The Hero In the Dark

Battles

Olivia sat on top of the table her legs crossed and the feeling of her parents glares on her. Which wasn't helping her concentrate. "Can we stop with the starring. Look away, do something else."

"If you want your brother you're gonna to have to locate him get inside his head." Oliver pressed on.

"I just found out about these stupid powers. I'm not fully sure how they work!"

"Hey," Felicity stepped up and put her hands on her daughter's cheeks making Olivia look at her. Felicity knew if she could calm down Oliver at his worst, surely she could do the same for her daughter."You've done this before. You're the only one. You're stronger than your brother. You've been through so much since the day he went missing but you're still standing, still fighting. You know how to control it. You just need more faith in yourself that you already know." Olivia nodded then closed her eyes. "You're Olivia Queen. You can do whatever you set your mind to."

Olivia took a deep breath as Felicity stepped back. Olivia concentrated. Focusing on her brother. Herring a lot of voices at first she tried to hoan in on Tommy. The boy who shared who parents with her. The boy who she spent months in the same womb with her.

The boy who beat up a boy who called her ugly then pushed her to the ground in kindergarten. Tommy her brother who promised that they'd die on the same day as her.

She opened his eyes. She could see everything he could. But she needed more than what was around him since it just in a cement. Room. She went backtraced his steps through his memories. Following as he went to a shipping ground. Shipping containers filling the lot around it with enough walking room in between each. Men held guns. And Gillard held her brother by his hair. The further back she went she saw the sign. Sterling City Shipping Docks, ground 5. Olivia pulled herself out of his head and looked to her parents.

"There in the Shipping grounds."

"Let's go." Olivia followed her father's order and walked over to the glass cases that held their suits. Olivia's laid on a table folded. She picked it up and quickly made her way to put it on.

She strapped on her boots tight. She then made her way to the weapons rack. Guns, swords, batons, even Curtis tech. But what caught her eye was the first weapon she was ever trained to use. She grabbed one of the spare arrows and a quiver full of Felicity's high tech arrows. She stopped it onto her body as she turned. She saw her father in his suit and both nodded to each other. They put their earpieces in and ran for the motorcycle. Olivia held onto Oliver as he sped across the city. Olivia kept her hold onto her brother glance through seeing his position. Oliver followed Felicity's direction. When Oliver had stopped at the shopping ground she closed taking in her surroundings seeing if she could feel her brothers presence anywhere. She could and that made her lip curl in the corner. She started making her way through the shipping containers not realizing the rest of team Arrow had arrived to help. "Liv!" Oliver whisper yelled to his daughter as she got out of sight. She knew the way as she looked back at her brother's memories. Following every step until she reached the building in the center of the mess of the shipping containers. But it wasn't without a fight. A man dressed in all black, along with a kevlar vest, attacked her. She fought back.

She won her fights. It ended with him on his stomach face down and her foot on his back. She grabbed the back of his shirt pulling him up to her mouth was near his ear."Where's my brother!"

"Nice try girl." His said with a smile. She threw him onto his back punching him hard enough to make him pass out. She continued on Oliver not too far behind. He saw a familiar anger in her. She pushed her way through fighting every person, Oliver helping. A woman with platinum blond hair stepped up. Her dress black and short. The big gun didn't scare Olivia as she put her force field around herself. The woman shot at it only to have the bullets return back to her shooting her. Olivia grabbed the woman by the dresses straps holding her up."Where's my brother?"

"In the cellar." The woman whispered. Oliva dropped her.

"Liv!"

"No!" Olivia ran, turning invisible so no one could see her. She opened every door yet again fighting every person she could be she quickly started feeling weak. She found the door to the cellar only to find a giant tall bald man. He got her and found a quick hold. He cuffed her. He dragged her to where she wanted. But it wasn't into the cellar. It was back out to the main floor. Where Oliver stood held by two men he struggled seeing his kids both in distress trying to get out of the grips of Gillard's Goons. "Coward, can't even fight your own battles."Olivia teased.

A simple nod of the head and one of his goons walked over hitting hit across the face. Blood falling from her lips."HEY!" Oliver yelled.

"I've finally got you." Gillard put his hands behind him."I thought your brother was more powerful...but you..."Gillard's smirk was evil and sickening."You're...special."

"So what? You're gonna brain was me? Use me to get whatever you want just like you did to him?"

"I can try. But we all know how stubborn you are."

"Queen trait. Another one is kicking the ass of people who hurt those we love. Most don't walk away."

"Keep talking girl. You're just making me all more willing to wipe those lovely memories of yours."

"I dare you. I double dog dare you, I even triple dare you. But you and your goons aren't walking out of here just like your sweetheart over there." Olivia smiled. She knew something that he didn't. She knew something that no one, not even her best friend knows. Gillard snapped his fingers and a man, in his 40's, clearly highly medicated as a man took handcuffs off of him. "Wipe her." Gillard walked over to Tommy's side.

"NO!" Tommy and Oliver screamed. Olivia smiled that she couldn't hear her mothers voice. She had turned it off after the woman with the platinum blond hair shot herself. The man who had captured her had walked away to the line of men behind Gillard all ready to watch the show."LIV!"Tommy struggled as the man walked over placing a hand on her head. She could feel it. Him reaching in her mind starting at the beginning trying to rip them away from her. But nothing gave. Olivia fought him off. He struggled to breathe as she grew angrier.

He reached the memories she barely let herself touch. Sean. She grew to furious as he passed the first kiss, the first times, the first I love you. She screamed. A shockwave sending him sliding to Gillard's feet. Olivia looked to Gillard, her eyes glowing purple and full of anger. She stood removing her cuffs with ease dropping them on the floor."Attack" Gillard ordered.

Everyone started after her only for her to put up her hand her forcefield growing pushing everyone away except those she wanted to keep in. Oliver and Tommy running to her. Everyone was pushed to the walls all being suffocated and crushed against the walls. She dropped the force field."Go." she told them, her eyes still glowing.

"No." Tommy said."We fight together."

Olivia put force fields around every box, every obstacle and shrunk them to the size of a tac leaving nothing but Gillard and his goons.

"Back up is here!" Wild Dog yelled as he dropped from the ceiling. Dinah Drake next to him."Make it an even fight."

Everyone started fighting Oliver taking Gillard clearly mad from trying to hurt his kids. Olivia fought the masked man until she had him shoot himself in the leg. She even pushed Wild Dog's man against the wall only to receive an annoyed look.

"I had him."

"If you say." Olivia turned her head to the sound of another gunshot only to see the pile of boxes she didn't bother to shrink in the corner catch fire. The couple hundred tanks of oxygen and gas clear."Oh no..."

"Scatter!"Dinah yelled to the team."It's gonna explode!" Oliver almost had Gillard. Olivia used her powers allowing Oliver to tie him up. Once done everyone started running Olivia stood her ground ready to use her powers.

"Liv, No!"Oliver yelled

"Go! I have to stop it or it will blow up the whole block. There's gas in those shipping containers and lots of it. Go!" when Tommy refused she pushed him out with her powers. She put the force field up just in time, it growing as the explosion grew. Growing stronger with every tank that blew.

"AAAAAAAAAA"
