MIRACLE (Oliver Queen x Slade Wilson)

Merlyn *shudders*

*Slade*

"I want to stay with you"

Those words gave me a feeling in my chest I had never had before, not even with my ex-wife. I nuzzle the top of his head and quietly purr.

"You are perfect." I said in his ear. I hear a throat clearing obnoxiously loud. I pick my head up to see Thea with an awkward look on her face.

"What?" I growled out.

"Uh...Nothing." She says quietly. I picked Oliver up with his legs around my waist and arms around my neck. I open his door with my foot and carry him to the bed in the middle of the room. I open the covers and slide in next to him. I wrap the blanket around both of us and pull Oliver into my arms, breathing in his amazing scent. I close my eyes and let the darkness overwhelm me. Maybe for once I could get a good nights sleep with my arms around my mate.

*Thea*

I don't like the idea of having him in our house, free the do whatever he wants. I go to my room and shut the door behind me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked the shadow in the corner of my room.

"Just checking on my daughter, can't I do that?" Malcolm asked.

"Not when he kidnaps her and her friends, and put them on an island." I angrily said, clenching my fists.

"I did it for a cause, aren't you happy that your brother finally met his mate?"

"No! This is not what you said" I said referring to the deal me and him made.

"I said I would find Oliver someone I found fit to be his mate. Don't twist my words around." Malcolm says with his usual calm demeanor.

"Slade is not what I meant!"

"He is what I meant. He is strong and able to keep Oliver from falling over the edge. I think you should be thanking him, he has saved Oliver many times from the brink of death." He was slowly walking towards me. I stepped back and lowly growl.

"I don't know what you did to my brother, but you need to reverse it now!" I yelled.

"I didn't do anything. I recognized the signs of love so I made a deal with a man stuck in a cage." Malcolm said smirking.

"You are crazy! Now my brother might be stuck with that madman forever!" I yelled forgetting for a second that there was others in the house. Someone knocked on the door 3 times.

"Everything okay in here?" Ainsley poked her head in the door. Surprise showed on her face and she quickly got out of there.

"Looks like my que to leave." He opened up my widow and jumped out. I didn't check out like I usually did, the anger was too high to check for his safety. I opened my door and walked out to the hallway, seeing Ainsley going towards the living room. She was seated on the couch, sipping a cup and something hot. The steam rising and fogging up some glasses I had never seen with her before.

"My friend Izzy happened to have my glasses in her purse so I didn't have to have those annoying contacts in." She said at my questing looks.

"Are we going to talk about what you saw?" I said.

"I saw a dead man talking to his daughter about their plans for getting her brother a mate." She looked a little angry but I wasn't sure why. "I might be happy that you helped my ship come true, I am mad that you decided to walk into Oliver's love life without his knowing, or permission." I glanced away from her face looking at the clock on the wall next to me. 10:37. I looked back at her and she was back to sipping her hot beverage.

"What are you drinking?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Don't change the subject and its Butterfinger coffee." She had her eyebrow raised slightly.

"Why Butterfinger?" I ask.

"It tastes great that's why." Her lips were in a thin line. I hadn't yet seen herlike this. She is usually smiles like the whole world was a candy shop and her parents gave her 100 dollars.

"Well I am going to go to bed" I said awkwardly.

"Close you window don't want any late night visits." Ainsley said heading up the stairs, me right behind her.

*Malcolm*

"What did you do?!?" Tommy yelled at me.

"I brought you back. I think I deserve a thank you." I said calmly.

"I would thank you but all you brought me back for was for this stupid plan of ours! I am not going to help you get revenge on my best friend!" He was more upset than I thought he would be. I thought he might be glad even to help in my plan.

"I thought you would be glad, you two weren't on the best of terms last time I checked." I was lowly walking towards him till I was almost in his face.

"Back off!" He pushed on my chest not doing much. "I will not help you kill my friend!"

I laugh quietly. "Yes you will." I take out the gun and insert the chip in his neck before he can do anything.

"What do you need master?"
