Chapter 25
"I got her." Felicity said as facial recognition kicked something back on Evelyn.
"Where is she?" Thea asked.
"It looks like she's holed up in a warehouse on fourth and Wilson." Felicity said.
"Then that's where we're heading." Oliver said as as they moved to suit up.
"Please, let me go." Nora begged Evelyn from where she was tied up while Evelyn simply looked over the guns she'd acquired.
"If I were you, I'd be quiet. The longer you're silent, the longer you'll live." Evelyn snapped, causing Nora to immediately be silent.
"Your father took my family from me. Now, since he's dead and your mom's in jail, you're the only way I can get revenge." Evelyn said as she moved over to Nora, a knife in her hands, causing Nora to shake in fear.
"When you see your father in hell, tell him the Sharp's say hello." Evelyn said as she moved to cut Nora, but suddenly, an arrow knocked the knife out of her hand as she turned to see Green Arrow, Spartan, Speedy and Khione standing behind her.
"Get away from her or the next one goes through your heart." Speedy said aiming another arrow at Evelyn and making it clear that she was not bluffing.
"She deserves this." Evelyn said.
"No, she doesn't. She's innocent. Her father is the one who wronged you." Green Arrow said.
"You're one to talk. You left us at Reddington." Evelyn said.
"Yes I did. And I have to live with that for the rest of my life. I am truly sorry about your family Ms. Sharpe, but tell me, what would your parents say if they could see you now." Green Arrow asked.
"Enough. Let the girl go. Now." Speedy said.
"Not gonna happen. My parents can't see me right now thanks to her family. And she is the only way I can get revenge. You killed Darhk, you're a hero. I'm just doing the same thing you are." Evelyn said.
Before anyone could react, Khione ice blasted Evelyn, sending her flying back and freezing her to the wall.
"Threatening innocent kids, that's not a hero. That's a criminal. And you're going to spend the rest of your life with other criminals." Khione said as Speedy moved to untie Nora, who immediately clung to her for dear life.
"It's okay Nora. It's over. She'll never hurt you again." Speedy assured her as she rubbed comforting circles on Nora's back to help her calm down.
"Call Captain Lance, tell him we've got a present for him here." Green Arrow said to Overwatch.
"Just rang him up, he's on his way there now." Overwatch said.
"Good, we'll keep an eye on them until they arrive." Green Arrow said, since he had no intention of leaving Nora alone in the same room as a girl who wanted to kill her.
After Captain Lance had arrived and taken Evelyn into custody, Thea managed to convince Nora to take a ride with Quentin back to the station and she promised she'd meet her there.
And that was why when Nora entered the precinct, she found Thea waiting there for her, though she'd lost the hood.
"Thea." Nora said as Quentin let her run to the older woman.
"Are you okay?" Thea asked and Nora nodded.
"The Green Arrow and his team saved me. Speedy is my favorite." Nora said and Thea smiled.
"I'm just relieved you're alright." Thea said.
"Can I go home with you tonight?" Nora asked.
"I don't know, but I will ask. I don't want you going back to the orphanage at all." Thea said and Nora smiled slightly as she clung to her.
"She seems really taken by you." Quentin said and Thea smiled.
"I think it's because I'm the first person who's actually treated her like a real person since her mother's arrest." Thea said.
"I'll see if I can arrange at least temporary custody of Nora to you, since as a member of the mayor's staff, you have pretty high protection." Quentin said.
"Thank you Quentin. Laurel's working on putting the adoption papers through." Thea said before she pulled Nora in closer to keep her from seeing Evelyn.
"Any chance you can arrange therapy for Nora to, since a kidnapping at her age." Thea said.
"Talk to Laurel about that one." Quentin said and Thea nodded.
