The Return of the Queens

Chapter 8

Over the next couple of months Team Arrow had been taking out people who were on the list and they were starting to see the crime rate going down in the city because people were starting to fear them.

Oliver was at the club getting it ready to open in a couple of weeks when Tommy walked in. "Hey man, it's been a while." Oliver said.

"Yeah it has. I have something that I want to talk to you and Thea about." Tommy said.

"Ok, I will call Thea and see how long it will take her to get here." Oliver said.

Fifteen minutes later Thea walked into the club and asked "What's going on? Why was it so urgent that I got here so fast?"

"I have a proposal to make to the both of you. I am a member of a organization that from what my dad tells me that both of your parents were members of. I am here to ask you to join." Tommy said.

"What is this organization and what would we have to do?" Oliver asked.

"It is called Tempest and I can't tell you anymore right now. You have to show up at the meeting tonight to know more about the organization." Tommy said.

"We will be there. No dates are needed right?" Oliver asked.

"No, it is a private event. Only the two of you are invited." Tommy said.

"Well we will both be there. Just tell us when and where." Thea said.

"Tonight, at eight at the mansion." Tommy said and both of siblings nodded as Tommy left.

"Well that sounds a little sketchy to me. Maybe we should have Laurel and Sara on standby just in case." Thea said.

"Sounds like a good idea. I don't like the idea of secret organizations. Too much is unknown about them." Oliver said.

"So on to other topics. When is this place finally going to start making us some money?" Thea asked.

"Within the next couple of weeks. It would have helped if you had been here to help some more. I mean this place is supposed to be half yours." Oliver said.

"Sorry, I know I should be doing more. I just don't like this construction stuff. Now clubbing I am all for, so therefore I think I would be great at running this place." Thea said with a smile.

"Of that I have no doubt. So, we really haven't discussed a name yet." Oliver said.

"I don't think that Queens would be good. I would think that that meant this place was for drag if I didn't know any better." Thea said.

"I can agree on that. How about we call it The Island. That way it will symbolize what we have been through over the last five years." Oliver said.

"That actually sound kind of cool. Let's go with that." Thea said.

A few hours later the team was in the lair training, when Oliver told them "Thea and I have a meeting that we have to be at eight. We need you to be ready in case something happens though."

"Sara and I will be ready, but what is this meeting?" Laurel asked.

"Not exactly sure what it is yet. Tommy invited us. It is invite only. It sounds a little sketchy though. That why we might need back up." Thea said.

"Tommy didn't tell you anything about this meeting?" Sara asked.

"He said the group was called Tempest and in order to learn more we had to come to the meeting." Thea said.

"Ok, so you two have fun with that. Anyways you will have comms on so we can hear what is going on right?" Laurel asked.

"Yes, that is the plan unless they sweep for bugs before we enter." Oliver said.

"Well that is easy to get around. Just don't turn them on until you are done being swept for bugs." Sara said.

"True. So, we need to get ready. We will be back after the meeting to discuss what we know." Oliver said and Laurel and Sara both nodded as the Queens left the lair.

An hour later Oliver and Thea were pulling up to the Merlyn Mansion for the Tempest meeting. They parked and went in the mansion to see five people setting around a table. They didn't know who some of them were, but they did know Tommy, Malcolm, and Frank Chen.

"Good of you to join us Oliver and Thea. We are glad that you were willing to take your parent's places in this organization." Malcolm said.

"We are always trying to make sure to honor their memory, so this is a way to do that, by joining an organization that they were obviously a part of." Thea said and the other members nodded.

"So, we will bring the two of you up to speed on what we are planning to do. At first, we thought about trying to black mail a lot of bad people into make the Glades a good place to live again. It worked for a while, but it didn't clean up the Glades like I thought it would. Once we figured this out, we made the decision that it would be better to just destroy the Glades." Malcolm said.

"How do you plan on doing that an what about all of the people in the Glades?" Thea asked.

"We are getting a machine made at Unidec Industries that will make a man-made earthquake and as for the people in the Glades, they don't deserve to live because they didn't even try to help my wife." Malcolm said.

"That is a very ambitious plan. Count us in. We want to know everything." Oliver said.

"I thought you would." Malcolm said as he went on to lay out what the group had planned.

An hour later Oliver and Thea were walking back into the lair with worried looks on their faces. They never thought that Malcolm would be the one that they would be trying to stop to save the city.

"Ok, so what do we do now?" Laurel asked.

"We find this Unidec Industries and we destroy these machines and we steal all of the designs so that they cannot make more machines." Oliver said.

"What about the members of Tempest?" Sara asked.

"Tomorrow night we are splitting up and two of us will take the machines out and destroy all records of the device. The other two will be taking out the weaker members of Tempest, leaving Tommy and Malcolm for last. Hopefully we will talk some since into Tommy before he decides to do something he can't come back from." Oliver said and they all nodded at him as they decided to call it a night.

A/N: I need a computer specialist on the team. We need someone else to do these things so that Thea doesn't have to do it all. Anyways, should I bring Felicity on or get someone else. I am leaving up to the readers. Let me know who you think should be the computer specialist in the reviews. Thanks for reading.
