4 I am Lucas Queen

I left the house despite telling Oliver and the rest of my family I would stay in. I wouldn't have left if I didn't need to I am not very keen on the feeling of my skin burning.

I want to go to my lair or would it be a hideout? Anyway, I need to go down to my place of operations, I need to continue my research on magic. I have some tomes I grabbed from the man that gave me the tattoos his name was Amun and I think he was an Egyptian magic-user.

Anyways I took the tomes and I have been studying them ever since, the language they use seems to be a mix between Egyptian and something else.

I think if I can figure out what the tomes say I can learn some of this magic. He used blood in most of his spells so that's why I am thinking I could learn them.

I got to my hideout and began my research, I pulled up my scanned pages of the tomes and began to run them through yet another translation and dialect finder.

While that was running I began to practice with my throwing knives. Being a vampire my whole body is a weapon, I can grow claws sharper than daggers in less than a second.

But, I like to throw knives it calms me and helps me focus my attention. I started to throw my knives in quick succession at the targets.

*shink*

They all sunk into the bullseye faster than the human eye could see, if a human saw me it would have looked as if the knives were in my hand then teleported inside the bullseye.

After a couple of hours of my therapeutic knife throwing, I checked back on the tome translation process. The second language is yet to be found sadly and it is time for dinner.

I left the program running and decided to head back home.

As I approached my house I started to think about just what I wanted to do now that the Arrowverse has officially kicked off. I am not going to be a savior, it's pointless. But I am not going to be a villain either.

I am an opportunistic person at heart and won't mind getting dirty, but I am not particularly fond of having the glades ruined like they were in the arrow.

I will just be myself and see what happens, I think most people that find themselves in my situation like I have read in fanfiction and comics tend to choose one singular path in life, I don't roll like that, I like to live my life the way I want to and I won't let some stupid 'plot' get in my way.

I rolled up to my driveway and saw Tommy's car along with some police cars. It seems Oliver just got 'saved' by the hood.

I walked through the front door to hear, "One day back and already somebody's gunning for you." Detective Lance said

"What happened? One day back and the cops are already here." I asked in a confused tone

Detective Lance and the others turned and looked at me, "And where have you been?" The detective asked

"I have been working out a business deal at the Ruby Lounge," I replied confidently

'Believe me' I put into his feeble human mind

"Okay, alright," he nodded still a little angry

I smiled at him and his partner as they left.

Turning to the rest I said, "he was a joy,"

"Always is," Tommy said with an eye roll

Oliver just gave me a little smile

"So you have business at the Ruby Lounge Lucas?" Moira questioned me

"Yes, I did and it went rather well," I replied giving her a slight smile

"Oh, really what was the deal? That bar is rather famous." Walter said from the side

"Oh I bought it," I replied indifferently

"How?" Moira asked with her brows furrowed

"I still have access to my accounts you know?" I replied with a weary smile

"Oh! I forgot honey you know how crazy it has been," Moira replied flushing a bit in embarrassment

"Haha, well I'm going to head up to my room," I said slipping upstairs

Once I got upstairs I changed into more comfortable clothes and decided to read a book, Lucas had quite the number of books in his rook.

I found a book I would like, its title was: The art of war by Sun Tzu. I started to read the book at a regular human speed, I was a good thirty pages in when I heard someone approaching my door, the footsteps were nimble and almost silent a human wouldn't be able to hear these steps.

*knock*

"Can I come in?" Oliver said on the other side of my door

"Sure," I replied dryly

He opened the door and walked in, facing me he said "what are your plans,"

I looked up from my book and quirked one brow up and responded, "I plan to do what I want, I am not overly obsessed with the list as you. And just in case you didn't realize it by now that crash was no accident."

He froze, his face went blank, "what do you mean?"

I scoffed, "Oliver don't be an idiot, father has a book of names of evil rotten individuals and was obviously planning something from the way he talked on the raft, and now you get kidnapped? I don't know what they asked you but I guarantee they didn't want money, I am probably next."

He stopped to ponder what I said, "you might be right, just be careful." he replied then walked out

Wow, some brother I have, I'm over here dropping hints and shit, and he is focused on two things the list and that detective Lance's daughter's pussy.

