Just as the video was about to start up a woman came in and said "hi, I'm Zari I'm here to help Nora while laurel is gone."
"Don't move," Malcolm told Thea, bending down to look at the landmine. Thea nodded jerkily, and Malcolm examined the mine before looking up.
"The trigger's rusted over."
"Oh crap, that's not good at all," Curtis said. Thea paled a bit and grabbed Roy's hand.
"That . . . that's good, right?" Thea asked shakily. "That's . . . that's a good sign?"
"Nope not at all" Curtis said. Thea threw a pillow at him.
"Where do you keep getting pillows from, there was like one over there and you already threw that at me," Oliver said.
Thea just shrugged at him.
"No, that's really bad news," Curtis shook his head. "That means we can't disarm it."
"Well, somebody needs to do something!" Samantha protested.
"Thea, on the count of three, take your foot off the mine," Malcolm ordered.
"No, that will blow us all up," Felicity shook her head.
"I'm gonna take her place," Malcolm told her.
"Okay that's new and crazy for, even for you," Thea said.
"That's crazy!" Samantha's jaw dropped.
"Yeah, you're not the first one to call him that," Felicity told her.
"And she probably won't be the last to call me that either," Malcolm said.
"Oh I can vouch for that," Nora said.
"Me too," Zari said.
"I'll just find a boulder around here or something," Curtis began.
"No, we don't have that kind of time!" Malcolm snapped, turning to Thea.
"Thea?"
"No," she shook her head. "OK, no one is doing this, OK?"
"Thea," Kara began.
"OK, OK, it's all right," Malcolm nodded, standing up. "All right." He chuckled slightly. "I forgot how stubborn you could be."
"Don't know how you could forget that," Roy said.
Thea slapped him on the back of the head and said "I'm not stubborn."
"Yes you are," said everyone on team arrow. Thea huffed and crossed her arms.
He suddenly threw himself at Thea, and Kara rushed forward to support Thea and at the same time hold Malcolm up. Her eyes widened when she saw Malcolm's foot now on the mine.
"Oh, my God!" Felicity shrieked.
Malcolm straightened, catching his balance, then nodded and smiled at Thea. "Thank you for reminding me."
"What the hell are you doing?" Thea's eyes widened.
"I'm gonna take care of them, disarm the mine, and I'll catch up with you," he answered.
"Yeah, and how are you gonna do that with one foot planted on the – ?" Felicity began.
"Because he's not going to," Kara whispered.
"How would you know that," Malcolm said.
"I can hear your heartbeat and tell when you're lying," she said.
His eyes widen, just how powerful was she. She doesn't look powerful, she looks like an overly cheery cheerleader. She was obviously very powerful though,
Felicity stared at Malcolm in some mixture of horror and awe, and Thea shook her head. "No. OK, if you think that you need to prove something to me, you don't, OK? You proved it!"
"It's not about proving things to you Thea," Malcolm said.
"I'm not trying to prove anything," Malcolm shook his head. "From the moment you were born, all I ever wanted was to protect you."
"You don't have to," Thea shook her head. "I didn't ask for you to!"
"A child doesn't have to ask," Malcolm countered.
Tears welled in Thea's eyes, her voice cracking. "Don't do this, OK?"
"You may not think of me as your father, Thea, but you'll always be my daughter," Malcolm told her gently.
Wow he really does love me Thea thought.
Kara's head whipped up. "Look out!"
Malcolm ducked to the side, trusting her, and a second later, a whizzing sound grew louder, until a,boomerang smacked into the tree just past Samantha.
"Ugh, not this guy again," Sara said
"All right, go," Malcolm shooed the others,away. "Quick, get her out of here. All of you, go!"
"This is insane!" Thea cried, even as Kara and Curtis pulled her away.
"See not the last person to call me that," Malcolm said.
"Go!" Malcolm shouted as Harkness and some of Talia's students emerged over the hill.
Kara ran just behind the others, occasionally looking behind them. When she judged the others were a fair distance away, she turned. "Keep going," she told them.
