《New Earth: Arrow》Chapter 32
Advertisement
By the time Team Arrow arrived at Argus, they found that Waller had wasted no time in fortifying her defenses, if the army of troops waiting for them was any indication.
"Stand down. That's an order." Lyla said.
"We no longer take orders from you Ms. Michaels. Waller said that you've been discharged and are to be prosecuted for treason." the lead agent said.
"Yeah, wrong answer." Green Arrow said as he fired an explosive arrow into the crowd and when it detonated, the troops were forced to scatter.
"Attack." The agent ordered as they charged to meet Team Arrow, but it quickly became clear that despite Argus's superior numbers, it was clear that Team Arrow, plus Nyssa, had superior skills.
"Canary, clear the way." Green Arrow said.
"Gladly." Silver Canary said as she unleashed her sonic cry, sending troops flying backwards as Team Arrow fought their way to the base entrance.
"What happened to stealth?" Wild Dog asked.
"No point in it since Waller had to have known we were coming the moment she took Laurel and Thea." Green Arrow said.
"So, why aren't we going in?" Hunter, ever the newbie, asked.
"This is too easy. Waller had to know that putting standard troops in our way wouldn't stop us. She knows that I could take them out alone in a matter of minutes." Green Arrow said.
"So you think she has something else planned?" Spartan asked.
"Wouldn't put it past her." Green Arrow said as he tried to move closer to the building, only to get his hand shocked.
"What the hell?" Green Arrow asked.
"It looks like some kind of energy shield. If it weren't keeping us from entering the building our friends are trapped in I'd be geeking out right now." Overwatch said.
"Too bad we don't have a way around it." Wild Dog said.
"Call Cisco, see if he can get us through." Green Arrow said and Overwatch quickly pulled out her phone and made the call, but no luck.

"Voicemail, he must be busy." Overwatch said and Green Arrow sighed.
"Guess we'll have to find another way through." Green Arrow sighed.
"We'll find a way in. But how did Waller manage to pull this off? Argus never had an energy shield before." Spartan said.
"I don't know, Waller never told me she was developing it. Which means it's likely not something that's sanctioned." Lyla said.
"Overwatch, do you think you make us an extrapolator?" Green Arrow asked.
"No, but we might not need it." Overwatch said.
"What do you mean?" Silver Canary asked, but before Overwatch could respond, GreenArrow began firing arrows around them.
"What are you doing?" Nyssa asked.
"Taking out security cameras. Don't want Waller listening in on us." Green Arrow said and they nodded.
"What were you saying Overwatch?" Spartan asked.
"Unless things have changed in this universe, doesn't every Argus facility have secret underground tunnels?" Overwatch asked and Lyla caught on.
"They do and Waller likely wouldn't think that you'd know about that. However, my security clearance has likely been revoked." Lyla said.
"Good thing we don't need it. But we'll need a distraction to keep Waller's attention away from the tunnels." Green Arrow said.
"What do you have in mind?" Hunter asked.
"Hunter, Silver Canary, Nyssa and Wild Dog, head to the garage and back exit, make as much noise as you can. Lyla will take Overwatch, Arsenal, Spartan and I through the tunnels into the base, at which point we'll split up. Overwatch and Lyla will head to the computer hub to disable the power dampeners and now to shut down the forcefield, Spartan and Arsenal will be on rescue of our teammates and I'll go after Waller." Green Arrow ordered and they all nodded in agreement before splitting up.
"Ma'am, all surveillance cameras around the main gate have been disabled and the guards there are not responding." the agent said to Waller.
"What about the other entrances?" Waller asked, right as alarms sounded.

"It looks like his team has divided. One group is hitting the garage and the other is hitting the south exit." the agent said as they pulled up security footage.
"He's not at either fight. Where are you Oliver?" Waller asked, right as new alarms blared.
"What is that?" Waller asked.
"Ma'am, it would appear that another team has managed to enter the facility through the tunnel network." the agent said.
"Of course, I should've posted guards down there. Send in the commandos immediately." Waller said.
"Yes ma'am." the agent said as Waller tried to hide her nervousness from the others, since it was clear that she'd been depending on that shield to keep Oliver out, so now she'd just have to hope that the leverage she'd acquired would be enough to keep Oliver at bay, right as the door to command center was blown off its hinges and the Green Arrow entered, aiming his bow directly at Waller.
"Hello Oliver." Waller said.
"Did you really think that I wouldn't come for you after taking my girlfriend and my sister hostage?" Green Arrow asked.
"Of course not. Luckily, I was prepared." Waller said.
"Your shield didn't work." Green Arrow said.
"Do you really think that is all I'd use to protect myself. While I know that your associates are likely searching for Laurel Lance and Thea Queen, I do have other leverage to use against you." Waller said.
"Really?" Green Arrow asked incredulously as Waller moved over to a computer and typed something, Oliver's bow never leaving her.
"I believe these two might make you reconsider." Waller said as she worked.
"What are you talking about? You know my team is searching for Thea and Laurel." Green Arrow said.
"Yes, but I wasn't talking about them. But you see, you and Maseo Yamashiro share a weakness." Waller said as Green Arrow got a bad feeling in his gut.
"What sort of weakness." Green Arrow asked as Waller turned the screen around and he nearly fired his arrow then and there when he saw who it was.
"You'll both do anything to protect your sons and their mothers." Waller said as Oliver watched Samantha and William Clayton sitting in an Argus prison cell and Waller smirking smugly at him.
"Where are they?" He demanded.
"Now, now Oliver, that information comes at a price." Waller said, only to have Oliver fire an arrow into her leg.
"Not as high a price as you'll pay if you don't tell me where they are." Green Arrow demanded.
"You're going to kill me either way aren't you?" Waller asked as she tried not to show how much pain she was in.
"Yes, but you can decide how painful it is. You saw what I did to Matthew Shrieve after what happened to Akio. Imagine what I am going to do to you for this." Green Arrow said.
"The only way I'll give you that information is if you let me go." Waller said, right as Green Arrow ran out of patience and put an arrow in her head, since he knew she had no heart to shoot.
"Overwatch, do you read me?" Green Arrow asked over the comms.
"I read you, what is it?" Overwatch asked.
"William is here. I repeat, Waller pulled a Prometheus." Green Arrow said.
"I'll start looking for him right now." Overwatch said as the entire team was horrified that Waller would bring an innocent child into this.
"Let me know as soon as you find him. Waller is dead, so I'm going to start my own search. That is, unless anyone in here wants to try and stop me." Green Arrow said, looking around the command center and all of them wisely did nothing, since they could tell that despite their superior numbers, it was a fight they would not win, before he headed out to find his son and Samantha.

Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
