Chapter 10

Roy's P.O.V

I saw my phone ringing. I glanced at the caller ID. It read: Speedy. I answered the call.

"Fuck off, Queen."

Thea sounded close to tears. "Roy, we need your help, it's-"

"I don't give a shit. Believe it or not, my life does not actually revolve around Thea Queen," I sassed, cutting her off.

I could now hear Thea crying through the phone.

"I loved you, Roy," She told me through the phone.

I paused. "I did too," I replied, before hanging up on her.

As I continued walking, I stopped outside the Wayne Tech building.

"You ready?" A hooded figure asked as they approached.

I turned around to look at the mysterious figure. "I think you got the wrong guy," I said.

"Really?" The figure asked removing her hood and showing her face.

The young woman in front of me wore a black leather jacket, with short jet black hair.

"What are you doing here, Sin?" I asked, recognizing the young woman.

Sin shrugged. "Helping out a friend."

"Thanks," I told her. "I appreciate that, but I don't need help."

Sin rolled her eyes. "I wasn't talking about you," she said, "Kate Kane, cousin of Bruce Wayne. Her fianceé, Natalie was shot a week ago."

"Why Do you need my help?" I asked, misunderstanding the statement. "I came here to get away from Star City."

Sin sighed. "This isn't about you at all, Roy," She told me, annoyed. "I don't need your help."

With that, she turned around and walked into the Wayne Tech building.

"Sin, where are you going?" I yelled after her.

Eventually, I followed her into the dark and gloomy skyscraper.

Thea's P.O.V

I walked into the Cortex followed by Oliver and Felicity.

In the background, I could hear Barry and Oliver arguing.

"She's too dangerous," Barry was saying, "We need to stop her."

Cisco looked distraught. "So are we killing now? I thought that was Oliver's thing."

"Hey, Guys," I interrupted them, "What did you find?"

Cisco walked around to his monitor. "Nightlock has a poison supplier, it's not all in her meta-powers."

"Who's her supplier?" Oliver asked.

Cisco took a deep breath. "Peter Mellark," He replied, casting his photo on the screens, "Get this, he died when the Particle Accelerator explosion. Before that, he was previously married to Anna Gibbons, A.K.A Nightlock."

"That's a lot to take in," I said, breaking the tension. "What about the places she hit? The bank? Ferris Airlines?"

"Prior to the Particle Accelerator explosion, Anna Gibbons worked as a Chemistry Intern at Central City University. She discovered an unknown substance of plant, known as Nightlock and was researching it on the night of the Accelerator Explosion before being hit with masses of Dark Matter and Nightlock properties." Cisco replied.

I rolled my eyes. "That doesn't answer the original question, Cisco," I told him, annoyed. "How is this all connected?"

"The supplier, Peter, has been confirmed dead," Cisco read through the information,"He is currently based in...Gotham City."

Before I could say another word, Oliver interjected. "How does she choose her targets?" He asked.

"I don't know," Cisco panicked.

I felt like the tension could easily be cut with a knife, especially since I knew where it was heading.

"Then find out," Oliver said sharply. "This isn't happening again. Not after what happened to Caitlin."

After the accident, Caitlin had slipped into a coma. Barry stayed by her side every evening.

"How is he?" I asked, "How's Barry?"

Felicity looked to the medbay door, "He's doing okay. This did quite a number on him."

"We're going to end this," I declared. "With or without Barry."

Oliver looked down. "I appreciate the confidence Speedy, but how? We don't have meta-powers, and the last time we tried, you almost got killed!"

"No," I replied, looking at Cisco, "But I know someone who does."

Cisco's eyes widened, "I'm going to call Gypsy."

"Your girlfriend from Earth-19?" Felicity smirked.

Cisco blushed "That would be correct," He then picked up his phone to call Gypsy and exited the Cortex.
