Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 175

I took this chapter down because I wasn't satisfied with how it ended, so I decided to add more before reposting it.

After they returned to 2017, about a week or so after they'd left to begin with, Oliver and Laurel were very happy to return home and the Legends were actually staying in the present for a bit, since they'd decided to hold a proper vigil and funeral for Ronnie.

"I can't believe that we're finally done that with that crazy adventure." Laurel said as they unpacked in their home.

"Tell me about it. It's nice to be home." Oliver said.

"I couldn't agree more. I wonder if anything significant has happened while we were gone?" Laurel asked.

"To everyone else it's only been a week. I doubt much could have happened, but we'll get the full download tomorrow morning. Let's just try and enjoy our night back home first." Oliver said and Laurel nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Thea and Roy were leading the Glades Police Task Force through an alley, since this was where the weapons buy was supposed to be going down.

"Alpha team in position." Roy said.

"Same here for Bravo team." Thea said.

"Team Arrow in position." Emiko said as she and John took their places on the rooftop.

"Yeah, you guys got incoming." Winn said over the comms.

"Looks like a vehicle incoming." Roy said as they saw members of the Blackout gang walk up to the vehicle.

"Here's our supplier." Thea said as they saw a few men in suits get out of the car.

"Where's Mr. Midas?" one of the thugs asked.

"He was unable to make it, but he sends his regards." the leader of the men said.

"Wait, Midas as in James Midas, the CEO of Midas Medical?" Spartan asked as they watched the whole ordeal.

"We trust that you were satisfied with the taste we gave you?" the man said.

"Oh yeah. We're willing to buy as many of those bullets as you've got." the Blackout gang member said and the guy in the suit smiled.

"Let's move in." Roy shouted as the cops swarmed the place.

"Freeze, SCPD, you're under arrest." Thea shouted as her team engaged along with Roy's.

"Not today." one of the thugs in suits said as shots were exchanged and they quickly realized that it wasn't ordinary bullets in the criminals were using.

"They're using poison bullets." Thea said as she worked hard to keep Frostbite from coming out.

"We could use a little back up here." Roy said into his comms, fortunately, it was too loud and chaotic for the other cops to hear.

"We're on it." Green Arrow said as she fired a cable arrow that she and Spartan than slid down to join the fight.

However, despite that, they were still clearly outgunned by the fact that they were using poisonous bullets.

"Fall back." Roy shouted as the cops did exactly that.

"He's right. We're outgunned. We need to know exactly what we're dealing with." Spartan said to Green Arrow, who nodded as they both made their own way out of line of fire themselves.

"So, how'd it go?" John asked Roy and Thea when they entered the bunker after reporting the incident to Captain Lance.

"About as well as we expected. He scolded us for the failed operation, but was also relieved that there weren't any casualties on our side." Roy said.

"But he was pissed we had to let them get away." Thea said.

"Not like we had much of a choice." Emiko grumbled.

"But, now that we have some idea of what we're up against, so we can better prepare." Winn said.

"And we who's responsible. James Midas." Thea said.

"Quentin's already working on getting a warrant to search his office, but in the meantime, we need to figure what his next move is." Roy said.

"I wish Oliver were here to help though." John said, right as Thea's phone buzzed and she saw it was text from Oliver.

"It's almost as if he was waiting for someone to say that." Thea said.

"What do you mean?" Roy asked.

"I just got a text from Oliver, he and Laurel just got back from their trip. Jasmine is safe and he's looking forward to finding what they missed." Thea said.

"Not sure I'm looking forward to though." John said.

"None of us are, but we're gonna need his help on this." Thea said and they all nodded in agreement on that.
