Oliver's POV

They went through the city using back roads. The Glades had not changed much since he left Starling. People were still all over the Glades. Most of them were too poor to own a place in the main part of the city.

It wasn't until they went further into the Glades that he lost where they were. Eventually they stopped in front of an ancient warehouse. It was one that had been abandoned long ago.

The alpha with a scent like an open plain pulled him from the car. Oliver didn't fight instead he scented the air even as two other alphas fell into step behind him. Malcolm's unique scent was dominant in the air. It was like a lunar flowers.

Lunar flowers were a unique flower that only bloomed under the light of a full moon. He had the fortune of laying in them one full moon. It was in Tam Quan during a time where he didn't know if he wanted to live. Those flowers calmed him in a way he never understood. Now he did. His father's scent was just like those flowers.

Something else caught his attention a scent more dominant scent was in the air. It was definitely that of an alpha but this one wasn't known to him. The scent was like a a scorched desert just after sunset.

He didn't get much time to contemplate this. Oliver was pushed through the doors. The first thing he noted was that Malcolm was off to the side. His blue eyes held a deep set worry as they gazed at him.

Another man however drew his attention away from Malcolm. A man stood in a green robe. It was adorned like the man was some kind of royalty. Under the robe he wore black shirt and slacks. On his right hand was a ring that looked to be some kind of demon. Oliver took note of the sword on the others hip. It seemed to be a good length but it was hidden in the robe.

When Oliver met the other's eyes he was surprised. They were grey just like his own since coming back from Medusa. These seemed however to be a more natural grey. Instead of the grey that came with seeing too much.

The man said sounding confused, "You are just a boy."

Oliver replied with a shrug, "I turn 24 in a few months. What does it matter if I am young? People do terrible things no matter their age."

The man said with amusement, "You are right, boy. So you are Delta of Century Team 12. I have to admit I was expecting someone a little more insane."

That was what Panov was for. Then again the man didn't need to know that. He didn't know or trust this man.

Turning to Malcolm he asked, "Who is this? Why am I here?"

Malcolm said glancing to the unknown man, "Oliver this is Ra's Al Ghul leader of the League of Assassins. He is here hunting another but when he learned who you were. He had to meet you."

Oliver said defiantly, "I am not Delta here. I am trying to put that behind me and get on with my life. You will leave both myself and my man alone."

Grey eyes narrowed at the blond haired man. Blue grey eyes stared back in defiance. He would not allow his man to be hurt because of this man. It didn't matter who the man was. They made it back from Medusa and they would not fall because of this man.

Ra's said, "You would go against the League to save your man. You would go against Al Saher who you recently found out is your father. Interesting."

Oliver answered coldly, "When we the rest of the world was against we seven stuck together. When every one else said it was suicide we found success. We are Century Team 12 for a reason. Whether I am saving them from you or the police I will always look after my men."

Zach and the other members of Medusa were under his protection. They fought alongside each other for five years. It was his responsibility to make sure they they stayed safe.

Ra's inquired suddenly, "How do you know he is not an evil person? Someone who should be killed because of the danger he poses?"

Oliver parroted the words that Panov said to him just days prior, "All men have the potential for good and evil. We all have a little of both in us. It is what we do with it that counts. If you kill him for something he could do, makes you no better than those who lives you take. So yes, I believe that he can do good in this world. He just needs to be given the chance. If anyone deserved to be locked up or killed when we came back. It was and is me. Know this however I will not die easily. I still have a man to ensure makes it home to his family."

It was in that moment he wished he still had a weapon. Any weapon would do. However he had the feeling he wouldn't get very far. The three men in black that followed him in were still there. His father was standing off to the side. The look of worry had not faded from his eyes. If anyone knew this man it would be Malcolm Merlyn. If he was worried than Oliver had to be as well.

Ra's seemed to be considering his words. If what he heard about the man was true. Then he was weighing all of his options.

Century Team 12 was well known for doing the exact opposite of what one expected. Despite that they had a reputation of getting things done. They never failed a mission and only once did they come back without one of their people. That was because the man was a traitor and Oliver put a bullet in his brains. That was beside the point however. His men where just that. His. They were under his protection and he would do whatever it took to look after them.

