To answer the question, the reason I changed the name of this story is because I felt like it was veering away from just focusing on Laurel's new powers.


Oliver was surprised when there was a knock on his office door and he saw Laurel coming in.

"Not that it isn't good to see you, but what brings you here?" Oliver asked.

"Thea texted me and John about your apparent new sister." Laurel said.

"I should've known. Well, she's legit." Oliver said.

"I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now." Laurel said and Oliver sighed.

"Honestly, after finding out about Dad's less than socially responsible ideals, it's not surprising to find out that he had an illegitimate kid and it also explains why he accepted Thea into open arms despite knowing that she wasn't actually his daughter." Oliver said.

"So what's bugging you?" Laurel asked.

"It's that he never told us. Even after he died, he never arranged for Thea and I to meet our sister. It's like he was trying to keep our family apart." Oliver said.

"Or maybe he knew how much danger you and Thea were in due to his dealings with Merlyn and he was trying to protect Emiko from that." Laurel said.

"Maybe." Oliver conceded as he sat back in his chair as Felicity called him.

"Hello?" Oliver asked.

"You need to get to the precinct now." Felicity said.

"Wait, what?" Oliver asked.

"After I saw what Church stole, Quentin got his tech guys to send me the schematics of the device and I'm pretty sure it's been rigged to blow." Felicity said.

"Call John and Thea, we're on our way." Oliver said as he hung up.

"What's going on?" Laurel asked.

"There's a good chance Church is planning on raiding the SCPD. But he won't be expecting us to be waiting there for him." Oliver said.

"Let's go." Laurel said.


"I'm going with you." Emiko said as Oliver, John, Thea and Laurel went suit up in the bunker.

"No you're not. And that's because you don't know anything about the team. I know you're good with a bow, but you're not in sync like the rest of us are. Which means." Oliver said.

"I'm a liability." Emiko said.

"Exactly. Besides, you don't exactly have a suit on standby. You want to help, you can run comms with Felicity." Oliver said and Emiko sighed.

"For how long?" Emiko asked.

"We'll talk when we get back." Oliver said and Emiko nodded as Oliver moved to change while she went to sit by Felicity.

"It's not personal, it's just he doesn't really know anything about you yet. Honestly, he tried to keep Thea as far away from this life as he could, but that didn't work out." Felicity said as the team joined them.

"No it did not." Speedy said.

"Okay, so what is everyone's codenames? I know Oliver is the Green Arrow, but the rest of you? John?" Emiko asked.

"Spartan." John said.

"Thea?" Emiko asked her sister (are thea and Emiko sisters, since they aren't technically related. This whole thing is confusing).

"Speedy." Thea said.

"Laurel? I think?" Emiko asked, since Laurel had fully transformed.

"Khione." Khione said.

"I'm Overwatch and Laurel's dad Quentin is Detective." Felicity said.

"So, you got a cop on your team." Emiko asked.

"Strictly as an informant, due to his health issues. Though it's a bit ironic considering how many times he tried to arrest me for being a vigilante. Anyways, we need to go so that way when Church makes his move, we'll be ready." Oliver said.

"Remember, we need him alive. I can't make a deal if I don't anything to offer." Khione said and they all nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Emiko asked.

"Felicity can fill you in, we need to move." Speedy said as she walked out, Green Arrow, Spartan and Khione close behind her.

"So, Thea seemed extra motivated to get this Church guy. I mean don't get me wrong, he sounds like a bastard, but also not like the kind of guy who deserves Oliver's mercy." Emiko asked Felicity.

"That's because he's not. But we need Church alive to get another member of our team back." Felicity said.

"Who?" Emiko asked.

"Roy Harper. He's sitting in a maximum security prison right now for something he didn't even do. Our only chance of getting him out is if Laurel can make a deal with the feds to trade Church for Roy. And the reason Thea is so motivated is because she has been madly in love with Roy since he stole her purse 4 years ago." Felicity chuckled and Emiko laughed.

"Sounds like a real love story." Emiko said.

"Romeo and Juliet, but with a lot more break ups." Felicity said.

"Sounds like she must really love him to do whatever it takes to get him out." Emiko said and Felicity nodded.

"After her mom died, Roy was sort of Thea's anchor. She hasn't been the same since he left." Felicity said.

"Sounds like there's more to the story." Emiko said.

"There is, but you should ask your sister for it. If you and Thea are even sisters. It's confusing." Felicity said.

"Tell me about it." Emiko said.
