《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Felicity was currently in her cubicle in the IT Department at Queen Consolidated when Oliver approached her, lightly tapping on the wall to get her attention.
"Hey." He said finally, causing her to jump in her seat.
"Don't you knock?" she asked, recovering her composure.
"You're forgetting who's name it is on the building." Oliver said, not understanding how he'd always turned a blind eye to her attitude before. Love was a weird thing sometimes.
"Sorry." Felicity apologized.
"It's fine. Anyways, "My buddy Steve is really into archery." Oliver began. "Apparently it's all the rage now."
"I don't know why. It's looks utterly ridiculous to me." Felicity mumbled. Oliver smiled thinly.
"Mm-hmm." He said non-committal. "Anyway, it's Steve's birthday next weekend, and I wanted to buy him some arrows." He opened the tube and withdrew the arrow. "The thing is, he gets these special custom-made arrows, and I have no idea where he gets them." He held up the arrow; Felicity looked at it; fear, trepidation, curiosity and excitement playing over her face. "I was hoping you could find out where this came from." As he held out the arrow for her to take she had a feeling, deep down, that one she took the arrow, there was no going back.
Oliver seemed to know it, too. "Careful." He cautioned as she reached out for it. Felicity smiled in excitement.
Yeah." She agreed, delicately taking it. She looked it over; down near the end of the arrow she found a stamp, almost invisible. "The shaft's composite is patented." She noted, turning to her computer. She searched briefly before looking up at him triumphantly. "And that patent is registered to a company called Sagittarius." She said, handing him back the arrow. "That's Latin for the archer." She added needlessly.

"Really? Could you find out where and when this was purchased?" Oliver asked casually, slipping the arrow back into the tube.
"According to Sagittarius company records, that particular arrow was part of a bundle shipment." She wrote something down on a piece of paper. "Sent to this address." She tore the piece of paper from the pad and handed it to Oliver.
"Thank you Felicity. And by the way, I'm talking to Walter. I think your talents are being wasted down here." Oliver said as he walked away, since he honestly did think that Felicity was meant for more than just being an IT girl.
Oliver investigated the address Felicity had provided him with, but just like before, it had been a trap, but this time, he skillfully avoided it.
"So, the address was a dead end?" John asked Oliver re entered the foundry.
"It was a trap. Whoever is killing people is clearly trying to draw me out. I have to wait until they make their next move." Oliver said and John nodded, right as Laurel entered the foundry.
"And they just made it. The other archer took hostages, it just made the news." Laurel said, turning on the TV Oliver had put in the foundry, revealing a newscast of the same woman and other hostages Merlyn had taken the first time.
"Hello Star City. For the past few months, this city has been laid siege by a vigilante. But the police have been unable to bring him to justice because they lack the will to do what justice demands.' She sobbed. 'I will kill one hostage every hour in the name of this vigilante until he surrenders himself to my authority."
"This guy wants me, he'll get me." Oliver said, moving to check his quiver.

"Oliver, this obviously a trap." John said.
"I know and that's never stopped me before. Those people are in there because of me. Besides, the city sees the Green Arrow as a criminal. Maybe it's time I finally start working to change that. Show them that I really am trying to help them." Oliver said.
"That's actually pretty inspiring." Laurel said.
"I'm gonna find out who it is that did this and take them down." Oliver said as he headed out, already knowing exactly where he was going.
When Green Arrow arrived at the scene, he found the police were already attempting to gain access to the building, but he just quickly arrived on the scene by sliding on a cable to the roof and entering that way, finding the hostages exactly where they were the first time.
"It's okay, I'll get you out of here." Green Arrow said as he used a flechette to cut them free.
"Get to the roof now. I'll take care of the other archer." Green Arrow said to the hostages after he freed the last of them, who nodded and ran up to the roof while he headed down to the factory, where Malcolm was waiting for him.
"Thank you for coming. After the warehouse, I knew I'd have to do something dramatic to get your attention." Dark Archer said.
"You should've tried to avoid it. You're in over your head." Green Arrow said.
"Really, and why's that?" Dark Archer asked.
"You're outmatched." Green Arrow said as he fired a flash arrow to blind Malcolm and then lunged at him while he was distracted, hitting him with his bow.
"Lucky shot." Dark Archer said.
"I'm just getting started." Green Arrow said as the two continued fighting, but this time, Oliver was the one with the upperhand, since this time, he not only had experience from the five years he was gone, but also from the 7 years he was a vigilante before. Malcolm didn't have a chance.
"It's over." Green Arrow said after a short battle which ended with him tossing Malcolm over his shoulder.
"How did you beat me?" Malcolm asked as he struggled to get up as Green Arrow punched him back down before hoisting him up and removing his hood.
"Do it. Kill me." Malcolm said, preferring to die and let his plans continue on than live in defeat.
"No. I won't kill you. And not out of mercy. But simply because you're more useful to me alive." Green Arrow snarled, since he'd broken into Unidac Industries a week after Queen Consolidated and gotten all the plans on the Undertaking he needed.
"What do you mean?" Malcolm asked.
"You'll find out soon enough." Green Arrow said as he jammed a tranq arrow into Malcolm, knocking him out.
