(Book 5 Arrow/Spn xover) Family Is Who You'll Kill For

When It All Comes Tumbling Down

"All right then," Dean said, "You willing to let us into his place?" 

Thea shook her head, "No. It's better if he's knocked out before you guys show up and there's too much security at his place."

Felicity pulled open one of the drawers that held weapons and assorted other tools of the vigilante trade. "Here, it's the tranquilizer Oliver uses on his arrows," she handed Thea a vial of clear liquid, "Put it in his drink, make the drink strong or he may taste it. It should have him on the ground in a minute or so." 

Thea took the vial and tucked it into her purse. "Fine." 

Sam saw through her attempt at blanking out her expression as she tried to stay emotionless and focused, but he knew better then to bring it up then. It wouldn't help make things any easier if she broke down now. 

"Dean, Dig and I will be right outside the door," he told her, instead of what he really wanted to say, "If he tries anything or seems to be on to you just yell." 

"I can handle myself," she snapped. "I'm not an idiot or a child." 

"No one is saying you are either of those," Sam assured her, "But you know you're no match for him if he tries to fight, I don't care how much you trained with him. We're just here to help, okay?"

Her eyes narrowed briefly then she looked away from him and nodded, "Okay. Let me call him and get him to come over to my place for dinner. There's less weapons there and it's smaller, better for all this." She pulled her phone out of her pocket, pushed a button and they were all impressed at how she made her voice completely different than the expression on her face. "Hi Dad," there was absolutely no hint of the anger that swam in her eyes when she spoke, "I'm fine, I'm in the mood to cook and wanted to try to make that lamb dish we loved to eat after training all day. Want to come over? Seven? Sure. See ya then, love you." 

She hung up, shoved her phone back into her pants pocket and headed towards the stairs, "Come scope out my place, we've got a few hours. Dig you stay here just in case he's got someone watching my house. Sam and Dean can tell you what it looks like. I can pass them off as construction guys or something if he asks. I'll tell him I am thinking of remodeling the condo." She was halfway up the stairs by the time the brothers realized that she had taken over the whole operation. They shot a quick look at Dig who shrugged, Thea stopped moving, "He didn't just train me in fighting, he trained me how to plan things like this. Like I said, I'm not an idiot. Now are you coming or not?"  She didn't look back down at them, just resumed going up the stairs, Sam looked at Dean who nodded and they caught up with her. 

They didn't speak the entire way to her house since Dean had to put all his focus on keeping up with her driving. It was fairly obvious that she was taking a large amount of her emotions out on her car. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they finally pulled into the parking lot of a high end high rise. She got out of the car, barely kept herself from slamming the door and stalked towards the elevators. 

"That was nerve wracking," Dean muttered to Sam as they followed along behind her.

"To say the least." 

She lived on the third floor, the elevator ride was as silent as the car trip, her door was a few down from the elevator, she unlocked it, let them in and slammed it behind them making Sam and Dean jump.

"Nice place," Dean stated, "You lose less money then Oliver did after the takeover?" 

"Oliver lives here now," she replied, "When he's not off being stupid or running around in green leather I guess. Malcolm helped me get this place." 

Dean winced, "Uh, oh. Sorry." 

She jerked her head towards the stairs, "Bedrooms are up there, look around, just don't touch anything. Standing in the hall won't work, the security guard here is pretty good and watches everything on monitors. If he sees three huge guys standing by my door he'll call someone. There are two bedrooms up there you can stay in and I have a private elevator you can carry him down. If you stay quiet he won't know you're here."
