(Earth 1) Starling City: SCPD Feb 2013
Thea Queen was entering the Starling City Police Department for her weekly test as a part of her community service. Thea had been caught using Vertigo and Laurel had managed to get her community service instead of sending her to jail, a part of that community service was weekly tests to make sure that she was clean.
"I am here for my test" Stated Thea as she walked up to where Quentin Lance was sitting
"That time already? Then come on" Stated Quentin as he led her to the Labs, and he poked his head into the lab
"Allen, where is Thompson?" asked Quentin as they walked into the lab, and Allen had turned upon hearing Quentin's voice allowing Thea to get a good look at him, Allen had brown hair and hazel eyes and he looked quite young
"He is out on a crime scene currently" admitted Allen
"Great, when did he leave?" asked Quentin
"About ten minutes ago" admitted Allen
"You know how to run a drug test?" asked Quentin
"I do, it really is not that hard … "Started Allen
"That is great, test Ms. Queen here. I want two tests ran" Stated Quentin as he walked out, leaving Thea and Allen alone, as Allen went to go get two syringes
"So, if you want to sit down Ms. Queen" Stated Allen
"It is Thea, what about you?" Clarified Thea
"Me?" asked Allen confused
"What is your name? I bet it isn't Allen" Retorted Thea
"Barry Allen" Introduced Barry as Thea sat down
"Are you ready?" asked Barry
"Yeah, just get it over with" Stated Thea as Barry drew blood
"All done" Stated Barry
"Alright" Stated Thea
"What is this for if you don't mind me asking?" asked Barry curiously
"You haven't seen the news recently?" asked Thea surprised
"I recently moved here, haven't a lot of time to watch the news" admitted Barry
"I was caught doing drugs and got Community Service" admitted Thea
(Earth 1) Starling City: Table Salt
Thea had meet Roy, after he stole his purse. Thea had tracked him down and he had agreed to go on a date with her. Thea had booked them a table at a fancy restaurant and was waiting for him to arrive, and it had been 15 minutes. She looked towards the door, and spotted Barry arriving. And it turns out they were giving him a hard time about a table.
"He is with me" Explained Thea as the Head Waiter nodded and let him through and to Thea's table where he was given a table
"Hey" Stated Barry
"Hey" Stated Thea
"You didn't need to do that" admitted Barry
"Well, I didn't want to be alone eating. My date was late" admitted Thea
"Well, it there lose" admitted Barry
"Thanks, Barry" admitted Thea with a smile as they ordered their food
"So, Barry. What made you want to be a CSI?" asked Thea as they were waiting for their food
"My mom was killed when I was young. My Father was framed for it, I wanted to prove that he didn't do it" Revealed Barry
"Your dad is not dead, is he?" asked Thea
"No, the murder died and left it in his will. He was released last year" admitted Barry
"Well, that is good" admitted Thea
"So, how is your community service going?" asked Barry
"Well, it is going good I suppose. Almost done that is a plus" Shared Thea
"Well, that is a plus" Shared Barry
(Earth 1) Starling City: Barry's apartment – three months later
Barry had just gotten back to his apartment from SCPD, and when he arrived, he saw Thea sitting on his couch. Barry and Thea had started hanging out more after that night in Table Salt, but in secret. Thea had taken a spare key of his for 'emergencies'.
"Long Day?" asked Thea
"Not too long, what's up?' asked Barry
"I think something is going on" Stated Thea
"A lot of things are going on" Countered Barry
"I mean with Unidac Industries and this Dark Archer" Revealed Thea
"And you want me to look into it?" asked Barry
"No, we are going to look into it. It is connected to Queen Consolidated" Argued Thea
"Fine, but we have to be careful about it" Conceded Barry sighing
"Just like that?" asked Thea confused
"If I don't help you then you will do it yourself" Stated Barry
"That is true, so any suggestions?" Stated Thea
"So where would they keep the very sensitive information in Queen Consolidated?" asked Barry
"My mom's office computer, doubt that you could hack it" admitted Thea
"Lucky for us, it your mom's office" Admitted Barry
"Oh, you want me to go in my mom's office and look through her files" Stated Thea
"That would take too long, you transfer it to a USB. That way we can look through it for anything without being caught" admitted Barry
"How long would it take to transfer?" asked Thea
"Depends on the size of the data" Revealed Barry
"Right, can you walk me through the steps?" asked Thea
"Yeah, you want to do this now?" asked Barry
"Yes, the longer we wait the more chance the Dark Archer does whatever plan he has" Explained Thea
"Then let us get to work" admitted Barry
(Earth 1) Starling City: Queen Consolidated: CEO Office
Thea had gone to Queen Consolidated when she knew that her mother had a board meeting and started the transfer and waited for the download to be complete.
