++++++ Sorry It's been a while since I updated this but I've had a sick toddler and then a teething toddler which does not make for a good writing environment.
Have you all been watching Legends of Tomorrow?
This show seriously makes me love Snart more then I do now...and I have some serious objections to him kissing that Russian chick...tisk tisk...
Anyway...
I hope you enjoy.
I do not own
Thirty-Three
I got admit that I was filled with a sudden confident and cocky vibe when I stood at the docks waiting in our little group. Pisces. The Arrow. The Flash. The Black Wolf. All of us standing there made it feel kind of epic.
Only problem was that Waller was late and Joseph was wide awake and clearly looking at having some psychological fun with us all-or he was going to try.
"Oh look it's the brother," Joseph smirked upon seeing Barry as the Flash. "How you doing, brother?"
Black Wolf put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently. "He's not even worth it, Flash. He's baiting you. Ignore him."
Joseph laughed. "Naw so you don't want to play? Your sister did…she was so…so sweet. Shame she was drugged otherwise it would have been music to my ears."
I shifted a little and bit my lip.
"Nobody asked you to speak," the Arrow scowled, crossing over to stand by Joseph who was cuffed on the ground.
Joseph scowled when he saw him. "Well, well, well. You. I'm mildly disappointed my father didn't put a bullet in your head when he had the chance."
The Arrow didn't say anything.
"Well aren't you a bunch of fun?" Joseph muttered. "Little blue bird…" he smiled, "un-cuff me and I'll be gentle. Leave me here and guess what I'm going to do to you? I will destroy you. This time I won't just draw on you with my knife…I'll-"
Without warning Flash struck him in the face, breaking his nose. "You ever, ever come near my sister again I will gladly kill you. Come near her again and there will be nothing left of you. That's my promise."
Joseph laughed. "Oh you are so not scary, buddy." He glanced over at me than back at the Flash and smirked. "So did you tell him?" he asked me.
The Flash frowned. "Tell me about what, Pisces?"
"Just be warned…Charlotte…your brother may think he's the fastest man alive but he's got nothing on the Reverse Flash."
I raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
He laughed. "I'd thought you'd be familiar with the man that killed your mother. Guess not."
"I chose not to say anything because I hadn't determined the truth of his words," I confessed.
"About what?" he asked me.
"The man that killed your mother," Joseph laughed. "I'll tell you what I told her, you think you're the fastest man alive well you sir, are not. That honour goes to the Reverse Flash."
"What do you know about it?" the Flash asked him. "Who is the Reverse Flash?"
"Leave it," Black Wolf warned him.
"No," he argued.
I grabbed his arm and shook my head. "Talk about giving him what he wants…a distraction."
Joseph shrugged. "Your loss. Just know that your little hand over will only piss my sister off."
"Good," both Black Wolf and I snipped.
A convoy of black cars came around the corner sudden only to park just a few feet away. I had expected Amanda Waller to come out of the first one but instead she came from the third one. The woman in question had an air of authority about her and a look on her face that said she clearly gave a fuck about no one at all. She walked over with a squad of soldiers behind her.
"Oliver Queen," she frowned, stopping in front of Oliver, "Suki Wilson. Barry Allen. Charlotte Allen. A merry band of thieves you have here Oliver."
"Can we can the chit chat and get rid of him?" I asked her in the nicest way possible. "No hurry. I mean if you want to sit around and have tea and scones we can go to Jitters otherwise he needs to be gone."
Amanda huffed at me. "There was one other thing I wanted to discuss with yourself, Miss Allen. One Amber White."
I raised an eyebrow. "What did you want with Amber?" I asked her.
"We have become aware of a particular talent that Miss White possesses," Waller frowned. "We'd like to offer her a job if she'll take it. Suki knows the number." She turned her attention to Joseph who sat there smirking. "Hello Mr Wilson."
Joseph got to his feet. "We meet again, Miss Waller."
Black Wolf walked around his back and stuck him in the neck with a needle. "This will keep him shut till you get to your destination," she told her. "If you need it," Suki tossed her another vial of red sedative, "feel free to overdose the cunt."
"Oh," Joseph laughed, "words, sister."
"Fuck you," she snapped.
"Not my type," Joseph laughed. "The little blue bird over there is, however."
Still nothing.
"Word of warning," he scowled, "you're all going to die."
"You first," Black Wolf replied as his body dropped. She knelt down and un-cuffed him before re-cuffing him once he was free from the pole. "Hey if you want can you drop him drugged into the ocean?"
Waller smirked a little. "Shame you left us, Miss Wilson. The Suicide Squad has a handler position open."
"I'd rather die," she replied.
"Very well," she nodded. Motioning to her men, I watched as Joseph was taken away unconscious.
Only when the convoy was away did I breathe a sigh of relief. "I think I was holding my breath the whole time."
Black Wolf rubbed my shoulder. "Now we just need to worry about the sister."
"You have some explaining to do," the Flash spoke, standing in front of me. "Who is the Reverse Flash?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I seriously don't know, believe me…but the night mum was killed-you said you remembered that there was a man in yellow there…there wasn't one person there Barry…there was two." She'd come down for a glass of water like she always did at the same time every night. But that night was different. The two of us looked up at each other, our same brown eyes meeting. My eyes widened as a red shape appeared beside younger me. I didn't remember this-why didn't I remember this?
The blur vanished, there was my brother-wearing the same suit he put on not an hour ago. He picked me up gently, clearing the blood off my face. He spoke to me…
My sessions with Amber had been helpful in getting over what had been done to me but not in helping me get back my memories of that night…of what future Barry had said to me.
"What?" he all but shouted.
"Let's take this back to STAR Labs," Arrow suggested. "I don't think the city will put their faith in waring heroes."
"Hey did Pisces tell you that she's bringing her criminal boyfriend to your engagement party?" Black Wolf asked him, changing the subject.
"Wait-what?" Arrow frowned. "The answer to that question is no. More like hell no."
I punched Black Wolf in the arm. "Big mouth. Would meeting him put your fears at ease? Arrow, I don't know what everyone's told you about him but he's a good guy…you've killed people. Wolf's killed people. I've killed people and yet I am still a hero. Yet he can't be a good guy?"
"Where are you going?" Arrow asked as I walked off.
"I need a drink," I told him.
