"You're still trying to get things at Queen Consolidated under control? You know we have to leave for Central City in 2 days?" Laurel asked.
"I know, but I can't find anyone I trust to run the company while we're gone, since John is going to Central City with us and so's Thea." Oliver said.
"What about the board?" Laurel asked.
"I don't trust Mr. Dennis, since I'm sure he's planning a coup, I just don't have proof of it yet." Oliver said.
"Maybe Walter could take back over until we get back. I'm sure the board wouldn't mind, since they backed him before." Laurel said.
"And people think I only married you for your looks." Oliver said and Laurel smiled as she kissed him.
"We both know that the only reason you even considered me in the first place was my looks." Laurel said.
"True, but your brains are part of why I married you." Oliver agreed.
"You should go talk to Walter." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
Raisa showed Oliver into the parlor to find Walter watching the news.
"Oliver, what a surprise." Walter said pleasantly to his stepson.
"Where's mom?" Oliver asked.
"Both she and Robert are napping. We've finally been able to get him on a decent sleep schedule. Though I suspect you'll learn that soon enough. But anyways, what brings you here?" Walter asked and Oliver chuckled.
"I needed to talk to you about something." Oliver said.
"Yes, what is it?" Walter asked.
"Both myself and my new VP John Diggle are going to be in Central City next week for a wedding and I just don't trust certain members of the board to run the company while I'm gone. Especially Mr. Dennis." Oliver said.

"So you're hoping I'd be willing to come back to the company while you're gone?" Walter asked and Oliver smiled.
"I understand if you don't want to." Oliver said.
"Actually, I've found retirement to be a bit boring and I will also start trying to uncover if any of your suspicions are correct." Walter said.
"Thank you Walter." Oliver said.
"My pleasure." Walter said.
John was currently standing in a hotel room, buttoning up his shirt as he heard someone exit the bathroom.
"So, when do you leave for your next mission?" John asked as he turned to see Lyla Michaels wearing only a bath towel and her hair still wet from her shower, standing in front of him.
"Not for a few weeks, why? You know this room is technically ours for as long as we need it." Lyla said with a smile, since they were currently in the hotel room that Argus kept on reservation at the Outstrander hotel.
"Actually, I was hoping that you'd be my plus one to Barry and Kara's wedding." John said and Lyla smiled.
"Well, I do need to debrief Alex and Sara anyways on something, plus it means more time with you, so I'm in. Who else is going?" Lyla asked.
"The whole team was invited and I think most of the hero community will be in attendance." John said.
"Nice. But anyways, how long do I have to pack." Lyla asked.
"A few days." John said and Lyla nodded.
"Perfect." Lyla said.

The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
