Unknown location,

It was time. Wade watched the TV as Oliver queen stood in front of Queens Consolidated. Wade glared angrily at the TV, moving towards the chair in the middle of the room. Yes, it was time to up the stakes. Rewinding the old tapes again, Turning he called towards one of his henchmen. Footsteps were heard approaching the Room he was in. A smirk slipped on his face as he stared at the chair in the center.

" Get some rope, were making our next move." He told him. Glancing in the young man's direction. " Thea Queen is going to wish she never met Slade Wilson." Wade whispered softly to himself while watching the TV. He then headed out leaving the warehouse to get into his car. Finding Thea shouldn't be too heard of a problem. Getting to his car, wade slid into the drivers side and sped off towards the Queen mansion.

20 minutes later, the henchmen was outside Thea Queens club. He followed the girl once she came into sight. Moving towards her at a good distance. He watched her. He didn't want to grab her with witnesses around. So following her for a while would have to do. She stopped at a couple stores then a house before leaving a good three hours later. The biggest grin on her face. He saw Slade go in a around 9pm so he knew he'd have to wait for the girl to leave.

Waiting for her was boring but she didn't disappoint. Walking out of the house, He followed her down passed the Queens mansion. Heading towards the glades. This walking around was really tiring out his legs. Grabbing the cloth from his pocket, he dabbed some chloroform onto it readying himself to take her. When Thea turned down an alley he lunged covering her mouth with the cloth. Her body went slack falling against his chest. Quickly picking her up.

He headed towards the car that wade was suppose to put around here for his getaway.

Thea queen woke up tied to a chair in a dark room. Biting her lip, the girl tried keeping her breathing even as she looked around.

Slowly, she eyed the floor where she could see. It was concrete and grayish. That told her she was in either a bunker or warehouse. The last thing she remembers was Slade warning her about Wade and then nothing but darkness. Wincing, Thea looked around the room. Her eyes going towards the door hearing footsteps. Taking a deep breath Thea readied herself for a confrontation with Wade Wintergreen.

Hearing the door opened, Thea looked down at the ground as who she assumed was Wade Walking in.

"Give it a rest Thea I know you're awake" Thea bit back a snarl at the man's voice. Lifting her head, Thea glared at him angrily. He pulled out a chair an sat in front of her. Smiling Softly, he sat down. Putting on her best Slade glare, she spat at him. Wade shot up wiping his face and back handed her across the face. Screaming at her. Thea cried out at the action. Her head whipping back from the impact of his attack. She started crying lightly.

"Don't do that again!" wade growled angrily.

Nodding her head, Thea looked down. She wanted her mom and her brother. She wanted Slade! She whispered softly pressing her lips together in a thin line before crying out when wade grabbed her jaw. " I said shut up!" he screamed his chair falling against the floor. He sent another slap to her face before storming out of the room.

"watch her!"

A couple hours later, Thea woke again from her sleep it was dark the light that was normally bright on her back was off and the warehouse was silent. No sound coming from in the room or out. If she could just reach the pocket knife Oliver had gifted her. Trying to reach it, Thea stretched her arm as far as it would go.

Thea glared angrily, she wanted nothing more then to be back in Slade's arms.

Slade's House

The moment that wade walked into the house as if he owned it, Slade had him slammed against the nearest wall. While Oliver was being held back by Sara and Diggle. Slade's eye narrowed at the man slamming his back against the wall again. Wade only laughed though. " still the same old brute, ah Slade!" That earned wade a punch.

Slade was in a good mood after waking up finding a note on the pillow. Thea had headed to open the club for the night. He called her but got no answer then wade had strolled in with a grin. " can't find you lost lamb comrade" was all he got out before slade had ahold of him. Demanding where she was the other Australian however just smirked.

" sorry but no can do Wilson."

Slade snarled angrily releasing the Australian. Sending wade a swift kick. The force of the kick broke the wall sending wade straight through it. The ex ASIS soldier started laughing as Slade stormed towards him. Slade's fist slammed into wade's jaw. The ex agents head snapped back from the impact. Grabbing wade by his jacket, he slammed his fist in the man's face again Slade forced him against the wall.

" Where is she"

Wade's face was bloody, his eye swollen from Slade's punches, He had a split lip an a swollen cheek. He grinned at Slade in amusement. " you'll never find her. Though she's not the one woman in your life" he Smirked, Slade glared angrily towards wade. He released wade shoving him away an stepped back towards Oliver and Sara.

"Where is Thea!" Sara snarled. Her hand gripping the knife at her back.

Unknown location

Footsteps echoed on the floor, Theas head shot up quickly an reached for her knife finally cutting the rope. Wade should not have underestimated her. Slowly Thea started to stand up, her body ached from wade's beatings. Slowly she headed for the door, sneaking out Thea checked the hallway before moving down the hall.

Thea slowly walked being careful not to be to loud, she didn't need wade's guards finding out that she escaped.

Thea turned a corner and saw another door like hers. Walking towards it, Thea gasped seeing Joe's mother. "oh god" Thea quickly went into the room. Running towards Slade's ex wife she gently tapped her cheek. " Adeline, hey Addy" Thea whispered. Moving around her Thea wasted no time to cut the older woman out of her bounds.

