Disclaimer:I do not own CW's Arrow or its characters.

It was the darkest and coldest night Starling City ever had, people were walking around the dark street, apartment's and building's busy, all the citizens are busy with their own lives.

It was a peaceful night Starling City could ever ask for, but it won't last for long.

In the darkest part of Glades two shadows meet at a rooftop of an abandoned building.

"it's been a long time my friend" one man coming out of the shadows, walking step by step forward and towards the other man, who was still looking at the Cityscape.

But the man just laugh by what the man in a black suit said, he laughs and turn his attention to the man who is now standing in front of him.

"oh PU-lease don't ever try to tell a joke Malcolm, it is never your thing" the man finally took a step forward, borrowing some moonlight, now his face is finally shown, Malcolm Merlin smile with satisfaction seeing his old comrade, seeing his face gives Malcolm a realization that Starling City will experience hell in the coming days.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that jokes will only be yours" he said then he turns and observe the peaceful night of Starling City from the rooftop they were standing, the other man still looking deeply as well into cityscape, he inhale then exhale the air of the city,

"are you sure you wanted to ruin this masterpiece?" he asked Merlin gesturing his hand to the city while having a wide grin in his face, you could see that he wanted the idea as much as Merlin did.

"This City took something very important to me, and i wanted to take this city as gratitude to them all"
Merlin said changing his facial expression from satisfaction to grimace. He hated this City ever since his wife died, and he hated it more when this very city took his son away from him, he never regret the Undertaking, He never blames himself about what happen to his son, but he blames Oliver Queen The Arrow for interfering his plans, He blames Oliver for everything, the reason why Tommy died and thinking that the woman he loved, loves somebody else, Merlin thought that Tommy died in regrets and agony, and it gives him more reason to hate Oliver. And now that Thea is with him but not really WITH him, he blames Oliver because Thea loyalty is still with her brother, heart and soul, he couldn't invade Thea's trust because of Oliver, and he hates him even more.

But he finds a way to get Thea's trust and loyalty, and he is sure that once Oliver sees her, his world wilL come crashing down, and he intends to do so, little by little, he will crash Oliver to pieces, heart and soul until he no longer have a reason to live, but he needed help, a help from a special man that is now standing in front of him, a man that is much more lunatic than he is.

"Okay if you say so, then shall we start ?, Oh wait, your not my boss, and I am not under you as I do not follow orders from anyone, as long as that is understood then we can get along, right? right" he said and laugh not waiting for Merlin's responds.

"as you wish, JOKER" Merlin said with a grin in his face.

He was running, it was dark, he couldn't see anything but he continue tor run, as fast as he could, with bow and arrow to his hand, he run frantically, he was busy running he forgot the reason why.

he thinks again the reason why he was running, is he searching for something? but what?,
Looking for someone? but who?, Running away from someone?

That's right, someone is trying to kill him, but he couldn't remember who it was, but as soon as he remember that, he was worried. guilt, depression, fear for the people he cared about struck his heart like a pierce of lightning.

His Team, his Sister, his Felicity, he couldn't remember where they are, he wanted to shout but he was busy running away, but from who?.

then a shadow appear in front of him, that's when he finally stop running.

he then realized that he was in a tunnel, they were in a tunnel.

"who are you?, What do you want?" he wanted to sound like a beast, but there was a crack in his voice, evident of forcing himself to to cry.

"it is not important who i was , but what is important is this" the man behind the shadow gesture his hand toward his back, but What Oliver saw was hell.

Diggle, Roy, Sara, Laurel, Detective Lance, Thea and Felicity each of them was tied by their hands in a cross like pillar, they were all covered in blood, he wasn't sure if they were still alive.

he walks toward them, check them one by one, starting with diggle, he check his vital signs, he is breathing but he was beaten up very hard, then Oliver done the same thing to the rest of the group, and they all have the same results.

then he proceed to Thea, he cup her cheeks with both of his hand and apologizes a thousand times.

when he is about to go to Felicity the man behind the shadow suddenly come to light with a knife in his hand, Oliver's Eye widen when the man approaches felicity,

then without warning he stabbed Felicity right into her heart, she didn't scream, she didn't flinch, she didn't even make a sound, she died in piece.

"Welcome to Hell QUEEN" the man said his laugh is echoing loudly trough the entire tunnel,

and all Oliver could do is to shout "No!" disagreement to the hell he have seen.

he open his eye, and the first thing he sees is a bright blue eyes filled with concern starring back at him, then without a second thought he hug her, tightly, sinking into her warmth, her soft skin trough his rough hands, he couldn't believe that she is alive and well in front of him and now deep in his embrace, safe and sound.

"It's Okay, It's just a nightmare, we're all here" felicity couldn't hide the concern towards Oliver, She'd seen him having nightmares before, but it was nothing like this, he is panicking, he is trembling, She was sure that whatever he have dreamed of is not a good story for him to share.

She look at Roy, Diggle and Sara who was standing behind Oliver's back also concern towards their friend, they were in the lair, from that moment they all knew once the panic subsided he'll be back to his own prison, far beyond their reach, But the Team Wouldn't let that happen, not anymore, specially Felicity.
