hair. I don't think it will work."

"Well, sometimes the unexpected will happen," Sara said. She looked down with a teasing twinkle in her eye. "If you're done getting knocked on your ass, Laurel."

The older Lance sister sprung up to her feet, determination flowing through her eyes. She would love nothing more than to be able to dominate her sister and bring her down to the ground. Rushing forward, Dinah tried for a roundhouse kick, but Sara evaded it.

"Again, try again."

Dinah cracked Sara with a glancing blow and knocked her down to the ground. She grabbed Sara and pinned her down onto the ground, straddling the top of her younger sister.

"Well, let's face it," Sara said. She smiled despite herself. "You might on top, but you shouldn't mistake being on top for having control."

Sara wrapped her legs around Laurel's waist and rolled her over onto the ground. The younger Lance sister bent down, pinning her sister's hands behind the back of her head. Laurel looked up and responded with a headbutt which caused her sister to stagger.

"Sara, I didn't…."

"No, it's fine," Sara said. She rubbed the side of her face, feeling the warm blood on it. "You hit me really good….but I think we should take five."

Sara looked at the mirror and noticed the blood from her nose from when her older sister took her.

"We've only been reunited for about a week, and you almost defeaned me, and you busted my nose," Sara said. "So tell me, are you being passive aggressive for something, or not?"

"I'm really sorry," Dinah said.

"No, don't be," Sara said. "In fact, next time you hit me like it, I don't want you to let up the attack. I want you to keep it up. Or next time, I will take your head off."

Dinah opened her mouth for a second. Sara reached towards her and grabbed her sister's hand, with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, you won't go too far," Sara said. A shadow of a smile crossed over the face of the younger Lance sister. "As if I'd let you."

Dinah allowed herself to snort, but a sound of someone clapping in the shadows caused the bonding moment the two sisters experienced to fade away. Instinctively, Dinah reached into the shadows and grabbed onto Lady Shiva's wrist, pulling her back out.

"You've learned," Shiva said. "But, if you learned enough, you would have attacked before I alerted you from my arrival. Next time, I wonder if a dagger would be sufficient to make you learn."

Dinah's eyes bored into Shiva's for a long second.

"And I trust you're alright after your ordeal," Shiva said. "I never wanted any pupil of mind to be dragged into my husband's war….especially considering my daughter took on the charge."

"Don't worry about Cassandra, she can take care of herself," Sara said. "Worry about yourself….and all of the problems you've caused."

Sara stood up. She wanted to rip into Lady Shiva for a long time. Nyssa warned her about rocking the boat.

"Child, I'll be lenient on you," Shiva said. "I respect your position as one of the chief lieutenants of the Dragon…but consider your words and remember to lay blame where it's needed."

"Any time, I'll test my skills against you," Sara said. "You think of me as some idiot little girl who tried to get back at her sister by going on a boat with her boyfriend."

"I never said as much, those thoughts came from your mind," Shiva said. She smiled. "But any time, will be another time….I think you don't have your head in the game as is."

One look at Sara's busted up nose caused Shiva to turn around.

"You've had your problems with her?" Dinah asked. "It better not be on my account."

"Don't flatter yourself, Laurel."

Sara turned around and moved over to clean up the injury she suffered. Shiva dug underneath her skin in the worst possible way.

Harry moved into his office, to take a phone call.

"Doctor Wells, what can I do for you?" Harry asked.

"I want to ask you straight up, Doctor Potter," Wells said. "Were you serious about purchasing controlling interest of STAR Labs or were you just pulling my leg?"

"I mean everything I say," Harry said. "I think your labs can be so much more….and the particular accelerator will be online much sooner. And it isn't like I'm going to leave you with nothing."

"How much of a piece are you going to intend to leave me?" Wells asked.

"A big enough piece," Harry said. "You'll have controlling interest in the lab still….and I know you want the lab as your legacy."

"It has…sentimental value to a huge piece of me," Wells said.

"Yes, I understand ,your wife's tragic accident," Harry said. "The next time I'm in Central City, we're going to talk business."

"I have to say, I eagerly anticipate the meeting," Wells said. "I think I understand the benefits….and thank you."

