Speedy The Speedster

Disclaimer: A little thing I decided to explore where the Particle Accelerator going boom and its effects being felt by more then just Central, but the entire USA. Also, mentions of good Isabel Rochev abound.

Summary: Thanks to the Dark Matter from the Particle Accelerator's explosion, one Thea Queen's about to find herself with a new skill.

"God I miss you, Princess." Murmured Roy Harper as he sat at the bedside of his girlfriend, Thea Queen.

Who'd been in the hospital for three months now after a Dark Matter infused bolt of lightning had hit her following the explosion of STAR Labs' Particle Accelerator in Central City, Missouri. Which released a wave of dark matter that wasn't limited to just Central City, but the whole Country as well. Changing quite a few lives in the process and there had even been reports of people with powers running around. Which Roy knew was true thanks to the fact that he and Oliver had ran into a few of those who'd been mis-using their powers for ill means in a time when the city didn't need that going on. Not after Slade Wilson and his Mirakuru enhanced army had put the city through a terrible Siege with many losses. Chief among those being Isobel Rochev, who'd become a good friend to Oliver thanks to the fact that she wanted to save help prevent the loss of Queen Consolidated due to her past with Robert. A past that could have left her bitter but she had chosen to move past that, even if Moira really wasn't a huge fan of her's to begin with. Thea had even been unknowingly used against Oliver by Slade in the final fight and that had nearly resulted in the Australian's death as well for that matter by Oliver's hand.

Moira Queen was also proving herself to be an excellent Mayor as well after having to take over from Sebastian Blood due to his own death in the Siege. Not that he was gonna lose much sleep over that particular loss due to the man's activities that helped bring about the Siege. Felicity had even left the team when all was said and done as she had been none too happy about having her feelings used by Oliver as bait where Slade was concerned. Making it slightly difficult for the team to manage at first until Oliver got rid of the rust where his tech skills were concerned. "And I'm not the only one that misses you either."

Even if the only real concern coming from anybody was her family, himself, what was left of the team, the Lances, and Sin. Roy himself had practically spiraled in a bad way thanks to her comatose state and the Mirakuru flowing through his veins and it'd been a miracle that he wasn't dead despite Sara's numerous misgivings about him. Sighing to himself as he received yet another expected but unfortunate lack of a response, he leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead. "R-Roy?" Came a hoarse voice seconds later after much to his immense surprise.

"Thea!?"

"Wa-Water, please..."

Immediately springing into action, Roy quickly got her some water that she gratefully drank to sooth her throat. And then found herself getting a tight yet greatly relieved hug from her boyfriend. Letting out a confused laugh as she hugged him back, Thea began to speak. "Okay, I'm a little confused but I'm not gonna complain much about the hug."

A laugh escaped him as he pulled back and to her shock, she could see tears threatening to break from his eyes. "You have NO idea how happy I am that you're awake, babe." Roy told her with an emotion filled voice.

"Okay, you're kinda startin' to scare me here, Roy."

"What's the last thing you remember?"

Confused, she thought it over and then her eyes widened in surprise as she recalled getting hit by a bolt of lightning by all things! "I got hit by a lightning bolt!"

"Yeah, yeah you did. And ended up in a coma for three months!" Roy told her shakily and surprising her even more.

"I… I was?"

"Yeah, and it was the longest, crappiest three months of my life." He replied as honestly and bluntly as possible.

And then hugged her again as she processed the whole thing. Realizing that her family was probably out of their minds too. "Damn, I need to call your mom and brother."

Pulling back, he quickly brought out his phone to do that as she shot him a grateful look as while she loved and felt grateful that he was there with her, seeing her family was something she seriously needed at that point. But then she felt an odd sensation with her left hand and her eyes widened at the sight of it vibrating! "R-Roy!?"

Her voice made him instantly look up and he was about to ask what was wrong when he saw it for himself. "What the Hell?"

"I don't know! It just started happening!" Cried out Thea and before she knew it, her whole body was vibrating as Roy took a step back.

What happened next would shock the absolute Hell out of him as she just suddenly shot out of the bed, leaving a trail of small flames in her wake. "Thea!" He yelled out and chased after her.

Not realizing that she had well left the hospital at that point and out into the city.