"What?" Thea turned.
"But we've gotta go!" Curtis protested.
"Oliver told me to keep all of you safe, and that's what I'm going to do," Kara walked backwards towards where Malcolm was.
"Kara, you'll get blown up!" Samantha cried.
"No, I won't, this should be entertaining," Kara said.
Kara grinned. "No, I won't!" she told her, running back towards Malcolm.
Malcolm did a double take as Kara ran back the way she had come. "What are you doing?" he stared at her.
"Watching your back," she answered.
"What I'm planning to do," he began.
"You have no chance of surviving without me," she gave him a look. "Oliver brought me here because he trusts me. All I'm asking is for you to do that, too. Do what you're going to do, trust me to do the rest."
Malcolm set his jaw, but nodded, listening as Harkness ran down the hill.
"Go after the rest," he ordered.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Malcolm called nonchalantly.
"That sounds way too casual for someone that is about to be blown up," Sara remarked.
Harkness chuckled darkly as he walked up. "Oh. Well, you don't seem too bright. Both of you, just standing out here in the open like this. What kind of ass-backwards strategy is that?"
Malcolm took a deep breath, looking at Kara. She nodded supportively and mouthed "trust me" to him. He microscopically nodded back, then answered. "Let me show you."
Harkness tensed, Kara bent her knees, and Malcolm stepped off the mine.
The four were still running when they heard the explosion behind them. Samantha gasped, stumbling backwards, but Thea turned back, frozen in place, watching the flames slowly dissipate, desperately hoping –
"Look!" Curtis pointed into the sky.
"Its a bird, it's a plane" Alex started.
"Oh dear Rao no, I hate when people say that," Kara said.
Alex nodded and said "I know that's why I said it."
Thea looked up and saw a blur of blue and black, and then Kara was landing on the ground, Malcolm tightly in her grasp. "Oh, my God!" Felicity's eyes widened.
"You say that a lot," Kara said.
"I have a lot of reasons to do so," Felicity said.
"What the hell was that?" Samantha demanded as Thea ran forward.
"Well, the plan originally was – oomph!" Malcolm grunted as Thea catapulted into him.
"The plan was originally to blow himself up, which is a god-awful plan," Thea said.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Thea sobbed, unable to help herself, hugging him tightly. "Why did you do that?"
"You'd be surprised by what lengths family goes to if it means keeping those they love safe," Kara told Thea with a smile.
"Don't do that again," Thea pushed Malcolm in the chest, but there was no real force behind it.
"No more landmines," Malcolm nodded shakily. "Got it."
"Ah sarcasm, gotta love it," Roy said.
"It had better not be sarcasm I mean it no landmine," Thea muttered.
"Malcolm was originally going to blow up Harkness and Talia's students, and himself in the process," Kara explained. "I just grabbed him and flew off before he got hurt. My plan was going to be take Thea's place. It wouldn't have even scratched me. See?" She held out her arms,
showing she wasn't even burned. "Nothing on me."
"Which is a better plan than yours," Slade said.
"Shut up," Malcolm said.
"And Supergirl reveals herself," Felicity grinned.
"Supergirl?" Samantha repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Is that why there's the S on your chest?"
"Why does everyone think that," Kara huffed.
Oliver was looking at her and thought she was way to puppy dog cute to actually seem legitimately mad. (this next part was requested by writersblock039)
Sara looked at him and said "Oliver you're staring, do you maybe have a crush on the girl of steel."
"Shut up sara," Oliver said.
Felicity was listening and texted Alex and Thea about letting Sara into this little group of theirs. They agreed to ask her during dinner.
Sara was thinking about what she had seen so far in the videos, he obviously trusted her a lot and from the way he looks at her he definitely has a crush on her. She was going to take every chance she could to tease them about it she decided.
Kara sighed. "It's my family's coat of arms," she told him. "But yes, people like to think that."
"Kara, you didn't have to do that," Thea shook her head.
