Hi and welcome back. So this episode has a small flashbackinvolving Oliver Queen and how Danielle knows Snart from way back. I can't remember if they told his backstory on the show but I kinda mixed it with his comic backstory, I hope you don't mind.
Also, I was looking for an actress who could fit to be the face of Danielle and I really think Debra Messing is perfect. The face, the hair, everything is what I pictured my character to look like. So in case you wanted a more detailed look for Danielle, you can look at Debra.
Please, review and tell me what you're thinking of the story, I will very much appreciate it.
I do not own anything, just my OC. x
"Why don't you come closer, lady? I can show you some real fun." My grip on my purse got tighter as I tried to keep my eyes on the road and ignore the pig calling for me. "What's the matter, red? Have you ever been with a real man? Let me show you how it feels." Before I could run, he pushed me into the wall on my right.
"P-please, let me go." My voice was shaky, I was scared.
"Aw, but I don't want to." His right hand moved to his pant pocket, taking a big and sharped knife. "You try anything, I will cut you."
"Hey, leave her alone." I looked over to where the voice came from only to find a certain Oliver Queen walking to us.
"You ain't gonna tell me what to—"Before the pig could finish talking, Queen punched him in the nose. The man took some steps back just to get a good swing at Queen but he was faster and dodged it. Queen threw another punch at him and the man fell to the floor unconscious.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked while wiping some blood from his lip.
"Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much, if you hadn't show I don't know what I would've done."
"I'm Oliver Queen." He said while holding a hand up.
"Danielle Allen." I said back as we shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, Danielle. Please, allow me to walk you home. I wouldn't live with myself if something else would happen to you." I smiled a little.
"Of course, thanks."
"Damn, Allen, when's the wedding?" A male voice sounded next to me while I was filling some papers on the reception, it was Tony.
"What do you mean—oh, that?" I said while holding my hand up. "Isn't it gorgeous? But it isn't an engagement ring."
"Looks like one to me." He said with a smirk.
"It's a 'pre-engagement' ring." I said while turning back to the papers to sign and finally handed them to the receptionist.
"So who's the lucky guy?" Tony pushed.
"Oh, you know, someone I met time ago and ran into when I got back from Starling City."
"So romantic." He said with sarcasm. "Are we still going to the museum?"
"Totally. I really want to see that new diamond they got."
"Hurry up, then. You still need to get ready."
Tony walked away from me as I hurried to gather my things and finally walked out of the hospital to the car parking, where Tony was waiting. He drove us to the museum, where we got just in time for the second tour they were giving.
"It wasn't until 1852, when the transcontinental railroad laid their tracks through this thriving cattle town, that we became officially incorporated."
"Tell me again why I let you bring me here? This is boring!" Tony whispered.
"Just wait until you see the diamond, you'll love it."
"…but from that disaster rose Central City's greatest hero, cattle rancher Bobby 'Bovine' Mcfeely. Bovine Mcfeely saved 17 cows from the great flood."
"Nice heroes we have in Central City." Tony mocked as he giggled.
"And now, for the exhibit I'm sure you've all come here to see, the historic Kahndaq dynasty diamond. Be careful. Get too close and you'll set off the proximity alarms."
When taking a look at the diamond, I couldn't help but notice a familiar face in front of me. Tony excused to go get some food and that's when I approached the guy. "Snart?" I asked, making him turn to me. "It's Danielle Allen."
"Of course, how could I forget such pretty face?" He kindly said.
"As charming as ever, I see. What brings you here?" I asked while we began to walk along the group.
"The beauty everyone is here for." He said. While walking, I got a message from Tony, excusing for something that came up with one of his patients, so I continued the tour with Snart.
When the tour ended, he invited me for a coffee, which I accepted. We were walking when he suddenly stopped, turning around and then grabbed my arm to keep his pace. Instead of going to the cafeteria, he walked me outside.
"Snart, what the hell?" I asked confused while taking a look back, that's when I noticed some guard looking directly at him while talking on the phone.
But he didn't answer, he kept his eyes in front and pushing people out of our way. We crossed the road to the other side and when I turned around, I could hear and see Joe. "Snart!" He yelled, making Snart and I stop. I could hear the sirens of the police getting near us, and I began to panic. Snart pushed me into the ground, placed some glasses on his eyes and took out some sort of big gun, aiming it at the police car getting near and froze the ground underneath it, making Joe jump to the side. Snart then grabbed my arm, pulling me from the ground and entered the building next to us.
"Joe! Please, let me go. Help, help!"
"Quiet." He said while making his grip on my arm tighter. I knew a bruise would appear any time soon.
We walked around the theatre until Joe reached us, Snart pointing his freeze gun at him but I could see Barry coming at the scene and taking the hit for Joe, making them both fly away to both ways. "No!" I struggled to break free but I couldn't. I saw Barry getting up and run.
