Author's Note and Disclaimer:

This is one of my sequels to THE DAR(H)K WAR, I have planned more sequels coming but if I'm gonna actually write them depends on the inspiration for them and the time I can find for them.

If you have not read my fanfiction novel THE DAR(H)K WAR, I recommend reading it, so that you are not confused about some parts in this story. And warning, the updates might be irregular because I've gotta work on stuff from college and I might not get often ideas for how this story will go.

Most of the plot will follow S5, without Prometheus stuff (for the confused ones, all has been explained in THE DAR(H)K WAR) and sometimes I will try to find inspiration in other comic books or my own ideas for this story.

I do not own DC Comics or the CW TV shows Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow or any other characters or elements pertaining to the mentioned franchises

Hope you have fun

With regards

Lonnie Machin engaged a hooded man, holding a bow and a katana in his hands in close combat, pinning him to the window before the hooded man threw him to the ground, pummeling him, before the floor beneath them collapsed, causing for both of them to fall a few stories down as he saw in the room also a bomb but then, Machin got up on his feet, fighting the hooded man with his scythes but the hooded man blocked with his sword and bow and kicked Machin back and as Machin was about to attack again, the hooded man fired an arrow, pinning Machin's hands to a pillar as he screamed out as the hooded man stood there, while Machin looked disappointed.

"What, you're not gonna kill me?" Machin mocked. "What does a guy have to do to get a little love? Only tried to blow up a half of city."

The archer knocked Machin out before approaching the bomb, looking at the wiring and tapping his comms.

"Evergreen, do you copy?"

"Loud and clear." A female voice said. "Tap the device in and I'll handle it." The archer plugged a wire from a bomb to a small device on his belt as a few moments later, the bomb was deactivated. "Done. Though, if I were you, I'd get out of there, while you still can, Merlyn."

"Copy that." The archer said as he fired a grapnel arrow to the ceiling and vanished as a few moments later, Spartan, Arsenal, Wild Dog and Speedy entered.

"Damn it, we're late again." Arsenal groaned as they saw knocked out Machin and Speedy took a closer look at the arrow that pinned the criminal's hands to the wall.

"Those are the same arrows that Prometheus used."

It clicked for Spartan. "You're not thinking that he's back…"

Speedy nodded, not saying the thought out loud though.

Elsewhere in Star City

The hooded man entered a penthouse outside the town through the roof window as a young blonde woman, with a towel wrapped around her was coming out from shower, while the hooded man took off his hood, revealing the face of Tommy Merlyn as the blonde woman kissed him.

"How did it go?" The woman asked.

"Not bad, for the first week." Tommy teased.

"First Derek Sampson, now him… I like your job offer, Merlyn…"

"I told you, as far as the world is concerned, Tommy Merlyn is dead." He denied. "I cannot go out there like that. People might recognize…"

"That's why I made this for you." The woman said as she pulled out a small briefcase, revealing a wig, fake nose, some contact lenses and a moustache. "Now, all we need is a false background and an alias."

"Connor. Connor... Hawke?" Tommy suggested.

"No, that's cheesy." The woman shrugged. "How about 'Connor Rhodes'? That was my Mom's maiden name."

"Rhodes?" Tommy chuckled. "I like it."

"Though, how are you going to present yourself to people of Star City?"

"When I was… him…" Tommy looked down ashamed as the woman. "I… I was a monster…"

"That was all Takeo. Not you." The woman assured him. "You're a good person, Tommy." She touched his breast.

"Thanks. You're one of the few people that have always seen the good in me, Rachel." Tommy smiled gratefully before an idea hit him. "When Takeo trained me, I had to learn a lot of medicine; weak spots of body, pressure points, blood circulation and so on. Maybe I could pass myself as a doctor…"

"Give me an hour and I'll dummy up your credentials, Tom… Connor." Rachel corrected herself as she kissed him, while he ripped her towel off her body and both of them were making out on their bed.

The Lair

"Someone got to Machin before you?" Curtis asked.

"And he was very picky about his weapon of choice." Thea nodded as she pulled out a black arrow from her quiver. "Looks familiar?"

"Isn't that one of Prometheus's?" Curtis scowled in recognition. "But… Tommy is…" Then he widened his eyes in realization.

"He's back in Star City." Diggle said grimly, while Thea looked hopeful, trying to reach her half-brother.

Author's Note:

So, what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it bad? Should I continue?

Please review and let me know if you have been enjoying this.

And BTW, Connor Rhodes is a character from Chicago Med TV series, also played by Colin Donnell, who played in Arrow Tommy Merlyn.

The new character Rachel Gibson here is based on character of same name from spy TV series Alias and just to add a face, imagine she's played by Rachel Nichols. The stuff regarding Tommy will be explained as the plot continues, though I must warn you, the updates might be irregular because I am working on more stories now and I am a little busy with college.
