Chapter 6: A soldier's rescue

(Riley's POV)

I got off my bike and went through the side door into the lair, after I entered I made my way towards the glass case that my suit was in. Once I was changed I grabbed my quiver and strapped it to my back then grabbed my bow. As I walked towards the side I put on my mask then put my hood up, after I exited the lair I got into the van and turned it on then made my way towards the warehouse Ra's told me about. On the way there my phone started to ring, I answered it "Arrow".

"Hey it's Rothstein I got some info on Brickwell. He's recruiting some members from both Starling and Central."Fox told me

"Any reason he's recruiting from Central?"I asked him

"My guess is he's upgrading to metahumans"He said

"Alright, let me know when you get any more information on him"I said before ending the call then dialed a new number.

"Thank you for calling the vigilante hotline, how can we help your vigilante needs?"The man on the phone asked after he answered.

"I got some information The Flash needs to hear. Can you put me through to him Cisco?"I asked him

"He's a little busy dealing with a teleporting meta, I'll be happy to relay a message."Cisco said

"Tell him that Brickwell is most likely recruiting metahumans from Central City. Just keep a ear out"I told him as I pulled up to the warehouse.

"How did you come by this information Ward?"He asked me

"Just pass along the message Cisco"I said then ended the call. I got out of the van with my bow and made my way towards the side of the building. After I reached the side of it I nocked my grappling arrow then released it hooking on the the roof of the building propelling me to the top.

After I got to the roof I looked down through a skylight to see Diggle below me, I looked around him to see if I could see anyone else but knowing the league they're waiting in places I can't see from up here. I kneel down and carefully set my bow down next to me looking at the skylight to see if it opens. After finding a latch I slowly open the skylight so it doesn't make any noise, once I get it open I grab my bow and another grappling arrow. After hooked it on the side of the skylight and slowly began to lower myself down to Diggle. After my feet hit the ground I attach the arrow from my bow then walk over to Diggle. I take a bolt off of my arm and start to cut the ropes binding him. "John it's me Riley, I'm here to save you".

"About time you showed up man"Diggle said as he got up from the chair rubbing his wrist

"Ra's told me that you and Felicity were still alive but I'm guessing he still has Felicity so, but we'll catch up later right now I am guessing there are league members watching us right now"I said as I handed him a pistol I had for him.

"Yeah you're right"He said while cocking the gun. We turned around to see 10 League of Assassins members surrounding us. I smiled as we made our stand.

(Timeskip 30 mins)

"Well that was fun"I said as I got in the passenger's seat and Diggle got in the driver's seat

"Still got the lair under verdant?"Diggle asked as he pulled out of the warehouse

"Yeah"I told him as he started to make his way there

"Thanks for getting me out man"He said as we made our way down the road

"Well I'm going to need your help John. I think we just started a war in Starling"I said as I looked outside the window as we drove

(Ra's Al Ghul POV)

"Master we just got word from Starling City. The White Arrow freed John Diggle and attacked our men"A League member said

"So war it is Mr. Ward"Ra's said as he smirked looking at the lazarus pit
