Soon enough six months had gone by, and Dinah, Rene and Curtis were in on Protect Rose Wilson mission. Roy had finally finished baby proofing the condo with Rose now crawling that was a good thing. She went everywhere. Thea would have to race after her and snatch her up before she fell or crawled Into the closets. Six months old and was already into things. Oliver came by everyday after being in the office and helping in the bunker. Felicity was the only one still in the dark. Oliver tried to get Thea to allow it but Thea was still worried Felicity not approving or worse Felicity being angry at Rose due to who her father was.

They even fought about it when Rose's birth certificate was sent in for them a fake one was also sent to the hospital where she was born to help hide and give a false trail to the people after her.

Thea was shocked nearly dropping the letter that Adeline sent them. Seeing her name under the name of God mother, Oliver of course was named God father. That had Thea crying, a man she hated and couldn't stand had made her the god mother of his child. Oliver hugged her gently not showing how much it was affecting him as well. Slade Wilson was not a trusting man in life but making both queens God parents of his daughter was giving trust.

That's when Ollie asked if they could tell Felicity, both Thea and Sara said no. He literally got double teamed! Sara glared and had asked if he was insane while Thea pointed out that Felicity might do it for him but her normal snide remarks of the blonde's non approval would be a constant thing if they told her and Thea wasn't about to deal with Felicity's hate Slade Wilson train.

Granted, Thea wasn't a fan of Slade Wilson but now that they have Rose, Oliver has been opening up about the "good time's" on the island with Slade and Shado. Telling Rose stories of her father, him and their friend Shado. She caught Ollie laying with Rose in her room regaling about Slade teasing Oliver, something about Ollie trying to get a fire going and Slade had a lighter the entire time. What an asshole. Thea thought as she cleaned the kitchen.

So, no Thea was inclined to let Felicity know about Rose just yet. Though she knows they can't hide her forever. With Roy spoiling her apparently, the baby needs to celebrate her six months arrival according to uncle Roy. So a birthday party was being planned for today because Roy had to spoil the baby. She was finally six months. Thea didn't understand the big deal but she loved Roy.

"That does not go there!" Thea yelled towards Roy and William, who were putting it black balloons in the kitchen.

Seriously, just seriously!

Thea thought. She just wanted to be able to set up the baby party and be done with it.

"Thea! Is the food done yet!" she rolled her eyes at Oliver, muttering.

" everything, I give you the green arrow!" that earns her a mock glare from her brother and she just smirks.

Everyone was so busy setting up the party, Roy and William were doing the balloons, Diggle was fixing the cake. Even though Thea wasn't Putting Rose on solids until she was One years old. Rose was getting melted ice cream for her party food. Oliver was busy going back and forth with trays while Sara played with Rose in the living room. So, no one noticed the door opening and closing until Felicity's voice rang out.

"Thea! Oliver! Felicity called.

Everyone froze turning to look at Thea, who sighed annoyed. "fine we'll tell her!" Calling her into the kitchen, Thea sighed lightly and moved towards the blonde once she was in sight of her.

Greeting her, Felicity asked where's she's been for these past months and Thea felt like a deer in headlights. Thea took her aside and sat down explaining everything, Slade, to his enemies being after Rose and Adeline leaving Rose in Thea's care. Felicity's face went from calm to disbelief to angry then to neutral. Her eyes were narrowed on Thea, who was not backing down.

"Your taking care of Slade's baby!"

The scream was uncalled for, Thea thought with a wince and glared at Felicity.

"um weren't you the one to tell Ollie to help him with Joe?" Felicity scuffed at that detail and quickly told her she still hadn't been happy about it. This had Thea scuffing next. As Sara walked in carrying Rose.

"The man held a sword to my throat!" Oliver quickly added his two cents. That Slade was under the influence of mirakuru at the time. Felicity than brought up a conversation that her and Diggle had while Ollie had been in Kesnia with Wilson. How he was wasn't on it when he abandoned them on lain Yu during the chase fiasco. That comment had Thea seething Because she had been there.

"you mean after you told him we didn't need his help. You mean that time?" Thea said smugly. She remembers that conversation. Slade commented that they weren't leaving until he found Oliver and William, Felicity's smart ass remark and then the bomb drop, literally finding out there's bombs everywhere and Felicity, what thought Slade would help after her 'we don't need you' attitude. Only seconds before. Even Thea wasn't that dumb. He was only there cause of Ollie, only helped them for Ollie.

Slade wasn't the kind of man to be brushed off and forgive it. Though, Ollie had said Slade had found her and Samantha first which means he came back.

"we didn't!"

"And then you did and expected it. Slade Wilson was not a trusting man you tell him to fuck off and then ask for help minutes later" Sara scuffed at Felicity shaking her head before walking down the hall. Thea shook her head as well when Felicity complained about him saying they wouldn't have made it to the Argus supply ship. Laughing at the hinted 'fuck you' he gave them basically. That was definitely a fuck you towards Felicity.

" you would have made it with him, but he didn't want to help you if you weren't willing to follow him!" Oliver exploded. Angry at himself due to being mad at Slade when he found out the Australian left them alone. Now knowing why did he what he did made him even angrier. Felicity couldn't put her differences aside for Oliver, for one day so they could all get to safety. Thea sighed.

