The Return of the Queens

Chapter 12

Oliver and Thea walked down into the basement later that night to see if anything was going on in the city that needed their help. When they got down the stairs, they saw that Laurel and Sara were sparring and it looked like they were pretty evenly matched. When the sisters realized that Oliver and Thea were coming down the stairs they went over and asked "So, what's the deal with Tommy?" Laurel asked.

"He came in and tried to kill us earlier today because he thought he still needed to complete Malcolm's work." Oliver said.

"Did you kill him? I haven't seen him around, so it is a good question." Sara said.

"No, we sent him to ARGUS. We felt better sending him there then sending him to a regular prison. With ARGUS, he can work off his time be doing jobs for them, so it is a decent situation for him considering what he has done." Oliver said.

"Will he get a trial?" Sara asked.

"No, it is like a black ops organization. No one knows they exist. They are kind of like the CIA." Thea said.

"So, has anyone found someone that can run the computer and the comms for us so that I don't have to all the time?" Thea asked.

"I am sure we can look around Queen Consolidated and see if anyone meets our criteria there." Oliver said.

"Yeah maybe. So, are you looking at anyone in particular?" Laurel asked.

"Not really. We need to make sure that they will keep our secret though." Oliver said.

"I will look through the records of people at QC and see if anyone is capable of doing what we need them to do." Thea said as she sat down at the computer and got to work.

After about thirty minutes Thea had looked through all of the information of everyone that worked in the cyber division of QC and she had found only one person who was about to do what they needed her to do.

"I found one person. She looks like she is really good at hacking into anything. The only problem is that she created a program that can take down the whole city if we allowed it to." Thea said.

"So, what is your recommendation, Speedy?" Laurel asked.

"I think we need to test her. In the notes that I read from human resources, they say that she can let her emotions get the better of her sometimes and it clouds her judgement. I don't know that in our line of work, that someone like that is needed." Thea said.

"I know our computer girl at CNRI is good at hacking stuff. Maybe she will be worth a try." Laurel said.

"Ok Laurel, I want you to try and find out how this person works at CNRI tomorrow and see if it is worth giving her a trial run. Thea, tomorrow I want you to go to QC and check out this other girl. When that is done, we will see if either one of them is worth having around." Oliver said and Thea and Laurel nodded.

The next night Thea and Laurel entered the basement to see that Oliver and Sara had already started sparring without them. The two sparring walked over to where the other two were so that they could find out what information had been dug up.

"So, what did you find Speedy?" Oliver asked.

"I think it is worth testing her, but I still have a problem with what I have heard about her emotions get the better of here." Thea said.

"What about you Laurel?" Sara asked.

"I think we should test my candidate as well. She passed every test I gave her today. She is good." Laurel said.

"Ok, it looks like we have two good candidates. Let go out on patrol and then once we are done with that we should go home." Oliver said.

The next day Laurel and Thea both tested their candidates, and both passed all of the tests. When Laurel and Thea came to tell the team the results, they thought that their candidate was the best.

"Ok. So, who did better with all of the tests?" Oliver asked.

"Mine past all of the test. I think we should try her out." Thea said.

"Mine also passed all of the tests. I recommend that we you her." Laurel said.

"Ok, I want you to bring them both in. We will see what happens then. Might end up keeping them both." Oliver said.

"Ok, but how do we trust them about keeping our secrets?" Sara asked.

"We can have the sign a NDA to make sure they don't talk." Laurel said.

"Ok Laurel, you start writing those up and Thea, Sara and I will go and pick up these candidates." Oliver said.

"And by pick up you mean what?" Laurel asked.

"Put them to sleep and bring them here." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.

An hour later Oliver arrived with a girl that had a hood on so she could not see where she was. Not long after that Thea and Sara showed up with the girl that Laurel knew from the office with a hood on as well.

Laurel went to change into her suit so that she would not be recognized by her co-worker until the time was right. When she came back into the room, she saw the girls beginning to stir.

"Where are we?" One of the women asked.

"We will take the hoods off and then we can tell you what is going on." Thea said.

They took the masks off the two women and they were stunned to see the vigilantes that.

"So, what is going on here and why did you kidnap me?" The girl named Felicity said.

"We want to know if either or both of you would like to join the team. We need someone to run the computers and hack into stuff. We also need someone to run the comms." Oliver said.

"So, you are offering us a job to help save the city? I'm in." The girl named Barbara said.

"What about you?" Thea looked at Felicity.

"I think I could do some good here, so I am in as well." Felicity said.

"Ok, we are going to let you know who we are, but first we need you to sign these NDA's. Can't be to safe." Laurel said and the women both signed the contract and the looked at the vigilantes waiting for them to reveal themselves.

All of the vigilantes took off their masks and hoods and wigs so that the new members of the team could see them. As soon as Felicity and Barbara were very surprised.

"That makes so much since now that I think about it. Oliver and Thea Queen are the hoods and Laurel and Sara Lance were the Canary Sisters. I can't believe I never thought of it before." Felicity said.

"Ok, so we need you here tomorrow night to run the computers and comms. Be at our club at eight tomorrow night." Thea said.

"Why would we come to a club if you need us to work?" Barbara asked.

"Because we are in the basement of the club right now." Oliver said and the women looked shocked at that but nodded anyways.

A/N: I hope you liked the chapter. I couldn't decide between the two computer geniuses, so I just brought them both in for now. We will see how it goes. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.
