Thea kept looking around trying to get out of her situation, at least to get some clothes on. When she turned forward again the door swung open. A young blonde walked through. The blonde closed the door behind her, and turned towards Thea. Blondie had a blanket in her hands.
"Ms. Queen, if you promise not to try anything, I can untie you and cover you with this blanket. I have been ordered to bring you to my boss." The girl took a step forward and then waited for Thea's response. Thea watched her curiously. The girl seemed to only be for making females comfortable. But then again, what kind of person strips a girl and allows them to cover up?
With a sigh Thea answered, "Fine. I won't try anything. But I want it on record that i do not want to go anywhere near your boss. I am only going because i want answers." This made the blonde smirk. Setting the blanket down on the table near them, she began to untie the ropes. She did all of this in silence, getting Thea down, wrapping her in the blanket and leading her through the halls. Before they came to the final room, Thea had to ask.
"What's your name? And are you seriously working for this guy willingly?"Thea stopped refusing to go any further until she got her answers. The blonde stopped as well and tilted her head. With a small smile she replied.
"No i don't work for him willingly. And my name? I have no idea what it is. My brain was damaged in a car crash. I woke with amnesia, in a cell. My boss was watching me sleep. He refused to tell me anything about my past. Either he doesn't know or he doesn't want me to know. I have tried to escape. He always catches me. Can we go now?" Hearing that made Thea compliant. Thea began to wonder what that would be like, not knowing who she was. She couldn't fathom it. Before Thea knew it they were in an office.
While Thea took in the office, the amnesiac left the room and closed the door after her. The office was spacious, warm and welcoming. Not what you expect for keeping captives. The walls were painted a deep red, kinda like Roy's suit. There was a fireplace built into the wall opposite the door, velvet chairs were in a circle around it. One wall had a window that met with the ceiling and overlooked the harbor. There was a desk in the middle of the room. A lamp and a tablet was on the desk, other then that it was bare.
When Thea looked to the desk she took a step back in shock. Sitting in the chair behind the desk was Mark. Seeing her shock, Mark smiled. At least that's what Thea hoped. Wrapping the blanket tighter around her, Thea came closer. She may have been a little girl when Mark and Oliver met but she still remembered him.
Mark motioned for her to sit while he opened his tablet and began working on it. Thea sat in the chair across from him and waited. Impatiently. After a few moments Mark turned the tablet towards her. On the screen was two different videos. It was security footage of two different people. The one on the left showed Felicity while the one on the right showed Laurel. Both chained up. Felicity in the chair, immobile, and Laurel tied to a wooden chair.
Pointing to Laurel, Thea pointed this out to Mark. "Not exactly the best idea. She could very well break the chair and escape."
Mark nodded. "Oh, I know. I am hoping that Oliver finds her first. I need his help. Maybe if i give him one of you he will cooperate. I was hoping that you could be a liaison of sorts. Talk to him through video, or over the phone. Keep him calm, make this easier. Only once he helps me will you return home. I do apologize for your clothes. That was your guard's choosing. I could get you some clothes if you want."
Thea glared at him. Of course she wanted clothes. And what could he possibly need Ollie's help with? Mark smiled at her glare, getting up to call someone to get her clothes.
"I understand that you don't like me right now. I am just trying to get your brother's attention. The things that need to be done to complete his end are things that he wouldn't willing do without pressure. In other words, he needs to kill people in order to help." Mark had sent for someone before turning back to Thea and continuing explaining himself.
Thea let out a humorless laugh. "My brother wold only kill another person to save my life. If he had no other option he would. Helping you? To bring me home? Not a chance. If you can capture me, Laurel and Felicity, wait for my brother to find us, and do all of this calmly, what could you possibly need his help for?"
Mark gave her a sad smile. Just as he sat back down the door opened. The amnesiac brought in an outfit for Thea, smiled at her, and left. All without a word or glance to Mark. Thea leaped at the clothes. Keeping the blanket around her, glad it was so much bigger than her, she got dressed. Mark let out a huff.
"I need his help to bring someone back to me. She is one of the most important people in my life. I need her returned to me. I can only bring her home with Oliver's help. His training. I only hope that he will allow me to explain before he reacts." Mark was about to say more when a cry of triumph came through the tablet.
Laurel was free. And she wasn't alone. An archer stood by the door waiting for her. Only thing was, the archer was in red, not green. Mark narrowed his eyes in frustration. Picking up a radio from the desk he called to his baby brother. "Brian, is he there at all?"
Mark waited a few moments before flicking through the cameras to see for himself where Oliver was. A moment after the radio came to life.
"I hope you have an excellent reason for taking these women. If not, be prepared for a lot of pain. " came the growl. Thea smirked.
Oliver had found them.
AN: Sorry for the wait. Not the best with words. Anyway, things just got interesting. I will explain what happened with the boys. Promise. Brian is with Felicity btw.