Heaving her arm around her shoulder, Thea headed for the door when she heard sniffling then. Tiny voice. "don't leave me" whipping her head around Thea saw a little boy, the spitting image of Joe. She gulped. " okay come on, are you untied?" he shook his head. Gently Thea set Adeline down to lean against the wall.

She moved towards the boy an cut the ropes around him. " okay. We got to help mommy and be quiet." Thea smiled lightly when he nodded. Again lifting Adeline an wrapping the older woman's arm around her shoulder. Thea gently grabbed the boys hand as she also gripped Adeline's waist. Okay now they could leave. Hopefully no one passed by seeing the door opened.

Finding her Way towards the entrance, it was hard due to entire warehouse being pitch black. But thankfully wade and his cronies were to cocky for their own good. She was able to get both Adeline and her son out of the warehouse. " my car, right there" Thea heard Adeline say. Theas only thought when she heard Adeline's voice was 'We're in Australia!' though that was good.

That meant A.S.I.S. was near, they could get sanctuary. Thea asked Adeline where the ASIS building was and the Australian told her the coordinates. So after Thea got them into the car , she floored it to Albany. Glancing at Adeline, her bruising was worse then Theas. Her eyes moved to the backseat, the little boy was thankfully sound asleep.

"we're almost there" she whispered softly gripping the steering wheel. Her knuckles started turning white from how hard she gripped the wheel. Glancing towards Adeline again, Thea turned into the A.S.I.S building parking lot. It was pitch black out, only a small light on in the building. Gently, Thea shook Adeline awake. " we're here" she whispered.

Adeline nodded turning to grab the little boy from the backseat. She nodded towards Thea whispering softly to get out of the car slowly. She did, opening the door slowly as she moved to step out. Adeline rounded the car with her son in her arms. The older woman quickly checked Thea's face. A frown on her own face. "He hurt you" Adeline asked, her lip curling in degust at the thought.

" just hit me a lot, screamed a couple times" Thea hugged herself tightly as they approached the main doors, her voice was soft a mere whisper. Adeline pulled Thea into a one-armed hug. "you'll be safe here. Until your family can know your alive." Thea turned sharply towards Adeline at her words. What did that mean? She would be safe. Thea went to speak but Adeline beat her to it.

"the warehouse we were in exploded an hour after we were able to escape. "

Thea's eyes widened at that. That meant they would have died. Wade was going to kill them to get back at Slade. Theas eyes watered realizing soon once the news broke that Oliver, Sara and Slade, everyone was going to think she was dead. Oh god Slade was going to think she was dead. Her body fell to the ground as sobs wracked her body.

" oh god."

Adeline's watched as agents surrounded them, handing one her son and nodding towards Thea. " keep them safe. I have to go to the states and warn my ex husband." Adeline started when her eldest son ran towards her speeding his way towards Thea Queen. "Thea!" the young girls head shot up and she bolted towards Joe. His arms wrapped around her. Well I guess Thea was going home dinner than she thought.

Joe would not want her out of his sight. " come on. She's going to have to play dead." Adeline said.

"At home with her family!" joe retorts. Nodding, Adeline smirked. " you are your father's son"

Starling City,

In other news, a warehouse in Albany Australia was blown away earlier today.

It was leaked from a unknown sources that Thea Queen along with The Wife of a former decorated Australian military officer was also inside when it exploded.

We prey for these lost souls and offer our condolences to their families.

Oliver stared in shock at the news report. Thea was dead his eyes closed as he heard the unmistakable sound of Slade's enraged Snarl. A cracking sound soon followed as the kitchen table Thea had picked out was destroyed in the Australians fury. The former castaway winced feeling a piece of wood hit his back.

Slightly, Oliver turned towards his brother in all but blood an slowly approached him.

Sara was standing in the kitchen staring at the rubble that was ones Slade's kitchen table. His eyes found felicity, who was crying softly. God what are they going to tell his mom. This was to much. Slowly he rubbed his face moving to pat Slade's shoulder lightly. Slade tensed an Oliver quickly backed up, moving away from Slade.

"im going to kill him kid. I swear I'm going to put my sword through his bloody eye!"

The vigilante just nodded slowly listening to Slade's vow. Remembering another vow. Fear gripped his heart lightly glancing at the Australian. The promise Slade had vowed to him in the sinking Azamo. Shaking his head lightly, Oliver stopped his thoughts. Slade was cured he was fine now. Nothing was going to happen.

"What happened to my Table!"

Oliver and the residents of the Wilson household spun around to see Thea standing there in the middle of the kitchen staring at what was once her stainless wood carved table. Her shock then turned to anger. She crossed her arms an glared at Oliver, who was looking at her in wonder. A throat cleared before Thea could speak.

" sadly the news report was faster then us" a female voice spoke up. Oliver's brows arched in confusion before the sound of Slade appeared at his side. He turned towards Oliver then to the new comers. His good eye widening at the sight of Thea queen. He took a step forward, his hand reaching out towards her.

"Thea…"
