Tommy Merlyn:
Secret Agent
Disclaimer: Just a fun little idea I've had in my head for a bit now.
Summary: Recruited right after his high school graduation, Tommy Merlyn ended up becoming his country's greatest secret agent.
"Well Tabs, I'd say its been a pleasure but I'd be lying." Remarked Tommy 'Prometheus' Merlyn, agent of ARGUS as he stood in the middle of a burning and crumbling hidden base of the organization known as H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E.
Secretly led by the woman known as Tabby Katz. The very same Katz who was none too pleased by what the man in front of her had done to her organization. An organization she had spent years bringing together and now was seeing coming apart because of him. "My men warned me there was something off about you but I refused to believe it. Thinking they were imagining things!"
"And now you know better, stings like a bitch, doesn't it?" Asked the man with a hidden smirk underneath his mask.
Tabby glared hatefully at him with a sneer on her face as she pulled out her gun and began firing it at him. His years of training and experience quickly kicking in and allowing him to easily dodge, which only further served to anger the woman. "STAND STILL AND DIE YOU LYING BASTARD!"
"Sorry, but my parents were married when they had me. Nice try though!"
An angry hiss escaped her and once her weapon was empty, she threw it to the ground and charged at him with an enraged scream. "I'LL CASTRATE YOU! I GAVE YOU MY HEART WHEN NO OTHER WAS WORTHY! YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN AT MY SIDE WHEN I TOOK OVER THE DAMNED WORLD!"
"Sounds like too much paperwork, darling. Just not my thing I'm afraid!"
Bad enough he'd spent the last two years to get to this point and had nearly cut off his own ears thanks to her high pitched voice on more than one occasion. His fight with Tabby was shortlived as he would use her anger to get the deciding blow in that would knock her out. "Ugh… Hate… You!" Moaned the woman before dropping to the ground in an unconscious manner as ARGUS choppers were arriving on scene.
A Short Time Later
Just as Lyla Michaels, his commanding officer for this mission that he'd been assigned to report too for the duration of the 'Project: H.U.R.R.I. .E.' mission was winding down on her congratulations/lecture speech to him, Tommy received a phone call from one of the few important people in his life. "Yo! Speedy! I'm kinda in the middle of somethin' right now so I'm gonna have to call ya back!"
"Tommy! He's alive! He's alive!"
Tommy frowned in confusion at what his surrogate sister was talking about. "What? Who's alive?"
"Ollie! They found him somewhere in the North China Sea! He's on his way home right now! I knew it, Tommy! I knew he was alive!" Cried out the girl happily and whom was no doubt in tears.
Tommy stood where he was in utter shock as he processed this. "Tommy? Did you hear me?"
Thea's voice on the other end shook him out of his shock. "Umm… Yeah, yeah I heard ya, Speedy. I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?"
"Okay!" And with that, Thea hung up with an excited squeal as Michaels looked at Merlyn in concern.
"Everything alright, Agent Merlyn?"
He looked at her with a serious expression on his face. "I need the fastest chopper available to get back to Starling right now."
Lyla raised her eyebrows at this as normally, Merlyn wasn't one to make demands like that and she wouldn't even have to ask why he needed it as he'd supply the answer himself. "My best friend, Oliver Queen, was found alive and he's on his way home right now!"
"Oh. Congratulations, I'll get something ready for you ASAP." Promised the woman while wondering if Director Waller may have had something to do with this considering she'd press ganged Merlyn's best friend in to secret service for ARGUS sometime ago.
This got her a grateful nod from the younger man before she walked off to make arrangements. Ohh man… I can't wait to see you again, buddy!
Author's Notes: Short but that's okay. Originally the idea would have been more serious and him being exposed, but I ended up not doing that. Tabby Katz and H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E. are actual DC Comics things. No doubt I'll be doing a follow up at some point. R and R!
