A/N: So with the COVID-19 thing going on, my started a learn from home problem which means more time to do other things. I decided that you guys will get a quicker update than normal. If anyone can guess who the man in green from last time was hats off to you. A hint for all the others is that he was an enemy of both Robert Queen and Oliver Queen. As usual, I do not own DC comics, nor do I own CW.
Nyssa and Talia were leading Sara, Slade, and Oliver down a corridor when the five of them entered a big room leading to a court yard with a large mat in the middle. In the courtyard, there was a massive archery and a shooting range with up to distances of 150 yards. Along one side, there were as many weapons as you could possibly imagine from escrima sticks all the way to massive broadswords and everything in between. On the other side, there were wooden dummies and Nyssa and Talia walked into the room, the assassins that were training stopped what they were doing and nealed to the two of them waiting for orders.
"Everyone out of the room now and put your weapons back where you got them!" Talia orders in Arabic and the assassins leave the room quickly after her orders, putting everything back where they got it. Once everyone is gone except for the five of them Talia and Nyssa turn to look at the other three. "Where did we first meet?" Talia questions Oliver not knowing if they remembered or not.
"We met in Russia where Anatoly introduced us for you to train me." Oliver answers in russian knowing that the question was a challenge. Nyssa and Talia relaxed as they moved to hug their respective partners and gave each of them a kiss. "What happened? Why do you look different than before?" Oliver questioned Talia. "You used to have brown eyes, but now you have even prettier green eyes." Oliver said admiring the small changes, but still wanting to know what happened.
"Flattery will get you everywhere with me beloved. However, Nyssa and I are now twin sisters and because of that we believe we are in an alternate universe." Talia answered while giving Oliver a look that said things will happen later. Nyssa and Sara were amused when Slade spoke up wanting to get this over with and end Oliver's flirting.
"Stop flirting and let's get to the mat so I can even up our score." Slade said he still wanted to beat Oliver in front of his girlfriend. Talia looked at Oliver and asked him. "Does he remember as well?"
"No he doesn't. However, we told Slade, Shado, and Yao Fei our story in order for them to know why we can fight so well." Oliver looked over at Slade analyzing him before turning back to Oliver.
"Alright. You three still need to go through initiation. We have a plan to claim you three as our personal bodyguards to keep you close and an alibi as to why you would stay in our rooms." Oliver hugged her after hearing that then grabbed a sword and headed to the mat to challenge Slade. Oliver had an even bigger motive to show off and beat Slade now. Sara wanted to make a bet with Nyssa and turned to look at her.
"You want to make a bet on who would win?" Sara asked with a smirk. "The winner will have to take the other on a date and serve the other for a day." Nyssa looked at Sara with a thoughtful look before answering.
"You have a deal. I believe Slade will win. He seems just as good if not better than our original universe. Nyssa said because she believed Slade would win.
"You should have more faith in your husband Nyssa. He is obviously going to win with Talia watching on." Sara said as Nyssa glared at her for mentioning that.
"Would you two lovebirds shut up. They are starting the fight." Talia snapped at the two as they were distracting her. The other two looked at her and found her staring at Oliver. They both looked at each smirked and then started watching Oliver and Slade fight. Oliver and Slade started launching attacks at each other at a furious pace. They were going so fast that only the most experienced could keep up. The two went back and forth on the mat switching between offence and defence at a moments notice. Suddenly, Slade went for a stab at Oliver who twisted around it and knocked Slade onto his stomach. He then got on top of Slade's back and held his sword at Slade's neck.
"Yield." Oliver said with a smile at his victory. Slade tried to get out of it, but couldn't as Oliver kept his hands down with his knees.
"Fine you win this one." Slade said as Oliver got up. He then walked over to Talia with a smile and gave her a kiss. The five of them then spent the next few hours before Nyssa and Talia said that was enough and led them to Ra's for the next part of their plan.
Three months later, Oliver and Talia were heading back from a mission and walked into the throne room to report on their success. When they got to the room they were surprised to see Emiko Queen in the room kneeling in front of Ra's Al-Ghul. "My lord I have important news to report from the Ninth Circle. Your eldest daughter is planning to take over the Triad to raise her power base along with her husband Komodo." Emiko told him from her kneeling position.