"Time for a test run." Snart said while keeping an eye on Barry. "Let's see how fast you are." He was going to aim at a couple running upstairs but Barry was faster and was able to get than to safety. Another couple running, he saved them. Finally, a man was coming to the scene, a security guard, and Snart as well aimed at him. Barry ran after him but the Snart's gun was faster, freezing the man to death.
"Hnng. Help! Help!" I tried to call for Barry's help, but he stay with the man as Snart and I began to run, his freezing gun pointed at my side and Barry not coming after us.
When we were outside, a van pulled near us, Snart motioning me to get inside as there were two men in front and another alone in the back with us. No one would say a word as Snart covered my eyes with a bandage and cuffed my hands behind my back.
The van finally stopped and I could hear the guys in front getting out and opening the back doors. "Come on." One of the goons told me as he helped me get out and pushed me further until he pushed me back and I fell on a chair, where he strapped my hands and feet to it.
Even with Joe's practices on how to escape from a situation like the one I was experiencing, it was impossible for me to break free since my eyes were covered. Some door were heard as they opened, voices of Snart and his goons were heard. I kept quiet, listening to what they were talking about, which included the goons wanting out of the gang alive since they didn't want any problem with ´the blur´ that was out there in the city. Eventually, the goons were able to walk away and I could hear steps coming closer to me.
"Time to go." Snart said while undoing the bandage around my eyes.
"Why are you doing this, Lenny?" He finished untying the ropes around my feet and looked up to me. "You used to be so nice, you're not the bad guy."
"It's been years since we last saw each other. I changed." He then moved to untie my hands. If I was going to make a move, I should wait for the right time.
"Is this how you want to live? Like a criminal who is chased by the police and spend the rest of his life in prison? You're better than that. Stop this, go somewhere else in the world and enjoy life."
My hands were now free, but I could feel his own move to my face, making me look directly at him. "Come with me. We can go anywhere you want and have a life together." I could feel his lips on mines. I felt bad.
"Lenny, I…I can't. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm sorry." His hands quickly moved from my face and his face was once again emotionless. I took this as an opportunity and hit him in between his legs, giving me enough time to escape.
"Oh, you shouldn't have done that." He said while I could hear his gun turn on. I spotted my things two tables away from where I was hiding. I needed my cellphone, contact Barry. I slowly began to make my way to the table, being as stealth as I could be. "I don't want to hurt you, Danielle. Don't make this harder than it has to be." I could hear his voice on the other side of the room, so I took the opportunity and quickly grabbed my phone. "Ah, there you are." I ducked again, the freezing gun almost hitting me. I unlocked my phone and quickly dialed STAR Labs so they could know my position. "Come on, Danielle. Let's go get an ice cream like the ones you used to have with Lisa and me. Remember those times?"
I pocketed my phone, took two long breaths before running to the exit, where the doors were half open. I could see the road, I was getting near getting out until I felt something hard on my back and everything went black.
…
"She's waking up." I could hear an echo of what sounded like Caitlin's voice. "Danielle? Can you hear me?"
"What?" I slowly opened my eyes to see Caitlin and Barry standing at my sides. "What happened?"
"We got your phone call." Caitlin said. "Barry found you just in time." I tried to sit but I could feel a pain on my back. "You probably shouldn't move. Snart apparently fired you with the gun but he set it with a lower intensity than the one he hit Barry with."
"You didn't stop him." I suddenly said to Barry. "You were too focused on that man instead of stopping Snart from taking me. You didn't care for your own sister being hostage!"
"Danielle, I tried to..."
"No, I screamed for your help and you didn't come for me. What kind of hero you are if you mourn a random person instead of saving your own sister?!"
"Danielle." Harrison's voice interrupted as he got inside the room. "Give us a minute." He said to Caitlin and Barry. Cait closed the door behind her and Harrison got near me. "How are you feeling?"
"In pain. Though, I don't know which one is worse: the pain of my brother letting Snart take me hostage or the pain in my back."
"Your brother was in a state of shock upon seeing the man frozen to death. And as for your back, there is going to be a bruise, which I can tell." I said no word, I didn't even bother to look at him. "Want to tell me why were you taking the tour with Snart?"
"No." I stubbornly said. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him taking his glasses off.
"Danielle."
"I know him. When I was younger I used to be friend with his sister, Lisa. His grandpa used to have an ice cream truck and I would constantly see them. Today, I saw him at the museum during the tour. I didn't know he was the one the CCPD is looking for. He invited me to a coffee and from there, he took me hostage."
"Anything else?"
"No." He began to wheel closer to me but due to what happened, I just wanted to be alone, so I turned around the way I was laying on my left side, not meeting him. Of course, my back hurt but I didn't care.
"Rest for now." He said with a sigh before turning around to leave the room.
I could hear him try to calm Barry down as they then talked about locating Snart, but I already know where he would be. With all my energy, I stood up and slowly made my way to the door. Once opened it, I saw Felicity was there. "Great, another reason to hate this special day." Barry looked confused and rushed over to help me.
