I've decided to just finish Thea's flashback arc before continuing the other stories, just because I want to finally bring this story up to the present with the rest of them. That means that I will be posting the next few chapters in a row before I continue on, since honestly, this arc has gone on a lot longer than I originally planned. I hope you like what I've come up with.
If the driver was surprised when Thea asked him to take her to the Glades, he didn't show it, though Thea could tell that he was a little surprised when she gave him an actual address, since she'd done some digging and confirmed that the man she was looking for still lived here.
"Take the car for a drive, this shouldn't take long." Thea said, since she was really looking forward to this part as she walked up to the door of the rundown house and knocked on it.
"Roy Harper, come out with your hands up, this is the SCPD." Thea said with a smile, just because she wanted to see how Roy would react and he did not disappoint, since Thea could hear him scrambling to get to the nearest window and she followed the noise to find the love of her life so bravely trying to flee from the house.
"Wow, you really were a mess before you met Ollie." Thea muttered under her breath as she walked up to him.
"Wait, you're not a cop." Roy said.
"Very perceptive Mr. Harper." Thea said.
"Who are you?" Roy asked.
"Thea Queen and don't try to steal from me, since I've literally been cut off from my family's fortune until earlier today." Thea said, since she certainly didn't look like she was rich.
"Still." Roy said, and Thea could tell he was casing her anyways.
"Okay, I'd say I didn't want to do this, but that would be a lie." Thea said with a grin as she summoned a little godly strength as she punched him back into the wall.
"Damn, you pack a mean right hook." Roy said.
"Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet." Thea said with a grin as she walked up to him, very glad, he was still on the ground, since she wasn't sure if this would work, but Artemis had told her that she could do this and it was time to put that to the test.
"What?" Roy asked as before he could respond, Thea took a deep breath as she placed her hands on either side of Roy's forehead and focused on the old reality, hoping this would work as she once again summoned her god power and let it flow into Roy's mind as she unlocked his pre Crisis memories.
After she finished, she got off of him and hoped that it had worked and that she hadn't just scrambled his brain.
However her worries were for nothing, since when Roy recovered, he looked up to Thea and smiled.
"Why'd you get up? I was just fine with you down here." Roy said with a smirk, as Thea helped him up.
"Because you abandoned me in the middle of nowhere and totally ghosted me. Ring any bells?" Thea asked.
"Yeah, I really am sorry about that, Thea." Roy said, only for Thea to smack him.
"Don't be sorry, just don't do that again. Seriously, I'm tired of dealing with you constantly ghosting on me. You do it again and Ollie isn't the Queen you need to be afraid of." Thea promised.
"Don't worry, your brother and Dig set me straight. Besides, I haven't done any of the things that gave me a reason to ghost you in the first place, since I haven't been dosed with Mirakuru or killed any innocent people yet." Roy said.
"And you never will, since I want you to leave Star City with me, since I'm only in town for a few days." Thea said.
"Where are you going?" Roy asked.
"San Francisco. It's a long story, but I want you to come out there with me." Thea said.
"Does this story have anything to do with how you can remind me of a world where I lost my arm?" Roy asked.
"It does and all you need to know about that is that if you ghost me again, I'll make that real in this world too." Thea said and Roy could tell that she wasn't kidding.
"Are you sure you want to leave Star City now? You don't want to wait for Oliver to come home?" Roy asked.
"No, Star City is his mission. Mine is in San Francisco." Thea said.
"Okay, just checking. Now, I just have one more question." Roy said.
"Okay?" Thea asked, raising an eyebrow at him warningly.
"Where am I going to get my suit, since Cisco has no idea who I am or about these super suits." Roy said.
"He didn't make your suit in the old reality." Thea pointed out.
"True, but that suit was made by one of Oliver's contacts." Roy said.
"Don't worry, we'll figure something out. But, does this mean that you're moving out to San Francisco with me?" Thea asked and Roy nodded.
"Yeah, I am. But we're not telling your mom about that until Oliver gets back to vouch for me right?" Roy asked.
"You really think Oliver will vouch for you? He'll probably throw you under the bus to my mom just so he can watch you squirm and Emiko will help him." Thea said.
"You mean your kind of evil but in the end turned out to not be so bad half sister?" Roy asked and Thea nodded.
"Yeah, in this reality, Emiko grew up as an adopted Queen, since mom didn't want the scandal about dad having an affair out, even though she had one too." Thea said.
"Sounds like Moira." Roy said and Thea smiled.
"Yep. Now go pack your stuff and I'll buy you out of your lease, so we can get to San Francisco." Thea said.
"Do you have a place lined up out there?" Roy asked.
"More or less. I have an old friend who lives out there and he said we can stay with him until we find our own place." Thea said.
"Wait, he?" Roy asked as Thea rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, he's just a friend. Not to mention he's around Ollie's age and is more his friend than mine." Thea said.
"What's his name?" Roy asked.
"Dick Grayson." Thea said.
