Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 34

"Welcome to our base." Oliver said as he showed Thea and Roy into their base.

"So, this is the arrowcave." Thea said and Oliver rolled his eyes at her.

"Arrowcave, I am so calling it that from now on." Laurel said as she walked up to them.

"Thanks a lot." Oliver said, since he'd never liked that name to start out with and now he knew he was stuck with it.

"So, who else is on this team besides you two, Sara and Dig?" Thea asked, since John had accompanied them.

"Our new tech support, Winn Schott." Oliver said, gesturing over to Winn.

"Nice to meet you." Thea said, holding out her hand to Winn, who shook it.

"Likewise. So, you're the one who can be cold at times?" Winn asked.

"Yeah, but I don't know how." Thea said.

"That's why you're here. To see if we can figure out how to trigger your powers." Oliver isad.

"But we still don't know where these powers came from, since unlike Sara and I, she wasn't in Central City when the accelerator blew up." Laurel said.

"I can take some of Thea's blood to Argus and see if we can run some tests on it." Winn said.

"Do it. We need to figure out not only how to control Thea's powers, but also where they came from in the first place." Oliver said.

"Wait, blood?" Thea asked.

"We have equipment for that here. I promise it'll be quick and painless. Back when Waller was in charge, I would've kept this in house, but now with Alex, I can actually get a lot of help with this at Argus." Winn said.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want Waller to know about Thea. Alex on the other hand is a good ally to have, especially considering how close she and Sara are getting." Oliver said, having already trusted Alex the moment he saw her.

"Really, what are you talking about?" Thea asked.

"Sara's bi and she and the new director of Argus, Alex Danvers, are dating. In fact, Alex took Sara with her to Central City. Apparently Alex's whole family is in town there and she wants to have Sara officially meet her parents." Laurel said.

"Really, interesting." Oliver said, since he'd kept in touch with both Kara and Barry since Barry came out of his coma and she'd told him about her foster father, Alex's father, Jeremiah.

"Maybe while she's there, Sara will meet Supergirl." Thea said, since the Flash hadn't really made his debut yet, since Barry had really only been awake a few days so far.

"Maybe she can introduce us." Laurel said, not knowing that her boyfriend already knew who Supergirl was and was already friends with her.

"Maybe. It might be nice to have an indestructible hero on our side in case we need that sort of firepower." Oliver agreed.

"Anyways, Thea, let Winn take some a blood sample from you and then we'll start training both you and Roy." Oliver said and Thea nodded as she let Winn lead her away.

"So, what are you going to train me on?" Roy asked.

"I think you've got the build of an archer. So first, we're going to start working on building up arm strength, in addition to actual combat training." Oliver said, pleased that this time, Roy didn't have the mirakuru in him, so he could give him more advanced training now then he'd been able to before.

Oliver then noticed that John was sort of sulking in the corner.

"I'll be right back. Laurel, can you please start training them." Oliver asked and Laurel nodded as Oliver walked over to John.

"What's up with you John?" Oliver asked.

"Well Oliver, it isn't exactly rocket science. I don't really have a real role on this team." John said.

"John that's not true." Oliver said.

"Isn't it. I don't go out into the field with you, Laurel and Sara and I don't know much about computers like Winn, honestly I feel like the only thing I contribute to this team is to give you a somewhat challenging sparring partner and Sara does that more." John said.

"John, you do contribute to this team." Oliver said.

"I provide a cover. You don't even need me as your bodyguard." Oliver said.

"You were one of the first people I've ever trusted since I came back from the Island." Oliver said.

"Out of necessity. Oliver, I don't contribute to the team at all." John said.

"Then maybe it's time we change that. I think it's time you get your costume." Oliver said.

"Wait, what?" John asked, since he thought he'd said he didn't want a costume as Oliver led him over to where the Green Arrow, Black Canary and White Canary suits were on display.

"I told Winn he didn't need to make you a suit, since I already had Cisco put this together." Oliver said as he turned on a light and next to his suit, another suit was revealed. This one had a black and red color scheme, along with a cool helmet with a red visor.

"Cool." John admitted.

"It's yours. Designed out of the same material as the rest of the suits, the helmet also has thermal scanning. You want to get out in the field with us John, well, now you can." Oliver said and John grinned.

"Thanks man." John said and Oliver smiled.

"I think you should call yourself Spartan." Oliver said.

"I like it." John said and Oliver smiled, since he hoped that this time, being Spartan was enough for John.

I know I said John was going to become Green Lantern and he will, but not until after Team Arrow meets Team Superflash, so for now, he's back to being Spartan. The reason why John will not be Green Lantern until after they meet Supergirl is because I want Kara to be able to explain to Team Arrow the significance of the Green Lanterns first.
