Thea's Solution
For Roy
Disclaimer: I got to thinking about this recently and thought it made more sense then Roy running off to hide away after getting Bloodlust after being revived Pre-Crisis.
"Okay, let's take a moment and a few deep breaths, so the Lotus failed to get rid of the Bloodlust, we can still deal with this." Thea told her very worried Boyfriend, Roy 'Arsenal' Harper.
And like him, was wondering if the Genius' they knew had over looked something where any potential side effects were concerned after no longer having Mirakuru. Were she able and unlikely to stab him repeatedly, Thea would ask Slade about the subject considering his own exposure and being cured. Roy looked to his Girlfriend before speaking. "I think it might be best if I left, not for my safety but for yours and Nyssa's."
"My safety needn't be your concern, Roy. And running is not the solution." Nyssa told him sternly.
"She's right, Roy, and… Wow, I just got an idea."
The two looked at Thea, each of them wondering what said idea is. "We know Sara's also had to deal with this kind of thing too, right?"
The two looked at one another and then back at Thea. "Yeah, that's right."
"You think she either took Lotus herself or found another means?" Nyssa asked and the younger Woman nodded.
"I do, and I'm gonna get ahold of her to find out what she did."
"Thea, I hate to tell you this, but no one really knows how to get ahold of her." Roy told her.
"Well, that's not true. Felicity or the guys in Central know so just let me make some calls, okay? We'll get you through this, Roy, I promise." She told him while hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.
Her imploring look also helped to get him to go along with this plan of hers while Nyssa tried not to look too eager about seeing her Beloved again. A short time later after a few Phone Calls would see a familiar Ship make its arrival at the Camp Site the trio were located at, shocking both Nyssa and Roy considerably considering they'd never seen the Waverider before. "Sara is on that… Thing?" Questioned Nyssa as she and the other two watched the Ship land.
Thea nodded with a smile on her lips. "Yep! She's even the Captain too."
"Well, she's certainly moved up." Muttered Roy as a minute later, Sara herself was coming off of the Ship.
"Well, if it isn't three of some of my favorite People in the World." Declared Sara with a smile as she came up the trio and hugged each of them.
Though the hug with Nyssa was perhaps a little longer than what it was with Thea and Roy. "Heard you got some control problems again, Roy." Sara said to him after the hug with Nyssa was over with.
The weary Archer just nodded. "Yeah, just my luck."
She smiled in sympathy. "Well, it just so happens I have a remedy for that. A special mix of Herbs and Meditation that I learned from Ra's."
Nyssa looked at the Woman who would always hold her Heart in confusion while Roy looked pretty uncertain about that particular remedy. "How is that possible?"
"I hate to break it to you but considerin' what we're doin', I don't think we have the time for those things."
"Good thing it helps I'm the Captain of a Ship that travels through Time then, huh?"
Thea chose to buff her Nails with poorly hidden Amusement as she and Sara waited for Roy and Nyssa to react as they looked at one another and then back to the Blonde. "I'm sorry…" Began Roy.
"But have you hit your head recently, Beloved?"
Snorts of Laughter came from Thea as Sara shook her head in amusement. "No, not lately and even if I did, Gideon would've already taken care of it in the Medbay before I came out here. Come on, I'll take you guys for a Tour and then we'll focus on you, Roy."
"Oh, this is gonna be awesome! I've only been on the Waverider once and that was after the Dominators took us." Thea enthusiastically declared since at least this time that wouldn't be an issue!
"That's the spirit!"
And after the Nickel and Dime Tour complete with an Adventure or two, along with some minor Tension between Nyssa and Ava where Sara was concerned, Roy would get the help he needed. Something that would take a few years to do and would be done at some point in the future to make things easier. And once that was done, the trio were back on the Road to ridding the World of the Lazarus Pits and Wally 'Kid Flash' West would even join them as his Speed would come in handy in dealing with any traps that may be around.
Author's Notes: Hope folks enjoyed and I'm glad I finally got this written.
