          “YOU DIDN’T TELL ME!!” He yelled, a hint of glitch choking him up at the very last second. His face had changed, from something that looked far too innocent to… disappointment, a murderous rage. However, his hands sat in the air, fingers curled into claws, twitching and vibrating at infrequent times as he debated just exactly what he was doing. Until now, Olivia had been his most capable non-meta fighter, destroying the competition, made a lot of garbage he had to clean up. It was wonderful, his favorite fights of the night… And now? Well, now things were different. 

          A shaking breath turned into a much more malevolent chuckle, shaking his head and painfully slowly lowering his hands. He brought them up again to pull the goggles from his eyes, pushing down the entire open-faced cowl with them. “I will admit… you were wonderful to watch without the use of your ability… however… there’s a very… very big problem now.” The lightning had started to quiet down, the evil speedster coming back mostly into full vision. His eyes… those still seemed to glow with the fury of a lightning storm. “You signed under me as non-meta. You wanted to terminate that contract, and yet you’ve violated my one rule.”

Olivia didn’t flinch at his outburst, he didn’t scare her, maybe he should have but ever since the Battle of the Gulag there wasn’t much that could scare her, she’d already lost everything, there was nothing more she could lose. “For a speedster you’re not very fast at getting to the point” she commented, clearly not having the patience for whatever it was Thad was trying to do. “Just tell me what you want.”

The investigation into the fight ring wasn’t over yet. There was a lot of money behind it, and no one wanted to be a rat on whoever was behind it. That either meant the money was that good or the guy was that scary. Or both.

Olivia. She saw the girl from a distance and thoughts of investigation went right out the window. The girl had just finished up another fight – a win this time. Dinah didn’t know what to even say as she approached. Their last conversation had ended with Olivia casting her out from the hospital room, and maybe she still didn’t want to see Dinah, but she had to at least try. “Olivia?” she said hesitantly as she approached the girl. She should have been angry, finding the girl here after the last fight had landed her in the hospital. But all she felt was relief, seeing her face to face. “Is there anywhere we could talk?”

Olivia knew Dinah would eventually be back at the fight club, she was investigating after all, she just hoped it wouldn’t be on days Olivia wasn’t there. Obviously that was too much to hope for, at least she didn’t look mad, that was something. “Dinah... yeah I guess, follow me” she replied with a small nod before heading towards the locker room.

Donna let out a soft, low chuckle. The younger girl was clearly a bit flustered, though she could blame the red tinge on her cheeks from the exertion of the fight. “Okay,” she agreed and began to pay attention to the girl’s cuts. “What is the canary’s true name?” she asked, her eyes flickering over to meet the girl’s gaze.

Olivia shifted her gaze towards the wounds the other woman tended to, trying to focus on that instead of... something else. It took her a minute to register that she’d asked for her name, too busy trying to focus on the cuts. “Oh, uh, my name’s Olivia.”

Jean was a patient person. She was a doctor and a teacher, so she needed to be – but she also found that when someone managed to grind at her, they really got the brunt of her tightly controlled irritation. She didn’t want to do that. She was here to help, and this girl was clearly scared. Whatever was going down here was worse than she imagined. “You don’t need to know anything,” she replied. “All you need to do is point. I’m not going to blow the place sky high – but the fighters you point me to tonight get to live unharmed until tomorrow. That’s something.”

“I can’t do that” Olivia replied, she wanted to tell her so she could try to help the other fighters, she did, but she already had enough trouble with Thad and she didn’t want to screw up the chance she had at getting out of her contract. “I’m sorry, I just... you should ask someone else.”

“You were impressive,” Donna said, approaching the much smaller opponent after the girl had won her fight. A pretty smile had gotten Donna into the locker room with few questions. The contender had clearly been trained by a few different teachers. Her techniques were a blend of different styles of fighting, many of which Donna had learned on Themyscira. However, when she looked at this girl, Donna didn’t see someone with a gleam of desire for the violence. Instead, she saw a dead weight hanging on the other’s shoulders. The girl had not escaped without any cuts or bruises. “Let me help,” she offered, taking a wet cloth and motioning at one of the larger cuts.

“Could have gone better” Olivia commented, hear head leaned backwards against one of the lockers while her gaze was on the ceiling. She had held back a little and could probably have avoided most of the cuts and bruises that had been inflicted on her during the fight. When the woman offered to help Olivia shifted her gaze from the ceiling to the other woman. Wow, she’s pretty she thought before realizing she hadn’t said anything about her offer to help. “Uh... yeah, sure, I mean...” get it together Livy “okay.”

People who she expected to visit the apartment rarely knocked. Many refused to even use the front door, much to Dinah’s frustration. How many times was Ollie going to let rain come through the window when he was coming back from a quick patrol without her? (Their patrols together were a bit more tense in recent times, and Dinah knew that was on her. The bottle of vodka was the elephant in the room.) Dinah was waiting for Ollie to get back from an actual business meeting so she had said bottle in her hand and was considering opening it up if he was too much longer. The knock made the decision for her and she put it back in the cabinet, going toward the door. The last person she thought she’d see was Olivia, and then the smell of alcohol hit her. (Was this what Dinah looked like lately?) “You okay there?” she said, holding out a hand and then stopping, not sure where the boundaries were after their fight in the hospital. “Wanna come in? I can put something in the microwave.”

