Chapter 7 is here! thanks for the reviews :D enjoy.
"Okay. Here's the plan, A.C, feel like swimming all the way to Brazil? If not it's a four hour plane journey." Oliver asked, feeling more assured and confident that his plan would work; he had some surprises up his sleeve.
"Dude, even for me that's a bit much, I'll ride with you, drop me off the north coast of Venezuela and I'll swim to the Brazilian coast and down the Amazon river, I'll rendezvous with you at this location" A.C said pointing at an area by the river about a mile from the air field.
"Agreed. That way me and Vic can parachute down to the area after you've secured the area and hopefully they won't even notice us until we've breached their security and brought them to their knees. But boys, prepare for a fire fight!" Ollie explained.
Vic looked at his leader thoughtfully and slightly confused "Good plan. But I got two queries. One, there's no way the Queen Industries Jet can get to central Brazil in four hours and two, we're bound to be seen flying that thing"
Ollie gave a smug smile "Well it's a good thing I've got something a lot cooler than a private jet. Come with me boys" he said walking towards the elevator door. Vic and A.C looked at each other with hidden excitement before following the archer.
Ten minutes later they'd arrived by car at an apparently derelict warehouse belonging to Queen Industries. "Stay here" Ollie said before jogged towards a small door, he unlocked it and went inside. The boys waited in anticipation as the lights inside went on and a large garage style door began to open mechanically, rolling up into the roof above. The guys proceeded to walk inside where Ollie was standing next to a modified F-22 Raptor with a grin on his face.
"Well. What do you think?" he asked.
"Wow, Ollie. Impressive." Vic said walking around the jet.
"It's a modified fighter plane, three passenger seats, bullet proof and built for stealth, can be controlled by remote, various weapons, air conditioning and a built in ipod dock. I call it…the Arrow Plane!" Ollie said proudly.
"The Arrow Plane?!" Vic and A.C said in unison before bursting into laughter "That's the best you could come up with?"A.C questioned between giggles.
The emerald archer did not look amused "Just get in the plane, we need to find Bart."
The men obliged, still laughing at the planes name. But once they were inside their attention was drawn to the awesomeness of the aircraft.
"This is pretty cool man" Vic commented.
"Yes it is" Ollie replied, getting into the cockpit of the plane. Once they were all securely seated he powered up the jet and guided it out of the warehouse and down the make shift runway –the warehouses car park- and into the Star City skyline.
The guys kept the conversation light on the journey, making jokes about Ollie's choice of names when it came to vehicles and reminiscing about their most successfully and funniest missions, like the time Ollie tricked A.C into going undercover in a fish stick factory after telling him it was making illegal bullet shells. His reaction had been priceless.
But this was all a bit fake, they were worried about Bart, hoping he was okay and unhurt and worried about what else they would find; the people responsible for all of this were professionals, this was bound to be a dangerous rescue mission for everyone involved, but that didn't matter. They were going to find the kid and bring his captors to justice, Lex included.
Back in the Amazonian rainforest Bart stared at the gray haired man with a look of confusion.
"My… what?"
"Your Grandfather." Thawne repeated, picking up Barts legs and dropping them over the side of the slightly cushioned metal bed, making room for him to sit down next to the kid who was quite freaked out. Especially when he noticed the thick titanium restraints around his ankles which effectively blew his plans of escaping the clearly insane man straight out of the window.
"No, my grandad lives in Montana, grows egg plants and my other grandfather died 5 years ago"
"Wrong my boy. Your adoptive grandfather lives in Montana and I believe he's started growing carrots." Thawne said with that unnervingly warm smile.
"What? What the hell are you talking about? Look man I think you've got my confused with someone else. I don't know you! You're craz-…" Bart was cut off by a sharp backhand across the face of the man claiming to be his flesh and blood.
"Now, be quiet and let me explain. Alright?" Thawne said calmly
"Fine" Bart muttered in response.
"As I was saying, neither of those men were related to you" he paused "and nor are you parents"
"What're you saying? That I'm adopted?"
Thawne sighed "Sort of. Bart, you and me, we're not from round here. Your mother, my daughter sent you here, she wanted to keep you away from me." He paused to look at Bart who was attempting to mask his fear with a look of interest. He was failing. Thawne continued
"She knew about your super speed and she feared I would try to use it for an apocalypse or something. Always had an over active imagination that girl."
"Why are you telling me this?" Bart asked quietly
"Because my boy, like I said, my daughter was overacting, always saw me as the bad guy. I don't want to use you Bart. I want to work with you and make up for lost time. You're 16 and this is the first time we've had a conversation."
The kid raised an eyebrow "Uh hu, well if I'm honest I don't think you went the right way in gaining my trust. Could you not have just organised a meeting? At I don't know… a café, with other people around and no men in black with guns. I mean was it really necessary to practically blow me up and kidnap me?"
"You really don't know how well protected you are do you?"
Bart stared at him blankly.
"As Bart Allen you're untouchable, your brother Oliver Queen made sure of that. If I attempted to contact you he would have found out, done background checks and I couldn't afford to have him or his green leather clad alter ego looking into my recent activities." He noted the kids shocked face "Yes, I'm the one who had you bugged, I know all about who the Green Arrow is, although it doesn't take a genius to work it out. But, as Impulse, it's a different matter, the brotherly relationship is put on the side lines, when you're Impulse you're a soldier, your main aim is to help innocent civilians. That's the priority right?"
The kid next to him nodded in stunned silence. Thawne continued "And so then you became an easy target, this was the only way I could get into contact with you. A bit extreme, it may be said, but you understand son?"
"Why. Am. I. Here?" Bart demanded
"I need your help, your speed; I plan to harness it to create a massive power source"
"What for?"
Thawne gave that warm smile "Armageddon of course."
Dun dun dunnn, that was chapter 7, let me know what you think, thanks :D