"I wanted to," she told her. "And about the 'you're not my father' bit? He still is, Thea. I don't,know what happened entirely, and I might not ever know, but if he's your family, take my advice. Treat him that way while you still can." She brushed her hair behind her ear and started walking
onwards. "Because you never realize what you've got until it's gone."
"Wow that was deep," Sara said.
They watched her walk on, slightly surprised by her words, then Malcolm squeezed Thea slightly.
"Come on," he nudged her onwards. "Let's go."
Nyssa stopped over the hill, waiting for Oliver and Slade. "The trail continues this way."
Oliver paused by Nyssa and froze when he saw the wreckage of an aircraft just past them. "This place brings back memories," Slade said grimly.
"Not good ones, for either of us I would imagine," Oliver said.
"Feels like a lifetime ago," Oliver whispered.
Slade looked at him. "For Shado, it was."
Oliver winced, then Nyssa waved her hand at them. "No time for nostalgia." She turned to Oliver,,holding out a pair of binoculars. "I know where they're going."
Oliver took the binoculars and peered through them, seeing the top of a monastery over the trees.
"I've never seen that," Oliver said.
The halls were still extremely dark, even with the lights along the walls. "Do either of you know anything about this place that could give us a tactical advantage?" Nyssa asked.
"I've only seen it one time, and that was from a distance," Oliver shook his head.
"Oh that is that place I saw years ago," Oliver said.
"Well, maybe we should split up," Slade suggested.
Nyssa paused, looking him over, before turning to Oliver. "Should we?"
"Yeah," Oliver nodded. "Go, Nyssa. We'll be fine."
Nyssa walked off, and Slade chuckled, walking up to Oliver. "She doesn't trust me."
"Can you blame her?" Oliver raised an eyebrow.
"No," Slade answered, throwing a right hook and knocking Oliver out.
"Why am I not surprised," Sara said.
Oliver had barely fallen when Slade heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Black Siren slow down when she saw he was standing there, a few of Talia's students with her. "Tell Mr. Chase I have a gift for him," he told her with a smirk. Black Siren looked down at Oliver, and a matching grin lit up her face.
In the control room
Laurel and Oliver came in the control room and Malcolm asked "how did it go."
"Well they almost got away, but we came and kicked the crap out of them," Laurel said.
Oliver just walked out, "okay how did it really go," Malcolm said as soon as Oliver was out of earshot.
"He's getting more bloodthirsty, I hope this works," Laurel said said.
"Me too," Ruby said.
"Ah! What the hell, when did you get here," Laurel said jumping a little bit.
"I was already here you just didn't realize," Ruby said.
"So where is everyone else," Malcolm asked.
"Out for drinks, Oliver didn't want to join them so I came back with him," Laurel said.
John immediately straightened when he saw Oliver be led in by Talia's students. "Oliver!" he said in relief.
"Don't blame me," Black Siren smirked as she entered, and John's face darkened when Slade stepped to her side.
"Of course not because you wouldn't be the first one we think of," Thea said sarcastically
"Mr. Wilson's the one who gets credit for this trophy."
"Slade, you son of a bitch," John snarled.
"I never should have trusted you," Oliver spat.
Slade just nodded and followed Black Siren out. Quentin watched the doppelgänger go, then turned to Oliver. "Are you all right?"
"Where's my son?" Oliver demanded.
"William?" John blanched. "Chase took him, too?"
"Where else could he be," Oliver said frustrated.
"We didn't know anyone else was here," Dinah told Oliver.
"What makes you think he's here?" Quentin asked.
"He took Samantha, showed me a video of William," Oliver answered. John closed his eyes in disbelief. Chase was really asking for it now, wasn't he?
"Yeah he really is," John said.
"He is on this island somewhere, and we need to find him!"
"So dramatic Oliver," Thea said.
"Thea."
"Yes."
"Shut up."
"Rude," Thea said.
Laurel walked in and said "I'm back."
"Where were you," Sara said.
"Places," Laurel answered.
"Yeah I figured that," Sara said.
"Nevermind that lets watch the next part," she said.
The next video then started.
