Chapter 18: The Savior and a New Beginning
The Arrow Cave was a lot like a family dinner, and Adam was the one who was there to stir the pot and make a lot of jokes. The only difference was that this family dinner had a lot more weapons and a lot more drama.
"I'm the family clown. The one who makes jokes at the expense of everyone else. But in this case, the family is a group of vigilantes, the jokes are about their trauma, and the pot I'm stirring is a pot of... well, it's probably a pot of trauma. A lot of trauma. I need to be more careful with my metaphors."
The current drama was a new villain, "The Savior." He was a man who was, as Adam so eloquently put it, "a really, really bad name for a villain." He was forcing Oliver to make a difficult choice that would change his life forever.
[Mission: Help Oliver make the right decision.]
Adam sighed. "Guido, that's not a mission. That's a suicide note. This is a classic 'hero's choice' plotline. I'm going to need a little more detail. Or a lot more coffee."
He knew he couldn't just stand by and watch. He had to protect Oliver. He had to use his Gu. He had to be a silent guardian, a watchful protector. Or, you know, a sarcastic guy who knew things. Same difference.
He used his meta-knowledge and his B-Rank Soul Gu to help Oliver make the right decision. He made him think about his friends, about his team, about the sacrifices they had made for him. He made him think about a different path, a better path.
He was in the Arrow Cave, watching the news report. The Savior was giving a press conference, talking about his next target. He was a master manipulator, a master of deception. He was, as Adam so eloquently put it, "a really bad name for a villain."
Adam focused on the news report, on The Savior's voice. He felt the mental buzz of the Soul Gu. He wasn't controlling his mind, just nudging his thoughts, a little whisper in the back of his head. He made him think about the fake robbery, the fake explosion, the fake everything. He made him think about a different path, a better path.
He watched as The Savior's eyes widened. He had a look of shock on his face. Adam smiled. He had done it. He had protected the team from The Savior, and he had made him a little more open to the truth.
[Mission Complete. Oliver's Decision Influenced.]
[Reward: B-Rank Hope Gu and 10,000 Coins.]
[Gu Acquired: B-Rank Hope Gu.]
[Coins Acquired: 10,000.]
He felt a new, powerful buzzing sensation in his gut. The Hope Gu. A Gu that could subtly influence hope, that could make him a master of inspiration and motivation. A sarcastic, pop-culture-obsessed master of inspiration and motivation.
"A Hope Gu! This is going to be so much fun. I can finally create a fake hope to mess with Oliver. Or a fake hope to mess with Diggle. The possibilities are endless. I'm a hope-bender now. A very, very sarcastic hope-bender. It's a good look for me."
