"You said you wanted to bond, and bribed me with Vodka."
Who: Ollie and Thea
When: Saturday afternoon, before Ollie's text to Wrex
Where: A brand NEW Hybrid of Doom apparently, and the ranch entrance
What: Ollie tricked Thea into going to the ranch with him. She finds out and is Not Happy.
Warnings: Swearing, Violence. R in terms of language and violence and potential vehicular threats. Some of Thea’s fears about the place could lead to triggery bits re: searching bodies and such.
“You said you were taking me to meet my three years older than me nephew.” Thea accused as soon as the Lexus reached the gates of a place that looked, well, ominous to her at least. “You said you wanted to BOND and bribed me with vodka.” She added, when the Urdnot Ranch sign came into view. “Instead you think I’m going to...Oh HELL to the no.” She snapped, immediately getting what kind of place this was. You couldn’t trust anybody. She’d known Ollie had called her parents, sure, of course he had. Mr. Social Conscience Hipster at work and all, but she didn’t think he’d have gone this far, and this close to a major city. It’d make escaping easier if she went that route, but these places generally took everything from you when they strip searched you for drugs on the way in, and there was no way she was taking the risk or going down without a fight.
Her so called brother took that moment to glance at her as they were driving down the path, and that was when Thea decided she might as well take a shot here. She’d never done the violence thing before, but she could learn. Ollie got an elbow to the eye, and a hard one before she reached out to yank away the wheel. “You can just forget it.” she snapped, tugging on it hard from the passenger seat to veer offroad. “I am not fucking going.”
“THEA.” Oliver had been expecting her to be pissed when she found out she was going to a rehab place of sorts, true, but she was so LITTLE. He hadn’t thought there was going to be any great amounts of violence either. Sure, he was used to having pissed off teenagers around him, but Roy had always preferred to hit with words, not elbows or fists or the fucking wheel of a 2013 for God’s sake.
“You see that post there?” Thea jerked her head, and the wheel, toward a fence. “You try to take me any further and we’re landing there. Maybe we’ll get killed, we hit it head on, I don’t know. I’ll risk it.” She added, sounding a whole lot braver than she felt about this.
“Okay, no,” Oliver yanked at the wheel himself,, which was probably stupid, as there was a little tug of war going on here and it was probably more dangerous than just letting her stop, and was thankful, really thankful, that he’d popped on the childsafe locks after she’d gotten in. It would have been a lot worse if she’d tried to throw herself out while it was moving. “We’re not gonna do it this way.” He added, reaching out with a free arm to grab her wrists away from the wheel. “Look, how about you calm down.” he added, steering them offroad somewhere a lot safer, “And we talk about this?”
“Save it, Oliver.” Thea snapped, and, the second the car had stopped, she was unbuckling her belt and crawling over the seat, where she launched herself at him, digigng freshly manicured nails into his face and raking them down HARD. “Just SAVE it. I know what we’re here to do, and I can’t let you put me in one of these.” She added, reaching for the ignition and turning it, hard, before she fumbled to get to the gas pedal.
“Thea, stop it!” Oliver’s arms found themselves around her shoulders, the way he’d seen Clint restraining Roy and making it work. Not too tight of a hold that it would hurt her but enough to keep her out of any kind of trouble. Okay, so the kick to get her foot away from his pedal might have hurt, but he wasn’t going to let her kill them over this either. “Look, nobody’s doing this to hurt you.”
“That’s what my asshole parents said.” Thea kicked back at Ollie’s foot on the pedal, trying to slam it down and jerk the wheel off anywhere. She didn’t care if she wound up dead. She wasn’t going to one of THOSE places. She read the internet, she knew what they were like. “That’s the same bullshit that came out of the school intervention. It wasn’t true then, and it isn’t gonna be true now.” She said, furiously, brushing away a tear that had started to form. It wasn’t like crying was gonna help her right now. Getting OUT of here was. If that meant she fought him for the pedal and the wheel all the way, then she was gonna do it.
“Okay, you know what? No.” It was easy enough to shut off the ignition again, and this time get the window open JUST enough that Ollie could toss the keys out the window behind him. It’d mean a little hike back here later on, but he could manage that. “We’re not doing it that way Thea, I’m not letting you kill us." He added, tightening the hold just enough to keep her secure, and not moving.
“You can hate me if you want, God knows ROY does, but you don’t get to get out of it. Not now.” He added, waiting until she seemed calm enough to not try kicking out windows or anything before activating his stark phone with the voice commands.
“Text Wrex: Gonna need a little help here. Driving up and things got crazy. Send.”
“You’re not my father.” Thea snapped, not willing to go down without at least something that was going to get to him. “You’re NOT even my brother.” His face was bleeding and his eye was swelling and she wanted to just HURT him, cut him to the bone so deep he’d keep the scars forever. If he was going to do this...
And that was when she wound up crying.