"Thea, what are you doing here?" asked Moira as came into her office
"Hey Mom. I wanted to talk to you" admitted Thea as Thea set her phone down on the desk near the drive
"Oh?" asked Moira
"About College" admitted Thea as they sat down on the couch
"That is great Honey, but you haven't shown interest before" admitted Moira
"I think that whole community service thing changed my mind" Revealed Thea
"Well, I am sure we can get you into a good university" Stated Moira
"I was thinking Starling University. I heard that they had a good Communications program" admitted Thea
"And that is what you want to go for?" asked Moira
"It is" admitted Thea
"I normally would like you to go for business, but we all know how that turned out with Oliver. I am sure we can look into some more" admitted Moira as Thea's phone went off
"Mrs. Queen, Mr. Merlyn is here" admitted one of the Assistants
"I am sure we can talk about this more later" Stated Moira
"Yeah, let me just grab my phone" Stated Thea as she went over to the computer, took her phone and the USB, and turned the computer off, as Malcom walked in
"It is good to see you, Thea" Stated Malcolm
"You too Mr. Merlyn" Stated Thea
"We were just talking about College" Stated Moira
"Really? Any colleges in particular?" asked Malcolm curiously
"Starling University, possibly" Stated Thea
"That is good, can you excuse us. Your mom and I have some important business to talk about" Stated Malcolm
"Of course, see you at home mom" Stated Thea
"Bye sweetheart" Stated Moira
(Earth 1) Starling City: Barry's apartment
Thea had gone back to Barry's apartment and gave him the USB and Barry worked his magic and was in the middle of looking through the files.
"There is a file in here with your name on it in a separate drive" admitted Barry
"From whom?" asked Thea curiously
"Your father" admitted Barry
"What?" asked Thea shocked
"There is one in here for your brother, but it was corrupted" admitted Barry as he passed her a tablet
"Can … Can we watch it together?" asked Thea
"Of course," Stated Barry as they sat on the couch as Thea pressed play on the video
"Hello, Thea. I told myself I was recording this message in case I died suddenly, but I wonder if it is not just easier to say what I have to say to a video camera. I am not the man you think I am, Thea. I did not save our city, I failed it. I did something terrible, and in my efforts to make it right, I ignored my conscience and made alliances with terrible people. There is a book. A book with a list of all their names. And with these people, I always told myself that everything I did, I did for my family. That is a lie. Because what good is a family without a soul? You can right my wrongs. You can be better than I was. You can save this city. I love you." Stated Robert Queen as he spoke in the video
"Thea?" asked Barry hesitantly as he turned to her, to see she had tears in her eyes
"How could he?" asked Thea
"I don't know" admitted Barry softly
"We need to stop whatever this is" Stated Thea
"Thea" Stated Barry hesitantly
"No, Barry we are doing this. I must right his wrongs" Argued Thea
"I wasn't going to say that. If your father left you a video, and he mentioned a book …. Maybe Oliver watched his video and has the book" Revealed Barry
"What are you suggesting?" asked Thea
"I think that your brother is the hood. I bet that the people that the Hood is going after isn't random but instead names off your fathers list" Explained Barry
"But he was arrested and cleared of the charges" Argued Thea
"He was the first suspect, I think that he has someone poses at the hood to get the Police off his back, so no one would connect it to him. And he showed up right after Oliver got back" Countered Barry
"We can figure that out later. Find anything else in the data?" asked Thea
"Just one, a delivery address from one machine from Unidac industries to a warehouse" admitted Barry
"Do we know what it is?" asked Thea
"No, but the company specialized in seismic technology" admitted Barry
"Seismic Technology?" asked Thea confused
"Fault line, changes in the plates that could cause Earthquakes" Explained Barry
"Right, could you make me a suit?" asked Thea
"Suit?" asked Barry confused
"Like the Hoods" Clarified Thea
"I guess … wait you want to fight crime" Realized Barry
"Think it as Community Service" Shared Thea
"I don't know. Do you even know how to fight?" Stated Barry hesitantly
"I have training, really good at Archer and know how to use a sword" Argued Thea
"Alright. I could make one, but if you want one that is good. I would need better stuff then I get by going to the store" admitted Barry
"What would you need?" asked Thea
"For a good suit? Some Kevlar mainly, that is the stuff that I couldn't get" admitted Barry
"Any ideas of how to get the stuff?" asked Thea
"No clue" admitted Barry
"Great, I guess we can worry about the suit later. We will have to improvise" Stated Thea
"Improvise?" asked Barry
"Got some red spray paint?" asked Thea
(Earth 1) Starling City: Barry's apartment – May 15th, 2013
Barry and Thea had rushed to his apartment after Moira went on the news to reveal that Malcolm Merlyn was going to destroy the Glades.