"You have given me something to think about . Go back to your place and report back in three months time to report more. You have done well so far. Do not mess it up." Ra's told her. Emiko nodded before getting up and turning around to walk out. As she turned around, she recognized Oliver with his hood down and snarled at him wondering what he was doing. Oliver didn't recognize her as she still had her hood up. Oliver and Talia just stood back as she walked past them with Oliver and Talia wondering who she was. They put it out of their mind before walking up to Ra's.
After they were done with the report, they walked out and were intercepted by the person they had seen before. She pushed Oliver against the wall as Talia pulled out her sword to protect her love. Oliver raised his hand to stop her. "What the hell do you want?" Oliver demanded from his assailant
"What the hell is a playboy like you doing in a place like this?" The attacker demanded as Oliver finally recognized the voice but kept his cool.
"I was rescued from an island by Talia and Nyssa and taken here. I was forced to join or die. Who are you?" Oliver said, telling the story the five of them had come up with. The attacker took off her hood before talking again.
"I am your half sister that our father never wanted. My name is Emiko Queen." Emiko finally spit wanting to kill him right there. She hated the fact that she was never accepted into the family even when Thea was accepted by him.
"I do not control my father. However, before he committed suicide, he said he had made many mistakes." Oliver started as Emiko was stunned, "I will assume that you are one of them and I want to make it up to you. I already know Thea is also a bastard and I still love her. I want to get to know you as family." Oliver finished softly wondering what Emiko was going to do now.
Emiko was stunned and let off of Oliver. Talia relaxed as she did, also wondering what Emiko would do. Talia wondered where Emiko was in their original universe or if she even existed. Emiko finally decided on a course of action and hugged Oliver. All she wanted was to be accepted. She joined the league to escape the pain and defend herself.
Oliver was stumped, but hugged her back. He really did want to accept her. "It's OK Emiko." Oliver assured her. "I won't leave you behind." He said as Emiko buried her head into his shoulder. "Come on. Let's go to Talia's room for you to compose yourself." Oliver before looking at Talia and motioning for her to lead them. Talia was touched by Oliver's compassion even after the 'brainwashing' the league gave him, he held strong keeping his personality just for her. Sara did the same thing for Nyssa, whereas Slade has become fully involved in the league not totally being himself anymore.
Nyssa and Sara were waiting in Talia's living room waiting for the two to come back from their mission. They were talking to each other when they saw Talia enter the room. They saw Talia put a finger on her lips and they quieted when they saw Oliver walk in carrying an asleep female in his arms. Nyssa and Sara looked at Talia questioning who that was. Oliver walked back into the living room in the apartment. "Alright. The person who you just saw is my half sister." Oliver said. Sara went to speak up when Oliver held a finger up. "She is just like Thea. However, my father abandoned her and didn't accept her as his. I plan to correct that and allow her into our family. She's lived a hard life and needs some family." Oliver finished. Sara was pleased with Oliver's acceptance of her, but did not like the fact that his family had even more secrets.
"I will help her as well. She will become a part of our little family." Sara said wanting to help and liking their expanding family.
"Shado is in danger as well. Nyssa and Talia's sister plan on taking over the triad to release the bioweapon and expand her power base. However, we have no idea if Ra's is going to send us to stop her." Oliver said, concerned about Shado and Yao Fei. Sara was surprised about it and wanted to help them out. They were talking to each other when an assassin knocked on the door and said "Ra's Al-Ghul requests the presence of all of you including Al Jasus." The assassin then left the door as The four of them looked at each before Oliver went to go wake Emiko up.
"As Talia and Al Sahim heard, my eldest plans to take over the Triad. I want the five of you to go to China and take out the Triad before she can get there. You five are my Elite task force and you need everything in your power to stop Akilah. Now go get anyone you want to accompany you, but keep it a small group." Ra's told them before dismissing them.
A/N: Wow. Nearly 2,000 words this chapter. You guys really get a good present. Emiko is now an ally to them and not an enemy. She is a spy for the ninth circle now. Things are about to heat up with their first meeting with Akilah in the next chapter. I am going to go ahead and say that there will be no smut in this story, maybe in another story in future. As always, thanks for the support on my first story and any reviews are appreciated.
