Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 158

"So, that's four totems down, two to go." Oliver said as he watched Kuasa place the fire totem in a special containment unit Ray had rigged up for it.

"Plus a prisoner." Rip said.

"Are you sure the brig can contain someone with that kind of magic?" Laurel asked worriedly as she held Jasmine in her arms.

"Don't worry love. Before we put her in there, I placed a containment spell on the brig to ensure it can contain the strongest of magical threats." Constantine assured her.

"Good. Hopefully, once we find out who she is, we can gain some insight on Mallus's plans and stop him for good." Oliver said.

"The next step in that plan is finding someone to use the fire totem." Mari said.

"And we will. But first, I think we should speak with our captive, see if there's any information they have on the demon's plans." Rip said.

"Easier said than done. I don't think that anyone wants to resort to torture, especially with an infant onboard this ship and I doubt any truth serum will work on her." Constantine said.

"So we then we find a way to get through to her. And the first step in that is finding out who she is." Oliver said as he walked out.

"Where are you going?" Laurel asked.

"To have a chat with our guest." Oliver said.

"We'd better make sure that's all he does." Constantine said as he followed Oliver and to everyone's surprise, so did Ray.

"Oliver Queen, I was wondering when you'd pay me a visit." the woman said as Oliver entered the brig.

"So, you know my name." Oliver said.

"I know everything about you. After all, know your enemy." the woman said.

"You can't have had that long to research me if you've only now just started working with Mallus." Oliver said.

"I was plotting against you long before Mallus came to me. He simply offered me the power to take my revenge on you sooner." the woman said.

"Revenge for what?" Oliver asked.

"You killed my father and I will have my revenge for it." the woman said.

"Who was your father?" Oliver asked.

"I thought you'd remember, seeing as to how you likely relished in his death and took everything away from my mother and I. We were forced to go into hiding, underground." the woman said and now Oliver was beginning to realize who this woman was.

"Nora Darhk. You've grown a lot since the last time I saw you." Oliver said.

"So, you finally recognize me." Nora said.

"Yes and your father was a maniac who deserved worse than what I gave him. He was going to burn the world to the ground." Oliver said.

"And remake it into a better one." Nora said.

"No, remake it in his image, with himself as king. I am sorry for what happened to you and your mother, but I didn't relish in your father's death. If anything, I saved him from the fate Ra's al Ghul had in store for him by giving him a quick death." Oliver said.

"You still killed him and I will have justice for him." Nora said.

"You say justice like I killed him in cold blood. He got what he deserved and now you're willing to condemn my daughter just to even the score?" Oliver demanded, his voice getting louder and angrier.

"She will be sacrificed to ensure my master's return and her death will break you. My master and I both win." Nora said smugly.

"No he won't. Nora, I know deep down, a part of you knows this is wrong. I may have been the one who killed your father, but he died because of the decisions he made. Every choice, every action, every decision he made, he didn't leave me any other choice. It was his life or the lives of countless other innocent people. If you really researched me, then you'd know I wouldn't have killed your father unless I had no other options." Oliver said, calming down and walking out, leaving Nora to think about what he'd just said.
