Frosty Arrow

Chapter 10

The next morning, Oliver entered Andy's cell to find him freezing.

"Have a nice night?" Oliver asked poker faced, finding immense pleasure in Andy's suffering.

"What do you want to know?" Andy asked, and Oliver could tell that Andy was willing to talk.

"What is Darhk's ark?" Oliver asked.

"You figured out his plan?" Andy asked shivering.

"Yep, we know why he wanted Rubicon, but now, I'm going to ask you again, what is Darhk's ark?" Oliver asked.

"He's built a city under the Glades." Andy said.

"That's why he needed control of the mayor's office." Oliver realized and Andy nodded as Oliver tossed him a jacket.

"If you're lying to me." Oliver warned.

"I'm not." Andy assured him.

"You better not be, for your own sake." Oliver said as he walked away.

"So, did Andy tell you what the Ark is?" John asked.

"It's a city under the glades. Should've figured." Oliver said.

"Seems like another thing Darhk and Merlyn have in common is that they both have plans for the Glades." Felicity said.

"We need to find a way into that city." Oliver said.

"Agreed. But how." Laurel asked.

"First, we need to figure out how they could've built the city without anyone noticing." John said.

"It might help that Darhk's wife is the mayor." Felicity pointed out and Oliver nodded.

"Good point." Oliver agreed.

"Didn't Ruve announce some kind of project in the sewers?" Laurel asked.

"You're right, Felicity see if you can find out where exactly that construction was supposed to take place. Once we know that, we can find a way in." Oliver said and Felicity nodded.

"I'm on it." Felicity said as she moved over to her keyboard.

"We could really use Nyssa here, since Roy's in prison and Thea's MIA." Oliver said.

"I called Nyssa, she said she'd be here as soon as she can." Laurel said.

"Good, but we can't afford to wait for her." John said.

"Then it is a good thing I was already en route to Star City when I got Laurel's call." Nyssa said as she entered the bunker.

"It's good to see you." Oliver said.

"Unfortunately this was not going to be a social visit. Oliver, I have something important to tell you." Nyssa said.

"It can wait until after we rescue Thea." Oliver said.

"Very well, I agree that stopping what remains of Darhk's plans is paramount." Nyssa agreed.

"And I just found your way in. There's a sewer entrance in a part of the Glades that's supposed to have no sewer access. Something tells me that's your way in." Felicity said.

"Suit up." Oliver said as he, John and Laurel went for their suits, since Laurel had replaced the Black Canary suit on her mannequin to her new Khione suit.

"New suit Laurel?" Nyssa asked.

"To go with a new skill set. I'll show you in the field." Laurel said and Nyssa just nodded.

"Overwatch, you sure this is it?" Green Arrow asked as he, Spartan, Khione and Nyssa arrived at the coordinates she'd given them.

"Yeah why?" Overwatch asked.

"This sewer grate looks pretty old." Khione said.

"Camouflage. No doubt it was made to look old to fool people." Nyssa said and Green Arrow nodded.

"One way to find out." Green Arrow said as he fired an explosive arrow, blowing up the grate and making an entrance for them.

"Let's go." Green Arrow said as Khione stepped forward.

"Grab on." Khione said as Green Arrow and Spartan did just that.

"What are you going to do?" Nyssa asked.

"Just watch." Khione said as Nyssa sighed but did what she asked.

"Hold on tight." Khione said as she created her ice slide to take them down the grate with ease.

"Interesting." Nyssa said.

"You ain't seen anything yet." Spartan said as he pulled out his guns and Green Arrow and Nyssa raised their bows, Khione ready to shoot ice at any moment.

"How the hell did Hive do all this, I mean Ruve's only been mayor a short time, so how did they do this undetected?" Khione asked.

"No idea. But Overwatch, you got any blueprints for this place?" Green Arrow asked.

"Zilch. Can't find any public blueprints on file for an underground lair with a creepy sewer entrance." Overwatch said as they arrived at a door.

"Looks like we found the entrance to the city." Spartan said as they opened the door to find an entire environment, complete with blue skies and clouds, underground.

"And there are no blueprints to describe it." Khione said before they realized they had radio silence.

"I should've guessed Hive would be blocking all outside transmissions." Green Arrow said.

"Guess we're on our own." Spartan said.

"Split up into two teams. Khione and Nyssa, find the nerve center of this place, order an evac and then take this place out. Spartan and I will find Thea." Green Arrow said and they all nodded as they broke off.
