Star City
Next night
"You're late." Green Arrow noted as Pike walked up behind him.
"How do I know you're not the one who killed Quentin?" Pike demanded.
"If you believed that, you would have called in the swat team the moment I contacted you." Green Arrow said knowingly.
"Yeah, you're right," Pike said as he handed the archer an evidence bag with an arrow in it, "That's what killed Quentin. If I give you this, I want you to promise me something: kill the bastard who killed Quentin."
"Done." Green Arrow promised.
Arrow lair
Later
"It's almost identical in design to the arrows Malcolm uses." Oliver noted as he studied the arrow.
"Could Malcolm have done this?" Laurel asked and Oliver shook his head.
"Even if he's had his hand replaced, he was too short to be Malcolm. And the way this guy moved…it wasn't Malcolm. Lyla thinks it's some guy named Prometheus." Oliver said as he put the arrow down.
"What does she have on him?" Diggle asked.
"Not much. A few hits here and there, the occasional run in with Argus. The guy is a ghost." Oliver said frustrated.
"But we know he has to work for Hive. I mean, it's an awful big coincidence that Prometheus shows up right after Darhk goes to jail and Hive decides to take out my Captain Lance." Thea said, shooting Laurel an apologetic look.
"You may be on to something Thea," Oliver said as he considered it, "Prometheus may work for Hive. Who do we know who knows the most about Hive?"
"Damien Darhk." Laurel hissed.
Iron Heights
Later
From his vantage point outside the prison, Prometheus looked at the prison stonily before he pulled out a remote the size of a chocolate bar. Prometheus pressed the button on it and, a moment later; there was a large explosion that took out a large part of a wall of the prison. The prisoners that weren't killed in the explosion suddenly realized they now had a way out. Damien Darhk and his fellow prisoners began to flee. Amidst the chaos, Prometheus met Darhk as the other prisoners fled.
"You have done a splendid job my friend!" Darhk said jovially as Prometheus approached him.
"I am here to serve you master." Prometheus told him obediently.
Outside Starling City, en route to Iron Heights
Same time
"That was Lyla," Diggle said as he hung up the phone, turning to Oliver in the driver's seat, "Hive just blew up part of Iron Heights to spring Darhk. He's on the move."
"Well it's a good thing we brought our business suits." Thea joked half-heartedly.
"Don't joke Thea, not now. John, does Lyla still have that tracer on Darhk?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, I have coordinates now." Diggle said as he looked at his phone.
Highway between Star City and Iron Heights
Later
Darhk was in the passenger seat of a prison transfer car when the driver suddenly saw someone standing in the road. Green Arrow fired and the arrow pierced the front of the vehicle, forcing it to stop.
"Get out of the car Damien!" Green Arrow bellowed.
Darhk and his driver got out of the car, both with their hands up. Still, Green Arrow did not relax, as Darhk still had the smirk of victory on his face. Suddenly, the back doors of the truck burst open and a masked figure with a bow and arrow jumped out from behind, aiming at Green Arrow.
"Allow me to introduce my associate, Prometheus. Although I think you two may have already met. I am sorry about Captain Lance, by the way." Darhk said mockingly.
"You're out numbered." Green Arrow said as the rest of Team Arrow walked up behind him.
"Are we?" Darhk raised an eyebrow.
From a higher section of the highway, a squad of men with assault rifles leaned over the railing and fired at Team Arrow. Team Arrow jumped out of the way as Prometheus fired. Green Arrow caught his arrow but Prometheus then jumped and tackled Green Arrow, sending them both off the highway and into a lower section.
"Ollie!" Speedy called out as they landed on the section bellow them.
"He can take care of himself, worry about them now!" Spartan ordered as they took cover behind a car.
Green Arrow and Prometheus picked themselves up and the battle began. Prometheus took out his sword and swung at Green Arrow. Green Arrow ducked, rolled under Prometheus and swung around, intending to hit Prometheus with his bow. Prometheus whirled around and blocked him with his sword. Prometheus jumped back, putting his sword back in its sheath before taking out his bow. Notching an arrow quickly, Prometheus fired at Green Arrow but the archer dodged it before countering with his own arrow.
"Speedy, can you get up there!?" Spartan shouted over the gun fire.
"I'll never make it with them shooting at us!" Speedy shouted.
"We'll cover you but can you get up there?!" Black Canary asked.
At Speedy's nod, they sprang into action. Spartan raced out from behind the car, firing at the snipers. Black Canary jumped out, screaming her sonic scream, distracting the snipers. Speedy jumped out and fired an arrow with a line at the upper section. As they arrow went into the concrete, Speedy ran over to the other side of the highway before using a car to get a kick start. Using the arrow line like a tree fane, she swung up to the upper section. Once there, she fired an arrow into one of the snipers shoulders, causing him to drop his rifle. As they turned and took aim at her, Spartan picked up the rifle and fired at them. He hit them in the back while Speedy fired arrows, hitting two of them in the shoulder. Once they were all incapacitated, Team Arrow looked over at where they had started. Darhk was long gone.
Green Arrow dodged some arrow fired at him by Prometheus before retaliating with some of his own. Prometheus dodged them and then the two archers rushed each other. They slammed their bows against each other, like swords.
"You're good, very good." Prometheus noted.
"You're not bad yourself. But you killed a friend of mine, you're gonna pay for that." Green Arrow growled.
Green Arrow pressed a lot more force into his bow and they two bows were suddenly thrown from their owners grasp. As the weapons clattered onto the road, it suddenly became a fist fight between the two archers. Green Arrow ducked under his enemy and came up behind him and wrapped his arms around Prometheus' neck in a neck lock.
"Tell me where Hive meets!" Green Arrow growled.
"I exist to serve Hive!" Prometheus shouted as he pulled out his sword.
Green Arrow released Prometheus and jumped back, dodging the sword. Prometheus whirled around and lunged for Green Arrow, aiming his sword for the other archer's neck. Green moved his neck out of the way of Prometheus' blade before landing one solid, powerful punch to Prometheus' face.
The sword clattered to the ground as Prometheus was thrown back. As he was, his mask was thrown off and his hood fall back by the force of the punch. He landed on his chest, so Green Arrow couldn't see his face but he had a dark head of hair. Green Arrow walked over and picked up Prometheus' sword as his enemy stood up. He prepared to resume the fight until Prometheus turned around. In shock, Green Arrow dropped the blade, staring in stunned astonishment and disbelief. A single word fell from the archer's mouth.
"Tommy?"