"I can't believe that my mom was involved too" Stated Thea
"I think we can work this out later, I know the location of the machine" Shared Barry
"Great, you can walk me through how to disarm it?" asked Thea
"I don't have the schematics here; I would need to see it in person" admitted Barry
"I don't know, do you have any combat training?" asked Thea
"Not really, but is our only hope" admitted Barry
"Alright, you got a disguise?" asked Thea
"Yeah, it should work" admitted Barry as he went to his room, returning dressed in all black, with a black hood and a bowstaff
"A bowstaff really?" asked Thea curiously
"I may have had it left over from a high school Halloween party. And it had to be better than nothing" admitted Barry
"I guess" Stated Thea as she got in her costume, which consisted of a pair of jeans, a red hoodie, and a red face mask with a red bow and quiver and a sword
"Are you ready?" asked Thea
"As I will ever be" Stated Barry
(Earth 1) Starling City: Subway
Thea and Barry had entered the Subway, amidst all the panicking in the streets. Barry had the flashlight, while Thea had her bow in her hand. As they approached what they thought was the machine, they were fired upon.
"They are shooting at us" Shared Barry
"You think that I don't know that" Snapped Thea as she fired at the men who were shooting at them as one attempted to sneak up behind and Barry hit him with the bowstaff as a gunshot rang out as Thea turned to see the man attempting to shoot her and stabbed him in the leg with her sword, before she knocked him out
"B" Stated Thea as the shooting continued
"Got hit in the leg, no big deal" admitted Barry as Thea continued to shoot the men, and hit the last one
"Can you stand?" asked Thea as Barry attempted to stand, and could not
"No" Shared Barry
"Then lean on me" Suggested Thea as Barry stood up and leaned on her, as they approached the machine
"Alright, so how are we going to do this?" asked Thea
"We need to patch the blood before anything else" admitted Barry as Thea used her sword to cut a piece off Barry's shirt and used it as a bandage to stop the bleeding
"Alright, now what?" asked Thea
"We can worry about the bullet later. The Machine first, sit me over there" Stated Barry as Thea walked over to where Barry pointed and carefully put him down
"I am going to have to walk you through it" Stated Barry
"Alright, so what first?" asked Thea as Barry walked her through disarming the machine, until he came to the final step
"And you have to cut the red wire" Instructed Barry as Thea cut the wire, and the machine powered down
"Alright, we did it" Stated Thea as she approached him
"We should get you out of here" Stated Thea
"No complaints here" admitted Barry
(Earth 1) Starling City: Barry's apartment
Thea had managed to get Barry back to his apartment, not wanting to risk him being mistaken for being involved with the hood. Luckily, Barry had a first aid kit and Thea had laid him on the bed.
"I think a doctor would be better" argued Barry
"I can do this, and what would you even say?" Argued Thea
"Do you even know how to do this?" asked Barry
"Sort of" admitted Thea
"That does not inspire confidence" admitted Barry
"Can you walk me through it?" asked Thea as Barry sighed
"Alright, what you need to do first is … "Started Barry as he again walked Thea something that night
"Alright, it is done" Stated Thea
"Great" Stated Barry as he yawned and Thea thought about something, before laying on the bed, next to Barry
"Uh, what are you doing?' asked Barry
"I am tired too, and that couch is not comfortable. Plus, I would rather not go home right now" admitted Thea
"I guess" admitted Barry as he yawned, before falling asleep as Thea did the same, and during the night if anyone were looking, they would see Thea cuddling up on Barry's chest
(Earth 1) Starling City
Barry had recovered from his injury and went back to work and no one had suspect anything. Oliver had left town after defeating Malcolm, a portion of the glades were destroyed thanks to a smaller third machine that Malcolm had. Tommy was killed a week later by someone wanting revenge for the damage that was caused, causing the murder's family to die. Barry had made Thea a better suit and she took over protecting Starling now that Oliver was missing.
(Earth 1) Starling City – six months later
Oliver was in the car talking to Diggle and Felicity after they had retrieved him from the Island, after his self-imposed exile.
