Chapter Six

"What's yours is mine," Nightlock's voice echoed through my head.
I opened my eyes.
"Hey, Roy," Felicity said, walking in.
I slowly lifted myself up off the couch I was laying on. "Where am I?" I asked.
"Star Labs," Felicity replied. "You've been out for a couple of hours."
I nodded. "Thea's gone," I told Felicity. "Nightlock took her."
"Yeah, Oliver told me," Felicity replied.
I got off the couch and walked to the balcony.
"I know how you two feel about each other," Felicity told me. "She wouldn't want you feeling like this."
My fingers clenched around the railing and my knuckles began. to turn white. "I couldn't keep the woman I love safe," I said. "We need to find her."
Felicity smiled lightly. "We will. Cisco is rerouting the satellites as we speak."
Just then, an alarm started blaring overhead.
"What did you find?" I asked, walking into the Cortex with Felicity.
Cisco looked up from the desktop he was working at. "There's been a break-in at Ferris Airlines in Coast City."
"Let's go," Oliver said, already geared up.
I thought for a moment. "What about Thea?" I asked.
"We are going to find her. But it doesn't mean we stop doing our duty to the city," Oliver said very broodingly.
Cisco looked at Oliver, smirking. "Since when did you start sounding like Batman?"
"Batman is an urban legend," Oliver replied, glaring at Cisco.
"Batman? An urban legend?" Cisco asked, laughing.
I rolled my eyes. "Come on," I told Oliver and Cisco. "We've got a meta to catch."

Thea's P.O.V

Two hours earlier...

"Wake up!" Someone in front of me yelled.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked into the eyes of my captor, Anna Mellark. "What do you want with me?" I asked, nervous.
"Don't worry, Miss Queen, I'm not going to kill you," Anna told me in a menacing tone. "You are the key to breaking Roy's heart, just like he broke mine."
Her words suddenly dawned on me. "You and Roy...?" I implied.
Anna looked down. "Back in High School," She said as if all the painful memories were coming back to her. "We dated until we got into an argument and broke up." Anna glared at me, "You're just another mark in his book."
I tried to make a move against her, but I learned that my hands were tied behind me back. "Go trip over a knife," I said in spite of myself. "Roy would never do that to me!"
"He already has!" Anna yelled at me. "He's not going to save you!"
Now, I was mad. "You don't know Roy like I do!" I yelled.
There was a brief flash, in which, the next thing I knew, there was a knife stuck in the wall right next to my ear.
I winced as I lightly touched the side of my ear to find it covered in blood.
"Next time, I'll aim higher," Anna taunted.
With that, Anna left, leaving me to my own devices.
I curled up on the bed, hands still tied behind my back. The rope was so tightly tied that I could feel my wrists were beginning to bruise.
"I love you, Roy," I whispered softly.
Then I began to cry myself to sleep.
