WestAllen: SecondGeneration (Book 3)

Chapter 10: Dahrk Rises

"Andy. You're. You're working for him?" Laurel said breathlessly under her mask. Dahrk smirked a little as he kept a tight grip on Andy. Henry gave a warning glare over towards Laurel. She had basically just given him the hint of who they were. Dahrk smirked standing in his place. "It's all very touching isn't it? I mean. I wouldn't blame him. It isn't technically his fault. Let's just say for the time being.. He's not exactly himself." Dahrk looked over at Laurel. "Didn't I kill you once before?" Dahrk asked looking at Laurel's figure confused for a split second. "You drugged him! You brainwashed him just like.." Laurel hissed ignoring Dahkr's question. He smirked. "Perhaps I may have the privilege in killing you again... You're really too smart for your own good Laurel." "No!" Andy hissed beginning to struggle from Dahrk's grip." Henry speeded ahead of Laurel to block her from Dahrk's view. "Over my dead body.." Dahrk let out a laugh. "I just love it when people say that. I am sure that can be arranged."

"You know. I hadn't planned on showing myself at all. I was planning on, once I was restored, to just hide out, and start a new life with my daughter. Go under a new name completely. Besides. Isn't that what I wanted from the start? A new genesis?" Henry glanced over at Laurel and Sarah. Dahrk thought he was Barry. "But then. To my surprise. One day.. I was just minding my own business, trying to spend some time with my daughter, when I see him on the news." Dahrk said pointing towards Andy's direction. "Speaking of how the flash and arrow have decided to make their comeback... And then I see the black canary.. Has risen as well. And a thought occurred to me. If they all have come back... Then why.. Can't.. I have my big comeback as well?" He smirked.

"No. Laurel hasn't come back since this afternoon... I assumed that the three of them were hanging out." Oliver said into the phone as he had seen John call and could hear a worried expression in his voice. "Sarah rarely ever just disappears..." "I'll meet you at the foundry.." Oliver hung up and began to make his way out the door. "What's going on?" Felicity asked walking over to him as she had heard Oliver's urgent voice. He glances over at her. "I think our kids might be in trouble." "I'm coming with.." Felicity said grabbing her jacket. "No. Besides. I have John coming with me." Felicity rolled her eyes. "You might need my help to track where they are." Oliver sighed knowing she was right. "Come on.." He said not having much time to argue. Oliver quickly exited the house with Felicity following him, reaching the foundry about the same time as John had.

Once they were inside the foundry, Felicity sat at the computer and got to work setting up the security locations hoping that this time they hadn't thought to block the cameras. Once Felicity had finally got a hit, she stared at the screen going rather pale. "Oh no.." She muttered. "What is it?" Oliver and John asked at the same time as Oliver leaned in to look at the computer screen. Oliver suddenly grew angry seeing who Felicity had spotted through the security cameras. "How the hell is he still alive!" Oliver hissed. He went to the case quickly getting on his suit and grabbing his bow and arrow. John quickly followed Oliver back out of the exit getting his gun ready.

"Let him go!" John hissed coming from around the corner of the warehouse holding his gun up pointing it at Dahrk. He still had a hold of Andy and now had gotten a hold of Laurel as well. Dahrk looked up as he heard John's voice. "Mr. Diggle. What a pleasure it is to see you again.." An evil smirk appeared on his face. "How is your brother doing these days?" John continued glaring at Dahrk, getting his finger ready to pull the trigger. "I am sure that you don't want his son to end up the same way as him would you?" Dahrk then moved his arms so Andy and Laurel were right in front of his view. "Or her?" Oliver's heart was pounding fast as he watched. He couldn't make any foolish moves or one or both of them could get hurt, or worse.

"I would choose very wisely if I was you.." Dahrk said glancing at the group. John let out a small sigh. He slowly lowered his gun, but Oliver kept his bow and arrow at the ready. John glanced over at his daughter. "Get out of here!" He hissed. Sarah was glued to the spot, torn at what to do. She wanted to help her friends, but she didn't want to put anyone else in danger. "Now!" John yelled. Sarah quickly exited the warehouse.
