"How did you do that?" Sara asked. I knew that I couldn't have a long conversation with her. Even though she was a fellow vigilante, she wasn't the one that I wanted to get close to. She could introduce me to Oliver as the Arrow, but I didn't want to go that route. I wanted him to notice me on his own. That was when Laurel showed up.
"Sara, what's going on?" She asked. "Who is she?"
I knew that I should definitely leave. I started to run away because I wanted to keep the flight to a minimum and it definitely wasn't a necessity.
I quickly headed back to my apartment. I knew that I should be sleeping, but I was exhilarated. I also didn't know if Zytle had been taken care of. A few minutes later, I couldn't help but hear Laurel and Sara talking as they came by my door.
"I don't know who she was." Sara said. "She only said her name was Terra and she sounded like she might have been Russian."
"So, she has superpowers or something?" Laurel asked.
"Yeah, I've never seen anyone fly before." Sara declared. "I didn't know people could do that."
"Are you sure that's not going to get infected?" Laurel inquired.
"Yeah, it barely pierced my skin. I'm pretty sure that the plan was for me to die by falling." Sara remarked.
I decided that I should stop eavesdropping and get some sleep.
I woke up around 10:00 to the sound of my phone ringing. Because of my job, I was usually up late and I wanted to get on a regular sleep schedule. I didn't even see who it was and answered it.
"Hello?" I replied with a yawn. Thankfully I remembered not to use my accent.
"Did I wake you?" Oliver asked.
"You did, but I was probably about to wake up anyway." I admitted.
"Well, I kind of wanted to do a do-over date with you." He replied. "How about we go out for lunch. Maybe we could go to Big Belly Burger."
"Sure, I guess I can do that." I replied. "Just give me a little bit of time."
"Is 11:30 enough time?" He asked.
"Yeah, that's fine." I declared.
I began to get ready. I wasn't even sure why I was doing this. He was supposed to be my enemy. I supposed it was to get closer to him. I wanted to know his weaknesses and maybe I could even get him to reveal Slade's location.
I turned on the news and saw that the Arrow had successfully captured Werner Zytle. I supposed that he was able to find out who he was. It meant that the vertigo problem was solved even though, I hadn't done anything about it. Maybe the next thing that I should do was try to see who had tried to kill Sara. It was obviously an archer, but there seemed to be more of them ever since Oliver became the vigilante.
I decided to keep my attire casual and went with a grey tunic with black leggings and matching black long-sleeved tee underneath. I also wore a pair of tan boots. I then went to meet him there. When I got there, I noticed him talking to a young man, who seemed to be about my age.
"Oliver?" I asked.
"And this is her." Oliver said. "Alice, this is Barry Allen. He's a friend of mine,"
I didn't know that he had a friend named Barry. None of my research brought him.
"And this is Alice Frost." Oliver continued. "She and I were about to have lunch together."
Even though it was supposed to be a date, it felt rude to exclude him because he wanted to talk to Oliver.
"We can reschedule if you want." I replied.
"No, I'll go. I shouldn't have just come unannounced." Barry responded.
"Why don't you join us?" I suggested. Oliver looked at me. "Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah." Oliver replied.
When we got inside, Barry ordered three burgers.
"I'll be right back." The waitress declared.
"Actually, those are just for me. I imagine these two want something as well." Barry declared. Okay, so he had a big appetite. The waitress gave him a look before she took our orders.
"So how do you two know each other?" I asked.
"We met last year when I came to visit." Barry replied. "I actually just woke up from a coma."
"Oh…" I replied. I didn't know how else to respond to that.
"What about you two?" Barry replied.
"I work for his sister." I answered.
"You know I've never met your sister." Barry stated. So, obviously they weren't that close.
"Well if you want, you could come to the club tonight?" Oliver offered.
"I should probably get back to Central City." Barry responded.
The lunch was good. I like a good burger, even though I didn't have them that often. I didn't really learn anything new about Oliver. There really wasn't a lot more to learn. Maybe he could open up to me about what happened on the island, but I would have to get him to trust me more. The problem I couldn't tell him the truth about my past. I should probably come up with some of backstory for myself. I just wasn't completely sure how to do that or what to say.
That night, I couldn't help but notice that we were low on beer and I would have to talk to Thea to get some more. I went up to her office and saw that the door was closed. I opened it and couldn't help but be shocked. Thea was on top of Sara and they were kissing.
"Oh my god." I declared. It was all that I could think to say. I then thought of something else. "I'm sorry."
"Alice." Thea said as she blushed and got off of Sara, who pouted. "What are you doing here?"
"We're starting to run low on beer and I needed you to get some more out." I responded. Thea was the only one who had the key to the liquor storage room because she told me that some previous employees had been caught stealing it before.
"I'll get that right now." She stated. I followed behind her. "So, Ollie told me about your date last night. It's amazing that neither of you got hurt."
"I guess we were just lucky." I lied. I knew it probably wasn't something that I should talk about, considering that I watched all of those people die. "So, you are with Sara now?"
