Sara's Decision

Chapter 47

A week later Quentin and Ruve were having another debate for the mayor of Star City. Quentin really seemed to know what the people wanted because after the debate he had an even bigger lead over Ruve in the polls. As the debate was over the two candidates got together and shook hands, which allowed Quentin to slip the bug in her pocket so that the team could listen in on any meetings that HIVE had.

They had some luck with that as it seemed the Ruve went right to the bubble city and had a meeting with the other members of HIVE. Through the bug, the team found out that HIVE was about a month away from moving people into the city so that they could start up with their plan of blowing up the world.

"Ok, so it looks like all of the members of HIVE are already living in the dome. We just need a plan to destroy the place before any innocents are taken there to live." Oliver said.

"I might have an idea about that." Barbara said.

"What's your idea?" Sara asked.

"The west wall of the dome is right next to the bay. You can blow a hole in that wall and it will flood the place." Barbara said.

"That is actually a good idea. I don't know why we didn't think of it earlier." Oliver said.

"So, when are we planning on doing this? They are all there now. If we let any of them live, they can just start this up all over again. They are too dangerous to be left alive." Sara said.

"I am fine going to do it now, but I will let everyone have a say in this. If you want to wait for tomorrow just let me know." Oliver said.

"Let's do it now." Thea said.

"I agree." Laurel said.

"I am with them, let's do it now." Roy said.

"I agree. Get it over with now." Emiko said.

"You know how I feel about it." Sara said.

"Ok, so I guess we are doing this tonight." Oliver said.

"What's about Dark's daughter?" Barbara asked.

"Shit, I didn't think about that." Oliver said.

"What are your thoughts on this Sara? You are from the future after all." Laurel asked.

"She was evil for a little while, but she changed, and she worked with the team that I was working with and we became pretty good friends." Sara said.

"Ok, so we save her. I will go and get the girl while the rest of you set the charges." Oliver said and everyone nodded in agreement.

The team found what looked like a storm drain that was out of place and then knew that it was most likely the entrance to the dome. They entered the dome and were surprised at how real everything looked there. There were so many houses. This place could house half of the city at least.

The team separated and Oliver went to go and get the girl and Emiko followed him. "Hey, what's going on? You are supposed to be helping the others." Oliver said.

"I thought you could use a hand. I am pretty good at using stealth, just like you. The others haven't really learned that yet. I won't get in your way. I promise." Emiko said.

"Ok. You know Sara is pretty good at the stealth thing as well, but she is out of commission for a while. I guess we need to work on that with the rest of the team. Let's go and get the girl so we can get out of here." Oliver said.

Oliver and Emiko found the house that the Darhks were living in and they snuck in and found Nora's room. They didn't want her to make any noise, so they gave her enough tranquilizer to last until they got her out of the dome. They left the house and started running for the entrance to the dome.

When Oliver and Emiko got to the entrance, they saw that Laurel, Thea and Roy were waiting there for them. They all left the dome and once they were back on the streets of the Glades, Oliver pulled out the detonator and pushed the button and the charges blew.

Oliver got on the comms with Barbara and asked, "Can you tell if this worked or not?"

"Yes, the camara that you set up is showing that the dome is filling up really fast. The members of HIVE are scrambling trying to find a way out, but they won't because the entrance is already covered." Barbara said.

"I really do hate that we had to do this to some of those people, but if we left them alive, who knows what they would have done next." Oliver said.

"It was really the only option. Get Nora to the police station and then come back here and we will all call it a night." Sara said.

After Oliver dropped Nora off at the front door of the police department, still passed out, he returned to the bunker to see that it was only Barbara and Sara still there.

"So, what do we have to look forward to next?" Oliver asked.

"Well, if everything is still the same, you will come up against a man named Prometheus. You beat the shit out of him a few times, but you always had to let him go because he always had something on you. Like one time he had your girlfriend, the next time he had William. He really beat you mentally." Sara said.

"Well, we will just have to make sure that doesn't happen then." Oliver said.

"I think it will work out better if we all stay close to each other. That's what happened last time. He knew your schedules and he picked you off one by one, until only you were left, and he had everyone taken to Lian Yu for your final battle." Sara said.

"Sounds like staying together might be for the best until we finish this guy off. We will talk to the others tomorrow. It will be just like it was at the beginning, when we all lived in the same place. I guess we can move back in there since everyone else is still there." Oliver said.

"Yeah, that would probably be the easiest way to do this. We will get this straight tomorrow. Let's go home and get some rest." Sara said as they both left the bunker.