"I take you both know each other." He said.
"Unfortunately." I said but then turned to Barry. "Snart is back at the museum, I heard him talk about it back at his hideout. He wants the diamond. And he mentioned something about going to the train station."
"If he's leaving, it appears Mr. Snart may have gotten what he came for." Harrison said as Barry helped me to a chair next to him and took off running to out the suit on.
"When we put our minds to it, dude, nothing can stop us." Cisco said while Barry clicked his right ear. "Oh, you turned your ear piece off. How are we gonna talk to each other?"
"I don't feel like talking right now." Barry said before taking off.
"What's his deal?" I asked.
"The freeze gun is something I created." Cisco said and I looked at him confused. "I didn't know if Barry was going to turn out bad so I figure on making something to stop him." I nodded in agreement.
"Cisco, could you help me back to the room, I don't feel like being with unwanted people." I said while looking over at Felicity. "What are you even doing here, Felicity? Going to tell lies about me to man I love? Go ahead, do it. Oh, wait, I'll go back to my room and then you can tell him."
"When are you going to understand that it wasn't me who told Oliver all those things?"
"If you didn't then who? You were the only person I talked to about what really happened that night. The next day Oliver leaves me. It was your fault, your jealousy." I motioned Cisco to help me and so he did. "Thanks, C."
"Are you going to tell me about that?" He asked and I sighed.
"Back in Starling City, there was a brief time I met and date Oliver Queen. During that time I used to go out very often and, you know how rumors are made, right? One time, I was taking a walk with a guy that used to have a huge crush on me. He said he wanted to talk to me, catch up on our lives. I didn't know his intention was different, so he kissed me by the force. What's worse is that he planned it all out, so one of his friends was hiding near and took the photo of us and sent it to the social media. I asked Felicity to help me take it out before it would get to Oliver's hands, and so she did. The next day, Oliver takes me out for lunch, shows me the photo, breaks up with me and I never see him again."
"Wait, how is this Felicity's fault?" Cisco asked confused.
"She kept the image and told Oliver the lie Fred started. She looks all sweet and caring but she is a huge snake." The hate was obvious on my voice.
"Cisco." Harison called.
"Rest." He said.
"Cisco, please don't tell Harrison about this." He simply nodded and left the room but I could still hear their conversation and how Felicity was almost begging for them to go after Barry.
I could hear steps going out and then, singles steps coming to my room, showing Harrison on my door. "Please tell me this isn't about what happened with Felicity."
"Indeed it is." He said with his arms crossed and so I proceeded to tell him the same story I told Cisco. "Looks like you like dating men with known names."
"Oh, ha-ha, so funny." I said with sarcasm. "I used to hate Oliver Queen. Had a different woman every week, spent his money like if it was simple paper…but he is a good man. I thought that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. The plans he made for us felt like living in a fairytale. Until all of that happened."
"In some way I'm glad that happened. If you were still with him, you'd be married to a completely different man than the one you plan on marrying." He said while walking to my bed and sitting near me, grabbing my left hand on his.
"I guess you're right. Don't get me wrong but I loved Oliver. He was the first man to make me feel loved and wanted." I could feel his grip on my hand tighten, making me look up to him. "Don't tell me you're getting jealous." I said with a smirk.
"Of a handsome, young man? You must be kidding." I could tell the sarcasm on his voice.
"Oh, you should. If I ever run into him one time, I'll drop everything between us and run into his arms to marry him and live with him." His face could tell me he was not amused, making me pull him over to give him a kiss. "I love you, and you only. I couldn't ask for anyone else but you." That brought him a smile as he leaned and kissed me again, but the force he pushed me had been too much for my back, making me wince.
"We need to cure that back of yours. I'm afraid you should take few days from work."
"I thought so."
…
"We've been trying to track Snart, but he must have disconnected the signal somehow."
"We'll find him, Cisco, together." Barry assured him.
"You have a great team here, Barry." Felicity said while entering the room. "Speaking of teams, I should probably get back to mine."
"It was nice meeting you, Ms. Smoak." Harrison said. "Please extend a hello to the Arrow for us."
"I will." She said and I just turned my sigh to my hands.
Felicity and Barry exchanged hugs before she left. "Remarkable young woman. She's special." Wells said as I glared at him.
"Yeah, she is." Barry said.
"Seriously, Barry. Just go and catch up to her." I told him as he looked back at me, his face bright red. He then turned around and began walking, Cisco and Wells chuckling at that.
"Cisco." Wells called him. "Don't you ever do anything like that again. Do you understand me?" I could notice a hint of being scared on Cisco's face.
"Yes, sir."
Harrison then proceeded to wheel us out of the facility and to the garage to his car. "I've never seen you angry before." I told him.
"Trust me, you don't want to." He said rather serious. I said no word afterwards as he drove us back home to rest for the night.
