"C'mon, answer the phone," Oliver muttered, as he paced in his sister's room.

"Oliver! What happened!? You never told us what happened with Thea. Is she okay? Are you okay?" his friend, and his technical advisor said.

"Thea is gone. Find her Felicity, I can't lose my sister, not again," Oliver said over the phone.

"Does she have her phone on her? Anything I can track?" Felicity asked, as she got on her computer at her house.

"No, she doesn't have anything. Hack into cameras, do anything. Try to find anything that can lead me to her. I'm going over now. Call the others," Oliver said.

"Don't worry Oliver, we'll find her," Felicity told him, as she hung up to search for Thea.

"Malcolm is dead? Are you sure this time? We were sure last time, but he still came back," Diggle commented, as he sat at the table with Laurel, Roy, and Oliver. Felicity sat on the side hacking into street cameras.

"Thea killed him. For a second I thought she was going to kill me. I was so sure she was going to let the arrow go through my heart," Oliver whispered, as he stared at the table.

"But she came back. Just like we said. She's a Queen, and Queens can get through anything," Laurel told her ex-boyfriend.

Oliver smiled, as he smiled.

"Anything?" Roy asked Felicity, who was typing quickly.

"I know she's not in Starling City. I'm going to check the ones around here, Central City or Jump City," Felicity said, not looking at anyone else.

Oliver frowned. "I think it hurt her that I didn't look for her for eight months. I don't want her to think that again."

"It's my fault too. If I told you why she left in the first place we could have gotten her away from Malcolm even quicker," Roy said, looking at his mentor.

Oliver nodded, as he looked at his partner. He wondered if the team would be better with Thea out there, fighting with him.

"Found her! She's in Central City, near Star Labs," Felicity said, as she made the video bigger.

Oliver rushed to look at the screen. He could see Thea talking to someone. Oliver waited to see who it was, hoping that it wasn't bad.

"Isn't that Barry?" Diggle asked, when he recognized the person.

"Call him and tell him to keep her there. Diggle, come with me," Oliver said, as he got his jacket and rushed out.

"Hold on, we're coming with you!" Felicity exclaimed as she rushed behind him with Diggle, Roy and Laurel.

Barry Allen walked up to Thea. He had just gotten off the phone with Felicity, and he promised her that he would keep Thea in front of the lab.

Thea looked up at him and smiled. "Do I know you from anywhere?"

"I'm a friend of your brother," he answered, sitting down next to her.

"So you know?" Thea questioned, really looking at the young man.

"Know what?"

Thea laughed, as she shaking her head. "Are you the blur? Cause people become heroes after meeting my brother. Like Roy, and his bodyguard. Laurel is becoming one. Or they become villain, Slade, Malcolm," she said, then whispered, "me."

"What are you talking about?"

Thea shook her head, as she wiped her eyes.

"When is my brother getting here?"

"Soon. If I know anything about family, it's that he's worried and will break any law to get here. Especially when it's someone as pretty as you," Barry said, not wanting Oliver's sister to be sad. He just wanted to be nice and make the young woman smile.

It worked. She smiled and blushed. She missed that feeling. She didn't feel guilty, or like she had to hold the weight on her shoulders.

Speeding Arrow

Diggle stopped the car when Oliver jumped out. He watched as Oliver rush to his sister, taking her in his arms.

"Never leave again. I didn't know if I was going to lose you. You're all I have left Thea," Oliver whispered, as he hugged her.

Thea wrapped her arms around him, a small smile on her face.

Barry stood up and walked away. He smiled when he saw Felicity and walked to her. He watched the scene with the small group.

"I'm sorry. I had to leave. I couldn't stay there. I-I let everyone down," Thea responded, when Oliver pulled away.

"You'll never let me down," Oliver told her.

"You said I have the purest heart. I promised you I wouldn't lose that. I did Ollie, I tried to kill you," Thea whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"But you didn't."

"I feel lost. I don't know who I am anymore."

"I do. You're my sister. And it's okay to feel lost. The best of us feel like that. It's part of living."

Thea let out a small sob. Oliver pulled her close. "I don't care if your last name is Queen, or it's Merlyn. To me, you'll always be Thea, my baby sister. You'll always be Speedy, the annoying kid that followed me everywhere. The one person who believed I was still alive all those years, the one person who never gave up on me. Who you think you are doesn't matter. It's who you are, we all know you are."

Thea started to cry during Oliver's speech. Oliver reached for his picked and took out a black mask.

"While you wore this mask, I was proud of you. And a little scare. You had so much grace and you were so powerful."

"I was fighting you."

"But you turned it around. Thea, you are the mask. You make your choices, but I want you to fight with me, I want to fight along side you."

Thea grabbed the mask and looked at Oliver.

"I need you with me," he whispered.

She smiled as she looked down at the mask. She clenched her hand, and nodded.

"And between you and me, you're so much that Roy."

Thea giggled. "The Arrow and Speedy. The greatest team ever. And you know, Arsenal."

"You'll stop the villains with your speeding arrow."

Thanks again. This story is done. I'll see when the next story is out. I want to finish some of my other stories before I start a new one.
