Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 98

"Why are you doing this to me. Why not just kill me like you did my fellow officers and those crooks?" Quentin asked Joe as he coughed up some more blood.

"Because you're the only way to get what I want." Joe said with a sneer.

"Well maybe if you told me what that is, I could be more useful." Quentin said.

"Oh, you're just my bargaining chip. Once the Green Arrow finds out I have you, he'll give me what I want." Joe said.

"And what is that?" Quentin asked.

"My father. Slade Wilson." Joe said.

"And what makes you think that the Green Arrow and his team would do anything for you." Quentin said.

"Even if the Green Arrow doesn't play well, I know his canary friends will." Joe said.

"Why would either Canary do a thing for you?" Quentin asked.

"Because they would do anything for family. Something I happen to share with them." Joe said, leaving Quentin confused until he slowly began putting the pieces together and he was honestly feeling stupid for not realizing it sooner. However, before he could give it anymore thought, he felt himself seizing up, his heart was barely beating.

At that exact moment, a breach opened up and Green Arrow, Black Canary, White Canary and Slade walked out of it, Green Arrow holding Slade with his arms behind his back.

"Is this what you want Joe?" Green Arrow shouted.

"An exchange one father for another." Joe said.

"I'll give him to you once we've gotten Lance safely out of here. After all, if there's one thing working with your father has taught me, it's that when it comes to your family, always make they pay on their side of the debt before paying up my side of it." Green Arrow demanded.

"He's all yours I'd recommend getting him to a hospital." Joe said.

"Flash, have Vibe open a breach and then get my father to the Argus medbay now." Black Canary said as she and White Canary rushed to their father's side and helped him up.

"On my way now." Flash said as a breach opened and suddenly, in a whirl of yellow lightning, Quentin and the Canaries were both gone and the breach then closed.

"Okay, you got what you wanted. Now give me what I want." Joe said.

"He's all yours." Green Arrow said as he shoved Slade in towards his son.

"Let's get out of here Joe." Slade said.

"Oh it's funny. You actually thought I was trying to rescue you. No father, for you see, you're not the only one who knows how to play a part." Joe said as he pulled out his sword and moved to strike his father down and would have, had Green Arrow not shot the sword out of his hand.

"Patricide. You really are predictable Joe." Slade said as he got up.

"What does that mean?" Joe asked as Slade easily escaped his bonds and Green Arrow handed him his sword.

"Do you honestly think I didn't expect a double cross of some kind. I knew you were angry at me Joe." Slade said.

"That's not my name anymore. My name is Kane Wolfman." Joe or rather, Kane said.

"And that name is known as the leader of the terrorist group called the Jackals." Alex said over the comms.

"Kane Wolfman, you're coming with us." Green Arrow said as he raised his bow at him.

"Not in this lifetime." Kane said.

"You're outnumbered Joe." Slade said.

"My name is Kane. And check your math." Kane said as suddenly, the Jackals entered the room.

"Hello Terminator." Nylander said.

"Nylander, I swear I'm going to kill you for this." Slade said.

"Now who's outnumbered?" Kane said smugly.

"Actually, still you." Green Arrow smirked as yet another breach opened and and Frostbite, Arsenal, Flash, Supergirl, Killer Frost, Alex, a dozen Argus agents, Vibe and to Green Arrow's surprise, Green Lantern.

"Wasn't expecting to see you here, but I'm glad you are." Green Arrow said.

"I arrived at Argus a few minutes ago and as soon as I heard what was happening, I immediately jumped on board." Green Lantern said and Green Arrow nodded.

"Looks like you're the ones who are outnumbered now." Green Arrow said.

"And outmatched.

"Oh Slade, you'll need something." Flash said in a well, flash, of lightning, Slade was now fully geared up in his own deathstroke gear.

"Nice." Deathstroke said.

"Just like old times." Green Arrow said.

"Don't get sappy on me kid." Deathstroke said.

"Enough talk. Let's do this." Kane said as the fighting begun, with him being overconfident and trying to take on his father and Green Arrow while the rest of the heroes quickly began overpowering the jackals.

Green Arrow and Deathstroke covered each other's backs as they went up against Kane and several other jackals, and even though it had been years since they'd fought on the same side, they found that the two of them were still in perfect sync.

"Face it Joe, you may be good, but you'll never beat your old man." Slade said as he knocked Kane to the ground.

"How could you fight alongside Oliver Queen after what he did to you?" Joe demanded.

"Because he's willing to fight by mine after all I did to him, which was far worse. I forgave him and it's clear to me now I made the right choice choosing to stand by him." Slade said as Green Arrow looked at his old friend and smiled as the rest of the Jackals were taken down.

"What are you going to with me now? Kill me?" Joe asked.

"No. Because despite what you think of me, I am not a monster. Not anymore." Slade said as he knocked his son out.