I went back to reading, the book was honestly interesting.

A couple of hours later I heard Oliver leaving, I then heard the discussion about bodyguards and Diggle being Oliver's. I'm probably going to get one as well sadly.

I mean whoever I get as a bodyguard I will have to either actually trust which is extremely unlikely or I would have to implement mind seeds into her subconscious. A mind seed is a specific mental command that will slowly grow like a plant unnoticeable to the subject, it will change their psyche at the deepest level. Say I want them to be loyal I will plant the seed and it will slowly grow until they are so loyal to me they would rather kill their own family than betray me, but that's an extreme scenario.

If I could turn them into a vampire I would because they would automatically be loyal to me, the thing is I can't protect them from the sun.

"Lucas Mrs.Queen wants you to go downstairs she has a guest for you to meet," Raisa our maid said on the other side of my door

"Okay, thank you, Raisa," I replied in a friendly tone

I rolled off my bed in one smooth motion and began to find my way down the steps of my house, as I reached the bottom I saw Moira, Walter, and a black human about six ft, his build was strong and muscled he stood straight and looked like he was ready for anything. His eyes showed he has seen a lot of battle, he looked exactly like someone from a certain tv show.

"Lucas I would like you to meet Dembe Zuma, he will be your bodyguard we aren't taking any chances since Oliver's kidnapping," Moira said in a slightly commanding tone

I walked forward and held out my hand, Dembe shook it as I said, "it's a pleasure to meet you Dembe I will be in your care,"

"Pleasures mine Mr.Queen," he replied his voice was rough and calm

Dembe is a cool bodyguard to have, I'm not disappointed, and I'm sure he can be a good subordinate to have. Maybe dare I say it, friend.

I flashed Walter and Moira a smile then decided to head back into my room, the book was good and I wanted to finish it.

[next night]

I was in the car with Dembe driving to Oliver's party, he will steal from Adam Hunt tonight and I personally plan on taking much more than forty million dollars.

"Dembe what did you do before being my bodyguard?" I asked while we drove listing to soothing music

"I worked as a bodyguard to a couple of other people, before that I was a mercenary in Africa," he replied bluntly

That sounds about right from what I remember from the blacklist, I wonder if there are other blacklist characters? I looked up Raymond Reddington last night and nothing came up so I'm not sure.

We arrived at the party, I walked in confidently with Dembe. People were taking pictures of me as I approached the entrance.

I walked through the entrance and saw Oliver and Tommy almost immediately, walking over I said, "Tommy, Oliver! Great party!"

"Thanks, Lucas you should have let me throw it for the both of you!" Tommy replied with a smile

"You know I don't like the attention!" I said with a shrug

"Nice of you to join us, Lucas," Said Oliver passing me a drink

"Haha, hey is that our sister?" I said pointing at Thea

"Yeah, let me talk to her," he replied

"Okay," I said walking off to someone else

"Laurel it's good to see you!" I said with a jovial smile

She turned around and looked at me her eyes widened then a smile graced her lips, "Lucas, it's good to see you!" she said going in for a hug

My arms snaked around her back and her arms mine, we embraced each other listing to the music. I saw Oliver looking our way and winked at him.

Pulling back I said, "Oh Laurel let me introduce you to my bodyguard Dembe he's quiet but very nice," I gestured for Dembe to come over

"Dembe this is Laurel Lance she and I go way back," I said gesturing at her

"Nice to meet your Ms.Lance," Dembe said shaking her hand

"Likewise," she replied amicably

"So how have you been Laurel?" I asked lightly

"Good, I'm a lawyer now. How have you been adjusting to being back?" she asked giving me a beautiful smile

"I'm adjusting okay, it's weird being able to sit back and relax on my couch with a tub of ice cream," I replied with a warm smile

"I bet, say where is Oliver?" she asked

"Not sure why? I heard you two aren't getting along." I said with my brow quirked

"Oh have you? Well, I just want to talk to him real quick," she replied in an annoyed tone

"Oh there's your brother I'm going to go talk to him, it was great seeing you Lucas, and a pleasure meeting you Dembe," she added looking at Oliver

"Go for it," I replied giving her an encouraging smile

Turning to Dembe I said shaking my head, "Woman am I right?"
