Oliver fell to his knees as Ras 'al Ghul pulled the cold blade from his chest. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. The man standing before him planted a foot on his chest and roughly shoved him backwards, laughing darkly. He felt weightless as he fell, the snowy ground getting closer with each passing second. Before blacking out, he saw a red and yellow streak racing towards him.
Oliver groaned, as his eyes opened to a harsh, white light. His head pounded painfully as he tried to sit up. He heard footsteps approaching as he fell back against the soft bed.
"Hey, look who's finally awake!" a female voice said from across the room. A dark figure leaned over him.
"Welcome back Sleeping Beauty!" he said brightly.
"Cisco?"
"Yeah, and you sir, need to rest."
The reality of what had happened came flooding back.
"Thea…I need to save Thea!"
Another voice sounded from the other side of the bed.
"Calm down Oliver. You have been stabbed in the chest and kicked off a mountain. You need to rest." It was Dr. Wells
"But he's going to kill Thea! I need to go, NOW!" Oliver said urgently, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed.
Caitlyn spoke up again. "Don't worry, Barry will get her tomorrow and bring her here."
Right on cue, Barry walks in. "Hey! You made it!" He said.
"Speaking of which, how did I survive?" Oliver asked incredulously.
"I talked to Felicity, and she told me you were on your way to a death match, so I got there as fast as I could for backup."
"I don't need backup, I can handle myself."
"Well, obviously you couldn't, so I saved your butt. You're welcome, by the way. Besides, that Ras guy doesn't even know you're alive, or that Thea killed Sara."
He took it into consideration, calming down slightly. He leaned back against his pillow once more, closing his eyes.
