The Return of the Queens

Chapter 24

A few days later the team was in the lair and they were getting prepared for Slade and any soldiers that he could have created with the mirakuru in his blood. Laurel, Barbara, and Sara would have tranq guns with the cure in the darts, while Oliver and Thea would have the cure in tranq arrows.

"Ok, does everyone know what they need to do when we hear about Slade making a move?" Oliver said.

"Yeah, we know what to do Ollie. We just need to wait for Sara to have a vision." Thea said.

"Have you had any feeling of what might be going on?" Oliver asked Sara.

"Let me see if I can get anything now. Sara said.

She concentrated for a second and then it looked like she was in a trance. She saw that Slade was going to attack the police. She got a glimpse of a clock and it said nine o'clock pm. She came back to her senses and told them what she saw.

"He is going to attack the SCPD tonight at nine. We need to be there waiting for him." Sara said.

"We will be. Did he have any soldiers with him?" Thea asked.

"Yeah, looked like it could have been about twenty to twenty-five of them." Sara said.

"Ok, so we need to get going. We only have thirty minutes until Slade attacks." Oliver said.

Everyone went to change and get ready to leave to get to the SCPD. Once they were all ready, they left to go to the SCPD. It took them about fifteen minutes to get there. When the team got there, they had fifteen minutes to wait. Oliver saw Slade and his soldiers approaching and he shot one of the soldiers with the cure and He could see that the guy fell to the ground and looked to be out.

"Looks like the cure knocks them out for a while as well. That could really help so that we don't have to worry about them coming and attacking after they are cured." Oliver said.

"You are right about that. It will help us a lot to not have to worry about others that are already cured." Thea said.

Sara shot one of them in the neck with a dart and the same thing happened with her guy as it did with Oliver's. They now knew what would happen, so they started to fire as quickly as possible and taking out as many of the soldiers as they could.

"This is going better than I thought it would. It just seems too easy." Laurel said.

"It won't be this easy to take Slade down. It will take all of us to be able to do that." Oliver said.

"Why would he be any different from the rest?" Barbara asked.

"Because of the armor he is wearing and also because Slade is a trained fighter where theses other guys are not." Oliver said.

"Ok, I didn't think about that. So, what is the plan when we are only left with Slade?" Barbara asked.

"We need to attack him from all sides. He can't stop all of us. It will catch him off guard. Even that plan will take a lot of work to finish him off because he is so good." Thea said.

"Ok, so we have a great fighter here who is smart and on a super soldier serum. How could that go wrong for us?" Sara asked sarcastically.

"Oh, there are many ways that this could go back. He used to kick my ass on a regular basis on the island." Oliver said.

"Wait. So, does that mean that he kicked your ass as well Thea?" Laurel asked.

"He did a few times. He really didn't train me that much. Shado did most of my training because she knew how to teach a woman to fight." Thea said.

They finished with the last soldier and they now knew that it was time to go after Slade. The five heroes circled around Slade and started to attack. Oliver and Thea went on the attack first. Laurel, Sara and Barbara were trying to shoot him with the cure, but they were not able to get it through Slade's armor. We need to get in close so that we can get a shot at his neck. It is the only place that the armor is vulnerable.

Sara got up as close as she could and picked up and arrow that Oliver had tried to shoot at Slade. When she got close Slade put his hand around her neck and lifted her up. She was at a good angle for him stick the arrow in Slade's neck and she did just that.

"What the hell did she just do to me kid?" Slade asked.

"You no longer have the mirakuru in your system. You are just as normal as any of us now." Oliver said.

"I hate you kid. This changes nothing." Slade said.

"That's fine but I am done blaming myself for Shado's death, so you can blame me as much as you won't, but I am done blaming myself." Oliver said.

"I will kill you kid. One day I will find a way to kill you!" Slade yelled at Oliver as he tried to attack him.

Oliver and Slade fought for a while with it being an even fight but then Oliver finally got the upper hand and was able to knock him out.

"Ok, tie all of these guys up. It is a good thing that we are already at a police station. That way they don't have to drive somewhere to take all of these guys in." Thea said.

"We will take Slade with us. We will send him to ARGUS. He will be able to escape a normal jail cell." Oliver said.

"Are you really just going to turn him over to Waller? You know she will put him on the Suicide Squad." Thea said.

"That is my hope. That way he will be able to work his time off. I think that once the mirakuru wears off, he will be the Slade that we remember." Oliver said.

"I hope you are right. Anyways, let's get out of here and get him into ARGUS custody." Thea said and they all left to go to ARGUS to turn Slade in.
