Fighting for the Future
I sighed trying to convince Oliver the town still needed him, his response was trying to make me tell him who I liked.
"Ollie!"
"Roni!" He said matching my tone. I sighed and he laughed. "Who do you like?"
"I think Leonard." I whispered blushing. "Mick is a close second but I don't know for sure. Leonard...whenever he's around I get a small tingly feeling in my stomach." He laughed and shook his head.
"I always knew you liked the bad boys Roni." I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed again. "Will you introduce us?"
"Sure Ollie. Anything for you." He smiled and I sat next to him. "God...this is so messed up."
"True."
"Hey Ollie?"
"Yeah?" I looked at him and he smiled.
"If I have any regret in life, it's not trying the chance we once had." He laughed at that. "What?"
"True you were a cute 11 year old." I rolled my eyes making him laugh. "However we wouldn't have worked since I was in high school."
"I know." I told him smiling.

Leonard's POV
I sighed wondering how the team was. Honestly it wasn't the full team I was worried about, a certain blonde kept popping into my head. She said she was going to look around but I know where she went and it pissed me off.
A bunch of people came in and I looked up at them.
"Who invited them?" Mick asked as the music stopped. A man was talking to Mick as I watched closely at the group who came in.
"Party's over. Everyone hit the streets. Hit everybody on them. I want Green Arrow dead by morning." Mick got up and walked over to the group.
"Listen, pal, this is my gang. The only orders they take are from me."
"Hm...might be your gang, but it's my city." They stared at each other for a while. "Green Arrow is running with a female assassin in white and a Brit in a brown coat. Kill them all!" The man scoffed at Mick and turned to leave with his group.
"Heard the man. Let's go." One of Mick's minions said walking out with more of them. I got up and walked over to him.
"Looks like your new minions are about to go on a citywide manhunt. For Rip and Sara."
"So what?" He asked and I scoffed.
"They're gonna kill our friends." I told him.
"Since when did they become our friends?"
"You tell me. You and Raymond seemed to get pretty tight back in Russia."
"I've never been tight with anyone." I rolled my eyes.
"Alright what about Veronica? What if she is out on the streets?" I asked him and he sighed.
"We both know she went to find Oliver Queen. She'll be fine." He responded and I sighed.
"Mick it's time to go." I said walking away from him.
"You're not the boss of me." I turned around fast when I heard his gun whirling up.
"Actually, I am." I dared him to try something. We just stared at each other for a while before I took in a breath. "Okay, let's both take a deep breath." I inhaled and exhaled. "And we'll make ourselves a deal. You help me get to Rip, Sara, and Veronica. Once they're safe, we can have this conversation. Fair?" He groaned and walked out before me. I smirked and wondered if Veronica was safe in this city. With her bow and arrow they could say she was trying to be Green Arrow and they might kill her.

