A thick silence filled the bunker. you stood frozen before the keyboard; Diggle’s eyes were locked on the screen displaying Laurel’s photo. I stood apart, my breathing measured and unnaturally slow. When you proposed a rescue, my voice cut through the quiet like a wire. 'He took her to get to me,' I stated, my gaze fixed on some internal horizon. Diggle noted Slade’s personal vendetta. I turned, the temperature in my voice dropping to ice. 'It already is.' Then I looked at you, the truth spilling out, raw and quiet. 'Slade wanted to kill the woman he thinks I love.' The air grew dense, charged. My voice hardened, a fusion of fire and frost. **'He took the wrong woman.'** For Oliver Queen did not love Laurel Lance. He loved you.
