A young woman in a black clad costume stomped on a thug's foot before punching the man in the face. He collapsed broken and defeated. She turned around and see chaos has ensued ever since team arrow challenged Brick's gang and now the citizens of starling was caught in the middle.

"Canary" yelled Roy jumping over a car firing a stun arrow into a thug's chest knocking him out.

"Thanks Arsenal" said Laurel pulling out her tonfas.

"Hey, I always got your back" said Roy spinning around to shoot another criminal in the chest. Laurel attacked a nearby thug by slamming her tonfas on either side of his head before front kicking him in the stomach.

"Ted!" yelled Laurel as she seen her friend and mentor being thrown to the ground and Brick pulling out a pistol pointing it at Ted's head.

"I got him" said Roy as he strung an arrow and shot the gun out of Brick's hand. Brick turned to face them before running down a nearby alley. Laurel and Roy rushed to Ted side where Laurel knelt down and removed his mask. Roy stood by keeping guard.

"You're going to be fine" consoled Laurel.

"Good thing you fight better than you lie" coughed Ted.

"Go after brick, I can take care of Ted" ordered Laurel. Roy looked at laurel and ted than rush down the alley that Brick ran into. He began loading an arrow to shoot at Brick w

But instead he found Malcolm looking over Brick with a pure look of hatred holding an arrow in his right hand and holding a bloody Brick up with his left hand.

"Don't" said Roy lowering his bow down slightly.

"He killed my wife Roy he's the reason I'm the monster I am now" growled Malcolm holding the unconscious Brick in his grasp pressing the arrow closer to Brick's neck.

"That's not completely true" said Roy slowly walking over to Malcolm, "he killed your wife that's true but you're the one to choose to be the Dark archer, you chose to do the undertaking, you chose to kill those people."

"But you can still be a hero like Oliver" Roy said calmly, "Just by choosing to let him live, choosing justice over vengeance you won't be a monster anymore".

"Thea won't look at you like a monster responsible for the death of her friends, you could be someone she can look up to" continued Roy.

Malcolm look down at Brick contemplating everything Roy said. Roy lowered his bow thinking he got through with Malcolm. Then suddenly with a guttural roar Malcolm shoved the arrow into Brick's stomach. Brick gasped out in pain before going slack in Malcolm's arm.

"No!" roared Roy leaping at Malcolm but Malcolm easily deflected him sending him over his shoulder into the wall. Malcolm threw down a smoke bomb and disappeared into the night. Roy got up to check on Brick to see that none of his vitals were hit but unless he didn't go to hospital soon he die of infection.

Roy ran out of the alley to see his friends had won. But the civilians that had come outside to witness the spectacle or join the fight began to grow into an angry crowd.

"Where's the arrow!" they ranted over and over.

"I'm glad you're okay" said Laurel placing a hand on Roy watching as paramedics pushed Brick's body up into a waiting ambulance.

"What do we do?" asked laurel. Roy looked at the scene before him people in varying states were being put into an armada of ambulances. Thea was speaking to Captain Lance while he watched as his officers arrested thugs unconscious and awake alike. Diggle was sitting on the sidewalk as a paramedic attended to a head wound while Diggle talked on the phone most likely informing Lyla he was okay. He then focused on the large crowd of civilians demanding the Arrow, for their Hero.

"We tell them the truth" Roy said. He walked forward and jumped on top of a nearby. The crowd went quiet for a moment until one guy yelled out, "Where's the Arrow?"

"The Arrow hasn't been around for a while and I know there's a lot of speculation about why but I'm here to tell you that he's dead" Spoke Roy, "But we are still here" he pointed to Canary and Speedy.

"We won't give up on this city and neither should you" with that said Roy pulled out his bow and shot an arrow into the air and then swung off into the night.