"How has Thea been?" asked Oliver
"You would know if you had been here" Retorted Felicity
"Felicity" Exclaimed Diggle
"What? It is the truth" admitted Felicity
"She took over Verdant since you left, other than that she has been fine" Revealed Diggle
"Well, I see her spending a lot of time with some guy" admitted Felicity
"What Guy?" demanded Oliver
"I don't know his name. He does look young. He comes by verdant a lot, always waiting for her" Revealed Felicity
"I guess I will have to introduce myself, anything else?" admitted Oliver
"There has been a copycat Archer, not like Merlyn. Red Suit, media calling them Red Hood" admitted Diggle
"I don't want another copycat out there, look into them when we get back" Ordered Oliver
"Of course," Stated Felicity
(Earth 1) Starling City: Verdant
Oliver had entered Verdant at about noon and looked around and saw Thea taking stock of some product. When Thea turned noticing him.
"Oliver" Stated Thea surprised
"Hey Thea" Stated Oliver
"I see that you are back" admitted Thea
"And I see that you took over my nightclub" Stated Oliver
"Someone had to, after you left" Accused Thea as they heard the door open, and saw Barry walking in
"Oh, I will come back" Stated Barry
"Don't worry about him, Barry" Stated Thea as Barry walked in, as Oliver approached him
"Oliver Queen, Thea's brother" introduced Oliver
"Barry Allen" Introduced Barry
"If you excuse me, me and Barry have some place to be" Stated Thea as she dragged Barry out of the room before Oliver could question him some more
(Earth 1) Starling City: Arrow Lair
"What can you find on a Barry Allen?" asked Oliver as Team Arrow meet in the Arrow Lair beneath Verdant
"Let me see …. Alright he is a CSI at the SCPD. Born in Central City on March 14, 1989. Father was framed for the murder of his mother but was released two years ago" Revealed Felicity
"Who is he?" asked Diggle
"That guy that Thea has been hanging around" admitted Oliver angry
"A five-year difference isn't that bad" admitted Felicity as Oliver glared at her
"Anything on this copycat archer?" asked Diggle
"No, whoever they are working with is good. Not a trace of evidence. I did find evidence of when they first appeared" admitted Felicity
"When?" asked Oliver
"The night of the undertaking. During the cleanup, another machine like the one we disarmed was found." Admitted Felicity
"Was it a dud?" asked Diggle
"No, that is the thing. It was disarmed too. And red arrows were found on the scene" admitted Felicity
"You had to have the schematic to disarm it? How did they do it?" asked Diggle
"I don't know. But how did they find out about the machine? We didn't know about a second machine" admitted Felicity
(Earth 1) Starling City: Thea's apartment
Thea and Barry were in her apartment, which she bought shortly after the undertaking. Currently they were practicing dueling.
"I think that training with Lady Shiva paid off" admitted Thea as she won
"I still can't believe that you got her to train you" admitted Barry
"I am Queen, and she need money. I know that she can train you" Shared Thea
"I don't know, I don't really want to go out in the field" Shared Barry as there was a knock at the door, and Thea went to answer it
"Oliver, what are you doing here?" asked Thea as she answered the door
"I want to talk, can I come in?" asked Oliver, as Thea let him, and he spotted Barry
"You remember Barry" Stated Thea
"I do. Can we talk privately?" admitted Oliver
"Barry stays" Countered Thea
"Are you sure?" asked Barry
"Yeah, Stay Barry" admitted Thea as she turned to Oliver who sighed
"Look, Thea I know I haven't been around much recently" Stated Oliver
"And whose fault is that" Retorted Thea
"I needed to get away after everything that happened" Shared Oliver
"You mean not stopping Malcolm from destroying the Glades" admitted Thea as Oliver was shocked
"What are you talking about?" asked Oliver as he feigned confusion
"I know that you are the Hood, Ollie" admitted Thea
"It was kind of obvious" Stated Barry with a shrug
"Fine, I am. How did you find out?" asked Oliver with a sigh
"I didn't think of anything at first. But when me and Barry … got some files from mom's office. We found a video from dad. There was one for you and one for me … "Started Thea
"You are the red archer" Accused Oliver
"I am, and if you can go out and fight crime. Why can't I?" Retorted Thea
"I have trained for it, you haven't" Countered Oliver
"I got training, maybe not the same as you. Plus, with Barry's help I have been fine" Countered Thea
"It is pointless to try to stop her" Shared Barry
"Fine, if you want to fight crime. I will train you and you go out in the field with me" Countered Oliver
"As long as Barry, can help too." Countered Thea
"Fine" Conceded Oliver
