Chapter 12

The Troubles

Of Kidnapping

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here, now let's roll on!

April 30th, 2011 Saturday at the Queen Mansion around 8:30 PM

A couple of days later after the events involving Marrick Benson, two Central City Detectives, their CSI, and Queen Consolidated IT member Felicity Smoak that would later feature Detective Lance getting on tv to issue a warning to the two mysterious vigilantes who'd been involved with stopping Marrick Benson saw one Oliver Queen relaxing in the living room on the sofa. Lupus the young Huskie softly snoring next to him as he kept his focus on a notebook he was currently writing in. Something Veller had suggested he do involving any of his thoughts. Though a lot of the time he tended to find himself writing a lot about Lian Yu more than anything else and a stray thought at one point had come to him about publishing it and then scoffing over it as he doubted many would be able to handle, much less believe any of it. Not to mention Waller likely having a damn hissy fit over certain information being placed in it. Not that he would have cared of course but at the same time he wasn't looking to have her come around to his home thank you very much!

Thea on more than one occasion had already tried to take a sneak peak while he'd been in the middle of writing. Making him take action to ensure any writing he did happened when he knew his little sister wasn't around! Like tonight as she was out and about watching some new movie premiere with a couple of friends and John Diggle watching over them. She'd always pout anytime he caught her and told her any peaks wasn't happening as she wasn't ready to see what was in the pages of his notebook and had to even remind her of several things he'd already mentioned to her. Which on the last instance actually managed to get a promise from her to stop as the reminder had sobered her up pretty well in why it was a bad idea to get any peeks. Tommy had even wanted to check it out but Oliver had firmly shut him down on that one much to his own disappointment. Making the former castaway wonder just why the Hell he and Thea were so damned curious!

Tommy's only response is that he just wanted to understand things a little better since he knew his brother in all but blood couldn't always talk about it with anyone except for maybe his own therapists. That had honestly surprised Oliver but he could only say that maybe one day he would be able to talk about it in full with him and his family, something Tommy thankfully understood. Some of his writing tended to be about Shado as well, which was another reason he didn't want his sister or Tommy reading his thoughts as the stuff about her was just too damn personal to even be seen by anybody else as he often wondered how things would be if she was still alive to this day. I miss you Shado… Hell I even miss the Slade we both knew before your death…

Lupus barking lowly in his sleep drew the former castaway from his thoughts as he looked towards his little friend with a small smile on his lips. Petting him gently so as not to wake the little guy up, Oliver couldn't help but feel grateful for having Lupus in his life even if he had wound up getting him in a really strange way. As sometimes the Huskie could calm him in ways he had trouble explaining until Anna had explained it to him as the very special bond one developed with their pet. The breaking of glass had him suddenly snapping his head in the direction of it and even waking up Lupus who jumped off the couch to go and find the intrusion with Oliver not too far behind. Near the front doors one of the glass panes was broken in one place and noticing a brick with what looked to be paper attached to it had Oliver crouching down to pick it up. He brought up closer to his eyes to inspect it with a frown on his face and gently pulling off the paper from the brick, he dropped it and then started to read what was on the paper itself.

Hey Queen! The New World Order doesn't like the unity s**t you're doing

so we're gonna do something about it! Cause if you aren't with us, then

you're against us!

Oliver's frown turned into a worried look over that as that just left him with a very bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. A sudden slam into the door drew his attention to it. "Let's f**k this place up!" Cackled a voice on the other side.

"Lupe, come on boy." Oliver said quietly and he scooped up his little buddy into his arms with the little guy squirming a little as he wanted to face the intruder darn it!

Hurrying quickly up the stairs as the front doors continued to be slammed against, he made it to the second level of the mansion and quickly ended up meeting Moira and Walter. "Oliver! What on Earth is that noise!?"

"Yes, it is quite worrisome."

"Mom, you and Walter may want to get in your room and stay there. Also, call the cops and tell them those Supremacist guys are trying to break in."

Moira gasped while Walter looked rather alarmed by that. "Why are they attempting such a thing?" Wondered the man.

Oliver just sighed. "Well, probably cause they don't like the fact I'm more for unity then they are. Now, get going!"

A protest escaped his mother but Walter thankfully got her moving much to her immense dislike with her holding Lupus as well! Walking to the railing of the second floor that kept one from falling down, he looked down at the front doors with an unreadable expression on his face as he awaited his uninvited guests. And it wasn't long before they were finally through with their battering ram. "Hot damn boys, this place looks mighty nifty! Pity we can't have dis on our side!" Spoke up the lead rammer and getting multiple agreements over it as they started to invade the mansion.

And it wasn't long before Oliver greeted them from the air and dropping a few in the process. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're all uninvited." Spoke the archer as he began to trade blows with several of members of the fourty odd men and women of the New World Order.

"Aww, you can't kick us out Queen!"

"Yeah! We just got here!"

One of the speakers even tried hitting Oliver with the rammer used to break open the doors and instead smashing into a wall with it. Security was definitely gonna be heavy after all this was over with! One of the NWO members managed to get Oliver into a choke hold while the others continued to run rampant all through out the house and making the man glad his sister and Raisa weren't here. "You got options Queen, join us and help us get rid of all the lesser races so that WE can rightfully rule as the Master Race. Or don't and end up dead."

"I think I'll take the third option."

"What? There is no-Oof!" Cried out the man as he got elbowed hard in the gut.

