Chapter 6

City Hall

"Jesus!" Lance says, watching as Oliver looked around his office confused, "Was starting to think you were dead."

"Where is he!?" Oliver asked.

"Where is who Oliver? When I came in, you were knocked out on your desk. I thought maybe you had a long night last night." Lance returned.

"No, there was a man here and he took Thea." Oliver explained.

"What?" Lance asked confusingly.

"I have to go, tell the Councilmen I've had a family member pass and that I'm taking a couple of days off. Do you think you and Chase can handle things while I'm gone?" Oliver asked.

"Well I wouldn't be much of a Deputy Mayor if I couldn't, but you just worry about getting Thea back and the son of a bitch that took her." Lance spoke, giving Oliver a reassuring nod that Oliver returned as he made his way out of the office.

As Oliver walked out he took his phone out and proceeded to make a call.

Arrowcave

Felicity was still interrogating Xena, who had gotten surprisingly comfortable to the point that she had forgotten the voltage was probably to the point where she could possibly break out if she wanted to.

Felicity's phone started to ring, she looked to see that it was Oliver.

"Hello?"

"I had a little run in with that girl's boss, he has Thea held captive somewhere and we NEED to find her."

"Oh God…I'll run GPS on her phone and see if I can track her." Felicity told Oliver, a concerning look made on Xena's face.

"I'm heading there now."

Time passes and Oliver was now back at the Arrowcave explaining to Felicity his experience with the man in black, who Felicity confirmed to be Klaus Mikaelson, on Lian Yu.

"GPS and satellite isn't tracking her phone. The last place the signal was found was going out of city limits." Felicity confirmed.

Oliver started rubbing his head in frustration and stress, "Klaus made it clear that he wasn't going to hurt Thea unless I give him the girl and if we don't both my sister and the people of Star City will be slaughtered but they can be anywhere. He did leave a note with a contact number for when I did find her."

"Maybe I can trace that." Felicity said, Oliver giving her the note, "So let me get this straight, the guy that took Thea is the same guy that you met on Lian Yu six years ago?"

"He did some kind of mind spell that wiped my memory of our encounter." Oliver answered.

"But how does he know you're the Green Arrow?"

"He probably did something to Thea, made her tell him who I was. But the real question is why does he want her."

"Xena? She has something of his, Papa Tunde's blade." Felicity answered.

Oliver gave her a small ponder, "It wouldn't happen to be a white blade made of bone would it?"

"Yeah, how did you-" Felicity says as Oliver walks around to the cell holding Xena.

Xena watched as Oliver walked up toward her cell and stood firm with Felicity right behind him.

"Um," Xena stated, "who are you?"

"Klaus has my baby sister." Oliver stated.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I told blondie this would happen." Xena replied.

"You were the one who brought this monster into my city-"

"Hey!" Felicity interrupted, "Let's tone it down a bit. Xena, you said you have a sister right?"

"I did, but I don't know anymore." Xena answered.

"Why is that?" Oliver asked.

"My sister is a witch." Xena answered.

"That's not nice." Felicity said.

"No, I mean an ACTUAL witch. She placed a protection spell on me before I ran off. That's why Klaus can't find me and if another witch tried, it'll be a pain in the ass to successfully do it. She was caught before I ran off with the blade, I wouldn't be surprised if they killed her." Xena confirmed, trying to hold back tears.

"He wants a trade, you for my sister." Oliver told Xena.

"Of course he does, and I don't blame you for going along with it either. That's your sister." Xena returned.

Felicity pulled Oliver to the side, "We can't just give her up to Klaus."

"I don't think we have a choice right now Felicity, Klaus has MY sister."

"I KNOW that. I've been talking to her this whole time, yes she's a killer but her heart is pure and good. You of all people should understand that." Felicity told Oliver.

Oliver gives her a glare. As much as he didn't want to listen, like Diggle he trusted Felicity more than anyone and her judgment was always spot on.

Oliver walks back up to Xena in her cell. They look at each other for a moment before Oliver reached for the keypad, entering numbers causing the electric bars to switch off and the door to unlock.

Oliver held open the door for Xena as she hesitated to step out the cell,

"What's going on?" Xena asked.

"We need your help. Felicity has spoken on your behalf and I trust her judgment." Oliver says as he gives Felicity a reassuring look that Felicity returns with a smile.

"Ok…so what are we going to do?" Xena asked.

"We're going to get my sister back and take Klaus down." Oliver answered.

"One thing I learned about the Mikaelsons, you mess with one you mess with all of them. You're setting yourself up for suicide." Xena said.

"That's why you're going to help us," Felicity stated, "trust me if there's anyone that can defy the odds, it's Oliver."

"Fine, where do we start?" Xena asked.

"We start with what we are dealing with and weaknesses, I need everything you know about Klaus and the Mikaelsons."

New Orleans

The Abbatoir

Klaus stood firm as he stared out from on top of the balcony. From behind him comes his brother, Elijah.

"Are you sure Oliver Queen will show?" Elijah asked.

"Of course he will, brother."

Klaus snaps his fingers and two figures come from behind them both. The figures are Thea Queen and another unknown female. They stand beside Klaus and let's him caress their faces,

"Or else both of their sisters will suffer the consequences of their siblings."