The phone call disconnected for the moment. Just in time for Harry to see Sara walk into the office. Her nose looked a bit banged from this morning.

"So, did you get whacked a bit hard last night?" Harry asked.

"No, this morning," Sara said. She sat down in front of him. Harry's magical hands started to heal her busted up nose, and restore it to good as new.

"Just remember to be more careful," Harry said. He looked into her eyes and a smile crossed over his face. "So, what happened?"

"Would you believe it was my sister who hit me in the face and broke my nose?" Sara asked. She tried not to look too sheepish about the fact.

She smiled at the fact Harry's only response resulted in a half-raised eyebrow. The young man shuffled through several sheets of paper, in an attempt to figure out what he wanted to do.

"I know, it's crazy right," Sara said. "I thought I'd see what she had, and she does have a great right hook…as the state of my nose showed."

"She's coming off of a high from the serum, and….well it causes some weird side effects," Harry said.

"So, she wanted to bust my nose for the entire Gambit mess, and….what happened?" Sara asked.

"Maybe," Harry said. He leaned towards Sara and cupped her cheek, allowing the beauty to stare into his eyes. "But, you know, she had a lot of tension with you to begin with….."

"Are you trying to say what I think you're saving?" Sara asked, with a long smile crossing her face. Harry peered into her eyes for a long moment and Sara smiled. "You are, aren't you?"

"I'll work with her," Harry said. "I noticed she's trying to hold back her more primal instincts….she needs an outlet for them."

Sara pretty much knew the outlet Dinah needed. Rose needed the same kind of outlet when she had been exposed to the serum.

"So, Thea has been brought into the fold," Harry said. "And she confirmed a couple of things which we pretty much suspected."

"Oh, good," Sara said. Harry smiled. "You wouldn't have done so if you didn't have a good reason. And you had Artemis scout her out for months and months for a good reason."

"Yes," Harry said. "For a good reason."

"Did you tell her about Oliver?" Sara asked. "One day, he will return."

"And one day, we will deal with his return," Harry said. "As long as he doesn't get in my way, neither of us will get a problem."

Sara understood where Harry came from. Oliver had been observed on the island, prepared for his return. In some ways, The Queen heir returning at this point would be suicidal, because if there had been any hint he knew anything, he would be died.

"So, I'll be heading to Central City next week, Wells might be close to biting," Harry said.

"Oh, good, really good," Sara said. "You really wanted this business deal to happen, didn't you?"

"Big time," Harry said to her. He brushed a strand of hair away from Sara's face and looked into her eyes for a long moment. "Big time."

Thea walked down to the gym area. Harry afforded a state of the art gym area which had an area for archery. The target looked to be more complex than ever before, but if anything else, Thea enjoyed a challenge. The Queen heiress bent down and picked up a bow and arrow set.

Another figure showed up, and she wore a black tank top and jean shorts. Her silvery platinum blonde hair shined in the light, and she looked on with blue eyes.

"You must be Thea Queen," she said. She reached forward with a smile. "Rose, Rose Wilson."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Thea said. She looked towards Rose.

"So, Harry recruited you," Rose said. "It's inevitable…he's a collector."

Thea raised an eyebrow, leaning towards Rose with a confused look.

"Everyone has their vices, and one of them is beautiful women," Rose said.

"I'd think I might be a little too young for him," Thea said.

"Well, I thought so too, but I made a convincing argument," Rose said. She leaned towards Thea for a moment. "And you're starting to blossom, so it's a good thing Harry wanted to snatch you up…."

"Most people would have a problem with dating someone who is a bit…underage," Thea said. Rose looked at her. "More than a bit."

"Different age of consent rules where Harry came from, honey," Rose said. She placed a hand on Thea's shoulder and smiled. "But, yes, you're a bit under the limit, but it doesn't mean, you can't dream, and anticipation makes the heart go fonder."

Thea thought about it, she tried to deny the fact she thought about what Harry could do, but he invaded her mind and stirred up her senses.

"Just think about it," Rose said. She lead Thea over to the floor for a moment.

