Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 69

"So, did you manage to replace me as your bodyguard yet?" John asked Oliver as they investigated another potential Hive location.

"No. With Merlyn dead my mom seems to no longer think I need a bodyguard." Oliver said and John sighed

"Fair enough. But I have to ask, you think Verdant is going to be as far as you go in regards to a career?" John asked

"Why do you ask?" Oliver asked.

"Because it just seems like a waste that someone like you can only help people from behind a mask." John said.

"Yeah, I don't think Quentin would be very happy if I joined the SCPD and I don't think I have the patience to be bodyguard." Oliver said, since even though he'd originally been set to work for the SCPD as the Green Arrow before the reality shift, he decided in the end that he was better off with his team not working with the police.

"Still, there are other field of the private sector. Maybe you could become a private investigator. After all, I don't think there are many people more qualified to investigate two timers then you." John said and Oliver chuckled.

"Thea has pretty much been running Verdant herself already, since I've been helping Laurel with her campaign. Since she is 18 now, maybe I should transfer the club to her name and start my own private investigator's office." Oliver considered, right as their comms went live.

"Hey guys, I think I might have gotten a new lead for you to follow on an actual Hive member." Winn said.

"What's the info?" Oliver asked.

"After John told us that Hive was the organization that hired Lawton to kill Andy, which we now know was faked and once I gained access to Hive's network, I've been trying to figure out who it was that hired Lawton to do it and I think I found them." Winn said.

"Give me a name." John said.

"Mina Fayad." Winn said.

"Get us a location on her now, I'm on my way back to pick up my gear, have the rest of the team meet us there. If Fayad's high ranking enough to call in a hit, sounds like she'll be pretty well guarded by Hive. It'll be a team effort." Oliver said.

"Copy that." Winn said as they got off the comms.

"Want a ride?" John asked.

"Might as well." Oliver said.

"Give me a sec." John said as he slid his ring on and suddenly he was wearing his Green Lantern suit.

"Hold on tight." he said as a green aura appeared around him as he began flying and he then used his ring to grab Oliver as they flew over the city back to the base.

"Talk about express service." Oliver said.

"Yeah, that took awhile to get used to. But I can breathe in space when I fly." John said.

"Nice." Oliver said as Winn finally noticed they were back.

"Wow, that was fast." Winn said.

"Helps when you can fly." John said.

"Cool." Winn said as Oliver moved to suit up.

"Any luck tracking Fayad yet?" Oliver asked when he returned, fully geared up.

"I've hooked up with the rest of Argus's system and I think I've got a lead on her." Winn said as he pulled up their satellite imagery.

"Tell the others to suit up and meet us there, John and I will go inform Ra's like we promised and meet then head there." Oliver said and Winn nodded as Oliver and John took their leave from the base.
