Chapter 7

.

Oliver and Nyssa searched for the bodies. It seemed unlikely that anyone could have survived this fall, but they knew enough to look for the bodies if they wanted to be sure Slade and Malcolm were really dead. The assasins were also looking. Although the Lazarus pit was destroyed, they feared what the assasins found Malcolm. To Nyssa and Oliver's suprise Slade was still alive, but he seemed to be in great pain. Malcolm was in one spot, his head was fairly close to the body.

.

Oliver: What happenned?

Slade: You saw most of the fight, I chopped of his head down here.

Nyssa: Good work.

Slade: The pain, sharp, keeps coming and going. Lasts seconds, or minutes. I don't understand.

Oliver: I think I do. The implant that Waller had put in your spine. It must have been damaged in the fall. Now, the implant is using it's last remaining energy, to kill you.

Slade: That sounds like Waller's style.

Oliver: Maybe if we can get you home they can fix you.

Slade: You don't know ARGUS.

Oliver: I know Lyla.

Slade: I'm useless now, unfit for duty in the suicide squad.

Oliver: I have to try.

Slade: I've heard about the Lazarus pit. Whatever happens, promise you won't use that to bring me back.

Oliver: I promise, I won't make that mistake again.