Thea figured if Harry might have morality issues with sleeping with someone as young as she was, but did Rose? The predatory look flickering through her eyes prompted Thea to shiver.

"So, take the shot," Rose said. She placed her hands on Thea's shoulders.

Thea closed her eyes and recalled what Artemis told her. What Artemis told her? Everything started to click in the back of Thea's mind and she almost jumped into the air at the implication.

'Oh, you sneaky bitch, you were plotting this the entire time, preparing me, training me, I can't believe it.'

"Relax, focus, and fire."

The same thing Artemis told her, which made Thea realize something happened to be up. Artemis had been assigned by Harry to keep an eye on her, Thea liked to believe they became friends despite all of the intrigue. Regardless, Thea relaxed and she fired, taking the shot.

She hit the target full on, not even coming close to missing the mark. Thea smiled and Rose leaned towards her, brushing her fingers through her hair.

"Good, but let's see if you can get something a bit more advanced."

Rose slowly steered Thea towards the newest target. The young woman blinked when the target presented itself for her.

Thea bit down on her mouth and aimed the arrow. She was going to rise to the occasion and hit the target with precision.

Dinah stretched after a long of training. The older Lance sister needed to really calm herself down, after this morning. She hit her sister a bit too hard in their little sparring session. Sara didn't really do anything wrong, rather Dinah thought long and hard of what she wanted to do herself.

At first, Dinah didn't know why Harry had so many bedrooms, but now it came to her. A knock on the door caused Dinah to look up.

"It's open," Dinah said. The door opened and Dinah's expression brightened up. "Harry, it's good to see you!"

"Just wanted to check up on you, to make everything is okay," Harry said. He watched in near amusement as Dinah came close to jumping him when he entered the room.

"Oh, everything is okay," Dinah said. She stood up straight and realized something. "Is everything okay with Sara? I didn't hurt her, did I?"

Harry answered with a small chuckle. He leaned towards Dinah, gripping her hand in his.

"She's fine, you were just a bit…intense in there," Harry said.

"You call it intense, I would call it careless," Dinah said.

Harry reached towards her and escorted her over to the bed, sitting her down.

"You had the right idea, you just had the wrong outlet," Harry said. "Once we smooth out all of the rough edges, you should be fine, more or less."

Dinah raised her eyebrow, and shivered underneath Harry's hands. The young man started to stroke the back of her neck. Sara hinted he had magic hands, and Dinah really didn't know how accurate it was until now.

"You know, you're making it very hard for me to keep control," Dinah said. Harry kept stroking the back of her neck. "You know, I'm about ready to lose all sense of my impulses."

"What if I want you to lose all sense of your impulses?" Harry asked.

Dinah wondered if he knew how much his actions pushed her buttons. A thought spread over the mind of the beautiful young woman, of course he knew how much he pushed all of her buttons. He pushed them with a greater skill than ever before.

"Just give in, it will be a lot healthier if you give in," Harry said. "For once, take what you want, and take it well."

"Oh, are you…." Dinah said. Harry cut off her statement with a nice kiss to the lips, which shut Dinah up in one fell swoop.

Dinah lost herself to the intense kiss by the powerful young man before her. His tongue brushed against her mouth, pushing deep inside. After allowing herself precious seconds before her brain to reboot, Dinah did the only thing she thought would be necessary. She wrapped her arms around Harry's waist and pulled him into her, returning the kiss with equal fever and passion.

She couldn't believe it happened.

"You better be ready to go all the way," Dinah said after pulling back from the kiss. "Because,

"Mmm, I can't wait to taste your ass, it looks delicious."

Felicity peaked inside of the door the moment she heard those words. Who could blame her? She looked up and saw Harry in the midst of two women, who looked like sisters. One of them had their tongue in the other girl's ass and Felicity experienced a feeling of pleasure course through her body.

During her time on the Internet, doing research, Felicity saw some scandalizing things, but this took the cake. Very different seeing this in person.

Everything went silent, which made Felicity make her way quickly to the elevator.

To think she came to the office to pick up something she forgot, and she got more than she intended. A fantasy entered her head about her boss taking her on the desk for a performance review.

'Why is it all my fantasies are like a really clichéd porno?'