“Heeey” Olivia said once she was face to face with Dinah, heavily leaning against the doorframe as she struggled to keep her balance, how she’d managed to get to Dinah’s place without falling she had no idea. “Tequila taste terrible and make my head feel funny” she said, her words slightly slurred. “Okay” she nodded at Dinah’s offer to come inside though she didn’t move from her place “am I moving? I feel like I’m moving” or maybe the room was moving, she couldn’t tell.

His brow furrowed at first, confused as to why they would have such similar names if they weren’t twins. He thought his parents were more creative than that. When she explained, though, a smirk crept up and a chuckle sounded. “Wow, I’m super creative on the naming, huh? God, I must be old there. Do I have both arms?” he asked, remembering a comment made from the Legends once upon a time.

“I think my mom picked the name, and there are worse people to be named after” Olivia replied with a small shrug. “You weren’t that old, and you had both arms until... until you died” the young vigilante told him.

Olivia knew using her powers during the fight had been a bad idea, she hadn’t had much of a choice if she wanted to survive though. She’d managed to not use them for every single fight in the fight club up until then and now she was almost positive Thad would go back on their deal.

“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t see the point, it’s not like I used it in the fights” except for this last one but that had only been as a last resort. 

She’d never wanted to see him again after that fight and now he was in her apartment, she was tempted to use her powers on him, but she refrained from it, he was already mad and that would probably only piss him off even more, which was the last thing she needed right now.

Olivia’d had a few drinks, she wasn’t sure how many exactly, things had started to get a little hazy after her first two and now she didn’t know how many she’d had before leaving the bar. If she was being honest she wasn’t completely sure where she was either. Eventually she found herself outside of Dinah’s door, how was another thing she wasn’t sure of. Other than a few texts she hadn’t spoken to Dinah since that day in the hospital, where she said some things she regretted. After she knocked on the door considered for a brief moment to leave before Dinah answered but before she could make a decision the door opened.

Oliver continued to look at the young woman strangely, confused as to why she seemed fixated on him. But then, it started to make sense. At least, a little. Apparently his issue of swapping places was not an isolated occurrence. He nodded in understanding, beginning to understand where she was coming from. He had done his fair share of staring as well. So many familiar faces on this Earth. His nodding abruptly stopped as the woman gave her name. A slow smile began to spread across his face. “What? Are we twins on your world? Oliver and Olivia?”

“No, not twins” Olivia said, she’d never imagined she’d have to explain to an alternate universe version of her father that she was his daughter on her earth, let alone that she’d have to explain it to two different versions of her father. “On my earth you’re my dad” she told him, curious if this Oliver would take the news differently than the other Oliver did.

“My chances of survival outweighed yours.” Laura would always be the survivor. Her abilities made it impossible not to, and there had been a point in her life where she’d tested those abilities to the max – wanting anything to escape this life. Now, she had so much to live for. So much to return to.

“I know, but it was still an atomic bomb, I wasn’t sure-” Olivia shook her head, it didn’t matter anymore, Laura was alive, that’s all that mattered. “Who- uh, who else survived?” She wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer, but up until now she had no way of knowing for sure who survived the battle and who didn’t, she had to know for sure.

The words hurt like being stabbed – not in the back but the heart. With anyone else, Dinah would have shouted back, screamed if she had to. But with Olivia, she just stood there at a loss for words. “You’re right. I’m not,” she said after a long, painful moment. She turned to the door, so Olivia couldn’t see the tears welling in her eyes. “I should go now.”

I didn’t mean it she wanted to say I’m sorry, though none of those words made it past her lips, instead she averted her gaze to the floor, hiding the tears running down her cheeks. This was for the best, she wouldn’t be responsible for anyone else she cared about dying, she’d lost her mom once, she couldn’t go through that again. Don’t leave “yeah, you should” she told her.

The girl was panicked about something. Jean didn’t even need to go around the peripheries of her mind to pick up on that much. She was shifting on her feet, her eyes were roaming from side to side (there was something strange about one of them, something that reminded Jean of a boy she had seen in the White Hot Room, a boy that reminded her so much of Scott) and it was clear that she would rather be doing anything else than having a conversation with Jean at this point in time.

Good. Jean needed to get her answers, and if making someone vaguely uncomfortable was the way to get them, that was just what she would do. “Something?” Jean asked, raising an eyebrow. The girl wasn’t particularly selling it, telling half truths that Jean could smell a mile off. “I’m with Xavier’s,” Jean said, opting for the full truth. “I am here to protect mutants and other powered individuals who might be taken advantage of in these matches. If you could help point me in the right direction … you would be doing a good thing.”

This was the last thing Olivia needed, she just wanted to get this fight over with because once it was she’d be closer the death match, closer to getting out of her contract. “I don’t know anything about that” she lied, she felt bad about the other fighters, but Dinah was investigating the fight club and would hopefully be able to take it down sooner rather than later. “You should ask someone else.”

          His heart nearly stopped. Christ. Both hands stopped nervously rummaging and went to fist in his hair, the mess peaking through nearly white knuckles. Just chill the fuck out, Drake. “I guess so,” He half-chuckled. His hands went back to looking for smaller tools, trying to take a look at the eye at the same time. “… How… did you know to come here?”

“Well, in my universe we were friends” Olivia replied with a small shrug. “And you were pretty good with things like this there so I hoped it would be the same here” she explained.
