"Where did they take them?" Laurel asked as they tried to find clues about where Tommy and Talia had taken their teammates.
"No idea, but we need to find them." Oliver said.
"Do you think it would do us any good to check out any Merlyn Global facilities?" Dig asked.
"Doubtful, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to look." Oliver said.
"How do we know that they didn't take any other hostages?" Rory asked.
"Talia would have to be even crazier than I thought and that's saying something, to go after someone being protected by the Green Lantern and Lylar confirmed that Quentin and Donna made it to the safehouse in Keystone." Oliver assured them.
"What about your friends from Central City?" John asked.
"Why would Prometheus go after the Flash?" Rory asked.
"He wouldn't. It's not who John was talking about." Oliver said.
"Then who?" Rory asked.
"You did promise them no more secrets." Laurel reminded Oliver.
"He's talking about my son William." Oliver said.
"Wait, you guys have a kid?" Rory asked, looking at Oliver and Laurel.
"No we don't. William is Oliver's son from an affair he had about 10 years ago." Laurel said, giving her boyfriend a look that clearly read that while she was no longer mad about him cheating on her, she still wasn't exactly thrilled to find out that one of those affairs led to him becoming a father.
"Okay, moving on, should we be worried about Prometheus going after your son?" Rory asked.
"Not likely, since aside from the people in this room, the only people who know about William that are alive are Thea, Roy, Quentin and Felicity and even so, after Damien Darhk took William hostage last year, he and his mother moved to another city under new names that I don't know, since we decided that my not being William's life is the best thing I can do for him." Oliver said.
"Harsh." Rory said.
"Maybe, but it's the best thing for William, whether I like it or not." Oliver said.
"Okay, so, why don't Rory and I go check out Merlyn Global's facilities in the city?" John said.
"Nyssa, go with them and also search all known Tempest locations. Could be useful." Oliver said and 3 of them nodded before heading out.
"What about me?" Laurel asked, wondering why Oliver was sidelining her.
"You're staying right here with me." Oliver said.
"Ollie, is now really the time to be overprotective?" Laurel asked him.
"It's not being overprotective. You're our heaviest hitter, so I want you at my side so I don't have to worry about them brainwashing you and turning you against me to." Oliver said and Laurel nodded in understanding.
"We'll get them back Ollie." Laurel said.
"I know." Oliver said.
"You're worried about Tommy aren't you?" Laurel asked.
"I can't help it. I mean I know he's done some terrible things, but I still can't lose hope that my friend is still in there somewhere." Oliver said.
"Then maybe that's the answer." Laurel said.
"What are you talking about?" Oliver asked.
"Every time you've seen him, it's been as Green Arrow and Prometheus. And since that isn't getting it done, maybe Oliver Queen should be the one to try to get through to Tommy Merlyn." Laurel said.
"It's possible, I mean, the Arrow couldn't get through to Roy when he was on a Mirakuru high, but I could. Maybe the same thing can be said about Tommy. But we still have to find him first." Oliver said as his phone rang.
"Hello." Oliver said.
"Oliver, it's Felicity." Felicity said.
"Felicity, what's going on?" Oliver asked, hearing the panic in her voice.
"I don't know how he found her, Hal and I only went out for dinner, but Prometheus took Thea." Felicity said and Oliver's blood ran cold.
"Felicity, calm down. You and Hal need to get somewhere safe. I'll worry about finding her." Oliver said as he hung up.
"What's going on?" Laurel asked.
"Tommy took Thea." Oliver said.
"I'm going to call the safe house and make sure that my dad and Donna are still there." Laurel said and Oliver nodded in agreement.
After losing touch with the Argus team assigned to guard Quentin and Donna at the safehouse, Lyla hooked Oliver and Laurel up with security footage from the building only to see Quentin talking to Laurel.
"What, how am I there?" Laurel asked.
"I'm not so certain you are." Oliver said.
"What are you talking about?" Laurel asked.
"After we discovered the full range of your powers, I contacted Cisco to let him know so that your powers could be documented in the MPR." Oliver said.
"The what?" Laurel interrupted.
"Meta power registry. It's a classified list that Barry's team has so they can keep track of the powers of all the metas they come across." Oliver explained.
"Would've been nice to know they have me on a list." Laurel said.
"Anyways, when I told him, he told me that you have the same powers as your doppelganger from another earth." Oliver said.
"Wait, I mean, I know that there are apparently parallel universes from our little fight with aliens, but another me?" Laurel asked.
"Apparently when Zoom invaded Central City last year, he brought his army from his earth to ours and one of his lieutenants is your doppelganger who also has a sonic scream." Oliver said.
"So where is she now?" Laurel asked.
"Last time I talked to Cisco, she was in lock up in the Pipeline at Star Labs. But maybe now we should double check." Oliver said.
"You don't seem that surprised that Tommy would be working with an evil version of me." Laurel pointed out.
"That's because Tommy's always had a thing for you, so a cheap knockoff from another universe might be the next best thing." Oliver said.
"Nice to know that even in the state he's in now, somethings never change." Laurel said.
"Some ideals are even stronger than death. I think you and I are experts at knowing that by now." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