Veronica's POV
"Hey Ollie, I'm gonna head out and look around."
"Be careful." I smiled and nodded before walking out of the Arrow Cave. I sighed and looked around before heading my way to the ship.
"Let me go!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"Shut it boy." I hid behind a wall and watched a group walk past with Connor.
"Shit." I whispered before turning back around to head to Oliver.
"Where you goin pretty lady?" A man asked and soon I was surrounded.
"Look she has a bow and arrow." Another said.
"Another archer? Wilson will be happy." My arms were grabbed and I scoffed.
"Let me go." I demanded and they held them tighter. I kept fighting and one guy twisted my arm until I heard a snap. "Ah!"
"Now she won't fight as much." They laughed and dragged me. "Wilson! We found another one."
"Well ain't you a beauty? Tie her to that post over there. I say we keep her." The man smirked. In his hand was a mask, the mask of Slade Wilson. "Tape her mouth so she doesn't make noise." He smirked walking over to me and grabbed my chin. "You are going to be my special friend." He whispered and I tried to fight but he held my chin in place. Once the tape was on my mouth he walked away.
I tried to fight back but the man who broke my arm gripped it more.
"Leave her alone!" Connor yelled but one of the people holding him hit his head. I was tied to the post and with my arm at the angle they left it, it hurt. They pulled Connor to a stage.
"You should be honored." Wilson smirked at Connor. "This is hallowed ground. I took Oliver Queen's arm in this very spot." Everyone started to cheer. I wanted to wipe that smug look off of his face.
"Well, then let me go, and we'll see which one of us is tougher....me or Queen." Connor said trying to fight his way out.
"I already know the answer to that. Ready the prisoner." Everyone cheered as the guards pulled Connor closer to the table. They set his head down to where it would be cut. I tried to wiggle my way lose but the rope was really strong since one of my arms was broken. I couldn't do wordless magic either and with my mouth bound I couldn't hum or sing.
He lined his sword up and was about to cut Connor's head off.
"Sir." He stopped and seemed pissed. The man walked up with Sara in his arms. I couldn't believe she would get captured. "We saw her trying to sneak past the perimeter."
"Sloppy." Wilson walked closer to the edge where Sara was. "The League of Assassins would be embarrassed. What was your strategy here? You really think you could just turn up tonight.....kill me?" Everyone laughed and I stopped fighting.
"No." Sara said. "It was just my job to distract you." She smirked and turned to look at a man. It was Oliver. I sighed in relief cause I did not want to be turned into Slade Wilson's son's playtoy.
Wilson pulled on his helmet and moved to be ready to attack Oliver. Oliver drew an arrow and shot it at Wilson, it caused an explosion. I so want some of those. Sara broke free and started to attack the man that captured her.
Oliver started to attack anyone who came at him and Connor got free. This was really pissing me off. I think Connor was the only one who knew I was here. Why did it seem I was becoming a damsel more often than not.
"You're not Green Arrow. You're just a punk in a Halloween costume." Wilson said to Connor.
"Funny, I was gonna say the same thing about you." They started to fight as Oliver barely made his way to them. Wilson was about to cut Connor's head when Oliver shot at him. Connor jumped out of the way and started helping Sara with the ground troops. I was really feeling left out.
"You want to fight the Green Arrow? I'm right here!" Oliver told Wilson before they fought. Suddenly I saw Kendra and Ray flying in.
"How did you convince Rip to stay?" Sara asked Ray as he landed next to her.
"Actually, sending in the cavalry was his idea." Ray told her as the rest of the team appeared.
"Where's Veronica?" Leonard asked Sara and Connor.
"She's wasn't with Oliver!" Sara yelled.
"Wilson has her tied to a post over there!" Connor told him. I'm so glad I could hear all this. Leonard ran over to where Connor told him and he saw me.
"Veronica!" He started to untie me until my body jerked. "Hold on." He pulled the tape off my mouth and rubbed his hand over my lips. "You okay?" He asked and tried to untie me again.
"Don't....my...my right arm...they broke it." I told him hissing because of the pain.
"Take a deep breath and I'll get you untied." He came closer to my body, his pressed right against mine so I could place my head in the nook of his shoulder. "Ready?" I nodded and he got me untied. I had to bury my head close into his shoulder. "Deep breath. Stay here and I'll be right back." I nodded and he kissed my cheek.
Once the remaining forces had fled after Connor and Oliver got Wilson down Leonard ran back to my side. I let my arm lay by my side.
"Come on." He stayed on my right side to make sure my arm didn't hit anything. "You should cradle it you know?"
"It hurts to move." I told him. We all gathered around Oliver. Oliver took one look at my arm and I could see he was pissed. So was Sara.
"Oliver?" Ray asked.
"It's good to see you again, Ray. Kendra. Thanks for the assist." Oliver said in his gruff voice.
"So who's that?" Kendra asked.
"His name is Grant Wilson. Once upon a time, his father, Slade, tried to ruin my life."
"That's not a nice family." Ray said.
"That's good shooting, John." Oliver said to Connor. I don't know why he won't call him Connor.
"It's Connor." Connor said getting sick of saying that. He handed Oliver back the bow.
"Either way, it's Green Arrow." Oliver and Connor smiled at each other before Oliver came over to me with Sara. "You okay Roni?" He asked touching my face with his left arm. Leonard tensed which confused me.
"Yeah..."
"So who's this?" He asked looking at Leonard. I blushed a little and Oliver smiled.
"That's Leonard Snart. Him and his partner Mick have been keeping a good eye on Roni." Sara said and Oliver laughed.
"So this is Leonard Snart?" I could see the smile in Oliver's eyes. "Thank you for watching Roni for me."
"I didn't do it for you. She's pleasant company." Leonard said pulling me into his arms. I blushed and tried to hide it but Oliver and Sara saw. "Besides she likes my company."
"True. Just know Roni is special to a lot of people." Oliver said.
"Ollie!" I said shocked and he laughed.
"Just giving him a hard time Roni, I know you don't need anyone to protect you, sometimes." I rolled my eyes at that. "We should get to the base." Oliver said to Connor. "You be safe Roni."
"I will." I told him smiling wide as he kissed my forehead. Leonard wanted to pull me back into his arms and away from Oliver.
"Rip. I promise I'll be on the ship soon." Sara said and Rip nodded. I watched Oliver, Sara, and Connor walk away.
"Well let's get back to the ship." Rip said and I hissed a little when I moved my arm. Leonard stayed by my side the whole time and even came to the Medbay with me.

Gideon had fixed up my arm and I sighed in relief.
"Hey I'm heading to the bridge." Leonard said walking into my room.
"Okay." I got up smiling at him.
"Your arm better?" He asked rubbing his hand up and down my bare right arm. I had shivers running down my spine.
"Yeah...thank you for rescuing me." I told him and he smirked.
"You are becoming a damsel in distress, you know that right?"
"As long as you're my knight in shining armor I don't mind." He smirked and kissed my cheek.
"Sure Roni." I blushed and he laughed turning to walk away but I grabbed his arm, stopping him.
"I'd like it if you didn't call me Roni."
"Why?" He asked confused.
"Because everyone calls me that. My knight should call me something special." I told him walking in front of him.
"Alright Nica." I blushed and smiled at him.
"Nica huh? I like it." He smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Once we reached the bridge I sat in the chair next to the one Leonard claimed for himself.
"Alright Gideon, let's see if these repairs that Martin, Ray, and Jax made are up to scratch." Rip said coming out of his office. Once he was close to his seat Leonard sat beside me. He placed a hand on my hand and I smiled at him.
"As far as I can tell, Ms. Saunders did most of the work, while the two gentlemen competed for...."
"Just get us out of here. Please Gideon." Stein said cutting Gideon off. I smirked and Leonard flipped our hands to where our fingers intertwined.
"What are you doing?" I asked him softly.
"Just making sure you don't leave." He smirked and I smiled.
"Never." He smirked and squeezed my hand.
"So where to next, Captain?" Stein asked.
"Well, the beauty of this mission is that the real question is not where, but when. In which case, I suggest that we next hit Savage when he least expects it." Rip said smiling.