Ra's said breaking him from his thoughts, "I am willing to make a deal with you, Mr. Queen. Your father has already expressed an interest in having you come to Nanda Parbat to heal. If you are willing to spend did six months training with us. I will allow your man to live. Under the condition that he does not prove to be a threat."

Six months of training with this group for Zach's life. He didn't trust them to not go after the rest of his men.

So he countered, "As long as my men don't prove to be a danger you will refrain from going after any of them. I also will be allowed to ensure his safe return. Whether that is back to his family or back to the head doctor."

Their wills clashed slightly. Oliver knew it was a hard bargain. There was a chance the man could tell him no. Then he would have to fight his way out. If he survived that then he still had to deal with Zach.

Ra's said finally, "Agreed but Al Sayf goes with you. As you are right now you could run or be attacked. While our intel says you're the best it's been wrong before. Prove it right. You will be given a week to put your affairs in order and be ready to leave. In that time you find Eden or we will."

The man in question stepped forward. It was the one who had been following him back at the manor. At least he knew he could somewhat deal with this one.

He growled, "Agreed. Where will we meet in one week?"

Ra's looked at Al Sayf and said, "Al Sayf will take you to the meeting spot. I will see you back in Nanda Parbat. Al Saher walk with me. Al Sayf take him back home."

Al Sayf took him by the arm and began to drag him out of the building. As they stepped out Oliver took in where they were. There to the east he could see the clock tower. If he only had a week before he left then he needed to take care of Zach Eden now.

He said, "Instead of taking me home, I am are going to that tower. You can follow but you will not touch Zach."

Sayf's green eyes searched Oliver's blue. There was no emotion that Oliver could read.

Sayf said finally, "If he tries anything I will step in. Otherwise I won't."

With that they began to make their way to the clock tower. Oliver was in the lead. With any luck Zach would be there.

Panov's POV

Since leaving Oliver at his mansion Morris had a bad feeling. It came out of nowhere but he couldn't shake it. Still he made his way back towards his clinic.

Morris still had patients that needed tending back at the clinic. He had done all he could for the Queen scion for the moment. Oliver needed to be with his family. He needed to interact with people from his past. Those had not seen the horrors of war.

Morris worried for the young blond. He didn't think the other was a danger to others. Oliver was more of a danger to himself than anyone. The haunted look that never left the younger man's eyes worried Morris. It combined with the self hatred that radiated off the young man led only to one thing. Suicide. If no one got through to the Queen scion there would be one more tragedy in the tale.

He was pulled from his thoughts by the muffled ringing of his phone. Who would be calling him? Everyone at his clinic knew that he was with a sensitive patient. They knew when he said that he meant Medusans. Not one of them would want to be yelled at by an angry Medusan. They were scary enough without being angry.

He flipped his phone open and answered, "Doctor Panov."

The voice of Quentin Lance came over the speaker, "Thank God. You didn't tell Queen where to find that missing patient?"

Morris started to answer when it clicked in his mind. Oliver found Mr. Eden first. Those two together could take down the entire police force. He could only be thankful that it was Charlie and not Echo. Echo was equally as dangerous as Delta. While he could talk Delta down they preferred to kill from a distance. That would mean the police would be dead before they knew what hit them.

He said coldly, "Don't move in on them. If your men value their lives have them keep their distance. Just tell me where to go."

"Clock Tower in the Glades. What the hell do you mean, doc? If this is the mental patient we need to get him off the streets now."

Morris said as forcefully as he could, "Listen to me closely, Detective. Zach Eden is Charlie of Century Team 12. Oliver Queen is Delta of Century Team 12. Delta was the leader and the most dangerous person to come out of that group. If he was alone there would be a chance to talk Delta down. With one of his men in trouble he will kill anyone who dares get near. Don't move in until I get there."

Lance said his voice a forced calm, "I will do my best. You had better hurry doctor. The men don't like this. Hell I dont like this. We will wait until you get here."