" probably wasn't just that, Slade most likely didn't trust them not to try and kill him"

The acceptance on Oliver's face when Thea said that was a shock. She had known Slade didn't trust easy but…that was definitely… well she couldn't wrap her head around it. Oliver noticed her look of confusion.

"everybody is in this life for themselves" Oliver whispered. The echoes of a life lesson Slade had taught him that, the Australian had learnt the hard way when Billy betrayed him. "I was the only person he trusted after Billy's betrayal." Those words seemed to set in Felicity. She wasn't okay with it but if Oliver was then she would deal.

Again, Thea rolled her eyes annoyed at Felicity due to her lack of empathy for a child.

But she would take what she could get!

Unknown location, Two day's later

" Slade's dead and you can't find one child!" the room was silent as Julian wintergreen yelled angrily. The brother of Billy wintergreen narrowed his eyes on the men in the room before pacing back and forth. Every man's report of locating the baby had been a dead end. As he wasn't with Slade's ex wife or his parents. It seemed she wasn't with any relatives. Julian was not dumb though.

" have you checked friends, distant relatives!"

"Yes sir and still no trace" The man reported.

Julian sighed, he hadn't wanted this search to go this long. It's already been six months since he killed Slade and now baby Rose was still no where to be found. "no one has brought home a new baby in the past six months" another minion said, pausing mid step, Julian turned towards the hired gun and smirks. "what about his enemies?" That had everyone bursting into action band running to have that checked out before the day was out.

Julian sighed, moving to sit down looking at his second target that he would be going after.

A photo of Oliver Queen.

With Slade Wilson gone, Billy's killer was dealt with next was the reason he was killed. Revenge was ever so sweet. He thought with a grin. Now all he had to do was find Rose Wilson and then he could go after Queen. Hm, maybe recruiting Joe Wilson would be beneficial. Yes, that's a good idea. He thought as the doors opened.

"anything!"

"nothing sir!"

"Than keep looking!"

Central City, Star labs.

Felicity had left star City after her confrontation with the Queen siblings. Venting to Barry about Slade's death and the baby. The speedster stayed silent showing no sign of how annoyed Barry was worried because she literally is telling and venting to everyone after telling them the baby's identity was suppose to be a secret.

"so, Thea took in Wilson's kid to protect her" Barry stated, he smiled. It was big of Thea to do something like that.

A glare was sent his way by Felicity " yes, she shouldn't have to endure this!"

Barry glanced at Cisco, who shrugged. " it's actually shows how much of a good person she is" the young man said.

That had Felicity nodding. That was True, Thea caring for Rose was showing just how grown up Thea was becoming. She was a mother now to Slade's child. Protecting an innocent life from those that wishes her harm. Felicity did understand what Barry was saying. They could not like and hate Slade, even in death but Rose was innocent. She didn't deserve their anger towards the Australian.

"So, Rose is innocent in all this" Felicity asked.

"well she is only six months old and wasn't around during the siege" Cisco said sarcastically.

Felicity rolls her eyes, glaring at the man before turning back towards Barry. Barry sighed lightly, Everybody makes mistakes, even he's made mistakes, so has Roy, Thea and Oliver. Choices they all regret. Maybe Slade did too. Felicity clinging to her hatred of a dead man was just getting ridiculous. A couple more hours of Felicity talking about Rose. Barry had listened politely before the I.T. girl left back to Star City.

"Rose doesn't leave this room." Barry said. Cisco nodded. Neither of them willing to be the cause of Slade's enemies finding the child.

~•~ ~•~

Australia,

"Julian wintergreen is searching for the girl"

Adeline Kane sighed lightly, she knew he would make a move, turning she moved towards the agent and asked for an update. So far, Julian had been looking with all their friends and family. Adeline's parents and Slade's. Grant was definitely not in their radar but it seems Joe was. Her head shot up at the mention of her eldest child. "Hes looking to recruit Joe?" the disbelief in her tone caused the agent to laugh.

"well the last time him and Slade saw each other, Joe tried killing his father."

Yes, Adeline thought. She remembers that encounter with father and son. Joe was lost to darkness. Lost in Deathstrokes rage and hate. He would jump at the chance to hurt his father even if his father was already dead. She would have to speak to him about the latest developments. Grant was already suspicious.

Walking towards the gym, Adeline sighed lightly. Why he came back here after everything was a mystery to her but at least she didn't have to go far to speak with him. Resting a hand on the gym door. Adeline look a breath before opening it. The light of the hallway crept into the darkness of the gym, the sound's of smacking and the punching bag swinging echo's in the room. Adeline slowly stepped inside, the doors swinging closed shadowing her in darkness. Keeping him hidden was getting annoying.

"Julian is on the move" her words were a whisper but the sudden silence in the room. Adeline knew he heard her. The man turned, still covered by darkness. Adeline really wanted the light on but he would be angry. "what's happened?" the man then resumes his workout. Rolling her eyes, Adeline lists everything Julian has done in the past six months. Informing him that brother of Billy had no luck finding Rose with Slade's family or hers.

"hell be searching our enemies next."

More punching then Adeline glared. " but he doesn't know where she is yet?"

Nodding, Adeline said yes. Though it was only a matter of time. The man chuckled lightly. " warn them and give them more information on Julian." The man then silently moved away leaving out the back door of the gym. Adeline breathes a sigh of relief. Great. Back to Star city it was.