"I don't know if you could say that we're together." She admitted. "She said that she could seduce me and decided to try to prove her wrong, and that didn't exactly work."
"You two should probably talk about it." I suggested. "Things usually don't go like that unless there's some sort of mutual attraction."
"Are you and Ollie going to go out again?" She questioned.
"We kind of already did, well sorta." I declared as she opened the room.
"What do you mean sort of?" She asked as I began to look for the beer.
"A friend of his was here, so it wasn't too intimate." I replied.
"He doesn't intimacy that well." She explained. "I think he does like you."
That night, I went out once again on my break. I had to do some research and figure out who would try to kill Sara. I saw someone that looking awfully suspicious sneaking around. She was wearing a mask over her mouth and holding a dagger.
"I don't know what you're doing, but I can tell it doesn't look good." I told her. That got her to look at me and I could tell that she seemed to be of an Asian descent, more importantly Southwest Asian.
"This is none of your concern, Blondie." She told me.
"Well considering that you're trying to kill people, it is my concern." I argued.
"If you challenge me, you'll only end up dead." She declared.
"I like to think otherwise." I declared. She then threw her dagger at me, but I lifted a piece of stone and knocked it out of the way.
At that point, she charged at me. Slade had taught me a little bit of hand-to-hand combat, but I probably wasn't the best at it. She managed to get some good hits on me before I managed to kick her off of me. I knew that I didn't want to kill her, so I decided to trap her. I made the ground below her cave in, created a hole that was probably 10-feet deep.
"That'll hold you until the police get here." I responded.
"You honestly think that I can't get out of here?" We asked. She began to jump against the sides of the hole and exited. So it seemed like she was some sort of ninja. Nevertheless, she seemed to realize that I had the upper hand and fled. I would have chased her, but I realized that my lunch was almost over and had to hurry back to work.
Fortunately, Thea didn't ask about the bruises on my body. It was my first time in a real fight and while I had won, it still hurt.
When I got home, I checked to see if I could find out any information about the woman. Who was she and why she was in Star City? I found something about a woman sounding similar to her. There was a woman wanted by Interpol who was codenamed Cheshire. Not much was known about her otherwise she was believed to be involved in 10 different men from around the world.
I realized that I had to stop her, but I would also need to try to figure out who her target was. I don't think she was the one who tried to kill Sara, considering that she seemed to only go after powerful men. I wondered if I would be able to get any more information from somewhere else.
I went back outside and onto the fire escape of Laurel's apartment, I needed to get Sara's attention.
"What are you doing here?" She inquired.
"I need your help." I declared. I once again remembered to use my accent.
"Why do you think that I can help you?" She asked me.
"Because I believe that you know more than you let on." I stated. "I'm looking for information on an assassin named Cheshire. I know that you know the Arrow. She is dangerous and I don't know who she is here to kill."
"So you want me to be your messenger?" She replied.
"Unless you would rather introduce him to me." I pointed out.
"He probably won't trust you." She stated.
"I know that he wants to deal with the criminals of this city as much as I do." I argued. "Have him meet me on top of this building just after sundown tomorrow."
I was nervous. I wasn't sure if he would agree to meet me. I assumed that he didn't like being told what to do. I also didn't think that the first time that I would see Oliver in his costume would be this soon. I still went there when I noticed he was around, specifically floating on the platform that I had made.
"I'm surprised that you managed to show up." I told him.
"Well you saved a friend of mine's life, so I figured that I owed you." He stated. "But first you could tell me who you are and why you're here."
"My name is Terra and for right now that is all that I'm telling you." I told him. "What's important is the situation at hand. Did you find who the potential targets are?"
"I did, but you could at least tell me how you are able to do that." He remarked. "Were you in Central City?"
"No, I was born with these abilities." I told him. "I don't want to talk about myself right now because there are lives at stake."
It turned out that his suspected targets were several people interested in buying Queen Consolidated. One had already been murdered. I hoped that I would be able to find the right person.
I went to find Walter Steele, who was formerly Oliver's stepfather and currently president of Starling National Bank. I saw from the distance that she had her eyes on him. I rushed over and threw myself in front of her dagger. It still really hurt.
"Run." I told him. He sprinted away as I found myself facing off against her once again. "You should have left town."
"I came here for a mission and I will not let you stop me." She told me.
We started fighting once again and this time, I decided not to trap her unless I had her subdued already. I decided to knock her to the ground with some dust before I went over and took her out with my fist. I then saw a gun pointed at me.
"I should have that there would be more people in masks." The man replied. He was Quentin Lance, Laurel and Sara's father. I didn't stay to talk, creating a cloud of dust as I made my escape.
From there, I made my way to the park, out of costume. I texted Oliver to meet me. I should have told him about what happened but he would figure it out.
"You wanted to see me?" He asked.
"Yeah, I forgot to give you this yesterday." I declared before I kissed him.
So this story is back. I know that we're not going to see Terra on Arrow, which I still feel is a missed opportunity. Maybe she'll be on Titans. Anyway, Terra and Oliver kissed and also Thea and Sara hooked up. Cheshire is played by Olivia Munn. Please don't forget to review.
