What if Earth-2 Oliver Queen survived the sinking of the Gambit? Who might he have become? What happens when he comes face to face with Black Siren?

Or even E-2 Oliver returns to reunite with Dinah in E-1? Maybe E-2 Oliver was E-2's variation of Sara and he joined the League, except he became Al-Sa-Him and killed Ras, becoming Ras Al Ghul. But he never got with Nyssa cause he knew Laurel/Dinah was still alive?
Below STAR Labs Black Siren was locked up in the meta-human pipeline prison, in what was formerly the Particle Accelerator, the very thing that helped give Meta's their powers. Right now, she didn't feel anger at the Flash of Earth-1, or at everyone who put her under their thumb, threatening her life. No, right now she felt the painful sting of loss, knowing that today was the anniversary of the day she lost him, lost her Ollie. Nimble fingers pulled a small, worn picture from a hidden pocket on her costume. It was her and Ollie, dimly she remembered it was from high-school as she delicately traced his face with her finger.
Across town a breach began to open, and team Flash's computers went off, beeping to tell them that someone was arriving on their Earth. Unfortunately for them, they weren't in the room when it went off, and it was already done and closed by the time they walked back into the room. "Um guys?" Cisco coughed nervously, "The computers say that a breach was opened recently, did we do that?"
"No, we definitely did not do that." Barry ran his hands through his hair, "Where? Maybe I can find out who came through."
Cisco typed quickly, "Uh, two minutes ago out by Central City High School." Barry was gone in a gust of wind, and back in less than two minutes. "Whoever they were they were gone by the time I got there, left no trace." He frowned at the knowledge that someone from another Earth was here, they didn't know who but they all felt like it could be another person sent by Zoom to kill Barry.
Over the next couple of days Barry and the rest of team Flash couldn't shake the feeling like they were being watched. Caitlin brushed it off saying, "We know someone from another Earth is here, maybe their looking for you, maybe not. It's probably nothing, and we're just being paranoid."
She was wrong, they were being watched. The breacher canvasing the area, learning how to get in and out of the building and avoid being caught. That same night the breacher made it into the pipeline prison in the basement of the labs.
He was quick and stealthy, a small group of people who he had given the task of joining him on his mission. That being, to retrieve the Black Siren. He completely ignored the other prisoners, almost all of whom were asleep anyways, they were not his target. He moved with purpose, the others following their leader obediently, until he came to the final cell.
Slowly now, he turned to face the glass and he paused, watching as she slept, her chest rising with each soft breath she took. He waited patiently, knowing she was close to waking. Quickly she jolted up, sitting on the bed now as she narrowed her eyes at the intruder, dressed no more strangely than she herself was. He was in draped jackets with protective armor strategically placed; a bow was over his shoulder and a sword strapped next to his quiver, and he had a mask covering his identity. "What do you want?" She pushed to her feet, the tails of her black leather coat swishing around her as she moved. She almost jerked in surprise as the people behind him worked to open her cell. Feeling apprehensive she prepared to attack.
He removed the mask covering his face, slowly advancing towards Dinah as the cell opened. She had been ready to unleash her scream, but it caught in her throat as she saw the face of her savior. His cool eyes looking at her like she was an oasis in the middle of a desert, his lips parting as he uttered her name, "Dinah."
Immediately she felt her eyes go wide as she stepped backwards, her legs hitting the back of the bed, leaving very little room to continue. "You- You're not real." She blinked hard, her heart wishing this wasn't an illusion, but her head screamed that it couldn't possibly be real. "You're not-"she shook her head, her straight hair moving with the motion, "You're not-" She tried again.
"I am." He promises, finally closing the distance between them before reaching out and taking one of her hands in his own, and pressing it to his chest over his heart. She felt the steady rhythm beneath her fingers, and it contrasted against her own which she felt was beating erratically out of her chest. "You can't-" her heart began to win the battle against her mind, what she knew to be true.
"I am." He repeated gently, "I was Al-Sa-Him, and now I am Ras-Al-Ghul."
"How?" She forced back the tears that threatened to fill her eyes, "How? I saw you die Ollie, I saw you ripped from the Gambit." She herself had barely survived, but had been rescued, never setting foot on the purgatory that was Lian Yu.
"I was saved." He replied, "First by Ivo, and then by Nyssa and the League of Assassins." He calmly speaks, "I was trained in their ways, trained to kill and take out targets in return for their protection and guidance." Gently he reaches up, and his fingers ghost along her jaw before cupping her cheek with his gloved palm, the other hand still over hers on his chest. "When you are inducted into the League, you are given a new name, and mine was Al-Sa-Him, The Arrow. I trained with the best they had, and Ras-Al-Ghul chose me to become his heir."
"To become the next Ras-Al-Ghul, I had to do many things, the final challenge was to win against the old in battle. I did almost die that day," he continues, "But the thought of coming back to you kept me going, and I won. I killed Ras and took up his mantle. By then I had heard that Zoom sent you here, to Earth-1 to do his bidding." His eyes combed over her face, her expression, "I came immediately to retrieve you, and bring you home to Nanda Parbat."
Before she can object that Zoom will kill her he's already talking once more, "You don't have to worry about Zoom. We're going to take care of that, I won't let him touch you." He promises, a low growl in his voice that tells her he knows what he's up against and he's certain he can beat it.
"Ollie." She whispers, finally smiling, her heart and mind no longer warring inside her. Her hands, smaller than his, move and cup his own face as she tells him the one thing that she had been truly dying to say since she saw his face, "I love you. I love you so much." Softly she peppers kisses on his face, his jaw and finally his mouth, savoring the feeling of true happiness. This was real, and she wasn't going to let it slip away, let him get away. "Don't you ever-"She emphasizes, "dare leave me again."
"I won't." he brushes the hair that frames her face back softly, smiling at her for the first time, "I won't." He promises, before leaning back in and sealing it with a kiss.