The action was enough to get his grip to be loosened and Oliver quickly made short work of the man. Only to be greeted by a blonde haired woman with two switchblades who lunged after him with one of them. An action that was enough for him to grab her hand and helpfully guide the blade carrying hand into her own gut. Causing her to gasp in shock though she didn't have long to deal with it as he snapped her neck, killing her. This angered her friends greatly and Oliver soon found himself facing six new attackers. The fight went through out the first floor of the mansion as he fought violently with them and others while wishing he had a few arrows to stab them in their hearts with for invading his damn home! And then as if the universe was responding to him, a black arrow found itself right in front of several of the NWO members, making them look at it in confusion until it blew up and causing them to go flying. Looking to see where it had come from, Oliver quickly saw a figure dressed in all black standing at the entrance of the dining room with another arrow ready to be fired.

"Who the Hell are you!?"

"Merely someone hired to deliver you to his employer for a special conversation involving specific information. But it seems you've a few guests..."

Ducking a blow and using an attacker's own gun in their gut, Oliver gave his full focus to the black clad figure for a short period of time. "Yeah, you really kinda did come at a bad time so if you could come back later that would be great." Replied the former castaway a bit sarcastically.

The fact this person wanted to take him to someone else bothered him greatly. Especially since this 'Employer' wanted some kind of information from him! "I'm afraid that may not be possible Mr. Queen as my employer was rather insistent I deliver you to him as soon as possible."

"Sorry to disappoint your employer then." Replied Oliver as he ducked a blow from one of the NWO and decked him in the jaw.

More of the NWO in the house started to come their way and even Walter was showing up too as he traded blows with the racist jerks as Oliver and the black clad figure began to fight the unwanted nuisances! "I must say, this is quite the work out!" Called out Walter as the trio fought the group who's numbers were winding down.

"You're probably gonna want to stick to something a little less violent." Remarked Oliver as he went for less fatal blows since he didn't want to arouse any potential suspicion as a just in case sort of thing while the man was in the room with him.

"Quite."

Sirens could then be heard, making both Oliver and Walter feel somewhat relieved by that. "Aww s**t! We got the cops comin'!"

"We ain't leavin' til these color lovers and the baldie is dead damnit!" Shouted out another of the few remaining NWO members.

Unfortunately for her and the remaining NWO members, the black clad figure decided to cut loose and start using his arrows by hand to kill them. Which no doubt was going to leave for a really nasty mess to clean up later! And as the sirens neared and the final nuisance fell, Oliver and Walter faced off with the black clad figure. "Another time perhaps as I am sure my employer will understand the situation."

And with that, he was gone. Making the two look at one another amidst the bodies laid out all around them. "They are getting bold to openly attack us in such a way. Our mystery friend only addens to my worries."

Letting out a sigh, Oliver could only agree with the man as Moira holding Lupus let out a horrified gasp just as Lance, Hilton, and several other police officers entered the room. "Jesus Christ!" Muttered Lance as he took in the scene before him!

"I'll say partner." Remarked Hilton in stunned disbelief.

Moira came towards the men with a determined expression on her face as she held the squirming Lupus in her arms. "I want these men arrested and tried to the fullest extent of the law officers!"

"I'm not so sure some of these guys are even alive ma'am." Called out one officer as he checked the pulse of one individual who had an arrow sticking out of his gut.

"For the record, the dead ones are not my fault." Quickly in Oliver as he figured Lance would be more than willing to pin the blame on him!

Lance looked at him with a look that clearly said he wasn't quite willing to believe that. "Yeah? And who is if not you kid? Mr. Steele here?"

"No Detective, I merely used fisticuffs against the troublemakers. Some other individual neither myself or Oliver knew was responsible. However, before you ask for a description know that we can not provide one as he was covered in an all black uniform of sorts."

"Oh, terrific." Muttered Lance sarcastically while Moira paled at the mention of who had helped her son and lover out!

Why that man was in her own home she could only make a few guesses at and would have words with Malcolm over it! Some very, very strong words at that. Lupus barked at Lance as the little guy just didn't like the man's attitude! Lance for his part just scoffed at the little fella while Oliver took him from his mom. "Looks like the dog doesn't like ya partner." Remarked Hilton with a grin.

Lance just shook his head over that. "Yeah, well, feelin's mutual." Another bark was heard over that as Lance started to radio in for more units and a few ambulances to come their way.

Battered individuals and black bodybags would be what Thea and John would return to the mansion just in time for, leading to stunned shock and quite a few questions in the process! Thankfully Oliver and Walter weren't arrested even though Lance would have loved to arrest Oliver but statements were given to the police officers present. The attack would make the news and shocking quite a few over it as well and also greatly worrying the rich elite of the city that if the Queens could get attacked, were they next? Making for them to heavily consider in investing in heavy security just to be on the safe side. Brian Stalk however was of two minds about the whole thing. One being that he was of the hope Oliver Queen would give up any support of the lesser races out of fear of being attacked again and join up with his righteous cause. And the other being pretty damn angry over the losses his organization had suffered! It made him want to find whoever this mystery helper was and break every damn bone in his body for daring to help as it meant Queen may possibly continue his support of the lesser races!

Plans would have to be made very soon, plans that would involve sending a big message to everyone in Starling City. And while Stalk plotted his next moves one little town in Kansas was currently going through some big events of its own. Events who's aftermath would soon see some visitors looking to help out. That and to allow the cleaners the necessary time to clean up the mansion and without any of them getting in their way. Though before they would leave, Moira would damn sure have that talk with Malcolm!

Author's Notes: Ahh this was fairly fun to write! Hope those of you reading will have enjoyed! Damn NWO is bold for sure in attacking Oliver at the mansion! Originally I was gonna have it to where either he gets kidnapped by them or Malcolm's Dark Archer persona and be tortured. But considering I've already put him in enough Hell, I went with this approach. Until next time folks!
