The Hero In the Dark

Risk

Olivia went back into herself. Grabbing one last weapon she left the room locking it behind herself.
She wasted no time running down the hall trying to find her way to dispute the dark making it harder.

She fought off men as they came at her all with their own assortment of weapons but she had something on them. She's young, fast, and agile. She kept going till the got out of hallways and finding herself in a large room. She was no longer in the wear-house she was at. They were in an old abandon factory one she didn't recognize for a moment until it hit her. A shipping factory. Some packages still lay on their spots where they where left abandoned.

"Get her!" She looked up to see the young Gillard. An Army of men poured into the room surrounding her. Without her powers she was useless she couldn't do anything.

They got closer and as they inched closer she felt ready to drop her weapons. Ready to give up. "Little Queen lost her powers." Gillard smiled. Olivia felt as her legs started to collapse bellow her. "I'm very curious as to how. I was watching you for years. Amazing powers the both of you."

"Then why'd you take one of us?"

"You're kidding me right? Your brother's powers are the strongest I've ever seen. Of course, I'm going to pick him over you." Olivia looked behind him seeing her brother come into view.

"Do you like what you did? Ripping a family apart. Having Tommy kill his own parents?"

Gillard got down to her eye level. His face so close to her own she pulled away till he grabbed her face pulling closer to her. Whispering in her ear his hot breath touching her that only made her squirm. "I did. Why not get back at the Green Arrow by letting his own son kill him and his family." Olivia had to leave her mind. She could see through her brother's eyes. He was still there under that brainwashing Gillard had put in his mind. If she could see through his eyes she had to be able to pull her brother out of his own mind. Pull him back and help her.

Tommy. Tommy, I know you're in there.

Olivia watched as Tommy blinked and looked away from his boss for a moment. Gillard looked at Olivia. She waisted, not a moment preparing herself. She wiped out of his grip and threw her face into his. She heard the crack when their faces collided but it wasn't from her. Blood started dripping from his nose making him hold his hand to it. "Might want to wipe your mouth. There's still some bull shit there." She said.

Gillard stood up and grabbed her by her hair pulling her he walked.

TOMMY!

"What are you going to do, if my brother and I aren't born. Then What? We'll disappear. And you'll be weak."

"You'll be born everything's still on schedule."

"You can't make my parents sleep together. We've got a week. Maybe. I feel it." Olivia needed the distraction because she was screaming for her brother in her mind. He dropped her onto the ground and brought his hand to her throat. Squeezing with all the strength he could muster. Killing her with his bare hands able to see the light drain from her eyes instead of from a distance with powers.

Olivia struggled still screaming for her brother in her mind. But something followed. The memories of them when they where children. With her parents. Memories of the others who've been in her life until she stopped on her and Sean. The last day today. Laying in the bed together the shine of the sun hitting and hearing their skin.

The heat and the pounding her heart she felt a change. A change in her bones but so much frustration built she knew she had to let go.

"AAAAAAA!" Olivia screamed instead of her forcefield appearing knocking everyone away it was like her strength of force letting out around her pushing Gillard back and knocking everyone else around her to the ground. Olivia stood looking at her hands. Her force field before was so different from that. In color. In shape. And strength It was almost as if it was her.

Gillard went after her again. She quickly put up her hand a force field appearing at his feet tripping him."Guess I found my powers." Olivia turned invisible everyone put their guns up but all she could do was look at her brother who's grown to look like their father. He struggled as he heard her voice in his head.

Olivia needed more. Needed to show him more. She could see through his eyes, talk to him, maybe she could send their memories. She ran past everyone she could and to her brother. She wrapped her arms around him allowing herself to appear again. She kept a force field up around them allowing nothing and no one to get through to them. He tried to fight but she held her grip sending the memories to him.

"No..." Olivia's head ached at the sound of her brother's pain. She continued to send the memories. Holding hands as they ran in the park. The fights they had over stupid reasons. Sitting in the hospital after the excellorator explosion. Training together. But she sent him the memory of the night he was taken. Making him feel the loss and pain she had felt."Noo!!" She pushed the memory of when they were ten Laying the same bed face to face.

"Do you think we'll die on the same day? Like we were born on the same day?"Olivia asked. Tommy intertwined their fingers.

"I know we will. We're twins. Nothing will ever tear us apart." Tommy squeezed her hand and she did the same.

"Keep your promise, Tommy," Olivia said.

"Let me GOOO!" Everyone around them went flying to the walls. Olivia and Tommy fell down to their knees. After a second she pulled away looking into his eyes. The eyes that held the same shade of blue as their fathers but their mother's shape. The eyes that held her Brother and not something that was controlling him.

"You're back.." Olivia couldn't stop the tears from falling. She heard the commotion behind her. Hearing her godfather's voice and guns going off. Diggle got the kids and the others fended off everyone going after them. But it wasn't long before all were quickly out of there before anything else could happen.

"Are you nuts!" Diggle crossed his arms and looked at the kids in front of I'm. Looking at Tommy he saw a younger version of his best friend. Looking at Olivia he saw the young woman he's seen since she's arrived. A strong, stubborn, amazing girl who surprises him every second. "Risking your life and for what? All you had to do was tell me, and we could have been there backing you up. Instead, you got tortured for fun, and nearly got both of you killed."

"They actually would have just brainwashed me again," Tommy said as he lifted his hand.

"I don't care."

"Well, I did it because there might not be a us to care about in a few days anyway." Olivia stood matching Diggle's stance. She's been feeling it for the past few days. A lightness. Avoid. As if she wasn't fully there. But the more time that passes the stronger the feeling grew. At the moment she felt as if she could walk through walls. Tommy had been so deep in a trance for so long he only just started to feel it.

Their time was running out. There was nothing they could do. Nothing was in their control anymore.

All they could do is wait.
